The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 251 Creating Chaos

A vicious and ruthless scoundrel!

After hearing Shang Wan's words, the same sentence popped into the minds of the three of them.

Who would use murder to celebrate a wedding?

“So we have to rescue them tonight,” Shang Wan said. “Not counting those who went out, there are 471 people in the bandit stronghold now.”

"So many?!" Zhou Gua almost couldn't suppress his voice.

Even though he knew that Shang Wan was highly skilled in martial arts, how could he possibly deal with more than three hundred ruthless bandits, excluding the hostages, and the four of them carrying a baby?

"I didn't tell you to kill them all," Shang Wan glanced at him. "Have you forgotten the plan?"

Zhou Gui: "..."

Did they have such a plan?

Shang Wan said, "I'm going to capture the bandit leader and her future husband. You guys go rescue the hostages. Once I've captured them, I'll meet up with you, and then we'll start killing the bandits."

They're too difficult to deal with if they all attack at once; wouldn't it be better to take them down one by one?

Besides, aren't there other capable fighters in the caravan? Releasing them out would only make them helpers.

Zhou Gua was exasperated. "Don't make it sound so simple!"
The bandit camp is so big, how did they know where the hostages were being held?
At this moment, Xiao Huan asked, "Sister, do you know where the people who were captured and taken up the mountain are kept?"

“It will take you there.” Shang Wan pointed to the lynx that had been perched on a nearby tree branch for who knows how long.

The lynx meowed, its round, beastly eyes glowing eerily in the night.

Zhou Gua swallowed hard. After the sparrow led the way, it was now the lynx's turn?

Shang Wan looked at the three of them: "Any more questions? If not, then we're all set..."

"Yes!" Zhou Gua, fearing Shang Wan would order them to act immediately, quickly spoke up, pointing to the brightly lit mountain stronghold not far away, "How do we get in?"

Don't forget the original question as you talk!

Shang Wan... she really had forgotten. She raised her hand and touched her chin, mentally reviewing the defenses of the outpost, trying to find any loopholes.

Yuanyuan looked up at her mother with her little face upturned, and also raised her hand to touch her chubby little chin, her cheeks tense up, thinking very seriously.

—Should we eat hawthorn strips or peanut brittle later?
"I've got it." Shang Wan carried the baby to the side, leaned down and whispered a few words in the baby's ear.

With her round little head bobbing, she got down from her mother's arms, carried her little flowery bundle, and walked into the mountains and forests.

In no time, the short, stocky figure disappeared into the bushes.

Zhou Gua asked Shi Tou with a puzzled look, "Where is Miss going?"

Stone shrugged. How would he know?

Zhou Gua: "Aren't you worried?"

"No." Stone's face showed not a trace of worry, but even a hint of anticipation.

Zhou Gui: "..."

How big of a heart does a person have to be to let a toddler under three years old run around in the mountains at night without worrying?
Zhou Gua glanced at Shang Wan out of the corner of her eye and fell silent again; this mother's heart was even more concerned.

He then mentally slapped himself. If even his own mother isn't worried, why is he, an outsider, so concerned?

"Wolves! There are wolves!"

“So many wolves!”

"Quickly, bring a torch!"

"Get out of here, you beast!"

Suddenly, screams rang out in front of the bandit camp. A pack of wolves surrounded the gate, their eerie eyes fixed on the bandits, as if they were about to attack.

Chaos erupted at the entrance to the mountain stronghold. Some were afraid and tried to back away, some ran to report the danger, and others brandished knives, ready to kill the wolves.

Everyone's attention was focused on the wolf pack that had suddenly attacked the bandit stronghold and was eyeing them menacingly, so they naturally didn't notice the few people who had silently flown by overhead.

The three people who were used as punching bags by Shang Wan: "..."

Upon receiving the report, the bandit leader, without even trying on his wedding dress, hurriedly grabbed his broadsword and ran out. Wolves are vengeful animals; if one makes an enemy of the wolf pack, one will inevitably be targeted by them in the future.

By the time the bandit leader arrived, the wolf pack had already retreated.

They came suddenly, and they left suddenly.

There were some bloodstains at the entrance of the mountain stronghold, from both wolves and humans, but no corpses.

The bandit leader breathed a sigh of relief and asked sternly, "What have you done?"

It's still the height of summer, and the mountains and forests are teeming with wild animals; the wolves won't lack food. Their sudden appearance suggests that the bandits have provoked them.

Could it be that someone stole the wolf cubs and ate them?
The bandits looked at each other, bewildered; they hadn't done anything.

The bandit leader frowned. His men wouldn't dare to lie to him. Could it really be that the wolf pack had acted on a whim?

Or perhaps the bloodstains from the ten people killed during the day were so strong that they attracted the wolves?

Thinking of this, the bandit leader immediately ordered, "Dispose of all the corpses piled up in the house, and sprinkle some lime powder to prevent other bloodthirsty beasts from coming here."

At the same time, she ordered several careful subordinates to search the vicinity of the bandit camp to see if there was anything unusual.

Meanwhile, Shang Wan and the others had already evaded the guards and hidden in an empty house.

The room was completely dark, with no lights on.

Shang Wan whispered, "Let's split up."

The three nodded, opened the door, and slipped out through the crack.

Because of the noise in front of the village gate, many bandits were lured there, giving the three men an opportunity to slip through.

A lynx nimbly leaped down from the roof and ran toward the right-hand corridor.

The three hurriedly followed.

Inside the room, Shang Wan closed his eyes and listened to the sounds of the entire mountain stronghold.

Curses, shouts, complaints, cries for help, sobs... a cacophony of sounds swirled in his mind, which Shang Wan painstakingly unraveled, extracting information bit by bit with her superhuman patience.

Oh, so that's where it was.

Suddenly opening her eyes, a dim light flashed across them, and Shang Wan opened the door and went out.

·
In the room decorated with red silk, a pair of double happiness symbols are pasted on the wall opposite the door.

The red candles flickered, and the thin red gauze fluttered gently in the night breeze blowing in through the window, revealing a human-shaped object bound like a caterpillar on the carved bed.

"Ugh! Uh-huh!"

The young man lay on his side in the center of the large bed, his fair forehead covered with large beads of sweat, his hands tied behind his back struggling incessantly, trying to break free of the ropes with brute force.

"Need any help?" A slightly familiar female voice suddenly came, startling the young man.

He turned his head and the first thing he saw was a crimson skirt.

My gaze shifted upwards, meeting the eyes of a pair of moist, almond-shaped eyes.

"Ugh!!" The young man's eyes lit up, and in his excitement, he twisted and struggled even more violently.

"Don't rush, let's talk first." Shang Wan removed the gag from the young man's mouth and sat down on the edge of the bed. "What are you doing here?"

"Of course she was kidnapped." Qiao Yu'an spat out the fluff in his mouth, his tone a mixture of embarrassment and exasperation. "That bandit leader coveted my good looks and wanted me to marry her."

Shang Wan raised an eyebrow: "Young Master Qiao is quite the ladies' man."

Qiao Yu'an's face immediately turned ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly.

What incredible luck with women!
"You still have the mood to chat with me? The person that bandit leader really has his eye on is Chengjing." Qiao Yu'an glanced at Shang Wan sideways. "If I hadn't mistakenly drunk that tea, Chengjing would be the one tied up here right now."

Shang Wan: "..."

Tsk, that face is just so attractive.

In his mind, Shang Wan mentally crushed the bandit leader who dared to covet her fox a hundred times before reaching out and tearing the thick hemp rope binding Qiao Yu'an.
