What a lucky world!

Chapter 117: The All-round Fake Qianyuan Wuzhai
"My dear friends, please listen to me." Zhang Mu dismounted and said with a bow, "My brother and I went out to do business. We gave this thing away, but we didn't make any money. Let alone a hundred taels, we two brothers don't even have ten taels in our pockets."

"That's what it's all the way home to."

"I also ask you, kind men, to be so kind as to leave a place for us to meet. When my brother and I return home, I will immediately send someone to deliver the money for today's passage. Is that okay?"

As he spoke, Zhang Mu showed a flattering smile on his face.

At this time, listening to Zhang Mu's words, Zhuge Nanxian behind him raised his eyebrows.

Although she had revealed her true identity to Zhang Mu before, it was just to show her sincerity. Now that she was on the road, she restored her previous appearance as "Zhu Tiannan" to avoid unnecessary trouble.

A faint light flashed in her eyes as she glanced at the bandits in front of her.

But they are all country tricks. The one with the highest cultivation level is the one standing behind the one-eyed man, who is only at the third or fourth level of Tongmai.

Even if she didn't take action against such a person, with Zhang Mu's fighting ability in the Sun Changing Gang, it would be effortless for him to deal with him.

Now that she heard what Zhang Mu said to the bandit, she knew in her heart that Zhang Mu had other plans.

but……

It looks like a fun thing to do.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Nanxian also jumped off his horse and said, "My dear friends, my elder brother is right."

"Everyone, let us go. Afterwards, we will definitely order our families to send us two hundred taels of silver. No, two hundred taels per person!"

Zhang Mu looked back at Zhuge Nanxian, and their eyes met, and they understood each other.

When Zhuge Nanxian said this, the one-eyed bandit burst into laughter. He then turned around and said to the bandits behind him, "Instead of grass growing in the fields, a golden jade treasure grew."

"It turns out we caught two big fish today!"

The bandits also started laughing.

The one-eyed bandit looked at Zhang Mu and Zhuge Nanxian again and said, "You two, please don't be so unorthodox."

"It's dark and the roads are slippery, and there's nowhere to go."

"My brother, how about you two come up the mountain with us and write back to us, asking your families to bring silver to redeem you?"

"According to what that little brother said, two thousand taels per person!"

"You...you guys, how dare you kidnap us? Do you know who we are?" Zhang Mu said angrily.

"I don't care who you are!" One-Eye said arrogantly, "Qianyuan Wuzhai, who have we ever been afraid of?"

At this moment, Zhuge Nanxian drew his sword and shouted, "Brother, fight them!"

Zhang Mu, however, grabbed Zhuge Nanxian and said, "Brother, hurry up and leave. I'll hold them back..."

"No, let's go together!"

"What nonsense! The family needs someone to carry on the family line! Go!"

"Brother!"

"Bandits, I'm going to fight you!"

At this time, Xuan Ji, who was hiding in the bag on the horse, covered her ears, twisted her body, and continued to sleep.

……

The mountain road is rugged.

Zhang Mu and Zhuge Nanxian had their hands tied and were tied to the back of a horse, and followed the bandits up the mountain.

Zhang Mu's face was as gloomy as water, and although Zhuge Nanxian had a frightened expression on his face, his eyes were full of curiosity and he kept looking around.

After walking about ten miles along the mountain road, Zhang Mu saw a flash of fire ahead, which looked like a mountain stronghold. Although this stronghold could not be compared with Qianyuan Wuzhai, it was still quite well-preserved.

Zhang Mu and Zhuge Nanxian were led through the stronghold's main gate and then into a large hall. The one-eyed man took a few gulps from a jar of wine and ordered, "Go and call out the leaders! We caught two big fish today!"

At that moment, the minions ran out.

Zhang Mu and Zhuge Nanxian sat back to back on the ground, their hands tied behind their backs. As they walked, Zhang Mu also saw some of the situation in the village.

There are about a hundred people. The village is shabby, but some places can be seen to have been renovated recently, probably only a few months ago.

About half a cup of tea later, Zhang Mu saw two men and one woman walking into the hall.

The man in the lead was a burly man with a white beard that reached his chest. The man behind him looked to be in his fifties, with deep wrinkles on his face. The last one was a middle-aged woman with half-revealed clothes, and her every move was not reminiscent of makeup.

"Big boss, second boss, third boss..." Seeing the three men coming in, the one-eyed man hurried forward to boast, "I caught these two big fish at the foot of the mountain today. They can get at least 5,000 taels of silver to redeem themselves."

"Hahahaha... well done, brothers." Upon hearing what the one-eyed man said, the white-bearded man laughed loudly. He walked up to Zhang Mu and Zhuge Nanxian and said, "Don't be afraid, little brothers. Just cooperate and take the silver, and we'll release you. We won't kill you."

"I, Lin Jinglong, always keep my word and always do what I say."

After this "Lin Jinglong" finished speaking, the middle-aged man behind him said with a gloomy face, "Humph, the village chief's words are of course binding. But if you don't see the silver, then please hand these two delicate young men over to me, Lu Xuanxiu, to deal with!"

Zhang Mu listened to the two men introduce themselves, then looked at the woman and asked, "You must be Thirteenth Lady?"

The woman was stunned for a moment. She had never expected Zhang Mu to point her out, but then she covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, saying, "Young Master is truly a wonderful person."

"You still want to seduce me in this situation!"

"Well, if you can send the silver in time, I can reward you two brothers..."

Zhuge Nanxian snorted coldly, feeling that the woman's behavior was a bit disgusting.

Zhang Mu smiled brightly and looked at "Lin Jinglong" and said, "Master Lin, my family has always had good relations with the fourth master of the mountain stronghold. Please..."

"What fourth leader?" Lu Xuanxiu interrupted directly, "There are only three of us in charge of the village. I'm afraid someone has tricked you!"

Zhang Mu was startled for a moment, then nodded: "Maybe I was cheated."

Then, Zhang Mu continued: "Silver is a small matter!"

"But how can I write a letter when I'm tied up like this?"

Seeing Zhang Mu's appearance, "Lin Jinglong" nodded and waved his hand. The one-eyed man immediately stepped forward and untied the rope tied around Zhang Mu's hand.

Zhang Mu pointed at Zhuge Nanxian again and said, "I can't get that much silver by myself. I need my brother to sign it together. He is usually the favorite of my old lady."

"Lin Jinglong" nodded again after hearing this, and the one-eyed man immediately stepped forward to untie Zhuge Nanxian.

"Brother, let's write this letter together." Zhang Mu patted Zhuge Nanxian's shoulder. Zhuge Nanxian's eyes rolled, and he understood what Zhang Mu meant and nodded.

"Paper and pen!" Zhang Mu said to "Lin Jinglong".

The one-eyed man, who was well prepared, immediately handed over the paper and pen he had just taken. Zhang Mu picked up the brush, but was hesitant to put it down.

"Young master, what word can't you write?" At this time, the "Thirteenth Lady" came up and was about to grab Zhang Mu's hand. Zhang Mu's face suddenly changed, and he used the brush as a spear, stabbing it directly into the throat of the "Thirteenth Lady".

This sudden change stunned everyone in the hall, but "Lin Jinglong" was the first to react. He raised a machete from the side and slashed at Zhang Mu. Zhang Mu suddenly rushed forward and knocked Lin Jinglong away.

At this time, the others also reacted, and in the chaos, they all attacked Zhang Mu.

At this moment, Zhuge Nanxian moved!
When Zhang Mu said “write a letter together”, he meant “take action together”!
Judging from the way these people were robbing people down the mountain, I'm afraid they would kill everyone without leaving a single innocent person.

Zhuge Nanxian's figure was seen flying, and every time his afterimage paused, one person was knocked out. Zhang Mu also picked up a machete on the ground, and with a cold light, he wantonly harvested the lives of everyone in the hall.

At this time, the shouting and killing sounds in the hall were also heard outside the hall. A group of minions rushed in shouting. Zhang Mu no longer held back. He slapped the troop-raising card on his waist, and a silver dragon suddenly appeared, releasing a cold air!
Suddenly, the warm spring in the village is gone and the cold winter is back!
