Chapter 107: Lian Jin's Killing

Suning and the other two rode their horses desperately in the dark night. They didn't know how long they had been running. When they saw that there was no movement behind them, Suning stopped.

Under the astonished gaze of Tao Fang and Wu Tingfang, Suning quickly dismounted, then slashed the horse's butt with a sword, driving the horse to continue running forward, and then ran towards the woods on the side of the road.

Su Ning ran towards the woods and grass by the roadside. Seeing Tao Fang and Wu Tingfang standing there in a daze, he angrily scolded them, "You two idiots, why don't you abandon your horses and hide like me?"

"what?"

Although Tao Fang and Wu Tingfang didn't understand what "big idiot" meant, it didn't prevent them from knowing that it was not a good thing to say, but they didn't care at all. Instead, they followed Suning's actions and quickly followed behind Suning, hiding in the grass and woods nearby.

Not long after the three of them hid, they saw the horse bandits chasing them. This made Tao Fang and Wu Tingfang, who were about to question Suning, suddenly swallow their words.

"Brother, these three guys are pretty good at running?"

"What a joke! Let them run ahead for a while, and wait until their horses run out of energy, and then see where they'll run to!"

"Haha, big brother! You're still the best!

Let's make them three happy for a while, and then we'll let them see how powerful we are!"

Suning and the other two who were hiding on the side of the road held their breath and heard the echoes of the horse bandits' conversation. Tao Fang and Wu Tingfang were relieved. Only when they could no longer see the horse bandits did Suning and the other two relax.

"Thank you, sir, for your rescue!

We in Wujiabao will definitely remember this!" Tao Fang, who had regained consciousness, looked at Suning with gratitude.

"Okay! Stop talking nonsense!
The bandits will find out they’ve been tricked soon and will definitely chase after us!
We'd better flee from here as soon as possible!"

"Huh? Your Excellency has a point!"

Wu Tingfang has always been arrogant and extreme. Hearing Suning's repeated sarcasm and ridicule towards them, he became more and more unhappy.

Tao Fang, who was standing by, saw Wu Tingfang, who was in a bad mood, and quickly pulled Wu Tingfang's sleeve to stop her from losing her temper, and then followed behind Su Ning.

After walking for a long time, Suning stopped when he felt that the surroundings had returned to safety. Then he found a place to rest.

Seeing Suning's behavior, Wu Tingfang became even more unhappy, and then looked at Suning with a grim expression.

"Sir, who are you?
What is the purpose of being so secretive?"

"What a joke! Is this how you treat your savior?"

Hearing Suning's sarcasm, Wu Tingfang suddenly froze, realizing that he had gone too far. Tao Fang, who was standing beside him, quickly apologized and said, "Sir, I am Tao Fang, the steward of the Wu Ranch!
This is our eldest daughter Wu Tingfang.

"The young lady had no ill intentions just now. She was just a little anxious and angry when she was suddenly attacked by the bandits. Please don't mind!"

"Forget it! Saving you guys was just a matter of convenience, I don't mind it at all!"

"Thank you, sir! May I know your name?" Tao Fang said with joy.

"My name is Suning, and I'm just passing through here on my way to Handan!"

"It's Brother Su. We're on the same route. Let's go to Handan together at dawn!"

Suning thought that he was also a little directionally challenged. Although he had Shanrou's map, it would be nice to be able to follow these two natives on the journey, so he nodded in agreement.

"Alright!"

Seeing that Suning agreed, Tao Fang was even happier. He then sat down with Wu Tingfang, who looked sullen, to rest. Fearing that bandits might come after them, the three of them didn't light a fire. Seeing Wu Tingfang tightly hugging the package in her arms, Suning immediately guessed that it was the Heshi Bi.

In fact, Suning is also very curious about the famous He Shi Bi and wants to see it first.

But thinking that we were just strangers and Wu Tingfang disliked me so much, I decided not to argue with her anymore.

Not long after, the sky gradually brightened. Xiang Shaolong and the other two did not stay here any longer, but slowly began to try to leave. Since Tao Fang and Wu Tingfang were natives, of course they would lead the way.

After walking for another half a day, the three finally returned to the Wu Ranch. Wu Yingyuan and others, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, immediately ran up to them in surprise when they saw the three people returning.

"Butler Tao, Fang'er, you're finally back?"

"Master, we encountered bandits on the road.

Thanks to Brother Su for rescuing us, otherwise we would be in dire straits!"

"Ah? Where's the Heshi Bi?"

"Dad, the He Shi Bi is here with me!" Wu Tingfang quickly handed over the package in his hand.

Wu Yingyuan took the package handed to him by Wu Tingfang and opened it nervously. Then he carefully observed the He Shi Bi inside. When he found nothing unusual, he relaxed.

After carefully putting away the Heshi Bi again, Wu Yingyuan remembered Tao Fang's explanation just now, and then looked at Su Ning who was wearing a mask.

"Brother Su, thank you for rescuing my daughter and Tao Fang. Please come to our Wu Ranch to rest for a while, and let us, Wu Family Castle, show our hospitality!"

"Thank you so much for the hospitality, Lord Wu!"

"Humph!"

Seeing that Suning accepted the invitation of his father Wu Yingyuan, Wu Tingfang didn't know why he hated Suning so much, and he felt very unhappy.

Lian Jin drove all the way to the bandit's stronghold. Seeing the drunk bandit staggering, Lian Jin showed an expression of disgust.

Seeing his employer Lian Jin coming, the bearded bandit sobered up and quickly explained with a smile, "Brother Lian Jin, I'm so sorry!
Just as we were about to complete the mission you assigned us, a master suddenly appeared and rescued Wu Family Fort's chief steward Tao Fang and the eldest daughter Wu Tingfang!

"what?
You mean, you failed this time?
Didn't succeed in getting the Heshi Bi?"

The bearded bandit showed an embarrassed expression and apologized quickly, "It's our fault that we failed to complete the mission!

Although we have lost many brothers, the deposit you paid will still be refunded!"

The reason why the bearded bandit said this was that he felt that he had not completed his mission. Although he did not succeed in obtaining the Heshi Bi, he still robbed a large amount of supplies from the Wu family cavalry, so he looked down on the deposit paid by Lian Jin.

"Humph! You don't think you can get rid of me with just this deposit, do you?"

"what?
Lian Jin, don’t be ungrateful!
It’s great that I can refund your deposit, what else do you want to do?”

"What am I going to do? Your lives, of course!"

"What? You."

Before the bearded horse bandit could finish his words, Lian Jin quickly drew out the bronze sword in his hand and swung it at the bearded horse bandit's neck, separating his head from his body.

The flying head of the bearded bandit and the blood spurting out of his neck woke up the drunk bandits present, and they all rushed towards Lian Jin, shouting and screaming.

Lian Jin looked at the "weaklings" coming at him with disdain, and waved his bronze sword continuously, quickly turning the bandit stronghold into a living hell.
