Chapter 661 Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
The three people, who were originally lying down or sprawling, gradually started to make rustling noises after the snoring came from the talisman.

One of them bent over to catch a glimpse of what was happening on Fu Lu's side, acting as a lookout for his companion.

The person who had previously discovered that his knot was not completely tight also began to make his own little movements, carefully moving his wrist up and down, trying to loosen the knot that was not yet fully tied.

After secretly fiddling with it for half a day, the knot, which was not tight to begin with, gradually began to loosen.

The man dared not make too many movements. He carefully pulled one hand out of the rope and stared motionlessly at the talisman in the distance. Seeing that his snoring had not changed, he gradually became bolder, carefully sat up, and reached out to take the rope off his leg.

After observing several times to make sure he hadn't alerted the other party, he finally untied all the ropes binding him, carefully rolled over, and crawled on the ground to get close to his comrade. He then crawled behind the other man and tried to untie the knots that were tied around his body.

But before he could loosen the tight knot, the snoring from the talisman suddenly stopped, and at the same time, a loud shout came from afar: "They're trying to escape!"

The three were quite frightened. When they looked up, they saw that the talisman who had gone to sleep had somehow arrived. Seeing the commotion, it roared and woke up the dozing talisman as well. The two of them were running towards them.

"You go quickly, don't worry about us! They haven't achieved their goal yet, they won't do anything to us! Go back and call our brothers to rescue us! Hurry up!" The man whose ropes hadn't been untied yet hurriedly nudged his companion aside with his shoulder, signaling him to escape quickly.

The man was still somewhat unwilling, but then he remembered what the talisman had said before: "Two fists can't beat four hands." So he didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He quickly abandoned his two companions and darted into the dark forest behind him. His figure soon disappeared into the woods.

The talisman chased after them menacingly, intending to continue pursuing them into the forest, but the talisman pulled them back.

"Don't be reckless! That forest is dark and deep, and that guy definitely knows this area better than you do. If you rush in like this, you might not only fail to catch anyone but also suffer losses!"

Keep an eye on these two first, otherwise if we neglect one and they run away, it will be a real disaster!
"The two gentlemen are still resting. We can't just leave them here. It's not safe for us to chase after them!" Fu Wen shook his head at Fu Lu.

Fu Lu looked reluctant, but still stopped in his tracks.

Fu Wen bent down to check the ropes binding the two people on the ground. After confirming that they were not loose, he and Fu Lu each carried one of them, grumbling and scolding as they moved the two "prisoners" to a closer place where they could be more easily guarded.

After a while, Lu Qing and Zhu Yu, who were supposed to be resting in the carriage, also got off. Both of them looked very energetic and did not seem to be half asleep.

"What about the other one?" Lu Qing looked at the two people tied to the tree and asked Fu Wen, who was standing to the side.

Rune smiled: "They've already escaped."

Lu Qing nodded, then turned to Zhu Yu and asked, "You didn't eat well tonight because of what these guys did, are you hungry now?"

"You know what, I'm actually a little hungry." Zhu Yu nodded in agreement.

"When you went out to gather firewood today, didn't you catch a wild rabbit?" Lu Qing gestured to Fu Lu, "Second Master is hungry, bring the rabbit to me." Fu Lu immediately responded and ran to get the wild rabbit they had caught earlier.

The two men had expected Lu Qing and Zhu Yu to be furious when they woke up and discovered that someone had been let go because their subordinates had dozed off. However, they found that Lu Qing and Zhu Yu were quite calm, which made them uneasy.

Zhu Yu strolled leisurely to a spot no more than ten feet away from the two men, put his hands on his hips, and looked the two disheveled "prisoners" up and down.

"I say, why are you so stubborn? You guys are strong and look capable, but you don't have a single bit of thuggishness about you... You can't even fake it!" Zhu Yu shook his head and sighed, looking regretful. "Originally, my brother was quite patient with you. He thought that at worst, he would let you go hungry for a night, make you suffer a little, and then give you some food and drink in the morning. We could then have an open and honest chat, wouldn't that be great!"

And what happened? In the dead of night, one of your companions managed to escape! Don't let my brother's calm demeanor fool you; knowing him as I do, he's seething with anger right now.

As Zhu Yu spoke, she turned to look at Lu Qing, who was expressionless and waiting for the talisman to retrieve the rabbit: "Look at him right now, doesn't he seem to have no emotions?"

Actually, that's just how he is. The angrier he gets, the less you can tell from his face, but when he gets down to business...

In short, the calmer their face, the more ruthless their hands...

So if you two still want to live, you'd better not try to tough it out. While there's still room for maneuver, tell us the truth so we can communicate.

Where exactly have you hidden the eldest grandson of the Prince of Lan?

At first, the two men thought Zhu Yu was just bluffing and trying to trick them, so they looked at him with disdain and didn't even glance at him.

But when they heard the last sentence, they were both taken aback and subconsciously looked at Zhu Yu. Their surprise and tension could not be concealed even in the dark of night.

One of them reacted quickly and hurriedly turned his gaze to the side, seemingly trying to hide his panic by not looking at Zhu Yu, but unfortunately, his attempt only made things worse.

The other one, slightly calmer than his companion, quickly regained his composure and coldly snorted, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting! We're just a bunch of ordinary mountain bandits, robbing and plundering for a carefree life. What does this 'Prince Lan' or 'son of a son' have to do with us? We have no idea who you're talking about!"

As they were talking, Lu Qing walked over, carrying the rabbit he had given him with a talisman in one hand and a dagger in the other. He stopped in front of Zhu Yu, raised the rabbit and the knife slightly, and asked, "Shall you do it, or shall I?"

Zhu Yu looked at the rabbit: "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut! It's just a rabbit, you can do it."

Upon hearing this, the two tightly bound "bandits" gave Zhu Yu a strange look.

In their eyes, the tall and mighty "Big Brother" Lu Qing should be the ruthless one, and the words of this much thinner, pale-faced young man sounded like utter nonsense.
