Chapter 1691: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1691: The Collapsed Bandit
Xia Yi was a secret guard by the Emperor's side. Although she wasn't among the top-tier guards, her skill was unquestionable.
With her assistance, eliminating Guo Laowu was undoubtedly going to be easier.
After a moment of consideration, Meng Yunzheng agreed, "Alright, then come with me."
He looked at Shu Yu and said, "Ah Yu, I'm leaving this to you. I'll be back as soon as possible."
Shu Yu's expression turned serious. "Be careful, safety first."
Meng Yunzheng tidied up and left his medicine pouches, including antidotes for various poisons, with Shu Yu. In case someone broke in while he was away, these might come in handy.
Meng Pei wanted to hand his sword to Xia Yi, but she declined, saying, "I'll find one outside. Keep your sword close, it might not be safe here."
Considering his own injuries and his barely conscious brother, with Young Master He not having the time, the only capable and resourceful person was Shu Yu. He couldn't rely on her alone.
So, he kept the sword with him.
Time was of the essence, and Meng Yunzheng and Xia Yi prepared to set off immediately.
However, just as they were about to open the door, the bandit behind them suddenly exclaimed in confusion, "What exactly do you want to do? Huh?"
He started off in a daze, but as he listened, he became increasingly befuddled.
Why did Xia Yi seem to know more than he did? She wasn't as timid as when she had come out of the cell earlier. The aura she displayed was akin to that of an assassin stained with fresh blood. In an instant, he found her somewhat frightening.
Moreover, wasn't Young Master Meng here to save his uncle? Now that he was right in front of them, why weren't they leaving?
What did it mean that Guo Laowu couldn't be spared? What were they trying to do? Were they really planning to kill Guo Laowu?
The bandit's head buzzed, his legs started to tremble. Seeing Meng Yunzheng and Xia Yi about to leave, he finally couldn't control himself and blurted out.
Meng Yunzheng merely glanced at him and said, "Can't you see? We're going to kill someone."
He, he, he had indeed figured that out, but precisely because he had, he felt a chilling sensation throughout his body, his face turning pale.
"If you don't want to die, stay put." Meng Yunzheng coldly retracted his gaze. Seeing that Xia Yi had already opened the door and determined there was no danger outside, they both slipped out.
Young Master He swiftly locked the door, let out a breath, and turned to say, "So, we just wait like this? What's our next move?"
He was looking at Meng Pei, but Meng Pei was looking at Shu Yu, and Shu Yu... was looking at that bandit.
The bandit shivered, silently shrinking into a corner, and cautiously asked, "Who, who are you exactly? Weren't you here to rescue people?"
First, they released wild beasts that tore through the black market people. Now, after saving someone, they weren't leaving and instead were planning to kill the steward of the black market.
The bandit suddenly realized that by guiding them and explaining the situation of the black market, he might not necessarily receive the antidote in the end.
They didn't seem to care. If they could kill Steward Guo, they certainly could kill him too.
No, he needed to save himself.
He had seen it earlier. Young Master Meng had given the antidote to the girl beside him. This girl... had a sleeve arrow on her wrist. She was the one who shot him with an arrow initially, and her wrist was still wrapped in bandages.
He... probably couldn't beat her, couldn't save himself. What should he do?
Shu Yu just stared at him and as his eyes darted around, raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's the matter? Want to play tricks, want to snatch the antidote? Do you even know which one the antidote is? You..."
