Chapter 1692: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1692: I'm on Your Side
Shu Yu hadn't finished speaking when the bandit suddenly knelt down with a 'thud,' bowing to her with three resounding knocks of his head.
Shu Yu, "..."
When the bandit lifted his face, he appeared with tears and snot, his expression one of profound suffering.
"Miss, please spare me. Don't kill me. Sob, I... I've never killed anyone. Really, though I've been here, I haven't actually committed any violent acts. I might have a loose tongue and a bit of a malicious thought now and then, but I truly haven't harmed anyone. Miss, please consider my kindness and let me go. I've helped you all the way here; even if I didn't achieve much, I've still put in effort, haven't I? In the future, I'll do whatever you say. If you want me to go east, I won't go west. I'll be your ox and your horse. You give me the antidote, just treat me as if I'm nothing and let me go."
Shu Yu, "...You're quite a fair-weather friend."
"Yes, yes, I'm like a weed, very pliable. Besides, deep down, I've always been on your side. I never agreed with the brutal methods of the black market. When they went to cause trouble in Chenggu County, I didn't follow. Now that they're going to the neighboring county, I've come up with an excuse to stay behind. I haven't participated in any of their deeds; I've just been guarding the mansion. I'm innocent."
Shu Yu's mouth twitched. This guy really thought highly of himself to claim innocence like that.
Seeing him crying with snot and tears, she was starting to feel disgusted. "Alright, alright, stop crying for now. Whether you've killed or committed evil deeds, someone will judge that. Just make sure to guide us safely, and we'll provide you with the antidote."
As for his future fate, that was beyond their control.
All these people from the black market would eventually be apprehended and interrogated. Whether they'd spend time in prison, be exiled, sentenced to hard labor, or even executed by beheading—it was all up to the authorities to decide.
Considering his help along the way, they wouldn't use poison to kill him.
The bandit wiped his tears, sniffled, and choked up, his voice carrying a trace of hope. "You... You're not lying to me, right?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Upon reflection, the bandit realized it made sense. They had already arrived in the black market and caused quite a commotion. This Xia Yi seemed to understand the place even better than he did. It didn't seem necessary for them to deceive him.
And... when they encountered the wolves earlier, Young Master Meng had saved him, giving him a hand.
He finally stood up from his kneeling position and sat quietly in a corner.
Seeing Meng Pei tending to Meng Xiaoshu's wounds, he tried to curry favor again, "Um, do you need any help?"
Meng Pei glanced at him, causing the bandit to shrink back, "Alright, alright, I get it. I won't move, no need to worry about me causing trouble."
Meng Pei continued tending to the wounds with the assistance of Young Master He.
As a young woman, Shu Yu found it a bit awkward to help, so she simply sat by the door, listening to the sounds outside.
The noises gradually faded, but the steward Guo would probably soon organize a comprehensive search.
Thankfully, the black market was vast, and after the chaos they had caused, there were many casualties requiring medical attention. Under these circumstances, it might take some time before they were searched.
The only concern was that this abandoned room was too close to the warehouse. If Jiang Kuanyu ordered a search starting from this vicinity, they would be in danger.
