Qiao Sichan's heart skipped a beat.
However, this man was different from the men she had met in the past.
He completely ignored the two sisters.
If it were anyone else, they would have come forward to introduce themselves.
He would also take the opportunity to get to know them after the incident just now to thank them.
Perhaps he felt embarrassed to come forward because he had just lost face?
Qiao Sichan shook her head, no longer thinking about the matter.
A moment later, Qiao Sichan and the others finished their meal and left the restaurant.
The two sisters got into the carriage, and the rest rode on their horses. The group headed south.
Ye Sheng looked at it for a moment before he retracted his gaze and continued eating.
If that middle-aged martial artist hadn't stepped out just now…
That young master and the dark-faced man would definitely be in trouble today!
After paying the bill, Ye Sheng continued on his way.
************
On the road, a carriage was guarded by a few people on horseback.
Suddenly, two large trees fell down from the roadside ahead, blocking their way.
Zhao Peng pulled the reins, and the horse under him let out a roar. It raised its hooves and stopped in place.
He raised his hand, signaling the people behind him to be careful.
The carriage came to a sudden stop. Qiao Sitong lifted the curtain and asked with a puzzled expression.
"What happened?"
Zhao Peng turned around and replied,"I'm afraid we encountered a bandit!"”
" Bandits?!"
Qiao Sitong cried out in surprise. Qiao Sichan's expression tensed up as she pulled the curtains open.
"Young miss, you should go back quickly. If the thief sees you, things will be difficult.”
Ordinary robbers only sought wealth and did not kill.
Zhao Peng was confident in his Rank-7 strength, so he might not even need to pay for the passage.
However, if the bandits looked at Qiao Sichan and her sister, they would definitely be killed.
Things would be troublesome if the other party was lustful.
"Alright…alright."
" Yes!" Qiao Sichan replied timidly, her expression panicked.
Then, she looked forward worriedly, but she did not see anything, so she had to lower the curtain.
In the narrow space of the carriage.
When Qiao Sichan and Qiao Sitong heard that there might be bandits blocking their way, they felt uneasy.
Nearly a hundred bandits jumped out from behind the two fallen trees.
The leader was a fierce man in a robe with a scar on his face.
Carrying a nine-ringed saber, he looked at Zhao Peng arrogantly and muttered.
"I opened this mountain and planted this road. If you want to cross this path, leave behind the money to buy your life!”
After saying that, he released a ferocious aura. Rank-8 martial artist!
The faces of the people behind Zhao Peng turned pale.
Zhao Peng's expression changed slightly as he felt that it was a thorny problem.
"Brother, please do me a favor!"”
"As you can see, we didn't bring much money with us.”
"If you let us pass, we are willing to pool together and offer five hundred taels as payment.”
"Five hundred taels?"
The bandit leader with the nine-ringed saber on his shoulder had a cold expression.
"Without five thousand taels today, you can forget about passing!”
He looked at Zhao Peng in disdain and continued.
"A Rank-7 martial artist needs to gather five hundred taels. Do you think I'm a fool?”
"Five thousand taels is too much. We really can't afford it.”
Zhao Peng looked troubled.
They could indeed afford five hundred taels.
However, this bandit leader was asking for 5,000 taels. They really didn't have it.
The bandit leader did not believe Zhao Peng's words at all and said with a fierce expression.
"5,000 taels of silver is now the money to buy your lives! If you can't take it out, then you'll die!”
"Three thousand taels?" Zhao Peng probed.
"Five thousand taels! If it's one tael less, none of you can live!" The bandit leader seemed determined to ask for five thousand taels.
"Friend, we really can't afford five thousand taels!”Zhao Peng's voice was already a little angry.
"Unfortunately, all of you will die here today!”The bandit leader's gaze was fierce, and his voice gradually turned cold.
"The smell of makeup?"
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past.
The bandit leader sniffed hard, and his expression changed. A hint of lust flashed in his eyes.
"There's a woman in the carriage behind you!”
"I smell it!"
Zhao Peng's expression tensed up as he thought to himself," Not good."
Be it smell, hearing, or sight, high-ranked martial artists were far superior to ordinary people.
However, the bandit leader could smell Qiao Sichan and Qiao Sitong in the carriage behind them.
This made things even more difficult!
Zhao Peng's expression was ugly as he pressed his hand on the hilt of his saber. He was already prepared to fight with all his might.
When the other bandits heard the bandit leader's exclamation, they immediately waved the weapons in their hands and shouted excitedly.
The faces of the people beside the carriage turned pale, and they hurriedly pressed their hands on their weapons.
Qiao Sichan and her sister didn't know what was going on outside.
However, when they heard the strange cries of the bandits, they were so afraid that they trembled.
Just as the two sides were about to engage in a great battle…
The sound of horse hooves came from afar.
A handsome and dignified man!
They rode over!
