Li Xiu Ning had been captured by the mountain bandits while cursing. Li Lizhi and the dozen guards naturally did not dare to resist. They all put down their weapons and surrendered.
Lin Chen returned with a great victory. He hummed a little song and leisurely returned to the village.
Li Xiu Ning and Li Lizhi were escorted by a few bandits to the outside of the village.
When they saw the scale of the village, they couldn't help but be stunned. Li Xiu Ning's beautiful eyes widened.
This was a mountain bandit stronghold?
How was this possible? This is even stronger than my mother's pass!
A high wall was erected in the stronghold, wrapped in a layer of iron. On the wall, there were sharp blades and strange arrow shooting tools.
This thing was a huge box with hundreds of arrows on it. Although Li Xiu Ning didn't recognize this thing, she could guess its function.
If the enemy attacked, the arrows in the boxes would be fired at the same time. There were more than ten boxes, and each box contained hundreds of arrows. If they were to be fired at the same time, how many soldiers would be killed?
In addition, the gate of the stronghold was extremely sturdy and was made of pig iron. Even with the siege equipment of the Great Tang, it would not be able to break open the gate even if the soldiers were exhausted to death!
Li Xiuning was dumbfounded when she saw the whole appearance of the knockoff. How was this a knockoff? It was clearly an iron wall!
"Aunt, is this really a mountain bandit stronghold? How did they do it?" Li Lizhi asked in shock.
Li Xiu Ning shook her head in a daze. She couldn't explain it either. These things were completely beyond her understanding.
"Boss is back, open the gate!" Gou 'zi shouted loudly.
When the people on the wall heard this, they shouted," Open the gate!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp sound rang out as the big iron door slowly opened.
Li Xiu Ning stared at the gate, but she couldn't figure out how the gate was opened. However, she was sure that this gate couldn't be opened by human power.
The gate opened, and Lin Chen rode his warhorse and swaggered in.
As soon as they entered the village, thousands of people came forward to welcome them. All of them were cheering." Congratulations on your triumphant return, Chief! Congratulations on your triumphant return!”
Lin Chen looked at the thousands of people who were welcoming him and got off his horse. Then, he said to everyone,"I snatched two wives today.”
"Dear villagers, I'm getting married tonight.”
"The Fort Master is getting married? Haha, that's a joyous occasion!"
"Everyone, get busy and hold a grand wedding for the Fort Master!”
"Good, good! Hurry up and get busy!" The commoners cheered and ran off to get busy.
At this moment, more than ten children came in front of Lin Chen and said in a childish voice,"Congratulations on your marriage, Brother Chief."
Lin Chen laughed and patted the children's heads." Okay, okay. Come to my room later. I'll get lollipops for you. Everyone will have a share. This is wedding candy!”
"Thank you, Brother Chief."
The entire village was filled with joy because of Lin Chen's wedding.
Li Xiuning and Li Lizhi were really depressed.
Li Xiuning gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter." This bastard really wants to marry me as his wife!”
Li Lizhi was on the verge of tears." Auntie, I'm still waiting for my father…father. How can I marry a bandit here?!"”
"Don't panic, Lizhi. I'll find a way to get you out of here.”Li Xiu Ning said firmly.
Now, Li Lizhi had completely lost her focus. She could only pin her hopes on Li Xiu Ning. At the same time, she prayed in her heart that her father would be able to hold on.
When they arrived at the hall of the stronghold, Lin Chen asked everyone to suppress the guards, leaving only Li Xiu Ning and Li Lizhi behind. He swaggered to the main seat.
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and sized up Li Xiu Ning and Li Lizhi. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them.
Since ancient times, heroes loved beauties, and Lin Chen was no exception. He had been single all these years because he had not met anyone who was tempted.
Now that he had encountered it, he naturally would not let it go.
"How is it?" Lin Chen looked at Li Xiu Ning and Li Lizhi and said with a smile,""My village is not bad, right? You won't feel wronged if you become my wife.”
"In the future, we'll live our lives in a down-to-earth manner. Don't have any messy thoughts.”
Li Xiu Ning's beautiful eyes widened and she said coldly,""In your dreams!"
"Shameless bandit, you'd better let us go. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences!”
"Oh?" Lin Chen's lips curled up," I'd like to hear what the consequences are."”
"Do you know who we are?" Li Xiu Ning gritted her teeth and said," We are officials of the imperial court and have important military intelligence. If we delay the important matter, ten of your heads won't be enough to chop off.”
Li Xiu Ning did not reveal her true identity. If outsiders knew that she, the dignified Princess Ping Yang, was captured by bandits, she would lose a lot of face.
Moreover, the war with the Turks was tense, and it was inevitable that there would be Turkic spies in the Great Tang. Li Xiu Ning did not dare to reveal her identity.
" Hehe, since I dare to help you snatch it, I'm not afraid of your identities." Lin Chen smiled.”
"You've seen my city. So what if you're a high-ranking official? Li Er couldn't even open my mountain stronghold when he personally led the army!”
"Besides, Li Er doesn't have time to care about me now.”
Hearing Lin Chen mention that Li Er was trapped, Li Lizhi couldn't help but cry.
Li Lizhi's crying shocked Lin Chen." Hey, what are you doing? I haven't done anything yet. Why are you crying?!"”
"Sob, sob, sob. I miss my father. I'm worried about my father. Please be kind and let me go.”Li Lizhi cried and begged.
Li Xiu Ning felt bad when Li Lizhi cried. The war was too urgent now. If reinforcements didn't arrive, Li Er's life would be in danger.
Thinking of this, Li Xiu Ning gritted her teeth and made a bold decision.
"Thief, I'll make a deal with you. If you let her go, I'll be your wife!”
Li Lizhi was stunned and stopped crying.
"Auntie, you…"
"Stop talking. Saving your father is more important.”Li Xiu Ning stopped Li Lizhi and looked at Lin Chen." What do you think?”
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled evilly." Hehe, you underestimate me. There are two of them. Why should I choose one?"”
"I want both of you!"
