”Say what you said again.”

When she thought that her little life would be lost here, the bandit leader suddenly stretched out his sword and let out a cold shout.

The sharp sword cut through the skin of her throat, causing her to feel a slight pain. She slightly wrinkled her delicate eyebrows, holding her breath and not pushing it out. Large drops of sweat flowed down from her forehead and chin, but she didn't say a word as she stared at the man with rapt attention.

”Tell me, why did she leave me?”

The bandit leader's emotions seemed to become even more violent as he glared at her. He forcibly brought his sword closer to her neck. If she didn't speak now, he would definitely take her life.

”You … Can you put down the sword in your hand first? Do you think I'm afraid of you doing this? ”

Shangguan Jingyan mustered up his courage and turned his neck away from the sharp sword with a cold aura, and asked carefully.

However, just as she finished her sentence, the bandit leader suddenly raised his sharp sword and chopped towards her. A cold and sharp sword Qi floated across her face, and a few strands of hair were cut off mercilessly by the sharp sword.

She thought that she would definitely die this time. She tightly shut her eyes, waiting for the call of death.

”Now, at least you can speak!”

The bandit leader's words once again roused her eyes, only to find that the thick rope in her hands and feet had already been cut off. So he was just helping her to untie them just now.

Her hands and feet were moving, and she quickly stretched out her hands, stretching her stiff arms. He secretly surveyed his surroundings and thought about how he could escape while he wasn't bothered.

”You'd better be obedient and not have any bad ideas. I can catch you the first time, and I can catch you the second. Your sweetheart has probably abandoned you long ago. She has been lost in that playworld of Luoyang City for a long time, how could she possibly remember you. Love, ah, is so unfair, so laughable. ”

The color in Shangguan Jingyan's eyes dimmed when he heard this, and his body was paralyzed on the ground. He didn't have much confidence in Dongfang Chen, so he wondered how he was doing. Would he come to save her?

A look of disdain flashed across the bandit leader's face when he saw her expression. He had thought that the woman in front of him would give her a different kind of surprise. Unexpectedly, he was disappointed. All the women in the world were the same.

Shangguan Jingyan didn't know that his current little movements would cause him to miss a chance to be free, and remain lost in his grief.

”How is it? There's nothing left to say! ”

The bandit leader's black eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, and a hint of killing intent quickly replaced it. He hated women who toyed with the thoughts of others the most, he deserved death.

One had to know that after setting up the village for a few years, there were at least several hundred young girls that were robbed. He actually did not take any notice of any of them, and in the end, they were all killed by his sword, becoming ghosts.

It was only because they looked down on him and hurt him with evil words that they personally lost their lives.

He had originally thought that this would be an accident, but he didn't expect that it would still disappoint him.

”Wait a minute, don't you want to know why she left you?”

Shangguan Jingyan saw the man in front of her suddenly turn hostile, the sharp sword shot towards her like a knife through bamboo, she quickly spoke out to stop him.

The bandit leader hurriedly retracted his sword when he heard this, but the sword Qi was too fierce. The instant he retracted it, the sharp sword cut through his red wedding dress, causing blood to flow out uncontrollably.

Perhaps, in his heart, he did not truly want Shangguan Jingyan's life, because the temperament that she possessed was very similar to the temperament of the woman he loved.

”You're bleeding.”

Shangguan Jingyan ignored the fear in his heart, took out the pure white silk handkerchief from his bosom, and carefully held it over his injured shoulder.

The night was chilly, and at this moment, the entire mountain stronghold was completely silent. It was frighteningly quiet.

Only the best new house in the village was brightly lit, the candlelight flickering in the breeze. From time to time, the crisp sound of a woman's voice could be heard.

Inside the house, Shangguan Jingyan was inculcating all kinds of strange things like equality between men and women, wealth and equality between men and women that he had heard from Bai Zhixi.

She had thought that she would be like a common bandit, unskilled and merciless. But after knowing what had happened to him, her heart inexplicably pitied him.

Feeling sad, he finished the wedding wine in one gulp and said all the words he had hidden in his heart. He had actually found a common topic with Xiang Tian.

Promise her to the heavens that if Dongfang Chen and his men come to save her at daybreak, he would let them go. And he shall dissolve this bandit's nest, and shall no longer slay the people.

Hearing his words, Shangguan Jingyan was ecstatic. This way, when Dongfang Chen ascends to the throne, he would work harder.

After that, they shared similar interests and talked about the ideal of life. She didn't want to change her understanding of bandits towards the ends of the world.

Xiang Tian was a very ambitious person. If it wasn't for the girl abandoning him that year, and the girl's father killing his entire family, he wouldn't have fallen to the level of a bandit and become a hero.

She actually felt a sense of attachment to him.
