Chapter 368

Mu Nanfeng originally wanted to tease the great beauty in front of him whom he had never seen before, but was scared back two steps by the chill emanating from her eyes. He raised his thick, dark eyebrows, pretended to be calm and angrily said, "What are you looking at, little lady? Haven't you seen a bandit before?"

Then he stroked his chin again and laughed out loud with his men behind him, "I guess delicate young ladies like you have definitely not seen people like us. How is it, today I will let you gain experience!"

Fear comes from the unknown.

Now that she knew Mu Nanfeng’s identity, Gu Ying was no longer afraid.

She coldly hooked the corners of her lips, without any panic, with the calmness of Mount Tai collapsing in front of her without moving, "Do you know who I am?"

Mu Nanfeng's eyes wandered down her belly, "I was just wondering, little beauty who are you?"

Gu Ying said calmly, "The wife of the heir of Zhenguo Duke Manor, Gu Ying."

Upon hearing the title of the heir of Zhenguo Duke Manor, Mu Nanfeng's eyebrows wrinkled into a ball in a ridiculous way, and he subconsciously shrank back a bit.

In Bianjing, everyone knew the reputation of Zhao Changdu. He was the killing god who killed all the way to the Huo family when he was only fifteen. Of course, Mu Nanfeng was also afraid of him. He just didn't expect that today he only came to rob the young ladies of Dongping Earl Manor, but ended up robbing the wife of the killing god.

But things had already happened. Even if he didn't do it on purpose, in Zhao Changdu’s eyes, he was probably already at fault. In that case, it would be better to take both of them and ask for a large ransom to flee to the border and rebuild the stockade!

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Ying's expression was cold. She gently opened her lips and said, "Who sent you to rob us?"

Mu Nanfeng grinned, "What do you care who sent us? Today neither you nor the one surnamed Gu in the carriage can leave!"

"Come on--"

Gu Ying looked at him steadily and interrupted him, "So you didn't come to kill us, you must have come for the money, right?"

Mu Nanfeng was silenced for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Not bad for the wife of the heir! Interesting! Someone offered fifty thousand taels of silver for Gu Shuang's life. I came to take her away. If you know what’s good for you, you can leave now. I can let you go for Zhao Heir’s sake." Gu Ying said, "I won't leave."

Mu Nanfeng raised his eyebrows, his eyes falling on her bulging belly, and suddenly felt a little troublesome.

If Gu Ying was a helpless beauty, he would be happy to take her back to the stockade to be the stockade mistress. But she was backed by a Zhao Changdu, and apparently, she was also carrying Zhao Changdu’s child in her belly. If something really happened to cause one dead and two lives... Not to mention his cheap life, I'm afraid even Qingfeng Stockade would be razed to the ground by Zhao Changdu.

There were a bunch of useless officials in Bianjing, but Zhao Changdu was different from those officials who just occupy their position to eat and drink.

Mu Nanfeng was not stupid. He hesitated for a while.

Seeing his fear of the heir, Gu Ying smiled and said lightly, "I’ll give you one hundred thousand taels to let me and my sister go, and I won’t let the heir blame you afterwards."

When the three words one hundred thousand taels came out, the other bandits got excited.

"Boss, boss, that's one hundred thousand taels!"

"We can eat for ten years with this ticket!"

Mu Nanfeng squinted, one hundred thousand taels of silver ingots were still a bit tempting, "Why should I believe you?"

Gu Ying said lightly, "If you don't believe me, you can let my maid go back and get the money. We can exchange money and people at the same time. Besides, I can see that you don't want to kill us, you just want money. In that case, isn't the temptation of one hundred thousand taels greater than that of fifty thousand taels?"

Mu Nanfeng hesitated for a moment, frowning and whispering with the other bandits.

Mu Nanfeng was an extremely evil murderer who had caused harm in Dongli for many years and didn't know how many lives were behind him.

Gu Ying didn't have full confidence, she could only gamble with him and gamble that he needed money.

She didn't rush him either. She turned around and went back to the carriage to see Gu Shuang's injury.

Inside the carriage, Gu Shuang's small face was ghastly white. She carefully looked at Mu Nanfeng's mighty back, and her eyes turned red just by looking at the man's sturdy back.

She had been living a smooth life and was well protected by Lady Zhao. She had never seen such a scene before, let alone stayed with so many ferocious men. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. There were tears of grievance clinging to her eyelashes, "Sister... did they come for me?"

"Don't worry, your sister is here. Nothing will happen to you." Gu Ying said with sadness, pressing her lips together.

In her previous life, Gu Shuang must have suffered a lot from marrying such a vicious man. In this life, she must not let her have anything to do with Mu Nanfeng again. She secretly made up her mind that now she was pregnant, she couldn't fight hard with Mu Nanfeng either. No matter what, she had to stay with Gu Shuang to respond at any time.

After a while, Mu Nanfeng turned around again, staring coldly at Gu Ying, "Okay, I agree with you."

He pointed at Yin Lan with a knife, "Let her go back to get the money. You and the fourth young lady of the Gu family will come with us."

When Mu Nanfeng said the four words "the fourth young lady of the Gu family", Gu Ying's eyebrows jumped. There was some inexplicable panic in her heart.

Lady Liu was dead, a man who would never intersect with Gu Shuang in this life again. Why would he suddenly appear in Bianjing City?

And specifically target Gu Shuang?

Gu Shuang was so scared that her whole body trembled. The wound on her shoulder was extremely painful. She didn't dare to look at Mu Nanfeng, she just cried silently, not daring to scream loudly.

Yin Lan's legs went soft as she stood up, and looked up at Gu Ying, "Madam..."

Gu Ying's expression was calm. She nodded, "Listen to him, Yin Lan. Don't go back to the Duke Manor, go to my uncle's house to get the money order. Remember, don't let the heir know anything."

Yin Lan pursed her lips, "Madam, then this slave will leave first..."

Gu Ying smiled calmly, "Go on, don't worry, Village Chief Mu won't hurt me."

Yin Lan walked to the alley with her legs trembling, forced by two little bandits.

Hearing that Yin Lan would not go back to the Duke Manor, but go to the Ye family, Mu Nanfeng nodded satisfied, "You know what's good for you. Zhao Changdu’s woman is extraordinary as expected, calm enough, strong enough, and sensible enough. Since Madam Zhao is so sincere, I will spare your sister’s life."

Gu Ying glanced at him expressionlessly, helped the weak Gu Shuang up, "Let's go."

...

In less than two hours, Gu Ying and Gu Shuang were taken by these bandits to a mountain stockade that could not be named.

It had to be said that Mu Nanfeng was still capable. He was actually able to kidnap people directly under the emperor's nose without the city garrison noticing.

Gu Ying laughed bitterly. All the way she had been trying to get people to discover her and Gu Shuang, but no one could help.

By the time she arrived in the mountains, the sky was already pitch black.

Perhaps because of her identity as the wife of the heir of the Duke Manor, Mu Nanfeng did not dare to neglect her, but locked her and Gu Shuang in a room that was still relatively good.

The room door slammed shut, and someone locked it from the outside.
