Chapter 106: Capture the Bandit Leader and Send Out to Black Wind Ridge

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liao squeezed his horse's belly hard and continued to gallop forward.

Soon, they came to a valley. Both sides of the valley were rocky and overgrown with weeds. It was a dangerous terrain where one man could block the passage of ten thousand.

"finally reached."

Zhang Liao rode ahead and rushed into the valley with several personal soldiers.

Hu~

When they reached a relatively flat area at the bottom of the valley, Zhang Liao stopped his horse, dismounted, and said to the soldiers behind him: "His Highness has ordered us to abandon the carriage and follow me."

"promise."

Although the personal soldiers were confused, they carried out the order without hesitation, left the carriage where it was, and followed Zhang Liao into the depths of the valley.

And at this time.

The bandits who were chasing after them have also arrived.

"Hahaha, let's see where you can run!"

The bandit leader had a smug look on his face. He waved his hand and surrounded the carriage with his men.

"Open it and see what treasures are inside!"

A bandit jumped off his horse impatiently, ran to the carriage and pulled open the curtain.

"Crash-"

As the curtain of the carriage was lifted, the bandits saw a carriage full of jewels.

"Oh my goodness, so many jewels!"

"Get rich, get rich!"

The bandits were immediately excited, their eyes turned red, and they couldn't wait to pounce on the jewels and take them for themselves.

"Don't move, these are all mine!"

The bandit leader roared, and finally the situation was calmed down.

He walked to the front of the carriage, picked up a gem, and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes.

"what?"

The bandit leader suddenly exclaimed, with a puzzled look on his face, "Why does this gem look so familiar?"

He read it over and over again, and suddenly, as if he remembered something, his face changed drastically.

"Isn't this the jewelry that we from Black Wind Ridge gave to the Seventh Prince? Why is it here?!"

The bandit leader cried out in surprise, and the gem in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

The surrounding bandits were also stunned and looked at each other, not understanding why their leader had lost his composure like this.

"No, I fell into a trap!"

The bandit leader was indeed a veteran and he reacted quickly, his face suddenly turning ugly.

"Get out!"

The bandit leader roared and turned around to escape.

However, it was too late.

"Want to leave? It's too late!"

A sneer came from above the valley, and countless soldiers appeared densely on the hillsides on both sides, surrounding the entire valley.

These soldiers were wearing black armor, holding shining swords and spears, and were filled with murderous intent. They were the elite troops under Chu Yang's command!

Chu Yang, wearing silver armor and riding a tall horse, stood on the hillside, looking at the bandits in the valley with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

"How could this be?"

The bandit leader's face turned pale. He knew that he was completely doomed this time.

"Your Highness, how should we deal with these bandits?"

Zhang Liao rode up to Chu Yang and asked with a fist salute.

"Leave no one behind."

Chu Yang's tone was cold, and murderous intent was revealed in his eyes.

"promise!"

Zhang Liao took the order, turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Your Highness has ordered that all of them be killed without mercy!"

"kill!"

The deafening shouts of killing resounded throughout the valley, and the soldiers rushed towards the bandits like tigers descending from the mountains.

Although the bandits were numerous, they were powerless against the well-trained elite soldiers under Chu Yang and were quickly defeated.

The valley was dyed red with blood and screams were heard everywhere.

Chu Yang watched this scene coldly, without any expression on his face.

These bandits commit many evil deeds and oppress the people on a daily basis. They deserved to have died long ago!

"Report——"

A soldier ran to Chu Yang, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Your Highness, the bandit leader has been captured alive!"

"Bring it up."

"promise!"

The soldier took the order and turned away. A moment later, he brought the bandit leader, whose face was bruised and swollen, to Chu Yang.

"Seventh Prince, please spare my life! Seventh Prince, please spare my life!"

The bandit leader fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed and begged bitterly.

"Mercy? Have you ever thought about forgiving those innocent people you killed?"

Chu Yang looked down at him, his tone was icy cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.

Upon hearing this, the bandit leader was so frightened that he knew he had no chance of escaping today.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life. I am willing to make amends for my crime and serve Your Highness at my whim!"

In order to save his life, the bandit leader ignored his dignity and begged bitterly.

"Oh? How are you going to make amends for your crime?"

Chu Yang looked at him with a half-smile and asked.

Upon hearing this, the bandit leader felt a glimmer of hope and quickly said, "I know there is a secret passage in Black Wind Ridge that leads directly to the outside of the village. I can lead your army through the secret passage and kill them by surprise!"

"Hahaha……"

Chu Yang suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter full of ridicule and disdain.

"Do you think I will believe your lies?"

"Your Highness, I know what I said is true. If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

The bandit leader said with a solemn oath.

"is it?"

Chu Yang raised his lips in a playful manner, "In that case, please lead the way."

"This……"

The bandit leader was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Chu Yang to actually agree.

"What? You don't want to?"

Chu Yang looked at him coldly and asked.

"No, no, I do, I do!"

The bandit leader said hurriedly, fearing that Chu Yang would go back on his word.

"Let's go then."

Chu Yang waved his hand, signaling the bandit leader to lead the way.

The bandit leader did not dare to delay and quickly got up, leading the way in the direction of Black Wind Ridge.

Chu Yang rode on a horse and followed behind with a large army, a playful smile on his face.

He wanted to see what tricks this bandit leader was playing.

along the way.

The bandit leader kept looking back, observing Chu Yang's expression, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

"I say, don't dilly-dally, kid. Is there a secret passage? If you take the wrong path, watch out for your head!"

Zhang Liao rode his horse beside Chu Yang, and seeing the bandit leader cowering, he couldn't help but curse.

The bandit leader was so frightened that he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, how dare I deceive you gentlemen? There is a hidden cave not far ahead. That is the entrance to the secret passage leading to Black Wind Ridge!"

"Huh, that's best!"

Zhang Liao snorted coldly and ignored him, just vigilantly observing the movements around him.

however.

Just after everyone arrived near Black Wind Ridge, they found several teams of soldiers appeared in Chu Yang's field of vision.

These officers and soldiers were all dressed in bright clothes and in high spirits. They were obviously a well-trained elite force.

"Your Highness, there seems to be someone ahead."

Zhang Liao rode his horse to Chu Yang's side and spoke in a low voice.
