Xiao Lingyue put her dagger against the middle-aged man's neck, looked down with cold eyes, and said nothing.
Suspicion flashed across the middle-aged man's sinister face. He looked at the bandits below and then at the two people beside him.
There was a fierce cold light in his eyes: "You are from the imperial court? You are so brave, you dare to lie to me!"
Of course Xiao Lingyue would not admit it.
She sneered and held the dagger firmly: "Does the leader think I look like me?"
Middle-aged man: "..." He was actually not sure.
After all, judging from his eyesight, Xiao Lingyue didn't look like someone from the imperial court.
The middle-aged man has been a bandit for so many years and has had many dealings with people from the imperial court. He is very confident in his eyesight.
If it were Zhan Beihan...he might still hesitate.
But Zhan Beihan didn't speak from the beginning to the end.
It was Xiao Lingyue who spoke.
Therefore, the middle-aged man hesitated, not knowing whether to trust his own judgment or his brothers.
Xiao Lingyue saw his wavering and sneered: "The village master must know whether I am a member of the imperial court or not! Now that you have fallen into my hands, your people slandered me as a lackey of the imperial court and even took a bunch of
Worthless slaves threaten me..."
She raised the corners of her lips, and her eyes shed an icy cold light, which was more sinister than the dagger in her hand.
"It seems that they don't care about your life or death! In the name of the court, do you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
Xiao Lingyue's words are the real slander.
However, the middle-aged man was kept in the dark and could not tell the truth, so she was temporarily involved.
The middle-aged man subconsciously thought - if she is not from the court, the brothers below insist on it and threaten her with a group of slaves!
If Xiao Lingyue really killed him in a fit of rage, the brothers below could also say that he died at the hands of someone from the imperial court, and they would also have an explanation for other people in the village.
Isn't this killing someone with a borrowed knife?
The middle-aged man's face suddenly changed, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
Xiao Lingyue looked at the change in his expression and said with added jealousy: "Did the leader of the village hear it just now? Someone below is deliberately setting fire to it, inciting your men, regardless of your life or death..."
She raised her lips meaningfully and said with a smile: "It seems that your position as the eldest brother is not very stable! As soon as something happened, there were people who wished you were dead!"
The middle-aged man's expression completely changed.
He already believed these words in his heart, but refused to admit it: "My brothers are all loyal, how could they slander you for no reason!"
Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows: "You have to ask them about this! After all, you are in my hands now. If I am not happy, do you think you are still alive?"
The middle-aged man was shocked and angry.
Xiao Lingyue raised the dagger and said coldly: "I'm here for business. I don't care about the slave's life or death! Since the brothers in Guizhai are so disrespectful, then we have nothing to talk about!"
"Wait... don't be impulsive! Let's talk slowly if you have anything to say, and I'll tell them!"
The middle-aged man was afraid that she would kill him in anger, so he immediately looked down and said sternly: "Quiet!"
The bandits who kept shouting fell silent and looked up at him.
Xiao Lingyue felt relieved.
fine......
This middle-aged man is quite prestigious among the bandits!
As long as you fool him, you won't be afraid of these bandits coming...
Xiao Lingyue's eyes quickly swept over the group of people kneeling on the ground, her expression showing no flaws.
In this confrontation where both sides have chips.
Whoever exposes his or her weakness first will lose!
Therefore, she and Zhan Beihan must not show any importance to these people, and must pretend to have no interest in them and not be threatened by their lives.
Otherwise, once the bandits figure it out, she and Zhan Beihan will be at a disadvantage and be led by the other party.
In the end, instead of being able to save others, you will actually fall into it! Popular 『』 This chapter has been completed!
