Starting in Exile: Transmigrated as the Crown Prince's Lucky Little Wife

Chapter 21 Gu Liuli is about to take action and wipe out the bandits.

Mu Yu, Gu Liuli, and their group arrived at the Snow Mountain Peak, the bandits' lair, in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

Ever since the mission failed that day, Wu Zhong, Pei Ziye, and the other leaders had been worried that Qiangwei would come back to settle scores with them.

"Brother, what do we do now?" Pei Ziye asked, looking worried and troubled.

A group of bandits stood there, some even carrying wounded men.

Wu Zhong, the second-in-command, picked up the wine jar with a "gulp!" and took a mouthful of wine.

"Alright, second brother, you're still injured, are you out of your mind!" Lu Huaichuan snatched the wine from his hand.

Gu Liuli's weapon was truly formidable; it could hit targets from such a distance, making the bandits present extremely envious. If they could seize that weapon, what would they do...?

Wu Zhong had lost his former dashing demeanor and looked like a treacherous minister. He had become decadent and gloomy, and overnight his face was covered with a full beard, making him look more than ten years older.

"Big brother, don't worry about me. I'm already a cripple. The doctor said this leg is useless from now on!"

The bandits all spoke up: "Boss, if it doesn't work, let's go again and steal that woman and her weapons!"

Lu Huaijing and Pei Ziye exchanged glances, their eyes conveying to each other that this woman was not as simple as she appeared, and that they were no match for her.

They planned to deal with Rose first, but they were overthinking it. After Hou Deming returned to the city, he reported the matter directly to his master. Rose naturally knew the outcome of the matter. For them, the bandits were just a few dozen pawns. It would be best if they could complete the mission. If they couldn't, they would be useless pawns. They would just be wasting some money.

"Heh! You want to steal my weapon? Well, you'll have to see if you're capable!" The person was not seen, but the voice was heard.

Startled by the sudden, delicate shout, the bandits turned to look. However, they saw not a soul in sight!

“Since you’re here, young lady, why not step forward!” As the leader of the mountain stronghold, Lu Huaichuan was the first to step forward.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Gu Liuli and the others suddenly appeared in the courtyard of their hideout.

She was dressed in prison clothes, with a beautiful face, but exuding a cold and sharp aura.

Especially her beautiful eyes, which shone with a captivating light like cold stars, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at them.

The bandits immediately felt a sense of oppression.

Lu Huaichuan was tall and strong, with a full beard, and looked quite imposing.

At this moment, although he tried to appear calm, he was also somewhat surprised by the appearance of the rumored Crown Princess.

The entire stronghold was heavily fortified, with lookouts outside. The fact that they could easily evade them proves that their martial arts skills were definitely not low.

"Heh!" Gu Liuli didn't waste any words and directly stated the purpose of their visit.

"I'm here today to give you two choices: first, obediently listen to me and follow my instructions!"

As soon as Gu Liuli finished speaking, a bandit stepped forward and pointed a knife at her: "Who the hell do you think you are! You want me to listen to you! Why can't that crippled, useless crown prince satisfy you?"

Mu Yu held a glowing sword in his hand, his eyes sharp, a murderous glint in them.

As soon as the bandit finished speaking, the other bandits burst into laughter.

"Ha ha!"

Some of the bandits, unafraid of death, even uttered arrogant words: "Young lady, why don't you serve us well, and we might spare your crippled husband's life!"

The smile on Gu Liuli's lips didn't reach her eyes; it seemed she was going to fail to complete the task assigned to her by the system.

Mu Zetian was furious, his eyes filled with hatred: "You bandits deserve to die! You've committed countless atrocities, burning, killing, and looting! You should repent properly when you get down here!"

Pei Ziye glanced at Mu Zetian and immediately recognized him: "Brother, isn't this the Great General who once attacked us? You used to admire him! Now, today, his soul remains in our mountain stronghold!"

Mu Yu and Pei Ziye started fighting using their martial arts. When the other bandits saw their leader make a move, they all began to stab at each other with their sharp knives.

On the other side, Zhao Hu had already heard the commotion among the exiled people. He restrained a soldier next to him, as they were no match for Gu Liuli and the others. He also noticed that the servant who followed Xiao Jingchuan was no ordinary person either.

Moreover, having taken the poison given to them by Gu Liuli, they dared not act rashly and could only hope that Hou Deming could send them a message as soon as possible.

Xiao Jingchuan slightly raised his hand, gesturing to Xuanhuo beside him, "Take me to that secluded grove." Xuanhuo nodded in understanding and carefully pushed his master toward the grove.

This grove of trees is far from the hustle and bustle, quiet and peaceful.

The faint moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows, while a gentle breeze rustled the branches and leaves.

Xiao Jingchuan arrived at a clearing in the middle of the woods, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes.

Xuanhuo thought her master needed to use the restroom and was about to help when suddenly her eyes widened.

Xiao Jingchuan's body trembled slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he actually... stood up!

This is undoubtedly a mysterious surprise!

"Your Highness, you...you...you've stood up!" Xuan Huo was happy, but he knew he had to control his voice.

Xiao Jingchuan smiled slightly. Although he couldn't hide his excitement, he remained calm.

"Xuanhuo, don't get agitated. I was healed by the Crown Princess and I was able to stand up a long time ago. It's just that I had to resort to this tactic to cover my tracks!" Xiao Jingchuan's voice was firm and clear, as if telling Xuanhuo that none of this was a coincidence, but that his Crown Princess had saved him.

Xiao Jingchuan took a deep breath and adjusted his posture.

He knew that to truly master his body, he needed not only strength, but also flexibility and balance.

He began to move slowly, each step showing extreme caution, yet full of strength.

"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured, from now on, if the Crown Princess tells me to go east, I will never go west!" Xuan Huo suppressed his joy, but his words were still filled with excitement.

Only he knew that the situation at the time was not like that at all, but rather that someone had deliberately fabricated the order by His Highness.

As time went by, Xiao Jingchuan quickly adapted. He slowly tried new and complex movements, from walking upright to turning around, from slow walking to fast walking. Each success boosted his confidence.

"Your Highness, is your poison the same?" Xuan Huo looked around warily, making sure no one asked the question he wanted to ask.

Xiao Jingchuan shook his head, his voice low, but his tone was indeed like a spring breeze.

"Let's go! Go find the Crown Princess!" After saying that, Xiao Jingchuan and Xuan Huo used their lightness skills to leave.
