2323 Cannot Let Them Go
At this thought, the leader felt glum.
Who did he provoke? How come this misfortune had to befall him?
When they were hiding in the forest earlier, these people clearly looked like pretty boys without any means of defense.
Moreover, their group of nine were escorting a carriage. From their “accurate and precise” judgement, they inferred that Crown Prince Mo’s group was a cash cow awaiting slaughter.
!!
Yet the moment they acted, the situation did not seem to be what they had imagined.
Additionally, the situation had veered into the worst direction possible!
“Where are you refugees from?” Qiao Mu turned to ask curiosuly.
These refugees were too gutsy!
With this amount of ability, they still dared to resolve to banditry.
“The Cai-Caihua Town nearby.” One woman wailed regretfully while immoblized, “M-Miss, please let us go! We will definitely leave this place in the future and mend our ways. We will not think of robbing again.”
“You cannot let them go!” The voice of a stranger called out.
A team of twenty plus people swiftly ran out from beyond the mountainous path. The leader was a tall and large middle-aged man with a dense beard. From a glance, he looked like a caveman…
“Young Sir, Miss, are you all alright?” The bushy beard cupped his fists toward Mo Lian and looked them over.
Seeing that they looked fine, he nodded and explained, “Young Sir may not know, but this group of refugee bandits have been skirting about the perimeter of the Eight Barren Mountains. They have beaten or killed more than ten merchants!”
“This humble one is Cangfeng Mercenary Group’s Wang Lu! I accepted this mission to capture these refugees in South City, so if these young sirs and young lady will allow me to take over from here.” The middle-aged bushy beard cupped his hands again and said sincerely, “These people have committed heinous crimes, and they have claimed multiple lives.”
“No, that’s not true. What he says isn’t true at all! Miss, Miss, we are only refugees who have been forced to migrate here. We did not commit any atrocious deeds!” The sobbing woman started screeching. However, as she could not move at all, her facial muscles were only twitching as she screeched. Her expression looked somewhat contorted.
“This mission can be checked in the mercernary hall. This is the truth, and this humble one has not fabricated any lies.” The bushy beard spoke righteously, “If Miss does not believe me, you can come with us to the mercenary hall to check when we pass by South City.”
“This mission was issued by a victim, who is a merchant of South City. Besides our Cangfeng Mercenary Group, many other mercenary groups were clamoring to accept this mission.” Wang Lu did not hide anything and filled in Mo Lian and Qiao Mu.
The mercenary group’s assistant commander rubbed his head in exasperation.
Their big bro was still like this. Since he said that it was for a mission, it would be right and proper if the other party wanted to get some benefits out of their mercenary group.
After all, their mercenary group was not the ones who captured this bunch of refugees.
Of course, their mercenary group naturally had this ability to take down this bunch of refugees. It was just that they did not encounter the other party first.
Qiao Mu blinked and then shot out a silver needle to seal that woman’s wailing voice. “Noisy!”
Cangfeng Mercenary Group’s commander, Wang Lu, looked at that group of refugees again in shock.
