Chapter 228 Xue Bufan Takes Control of the Yamen Guards
The constable was so frightened that his brain went blank, and he didn't have time to react at all.
Just when he thought he was about to die by the sword, he found himself unharmed.
"I'm giving you one chance. Speak now! Otherwise, I'll send you to see He Liang immediately!"
The constable was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and quickly explained, "Commander Xue, we really don't know what our leader is planning to do, but I do know that there is indeed a village ahead, and this road is indeed the closest to the next prefectural city."
"I really don't know anything else!"
Xue Bufan frowned deeply, his gaze sweeping over the other constables.
The other constables immediately echoed the man's words, offering similar explanations.
'Did I kill the only person who knew the truth?' Xue Bufan wondered.
He didn't believe that among so many yamen runners, only He Liang knew the purpose.
"Who else knows anything!"
Xue Bufan suddenly changed the direction of his sword and stabbed at the yamen runner who he thought was close to He Liang.
The constable, unaware of why Xue Bufan had suddenly targeted him, turned and tried to run away.
But he was no match for Xue Bufan. He kicked the man to the ground and held his sword to the man's neck.
The man was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"It seems you do know something. Speak up, and I, the commander, will spare your life." Xue Bufan's patience ran out, and his tone became fierce.
"I...I...I only know that He Liang is going to take you to that village. I've been to that village before, and there were a lot of people there. I didn't notice anything else. I really don't know anything else."
"Did Prefect Zhou Hao give you any instructions? Otherwise, why did you only bring such a small amount of food?" Xue Bufan pressed.
Mu Wanjun hid to the side, listening intently.
“There’s food in that village. He Liang said we’ll go there to resupply later…”
"Does anyone know the way to that village? Lead the way."
Xue Bufan sheathed his sword and swept his sharp gaze across the constables.
The constable who knew the way stepped forward somewhat nervously, fearing that he too would be suddenly attacked.
"Lead the way," Xue Bufan gestured. "Don't forget to bring He Liang's body with you."
Several constables who were on good terms with He Liang immediately went to carry the body away.
In the blink of an eye.
Xue Bufan then took control of the entire Yunzhou government service team.
He hadn't made a move until now, because he wanted to observe what these constables were planning to do.
But he was worried that things would get out of control, so he seized power directly.
"Rest here for fifteen minutes, then set off," Xue Bufan ordered. "I want to see what kind of tricks that village is hiding!"
Seeing this, Mu Wanjun breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It's much better for the yamen runners to be under Xue Bufan's control than to be controlled by strangers.
The Su family followed closely behind.
There's something going on with the group in front of us.
Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai immediately put down their things and secretly approached to eavesdrop.
Unexpectedly, these constables really had something to hide.
They were actually going to take them to a mysterious village.
Then the Su family definitely can't enter the village; otherwise, it would be troublesome if they encountered something uncontrollable.
at this time.
Two wild animal roars reached everyone's ears.
All the prisoners flinched in fear.
But the eyes of the Su family members and the yamen runners all lit up!
That's the roar of a bear and the roar of a tiger!
Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai, father and daughter, immediately exchanged a glance, eager to try: "Dad! We have a big one!"
Su Yunhai's eyes lit up: "We have to get our hands on it!"
"Those constables need to move out too, Father. You should go back and give instructions to Xuan Guang and the Silver Armor Guards to protect everyone before they come to my aid!"
"Okay, be careful!"
Su Yunhai immediately returned to the team to explain the situation.
Shen Shuli had already darted more than ten meters away.
Among the yamen runners.
Most of them were instinctively afraid of wild animals in the mountains, but they quickly rallied.
They are no longer one person, but more than fifty agile constables.
With so many people, they naturally wouldn't be afraid of two wild beasts in the mountains.
Xue Bufan had already discerned that the wild beasts were a bear and a tiger.
Mountain tigers and bears are rare and precious delicacies, and Xue Bufan was deeply tempted.
He selected ten constables: "You few come with me, the rest of you stay here and guard the prisoners."
Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai have arrived at the place where wild beasts are fighting.
"The tiger is pregnant; it looks like she can't beat this brown bear!" Shen Shuli observed keenly.
"How are you going to handle this? Use a sniper rifle or just go straight for it?" Su Yunhai looked at the two ferocious beasts, eager to try.
Shen Shuli originally intended to kill both wild beasts and store them in her spatial storage, but she suddenly changed her mind after seeing the pregnant tigress.
"Dad, I want to try to see if I can directly put them into my space. I've never kept any wild beasts in my space before, and besides, that tiger is about to give birth. I guess it will have a few tiger cubs for us to pet."
Su Yunhai never thought of raising wild beasts because he didn't have the space; his first thought was to kill and eat them.
However, the thought that my daughter could secretly keep these wild animals in her private space made it seem like a pretty good idea.
"That's a good idea. Hurry up before anyone comes," Su Yunhai urged.
"it is good!"
Shen Shuli immediately approached the two wild beasts.
The tigress was already at a disadvantage and was slapped to the ground by the bear's paw.
Shen Shuli looked very worried, afraid that the baby tiger in the mother tiger's belly would be lost!
She quickened her pace to approach the mother tiger.
The tigress was already weak, but she still used all her strength to roll over and get up, watching the brown bear warily.
Shen Shuli was right behind it and could see blood oozing from its buttocks.
Within the limits of the space's reception range, she immediately attempted to bring the mother tiger into the space.
"Whoosh!"
The mother tiger vanished instantly.
Shen Shuli breathed a slight sigh of relief, then quickly entered the space with her consciousness, placed the mother tiger on the open ground by the grain field, gave her a large bucket of diluted spiritual spring water, and then quickly exited the space.
The brown bear was about to strike the tigress while she was weakened when he suddenly realized she had vanished.
Instead, a human little girl appeared.
Startled, it tried to pull itself back, but it had already lunged forward, its limbs kicking wildly in the air in an attempt to slow down.
Shen Shuli hadn't expected the brown bear to be so huge; it pounced on her in a massive, overwhelming manner.
She quickly tried to bring the brown bear into the space as well.
After seeing the brown bear disappear into the air, Shen Shuli breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that it succeeded.
Shen Shuli tried to enter the space herself, but unfortunately she still couldn't do it.
"It seems that the space can only accept living things other than humans for the time being," Shen Shuli said helplessly.
I'm worried that the two beasts might fight in the space.
Shen Shuli placed the brown bear at the very edge of the ranch and drove all the livestock in the space to the other side.
The tigress suddenly realized she had been moved to a different place, and was so frightened that her fur stood on end as she warily stared at her surroundings.
After finding no brown bears around and their scent, they gradually relaxed their guard.
Smelling a pleasant aroma nearby, it cautiously took a sip, and its somewhat dim eyes instantly brightened.
After taking a few more sips, I found that my wounds and stomach didn't hurt as much, so I tried even harder to show off.
I'd only drunk half of it.
It suddenly caught the scent of a brown bear and immediately stared warily in the direction from which the scent was coming.
