PFC Chapter 501 - 139: Making Use of the Last Bit of Value Before Death Isn’t So Bad
Chapter 501 - 139: Making Use of the Last Bit of Value Before Death Isn’t So Bad
With a natural expression, there was not a hint of awkwardness, as if this was how it should be.
Although, for the most part, they were flattering.
But the County Magistrate still revealed some information about the group of water bandits.
The leader of these water bandits is named Lu Yuan, with the cultivation level of a Postnatal Martial Artist.
Originally a bodyguard from an escort agency, he had his eye on the head escort’s wife and attempted to act improperly, but was discovered in time and expelled from the escort agency, eventually arriving at Lishui City.
This Lu Yuan was never one for abiding by rules.
After arriving in Lishui City, he observed for a long time and ultimately chose to become a water bandit, amassing nearly eight hundred underlings.
Although most of them are ordinary people without any cultivation.
But such a number still looks quite daunting.
Plus, with the County Magistrate’s cooperation, Lu Yuan’s group of water bandits quite enjoy their life.
"I see!"
After listening, Ye Liuyun nodded in understanding.
If they were just some people who couldn’t survive, resorting to banditry to live, it might be somewhat understandable.
But this Lu Yuan is clearly different.
He blatantly enjoys pillaging, killing, and robbing, thus becoming a water bandit. Such a person deserves to die.
"Looks like there’s indeed no need to spare these water bandits!"
"Yes, yes, wise sir!"
Upon hearing Ye Liuyun say this, the County Magistrate’s expression filled with joy; it seems he succeeded.
Without thinking more, he immediately nodded with a grin, praising Ye Liuyun.
Meanwhile.
The boat swayed and weaved through the waters, arriving at a section concealed by dense wildgrass.
"Sir, this is the place. The water bandits are gathered here."
It must be said.
This place seemed like a natural, hidden refuge.
Without prior knowledge, no one would ever think so many water bandits could be hiding here from a distance.
Ye Liuyun said nothing more.
He simply gestured for the boat to proceed directly ahead.
The County Magistrate immediately went to the boat captain, directing the boat inward.
In that moment of departure.
Si Nan and others beside him all turned their gaze towards Ye Liuyun.
"Sir!"
They could see clearly that there was definitely something suspicious about this County Magistrate.
They also believed their lord could also see past the County Magistrate’s ploy.
Thus, they said nothing, only quietly watching Ye Liuyun.
"Though he must die, he can still play some role before his end; that’s not too bad either!"
Upon hearing Ye Liuyun say this.
Everyone naturally understood.
This was a plan to squeeze out the last bit of value from the County Magistrate.
Upon realizing this, Si Nan and the others chuckled knowingly.
They had no pity at all for this County Magistrate.
"In this way, it means he can live a little longer!"
While speaking.
The boat was already entering the lake surrounded by wildgrass.
It could be seen that a place like a village was specially erected within this water body, for the daily lives of these water bandits.
However.
Looking at the village ahead, Ye Liuyun indeed frowned slightly.
With a wave of his hand.
Si Nan and others beside him leaped simultaneously, charging towards the village.
"Hiss!"
The County Magistrate was evidently surprised, realizing that not only Ye Liuyun was formidable, but even his subordinates were each extraordinarily skilled.
Luckily he acted cautiously, without doing anything untoward.
Now all he had to do was wait for Ye Liuyun’s men to handle these water bandits!
Thinking of this.
The County Magistrate felt inexplicably relieved.
He seemed to rejoice in his wit.
"Sir!"
Soon.
Si Nan and the others returned.
"No one!"
"There isn’t a single person in the village!"
Originally, he was already planning ways to make money once these water bandits were gone.
Upon suddenly hearing this, the County Magistrate was momentarily stunned, then spoke directly.
"That’s impossible!"
This place is not unfamiliar to him; if the water bandits aren’t here, where else would they go?
Seeing Si Nan and others’ gazes start to turn towards him.
As if suspecting him of leading them astray.
The County Magistrate hurriedly exclaimed with a wronged expression.
"Sir, I truly don’t know, those water bandits should be here, and I don’t know why they’re not!"
At this point.
The County Magistrate should be the most eager to rid these water bandits, making it unlikely he’d lead them astray.
",,,"
Ye Liuyun kept silent.
His gaze swept around, finally fixing on a direction.
"How daring!"
Leaving people here on guard, truly thinking they wouldn’t be discovered?
"???"
Suddenly hearing Ye Liuyun say this, everyone was puzzled, not understanding his meaning.
But just then.
Ye Liuyun raised a hand, aiming at a water area full of wild grass.
"Buzz!"
The buzzing sound erupted, a massive wave of Inner Strength burst from Ye Liuyun’s hand.
The wild grass surrounding that water area was instantly shattered.
Simultaneously, a slender figure appeared at that moment.
"Sir, he’s also a water bandit, I’ve seen him before!"
Upon seeing the figure, the County Magistrate immediately exclaimed with joy.
Clearly, he had seen this slender figure among Lu Yuan’s water bandits before.
The figure, upon realizing he was exposed, instantly chose to turn and flee, diving into the water; being a water bandit, they naturally excel in swimming.
