Chapter 229 Spare my life
The bandits pounced on the women like hungry wolves. Xiao Zhixue had sharp eyes and recognized Long Fei's identity at a glance. She then dealt with the current enemy cleanly and neatly, and walked straight towards Long Fei.
Upon seeing this, Gao Meng quickly swung his sword to attack, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhixue to use a whip instead of a sword and broke his wrist in one move. He screamed in pain and the sword fell out of his hand.
Long Fei was amazed at the skills displayed by the young woman. He was furious and swung his sword wildly.
Xiao Zhixue was agile and easily avoided the attack. She counter-kicked and hit Long Fei in the abdomen, sending him flying. Long Fei fell heavily on the snow.
Just as he was struggling to get up, his neck was tightly wrapped with a tough leather whip. Xiao Zhixue pulled it gently, and Long Fei felt the pain of suffocation. The world in front of him began to spin.
As the leader of a village, Long Fei once thought that he could easily conquer these invading women and make them his playthings.
Unexpectedly, he was defeated by a woman in the end. This ironic fate made him furious. He tried desperately to break free from the restraints on his neck, but the whip kept tightening, making it difficult for him to breathe. A low roar came from his throat, like a trapped beast, desperate and helpless.
Xiao Zhixue strode with her chest out, and every step seemed to be stepping on Long Fei's heart. She stood on a protruding rock, and the height made her momentum even more imposing.
The sunlight shone on her, casting a layer of silver light on her cold eyes, as if she was an ice and snow goddess from the sky, looking down indifferently at the mundane things below her feet.
"Tell all your men to stop," she said with unquestionable determination, "Otherwise, I will end your evil fate with my own hands and send you to hell!"
Long Fei felt dizzy. If he didn't compromise at this moment, his life, which had been domineering for many years, would probably be ruined by this seemingly weak but actually strong woman.
At the moment of life and death, Long Fei had to lower his proud head, his tone full of helplessness and pleading, "Okay, I will ask them to stop right now, I only ask you to have mercy on me and spare my life."
However, the whip in Xiao Zhixue's hand was still taut. Her face was as cold as ice and her eyes were as sharp as blades, fixed tightly on Long Fei who was struggling in pain on the ground. There was no sympathy in her eyes, only cold scrutiny.
Long Fei knew clearly in his mind that if he didn't take action, this woman would show no mercy.
"Quick! Stop immediately, everyone stop fighting!"
He used up his last bit of strength and shouted, but the hoarse voice seemed to be swallowed by the wind, and could hardly penetrate the fierce battle and reach the ears of any gangster.
His face turned red due to suffocation, and his eyeballs bulged out, as if they would break free and jump out of their sockets in the next second.
Just when Long Fei was in despair, Gao Meng seemed to have seen through his mind. He was eager to prove his worth in front of Long Fei, so he raised his arms and shouted, "Everyone listen up, the boss said, stop fighting immediately!"
The bandits were awakened at this point, and when they looked back and saw Long Fei being restrained by Xiao Zhixue, they all withdrew their hands and stepped back, staring at the villagers around them with wide eyes. Although they were filled with resentment, no one dared to act rashly.
After all his men stopped following his orders, Long Fei begged Xiao Zhixue again, "Since they have all stopped, can you be magnanimous and spare my life?"
Xiao Zhixue still held the whip tightly, showing no sign of forgiveness. Instead, she asked a confusing question, "How many people are there in Longfei Village?"
Although Long Fei was puzzled, he still told the truth, "There are a total of 236 brothers in my Long Fei Village."
Hearing this number, Xiao Zhixue showed a rare smile on her face. The large population of Longfei Village meant that there must be horses hidden there. This was good news for her.
"Do you have a carriage in your village?"
She asked immediately. Long Fei was stunned at first, but then he realized, how could there be no carriage in Long Fei Village? "Indeed there is, but I don't know why the lady asked about this?"
Xiao Zhixue did not explain and directly issued an order, "Tell your people to prepare ten carriages!"
As soon as these words came out, Long Fei was extremely panicked. Their village couldn't even have three vehicles, let alone ten. Moreover, the few vehicles they had were the lifeblood for transporting goods.
They live in a remote area, and if they want to enjoy some worldly pleasures, they often have to travel to a small town ten miles away and seize what they need by force.
All the acquired property was transported back by these carriages.
If we hand these carriages over to Xiao Zhixue, we will have no way to transport the loot in the future and our survival will be in trouble.
"I can't do that. We don't have enough carriages."
Gao Meng took the initiative and flatly refused. The three carriages were the spoils he had won from the government after going through so much hardship, and they were also the capital for him to sit on the second seat in Longfei Village. How could he give them up so easily?
Xiao Zhixue curled her lips into a sneer and tightened the whip in her hand again. Long Fei suddenly felt difficulty breathing, his eyes bulged, and his tongue stuck out unconsciously.
The bandits were worried about losing their leader, so they all said to Gao Meng, "Second boss, for the sake of the safety of the first boss, please donate the carriages in the village."
"Yes, Second Master, you can't just stand by and watch someone die, right?"
"Quiet!"
Gao Meng's roar made his younger brothers silent.
How could he be willing to hand over the three carriages? They were treasures that he had earned with countless sweat and risk, and they also put his name on the government's blacklist.
How could I let go so easily!
Long Fei was almost suffocated, and Gao Meng's tough rejection was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.
He realized instantly that in Gao Meng's heart, his life was not as important as those carriages.
Long Fei cursed in his heart, "Gao Meng, you bastard, when I get over this, I will kill you with my own hands!"
Xiao Zhixue was not in a hurry to kill Long Fei. She gently let go of the whip, leaving him a glimmer of hope.
Long Fei took the opportunity to greedily breathe in the air he hadn't seen for a long time. He knew that Xiao Zhixue was not really forgiving him, so he hurriedly shouted at his men, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and bring the carriage!"
Just as several of his men were about to move to carry out the order, Gao Meng waved his long sword and stopped them, "Who dares to touch my carriage? Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
When Long Fei witnessed this scene, he was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he wished he could tear Gao Meng into pieces at this moment.
"Gao Meng, you ungrateful beast, I fed you and made you the second in command, but you actually betrayed me for a few broken carriages! Brothers, capture Gao Meng for me, I want to take care of him myself!"
The younger brothers responded to the order and rushed towards Gao Meng like a tide.
Gao Meng was not willing to be outdone. He swung his sword desperately and fought to the death with every approacher, vowing to defend his own interests and dignity.
Gao Meng was secretly delighted in his heart, and followed the confrontation between Long Fei and Xiao Zhixue with expectant eyes. He was eager for the transfer of power. He seemed to have seen himself sitting in the position of the second in command, which symbolized power, majestic and in command.
