Seeing that there were already people who wanted to retreat, Yun Ruo Lu knew that it was time to end this matter, so she agreed: "Alright! I promise you, if I don't save your daughter, you can come and find me anytime! "

Hearing Yun Ruo's words, everyone started to panic. Who would want a vengeful spirit to pester them?

When Yun Ruo's words came out, the ghost lady did not say anything. Everyone waited for a long time with their breaths closed. After confirming that the ghost lady would not come out again, they all let out a sigh of relief.

"I can't believe you still have some guts. Open that coffin and see what's inside!"

The bandit leader loudly spoke to Yun Ruo Lu, but his tone was much better than before.

Yun Ruo Lu was also curious about what was in the coffin. No matter what, she would not believe that it was filled with dead people.

Thus, Yun Ruo gathered up her courage and walked towards the coffin. Then, she slowly opened the lid of the coffin.

Just as the coffin lid was half opened, the bandits not far away stretched their necks, looking at them but not daring to move forward. This made Yun Ruo Lu's heart leap with amusement.

Just as the coffin lid was about to be opened, Yun Ruo suddenly exclaimed, "Ahhh!" A loud shout scared everyone in the room, causing them to jump up and down.

Yun Ruo Lu pointed at the coffin, her eyes widened and her fingers trembled, but she was unable to say anything for a long time.

The bandit leader was both afraid and anxious as he hurriedly asked, "What did you see?" But no one went up to see.

"Yes …" Yes... "Silver!"

Yun Ruo Lu resisted the urge to laugh out loud, and stammered for a long time before speaking the truth. Yun Ruo You acted like she was trying to get rid of them, but her method did work.

Everyone slowed down for three seconds and still hadn't recovered from their shock yet. Mu Lejiang looked at Yun Ruo Lu, but no one dared to say a word. They could only stare dumbly at her as she laughed maniacally in front of them.

Seeing that, Yun Ruo Lu was speechless, and continued to remind him: "It's silver! We found the silver! "

Hearing this, everyone realized something. The bandit leader ran to the front and all of them rushed to the front like a swarm of bees. They all rushed to move the coffin lid to check what was going on.

The black coffin was two meters long and one meter wide, and all of it was filled with white silver. The dazzling light made everyone present dumbfounded.

"Hahahaha …" It was really silver! "Men, bring this coffin back to the mountain for me!"

After confirming the authenticity of the silver, the bandit leader let out a hearty laughter. His yellow teeth were exposed, making Yun Ruo Lu feel disgusted upon seeing it.

Yun Ruo Lu knew that she had completed her mission, so she said, "Since I have already found the silver, I should go back and report back!"

Yun Ruo cupped her hands as she bid her farewell, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible. However, she was stopped by the bandit leader and said: "What are you so anxious about? Since you have found so much silver for us, we should celebrate on the mountain! "

"I still have matters to attend to, so I won't be losing the king. Farewell!"

Yun Ruo Lu wanted to leave, but the bandit leader's eyes were wide open as he shouted in anger: "What! Do you not give face to this king or do you look down on us bandits! "

The bandit leader angrily shouted. Everyone who was happily shouting immediately quieted down, looking at Yun Ruo Ran, waiting for her reply.

Yun Ruo Lu knew that it was impossible for her to force herself to leave, so she could only bite the bullet and agree: "Then I'll be troubling you!"

The eight of them carried the coffins, and the thirty plus people walked majestically towards the top of the peak.

Yun Ruo Lu felt a bit complicated in her heart. She didn't know what kind of accident would happen if she followed this Mountain Thief up the mountain. The worst case scenario would be if they found out that she was a girl.

Not only that, there was also Yuchi Chen. If she were to return home tomorrow, it would mean she had disappeared for two days and one night. She might even be grounded if she went back. As he thought of this, a chill ran through his heart.

And this silver, it was all official silver. No matter how foolish these bandits were, they would discover this sooner or later.

The bandit leader was in a very good mood. He chatted with Yun Ruo on the way back, and Yun Ruo learned that this bandit leader was once a soldier, and had even become a minor official. Later, he was expelled from the camp for his mistakes. After arriving at Fengfeng Mountain, he became a bandit.

The scar on his face was not from when he was a robber, but from when he fought in the army. Although the man looked a bit ugly, he had a better name, which was Zhengwai.

After Zhenghua became a bandit, he found out that this name was not domineering enough, so he gave himself a nickname called Hei Ba.

Yun Ruo Lu also understood that even though they were bandits, they still followed the rules. They only robbed wealthy black-hearted merchants and officials. As far as ordinary people were concerned, they wouldn't disturb the lives of others. They were bandits that plundered wealth to help the poor, so they had a lot of conscience.

Yun Ruo could tell that Black Ba seemed to loathe the imperial government. When she unintentionally mentioned the emissary's corruption, Black Ba was obviously infuriated, and wished he could kill the prime minister himself.

On the mountain, Yun Ruo finally understood why the imperial government couldn't eliminate this group of bandits. It was because the terrain of the mountain was simply too good.

There were canyons, cliffs, and even a single bridge. This kind of dangerous terrain made even Yun Ruo, who came to Feng Feng Feng Mountain for the first time, feel that the road ahead became increasingly difficult.

When they reached the top of the mountain, Yun Ruo saw that the bandits' so-called mountain stronghold was actually dug out from the cave. And not far away from the cave was the sheer cliff.

The cave was rather dark, and one needed to light candles. However, burning candles required oxygen, so staying in the cave for a long time would cause one to feel dizzy and nauseous. It even made one uncomfortable.

This symptom wasn't only felt by Yun Ruo Lu alone, even the Mountain Bandits were aware of this disadvantage. It was just that it wasn't easy to build a house on top of the mountain, and they didn't understand why the cave would make people feel stuffy, so they had to work hard to adapt to this kind of environment.

When they returned to the top of the mountain, before the sun had set, Yunruo was already wandering around the mountain while the others were preparing for the evening celebrations in high spirits. With so much silver, how many people would they have to rob?

Yun Ruo Lu observed the surroundings of the mountain and realized how big the rocks were. Furthermore, it was very easy to cut down the trees. It was entirely possible for them to build houses. Even if it was built in a crude way, it was still better than living in a cave.

However, she was not related to this group of bandits, so even if she knew, there was no need to tell them. After all, different paths didn't mean the same. It was better to keep a distance between them.

"Big brother, why are you here alone?"

As Yun Ruo You stood at the edge of the cliff looking at the scenery, she suddenly heard the voice of a little girl behind her. Yun Ruo Lu turned around and saw a little girl around ten years old standing not far from her, curiously sizing her up.

"Who are you?"

Yun Ruo Lu was curious as to why there was a little girl among the group of bandits.

"I'm an orphan. Daddy picked me up and brought me here. Brother, who are you? Why haven't I seen you before? "

The little girl had earned the kindness from having innocent eyes and an innocent look. She didn't have the slightest trace of being infected by bandits.

"Hehe, I'm your dad's friend, come here to play."

Even she couldn't believe that she would actually call herself a friend of a bandit.

"Did Father invite you here to teach Qing`er?"

Qing`er's interest was piqued the moment she saw how refined Yun Ruo was.

"No …" "No, but if you want to learn, I can teach you."

She didn't know why, but she felt like she didn't want to disappoint Qing`er. So even though she was only a passerby, she still chose to say the words to teach Qing`er.

"Really? "Can brother teach Qing`er how to write daddy's name?"

Qing`er appeared incomparably excited as she hopped to Yun Ruo Lu's side, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Yun Ruo Lu was astonished. Qing`er actually didn't immediately want to learn to write her name, but had instead placed her bandit father at the very front instead. It seemed like Hei Ba was extremely fond of this little girl.

At dusk, Yun Ruo passed her days teaching Qing'er how to write. At night, a bonfire was lit at the top of the mountain. There were a total of forty-three people in the stronghold, and they were drinking and chatting merrily around the bonfire.

Yun Ruo Lu initially thought that the night in the village was long and dangerous, but she lived a relaxed and happy life. She even thought of letting this Mountain Thief be her scapegoat and felt a tinge of guilt.

It was only for her future that she had to do this.

That night, everyone was drunk. After everyone had gotten drunk, they fell asleep on the ground. Fortunately, they were surrounded by fire, otherwise, the temperature at the top of the mountain would have been so low that it could freeze people to death at night.

Before she passed out from drunkenness, Yun Ruo asked Hei Ba a question in a daze, saying that the environment on the mountain was so poor, why did they still have to live here? Even if it was halfway up the mountain, it was still better than this place by a hundred times.

Hei Ba also did not think too much into it. He laughed out loud and replied that once they left this mountain peak, there would be people who would want their lives. If it was before, he wouldn't care about anything. But ever since he adopted Qing`er, he had no choice but to be more cautious in everything he did.

Yun Ruo Lu did not expect that this bandit also knew how to treat others. Thinking about her situation in the palace, she felt that it was better to be happy than to be a bandit.

She originally thought that Liu Yanhan would really help her, but she didn't expect that every step she took would result in her being tricked. In the Yun Family's crisis, the real target should be her.

Maybe it was because they drank too much, but they didn't wake up until noon. Their awakening was not from natural drinking, but from the loud voices of the Black Buster.

When Yun Ruo Lu woke up, she only saw Hei Ba beating the gongs and drums alone, causing the atmosphere to become extremely tense. It was as if there was an enemy invading and no one was prepared.
