Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

Chapter 265 Actually, none of you need to go out.

Xu Ji replied, "I was collecting herbs when I passed through a village called Xinghua Village and happened to stumble upon a ceremony where they were offering girls as sacrifices to the mountain god. As soon as I heard that, I felt something was wrong and thought that there might be bad people using this as a pretext to do bad things. So I tried to sneak into the girls being sacrificed to find out what was going on, and as a result, I was sent to this bandit's den."

After Xu Ji finished speaking, he asked Yun Qingqing, "Little Qingqing, what about you? Why are you here too?"

Yun Qingqing said, "We, like you, came here disguised as the sacrificial maidens in order to find out what's going on."

Xu Ji said, "Little Qingqing, now that we've figured out the situation and arrived at the bandits' den, let's fight our way out."

Yun Qingqing nodded: "Okay." She deftly took off her bright red wedding dress, revealing a smart and practical outfit that she had already put on underneath.

The four Yun brothers also took off their outer robes, revealing the tight-fitting clothes they were wearing underneath.

Yun Chengying cracked his knuckles, a gleam of excitement in his eyes: "After holding back for so long, I can finally unleash my killing spree."

Yun Qingqing turned to her four brothers: "Fourth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother, and eighth brother, you stay in the prison to protect these girls. Xu Ji and I will come to find you after we go out and deal with those bandits."

The four brothers objected in unison: "No, Ah Bao."

Yun Chenghao frowned and said, "Abao, the bandits are numerous and powerful. It's too dangerous for the two of you to go. We'll go together so we can look out for each other."

Yun Chengying said urgently, "Abao, Brother Ba has been wanting to teach these bastards a lesson for a long time. You can't leave me behind."

He pointed to the trembling girls in the cell: "It's enough for Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother, and Seventh Brother to protect them. I'll go with you and teach those bastards a lesson."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chengxiao, Yun Chenghao, and Yun Chengxi immediately expressed their dissatisfaction and said in unison, "Xiao Ba, you stay here to protect these girls. We'll go out and kill the bandits."

Yun Chengying immediately objected: "I won't do it! I was the one who stayed behind to suppress the river bandits last time, so I have to go this time no matter what!"

Seeing this, Xu Ji chuckled and slowly said, "Actually, none of you need to go out."

He raised an eyebrow at Yun Qingqing, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Little Qingqing is quite capable; she could easily take down this bandit den by herself."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and asked seriously, "By the way, Xiao Qingqing, your abilities didn't disappear after you came to this place, did they?"

Yun Qingqing replied, "No."

Xu Ji smiled broadly and said, "Then you can do whatever you want in this world."

Yun Qingqing turned to her four brothers and said, "You all stay here. If you come with me, I'll be distracted."

She paused for a moment, then added, "Xu Ji is very skilled. With him and me together, we won't be in any danger."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ji immediately smiled and said to the four Yun brothers, "Yes, yes, don't worry, I'm very skilled and will protect Xiao Qingqing."

He thought to himself: Xiao Qingqing's abilities far surpass his own, so why does she need his protection?

Upon hearing this, Yun Chengying immediately moved closer to Yun Qingqing, looking at her expectantly: "Abao, good Abao, let your brother go with you, I promise I won't distract you."

Looking at the pitiful look on the myna bird's face, Yun Qingqing compromised and said, "Alright, myna bird, you come out with me."

Seeing this, Yun Chengxi and Yun Chenghao immediately followed suit and came over, asking Yun Qingqing to let them go out as well.

Yun Qingqing frowned slightly: "These girls still need protection. If you all come with me, what if bandits come?"

Yun Chengxi immediately pointed to Yun Chengxiao, whose face looked rather unpleasant, and said, "With Fourth Brother here, he's very skilled and can protect these girls all by himself."

Yun Chengxiao, whose name was called out, looked even more serious: "You guys stay here to protect these girls. I'll go out with Abao."

Seeing that they were all eager to go out and kill the bandits, Xu Ji smiled and said to Yun Qingqing, "Little Qingqing, since they all want to go out and kill the bandits, let them go. Let's go out and cause trouble, wipe out the bandits' den, and then those bandits won't have time to bother these girls."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingqing looked at her brothers, who all seemed eager to go out and cause trouble, and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's go out together then."
