Chapter 627
Chapter Six Hundred and Twenty Seven – The Ming Bandits

The estate that Shu Long and the others lived in was not left unscathed under Lin Qian’s blow and collapsed . But because they had been preparing to leave, all of them were unharmed .

When Zuo Mo’s shout howled out, all of Guard Camp suddenly shot into the air like a drawn bow string . With a few jumps, they appeared next to Zuo Mo .

They had finished forming a battle formation in the air . When they landed next to Zuo Mo, they surrounded him in the middle . The movements was so dazzling that all those who noticed this scene had strange looks on their faces .

“Find A Wen and the others!” Zuo Mo asked gravely, “Is everyone else here?”

“All here!” Shu Long nodded reliably . Behind him, several figures flew out and quickly found A Wen and the others .

Zuo Mo noticed Xiao Guo and Li Ying Feng among the group and Li Ying Feng was carrying Luo Li on her back . His nerves immediately relaxed . When he saw Bie Han and Sin Battalion, his expression eased further .

But his brow quickly furrowed again .

The black dots in the sky became increasingly clear . The battalion that was flying towards them was astoundingly large . From the scale, it probably had more than ten thousand people!

“Bie Han, prepare to fight!” Zuo Mo lost his politeness at this time and briskly ordered .

Bie Han’s cold face remained motionless . He nodded and turned to leave .

“Miss Ceng! Please give the command of the Celestial Planet Guards to me!” Zuo Mo said with a serious expression .

Ceng Lian’er did not waste words and shouted, “Shou Ping!”

“Present!” Shou Ping immediately came out of the ranks . Miss’ battle just now had frightened him half to death and the reveal of Miss’ strength had shocked him .

“From now, you will be under Xiao Mo Ge Daren’s command . Anyone who disobeys will be executed!” Ceng Lian’er swept Shou Ping with a glance and said in a light tone .

Shou Ping’s heart shook and he responded respectfully, “Yes!”

“The Ming Bandits! The Ming Bandits have come!” In the sky, many mo stumbled as they landed . Their faces were ashen and their expressions filled with terror .

“Ming Bandits!”

Great Peace City exploded .

Even Zhu Ke and the others suddenly changed expression .

Zuo Mo saw Tao Xing’s bloodless face . His lips were trembling and he was clearly extremely terrified . Zuo Mo asked, “Who are the Ming Bandits?”

Tao Xing’s throat was dry and his expression as grey as it could be . “We are definitely going to die now! Ming Bandits … … Ming Bandits, they are a group of lawless bandits … …”

“Lawless bandits?” Zuo Mo paused . At his side, some members of the Guard Camp had expressions of scorn . They had killed many bandits on their journey here .

“The strongest bandits!” The one who spoke was Tang Fei . At this moment, this handsome young woman with a ponytail had a trace of fear on her face . “They come like the wind, kill people and are extremely cruel . Their leader is called Ming Hui . This person is an astounding genius . Even though he is young, he is only a step away from marshal level . He has many experts under his command . They are all the elites of the other bandit groups that he has taken over . This person is extremely ambitious and is as sly as a wolf . He is someone no one wants to provoke!”

Zuo Mo understood some of this . After a moment of thought, he said to Tang Fei, “Starting from now, I’m going to command your battalion!”

Tang Fei opened her mouth but did not speak . Tao Xing heard this and his expression relaxed slightly . He nodded repeatedly and said, “Good good good! Tang Fei, listen well to Daren’s orders!”

Tang Fei lowered her head and accepted the order . “Yes!”

At this time, Zuo Mo did not have the attention to spare for Tang Fei’s willingness or the lack thereof . The Ming Bandits were coming quick and a hard battle would not be able to be avoided .

Right now, anything he could get was something that he could use .

“Ming Bandits!” The middle-aged attendant’s expression changed slightly . She raised her head to look at the incoming black cloud in the sky and gritted through her teeth, “I will take you and break through . ”

“You can escape . With your strength, you should be able to break out on your own . If you take me, you will not be able to escape . ” Princess Xia glanced at her .

The middle-aged attendant said lightly, “We have been mistress and servant for so many years . I had my own intentions when I started, but I watched you grow up into a young woman . No matter what, I will not abandon you . ”

She looked deeply at Princess Xia and said, “You have done enough for the Anwei Family, you do not owe them anymore . If you want to take the opportunity to go into hiding, this may be a good chance . ”

A thread of warmth flashed across Princess Xia’s eyes . With her hand she combed her slightly ruffled hair . “You are giving up?”

“This is probably fate,” the middle-aged attendant said lightly . However, her expression seemed to be relieved of a burden .

“You have given up, but I do not want to surrender like this to fate . ” Princess Xia’s smile blossomed and a differently light flashed through her eyes .

The middle-aged attendant showed a hint of shock .

“It is crueler to forget the things that one does not want to forget . Compared to him, I am much luckier . ” Princess Xia raised her face and her eyes seemed to be shrouded in mist . She murmured to herself, “In these years, I have muddled through and accepted the arrangements of the family . It was not for the Anwei Family, but for Father . Every time, I would think that the Anwei Family was the blood and tears of my father, and I was unable to refuse their requests . Now, I have thought it through . Since I do not want to forget, I will not forget . In the past, I was struggling in my memories and was moved by others like a puppet . When I think about it now, that me was really lacking . ”

Her beautiful face slowly lit up . She stared into the sky and seemed to say to herself, “I have to become brave . The Anwei Family is the work of my father, and the best way to pay respect to him is to inherit his last wishes and make the Anwei Family prosperous . I need to stand up, and not remain down, I will not be a puppet, I want to become the master of the Anwei Family!”

The middle-aged attendant’s gazed softened . She had seen how depressed Princess Xia had become after her father had passed away .

She was silent for a moment before she said, “I will lead you out of here!”

Her tone held determination rare to her .

Princess Xia took her gaze back and smiled mischievously . “I have a way . ”

“You have a way?” The middle-aged attendant stilled .

“They are surrounding us . ” Miao Jun’s expression was grave .

He was a gold battle general and had a broader view than other people . He quickly noticed the Ming Bandit Battalion that appeared at their flanks and rear . The other was trying to corral them in .

This was the first time that he had seen the legendary Ming Bandits . His mood was as dark as his expression was . As expected of the Ming Bandits that were publicly recognized as the strongest bandits . From the initial charge to the maneuver to surround them, the transformation of the formation flowed like water . It was shockingly smooth . The troops looked unorganized but the murderousness that came with battle experience caused Miao Jun’s heart to tremble .

After seeing this group of terrifying bandits with his own eyes, Miao Jun finally understood why no faction was willing to provoke the Ming Bandits .

Zuo Mo grimaced . He could also see what Miao Jun saw . But his strength was completely drained and he had not recovered . He swept a look across Shu Long and the others . Their expression was normal but everyone had been affected by that sword strike that swept through all of Great Peace City . Their offensive capabilities were also affected .

The Ming Bandit did not form a wall to surround them . Instead they were strategically dispersed maintaining appropriate distances between the groups of troops and did not expose any openings .

Seeing this, Zuo Mo knew that the enemy was an expert!

However, the Ming Bandits did not target Lin Qian’s group .

They were those who only bullied the weak!

Zuo Mo cursed them as he threw lingdan into his mouth . He ordered Shu Long and the others to take the time to recover and receive the hard battle that was going to come .

Suddenly, Zuo Mo noticed Princess Xia’s group coming over .

“I know you have a way out so I came to side with you . ” Princess Xia had a mischievous smile .

Zuo Mo grimaced . “What way do I have?”

“Then what do we do?” Princess Xia’s brow furrowed as she looked pleadingly at Zuo Mo .

“Even if you look at me, I can’t create a way . ” Zuo Mo’s expression was one of helplessness, but the next words that came from his mouth was completely the opposite . “However, no matter if there is a way or not, we have to fight . ”

His tone was not resolute, nor arousing but a strong fighting spirit permeated from it .

For some reason, Princess Xia immediately felt reassured . She smiled beautifully . “I will let you take command of my guards . If I really die, it isn’t much . We will live and die together!”

“Cough cough cough!” When Miao Jun heard this, he burst into coughing . Princess Xia was a beauty, and he felt he was unable to withstand her presence in that moment .

Zuo Mo was not affected by the “illusory spell . ” His mind was filled with potential ways of breaking through the encirclement .

He did not refuse Princess Xia’s submission . In his mind, Princess Xia was his friend and he also owed her a favor . He thought and then asked, “How many guards do you have?”

“About three hundred . ”

“Give their command to me . ” Zuo Mo did not waste words .

“Alright!” Princess Xia agreed without another word .

A hint of admiration flashed through Zuo Mo’s eyes at Princess Xia’s decisiveness .

Princess Xia’s guards were quickly gathered and they were put under Zuo Mo’s command . Zuo Mo immediately gave these guards to Miao Jun to lead .

A gold battle general could not be wasted .

The events that occurred after far surpassed Zuo Mo’s expectations . It may have been that Bie Han’s battalion had the advantage of numbers but many other people came to throw their lot in with him .

Given their familiarity Zuo Mo could understand when the Lan Brothers came to him but he didn’t understand why Princess Xin and Princess Wan also came .

But at this time, he needed more manpower and did not refuse any of them . His request to all of them was the same, hand command of their guards to him . The people also knew the urgency of the situation and cooperated .

Zuo Mo had Miao Jun take command of all these guards .

At this time, the Ming Bandits had finished their encirclement . It was strictly enforced and any mo that tried to break through were killed on the spot .

The pressure created by the army circling the city was suffocating .

Zuo Mo felt extremely urgency . If the Ming Bandits attacked the city at this moment, then they wouldn’t have any power to resist . What he could trust the most right now was only Bie Han’s Sin Battalion . There weren’t enough of Guard Camp’s members here . A Wen and the others were lightly wounded and their strength was affected .

Time! They needed time!

Just as Zuo Mo was praying that the Ming Bandits would not attack the city so quickly, woosh, the Ming Bandit battle battalion suddenly pushed forward .

The tangible murderousness filled the air and swept them like an enormous wave . Everyone’s expression changed!

Were they about to attack the city?

At this time, something suddenly happened!
