The fierce appearance was indeed frightening.
So much so that the women present screamed and cried.
Qin Heng was also startled. What Yuan Da said made him seem like no decent person—could he really be a mountain bandit?
He was just about to call out for Gu Baoshu when he heard a "smack" sound. Brother Ximen had already slapped Yuan Da across the face, making him stagger.
"You oaf, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
The commotion attracted the attention of the Five Cities Military Department personnel guarding the area. A clerk with a few soldiers, their hands firmly on the hilts of their swords, approached and asked, "What's going on here?"
Brother Ximen couldn't help but twitch his eye.
These soldiers were strong, skilled in archery, and adept at sword fighting. Directly engaging in a melee with them wouldn't end well, but he couldn't just stand by and watch them take people away either.
