Chapter 100

"Black Seven!" Shi Quan gasped upon hearing the name. "Isn't he the second-in-command of Hu Mazi's bandit lair?" "Shi Yi, hurry up and pack your things! Run away with me!" The young girl was extremely agitated. Her family had once lived on Qingniu Mountain, but her grandfather had eventually moved them to the capital. After two generations of hard work, they had established three or four storefronts in the city. Since they were in the fur trade and frequently returned to this area to source their goods, she was naturally well-aware of Hu Mazi, the notorious bandit king of Qingniu Mountain. It was rumored that Hu Mazi commanded at least a thousand mounted bandits, and she also knew of the bitter feud between Hu Mazi and Shi Yi’s father. As she spoke, she tried to pull Shi Yi away, but he merely smiled at her. "Little one, your father must have come to the county seat this time, too, right?" Shi Quan nodded, her eyes bright and lively, carrying a playful air about her. She was like a woodland sprite brought to life. While she lacked the breathtaking beauty of Wang Zhijiao, by the standards of this era, she was a quintessential girl-next-door.
