After everything was arranged, Xin You explained to He Qingxiao: "The two escorting the bandits will cause a bloody disaster. I guess they were injured by the boss and others who came to Ling County to have fun..."

He Qingxiao's expression gradually became serious after hearing this.

The reason why he asked his two men to wait for them to set off first before sending the bandits to the Yamen was to prevent the team from adding any unexpected risks.As I said before, Miss Xin’s safety comes first.

But this was thinking about the worst, and I didn't expect it to actually happen.

The tree was tall and leafy, and the two people hiding in the tree stopped talking, looking through the gaps between the branches and leaves, silently staring down.

The tree closest to the big tree where Xinyou was hiding was Qianfeng and Ping An.Unlike others who were staring directly below, their attention was entirely focused on the tree next to them.

Up to this moment, the two of them were still frowning.

They were supposed to accompany the young master, but Master He took their place again.You can't insist even if you want, the young master doesn't agree.

The two of them were a little confused as to how they could be other people's guards.

someone is coming.

The banditry caused people to panic, and further south it was rainy and disaster-prone. The official road some distance away from the county seat was full of wilderness on both sides, and it would take a while for anyone to pass by.

A young couple came, walking on foot, with tense expressions.

Xin You looked at the woman who was looking around frequently with her baggage, and became more aware of the impact of banditry on the people in this area.

After that, three or two more carriages passed by. Xin You twitched her ears and looked at He Qingxiao.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded urgent, and it sounded like there were more than three or five horses.

Looking far away from a high position, I soon saw a group of people coming on horseback.The leader's horse was not very fast. He looked left and right, raised his hand, and dismounted first.

The people behind them dismounted one after another, waiting for the leader's orders.

The sixth master's pupils were trembling as his mouth was blocked.

It's the boss!

"Let's just go here." The headmaster took a knife and walked through the bushes on both sides of the road, making arrangements for the people he brought.

There were more than ten people in this group, and soon four people drove the horses to the dense forest not far away on one side. The remaining ten people, including the head master, were hiding in the bushes.

In June and July, when the vegetation is at its peak, a dozen or so people are hiding among them, like dormant beasts waiting for prey, with a fierce glint in their eyes.

"Drive, drive—"

Two figures on horseback came from the direction of Ling County.

"Here we come." In the bushes, the master held the knife in his hand tightly.

On the tree, Xinyou held his breath and concentrated, getting ready.

Two Jinlin Guards in civilian clothes rode horses and quickly approached. As the birds chirped, the horse rope suddenly straightened, the horse's legs bent, and the man on the horse fell forward.

The moment the two were thrown out, the boss stood up and waved his hand.

The bandits who were ambushing on both sides stood up and ran towards the middle of the road with their knives in hand.

The long knife that had drank the blood of countless people shone coldly in the sun, and the bandit who raised the knife looked ferocious.

The ferocious expression suddenly froze, and accompanied by screams, the bandit fell forward.

Xin You jumped down from the tree and walked towards the gangster who was screaming.

The two Jinlin Guards didn't understand the situation for a moment, and looked at He Qingxiao who was approaching: "Sir -"

In a panic, I forgot the name I used to hide my identity on the way out.

"Thank you for your hard work." He Qingxiao nodded in response and stopped in front of the head master.

The headmaster saw He Qingxiao's face clearly, his expression changed suddenly, and he blurted out: "Master He!"

At this time, Jin Linwei, who had inspected the scene, reported: "Sir, there are three people alive and seven dead."

"Clean up the scene and take them to the dense forest ahead."

Seeing the Sixth Master being pushed by a Jinlin Guard, the First Master's eyes were split open: "Sixth, it's you!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The headmaster Liu was gagged and couldn't make a sound, with a look of aggrievement on his face.It's not him. How could he be so capable?

It's him!

The Sixth Master suddenly looked at Xin You.

The young man walking among a group of young people has not yet grown up. His body is thin and his appearance is green, but his back is indescribably calm and mysterious.

Yes, mysterious.

Although the eldest son frightened him, this young man made him feel mysterious.

Because of the mystery, it breeds indescribable fear.

How did he know that the big boss would ambush the two people who sent Xiaoba to the county government?
How did he know that the boss would choose to set up an ambush here?

How did he know that he and his brothers were hiding on the hillside, preparing to rob and kill the caravan?

The more the Sixth Master thought about it, the more frightened he became. Under the scorching sun, a cold air flowed through his limbs and his body, and his heart beat like a drum.

At this moment, Xin You glanced at Head Six.

The sixth master was shaken all over, his head tilted and he fainted from fright.

Jin Linwei, who was dragging the Sixth Master, looked confused: "Sir, this bandit suddenly fainted."

"Take him over first." He Qingxiao said calmly.

Xin You guessed the origin of He Qingxiao from the name the master called him. She walked up to him and looked at him, and said coldly: "The master is so majestic. He scared his subordinates to death with just one sentence."

The Sixth Master just didn't lift it up in one breath. He woke up in pain after being roughly dragged and dragged. When he heard these words, his face turned bright.

The headmaster was hit by an arrow in the shoulder. He pursed his lips tightly to endure the pain, but there was hope in his heart.

There are four more of them guarding the horses in the forest. If they hear the noise here, as long as one of them can escape back to the stronghold, they will have the leverage to negotiate.

When they arrived in the forest, the headmaster looked at the four corpses on the ground, his face pale.

"How on earth do you know?" His extreme confusion made him forget the pain and fear and roared out.

After calming down, the eldest master realized that these people had nothing to do with the sixth master.

Even if the Sixth Master betrayed him and told these people that he was in Ling County, how would they know when he would leave the city?
unless--

The headmaster's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Zheng Zhixian, this traitor!"

He Qingxiao was so perceptive. When he heard this, he immediately thought of a possibility: the big boss and Zheng Ming, the magistrate of Ling County, had secretly colluded together.

If this is the case, it makes sense that the government has not taken any action when banditry has been so rampant near Lingxian County recently.

"Are you under the command of the traitorous general Wu Yanting?"

In April, Wu Yanting, the commander of the Beijing camp, led his troops to flee south and were later wiped out, but there were still scattered soldiers missing.

Considering the time when the leader occupied Wuyun Village, he also recognized him as the envoy of Jinlin Guard Town. There is no doubt that this person was a fish that slipped through the net under Wu Yanting's command.

The headmaster's pupils shrank, and he was so shocked that he cursed: "No wonder the dog thief named Zheng hurriedly reported to me that an official passing by on business had captured the Shanzhai brothers, but he didn't reveal that it was Jin Linwei. It turns out he knew about me. As a traitor general, he has joined forces with the Jinlin Guards to take advantage of us..."

Listening to the eldest master's scolding, the sixth master felt dizzy.

The boss is actually a rebel!

The county magistrate actually colluded with bandits!
The people who captured him turned out to be Jin Linwei!

God, he is just a little bandit, why should he go through this!

Amidst the scolding from the boss, He Qingxiao looked at Xin You.

The big boss revealed his relationship with the magistrate of Lingxian County without warning. It was not that the big boss was stupid, but because of their oriole's ambush, the big boss could only think of one reasonable explanation: Magistrate Zheng was a double-faced man.

And this misunderstanding was all because of her.

Xin You suddenly said: "Qianfeng, go get some paper and pen from your bag."
