Zhe Chuntang: She regretted it after provoking crazy critics of powerful officials

Shen Yuluo waited for a whole day.

In fact, at almost noon, the head of Taolin Village realized something was wrong.

After he had an argument with his second son last night, he hasn't noticed anyone else. At this time, everyone was busy and there was no sign of him.

"Shouhou, go find the second boss."

The headmaster put down the rough tea bowl, rinsed his mouth and prepared to play with the sword.

"Brother Mazi, have you seen the second brother?"

The thin monkey wandered around but didn't see anyone, so he asked when he saw someone.

Mazi grinned: "Where else could he be? Didn't we bring back a pretty boy yesterday? If you go look for him in his room, you'll definitely find him! He hasn't gotten up yet. I guess he was too tired last night. hey-hey……"

"Oh, okay, I'll go take a look."

The thin monkey scratched the back of his head and ran to the two thatched houses at the back.

When I opened the middle door, there was nothing inside, not even a ghost.

"Oops! People ran away!"

This shout made the two dozing guards at the door wake up with fright. When they followed him in, they were also dumbfounded.

"It's impossible. From last night to now, the two of us have been guarding here, and not even a fly has flown out."

They walked around the room and found signs that the back window had been opened again.

But under the back window is a pond with no place to stay. They dug it here deliberately because they were afraid that the people who locked it would run away.

The movement here immediately alerted the others, who hurried over and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two people next door were still there.

Shen Yuluo and Xue Cheng tied their hands and feet again and used the method of tying them, and they were able to break free with a little skill.

They pretended not to know anything and looked at the room full of bandits in fear.

"Could it be that he flew out by stepping on the water?"

The skinny monkey stuck his head out of the window. He really didn't know where people could escape.

If he jumped into the water, it would definitely make a huge noise, and there was no way that so many of them wouldn't hear it.

"Idiot!" Mazi slapped the thin monkey on the forehead, "If he had this ability, would he still be caught by us?! Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless he's just faking—no!"

Mazi ran away, and at this time the boss also came over with a long knife.

Before he could say anything, the boss asked first: "Have the two brothers who went to deliver the letter come back last night?"

The bandits in the village quickly looked at the people around them and found that there were indeed two missing.

"Liu Yong, that thief! This must be his plan, and the people we capture may not be his children. Maybe he will collude with the people of Black Dragon Thirteenth Village to make dumplings for us!"

The headmaster's expression changed. He had long been at odds with the man named Liu. The hypocrite was even more hateful than them.

Their brothers in Taolin Village are good at hiding. As long as they jump into the mountains and forests, they are like a fish in water. Even the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court to suppress the bandits are unable to do anything.

Liu Yong has always wanted to win over him and ask him to teach this skill to several other mountains, so that he would not have to suffer heavy losses when the court came to suppress bandits every year.

But he was unwilling to work with hypocrites like Liu Yong, so he led his village to act independently.

It must be that Liu Yong failed to win over him several times, so he became angry and devised a plan to knock them down directly.

"The boss, there is one less person brought back yesterday! The second boss is also missing..." Seeing that the boss looked bad and the others did not dare to speak, Shouhou was pushed out, so he had to report truthfully.

"He eats everything inside and outside!"

The boss stabbed the knife on the ground angrily, thinking that they might be cooperating inside and outside and had planned it long ago.

No wonder the second child has been talking about how good the nearby hills are lately. It turns out that he has already turned against him, and she even warned him sincerely without knowing it!
"Quickly, take these two people with you and keep them close to you. Let's retreat."

The headmaster looked at the sky and realized that if he didn't move his position quickly, it might be too late.

The bandits looked at the things they had finally saved but could not take away, and they all showed regretful expressions, but in order to survive, they gritted their teeth and left.

Many of them are dissatisfied with the boss's approach. They have already turned into bandits. Why should they insist on the so-called benevolence and righteousness?

Is it possible that when the imperial officers and soldiers were encircling and suppressing bandits, they could still treat them differently from other bandits?

But the boss has really treated them well in the past few years. He always distributes good things to everyone. Sometimes he would rather take care of them when he is short of food and clothing. Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they do not choose to seek refuge with others. people.

"Yes, the head of the family."

A group of them quickly moved their positions. The second master, Youyou, who was covered with dry straw in the corner and was not noticed by anyone, woke up and was completely confused.

On the other side, Xuan Che was taken away from the secret passage by Liu Zhuzhu and sent directly to the only way to the north.

"If you go back along this road, you will definitely run into one of your own people. Let's go quickly."

Liu Zhuzhu waved to him. She had been a good lady and a good daughter for more than ten years. This was the first time she had made decisions against her father's wishes.

My mother said that my father had done a lot of wrong things over the years, so she kept fasting and chanting Buddha's name, saying that she was trying to accumulate good fortune and eliminate disasters for her father.

Then by doing this, she can offset part of her father's sins and gain virtue for her family.

"Thank you girl, see you soon!"

Xuan Che hugged her fists and turned around to go on his way.

The terrain of Boyang is complex and there are many forked roads. If you are not very familiar with the local area, you will not be able to get here so quickly, let alone master the necessary routes and plan them in advance.

There is a canyon ahead, with extremely steep sides and a narrow middle. The team that can pass can only accommodate two or three people side by side.

If an ambush was set up here, a few hundred people could kill thousands of elite soldiers without any effort.

Judging from the situation, their large army had not been here yet. Xuan Che hurried back along the road, and sure enough, he saw their military flag not long after.

"Mr. Xuan! Why are you here? Where are the eldest princess and the prince?"

The leader was Gu Qingshan, the boy who grew up in Xuecheng, who served as the deputy captain during this march.

After they arrived at the agreed meeting place early in the morning, they waited and saw no one, thinking that the eldest princess and the prince were lost, so they sent troops to look for them.

As a result, they only found a dozen guards lying on the ground, and they panicked instantly.

They were delayed for a long time while searching for people. They had not passed the canyon just now and could not reach this point.

"The eldest princess and the others were kidnapped by bandits. There is an ambush from bandits ahead, so be careful."

Xuan Cheyi explained the situation in a concise and concise manner, and then asked Gu Qingshan for a team of troops to rescue the eldest princess and the others.

"You guys, follow Mr. Xuan. The rest of the troops will be divided into two groups. Don't take the official road in the middle. Go up the mountain from both sides and go around. Hide the baggage here first and send guards to pick it up later."

Gu Qingshan arranged the remaining personnel in an orderly manner and led some soldiers to take the most difficult path.
