The whole family went crazy after reading my mind, and I became a favorite after eating melons

Chapter 81 Li Feng
  It turned out that Xu Yanhe died on Li Feng.

In order to save the Hua family, he desperately escaped. Li Feng is a vast area with dense mountains and forests, making it an excellent hiding place. However, Xu Ziying guessed that he would come here after knowing that he had escaped, and bribed the bandits here in advance. Xu Yanhe was captured and tortured to death here.

——The sky is shining brightly, but there is no light in the mountains and forests. Xu Yanhe is covered in blood, has no human form, and dies with his eyes closed.

Xu Zhiyan remembered the last description of Xu Yanhe in the book, and shuddered. She turned to look at Xu Yanqing, her voice trembling, "Brother, do you think there will be bandits in such a mountain peak?"

Xu Yanqing hadn't noticed her expression yet and replied leisurely, "Of course not..."

[I can’t let my second brother die in the hands of those bandits again. 】

Xu Yanqing's voice stopped suddenly, and he stiffly swallowed the unfinished words, "I don't know if there are any. Why did you suddenly think of asking this? If you are afraid, we can send someone to patrol first. If the bandits are found, we will Kill them on the spot."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved to Li Wenjin in the distance.

Li Wenjin didn't understand what he was going to do, but she came over anyway. As soon as she came over, she saw Xu Zhiyan's red eyes. Her heart tightened, and her fingers touched the redness before her brain.

"Why are you crying? What's wrong with you?"

Only then did Xu Zhiyan realize that she almost cried. She immediately raised her head slightly and sniffed hard.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little scared. When I read travel notes in story books, I always saw descriptions of encountering bandits when I went out. The mountains in front of me were endless, especially the Pear Peak. I felt scared just looking at it, and worried about what was inside. There are bandits.”

[There are bandits up there. They are not the kind who are forced to turn into bandits when they are desperate. They are ambitious and specially become bandits. They rob and kill passers-by and take money. They also cooperate with each other and collect money to kill people. These are a group of people with no humanity. Bottom line monster! 】

Her body was shaking slightly with anger, veins appeared on the side of her neck, and her whole body was like a tight bow, ready to explode at any time.

Li Wenjin held her in her arms distressedly, running his warm hands along her spine.

"Nanny, calm down. Don't be afraid. We are out on patrol this time. We have enough soldiers with us. If anything happens, we are fully capable of fighting back."

He didn't hear the thoughts in front of him, and he didn't know why she had such a big reaction to a strange place. This reaction was not entirely fear, but more like...hate.

The only things that can make her feel this way are family matters.

Li Wenjin suddenly recalled what she had heard in her heart - the entire Hua family was slaughtered, Mrs. Xu was divorced, and the children Mrs. Xu gave birth to did not end well.

This pear peak may be the burial place of one of her family members.

And those bandits are probably the ones who do it.

The bandit must have been summoned, and the mastermind behind it could not be caught for the time being, but it was possible to kill the bandit and give Xu Zhiyan peace of mind.

Li Wenjin called his personal eunuch and said, "Pass the word, take a break today and go to suppress the bandits tomorrow."

The eunuch was stunned by the word "suppressing bandits".

"Your Highness, aren't we here for inspection?"

"Inspection and inspection, and if any problems are found, we must help rectify them. I have long heard that bandits are rampant in this area. Although they will not take the initiative to provoke us, if they sit back and do nothing, other passers-by will definitely suffer. It is better for us to eradicate them. .”

Xu Zhiyan looked up at him.

The voice is a bit hoarse.

"Do we really want to suppress bandits?"

Li Wenjin looked down at her, her eyebrows softened a lot, "Really."

"My inspection is not just about looking, but more about getting started, rectifying the unevenness seen on the road, and gaining public support. I chose this road for this trip because I knew it was not peaceful here, so I came here specifically to deal with it. I originally planned to go there at the normal speed. , but you’re scared, so plan ahead.”

fake.

This road is wide, and no matter who comes out of Yangzhou Mansion, they will take this road.

Of course, there is no so-called plan, everything is decided.

But Xu Zhiyan was frightened. She gently hooked the hem of his clothes and said, "Okay, be careful."

……

It was impossible for Li Wenjin to take Xu Zhiyan to suppress the bandits. After settling her down, he personally led the team towards the ignorant bandits from the path and started a fight with a fallen head.

Xu Zhiyan could hear the shouts coming from so far away.

It seemed that she could still vaguely hear the sound of some blades clashing, and her heart lifted high with these sounds.

"Will we win this battle?"

She didn't know the art of war, and she didn't know how to analyze the battle situation, so she subconsciously asked Xu Yanqing, who studied this field, for help.

Xu Yanqing looked solemn.

"Definitely win."

You can only win.

"Nanny, stay here while I go to assist Your Highness."

After saying this, without waiting for her to answer, he took a few people with him and quickly approached the battlefield. Xu Zhiyan looked around, gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, calling Huayi and Zhang Yiyuan to follow Xu Yanqing's footsteps.

Although Zhang Yiyuan followed her, he was still sensible and pulled her back when she was about to rush into the battlefield.

"I brought you here because I know that you won't be in a good mood and will be scared if you stay there, but it doesn't mean that I can watch you play! The battlefield is changing rapidly, and if you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces. You just need to stay here. .”

Xu Zhiyan was extremely anxious.

"I can really help!"

As she spoke, she took out the hundred-shot crossbow given by Xu Fugui and showed others its use on the spot.

Short arrows are like shooting stars.

He rushed into the battlefield unstoppably and accurately hit the heart of a bandit who was fighting with Li Wenjin. The bandit died on the spot.

Xu Zhiyan looked at Zhang Yiyuan.

"Look, I can help!"

Zhang Yiyuan remained unmoved.

"One hit does not mean that it will be the same every time in the future. Miss Xu, with all due respect, the biggest help you can do now is to protect yourself and don't focus on getting into the field."

There is a limit to the number of times you can use the hundred-shot crossbow.

Xu Zhiyan really couldn't guarantee that every next arrow would hit, so she was discouraged and squatted in the grass depressedly, staring at the battle in front of her without saying a word.

Suddenly, her eyes widened.

She subconsciously raised her crossbow and shot two arrows in one breath, breaking the circle that trapped Xu Yanqing. But when she turned around and saw Li Wenjin, her heart that had just been relieved was lifted again.

The first action was to raise the crossbow, but the number of times she could hit it with perfect accuracy had been used up. Now her hit rate was not as good as that of the most ordinary soldier.

She gritted her teeth and moved faster than her brain. Under the eyes of Zhang Yiyuan and Hua, she quickly ducked out and used her body as a shield to block Li Wenjin's blow.

Li Wenjin's eyes were about to burst.

"Zhiyan!"
