But it's useless to be angry. Her brother is in the hands of others and she doesn't dare to be tough. The little girl has no choice but to lead people back and stay in a nearby town, and then look for a place where she can exchange money for silver.
But after all, it was three thousand taels of silver. In a small town, who could come up with so much silver?
At noon, Zhou Quan also arrived. After meeting the little girl, Zhou Quan became very angry after hearing this request. He said angrily, "This is simply unreasonable. These bandits are deliberately making things difficult. Once they are caught, I can’t help but tear them into pieces.”
Despite the scolding, he still had to find a way. Zhou Quan ordered people to rush to the nearby county with the banknotes. After working for a long time, he finally collected the money.
But when we got it together, it was already dark.
After being repeatedly dissuaded by Zhou Quan, the little girl decided to go to Rooster Mountain early tomorrow morning.
At this time, Rooster Mountain.
Zhang Qiu also received news that a large number of troops were stationed in a town dozens of miles away.
Of course, Zhang Qiu also understood that this was for him. The grandson of the majestic imperial master was kidnapped and brought up the mountain by himself. Although the other party offered to redeem him with money, he obviously would not let it go.
After thinking about it, Zhang Qiu finally made up his mind. He gathered everyone together and began to assign tasks.
"Tonight, we will transport all the valuable things away to Chenjiagou, which is twenty miles away. The mountains and forests there are dense and it is easy to hide."
"The transportation must be completed before dawn. Tomorrow morning, you guys will go down the mountain to count the silver. After getting the silver, you will drive the carriage to the back mountain. Everyone will divide the silver and move away separately. As for the unlucky Fang Jun, just Stay on the mountain stronghold and let them find it on their own."
After the arrangement was completed, everyone praised Zhang Qiu for his excellent idea.
Zhang Qiu smiled and accepted the compliments from everyone, then waved his hand, "Okay, drink less tonight, go to work quickly, and remember to take away everything you can."
Everyone talked and laughed, then dispersed and started to get busy.
Early the next morning, the entire Rooster Mountain was almost wiped out.
As soon as everyone was about to have some breakfast, a secret sentry from the foot of the mountain came running up.
It was said that people had come to redeem people at the foot of the mountain. A carriage was pulling two large boxes, which should be filled with silver.
Zhang Qiu looked at the 100 people under his command. He smiled slightly, called seven or eight people over, and gave instructions, "You guys go down and count the silver. That means transporting the silver to the mountain and delivering the people back to them." Go down, then go to the back mountain, and the guys will get the money and leave as soon as possible!"
After all, the little girl still lacked experience in the world of martial arts. When she saw a few minions coming, she ordered her men to disperse, pulled out the carriage, and asked the bandits to come over and count the silver.
The bandit didn't have the intention to look carefully. When he saw it was silver, he immediately smiled and nodded, "Very good, one tael is not a lot. You wait here, we will transport the silver up and send the people down for you."
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be done by handing over money and handing over people. This little girl lacked experience, so she believed in these bandits.
Seeing the bandits driving the carriage to the back mountain, the little girl began to become a little impatient. She kept pacing back and forth, waiting left and right, waiting for a cup of tea, but there was no movement on the mountain. She couldn't wait any longer, and kept looking anxiously up the mountain, and then turned to ask Liu Si, "How long does it take to come down from the mountain?" How long do we have to go?”
Liu Si thought for a while, "It takes half a cup of tea at most."
"Miss, why don't we go up the mountain and greet the young master."
When the little girl heard that this made sense, she waved and led everyone up the mountain. As she walked, she looked around. It was quiet along the way, with no one around.
Under the leadership of Liu Si, everyone searched for the entrance of the cottage, but there was still no movement. Looking at the door of the bandit's cottage, it was open, with a lot of debris thrown inside. When the little girl saw this, she suddenly understood , dodged and ran away.
"Quick, go see if my brother is still there?"
Liu Si hurriedly searched inside the cottage and quickly found the place where Fang Jun was imprisoned.
Fang Jun and two other servants were holding on to the railing and looking out eagerly. When they saw Liu Si, they shouted loudly, "Liu Si, I'm here, I'm here."
Hearing the shout, the little girl rushed over, waved her long sword, and cut off the door lock with a click.
When the two brothers and sisters met, Fang Jun shed tears and said with emotion, "I really didn't expect to see you again."
"Brother, it's okay if you're fine. It's all your fault, these bandits."
Speaking of this, the little girl suddenly stomped her feet, "Oh, these bandits have escaped." After saying this, he turned to look at a servant behind him, "Quick, go and inform Captain Zhou that the bandits have escaped." , let him chase!"
"Why, Captain Zhou is here too?" Fang Jun asked with a question on his face.
The little girl explained the matter roughly, and Fang Jun nodded, "Yes, you are right. These bandits are really hateful, and we should catch them all to prevent them from harming the people again."
After receiving the news, Zhou Quan was a bit dumbfounded.
But after thinking about it, he also realized that since he lived in the town, it was inevitable that there would be eye spies from bandits. He was careless about this. Fortunately, Fang Jun was back, so he had no worries. He only had to follow the clues. Just follow it down.
Although Zhang Qiu made careful arrangements and ran away with the people.
But his little tricks couldn't hide Zhou Quan's sharp eyes, and soon Zhou Quan was following the messy footprints with everyone, and the little girl accompanied Fang Jun back to Wannian City.
Along the way, the brother and sister, eager to return home, traveled all night, and finally returned to Wannian City on the morning before the Chinese New Year.
Seeing Fang Jun's return, Fang Zheng, who had been worried for several days, was so excited that his eyes filled with tears, and he immediately ordered people to prepare a banquet.
Feng Pengju, who got the news, also came.
After meeting him, I felt extremely happy, after all, this was my son-in-law.
Princess Zhaoning was relieved after receiving the news at this time. As long as Fang Jun came back, it was only a matter of time for Zhou Quan to wipe out the bandits.
Princess Zhaoning was happy to be able to have Fang Jun return to the capital before the Chinese New Year. At least it would allow Fang Zheng and the others to have a stable and good New Year, and she would be able to let go of one of her worries.
At noon that day, Fang Jun was also very happy and drank a few more drinks as he went back and forth.
After drinking, it was natural to go back to the room to sleep, but until the sun turned to the west, the maid who was serving found that Fang Jun still had no intention of waking up. When she came forward to look at Fang Jun, his face was red and his head was sweating. She touched it with her hand and said, My head was terribly hot.
As soon as he heard that Fang Jun fell ill, Fang Zheng was naturally anxious. Fortunately, he was the former prime minister and now the national counselor, so he still had face. He asked someone to deliver the letter to the palace, and the imperial doctor came soon. , after diagnosing the pulse, the imperial doctor faced Fang Zheng, cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "Master Imperial Master, your grandson is frightened and his pulse is disordered. I'm afraid he will have to rest for a few days."
