A group of sycophants, an arrogant and domineering dude, with a few words of encouragement, actually shot and killed a desperado who was being hunted by thousands of troops from the imperial court.
The whole Weinan County was in chaos. No one expected that the desperado whom everyone was chasing would be beaten as prey by a dude.
Chu Sanlang's body was placed in front of Xue Ne. Xue Ne's face was pale, his body was trembling, and his expression was no longer as arrogant as before.
"I, I, I... killed someone?" Xue Ne said tremblingly.
The faces of the tribesmen also turned pale.
Shao Langjun accidentally killed someone, and their fate would not be better.
"Yes, is it...a banker nearby?" one of the people said quietly.
Xue Ne lamented: "It's over! My life is over! What is this bastard doing lying in the grass on a cold night? He's going to kill me! How many years will he have to squat in Dali Temple?"
Another Buqu said with a mournful face: "Young Master, maybe you are not squatting in Dali Temple, but wandering thousands of miles..."
The crowd fell into silence and the atmosphere was very subdued.
Finally, a sharp-eyed Buqu took a closer look at the corpse and whispered: "Young Master, something is wrong..."
"What's wrong?" Xue Ne suddenly had hope: "He is actually a rabbit, right?"
"Well, that doesn't mean..." Bu Qu pointed at the corpse and said, "Young Master, this corpse is covered with scars. It seems that it has just experienced a fight. Moreover, he has a knife in his hand, and there are many gaps and curls on the blade. , the fighting should be quite fierce..."
Xue Na said in confusion: "What do you mean? He is not a nearby banker?"
"It can't be a banker!" Buqu said categorically: "There is a knife and injuries. How can any banker look like this?"
Xue Ne's eyes lit up: "Could it be that..."
Bu Qu excitedly but cautiously continued: "Could it be that... he is the thief we have been searching for so hard but can't find him?"
Xue Na praised: "Your idea is very bold, but it suits me very well!"
Another Buqu also said excitedly: "So, Young Master was invincible with his arrows just now and killed the thief with one arrow?"
Xue Ne stared at the corpse for a long time, then nodded affirmatively: "From my experience, it must be the thief."
Although the subordinates didn't know where this young man's experience came from, they still swarmed him and gave him powerful flattery blows.
"Congratulations to Mr. Young Master, Mr. Young Master is invincible with his magical arrows and can kill powerful enemies!"
"In front of you, there is the general who pinned the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows, and in the back there is the young master who kills the thieves with one arrow. My Xue family is full of martial virtue, and each generation becomes stronger than the last!"
"Young Master is going to kill this powerful enemy. We must ride on horseback and parade through the streets to show your majesty!"
Amidst the flood of flattery, Xue Ne gradually became smug, and suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed: "I, Xue Ne, am indeed not a thing in the pool! Gao Qi, Gao Qi, from now on you are going to call me brother, so just ask Are you convinced?"
"Come here, carry the thief's body and go to a nearby village to get some gongs and drums. Let's beat the gongs and drums all the way back to Chang'an!"
The tribesmen responded one after another, carried the body and left.
Xue Ne rode triumphantly in front, and Buqu followed behind in a flood of flattery. Chu Sanlang's corpse was held high in the center of the team, like a New Year pig enshrined in an ancestral hall.
No matter how you look at it, this team looks like a rabble, and the team is full of chaos.
But look at their results...
The man couldn't help but cry silently while the woman cried.
…………
Li Qinzai has been standing at the entrance of the village, walking around restlessly, waiting for news from the front.
For two days, the imperial troops and the villagers from powerful families searched Weinan County upside down, but still could not find the gangsters.
Li Qinzai's mood became increasingly heavy.
He knew that the longer time passed, the more dangerous the situation for Qiao'er and Cui Jie would be. Whether it was disaster relief or hostage rescue, there was always golden time for rescue.
If the golden rescue time is missed, the probability of survival will become smaller and smaller.
Two days is the limit.
Guanshi Song brought a bowl of batter and sighed: "Fifth Young Master, you haven't eaten for a day. Eat a little. Don't starve your body. Otherwise, Young Master will come back safely, but you will collapse..."
Li Qinzai waved his hand impatiently: "Take it away, don't eat it!"
After thinking for a while, Li Qinzai said again: "Manager Song, prepare a horse for me. I want to return to Chang'an to see the emperor."
Manager Song was surprised and asked: "Fifth Young Master is returning to Chang'an to meet the Emperor at this time. Could it be that..."
Li Qinzai said coldly: "Please ask the emperor to mobilize more troops. Not only Weinan County, but also the neighboring counties must be searched. It has been two days, enough for the thieves to escape from Weinan. Our eyes cannot only focus on Weinan." "
Manager Song hurriedly agreed. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from in front of the village entrance, and he couldn't help but pause.
When Li Qinzai heard the sound of horse hooves, his heart skipped a beat and he stared ahead anxiously.
A fast horse galloped over, and the knight on the horse was Buqu of the Li family.
Buqu looked excited. As soon as the horse arrived in front of Li Qinzai, he jumped down, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "Fifth Young Master, we have found him!"
Li Qinzai was shaken all over and asked in a trembling voice: "Are Qiao'er and Miss Cui okay?"
Bu Qu said excitedly: "Little Langjun and Miss Cui are fine. Although they were a little frightened, they were not injured."
Li Qinzai felt relieved. He staggered a few times and almost fell down. Fortunately, he was supported by Manager Song on the side.
"Okay! Haha, okay!" Li Qinzai suddenly laughed: "Who found it? A big reward!"
"It's Lao Wei in our Zhuangzi," Bu Qu said with sincere admiration.
"A veteran is indeed a veteran. He refused to accept it. From selecting the search location, to searching for clues all the way, and finally setting an ambush at the place where the thief must pass, Mr. Wei calculated everything accurately and fatally. Finally, he intercepted the thief before he fled to the neighboring county. We killed them and successfully rescued Qiao'er and Miss Cui."
Li Qinzai was surprised and said: "I didn't expect Old Wei to be so capable. I always thought he was just an ordinary honest old farmer after he was discharged and returned to the fields."
Bu Qu said with shame: "I thought so too, but it wasn't until Mr. Wei showed off his abilities all the way that I truly admired him."
Li Qinzai's face grew colder: "Where are those thieves?"
Buqu sighed: "Three of the four thieves died under our formation and siege, but the remaining bandit leader ran away..."
Li Qinzai hummed and said, "I don't blame you. You tried your best, and Old Wei also tried his best. Just save him, and I will reward you and Old Wei generously later. I will repay you later for the kindness of saving your son."
I don't dare to talk about it.
After knowing that Qiao'er and Cui Jie were fine, Li Qinzai suddenly felt light and relieved. He turned around and said loudly: "Manager Song, sent a quick horse to tell the searching guards and various villagers that they have been rescued. Thank you for your help." Li Qin will report after he has arrived, and prepare a carriage for me, and I will go meet them!"
After Chu Sanlang robbed Cui Jie and Qiao'er, he actually only ran away for more than 20 miles, not far from Ganjing Village.
Under Li Qinzai's urging, the coachman drove faster and quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain.
There was a bonfire on the withered yellow grass ahead. Old Wei bought a leg of lamb from an unknown village nearby and was roasting the leg of lamb for Cui Jie and Qiao'er. He laughed while roasting, still looking honest and honest.
Li Qinzai jumped out of the carriage, and Qiao'er saw it with her sharp eyes. She couldn't help but be overjoyed. Her little body immediately rushed over, opened her arms and shouted happily: "Dad——!"
Li Qinzai came up to him and hugged him. Feeling the temperature of his body and the slight smell of milk, he hugged him tighter and tighter, with a scared look on his face.
"Qiao'er has suffered. Dad will protect you from now on, for sure!" Li Qinzai murmured.
Qiao'er was so happy that she didn't seem to be afraid at all. Instead, she said with a smile, "Dad, Qiao'er isn't afraid. It's just a bit cold on the mountain, but my aunt held me and it stopped the cold."
Then Qiao'er suddenly showed a worried expression and said cautiously: "Dad, I seem to have gotten into trouble. I played with fire and burned down the house..."
Li Qinzai was stunned: "Burn down the house?"
"Well, it's just the bad guy's house." Qiao'er cautiously tried: "The bad guy's house was burned down, so he shouldn't be whipped, right?"
Li Qinzai said with a relaxed expression: "It doesn't matter if the bad guy burns a few more rooms. Dad won't whip you."
Qiao'er became happy again, pointed at Cui Jie not far away, and said: "Dad, you have to thank my aunt this time. She has been protecting me. Just now in the forest, the bad guy almost killed me, but it was my aunt who stopped me." In front of me.”
Li Qinzai was startled again, stood up, picked up Qiao'er, and walked towards Cui Jie. Only then did he ask with concern: "Miss Cui, are you okay? You were frightened."
Cui Jie lowered her head and hummed slightly, her face becoming a little rosy under the firelight.
