Su Rong raised her eyes, looked at Zhou Gu, and pointed to the roast rabbit in front of him, "Do you want to eat it?"
Zhou Gu: "..."
He glanced at her secret guards who were fighting around Zhang Mao, and then at the secret guards he brought with him. There were a thousand of them in total. Zhang Mao could hardly fly today.
He didn't need to do anything anymore. He walked up to her and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here? Did you expect Zhang Mao to pass by here? Are you here to block him?"
"I'm not that clever, it's just a coincidence." Su Rong tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to him.
Zhou Gu took it, "I happened to be hungry. I spent the whole night looking for this grandson in the mountains. However, the Eighteenth Village was too big. I didn't expect that after finding two secret passages, there was a third secret passage. He escaped through the secret passage."
He asked somewhat depressedly: "Am I useless? There are 30,000 soldiers and horses, plus my own people led by Ningchi and I, but we couldn't catch him."
"There are three secret passages in the Eighteenth Village?" Su Rong clicked his tongue, "No wonder it is called the famous Eighteenth Village in Nanping."
She wanted to reach out and pat Zhou Gu, but when she reached halfway, she realized that her greasy claws were really not suitable for reaching out to damage other people's fine clothes, so she quickly took it back, "People make mistakes, horses make mistakes, not to mention he is Zhang Mao. , is not an ordinary person, Zhang Ping has a lot of children, but the legitimate son who is the most respected, of course he has his own merits. Compared with his father, he is better than his master. It doesn't matter if you didn't catch him for a while, After all, the Eighteenth Village is really big, isn’t it? There are endless mountains and eighteen hilltops, how can it be so easy to find someone?”
Zhou Gu whispered: "You really know how to comfort me."
Su Rong said: "Even if I am not here to guard, it will only take a cup of tea to catch up with you. You have many people and you are riding a fast horse. Zhang Mao can only run five miles at most. You can still catch up." Catch him and stop him."
She regretted a little, "I worked with Fengling yesterday to remove the hidden piles in Nanping City, and I was a little tired after working all night. When I walked here, I saw the lush mountains and forests in front of me, and I thought that I should have a rabbit nest, so I decided to come here. Roast a rabbit to eat, who would have thought, but bumped into him. If I had known, he would have kept it for you, there is no way I would have roasted a rabbit here, I would rather be hungry."
Zhou Gu: "..."
He was originally very depressed, but now when he heard what she said, he couldn't help but feel relieved and suddenly became happy, "If that's the case, I still have to work hard to chase him. I might as well let you be so blind as to hit a dead mouse and stop him just in time." It saves me some energy."
He was also hungry and munched on the rabbit legs. "Tell me about this Mao, why is he so unlucky? Who would it be bad to meet? Even if I catch up, it would be better than meeting you."
At least, his secret guards were not as powerful and versatile as hers. Look, they were crushing Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping's face was almost turning an earthy color, and his look of despair was really relieving.
Fengling and his men tied up Zhang Mao, but Ziye and his men didn't get involved at all.
After Fengling tied up Zhang Mao, she discovered that the two of them had eaten up all the roast rabbit. He stared at Su Rong with a sad look on his face, "Sister, why didn't you leave some for me?"
Su Rong innocently shifted the responsibility to Zhou Gu, "Ask him."
Fengling looked at Zhou Gu with sad eyes.
Zhou Gu touched his nose and said, "Well, should I ask someone to bake you two more?" He said sheepishly, "I'm hungry too."
"Forget it." Fengling murmured softly, "I know that as long as you are here, my sister will not miss me."
Zhou Gu didn't hear what he said clearly, so he stood up and approached him, "Fengling, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
Feng Ling coughed and said, "Nothing. I mean, should this person be killed? Or should he be locked up?"
After he finished speaking, he pointed at Zhang Mao.
Zhang Mao was in a sorry state, with an earthy look on his face.
Zhou Gu thought for a moment and said, "Lock him up!" He turned to Su Rong and asked, "What do you think?"
"Yeah." Su Rong had no objection. It would be more useful to keep Zhang Mao than to kill him now.
Advisor Zhou: "Then let him be handed over to you first? Take it back to the Nanping Marquis Mansion. I'm going back to the Eighteenth Village to help Ningchi finish the work."
"Okay." Su Rong nodded.
So, Zhou Gu led the people back to the Eighteenth Village, and Su Rong waved to Fengling, "You lead the people back to the Nanping Marquis Mansion, lock him up properly, and I will lead the people to investigate."
Fengling looked at Su Rong, "Sister, shouldn't I lead the investigation and you take him back to the Nanping Marquis Mansion and lock him up?"
She has to do the hard work.
"Aren't you not full, and are you still hungry? I'm full, so naturally I have to work more." Su Rong said matter-of-factly: "Go back, Fu Zhou is coming with me, he's not much worse than your martial arts skills. "
Fei Ling chuckled, "That's right, then I'll take him back, so be careful."
He suddenly felt that it would be beneficial not to eat the rabbit, as it would save him from more fatigue.
Su Rong nodded.
As a result, the secret guards were divided into two. Fengling took half of the secret guards back to the Nanping Hou Mansion, and Su Rong took half of the secret guards to continue tracing the hidden stakes along the line. She will remove all hidden piles in Nanping's land.
Zhou Gu returned to the Eighteenth Village and saw that the shouts of killing had stopped. More than ten people including Chen Qi, Lin Hai, Feng Jiang, etc., all of whom were prominent figures in the Eighteenth Village, had been kidnapped. Jiang Zhu and more than a dozen people around him had been kidnapped. He was not tied up, his clothes were not stained with blood, and even his hair was not messed up. At the time of the incident, the eleventh village he was in charge of did not take action against the soldiers of the imperial court. Like him, there were several other villages. The owner of the village.
They didn't take action, so Ning Chi naturally treated them politely.
After all, this is not a bandit suppression that the court wants to completely eradicate, but an attempt to recruit peace and peaceful settlement of the Eighteen Villages to prevent the Eighteen Villages from following the Pingxi General's Mansion in northern Hebei to rebel against the imperial court.
Seeing Zhou Gu coming back empty-handed, Ning Chi was stunned, "Didn't you catch anyone?"
"Got it." Zhou Gu was in a good mood, "Zhang Mao was unlucky. He took the wrong escape route. He happened to meet Su Rong who was roasting rabbits in the mountains and hit her head. Naturally, he couldn't run away. I didn't put in much effort. , she kidnapped Zhang Mao and returned to the Nanping Marquis Mansion, and I will come back to help you deal with the aftermath."
Ning Chi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "On this cold day, Miss Su Qi is roasting rabbits in the wild?"
Zhou Gu said: "She is here to pull out the hidden stakes of the Nangong family of Wei, Northern Hebei, and Southern Chu in Nanping." He said angrily: "You are the prince of Nanping Hou. You have lived in Nanping since you were a child, but you don't Do you know that there are so many hidden stakes buried in your own territory?"
Ning Chi sighed, "I know, but I can't dig them out easily. Those hidden piles are all buried secretly." After saying this, he was surprised, "Miss Su Qi has only been in Nanping for a few days, and she dug out those hidden piles?"
"Three days." Zhou Gu said, "Thirteen hidden stakes, dozens of people."
Ning Chi took a breath of cold air.
Zhou Gu looked at him and said, "Okay, let's get to work. Go back early. It will take three days at most. There will be some movement in Northern Hebei."
Ning Chi woke up and nodded.
