After Li Erzhu and Xiao Shitou obtained the cold spring water according to Fu Tianpeng's instructions, they returned to the camp and handed it over to Liu Mengrou. Liu Mengrou tried her best to save Xu Changhai and put him out of danger. Yue Fei and the generals were overjoyed and thanked Liu Mengrou repeatedly.
During the process of rescuing people, Li Erzhu and Xiao Shitou were surprised to find that Liu Mengrou's appearance was very similar to Lan Xin from Baixi Village. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that there were two such similar people in the world.
What Li Erzhu and Xiao Shitou said aroused Liu Mengrou's interest, and she asked them about Lan Xin's situation.
Xiao Shitou cleared his throat and told Liu Mengrou that Lan Xin was the daughter of Carpenter Lan in Baixi Village. She was not only outstanding in appearance, but also virtuous and virtuous. He is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and knitting. Now that she was sixteen years old, many gentry and celebrities from far and near wanted to take her as their concubine. However, Carpenter Lan wanted to marry his daughter to Zhang Xiucai. Lan Xin herself is also willing. Because Zhang Xiucai's knowledge and character are obvious to all.
Liu Mengrou nodded and praised: "The talent and appearance of the man and the woman are indeed a match made in heaven."
However, Xiao Shitou's face was filled with gloom and gloom, and he sighed quietly. Then he told everyone about Lan Xin helplessly.
It turns out that there is a Bailang Village less than a hundred miles away from Baixi Village in the southeast. There are nearly three hundred bandits living in this village. These bandits often broke into surrounding villages to steal property. Not only that, the gangsters also robbed men and women, killed people and set fires. You can do bad things and lose all your conscience. Recently, their village leader came down the mountain and accidentally discovered Lan Xin. The evil thief threw two gold bars to Carpenter Lan and asked him to prepare a dowry for his daughter and put on new clothes on the fifteenth day of this month. Want to come to the door to welcome the bride.
Carpenter Lan was not willing to push his daughter into the pit of fire, but the leader of the village was so evil that he threatened Lan Carpenter that if he did not obey him, he would kill Zhang Xiucai's family and leave his daughter a widow.
After listening to Xiao Shitou's story, everyone present became furious. They couldn't wait to rush into Bailang Village immediately and kill this gang of evildoers with their own hands.
Liu Mengrou was so angry that her delicate flowers trembled, and her eyebrows stood up. She flicked the sword out of its sheath, and a ray of light shot into the autumn water. He told everyone categorically that he would personally get rid of these evil bandits.
Immediately, Liu Mengrou bid farewell to Yue Fei. Yue Fei knew what she was thinking, and immediately asked the soldiers to fetch a good horse for her, and also prepared a package of dry food and water bags. Xu Changhai was grateful for Liu Mengrou's life-saving grace and said that he and the Beggar Gang would do their best to help Miss Liu defeat the thieves and destroy the bandits.
Liu Mengrou expressed her gratitude to him. After all, this was a matter of swords and blood, and she didn't want innocent people to get involved.
Seeing that Liu Mengrou had made up her mind, everyone couldn't say anything else. Tell her to be careful along the way.
Liu Mengrou, wearing the stars and the moon, rode quickly on horseback and soon arrived at Baixi Village.
After arriving there, Liu Mengrou found out where Lan Carpenter's family lived and went straight to his house.
There was a knock on the door, and Carpenter Lan, who came to open the door, immediately stood there as if he had lost his soul.
Liu Mengrou's pretty face was like the beginning of a begonia blooming. She smiled brightly and said to Carpenter Lan, "Old man, a traveler would like to stay with you for one night."
Carpenter Lan calmed down and quickly let Liu Mengrou into the house.
At this moment, four people were sitting in front of a simple broken wooden table. Two old men and a young man and woman.
These four people all looked gloomy and full of sorrow. The girl sitting next to the young man still sobbed softly from time to time.
Carpenter Lan said to Liu Mengrou: "Girl, my family has encountered misfortune and I did not provide good hospitality. Please forgive me."
Liu Mengrou smiled and then went straight to Lan Xin. At this time, everyone present looked at Lan Xin in surprise after seeing Liu Mengrou. These people really couldn't imagine that the two of them seemed to be carved out of the same mold. But compared to Lan Xin's tenderness, Liu Mengrou looked even colder and aloof.
Seeing a visitor coming, the Lan family restrained their sadness and greeted Liu Mengrou warmly. Liu Mengrou went straight to the point, and everyone explained the purpose of her visit.
Liu Mengrou's words were like a life-saving straw for the Lan family. Carpenter Lan burst into tears and said to Liu Mengrou: "Woman, your high righteousness and deep affection will be deeply appreciated by me. I will definitely repay you in the future. of great kindness."
Liu Mengrou helped Lan Carpenter up and told him to hide Lan Xin. Everything at home is as usual, and we must not let outsiders see the flaws.
Just as Liu Mengrou was discussing countermeasures with the Lan family, there was another hurried knock on the door.
Carpenter Lan is like a frightened bird at this moment. When he sees an outsider coming, don't be so nervous that he doesn't know what to do. Liu Mengrou asked him to just open the door and let her handle everything.
After Carpenter Lan opened the door again, there were two knights, a man and a woman, standing outside the door. The man is dressed in the soft blue brocade of "Liu Yun Chu Hai" and has a green front on his back. He is handsome and suave. The woman is wearing a hazy silk dress, holding a sword in her hand, looking delicate and charming. The two men clasped their fists and saluted Lan Carpenter to express their intention to stay overnight. Seeing that they were well-behaved and polite, Lan Carpenter invited them into the house.
After the two entered the house, Liu Mengrou saw them and said in surprise: "Brother Tianpeng, Miss Zhao, why are you here?"
Zhao Xueqing smiled slightly, pointed at Fu Tianpeng and said, "Brother Tianpeng is concerned about your safety, so he asked me to go down the mountain with him to find you."
Zhao Xueqing's words made Fu Tianpeng's handsome face immediately embarrassed. His face turned red and he almost wanted to argue, but he didn't know where to start.
Liu Mengrou raised her eyes and stared at Fu Tianpeng, her beautiful eyes like autumn water filled with affection. Zhao Xueqing coughed lightly, and then said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, take Miss Liu around the area and carefully survey the surrounding terrain, so that you can use the geographical advantage to eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop. I will carefully consider the methods of resisting the enemy with Uncle Lan and the others. Strategies to see if there are any improvements.”
Zhao Xueqing's understanding made Liu Mengrou feel like a spring breeze. She smiled back at Zhao Xueqing and then looked back at Fu Tianpeng.
The two of them left the house and strolled around Baixi Village. Liu Mengrou stretched out her delicate jade fingers and gently held Fu Tianpeng's hand.
Fu Tianpeng felt a warm current pouring into his palm, and he immediately held Liu Mengrou's hand tightly. At this time, a bright moon leaped into the sky, casting a silver light over the vast land.
Liu Mengrou looked up at Chanjuan and said casually: "I hope we will live together for a long time and share the beauty of Chanjuan for thousands of miles."
After reciting the poem, Liu Mengrou gently leaned her head on Fu Tianpeng's arms, her words full of tenderness. Liu Mengrou said softly: "Brother Tianpeng, I am very lucky to have met you and Miss Zhao. If we are destined, I really hope to travel with you forever."
Fu Tianpeng felt Liu Mengrou's sentimentality and stretched out his arms to hold her tightly in his arms.
Feeling the strong and powerful care of her beloved man, a crystal tear rolled down from the corner of Liu Mengrou's eyes.
After some time passed, Liu Mengrou said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, it's getting late, we should go back."
After the two returned to Carpenter Lan's home, they told Zhao Xueqing the surrounding terrain. Zhao Xueqing then drew a map based on the description. She asked Fu Tianpeng to lead the strong men of the village to ambush on the high ground to the east of the village, preparing crossbows and stones to attack the enemies who might flee. In order to ensure that the leader of the White Wolf Village could be wiped out or captured, Zhao Xueqing brought a group of experts to use ropes, hooks and other tools to dig pits for the bandits on their way back to the mountain. The traps were widely covered with caltrops.
After Zhao Xueqing considered and perfected the strategy, everyone nodded, praising the strategy for being thorough and meticulous and watertight.
Everything is ready now, just waiting for the bad guys to fall into the trap. The Lan family received help from three knights, and the dark clouds in their hearts were swept away. They killed chickens and sheep, prepared fine wine and delicacies, and entertained them warmly.
The days are coming quickly in a blink of an eye, and tonight is the fifteenth. According to the plan, Liu Mengrou disguised herself as Lan Xin and waited in the new house, waiting for the leader of the White Wolf Village to come in and prepare to subdue the criminals with force.
That night, a black cloud spread from the west and soon enveloped the entire sky. The remaining light of the bright moon was also swallowed up by the thick lead cloud. There was a loud sound of wind everywhere, frightening away a partridge that was resting deep in the forest.
On this dark and windy autumn night, there is a chilling atmosphere everywhere.
At this time, Baixi Village was silent, except for the sound of rapid horse tracks coming from the trail on the east side.
The leader of Bailang Village led a hundred or so men, holding torches, and galloped all the way to the door of Carpenter Lan's house.
One of the minions standing in front of the team, squinting his rat eyes, said to the leader of the village with a wicked smile: "Master of the village, wait for the young one to come and open the door."
At this time, the leader of Bailang Village grabbed his back and threw him to the ground like a chicken.
Then the leader of Bailang Village snorted and said, "I'm going to my father-in-law's house, why do you need to knock on the door?"
The leader of Bailang Village said something and kicked open the wooden door of Carpenter Lan's house. While shouting "Lan Xin"'s name loudly, he walked to the west wing as if there was no one else around.
The west wing was brightly lit, and the word "happiness" was painted on the door and windows. When the leader of Bailang Village saw the decoration inside and outside the house, his mind was shaken and his soul wandered to the sky.
He grinned like a toad and yelled, "Lan Xin, madam, I'm coming."
A moment of spring night, a wonderful time. The minions outside heard the village leader running around and shouting inside, and an evil smile appeared on their faces.
However, what they were waiting for was not the village master's elation. As cups and bowls were broken to the ground, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the west wing.
When some of the minions saw this, they picked up their weapons and wanted to enter the house. At this time, someone shouted: "We don't want to go in and disturb the good things of the village owner. This must be the village owner and his wife competing in martial arts, so as to add interest to the wedding night."
After the man finished speaking, the man who had just wanted to go in stood up again. They nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, there is such a story when Liu Bei married Mrs. Sun during the Three Kingdoms period."
Just as the minions were chatting and talking, another scream of "Ah!" came from the room, and then the leader of the White Wolf Village was kicked out of the door.
Liu Mengrou held the Leng Yue Sword in her hand, her pretty eyes filled with murderous intent. The leader of the White Wolf Village covered his chest with his hands, pointed at Liu Mengrou with a painful expression and said, "You...you...you are not Lan Xin, who are you?"
Liu Mengrou replied indifferently: "You deserve to know my name, so just die."
The cold moon shines coldly, and dragons dance across the sea. The sharp blade of the Lengyue Sword was unsheathed, and a white light was as fast as a meteor, stabbing straight into the chest of the leader of the White Wolf Village.
The leader of White Wolf Village was frightened and pierced through the heart by Liu Mengrou's sword.
The minions waiting at the door realized that something unexpected had happened to the village leader, and they immediately ran to the east of the village. When they got there, Fu Tianpeng led the strong men to surround these villains. After a brief confrontation, all the criminals were arrested and captured.
After Fu Tianpeng won, he sent a signal to Zhao Xueqing. Zhao Xueqing then led people to attack Bailang Village and wipe out all the remaining bandits inside.
After the banditry was eliminated, the villagers of Baixi came to express their gratitude to the three knights. The men, women and children in the village chatted, sang and danced around the bonfire, unable to conceal their joy.
But just as everyone was immersed in happiness, a man in the distance carrying a long sword glanced at the leader of the White Wolf Village who had fallen on the ground and died for a long time. He clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth: "Snow-cold plums and Liu Mengrou, It’s really lonely and cold.”
After saying this, he flew towards the dense forest and suddenly disappeared like a spiritual ape.
