After all, they were going to kill people and set fires. Wei Qingyan and his party kept a low profile.
After dark, we found a nearby inn to stay and set off again before dawn.
In this way, we arrived near Hubao Ridge on the afternoon of the third day.
"I'll go explore first. You guys can get some food here and wait for me when I come back." Wei Qingyan told Yan Lan and the guards.
Yan Lan was worried, "I'll go with you."
Wei Qingyan looked at Yan Lan's worried eyes and said warmly, "Be obedient, eat and drink enough, and get a good rest. Those people can't do anything to me."
Although Yan Lan was two years older than her, Wei Qingyan had always considered himself a man before, and she believed that it was only natural for men to protect women.
In front of Yan Lan, she has long been accustomed to treating herself as a protector.
Yan Lan was about to say something else, but Wei Qingyan jumped far away on his tiptoes, followed closely by King Rong.
She swallowed her unspoken words, her eyes still filled with worry.
Seeing this, Jingzhe comforted her in a low voice, "Miss Chang's skills are superior to Yan Qing's, and my master is following her, so don't worry."
During these days in the Anyuan Hou Mansion, Xiaoxiao praised Miss Chang's skills in front of Yan Lan more than once. Yan Lan didn't know what Xiaoxiao said was that Miss Chang's skills were better than her brother's.
After hearing Jingzhe's words, the worry in his heart faded a little, "Miss Chang is a good person, and so are you."
Jingzhe nodded in agreement.
This Wei Qingyan easily touched the mountain stronghold in Hubaoling.
Shi Yu hid his surprise in his eyes, landed next to her, and whispered, "This village doesn't look big."
Wei Qingyan no longer thought about why he wanted to follow, and said softly, "There are about fifty people, most of them escaped here after committing crimes.
On weekdays, they frequently rob homes and houses, block roads and rob, and humiliate women from good families. "
"Are they colluding with the government?"
Shi Yu suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask her why she knew so clearly.
Wei Qingyan nodded.
If it weren't for the government's connivance, how could such a cottage with dozens of people dare to be so rampant.
Without an intermediary, how could Luo Chengzhou from Linzhou have found them and staged such a scene of robbery on the road.
That day, in the obsession of the bandits, she saw a picture of harmony between officials and bandits.
These bandits are tools for local officials to make money and are also their killers.
"Does the girl still want to kill the people who colluded with the bandits?"
yes!
To punish evil is to promote good.
The fat monk always said that she was being unreasonable, but he never really stopped her, and even condoned it secretly.
Only when the evildoer dies can more innocent people be prevented from suffering.
She answered with silence, and did not ask Shi Yu whether King Rong of the Wei Dynasty would stop him or advise her to act in accordance with the laws of the Wei Dynasty.
Even if Shi Yu stopped and persuaded him like this, she understood.
Wei Qingyan, the former general who protected the country, was also loyal to the imperial court and trusted the imperial court.
But after traveling around with the fat monk, she realized that sometimes, the law did not protect the people. Many truly innocent people would not get justice until their death.
And those who do evil can still get away with it.
"Girl, would you like to take me with you?" Shi Yu's dark eyes were filled with coldness, "If the local officials really colluded with the bandits to commit evil, they should be punished."
Wei Qingyan turned to look at him, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I will do my best regarding Dajue Temple, but it will take time."
This man was too cooperative, and she even suspected that he had other motives.
Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.
In that smile, beneath the picturesque skin, the most beautiful and charming figure spilled out.
Wei Qingyan shook his head.
She had always known that Shi Yu was good-looking, but when she was a man, she had never thought of the word good-looking about him.
Wei Qingyan looked away.
In my heart, I despised myself for being hopeless. A familiar face that I had seen since I was a child was so amazing.
Immediately, he ducked into one of the rooms.
Shi Yu took in all her expressions and stayed outside with a smile on his face to look out for her.
The cottage is not big or complicated.
But it has always been her habit to explore the enemy's situation before fighting.
Wei Qingyan turned around and found that there were only a dozen people in the village.
The rest of them probably got the mission and went down the mountain to rob the road.
After finding out what was going on inside, she returned to the resting place of Yan Lan and others.
When Yan Lan saw someone coming, she hurriedly handed over a roasted rabbit leg.
Wei Qingyan took it, took a bite, swallowed it, and then told everyone what he had discovered.
Mainly for Yan Lan.
In this revenge killing, she is the home...
Under the night, many torches were lit in the bandit's den. Dozens of bandits were telling dirty jokes, drinking wine, and making fists, making a lot of noise.
Two screams rang out in succession, bringing the commotion to an abrupt end.
After a moment of silence, the one-eyed man in the main seat stood up and threw the bowl in his hand on the ground, "Brothers, someone is breaking into the mountain and looting the guy."
The other bandits threw their bowls with ferocious expressions. Before they could pick up their weapons, a figure was kicked in and hit the table with the roasted lamb in the hall. The table was torn into pieces.
Then more than a dozen people came in with swords.
The leader was a woman with her hair in a woman's bun. Among the dozen or so people, she was the only one who did not cover her face with a scarf.
He half-squinted his one eye to see clearly the woman's appearance, then looked at the lifeless third master on the ground, his eyelids twitched, and he said angrily, "You bitch, you are so lucky, you dare to lead people into the mountains, I kill you."
The other bandits also reacted, picked up the guy and started killing Wei Qingyan and others.
It is not that there are no talented people among them, but Du Xueyi carefully selected the top ten people in his house to Wei Qingyan.
The bandits are ferocious, and the guards who have followed Du Xueyi on the battlefield are not taking it easy.
Wei Qingyan was always guarding Yan Lan. Shi Yu was walking behind Wei Qingyan like a leisurely stroll, holding his hands against the bandit's attacks and keeping an eye on Wei Qingyan.
The one-eyed man's skills were superior to Yan Lan's, but he fought Yan Lan dozens of times and failed to injure her. Instead, he was kicked away several times by Wei Qingyan.
All the internal organs seemed to have shifted.
People who are used to being domineering in the mountains, how can they bear this humiliation, and their mouths become unclean, "Smelly bitch, now you have found a helper, you have become arrogant.
You were pinned down by me earlier, and you were beaten in turn by the brothers in the village, but you were so pitiful. I think you were still beaten less. When I kill these people, I will torture you to death..."
"Beast, I will take your life first..." Duyan's words completely angered Yan Lan, and also brought back those nightmare-like memories that she dared not recall.
Anger, shame, disgust, terror, pain and other emotions welled up in his heart and turned into fierceness.
She made repeated moves, and with Wei Qingyan escorting her behind her, the one-eyed man was quickly stabbed in the heart by her.
Pull the sword out, stab it again, pull it out, stab it again, once, twice, three times...
Lone Wolf's chest was like mud and he was completely breathless.
Yan Lan held the sword with both hands and swung it hard, directly cutting off his head, along with the bone-gnawing hatred and embarrassment in her heart.
Immediately turned around and rushed towards another one...
In less than half an hour, all the villains were dead except for the second master in Jingzhe's hands.
"Spare...spare my life...my hero, spare your life..." A strange smell hit his nose, and the captured second master peed his pants.
Jingzhe carried the man out of the house with a bright light, and two guards from the Anyuan Hou Mansion followed him out.
Jingzhe and the other three people quickly turned back, "I told you that half of these people were originally death row criminals. They were secretly released by the county magistrate and became mountain bandits, obeying the county magistrate's instructions..."
As expected, Shi Yu looked at Wei Qingyan.
