    The torches illuminated the mountains, and the sad cries stopped. Several villagers took off their clothes, wrapped them around their relatives and carried them on their backs. The other dead were carried up and covered with the soldiers' clothes, waiting for their relatives to claim them.

    The women who survived the catastrophe and were rescued also felt much calmer and were able to follow them down the mountain on foot.

    "Let them go down the mountain first, and then let Zhang Xiaoqian go notify and inquire about their relatives." Yuan Ji said to Li Minglou.

    Li Minglou nodded, and the blind mad woman beside her who had been grabbing her arm also nodded. Li Minglou smiled at her. The blind mad woman couldn't see her face and wouldn't be afraid.

    "What are the arrangements with the government?" Yuan Ji asked in a low voice, still remembering that Li Minglou said that these bandits were the affairs of the officers and soldiers, although Li Minglou did not explain it further.

    ¡° If it was an officer or soldier, this would be a big deal. No matter how you investigate, it would involve a wide range of things, and Li Minglou would have to identify himself.

    Li Minglou shook his head: "Don't tell the government yet, let's take a look and think about it."

    The woman also shook her head.

    Li Minglou looked at her with a smile: "You don't think so, right?"

    The blind woman smiled and nodded.

    Li Minglou reached out and tucked the woman's messy hair behind her ears.

    Jin Jue sighed later, who would have thought that the arrogant and extravagant young lady like a fairy would do such a thing. This woman is tainted with filth and smells sour when she is locked up here. However, the young lady did not feel any discomfort at all and allowed this woman to hold her arm.  , and touched the woman's face and hair with his hands.

    ¡°Maybe this is what gods are like, all living beings are equal in their eyes.

    "Que'er, you did a good job." The woman also stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch her face.

    Li Minglou gently avoided it, not because he disliked the woman's touch, but because she was no one's replacement. She called Lan Niang.

    Zhang Xiaoqian did not always guard his wife. He continued to do things with everyone. Lan Niang did not go back to the group of women. She stood timidly not far behind Li Minglou, looking at her quietly, her expression alternately frightened and confused. She was frightened at this woman.  She was so dressed up that she was confused that this woman would come to such a place.

    When she heard the call, she shuddered and raised her head, took two steps forward and lowered her head.

    "You have seen Que'er, please help find her body." Li Minglou turned to her and whispered to her, then looked at Yuan Ji, "Let's bury her first." Then he looked at the woman beside him, "We'll wait until she is found.  My family, my soul returns to its hometown."

    Yuan Ji understood what she meant and took a look at the woman. Her accent was not from Huainan. She was probably not a local. She would not be able to find her family for a while.

    Yuan Ji and Lan Niang left.

    Jin Jue swept a rock and said, "Miss, please sit down."

    Li Minglou pulled the woman to sit down: "What's your name? Where are you from?"

    The woman smiled: "What did Que'er say?"

    At this time, her mood has returned to normal, she is not surprised, happy or anxious, she just said

    Li Minglou asked again, but the woman still couldn't answer. She didn't seem to understand her question. However, she looked at Li Minglou seriously with a smile without making any noise. Instead, it seemed that Li Minglou was messing around.

    Li Minglou laughed and gave up. He looked at the woman for a moment, then reached out and untied a piece of cloth from his head to wrap the woman's eyes.

    Li Minglou said: "It looks so good."

    The woman let her do whatever she wanted and just smiled gently.

    Jin Jue came over to look at her, showing a bit of surprise: "This lady is really pretty."

    Her eyes were covered, and there were no scars on her eyes that made people afraid to look directly. Her messy hair was slightly combed and tucked behind her ears. As the night faded and the green light suddenly appeared, the woman sat upright and smiled gently. The outline of her entire face was moving.  You can imagine your beauty when you are young and healthy.

    Who would have the heart to ruin such a beautiful face?

    Although this woman was dressed in ordinary clothes, crazy and blind, she behaved very well. Unfortunately, she was crazy and could not understand the words and could not give any useful information. Li Minglou thought for a moment about how to ask, and then guessed that this woman was related to  Is the daughter-in-law traveling alone, or is she escorted? Did the escort escape or was killed by bandits?

    Yuan Ji walked over quickly, interrupting Li Minglou's thoughts: "Someone is snooping here, like someone from the government."

    When Yuan Ji came to suppress the bandits, the first step was to destroy the bandit sentry posts and replace the sentry posts at the foot of the mountain with his own people.

    "The man used the secret code to contact the sentry and asked if anything had happened." Yuanji whispered, "We responded that someone was coming to cause trouble, and then followed the man to the county seat."

    " Sure enough, there is collusion with the government, Li Minglou said silently, Huainan Road has an important geographical location, Guangwubo, Ande Zhong and his son have been coveting this place, and it seems that they have already planted spies here.

     "Since someone came to inquire, it can be seen that the movement here has alarmed them." Yuanji said, "The government should be coming soon."

    Miss, what should we do when the government comes?  Show merit or ask?

    "You can't show off your merits or ask questions, let alone reveal your identity," Li Minglou pondered.

    Ankangshan father and son have become powerful and have been planning for rebellion for a long time. Now they only focus on the capital. If Jiannan Road intervenes here at this time, Ankangshan father and son will definitely notice them and even eliminate the trouble.

    "The father is gone, Mingyu is still young, and the jingjie has just been handed over. If Ankangshan and his son take action, if nothing else, it will be easy to take the jingjie away.

    Li Minglou looked back at the mountain. A mist of green light shrouded the mountain forest, and soldiers shuttled through it to pile up the corpses of the bandits.

    "Carry some of the weapons away and set a fire in the cave." Li Ming said, looking back at Yuan Ji, "Create the illusion that we have not discovered the secret of their identities."

    Yuan Ji understood what she meant: "Then our identity is that of people who pass by to seek medical advice. When we see injustice on the road, we act bravely when we see villagers Zhang Xiaoqian and others doing righteous deeds."

    Li Minglou nodded. It¡¯s not surprising that a rich man¡¯s home has a brave guard.

    Yuan Ji immediately arranged for some soldiers to set fire, and some soldiers found a place to hide the weapons and armor left behind on the mountain. Fang Er took Zhang Xiaoqian and other villagers to escort the rescued women of Li Minglou down the mountain.

    When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the bandits' cottage was burning everywhere, with the strongest fire being where the weapons were hidden.

    Li Minglou looked back and saw the fire lighting up the horizon.

    "It burned well." The woman also looked back and nodded in praise.

    Li Minglou smiled and took her hand: "Let's go."

    The woman followed obediently, and Kumquat held a black umbrella and followed on the other side. The night had dispersed, and the morning light could not fall on the young lady.

    The foot of the mountain is looming in sight, and the sky is getting brighter. The thieves' cave behind them is burned by fire. The rescued women and villagers finally wake up from their nightmares, and their expressions and steps become relaxed.

    Fang Er stopped and said, "A large number of people are coming."

    Li Minglou looked forward, and saw a wisp of green smoke curling up in the gradually fading green light.

    This is the warning from the sentry ahead.

    It came so quickly!

    The ground shook with the rolling of horse hooves, and soon there was a long line of people and horses on the mountain road, all wearing armor and weapons, with government flags waving behind them.

    Seeing the government¡¯s flag, the villagers and the rescued women cheered.

    "Your Excellency sent someone after all." Zhang Xiaoqian was even more excited. He ran to greet them first and waved, "Did Lord Wang send you here?"

    The villagers and women also wanted to run after them, but Li Minglou stretched out his hand to stop them: "Wait a minute."

    etc?  What are you waiting for?

    The women in the village were puzzled, and Fang Er and the guards surrounded Li Minglou to protect her.

    The group of men and horses did not come over, but stopped at the foot of the mountain and formed a surrounding formation.

    "The thief shall die," the leader shouted sternly.

    Zhang Xiaoqian stopped.

    "We are not bandits. I am Zhang Xiaoqian, the county government official. I told you that there are bandits here who are causing trouble and calling for troops." He pointed at Li Minglou and others behind him and shouted happily, "We have wiped out the bandits.  Rescued people.¡±

    Hearing this shout, there was no loud cheers, but a roar, and the soldiers in the front row pointed their crossbows at this side.

    Li Minglou heard Fang Er¡¯s bones in front of him making a sound like frying beans.

    It was when facing life and death that I gathered all my strength and prepared to give it a try.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
