When Mingxi rode his horse to Julu County, he had already cried on the road once.

He went to the post station first, and almost fell off the horse when he turned over and dismounted at the gate of the post station, but what relieved him was that Wang Zijun and the others did not separate from the servants as they did in Hengshan County, and went to find the inn by themselves, but stayed in the inn together, as if they were waiting for him and Shen Ruyu to return - this saved Mingxi a lot of time.

And when he saw Mingxi appear, Wen Ming looked at the figure of no one behind him, and suddenly looked a little angry, "Why are you the only one?" What about jade? ”

But Wang Zijun saw that something was wrong from Mingxi's pale expression, she brought a cup of tea and asked him to hold it in his hand to calm down, and asked in a calm tone, "What's wrong?" Mingxi? Is something happening? ”

Ming Xi looked at Wang Zijun with a short breath, and after a long time, he finally regained his composure, "Sister Ruyu, she ......" He took a deep breath and couldn't help choking again, "She was kidnapped by a group of bandits. ”

After learning the news, the county guard of Julu County almost fainted on the spot.

It is not surprising that there are bandits in these years, and although it is said that the murder of an official is a serious crime, there are many cases of officials being killed every year on the official roads in many places.

It is often because of the mobilization of the army to eliminate these bandits, some of which make a big fuss, but relying on the strength of the local officials, there is nothing they can do, so they have to turn a blind eye, and out of sight and out of mind, they do not think that there is no zài, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.

Using such a small amount of troops from the county government to fight against that group of bandits is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, not to mention the damage in vain, maybe there will be retaliation afterwards, besides, if you don't care about them, you can also whitewash the peace, once the troops are dispatched, her superiors will feel that there are bandits in her jurisdiction, and the governance is not effective.

No one is willing to do this kind of loss-making business.

Besides, as long as those mountain bandits had money, they rarely harmed people's lives, and they had never heard of robbing people up the mountain.

Why did you grab such a powerful character with a casual grab this time!?

The county guard of Julu County was about to cry.

That's Shen Ruyu.

Not to mention the Luohe Shen family, how many people are officials in the court, just talk about Shen Ruyu...... The stars of the younger generation of literary circles are famous...... The point is! Whole big ginger! Who doesn't know! Shen Ruyu! It is the daughter of the emperor's majesty! Person! Yes!!

As the saying goes, a county commander who doesn't want to become the prime minister is not a good county guard, as an official who doesn't want to stop at the position of a county guard in his political career, the county guard of Julu County is very concerned about the movements of the Beijing Division, so she clearly knows why Shen Ruyu came out of the Beijing Division......

Shen Nanfeng asked her to go back to Luohe to repair the ancestral house. But this seemingly casual and logical reason was exchanged for a sneer in front of many officials, only hating that he couldn't give birth to a daughter like Shen Ruyu, so that the emperor couldn't swallow his worries, and when he wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, he inadvertently arranged for her to go far away, and the conditions proposed were met for you.

However, it is obvious that the young male emperor is not at the mercy of others, he has arranged a duty for her to patrol the heavens, and he is almost openly robbing the Shen family.

Strange to say, Shen Ruyu is obviously the daughter of the Shen family, but her fame is almost all talented, and rarely involves politics. This makes people's first reaction when they think of her within the scope of politics, this is the woman that the emperor has taken a fancy to, not, this is the daughter of the Shen family.

Therefore, the relationship between the emperor and the Shen family, whose power was expanding more and more, was obviously antagonistic, but he gave the Shen family's concubine the duty of patrolling on behalf of the sky.

Such a seemingly unreasonable thing, after understanding that person is Shen Ruyu, can be inexplicably accepted by everyone.

But that's no longer the point.

The county guard of Julu County cried and spread out the memo, and began to write a memo with trembling wrists to report the situation to the Jingshi, and by the way, after writing it, she also had to write a plea at the same time, and then in addition to these two memoranda, there were many letters to be sent to her teachers, classmates, relatives who were officials in the same dynasty, and fellow villagers, so that when she was taken from her post and investigated, she could have some helpers to intercede for her and leave room for turnaround.

By now, it is no longer a question of whether the future of the government will be damaged and unable to be promoted because of poor governance, but the question of whether the daughter of the Shen family, the woman whom His Majesty the Emperor fancies, was kidnapped by bandits, and whether she would be directly arrested and imprisoned by the internal guards.

After these were written, the county guard of Julu County suddenly slapped his head and found that there was another important person who had not been notified - General Zhichong of the Hexi Provincial Military Mansion.

Da Jiang's army implements the government soldier system, the army is mainly government soldiers, in charge of various regions, and the supreme commander is General Zhichong. And Julu County happens to be under the jurisdiction of the Hexi Provincial Military Mansion.

It's just that the military and politics are separated, and without the emperor's edict, the county guard of Julu County can't mobilize a single soldier.

…… When that general encounters this kind of thing, he will probably have a headache for a while.

This is something that is difficult for Shen Ruyu to imagine, because the person who the top leader likes is arrested, the governor of a province will take the blame and resign, and may also be arrested and imprisoned...... Underworld.

…… But in ancient times, the emperor was a qiē, and in a sense, the emperor's will was the meaning of their existence.

And after doing these things, the county guard of Julu County was still not idle, she dispatched all the officials and began to search the peaks by the official road and the carpet along the official road.

But at this time, Shen Ruyu was no longer in the vicinity.

After being tied up, she was watched and pressed by several bandits, wrapped in their ranks, and walked towards the mountain.

They were very familiar with the mountain, and they were very confident - they didn't even blindfold Shen Ruyu to prevent her from remembering the route.

And it turned out that it was because the mountain road was indeed very complicated, Shen Ruyu tried hard to remember, but after bypassing countless places that seemed completely indistinguishable, she finally gave up the move.

I don't know how they can tell the route, it seems that the purpose is very clear, and just when Shen Ruyu thought they were going to go around all day, they pressed her into a dense bush.

When Shen Ruyu squinted her eyes to prevent the branches that could not be peeled off with her hands from hitting her eyes, and lowered her head to burrow out of the bushes, she raised her head, only to see that a pool of water suddenly opened up in front of her.

The sky is high and the water is far away, the wind is light and the clouds are light, the grass is green, and the scenery in front of you is beautiful like an ink painting with excellent artistic conception.

- If you add two cranes to the water, it will be even more beautiful.

But compared to these ups and downs, Shen Ruyu is more concerned about another more important thing at the moment - after all, it is about her personal safety.

- They don't know when they came down from the mountain.

This made her look back at the mountain behind her with a little melancholy, and thought worriedly, I don't know if the person Mingxi found can see through this trick.

At this moment, one of the female bandits beside her blew a long whistle into the open water, and soon, a small boat slowly rocked into their sight.

"Yo, is my sister back?" The boatman at the bow of the boat was a sturdy man, he was dark-skinned, not very old, and his smile seemed quite hearty, and he seemed to have frequent dealings with this group of female bandits, and said hello to them one by one, and the woman who looked like the leader seemed to be the "righteous sister", she held the long whip, squinted at him and smiled, "We are back!" ”

They pressed Shen Ruyu onto the boat, and the boatman realized that Shen Ruyu was blocked by a group of female bandits just now.

Until they were done on the boat one by one, the boatman began to row towards the center of the water, and he couldn't help but turn back again and again curiously, looked at the silent Shen Ruyu, and asked tentatively, "Sister Yi...... I don't know who this girl is? ”

But I don't know which sentence he said wrong, and as soon as the words fell, it caused a burst of laughter from the female bandits.

"Li Zhaomei, where did you learn the words in this sour drama, so crepe?" One of the short, swarthy female bandits said sharply, "'I don't know who this girl is?' Isn't it okay to ask this girl directly, we don't know you yet, I don't know a few words, what kind of elegance is pretending to be! ”

"It's because you see this girl's beauty and water, and you have a heart, right? It's really daring to think! Why don't you look like yourself when you're on the water all day long? ”

Seeing them laughing at others with their voices open, Shen Ruyu glanced at their reflections in the water, and couldn't help but think in her heart: You didn't look at it either.

Seeing that the boatman named Li Zhaomei showed an embarrassed smile and closed his mouth and stopped talking, Shen Ruyu felt that he looked strange and pitiful, so he smiled at him, "I'm Shen Ruyu." ”

The boatman looked startled, he glanced at Shen Ruyu in a daze, and then at the group of female bandits whose laughter stopped abruptly, turned his head silently, and did not answer, Shen Ruyu didn't care.

The woman who was called the righteous sister spoke at this time, "This scholar is the daughter-in-law who robbed the little brother." ”

Shen Ruyu suddenly couldn't help but sigh softly.

Judging from the fact that the stronghold was set up behind the natural barrier of Shuibo and arranged with special boatmen, this group of mountain bandits should be quite large, and it has already formed a system of its own.

She thought that this group of mountain bandits should be small in number, and this righteous sister was the leader, but now it seems that she is probably a small leader.

I don't know who that "little brother" is.

Speculating from the available sources, he likes to read people? From this point of view, it should be a cultural person in a bandit's den? It should be more reasonable.

Maybe...... Can you understand it with reason and move it with emotion?

Li Zhaomei's rowing skills were very good, and soon, the boat docked smoothly and quickly on the shore, and they crossed a pool of water from the boat, and then came to the foot of another mountain.

Shen Ruyu continued to be pressed and walked off the boat, Li Zhaomei stood at the bow of the boat, looked at her back for a while, and then turned her head and shook the boat and slowly left.

Shen Ruyu realized that she had only now truly come to the lair of these mountain bandits.

The mountain, hidden by Mizusawa's nature, is clearly well developed, and the path leading from the base to the summit is neatly paved with steps, so climbing the mountain is effortless. Along the way, many people greeted the female bandits, and some teenagers curiously gathered around and secretly looked at Shen Ruyu.

…… Obviously, these people are not just a bunch of outlaws, they even have family members! This is a group of professional bandits who live as a serious profession!

This is not good news for Shen Ruyu, because it means that they may have a clear division of labor among each other, each perform their own duties, and have their own management system, and the difficulty of her escape will be increased indefinitely.

They went all the way, and soon almost all of them got the "righteous sister" and they tied up a woman to go up the mountain today - because the further back they went, the more and more people came to watch.

"That's it? The one who was tied? Ouch, that's so good-looking. ”

"Looks like a reader."

"Reader? The little brother hates reading people the most, and I don't know how many days this can last. ”

"But those who read books before were not as good-looking as this, maybe the little brother will be particularly soft-hearted?"

"It's hard to say, didn't the little brother tell the eldest sister last time? Find him another reader, and if you find one, he will kill one. ”

…… I'll go?! It's not the same as it was conceived, hey!

Hearing such discussions, Shen Ruyu couldn't help but turn her head and looked at the group of people who had just said these words, trying to get them to say more, so that she could know more information, but unfortunately, as soon as she slowed down, she was violently pushed forward by a female bandit behind her.

Shen Ruyu glanced back at her gloomily and let out a long sigh.

Why should women be embarrassed by women......?

Fortunately, it wasn't long before she was able to sit down after walking for so long.

Shen Ruyu was taken to the largest room on the mountain, and she guessed that this should be the "Gathering Hall" where the bandits were discussing important matters, or meeting the boss.

Sure enough, the door of the room was open, and there was a chair that was at least several sizes larger than the others, but unexpectedly, the woman sitting on it looked very temperamental.

She looks thirty or forty years old, but she has fair skin and a gentle expression, but as an "eldest sister", no matter how gentle she looks, there is still a sense of confidence between her eyebrows, which makes her seem to be the head of a white family, and some people believe it.

At least if she was seen on the road, Shen Ruyu would never associate her with the profession of a mountain bandit.

There was also a young man sitting beside her, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with black hair tied into a ponytail at the back of his head, slightly dark skin, a pair of sword eyebrows, and bright eyes full of some untamed wildness.

That kind of radiant look...... reminded Shen Ruyu of Li Cong.

She paused, and couldn't help but look at him for a long time.

As if sensing her gaze, the young man who was originally tilting his head and looking away, with an impatient and annoyed face, turned his head very unpleasantly, and then looked at Shen Ruyu after looking at the "eldest sister" and cast his gaze, after seeing her appearance clearly, the young man was slightly stunned.

Then Shen Ruyu retracted his gaze very calmly, as if he hadn't seen his gaze at all.

And just when Shen Ruyu looked at the mother and son in the house, the "eldest sister" was obviously also looking at her, not knowing what she saw, and showed a satisfied smile.

After a moment of silence after they looked at each other, the "eldest sister" spoke first.

Her tone was as gentle as her appearance, "What's your name?" ”

This bandit leader has a friendly expression like an elder in the family, and it is easy to make people feel good.

Shen Ruyu couldn't help but feel in her heart that it was incredible that an underworld boss could give people such a feeling, and smiled at her very gracefully, "Shen Ruyu." ”

The smile on the face of the "eldest sister" suddenly disappeared, and she looked at her in surprise, "Luohe Shen Clan? The third mother of the Shen family? Shen Ruyu? ”
