Hongjiazhai is in Qinghongfeng, a hundred miles away from Chaoge City, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the imperial court has sent troops to encircle and suppress many times, because of the topography of Qinghongfeng, the army attacked, the bandits retreated to the mountains to hide, there is no problem with the grain hidden in the mountain for more than a month, so every time it is not wiped out.

In addition, this group of bandits only robbed the caravan and did not harm their lives, so the court put it aside for the time being.

After the robbers tied the two of them, their squinting eyes were full of salivation, and they knocked off Gu Qingchu's hat, and he thought he was a beauty, but after seeing the original appearance clearly, he suddenly lost his appetite, his sallow and dark skin, and the pimples on his forehead and cheeks were extremely ugly.

This is Gu Qingchu's special "disguise cream" made in his free time when analyzing the poison of the Southern Barbarians, pounded with various herbs, and has the same effect as the mask.

She won't be said to be a disguiser who turns herself into someone else, but fortunately, her makeup skills are okay, and even the jade bracelet thinks she is drunk and poisonous.

I went out to practice putting on makeup on a whim, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

"Damn, no wonder you wear a hat, hurry up and put it on, it will affect Lao Tzu's appetite." The bandit scolded and put the hat back on Gu Qingchu's head, and the bandit who left didn't notice that Gu Qingchu cast a cold gaze behind him.

Yuan Jinpei on the side immediately turned his gaze when Gu Qingchu's hat was taken off, and when he saw Gu Qingchu's face clearly, it confirmed his guess that Ning Lianghou was drunk with a red face, and he didn't show up probably because of this.

It is rumored that Ning Lianghou is beautiful and moving, and now that he has become like this, it is normal to be reluctant to let others see it, but I don't know why, Yuan Jinpei always feels a deep sense of disobedience.

The two were brought into Hongjiazhai by the bandits, and the bandits didn't even blindfold them, and everyone knew how Hongjiazhai came up, but no one could get in.

When they arrived at the door of the cottage, they were about to enter the cottage before blindfolding the two of them with a black cloth, and then they were brought into a cell, only to hear the sound of chains pulling, and then there was silence around.

Gu Qingchu easily untied the rope on the back of her hand, and then took off the black cloth that was blindfolded, and saw the surrounding environment clearly, especially after seeing Yuan Jinpei, she was a little choked, as she thought, this is a cell where hostages are held.

The only thing that was different from what she imagined was that Yuan Jinpei vividly played a "dead man", letting the rope add to his body without changing his face, finding a comfortable position against the wall and then motionless.

The terrifying Tianwei Si Yuan Yama King is so obedient? The rumored arrogance was not felt, and from beginning to end, Gu Qingchu walked over and untied the other party's rope blindfold.

"Lord Yuan, what do you think?" Gu Qingchu asked.

She already knew where the refugees disappeared, and presumably Yuan Jinpei also noticed that those refugees were all arrested in Hongjiazhai!

When she passed by a certain place just now, she vaguely felt that there were a lot of people not far away, why did the bandits go to Shilipo? As soon as the two were connected, Gu Qingchu had a spectrum in his heart.

Yuan Jinpei moved his wrist and replied to Gu Qingchu in a low voice: "The refugees are all in Hongjiazhai, let's go out and have a look?" ”

Gu Qingchu seconded the proposal, and then she saw that the commander-in-chief of the dignified Tianwei Division borrowed a hairpin from her, slashed it twice on the keyhole, and clicked the lock open.

"This kind of lock is the best to solve." Yuan Jinpei's tone seemed to be a little disappointed that the difficulty of unlocking was too low.

Gu Qingchu: ......

She declined to comment.

Because Gu Qingchu and Yuan Jinpei deliberately showed that the pure goodness was too deceptive, the robbers mainly classified the two as rich daughters and sons, and they would pee their pants directly if they were scared, so the supervision was not strict.

It was already evening when Gu Qingchu Yuan Jinpei arrived at Hongjiazhai, and now that the sky is completely darkened, it is more conducive to concealment, and tomorrow the bandits will come to inquire about the situation at their home, and then send a ransom letter.

Generally, the hostages who are captured will not be hungry on the first day, and the hostages will frighten themselves with their imagination for a night, and they will not dare to bother to think about what to say the next day.

The bandits in Hongjiazhai have always treated hostages like this, which is conducive to the escape of Gu Qingchu and Yuan Jinpei.

Out of the cage, except for the bandits who bypassed the guards at the door, the two of them didn't see anyone all the way back, and when they came, there would be basically two people standing guard on every section of the road, and they had to show their identity cards when they passed by.

"It's not harming you, it's helping you, joining us, and enjoying endless glory and wealth in the future......"

A passionate male voice loomed in the distance, the two followed the sound and saw a large number of torches, no wonder there were no bandits along the way, most of the people in Hongjiazhai were here.

Not only the bandits, but also the more than 2,000 refugees who disappeared.

"Joining Hongjiazhai, having meat to eat and wine to drink every day, isn't it easier than drinking white porridge and doing tiring work? Are you afraid that you will become a bandit and affect your family? It doesn't matter, our boss has thought of a way for you, fleeing all the way or those who died in the south, you can impersonate them to join our Hongjiazhai, so that everyone has no worries......"

A blue-robed-looking man lobbied hard, and the refugees below had a tread on their faces, because if there was no flood, everyone would be good citizens in their homeland!

Being a bandit is not only your own safety, but also your relatives and friends, and any fraudulent name is a fool of a brainless person, and most of the refugees may not have read a book, but they know what is going on.

If they had not had a stable life before, they might have thought that the bandits were right, but now they are given food and work in the city of Songcheng, and a notice from the imperial court has been posted at the gate of the city, and houses will be built near the town to ensure the winter life of the refugees.

As the flood waters receded, the imperial court had sent troops to the Huainan region to rebuild their homes for the people, and by next spring at the latest, the victims would return to their hometowns.

While fighting against the Southern Barbarians, the imperial court did not ignore the disaster, and issued instructions to all places, requiring each county government to have someone explain to the refugees every day before the announcement.

Gu Qingchu didn't expect the imperial court to be able to do this, and I have to say that the newly appointed little emperor impressed her.

This announcement was issued the day after Yuan Jin Pei came, because Yuan Daren was in charge, and the officials of Chaoge City did not dare to slack off, so the refugees faced the temptation of bandits, so they were so calm, and they still wanted to go back to their hometown and continue to live a good life.

There were nearly 800 bandits in Hongjiazhai, each with a scimitar in their hands, and they surrounded the refugees in a circle, and one of the white-bearded old men suddenly stood up in the squatting refugees and shouted: "For the bandits, the whole family is affected, the ancestors are sorry, the descendants are sorry, and they will not obey!" ”

After shouting a word, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the old man was directly pierced in the chest by the bandits with a knife, the faces of the refugees changed suddenly, and the threatening attitude of the bandits was self-evident.

Gu Qingchu's face was clean, he looked at the granary of the bandits not far away, he had a plan in his heart, he got up and was about to sneak away, but he found that his shoulders were tightly held, Gu Qingchu turned around, only to see Yuan Jinpei's forehead bruised, his eyes were scarlet and his face was pale, and he was trembling all over.
