Mu Shengbai was a little confused, didn't Du Weizhen say that this matter was for him to decide, could it be that Emperor Jing Yuan had other ideas.

Emperor Jingyuan was afraid that Mu Shengbai would think too much, and explained: "I feel that you should not go over in person, Deyun Town, which is less than ten kilometers away from the imperial city, suddenly appeared a group of bandits, extremely vicious, and occupied Panlong Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the imperial court wants to send troops to clean up but there is no way, and if you want to go to Dongling City, you must pass there, in order not to delay your trip, I still send some kung fu to go first, and then you can rush over after the thieves are annihilated." ”

Du Weizhen was also recruited just now, and he didn't know what was going on, this time he didn't wait for Mu Shengbai to answer, so he took a few steps forward, "Father, the son is willing to help his father share his worries and lead people to annihilate these evil bandits!" ”

Emperor Jing Yuan looked at him with satisfaction, "The prince is really kind-hearted, and he is the hope of my Kunguo, so it's okay, I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Du Weizhen excitedly rode down, and took Mu Shengbai to the East Palace.

Not long after the two of them talked, Emperor Jingyuan sent someone to tell them the image of those bandits and the topography map of Panlong Mountain, Mu Shengbai took the topography map and observed it for a while, before he said: "Panlong Mountain is steep, towering into the clouds, it is very easy to defend and difficult to attack, and according to the information sent by the emperor about those bandits, it is undoubtedly very difficult." ”

Du Weizhen nodded approvingly, looking at him with a heavy gaze, "Then what do you think can be done?" ”

"Please Rong Shengbai go back and think about it."

The two agreed to continue to discuss the matter tomorrow, and Du Weizhen asked Sixi to send Mu Shengbai out of the palace.

Mu Shengbai was busy with the affairs of the shop this day and didn't go to Wanshuge to continue to read the long history of the Western Regions, and turned around and found that it had already closed, and originally thought that under Du Yu's entanglement, Wanshuge would delay the closure again.

There was no way, so he had to go back to Mufu, spread out the topographic map of Panlong Mountain, and draw circles on it with a charcoal pen, until the second half of the night, a preliminary plan was gradually formed in his mind.

Feeling a little tired, standing up and loosening his muscles, there were only a few sparse stars in the dark sky outside, the autumn wind blew, even Mu Shengbai couldn't help but feel a little chilly, closed the window and sat on the Taishi chair again, this time it was slightly dawn, and I saw that the topographic map had been marked with dense words.

He sent this picture to Du Weizhen, who did not expect that he would have a complete plan in just one night.

At the foot of Panlong Mountain, Mu Shengbai sat outside the carriage, his face had no expression, but his eyes were urgent and nervous, he let people go down in four ways according to Mu Shengbai's plan, but it has been half a day now, and there is no movement inside.

An officer and soldier hurriedly ran over, "Your Highness, General Li is back." ”

Du Weizhen looked in the direction he pointed in surprise, only to see the disgraced General Li coming back with a pair of remnants, all of them with more or less wounds.

General Li felt that his face was gloomy, he had such an elite soldier of the Divine Battalion and His Royal Highness the Prince's meticulous layout and plan, and he was beaten back without even entering the door of the thief's den, "Your Highness, your subordinates have lost your trust." ”

Du Weizhen didn't expect these bandits to be so tricky, and General Li elaborated on their experience of this failure.

After General Li's detailed description, Du Weizhen became more and more frightened, even Emperor Jing Yuan had described these bandits as more cunning and ruthless than ordinary bandits, but this was far less shocking than his own personal experience.

His expression became more and more solemn, "Are you saying that these bandits are well-trained, like a military advisor behind their backs?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness." General Li is very serious, he doesn't dare to exaggerate or hide anything from the prince, "No matter how fierce ordinary bandits are, they are only brave and unscrupulous, and they can be easily eliminated with some stratagems, but these bandits are very unusual, they advance and retreat in moderation, and they don't love war, if there is no one behind them to guide them, it is absolutely impossible." ”

Du Weizhen nodded in agreement, now that it was getting late, if he continued to attack, the chances of winning would definitely be smaller, so he had to let people retreat first.

After going back, he asked people to find Mu Shengbai and told him about today's events, Mu Shengbai didn't expect these thieves to be so powerful, and his face became more and more solemn.

Du Weizhen invited him to stay in the East Palace at night to discuss the plan, and Mu Shengbai agreed, so he sent a letter back to Mu Mansion.

Du Weizhen was very happy, and asked the palace maid to clean up the side hall next to his bedroom and let Mu Shengbai spend the night, and after the two finished dinner together, they went to the study to discuss how to take down the Panlong Mountain bandits tomorrow.

Mu Shengbai thought that after today's incident, they would be more cautious tomorrow, so it was better to let people pretend to be rich businessmen and pass under Panlong Mountain first, and when they were caught inside, they would come to meet with each other at that time.

Du Weizhen thought so, and after the two continued to discuss some details, they went back to their rooms, and he also asked Mu Shengbai to participate in the annihilation of the bandits tomorrow.

Early the next morning, with a heavy sound as the wheels passed the ground, a luxurious carriage walked ahead, followed by a large number of guards, and pushed several delicate red chests, which pressed deep creases into the not-so-hard road.

The cart was pulled by a middle-aged man with a loyal face and a somewhat empty look, and only the heavy creaking sound of the cart running over the ground could be heard here.

Suddenly, a group of people appeared in front of them, and as the footsteps got closer, they were surrounded in the middle.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing an extremely beautiful face, such a beautiful person turned out to be a teenager, "Why did it stop?" ”

The young man looked at the thieves in front of him with fierce expressions and sturdy upper bodies in a panicked manner, and those guards also held knives in front of him, trembling, "Who are you?" ”

The leader-like man standing in the middle took a few steps forward, a scar on his face lay across his forehead and the corners of his mouth, it was terrifying, he glanced at the young man, his eyes showed greed, his voice was like a Hong Zhong, and his eardrums buzzed, "It's still such a good-looking young master, hahaha, we are the masters of this Panlong Mountain, and the people who pass by me must leave something, you won't know it." ”

"You ...... You are actually the bandits of Panlong Mountain. The young man seemed to be frightened, his face was as pale as gold paper, he swallowed his saliva, and said in a hurry, "Only if you let us go, we are willing to give you a hundred taels of gold as a reward." ”

Hearing his words, Scarface's eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, the other bandits easily subdued those guards and opened the boxes behind them, which were actually several large boxes of gold.
