"Lord Thorn Shi, you call me" Zhang Zhe entered the room and bowed to Tao Qian.

"General Zhang is here, how much do you know about what has happened in Shanggu County recently?" Tao Qian said and motioned for Zhang Zhe to sit down and handed him the bamboo slip in his hand.

Zhang Zhe glanced at the bamboo slip in his hand, put it down and said to Tao Qian, "My lord, I know about this matter, and I sent someone to investigate, and I was just about to report this matter to you."

"What did you investigate?" Tao Qian asked.

"My lord, according to the investigation, the bandits of the White Wolf Village and the White Deer Village were wiped out overnight, most of the cavalry of the Xianbei Yilou and Qiu Dun tribes were wiped out, and the rest of the remaining troops were all under the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers of Shanggu County, and these spearheads were all pointed at a group of bandits in Panlong Village" Zhang Zhe got up and clenched his fists and replied to Tao Qian, "I also know some of this Panlong Village, it is reported that the bandits of this Panlong Village and Hongyun Village usually do some things to rob Xianbei merchants, but they are not guilty of Qiu for the local people, Two days ago, there was a military report that Tongxin Village and Baoan Village were also folded in their hands, and at that time I thought it was just a mutual land grabbing between bandits, so I didn't report it to my lord."

"This Panlongzhai is very interesting," Tao Qian stroked his long beard, thought about it, and said, "How many people are there in this Panlongzhai?"

"Judging from the results of the two battles in Panlongzhai, there should be at least two thousand people, but the strange thing is that some time ago, their men and horses were only two or three hundred," Zhang Zhe also said with some doubts.

"Two thousand, so many. It looks like I'm going to meet this master" Tao Qian lowered his head and pondered, not knowing whether he was talking to Zhang Zhe or talking to himself.

"Yuan'er, what should those Xianbei people do." Tong Yuan asked softly beside Xiao Yuan, this is the third day they have returned to the cottage, Li Xiaoxian and Yan Liang have gone back with their brothers respectively, and Tong Yuan has asked Xiao Yuan to stay.

"Oh, I forgot that those Xianbei people are still in the dungeon, and they haven't starved to death yet," Xiao Yuan patted his head and suddenly realized.

"I haven't starved to death yet, but I guess I'm dying of thirst, where are the brothers going to bring them water and food, two days ago they were still crying in the dungeon and calling for their mother, but today they are all dumb, I guess they don't have much strength" Xiao Liu pursed his lips and snickered on the side.

"Let's go, let's see" Xiao Yuan walked towards the dungeon.

"Be in charge of giving me a stutter, please, you can stutter for me and let me do anything" Qiu Dunshen saw Xiao Yuan coming, and immediately ran over with a handful of snot and tears, and begged Xiao Yuan.

"Oh, how can you let people become like this, where is this hospitality, Xiao Liu, hurry up and get food to entertain the young man of Qiu Dun" Xiao Yuan pretended to be full of apologies and said, turning his head and winking at Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu willingly ran out of the cell, and after a while, he brought a steaming meal and put it in front of Qiu Dunyan, and untied the ropes that bound his hands.

"Thank you, thank you" Qiu Dunyan was already hungry at this time, where could he take care of any aristocratic manners, picked up the bowl and ate it in a big gulp, and continued to thank Xiao Yuan vaguely in his mouth.

"Be careful of poisoning, poisoning you, you'd better let me go quickly, otherwise my Xianbei Iron Cavalry will definitely slaughter your cottage" Eloshen, who was imprisoned in another cell, saw Xiao Yuan bring food to Qiu Dunyan, and rolled his Adam's apple up and down, but he still raised his neck and said stiffly.

"Uh, it's poisonous" Qiu Dunyan stopped the food he was chewing in his mouth and looked at Xiao Yuan with eyes full of questions, as if he wanted an answer.

"Well, it's really poisonous" Xiao Yuan put a playful smile on his face, "It's still highly toxic."

"I'll fight you with you, ah" The mud bodhisattva was still angry, and when Qiu Dunyan heard that it was highly poisonous, he threw away the rice bowl in his hand and got up angrily and smashed his fist at Xiao Yuan.

'Bang' Tong Yuan was by Xiao Yuan's side, where could he be injured, seeing Qiu Dunyan just about to rush up, he kicked him to the opposite wall.

"Do you want to live?" Xiao Yuan asked as he walked up to Qiu Dunyan, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground and screaming in pain.

Qiu Dunyan also seemed to understand that with Tong Yuan by his side to protect, it was estimated that it would be impossible to kill Xiao Yuan, but when he heard Xiao Yuan's question, his originally godless eyes were suddenly filled with endless desire to survive, and at this time, he couldn't care about the pain in his abdomen and crawled to Xiao Yuan and said, "I want to live, as long as I can live, you can do whatever you ask me to do."

A dagger was thrown in front of Qiu Dunyan by Xiao Yuan.

"Go, kill him," Xiao Yuan said, pointing to Eloshen with his hands tied.

"Okay, I'll go," Chudunyan happily picked up the dagger and walked to the cell where Eloshen was.

"You can't kill me, Qiu Dunyan, he's trying to sow discord between our two families, you can't kill me, ah" A scream came from Eloshen's mouth.

"If I don't kill you, I'm going to die, I don't want to die," Chudunyan whispered to him as he put his arm around Eloshen's shoulder.

"Master, let him and his soldiers and horses go, and give each of them a dagger, Young Master Qiu Dun come with me," Xiao Yuan commanded as he walked out.

"A dagger per person? Okay, got it."

"I think Young Master Qiu Dun should know what I want you to do," Xiao Yuan said as he walked in front of Qiu Dunyan

"Understand, understand, in the future, I, Qiu Dunyan, must be the head of the house," Qiu Dunyan followed behind Xiao Yuan and said respectfully, "Master, should this antidote be... ”

"Young Master Qiu Dun later," Xiao Yuan and Xiao Liu walked into the house, took out a box, handed it to Qiu Dunyan, and said, "The antidote I have here, the effect is only one year, I hope Young Master Qiu Dun will not be surprised"

Qiu Dunyan didn't know what Xiao Yuan's idea was, but he didn't expect Xiao Yuan to give him all the antidotes, and he wasn't frustrated.

When he opened the box, he quickly swallowed the small black pill inside into his stomach and let out a long sigh. Then he bowed to Xiao Yuan with a smile and said, "Where, where, how dare I blame the master?"

"I'll give you fifty horses in a while, as for how you go out of the Han realm, it's your business to say after you go back, okay, let's go" Xiao Yuan saw that Qiu Dunyan was going to compliment him again, and waved his hand to let him leave.

"Haha, haha" Xiao Yuan and Xiao Liu finally couldn't hold back the laughter anymore.

"Yuan'er, what's wrong, I haven't seen you prepare poison in the past two days," Tong Yuan walked over from a distance and asked Xiao Yuan with a little doubt.

"Haha, haha" Xiao Yuan laughed louder, "Master, I just said that it was poisonous, but I never said that Qiu Dunyan was poisoned."

"Not poisoned? What antidote did you give if you weren't poisoned? Tong Yuan was even more confused.

"Master, look" Xiao Yuan smiled and lifted Xiao Liu's shirt, only to see that Xiao Liu's upper body was rubbed red.

Tong Yuan finally reacted and laughed, and while laughing, he kicked Xiao Liu with his foot and said, "Little Liuzi, remember to take a bath once a day in the future."

"Master, let's go to the Thorn History Mansion in the past two days, it is estimated that if we don't go, Tao Thorn Shi will not be at ease," Xiao Yuan said after a long time.

"Okay, but what if he asks us to dismiss or convert the brothers, after all, a stable Shanggu County is the most important thing for him" Tong Yuan's face was a little worried.

"Master don't worry, 'if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the person is observed, there will be no disciples', I think Tao Thorn Shi will understand, without us, there will definitely be a new bandit force in Shanggu County, compare with the current situation, I believe Tao Thorn Shi will make the right choice" After speaking, Xiao Yuan looked at Tong Yuan's eyes, "What do you say, master?"
