Before dawn the next day, torches were already lit up outside the county town.

Twenty heavily armed ironclad guards marched at a uniform speed in the direction of Taiyuan Mansion under the leadership of Lin Dalang, and beside the neat team, there were three horses that had broken away from the team.

Lin Meiyi was dressed in a black shirt, with a golden tulle scarf around her neck, wrapping all the parts above her neck, revealing only a pair of clear black eyes.

She rode beside the Iron Guards, followed by Qi Tian and the recovered Dragon Mark.

The egg-yellow sun slowly rises from the hillside, the pale golden light sprinkles on the earth, the young leaves of early spring stretch comfortably around the waist, and the trumpet of the soldiers and soldiers by the river makes people feel that life is full of hope.

But this is just the world in Lin Meiyi's eyes, in Long Biao's eyes, this county is so desolate that it can't even compare with a small mountain village in Lu County, and there is no beauty at all.

Riding a horse over the mountains, as far as the eye can see, is either barren slopes or endless primeval forests, and navigating these environments can be stressful.

The simple things of eating and drinking in this place seem to have become much more difficult.

Fortunately, this pressure becomes less and less as you walk south.

At about eleven o'clock in the morning, everyone passed through Taiyuan Mansion, the first city in the north, all the way to the south, and the horses were fastened and whipped, and the two horses changed lanes, and finally at ten o'clock in the evening, they arrived at the periphery of the valley where the horse bandits were everywhere.

At this moment, the golden sun had set, night had fallen, and the valley was surrounded by mountains and forests on both sides, except for an unsheltered bare road in the valley, which was gloomy under the dim shadow of the hillside.

This is the only way to enter Taiyuan Province, whether it is a caravan or an army, it must pass through here.

Because of this, the horse bandits on both sides were fattened.

Now that they are becoming more and more rampant and inflated, Lin Meiyi stood on the high slope, looking at the fires in the mountains and forests, thinking that it was time to perish.

After a long day's travel, the horses were sleepy and the people were tired, and it was not suitable for an immediate raid, and the matter had to be considered in the long run.

Lin Meiyi came down from the hillside, and all of them gathered in a small mountain col, which was not easy to be discovered by the other party and was suitable for concealment.

"Big sister, come over and have something to eat."

Seeing Lin Meiyi coming down from the mountain, Lin Dalang greeted him with a piece of Hu Cake.

Lin Meiyi stepped forward, took the Hu cake and observed everyone present while eating, but did not see Qi Tian and Long Biao, and asked suspiciously:

"Haven't the two of them come back yet?"

Lin Dalang nodded, "Well, it's been about half an hour, just to find out the traces of those dart masters, and I should be able to come back soon." ”

As he spoke, remembering that he hadn't seen a single corpse all the way, Lin Dalang guessed: "Maybe there will be a living mouth." ”

Lin Meiyi was noncommittal, sat on the stone and ate the Hu cake in three or two bites, drank half a pot of water, clapped her hands and stood up,

"I'll go over and take a look, if something happens, it's not good, big brother, pay attention to vigilance, don't let everyone make a fire, so as not to leak our whereabouts."

After explaining, seeing Lin Dalang's helpless and speechless appearance, Lin Meiyi patted her head and couldn't help but chuckle:

"It's me who is overly worried, and the eldest brother must know better than me about the march."

Lin Dalang shook his head, he didn't mind these details, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of his sister's hair, and admonished: "Then you should be careful yourself." ”

Lin Meiyi bowed her head, turned around and prepared to find Qi Tian and Long Biao, but she didn't expect that she hadn't raised her legs yet, the tips of her ears moved slightly, and there was a sound in the mountains and forests, and Lin Meiyi immediately gave Lin Dalang a quiet gesture.

Lin Dalang was taken aback, although he hadn't found anything, he also knew that his sister was much sharper than himself, so he hurriedly ordered in a low voice:

"Silence! There is an enemy! ”

The col was instantly silent.

Lin Meiyi was lying behind a dirt slope, listening to the movement getting closer and closer, and the breath coming was very familiar, she immediately raised her eyebrows, the whole person relaxed, waved her hand and said to the people behind her:

"It's okay, it's our own people."

Not long after the words fell, two familiar figures popped out of the forest, which were the two Qitian Longbiao who had gone to find the traces of the dart master before.

"How?" Lin Meiyi stepped forward and asked softly.

Long Biao looked defeated, and squatted down directly in front of the stone, looking autistic.

Lin Meiyi had to look at Qi Tian, "Uncle? ”

Qi Tian replied solemnly: "All of them are dead, and the corpses are hanging in front of the gate of the cottage, eleven corpses, and none of them are missing." ”

Lin Meiyi glanced at Long Biao sympathetically, and could only pat him on the shoulder to show comfort.

Long Biao waved his hand with difficulty, indicating that he could still hold on.

The people of the rivers and lakes have long looked down on life and death, he just hates the cruel methods of the horse bandits, so that the dead cannot rest in peace.

"Where's the goods?" Lin Dalang asked with concern.

Qi Tian replied: "There is a warehouse dedicated to storing stolen goods in the cottage, and there is a horse-drawn cart with goods parked outside the warehouse, and things may be inside. ”

"What's going on on the mountain?" Lin Dalang asked again.

Qi Tian shook his head, "It's dark for a short time, so I didn't see it clearly." ”

"See Helian Bo ? Lin Dalang asked.

Qi Tian shook his head, "No." ”

Lin Dalang had to ask again, Qi Tian was already a little impatient, this was not his task, the task given to him by Lin Meiyi was just to protect the dragon mark, but he was not asked to investigate these news.

Lin Dalang saw his helplessness, coughed twice in embarrassment, and gave up asking.

Asked someone to bring water and food, let the two eat first, pulled Lin Meiyi to the side alone, and said in a low voice:

"Big sister, the people you want are all brought to you, although the iron guards are brave, but compared with those horse bandits, our number is still too small, with the ability of the big brother, at most I will snatch the goods back for you, if you still want to serve these horse bandits in one pot, the big brother can't do it."

"Therefore, if someone gives it to you, including my eldest brother, you can send it at will, provided that the lives of my brothers must be saved for me, and none of them can be lost, if you think you can do it, then you don't hide it, let it go."

This is the absolute trust of the elder brother in his sister, as long as the younger sister says yes, the elder brother will accompany him to the end.

Lin Meiyi naturally would not live up to this trust, and promised: "Big brother, don't worry, I'm sure, I'll rest tonight, and when the time comes, I will make my own arrangements." ”

"Okay." Lin Dalang bowed his head, without a word of nonsense, the brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, with absolute trust in each other in their eyes.

Sometimes Lin Meiyi can't help but think, how can she get such a warm family when she didn't do any good deeds in her previous life?

Could it be that she saved the entire galaxy in her last life?

Perhaps.

Lin Meiyi curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, her hand in her sleeve and touched the storage bag inside, her eyes gradually becoming dark.

Offensive rune scarves, which can be taken out and used.
