In fact, the housekeeper had colluded with the mountain bandits for a long time, so every time the mountain bandits went down the mountain to rob the people's grain, the housekeeper turned a blind eye and persuaded Li Wu not to anger them, lest they not leave a way for themselves to live.

Anyway, since he has offended Chu Lingyi, it is impossible to want Chu Lingyi to let himself go. Now the only way to survive is to go up the mountain and deal with Chu Lingyi with the mountain bandits. Li Wu also knew in his heart that what the mountain bandits wanted was nothing more than money and jewelry, and these happened to be what he had.

"Let's go, go up the hill." Li Wu stood up and sighed, and walked forward without hesitation.

"Don't act on your own in the future, you know?" Fortunately, Mu Li didn't have an accident, so Chu Lingyi didn't settle accounts with her. This time it was also thanks to Mu Li, if it weren't for Mu Li's sudden appearance, Chu Lingyi was afraid that there would be no way out.

"I know the prince, this time you owe me a life, you have to be polite to me in the future, I am your savior."

Mu Li pouted, and his smug appearance made Chu Lingyi look more and more happy. However, Chu Lingyi didn't plan to leave Mu Li in Gu Village, he had to have someone send Mu Li back as soon as possible. To deal with the mountain bandits, Chu Lingyi still needs to think carefully, they are no easier to deal with than Li Wu.

The terrain on the mountain is an advantage, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the mountain bandits didn't come down the mountain, Chu Lingyi wouldn't have anything to do with them. Once the fight starts, I really can't take care of Mu Li.

"Pack up tomorrow, and I'll have someone send you back." Chu Lingyi was also reluctant, but he had no choice.

"If I don't leave, you just let me stay with you, anyway, I'll stay in the palace." Regarding the capture of Li Wu, Mu Li felt that he might still be quite talented in arresting people, and he might be able to help Chu Lingyi.

"Don't mess around, it's a matter of life, this king can't tolerate you being willful." If he does other things, Chu Lingyi can follow Mu Li, but this is absolutely not possible.

Mu Li saw Chu Lingyi's face change drastically, knowing that he had violated Chu Lingyi's bottom line, and hurriedly agreed obediently. "Alright, alright, I can't go back."

Hmph, you want to drive me back, where is it so easy. Anyway, I saved your life, how can you treat your life-saving benefactor like this. The people of Gu Village are so pitiful, no matter what, they should help them. Mu Li is kind and generous, and wants to help the people rebuild their homes.

Mu Li obediently agreed to Chu Lingyi to go back, but she had already planned to turn back secretly halfway, so that Chu Lingyi would have no way to take her when the time came.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Ah, am I smiling?"

The corners of Mu Li's mouth rose when he laughed when he thought about his plan, and he was discovered by Chu Lingyi, but he kept quibbling that he didn't laugh. No matter what, how could Chu Lingyi see through himself.

Liuyun came in to talk to Chu Lingyi about the mountain bandits, and during the day today, Liuyun took people to wander around the mountain, and the terrain was indeed a loss to Chu Lingyi and them.

"What, you guys talk first, I'll withdraw first." Mu Li snickered and walked out of the room.

"This ......" Liuyun didn't know what Mu Li was laughing at, with a curious expression.

"Let's get down to business." Mu Li's little caution had already been seen through by Chu Lingyi, but he didn't say anything.

"That's right, my lord. If our people want to go up, it's not impossible, but the risk is greater. The trail is steep and it was difficult for us to fight back once we were spotted. "Liuyun has seen it, and the back of the mountain can go up. But there are few people walking on that road, overgrown with weeds, not to mention the difficulty of traveling, once the movement is a little bigger, it is easy to be spotted.

It can't be up, and it's not about time to wait for the bandits to come down. This made Chu Lingyi a headache, he couldn't wait for the rabbit to wait at the bottom of the mountain for the mountain bandits to throw themselves into the net, this obviously didn't work.

Li Wu and the housekeeper had already arrived on the mountain and were bargaining with the owner of the cottage. Although Li Wu has endless money, he doesn't want to give it all to others, which he has earned with all his might.

"Then go down the mountain, my brother on the mountain, no one wants to agree to the conditions you say. As far as you say, it's not enough for our brother to live for a month. "Now how much food is in the hands of the people, the owner of the village is very clear, the number of times he goes down the mountain is becoming more and more frequent, but the harvest is not as good as before, it is all thanks to the corrupt official Li Wu in front of him.

Now I want him to take out some silver taels to save his life, but I am not happy. Anyway, the brothers on the mountain don't want to get involved with the court because of this.

"The owner of the village, our county magistrate is laughing, naturally it is important to save his life." The housekeeper knew that Li Wu was just distressed about his money, but his life was more important than his life.

"Hmph, look at his appearance, if it weren't for your face, Lao Tzu wouldn't let him come up the mountain." The owner of the village just couldn't get used to Li Wu's appearance of being downtrodden and pretending to be high. "If you don't want to, just let Lao Tzu go."

Li Wu was afraid, he knew that what was waiting under the mountain was Chu Lingyi's knife. Forget it, it's still important to save your life, and as for the money, you can still have it when the time comes. "That's it, just come according to yours, you seven and I three."

Li Wu's gold and silver treasures were hidden in a secret passage at the bottom of the mountain, and if he wanted to get them, he had to have the help of the mountain bandits. And the mountain bandits' offer was to ask for seventy percent, and Li Wu thought for a long time before agreeing.

You must know that Li Wu's money is something that ordinary people can't spend in a few lifetimes, and it's all the people's hard-earned money. If Chu Lingyi found out about this comparison, then Li Wu really had no bargaining chips to trade with the mountain bandits, and they would not protect themselves for no reason.

"Alright, go down and rest, and remember not to run around. Otherwise, your life will be at risk. ”

"How's that, village master, what about my share?" The reason why the housekeeper has always been able to get along well with the mountain bandits is that he usually provides the mountain bandits with the situation under the mountain, which makes the owner of the village a little indulgent to him.

"You're too anxious to take you, I haven't even gotten it yet, you just want it." The owner of the village was angry, and before the money arrived, the housekeeper began to worry, which was clearly distrustful of himself.

However, a person like the housekeeper, the owner of the village has never taken him to heart. Taking advantage of the master's defeat and making a big profit, such a person can see the viciousness of his mind.

Li Wu was very relieved to hide in the mountains, and his unique geographical advantages made Chu Lingyi dare not act easily. Coupled with the mountain bandit's assurance, his money would be transported up the mountain, which made Li Wu feel even more that he didn't have to be afraid of Chu Lingyi at all.

What Li Wu didn't expect was that many faces on the mountain were extremely familiar, and those were forced by Li Wu to go up the mountain to become mountain bandits. They still maintain their kindness, but they have no choice but to obey the orders of the stockade to go down the mountain to rob the other people of food.

"Isn't this the county magistrate, why did he come up the mountain too?"

"Yes, could it be that he had already colluded with the owner of the village, which made us have to take refuge in the owner of the village?"

Several mountain bandits gathered together and stared at Li Wu deadly, making Li Wu shudder and take a few steps back, he had never been afraid of the people, and now he was afraid of the people who were forced to never be mountain bandits.
