() The county magistrate paced back and forth in the study, thinking that he couldn't figure out how to solve this trouble with a headache, so he simply lay down on the bed, planning to take one more step tomorrow, and if the prince really wanted to report it to the capital, he would let people intercept it.

Night.

There were four guards guarding outside the house, and the county magistrate was a suspicious person, who would take his men with him all the time just in case, and he never let his guard down, and sure enough, he was a cunning old fox.

The three bandits who had been sent over secretly watched outside the wall for a long time before they sneaked in, and they slowly approached the guards, wanting to say a few words to them and ask them what their attitude was now.

As soon as he got closer, a stone bounced quickly and hit the bandits, who were attacked before they could react, and with a muffled snort, they were discovered by the guards and immediately surrounded the bandits.

"Who?"

"It's those bandits, they want to kill the county order!"

The guards did not hesitate to draw their swords.

Seeing this, the bandits also determined that the county order did not welcome them at all, and even set up a defense! I instantly understood in my heart, it seems that the county order is very likely to have broken the covenant, and it is no longer worthy of their trust, kill!

For a while, both sides intersected with swords, and the fight was not fierce, and they were all fighting desperately, and no one let anyone.

The county commander on the bed was half-asleep and half-awake, and heard the sound of a fight outside, which was quite chaotic, and immediately woke up, and hurriedly rushed out to see what the situation was, although it was already dark outside, but the light could also see the scene.

At this time, the guards of the county order were scuffling with a few strong men, and those men were clearly wearing the clothes of bandits.

Those big men were like wolves and tigers, and it didn't take long for them to beat the guards down, and they looked up and saw the county order at the door of the room, pointed at him and shouted: "It's that dog officer, catch the leader and bring it to us, there will be a heavy reward!" ”

"Yes!"

I couldn't think about it, the county order ran away, and the three bandits behind him chased after him, and the corners of his mouth scolded the dog official not to run.

The county order ran in embarrassment, although he was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to turn back, for fear of being killed by the bandits on the spot, even if he didn't kill him, he would be taken back to the soil

The bandit nest is also dead.

But there were also a lot of guards in the county order, and soon a few people jumped out one after another to protect the county order's retreat, but the county commander did not dare to stop, after all, many of the guards here were fancy, and they couldn't beat those vicious mountain bandits.

Sure enough, the few people who had just stopped were beaten down by the bandits not long after, and then chased after them, but they were blocked by five or six guards who rushed over, and this time because there were more guards, the bandits could only be busy solving them first.

Seeing that the bandits had lost the upper hand, the county commander began to become proud, pointing at the bandits and ordering: "Give them all to the official to catch them, and catch these bold fanatics!" ”

The bandits were enraged, rose up to resist, and dealt with the guards again, this time, the county order was forced into a corner, he shrank in the corner in panic and trembled, and shouted at the corner of his mouth: "Bold, you dare to break into my county order, I am the county order, what do you want to do?" Don't want to die? ”

"Let you say, let you catch, huh? If you have the ability to fight us! The bandits surrounded him and beat him so badly that the county commander screamed and shouted for help.

However, the other guards either didn't hear it, or they were too frightened to step forward when they saw such a fierce bandit.

Bai Rong saw the county order being beaten on the roof, although there was no wave in his heart, but he was a little helpless by the pig-like cry: "Take action, otherwise he will be killed." ”

Gu Ziyuan smiled disdainfully: "His life is so hard, he won't die so easily, but for the sake of him screaming so badly, I'll help him." ”

With that, three more stones appeared in his hand, and they flew out with a few swishs, and the speed that could hardly be captured by the sight, the stones quickly and fiercely hit the joints of the three bandits, and after an exclamation, the bandits all fell to the ground.

The bandit covered his wounds on the ground and shouted: "Who? Come out for me! ”

"Who's sneaking up?"

Gu Ziyuan led Bai Rong out of the courtyard gate on the other side, looking at the people on the ground condescendingly, the county order had been beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he saw that the people who came were Gu Ziyuan and Bai Rong, and hurriedly hid behind them.

Those bandits didn't know who he was, but they also guessed that it was them who he sneaked attacked, and they were a little jealous in their hearts, and they didn't dare to act rashly, and they stared at Gu Ziyuan fiercely.

The county order wiped a nosebleed, but no

Forgot to turn the spearhead at those bandits: "He and he are bandits, they want to kill me, Your Highness save me!" ”

Gu Ziyuan pretended to be puzzled: "You are bandits? What to do at the prefectural office. ”

As he spoke, he squinted his eyes and looked at the county order beside him, and asked, "Lord county order, I remember that you promised me to suppress the bandits, right?" Why do bandits come looking for you? Or should you explain why the bandits know about your plan to kill the bandits and come after you? ”

Hearing the word "suppression", one of the bandits was red-eyed, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this dog official really killed him with a knife just now." ”

He also wanted to pounce on the county order, but was pulled back by the two accomplices behind him, and said in a low voice: "Don't move, be careful of the people in front of you." ”

Compared with those bandits, the county commander is now more afraid of Gu Ziyuan, and he hurriedly explained: "No, it's not like this, Your Highness, you listen to my explanation, I don't know why thank you bandits suddenly ran out to kill me, Your Highness, you have to be the master for me." ”

Gu Ziyuan glanced at him coldly, and then asked the bandits: "Say, what do you want to do here, don't want to leave here if you can't say it." ”

"Hmph, we won't say anything, if we have the ability, we will kill us." The three bandits, with one heart and one mind, look like they are really not afraid of death and are slaughtered by others.

It seems that the righteousness and loyalty of these bandits are much higher than that of this dog officer, Gu Ziyuan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and was about to say something, when suddenly the bandits exploded into a cloud of smoke, and when the smoke dispersed, they had already escaped through the smoke.

Of course, Gu Ziyuan deliberately ran away with them, in order to let them go back to report the news.

The county order saw that the people ran away, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart fell to the bottom again, this is over, and the bandits will not let go of the county order.

At this point, the other side.

The bandit leader, who had been waiting in the cave for a long time, saw that the people sent out had not come back for a long time, which confirmed the rumors that the county order had secretly stored troops. ”

At that moment, he was so angry that he swept everything off the table, and slashed the wood with a big knife.

The bandit leader opened his eyes angrily: "How can this be reasonable, it seems that this dog official really wants to break the contract, since this is the case, we don't have to be polite." ”
