Of course, the bandits don't believe that the old fritter of the county order will not have murderous intentions, after all, suppressing bandits is also good for the county order.

"Lock him up first." The bandit leader said coldly.

"It's a really difficult road, and I don't know how the beggar got used to walking like this, it's really not easy." Bai Rong cautiously walked up the hill in front of her, because she was a woman, her physical strength was always not enough, so she followed Gu Ziyuan, and the team was exploring the way ahead.

"Be careful, pull mine tight." After a pause, Gu Ziyuan added, "Tighten my clothes and don't step on the air." ”

"Oops!" As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Rong's feet slipped, and his body was about to fall backwards.

Gu Ziyuan reacted very quickly and hugged her, and couldn't help frowning: "Didn't you say be careful?" I don't even look at it, and if I fall, it hurts for a few days. ”

"Isn't it because you're going to pull me, I'm sure you'll help me, so I'm relieved." Bai Rong said disapprerovingly.

Although she said this to trust him, Gu Ziyuan was a little worried when she heard it.

His tone was extremely serious: "Then you have to promise me first, if I am not there, you must pay great attention to yourself, and you can't be so careless anymore, otherwise what will you do if something happens?" ”

When he spoke, with irresistible sternness, he seemed very impersonal.

"Oh." Bai Rong nodded, and the glimmer in his eyes dimmed instantly.

She began to reflect on whether she had been holding him back all along? Perhaps, he will be a little annoyed by her little willfulness.

"I didn't mean to blame you, don't be angry." Gu Ziyuan began to regret in his heart, he had spoken too much just now.

was afraid that something would happen to her, so she said that in a hurry, but she didn't want to make her show that expression.

Bai Rong shook his head and smiled reluctantly: "I'm not angry, you're right, you won't be by my side all the time, it's because I'm too used to you always protecting me, and I should also learn to protect myself." ”

After a while, Gu Ziyuan said in a deep voice: "I won't leave." ”

To be precise, he couldn't do without her, but he said it vaguely, and outsiders couldn't hear it. However, this seems to be a somewhat unclear and affectionate sentence, but somehow, it warmed Bai Rong's heart again.

She answered softly.

"Okay."

Side.

After retreating with his troops, the beggar pretended to go down the mountain to find a lot of men to come back, and then turned around and went up the mountain again to deal with the bandits, who had long been prepared and were secretly ambushing.

The gray-clothed beggar was no less familiar with the mountain road than those bandits, and when he fell into the trap designed by the bandits in advance, he suddenly led his troops to another road, but no matter how he walked, he seemed to be walking in the wrong direction as if he didn't know the way.

The bandit leader, who had been observing, wondered: "What the hell do they want to do?" Walking around, why is it so weird. ”

Was it deliberate?

The little military master narrowed his eyes and guessed: "It's not simple, this prince is mostly a cunning and vigilant person, he can detect our ambush in advance, but he is not familiar with the mountain roads, and he is wandering around trying his luck to go up the mountain." ”

After walking around with the soldiers for a long time, some of the soldiers were not happy and began to ask the beggars: "Why don't we just break in and save the county order?" ”

They rushed forward, and if they cooperated with the prince, they would definitely be able to take the bandits' nest in one go.

Shaking his head, the beggar thought to himself that these soldiers had not seen much of the world, and they were still too young, so he said earnestly: "Not to mention that His Royal Highness the prince can go to the back mountain, it is that our people rush in, and we can only walk around without food." ”

The soldiers asked: "Then what do you want to do, and you don't fight, and you take us around, do you really know how to walk on the mountain road?" ”

"You don't have to be impatient, I know you look down on me, but I also have a temper, don't provoke me." The beggar said unhappily.

The soldiers were still unconvinced and were whispering.

The beggar said angrily: "Do you really think that I am leading the way indiscriminately? If I hadn't led the way well, we would have been in their ambush a long time ago, not attacking to delay time, not letting them catch to save their lives, all of them will shut up and listen to me when they all understand. ”

Only then did the soldiers react, although they seemed to have been walking around, but they had never encountered bandits, and it was impossible for the bandits to let them go in the mountains, and if it weren't for the beggar's clever maneuvering, they wouldn't have been able to jump.

On the back hill of the bandits' lair, Gu Ziyuan and Bai Rong finally arrived at their destination with their team, and when they looked up, they could see the building of the bandits' den, they did not rush to attack, but hid in the dense bushes, waiting for the most suitable time.

When night falls, insects chirp and birds chirp.

The bandits still sent people to patrol the old nest, but most of them were either resting or going to deal with the fake prince in the front, and the beggars over there kept going around with the bandits, and the bandits couldn't catch anyone, so they were so angry that they couldn't sleep.

Taking advantage of the vacancy in the nest, Gu Ziyuan gave an order, and the officers and soldiers rushed in with shouts, and completely took the bandits' nest, while the beggars on the other side heard the movement and began to command their teams to attack head-on and encircle and suppress the bandits.

The mountain bandits were overwhelmed by the beggar's precise attack, and hurriedly retreated to the old nest, only to find that this place had been suppressed, and Gu Ziyuan and the others had been guarding the bandit leader and the other bandits to retreat, and they were caught off guard.

The bandits had no way to retreat, and were caught by the menacing officers and soldiers, and the bandit leader was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and for the lives of his brothers, he could only bow his head and surrender in humiliation.

Finally, all the bandits were wiped out.

"Success, success!"

The soldiers shouted excitedly, and they all felt happy that they had never tried to win such a battle.

Returning to the county seat with the fruits of victory, the county citizens learned that the bandits had been successfully suppressed, and they all began to celebrate happily, and the whole county was as lively as if it was a New Year, and fireworks crackled in front of the county government all night.

In the county governor's mansion, a celebration banquet was simply placed.

Gu Ziyuan expressed his appreciation for the county order for the first time: "You have made meritorious service this time, I heard that you did not escape from the battle, nor did you confess our plan this time, it seems that you still have a conscience." ”

Bai Rong also nodded and said, "Lord County Commander, you have finally done a practical thing for the people." ”

"Hey, Xia Guan also did his best, I know that I have done many bad things before, but, but I also know that I am wrong, I can get the praise of His Royal Highness, Xia Guan really can't stand it." The county magistrate was very weak-hearted, and he felt ashamed when he thought back to what he had done before.

But there are indeed many and powerful mountain bandits here, and they are also good at ambushing and sneak attacks, if it is not for the lack of a complete method, cooperating with them may be a way to protect the people of the county, although the county order has also been selfish, swallowing a lot of money and food of the people.

Gu Ziyuan then said: "If you know your mistakes, you can change, if you want to regain the trust of the people, you need to do more." ”
