Shen Fengjiu's interrogation quickly came to fruition.

This group of mountain bandits has a stronghold in a hidden place on the mountainside, and there are hundreds of people in total, and this group in Fu'an Township is only half.

And their leader only knows that he is a native of the Western Regions, who is decisive and ruthless, and he doesn't know anything else.

"The slaughter of this group of people in Fu'an Township is just a small minion who can't really get in touch with the leader." Yang Che said with a frown.

If only he and Lu Zhaoling went, it would be too dangerous.

Yang Che glanced at Shen Fengjiu, and he didn't know if this person would help.

Lu Zhaoling obviously had the same consideration, frowning, trying to come up with a countermeasure.

If you want to ask the government for help, the nearest town has to climb over the mountain in front of you, and you may encounter mountain bandits on the way, but it is too far to return to Jinzhou.

While Lu Zhaoling was pondering, Shen Fengjiu suddenly spoke: "Two days later, there will be an army rushing to the west to pass by. ”

Lu Zhaoling's eyes lit up: "It's the army of the imperial court!" Can you ask them for help? ”

"At this time, rushing to the aid of the Western Regions, it must be an elite army with an emergency military order, and it may not stop to help." Yang Che worried, "Even if the army wants to pass through the mountains, the mountain bandits should not take the initiative to provoke the army if they have a little brain." ”

Lu Zhaoling felt that Yang Che's speculation was very reasonable, but he was still a little unwilling: "Shouldn't the army of the imperial court eliminate harm for the people?" ”

"It depends on what kind of person the general is." Yang Che said.

Lu Zhaoling thought about it for a while, and finally sighed helplessly: "There is no other way now, wait for the army to come in two days, let's try it." ”

Yang Che nodded.

Both of them spent the two days worriedly.

At noon on the third day, an army of about 50 men passed through Fu'an Township as expected.

"So few people?" Lu Zhaoling was a little surprised when he saw this team of people from a distance.

"There were less than fifty people, and they said they were rushing to help...... It's more like you're going to escort something to the front, maybe it's a secret order? Yang Che speculated.

This army is too small in number, and given the possible losses caused by the encirclement and suppression of the mountain bandits, it is even less likely that they will be willing to help.

Lu Zhaoling was anxious in his heart, and watched from a distance as this army gradually approached.

Perhaps sensing the unusual silence in Fu'an Township, the army had noticeably slowed down as it approached the village, and began to remain on alert.

When they finally got close enough, the man at the head saw Lu Zhaoling's appearance clearly and restrained the horse in surprise.

Lu Zhaoling also saw the person clearly at this time, and he was also surprised.

The leader is actually the eldest son of the Zhenguo General's Mansion and the eldest brother of Li Zhuer, Li Yu, who had a relationship with Lu Zhaoling during the autumn hunt.

"Is that you?" Lu Zhaoling was the first to speak.

Li Yu looked at her in disbelief for a long time before he got off the horse, came to her alone, and said in a low voice: "Princess Tongguang? You're not ......."

"Ah......" Lu Zhaoling remembered that not long after he escaped from the Anping Palace, he heard news from the palace that Princess Tongguang had hanged herself.

"I ......" Lu Zhaoling looked at Li Yu with an embarrassed expression, not knowing how to explain it to him.

However, after Li Yu was surprised, he calmed down first.

"Needless to say." He said to Lu Zhaoling.

The affairs in the palace, which have been decreed by the emperor, have already been concluded, and the secret has nothing to do with Li Yu.

"What's going on now? You stopped the army, is there something going on in this village? Li Yu looked at the dead village and asked Lu Zhaoling.
