This is a cave hidden in the middle of the mountain, if it weren't for the many dark whistles, Yuan Ji and the others would not have discovered it so quickly.

The torches lit up this side, and Li Minglou could see the tragic death of these bandits, they were all wearing ordinary clothes, but the weapons scattered under their bodies were not ordinary people could have.

The cover at the entrance of the cave had been removed, and under the support of the soldiers' torches, Li Minglou walked in and saw the stacked weapons, neatly arranged by category, swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows and arrows on the ground, and even a pile of armor.

This bandit not only robbed a small mountain village, but also robbed Huainan's armory? Seeing this scene, everyone came up with this idea.

Li Minglou leaned over and grabbed a long knife.

"I've seen it, and there's no sign." One of the soldiers replied.

Li Minglou swung her long knife and slashed at a pillar on the side, and despite her small strength, the pillar was cut out of a deep ditch.

It is very sharp, and it is a good weapon made by officials.

"It's a pity that there isn't a single one alive." Motoyoshi said.

"They are officers and soldiers." Li Minglou said, very sure that there was no need to inquire anymore.

Yuan Ji had already decided on this answer in his heart, but he was still puzzled: "Is it the soldiers and horses of Huainan Province?" What does this do? ”

In the past, when serving as a soldier on the border, there would be scouts dressed as ordinary people, and even lurk in the enemy's territory, but in the hinterland of Daxia Huainan, what did officers and soldiers do dressed up as bandits? And did what a real bandit would do.

"They are not soldiers and horses from Huainan Province, they are soldiers and horses from other places, and they came here to pretend to be soldiers and horses of Huainan Province in order to provoke chaos." Li Ming said.

She was so sure about the future and the original purpose that Yuanji didn't know how to ask for a while.

Li Minglou didn't explain any more, looking at the weapons in the cave, there is no need to guess, this is very likely to be the soldiers and horses who came to Huainan to provoke a rebellion in Xuanwudao.

It was already hidden in Huainan Road so early, no wonder the rebellion spread so quickly, and as soon as it happened, it burned the entire Huainan Road, and the fire had already been sown.

This time it was really a mistake, Li Minglou's brows furrowed again, she actually came here to see if she could save Han Xu from the chaos, but now she inadvertently ruined Xuanwu Dao, to be exact, Ankang Mountain's arrangement, will it startle the snake?

Of course, if she knew that these bandits were rebels of Xuanwudao, she would also do it, and the rebels in Ankang Mountain did many evils and were miserable, and everyone was punished.

How can you not startle the snake? At least delay for some time, or this is also a counterattack of fate, to prevent her from changing Han Xu's fate, and let her know that fate cannot be changed.

Seeing Li Minglou's distraction, Yuan Ji didn't bother her anymore until someone ran in outside the door: "I found another cave." ”

What's this time? Li Minglou went immediately, and before he could get there, he heard Zhang Xiaoqian's shout.

"Lan Niang! Lan Niang! ”

The woman's cries and shouts also erupted.

It turned out that the place where the women who had been plundered by the bandits were held, and the cave here was smaller than the armory, and the stench was stinking, and at this time, under the light of the torches, the women of all sizes who were unclothed huddled together and cried in horror.

With Zhang Xiaoqian's shouting, a woman screamed and crawled out of it, the husband and wife hugged their heads and cried when they saw each other, and several other men in the village also stepped forward to shout the names of their wives, daughters, sisters and others, but unfortunately not everyone got their wish.

Lan Niang, who was the first to be appeased in her husband's arms, told everyone the sad news that some women were taken away by the bandits and did not come back, or were humiliated to death, or committed suicide unwilling to be humiliated.

And the soldiers also brought the news that many corpses were found in the ravine next to them, and the grieving men found their relatives among the piles of corpses, and even louder cries rang out on the mountain.

Li Minglou sighed, asked the soldiers to take off their clothes, and the kumquat gave the women to cover their bodies to comfort them, Lan Niang, whose emotions had not been completely appeased, also left her husband Zhang Xiaoqian's arms to help, and it was more convincing for her to be appeased.

"We're here to save you."

"Don't be afraid, you can go home."

"The bandits have been exterminated."

Kumquat's crisp female voice echoed in the cave, dispelling the thick bloody aura.

"Did the government come to save us?" Many girls cried and asked.

The government will always be the biggest reliance in the hearts of the people, and it is the heaven and earth they trust, but it is a pity that this heaven does not care about them These ants, Li Minglou sighed and nodded.

Seeing her nodding, Kumquat, who was originally going to give credit to her young lady, swallowed her words back: "Yes, we found officers and soldiers to save everyone." ”

Saying this neither goes against the will of the young lady, nor does it cover up the credit of the young lady, the kumquat has the little wit of the big girl.

The arrival of the officers and soldiers of the government calmed everyone's last doubts, although the crying continued, the mood was much better, everyone was wrapped in clothes and ready to walk out, and there was another shout from inside.

"Finches, finches, finches, are you back?"

The women crowded in the hole shook and let out an uneasy exclamation, and some stumbled out, and before they could stand firmly, they fell to the ground, and their hands stretched forward indiscriminately: "Bird, great, you have found officers and soldiers." ”

The woman's voice was hoarse and joyful.

Li Minglou turned around and saw the woman lying on the ground, at this time she was also raising her head, revealing an older but still charming face under her messy hair, but a pair of eyes were gouged out.

It's not that it's been gouged out now, and the lost eyes are traces of aging, at least more than ten years, but even so, it's scary at first glance, and Kumquat is running over to help her, and she sits on the ground with a frightened sound.

Fang Cai saw the dead man and was not scared like this.

The woman grabbed Kumquat's feet and shouted with joy, "Sparrow! ”

Kumquat waved his hand: "I'm not." ”

The woman didn't care, grabbed Kumquat's feet and shouted, "Great, finch, I know you can do it." ”

The blind woman was so angry that the kumquat couldn't break free and had to shout helplessly, "Who is the finch?" ”

Lan Niang walked over timidly: "It's her daughter-in-law." ”

Kumquat sighed: "Where?" ”

Lan Niang stretched out her hand and pointed in one direction, and there was still a man's cry over there, and the mountain where the woman's dead body was thrown just now was found.

Kumquat sighed and stopped talking.

"I've seen the finch, they caught it with me, and when they broke free and ran away in the cave, the bandit went to catch it, and the woman was very powerful, and she jumped down the mountain with a thief in her arms." Lan Niang said in a low voice.

One woman looked at the woman timidly and added: "She seems to be a madman, she didn't know that her daughter-in-law was dead, and she reassured us not to be afraid, because her daughter-in-law went to call the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers would rescue us." ”

Unlike the other people's crying, the woman had been laughing happily, but when she didn't see her daughter-in-law agree, she was a little anxious, let go of the kumquat, got up and stretched out her hand forward: "Sparrow? Sparrows? ”

The terrain was uneven, and she couldn't see her body staggering, stumbling and falling forward after barely a few steps.

Li Minglou stretched out his hand to catch it, and the woman fell into her arms, feeling her daughter's delicate body.

The woman looked up: "Finch! Did you call the officers and soldiers? ”

Kumquat jumped up and reached out to pull the woman away from Li Minglou.

Li Minglou shook the woman's hand: "Yes, I called the officers and soldiers." ”
