Gang of bandits? Jiao Yuzhen was slightly stunned, although he had been living near the core of Qingguo's power since he was reborn, and he had no chance to contact any robbers or outcasts, but she had been the head of Liufu in less than a year, doing business...... Raised as a small flower bud in the deep boudoir, but she still knows the power of the bandit gang.

Even if he didn't go into battle in person, then the people under his hands all needed to go south and north, even if Xin Pengyi made chaos in her world at that time, in addition to the remnants of the Xuanyuan Dynasty and some people's rebels, the most headache for the court was these bandit gangs, if they were put into the twenty-first century, they would be Somali pirates, those terrorists who hid and came out to make trouble at any time!

Although Qingguo is said to be very powerful, there are some people internally who are ambitious and ready to move, and there are alliances of various countries abroad, which are always threatened, so for these bandit gangs, they can generally only take conservative defensive measures, but this Lixiang Village is probably a very remote small village, and the yamen here does not have so many troops, so the choice is only to protect the town where they are located, and selectively put some small villages, Lixiang Village is the one that has been abandoned.

Sister-in-law Zhou is also literate, and when she looked at the content of the official document, her sallow face turned white in an instant, and she and her husband looked at each other for a long time before she said slowly: "Run...... Before they come, take whatever you can, and let's run away overnight. ”

Not only did Sister-in-law Zhou say this, but basically the villagers who could move agreed with this, but Jiao Yuzhen didn't think so, she glanced around, her eyes fell on a well not far away, so she ran over, stood on the edge of the well, took a deep breath and immediately took a breath, and then said loudly: "Everyone listen to me!" ”

Jiao Yuzhen's voice made the villagers of Lixiang Village, who were already in a mess, stunned for a moment, and then looked at her one after another.

Finding that everyone's attention was on him, Jiao Yuzhen would continue to speak loudly: "There are only three days, and you are all people who drag your family with you, even if you don't take any luggage, you can't go far." The reason why the bandit gangs are terrible is that they use different layouts and combat methods to attack the target, and the imperial court has always disdained the kind of indiscriminate methods, but for the bandit gangs, as long as the goal can be achieved, what about the three indiscriminate? Since the bandit gang can target this area, there must be a lot of people coming, and it is even possible that several gangs have joined forces to take down the nearby villages and towns, and because of this, the yamen can only manage their towns, not our lives or deaths. Even if we run away now, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape the encirclement of those robbers, and if we meet robbers on the way to escape, then we will die faster! So we can't run now, we can only defend! ”

"How do you keep it?" A simple-looking, simple-looking, dark-skinned man asked first, in fact, he, like all the natives of Lixiang Village, didn't want to leave this Lixiang Village at all, but after hearing a lot of rumors about those bandit gangs, even if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would feel scared, not to mention that the yamen had explained that they didn't care about Lixiang Village!

Jiao Yu Zhen Ling hooked his lips and pointed to the ground with the index finger of his right hand: "Haven't you ever found that there is a very large tunnel under this village?" As long as we dig a passage from a hidden place and go down, everyone enters the tunnel, the enemy is in the light, and we are in the dark, it will be much easier to deal with them. ”

When the man who spoke first heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head like all the others, who had lived here for so many years without knowing what secret passages were in the ground beneath them.

"We've lived in so long and we've never seen any secret passages!" A thin man shouted loudly, "You're not from Lixiang Village, how do you know if there's a secret passage here?" Could it be that you are a spy sent by those robbers, deliberately saying that there is some secret way, and tricking us into staying and not escaping, so that you can kill us? ”

As soon as this man spoke, everyone present immediately began to discuss, although everyone was reluctant to leave the native place, if there was really an underground secret passage, let them hide in it, and still be able to repel the robbers, it would be the best, but ...... This man is too reasonable, that little girl is from outside, how can she know that there is a secret passage under this village or something? And I heard that although the little girl was bought by Sister-in-law Zhou, it was not a good thing, and she was lazy to eat, which made Sister-in-law Zhou very angry......

The words of a little girl who had been bought to work for less than three months could not compare to the words of those native-born villagers, so the thin man said that Jiao Yuzhen was a spy sent by the robbers, which made everyone believe it, and Jiao Yuzhen was not allowed to explain anything, so someone approached Jiao Yuzhen with a wooden stick and a hoe.

Jiao Yuzhen screamed in her heart, I used to watch movies or novels, and those protagonists who traveled to ancient times could turn things around in one or two sentences, and they won the hearts of the people and supported beautiful men, but she just had a rare compassionate heart to save the lives of these villagers, they actually bit Lu Dongbin, and they didn't know the hearts of good people!

"If you really don't believe it, you can also dig a hole according to what I said, if there is really a secret passage, you can not only live, but also defend your home and country! If I'm wrong and not right, you can arrest me again! ”

Jiao Yuzhen's words were very reasonable, and the villagers who gathered around him paused, but the thin man shouted again: "If you want to escape, you naturally have to flee now, if you dig the tunnel and find nothing, you won't be able to escape even if you want to!" You girl has been talking nonsense to trick us into staying, it's clear that she is a spy sent by the robbers, hurry up and catch her! ”

Jiao Yuzhen knew that it was useless to say anything, she was really soft-spoken, even if she showed her ability, it was estimated that no one would care about her, so she didn't resist, so she let those villagers catch her, and then she was tied into a dumpling and thrown into a firewood house at the entrance of the village, and the other villagers didn't care about her anymore, and went to pack up their things and prepare to flee for their lives.

All the jewelry on his body was gone, including the token of Prince Jing and Princess Jing, although Jiao Yuzhen was not worried about those robbers, but he didn't understand why he suddenly came to such a far place, the capital...... I don't know how.

******

"With the capital as the center, the place within a radius of three hundred miles has been carefully searched, and still nothing has been found." Qingying's figure flashed into Jimo Hanfei's imperial study, and when he knelt down on one knee, he said the words.

After listening to Qingying's words, Jimo Hanfei's face sitting behind the desk did not change, but Qingyun, who was kneeling beside Liuxun and the others, turned pale, and he actually couldn't understand why he heard Jiao Yuzhen's call in the blink of an eye, but he couldn't see anyone, and when these secret guards arrived, the horse in between, Jiao Yuzhen was gone. They searched the neighborhood carefully on the spot, and they found nothing except the princess token that fell on the ground.

Hearing Qingying's words, Xiao Yi and Du Chenghuan, who were standing beside Jimo Hanfei, also had very bad faces, but if the secret guard couldn't find it and there was no news from the Crescent Moon Pavilion, then where would Jiao Yuzhen be hidden?

"Look for it again, look farther away." That is, Mo Hanfei opened his mouth lightly, but even though his tone was light, it also revealed a kind of anger that people couldn't ignore.

"Lord Wang, it has been almost twelve hours since the princess disappeared after falling off the horse last night, if someone with excellent light skills takes her away, I am afraid that there will be five hundred miles." Xiao Yi spoke softly, "But no matter how good the light work is, as long as it is a person, you need to rest, I believe that as long as the other party stops, the secret guard can find it, and ...... Although the princess can't be called martial arts, she still has the defensive ability after getting close, and it may not take too long to have news of the princess. The prince might as well have a meal first. ”

Jimo Hanfei waved his hand, indicating that he was not in the mood to eat, and then asked Du Chenghuan: "What news is there from the imperial court?" ”

"Nei Ying, who was arranged in the palace, sent a message to him, saying that the emperor should not know about the disappearance of the princess, but after nightfall, the emperor went to see Prince Ze, and he must have moved his mind to deal with Prince Ze. After all, the year has passed, and the hearts of the people who were in turmoil because of the mutiny before have also been gathered, and now is the best time to deal with Prince Ze. It's just that Prince Ze has always been extremely smart, and the women in his house have more or less something to do with the ministers of the court, and there are quite a lot of people who want to keep Prince Ze. ”

"It's despicable to use a woman to maintain your network." Jimo Hanfei's handsome face was covered with frost, "But he is that kind of person, he helped the emperor deal with me back then, and after I was seriously injured, he found out that he was likely to end up with a rabbit and a dog, so he immediately secretly treated me well, he wanted to maintain this relationship well, but ...... He married Jiao Lihe's eldest daughter, not only me, but even the emperor was suspicious. If it weren't for that Miss Jiao as the concubine, maybe his arrangements would have gone better. Now that my concubine is missing, he's about to be released, you say...... What is the connection between the two? ”

Xiao Yi is a straight gut, so he responded directly: "My subordinates don't know." ”

Du Chenghuan's eyes flashed a look of understanding, and he spoke in a suppressed voice: "Prince Ze must think that your plan will affect him coming out of prison, so you can only draw the attention of the prince away first, the prince has been very good to the princess in the past few months, so if something happens to the princess, the prince will naturally have to deal with it first, and he will not have the heart to care about him." Woman ...... It has always been Prince Ze's means. ”

"That's what I thought the same way, but there were still some things I hadn't figured out." Jimo Hanfei raised his hand to support his forehead, and rubbed his temples with his thumb, "First...... Prince Ze has lost control of the royal secret guards, and the secret guards in Prince Jing's mansion should not have his men and horses, how did he take Yu Zhen away under the noses of Qingyun and them. Second, Yu Zhen and Prince Ze are sisters, I heard that ...... Although the relationship was not good before, it was quite good later. After all, Jiao Ruzhi has asked our Crescent Moon Pavilion to investigate Yu Zhen's whereabouts, and he is bent on protecting this sister. Prince Ze was desperate to marry Jiao Ruzhi back then, so he must have been sincere, so would he ignore Jiao Ruzhi's feelings to catch Yu Zhen? It's me...... I have some scruples. ”

Although Du Chenghuan wanted to laugh a little because of Jimo Hanfei's last sentence that seemed to be said involuntarily, he didn't dare to laugh when he thought that Jiao Yuzhen's whereabouts were unknown now.

Ji Mo Hanfei touched his chest, he always felt that he had been calm recently, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and that feeling was like a storm......

"Lord Wang......" Qingyun hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Before the princess disappeared, she asked Quicksand to investigate the matter of the dead businessman Xin Pengyi, and then the picture scroll that was sent to Yiwang Xuan yesterday morning, the princess was very concerned and asked Yan Duo to investigate those little beggars, and then the princess disappeared...... The subordinates think that these things are connected. ”

"Go on." Hearing Qingyun's words, Mo Hanfei suddenly thought of something.

"Xin Pengyi's matter has not been reported yet, so the subordinates don't know, but the subordinates know that the princess doesn't want to go to the palace because of the painting, but the princess has nowhere to go, so she said that she wants to go to the light source jade mine. If the person who sent the scroll knew the princess's temperament very well, if this was the case, then that person could also know that the princess had nowhere to go, so he would go to the light source jade mine, and then ...... There pretending to hunt down the prince of Yan Kingdom, Hao Chengtian, in order to lure the princess over! ”
