When I arrived at the mountain, I searched for half a day before I found the stronghold of the bandits. Halfway up the mountain, wooden houses were built, which were already quite large-scale.

Ye Xun and Meng Xingci immediately walked in, and after inspection, they found that this place had been emptied, and the weapons and stolen money were gone.

Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "Let them run!" ”

Meng Xingci was thoughtful: "As far as I know, this gang of bandits is just a group of rabble, and it was only in the past two years that they began to come out to make trouble. But judging from the scale of this stronghold, it seems that it has been entrenched for a long time. Also, looking at the traces, it should be left in a hurry. But last night, Shizi had already caught all the villagers, could there still be fish that slipped through the net? ”

"Impossible." Song Nian said without hesitation: "Last night, the prince had already sent someone to guard the Fairy Mountain, and he didn't find anyone at all, and it was impossible for anyone to leave. ”

"Just because no one is found doesn't mean no one has left." Meng Xingci said lightly.

"Authentically?" Ye Xun's brows were deeply locked.

This is not something that ordinary thieves can do, and the thieves of Fairy Mountain must have something else to hide.

Meng Xingci suddenly looked at Ye Xun: "If they suddenly left in a hurry last night, why didn't they burn this place down, and wait for us to go up the mountain to find out the clues?" ”

Ye Xun and Meng Xingci glanced at each other, Ye Xun grabbed Meng Xingci and strode out, shouting: "Get out of here!" ”

As Ye Xun's voice fell, a rumbling sound sounded, the gunpowder was ignited, and in an instant, the fire in the village was everywhere.

Ye Xun flew out with Meng Xingci in his arms and fell to the ground.

Meng Xingci was pressed to the ground by Ye Xun, and her face was buried tightly in his chest. She raised her head, Ye Xun had fallen into a coma, but he was still holding her tightly.

Song Nian also flew out with Ling Huan in his arms, but fortunately, the two of them were in front of the door, and the impact was not big. Ling Huan's whole body pressed on Song Nian's body, she wanted to stand up, but her hand accidentally pressed Song Nian's chest.

Song Nian gritted his teeth: "You open it for me!" ”

Ling Huan was a little weak-hearted, she didn't react just now, if it wasn't for Song Nian dragging her, she would definitely be injured.

The two glanced at each other and blurted out: "My lord! ”

"Lord Shizi!"

The two hurriedly went to find Meng Xingci and Ye Xun, but fortunately, Ye Xun quickly sobered up. Looking at the stockade that had been blown up, Ye Xun rubbed the corners of his sore forehead.

Meng Xingci helped Ye Xun to stand up, and Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "Let's go back." ”

Ye Xun's expression was as usual, but Meng Xingci noticed that his blood was dripping from his sleeve. If it wasn't for saving her just now, he wouldn't have been injured with his martial arts.

Meng Xingci took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Ye Xun's hand.

Ye Xun was stunned, the young man's fingers were dry and warm, and he held his fingertips, making his heart tremble slightly.

He turned his head sideways, and saw the handsome young man looking as usual, and he clenched the handkerchief in his hand.

Returning to his residence at the foot of the mountain, Ye Xun said that he would continue to track down these mountain bandits.

Meng Xingci still remembered his injury in his heart, and he was a little absent-minded.

Ye Xun looked at the young man and asked, "I want to go back to the barracks, what about you?" Do you want to go back to Suiyuan County now? Or do you want to continue to inspect farming? ”

Meng Xingci asked hesitantly, "Has the cow dung been cleaned up?" ”

A smile flashed in Ye Xun's eyes, he didn't speak, and Song Nian shouted.

"Of course it's cleaned up." Song Nian snorted coldly and said: "My lord is worthy of being the youngest Tanhualang of Daqi, and he is extremely intelligent, and he can come up with such a method. As soon as the fire burned, the whole street was covered with seedlings, and the stench was so bad that every house closed its doors and windows. ”

This is the hottest June, and even the Dingyong Marquis Mansion has not been spared. The smell was wafting, because the people were angry about this matter, and they scolded Su Nianci behind their backs.

Meng Xingci showed a shallow pear vortex, and his smile was happy and a little proud.

Ling Huan snorted lightly: "It's no wonder that my family is an adult, my family is smart and capable, and he has a good heart, so he wouldn't do such a thing." But the man who poured cow dung was clearly reaping the consequences. ”

Song Nian couldn't see Ling Huan defending Meng Xingci.

Meng Xingci stopped Ling Huan and said beautifully: "Ling Huan, it's not good for us to deal with those people. Now that the filth has been resolved, we may have been out for a long time, and it is time to go back. ”

Ling Huan nodded heavily.

Ye Xun arranged a team of guards and Song Nian to send Meng Xingci and others back to Suiyuan County, and when Meng Xingci came back, he endured the murderous gaze of Li Guijun and other officials who were left behind.

Meng Xingci was taken aback, she turned her head and asked Ling Huan, "He, why do they look at Master Ben like this?" Is it because you're angry that Lord Ben didn't bring them gifts? ”

Ling Huan thought for a while and comforted her: "Adults don't have to care, the adults have worked hard these days, and the adults haven't eaten well, so I'll go and make some food for the adults." ”

Meng Xingci nodded again and again: "Do more." ”

Meng Xing resigned and went back to freshen up and clean himself up before returning to the county office. Song Nian had already hugged a lot of official documents to Meng Xingci.

"Now that your lord has returned, it's time to take care of official business." Song Nian said expressionlessly, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.

Meng Xingci asked casually, "What happened to the injured brothers?" ”

Song Nian was stunned for a moment, and his expression was much better: "They were already sent back yesterday, and they have already arranged for the doctor to go for treatment." After a pause, he said, "Your Excellency ordered to treat them at all costs, and they will be fine." ”

Meng Xingci nodded, and he didn't bother about this matter anymore.

Ling Huan came out with the prepared meal and said happily, "My lord, I'm coming to eat." ”

Meng Xingci was just about to stand up when he heard a commotion at the door.
