Shen Mingnan glanced at him lightly and sneered, "I don't know what Lord Han thinks?" ”

Han Zhi pondered and proposed: "It will take some time for the reinforcements from Nanyang County, although the subordinate of Qiyuan Mountain has not set foot very much, he is also familiar with it."

"Instead of waiting, why don't I draw a map of Qiyuan Mountain for the two adults, so that it will be more convenient to find Shen Shizi, I don't know what the two adults think?"

Shen Mingnan stretched out his hand and touched his chin, and nodded very approvingly, "Okay, then what are you waiting for, without further ado, let's draw now." ”

So they came to a makeshift tent at the foot of the mountain.

There was a wooden table inside, covered with paper and pens, and after Han Zhi went in, he went around to the back of the desk, and began to draw a map of Qiyuan Mountain with a pen on his sleeve.

Shen Mingnan watched it with relish on the sidelines, and kept praising it.

Xu Yunchen: "......"

Hell, he didn't even know that this man was boasting like this.

Han Zhi listened to the praise of the deputy envoy, and the pen in his hand was shaking, and he almost drew crooked in several places.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was torture for Han Zhi, and when he finished painting, he found that the clothes behind him were soaked with sweat.

Shen Mingnan took the map and looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile on his lips: "It's still Lord Han who is thoughtful, if this crackdown on bandits is successful, it will be your first credit."

Han Zhiwei bowed his head and replied repeatedly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, you have to trouble the two adults to suppress the bandits."

When the time soon came, Xu Yunchen could sit still, and Shen Mingnan seemed a little impatient.

Han Zhi looked at the sky and proposed: "Presumably, it will take some time for Nanyang County to come over, so it is better for the two adults to return to the city for the time being, and then reorganize the officers and soldiers tomorrow, and take the mountain bandits by surprise."

Shen Mingnan stood up, nodded and said, "What Lord Han said is that it's still a little reckless to come here like this today, why don't we go back to the city first to discuss countermeasures?"

He looked at Xu Yunchen and asked, "What do you think?" Lord Xu. ”

Xu Yunchen flicked his robe and said indifferently: "Whatever you want."

"Let's go, then."

Shen Mingnan was the first to go out, followed by Xu Yunchen.

Han Zhi wiped his sweat in the rear, and soon followed, but when everyone arrived in the city, they happened to meet reinforcements from Nanyang County.

At the head was a middle-aged man in a scarlet goose-patterned official robe, with a thick official authority around him, and a beard on his chin, who got out of the carriage at the front.

When Han Zhi saw it, he hurriedly greeted him, "The lower official will see Lord County Guard." ”

The person who came was Yang Xuanrong, the guard of Nanyang County, but Han Zhi didn't expect that he would come over in person.

Yang Xuanrong nodded at Han Zhi, and walked towards Xu Yunchen, he clenched his fists with both hands, "Xuzhou Mu." ”

Xu Yunchen had a smile on his breezy and moon-like face, and returned the salute gently: "Yang Junshou."

Yang Xuanrong looked at Shen Mingnan on the side, a little puzzled, "This is ......"

"Under the surname Ming, he is the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Division, and the emperor has appointed him to protect the safety of Lord Xu."

Yang Xuanrong suddenly said, "Deputy Envoy Ming, look up for a long time." ”

After everyone got to know each other, Han Zhi was the boss again and wrapped up the Hanhai Building, so several people sat around the round table.

Yang Xuanrong poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a loud smile: "This time, I heard that Lord Xu came to Qiyuan Mountain to find Shen Shizi on the order of the emperor, and as soon as I heard that you were going to borrow troops, I personally brought five hundred officers and soldiers over."

Xu Yunchen smiled faintly, "This time, not only do you have to find the prince, but you also have to take care of the mountain bandits who have plagued Qiyuan County for many years." ”

When Yang Xuanrong heard this, he touched his beard and nodded worriedly: "Yes, the mountain bandits have been rampant for more than three years, and I have heard a lot of Qiyuan mountain bandits in Nanyang who are rampant and domineering and rob houses, which makes people panic in this area, and finally received the attention of the imperial court.

After Yang Xuanrong finished speaking, he sighed heavily, and his tone was full of pity.

He had heard that this Shen Shizi was as beautiful as Pan An, and he was rumored to be more beautiful than the first beauty in the capital.

However, Yang Xuanrong had never seen Shen Shizi, and he didn't know if he was really as good as rumored, and when he heard that he had an accident, he just felt a little regretful.

Shen Mingnan nodded straight on the side, and said leisurely: "In order to find Shen Shizi as soon as possible, let's make a plan for the time being, and it's not too late to find someone after the mountain bandits are exterminated."

Xu Yunchen: "......"

He didn't know why he had to accompany him in this scene, and they didn't seem to know each other.

Xu Yunchen lowered his eyes and drank tea, this matter had nothing to do with him, he chose not to speak.

Shen Mingnan took out a map, glanced at Han Zhi, and said with a smile: "This map was drawn by Lord Han in the afternoon, and we can't live up to Lord Han's intentions this time."

"Oh?" Yang Xuanrong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said loudly: "Then sure, this map is very important."

Han Zhi nodded on the side and said, "It is a blessing for the lower officials to be able to help all the adults."

Yang Xuanrong waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, how does Deputy Envoy Ming plan to attack the mountain?"

Shen Mingnan took a chopstick and pointed to three places, and finally pointed to the top position, "This is a bandit den, according to reports, there are more than 500 people, and in addition to the 500 elite soldiers you brought, there are more than 100 people in Qiyuan County, and it is not a problem to deal with the mountain bandits." ”

He moved his chopsticks to a hillside again, and continued: "Qiyuan Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they originally had the advantage of the location, and we will definitely not be able to take it by attacking, so we are divided into three teams, each team of 200 people to surround the mountain bandits from three directions."

Yang Xuanrong touched his beard and nodded in agreement, "Yes, but who are the leaders of these three teams?" ”

Shen Mingnan glanced at Han Zhi and said, "Lord Han, the east direction is led by Wu Xiancheng, what do you think?"

"There is no discussion among the lower officials, and it is all arranged by the deputy envoy."

The corners of Shen Mingnan's mouth curled slightly, and he continued: "Then the remaining two teams will be led by my attendants, and the time of this operation is set for tomorrow night, if there are no other objections, it will be decided, and Lord Yang and Lord Han will be responsible for answering at the bottom of the mountain, okay?"

"That's fine." Yang Xuanrong said, and then he looked at Xu Yunchen again, "What about you and Lord Xu?" ”

Shen Mingnan threw the chopsticks on the map, and leaned back on the chair lazily, "I have other arrangements with Lord Xu." ”

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Yang Xuanrong didn't want to ask again.

Han Zhi sat for a while before getting up, "While it's not too late now, the lower officials will go down and deploy now, and the county officials will also know that there will be a meeting, and the lower officials will retire first." ”

Yang Xuanrong nodded, "Go ahead, let me know in advance, don't drag the back of Deputy Envoy Ming at that time." ”

Han Zhi respectfully answered "yes" and left.
