In the woods outside the village of Shangli.

Previously, the two inner disciples who were assigned by Chen Hongru to test the strength of Jian Zun followed Chen Muyun's team all the way and also came to Shangli Village.

At this time, he was lurking in the woods not far from Chen Muyun.

Seeing that everyone rushed into Shangli Village, there were only Chen Muyun and Chen Boqing on the hillside.

Now is the time to get your hands dirty.

The two looked at each other and were about to draw their knives.

Click!

Suddenly, the sound of a tree branch breaking appeared.

The two of them were startled for a moment, and then looked in the direction of the sound.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a person standing not far from the two of them.

"Who!"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of the sword coming out of its sheath.

Before the two of them could react, they were killed with one blow!

……

Meanwhile.

The abnormal movement in the woods attracted Chen Muyun's attention.

He looked back warily in the direction of the woods.

In a trance, it was as if I saw a figure, and it flashed by.

"How...... What's wrong? ”

Chen Boqing was a little frightened by Chen Muyun's unusual behavior, and also followed his gaze to the woods.

"Did you just hear anything?"

"Huh? Not...... I didn't hear it, this big night, son, don't be scared of your father! ”

Chen Boqing unconsciously grabbed the corner of Chen Muyun's clothes with his hand.

Chen Muyun turned over and dismounted, "Don't move here, I'll take a look." ”

"Ah, I...... Myself? ”

Chen Muyun took the torch and quietly came to the woods.

But he didn't go far before he smelled a smell of blood in the air, and he was instantly vigilant.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt something under his feet, raised his torch and shone it, and saw the corpses of the two inner disciples.

"Ahh

At this time, a sudden shout startled Chen Muyun, and the torch in his hand was almost not steady.

At some point, Chen Boqing suddenly appeared beside him.

"It's not that I won't let you come with me!"

Chen Boqing's face was aggrieved, "I...... I don't dare alone, this wilderness! ”

"Eh, isn't this a disciple of our Chen family. How to ......"

Chen Muyun suddenly made a silent gesture, and then covered the bodies of the two inner disciples with fallen leaves.

"Don't say it, just act like nothing happened, you know?"

At this time, Chen Boqing's head was like a rattle, and he wished that these things would be far away from him.

……

After the interlude, Chen Muyun and the two came to the village.

At this moment, Xu Changgeng had already controlled the situation, and all the bandits were tied up and gathered in the open space of the village.

"How's the casualty?"

Chen Muyun asked.

"The outer disciples were injured by four people, one of them was seriously injured, and the villagers were injured more, about 150 people, and six people died."

One thousand against sixty, one's own side lost nearly one-tenth of the people, although the price seemed a little great.

However, most of these people are ordinary villagers with no training, which is acceptable.

"Treat the injured, if you are dead, if there is a family to comfort them, and then send some money."

"Understood."

"How's the harvest?"

Hearing this, Xu Changgeng suddenly smiled confidently, "City Lord, please take a look." ”

Subsequently, under the leadership of Xu Changgeng, Chen Muyun came to a warehouse, where several outer disciples held torches to illuminate the warehouse.

In front of Chen Muyun was a mountain of grain, piled up throughout the warehouse.

"This ...... It's all food? ”

Happiness came too suddenly, and Chen Muyun couldn't believe it for a while.

Although before he came, he knew that Shangli Village was a stronghold of bandits, but Chen Muyun only hoped that it would be good not to rush into the air at first, but he thought that this harvest was too rich.

"Lord Castle, that's not all!"

"Huh?"

Xu Changgeng took Chen Muyun to look at several other rooms.

Grain, bacon, and scrap iron from several large warehouses, and more than a dozen horses are stored in the village stables.

It can be said that Chen Muyun has made a lot of money this time, looking at this situation, Shangli Village should not be just an ordinary stronghold, but more like a supply depot for this bandit group.

"Lord Castle, there's one more thing." Xu Changgeng picked up a bag of grain on the ground, "Look at this." ”

The words "Wanji Grain Shop" are written on it.

Before, after seeing the scrap iron in those large warehouses, Chen Muyun became more and more suspicious that his previous guess was right.

These bandits should be in league with the merchants of the city.

Because the timing and behavior of this group of bandits are too strange, and since they like to attack merchants so much, why did they leave the four in Liuli City alone.

When the rice bag of the Wanji grain shop appeared, Chen Muyun could confirm it even more.

"Take them all, and don't leave them at all."

"Yes!"

As soon as Xu Changgeng waved his hand, the people waiting outside poured into the warehouse.

Thanks to the large number of people who came this time, otherwise Chen Muyun would not be able to take away the grain and iron materials in these large warehouses even if he had three heads and six arms.

"Come on, someone, there's a situation here!"

An outer disciple stood in front of a house in the village and shouted to the crowd.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Muyun asked.

The disciple raised his hand and motioned for Chen Muyun to look inside the house.

In the middle of the house, there was a cellar, the lid of which had been opened.

Chen Muyun walked closer and shone the torch downward, startled.

The cellar was full of boxy cages filled with women and children.

At this moment, these people were looking at Chen Muyun with a frightened look.

"Call some people and get them out."

Subsequently, more than 40 women and more than 10 children were rescued from the cellar.

Looking at these yellow-skinned and frightened girls, Chen Muyun couldn't help frowning.

"Don't be afraid, you are ......"

"Bud? Is it a bud? ”

Just when Chen Muyun was about to ask about the origin of these girls.

An old man among the villagers suddenly trembled and walked towards a girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Looking at the old man, the girl was a little wooden at first, but when she saw the old man's face clearly, she cried out.

"Daddy!"

Then the father and daughter hugged each other.

"Dad thought he would never see you again in this life!"

After a while, the old man suddenly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Bud, ...... Come and see the city lord, this time thanks to the city lord, otherwise my father would never have seen you in his life. ”

As he spoke, the father and daughter knelt down in front of Chen Muyun, "The city lord is gracious, my father and daughter have nothing to repay, if the city lord does not give up, I am willing to follow the lord forever!" ”

"Hurry up, hurry up."

Chen Muyun hurriedly helped the two up.

Then, several pairs of relatives recognized each other in the crowd one after another.

These villagers are from nearby villages, and they have been bullied by bandits before, and their families have been ruined.

Now, when I see someone seeing my relatives again, I also begin to miss my separated family members.

"Lord of the Castle!"

Suddenly, a villager knelt down in front of Chen Muyun, "My lord, my home is Xiali Village, which is not far from here, please take someone to save our family." ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Adults save our families......"

There were constantly villagers kneeling in front of Chen Muyun, crying and begging Chen Muyun to go and poison the bandits in other villages.

In such a scene, even if Chen Muyun was ruthless, he couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Don't worry, I, Chen Muyun, promise you today that I will clear out all the bandits around Liuli City and give you an explanation!"
