The bandits threw the stripped goat on the raft, splashing Miaoling's monk's robes.

Miao Ling screamed in surprise and struggled desperately a few times.

Xie Ying walked over and stuck a torch in the middle of the raft.

"Miaoling, don't blame my sister for being ruthless, you really know too much, and today coincides with the day of our sacrifice on the mountain, there is only one woman in the whole cottage, if you don't come back, my sister will also be sacrificed to Shentan. Not handing you over to my brother to be the wife of the village overnight is already the greatest favor to you. Xie Ying squatted at the water's edge and said.

Miao Ling just sobbed quietly.

Xie Ying stood up and waved his hand behind him.

Another bandit with a bamboo pole in his hand came over, untied the rope tied to the shore, and with a flick of the bamboo pole, the raft took Miao Ling and the sleek goat, and spun and floated towards the center of the pool.

Miao Ling didn't know how deep this pool was, but one thing she knew was that the water was cold and piercing.

As the raft moved, the water slowly overflowed the planks and soaked the monk's robes.

This sacrifice has been going on for several years.

Every year, there will be a girl from the mountain as a sacrifice, Miao Ling has witnessed it with her own eyes, but she never dreamed that when she helped the mountain gun to bring a rare treasure in the world, she also became a sacrifice.

Pretty Rakshasa Xie Ying didn't give her a chance to speak.

As for why this is done, it is said that it is because there is a water god living in this waterhole, who can bless the safety of the cottage. A stranger once stayed here for a few days and came to the conclusion that a young and beautiful woman must be sent to the god of water every year.

The waterhole is not big, and it only takes half a stick of incense to get from one side to the other, but no one knows what exactly is on the other side.

The shore was covered with dense layers of reeds and unnamed dwarf trees, and even though it was daytime, it was still pitch black.

The torches were reflected in the water, like the giant eyes of a monster.

Miao Ling didn't dare to struggle hard, for fear that it would speed up the sinking of the raft.

Seeing that the raft was about to approach the reeds, there was a sudden "bang" sound from the reeds, and a black shadow slowly poked its head out of it.

Before Miao Ling could see what it was, she was already frightened.

The black shadow waded through the water and pushed the raft against the shore. Then, squatting next to him, he carefully studied Miaoling for a while.

This person is Lu Bu.

He had planned to go directly to the cottage to ask for the boxes, but he changed his plans at the moment.

It is impossible for these mountain bandits to easily admit that they stole the box, if they break in, they will not be besieged, Lu Bu naturally doesn't care about these guys besieging them, but that is likely to backfire.

At the beginning, when he was guarding Xuzhou, Chen Gong always said that he was "stubborn and self-serving, not good at using his brain", and after coming here, he must not make the same mistake again.

After dodging many mountain bandits patrolling the mountain, Lu Bu came to the back mountain.

He saw everything that happened on the other side.

This seemingly familiar little nun was pushed into the deep pool, which was her own opportunity.

Untying the ropes from Miaoling's body, Lu Bu carried her to the shore.

Not long after, Miao Ling woke up.

When she opened her eyes and saw Lu Bu at a glance, Miao Ling was so frightened that she was paralyzed, thinking that she was dead.

"Little master Hugh called, Ben Hou is not a wicked person." Lu Bu said.

"Good, a good man spared Xiao Ni's life." Miao Ling's lips trembled.

"Ben Hou only wants to know the whereabouts of those belongings, and he must not hide them."

"Xiao Ni is also coerced, he has no choice, he is definitely not his kind, and I hope that the good man will hurt me."

Lu Bu's thick eyebrows raised.

"Hugh is long-winded, let's talk quickly."

Miao Ling calmed down for a long time, and saw that Lu Bu didn't seem to want to kill herself, so she wiped her tears and said, "The heroes don't know, this purple gold pot is a treasure sent to the capital by the Western Xia Kingdom to present to the current emperor, and when passing through this mountain, it was snatched by Xie Tianshun and others. Later, the prefect of Chuzhou sent troops to fight several times, but they were unsuccessful. It's just that later, a thief came out of the mountain, stole this treasure, and handed it over to the uncle of the dynasty. ”

"Do you also know that there is a purple gold pot in this property?" Lu Bu was surprised.

Miao Ling nodded.

"Only Xiao Ni and Xie Tianshun know about this matter."

"Okay, go on."

"The person who stole the purple gold pot was later killed by Uncle Guo, and Uncle Guo did not hand over the pot to the emperor, but still said that he was robbed by mountain bandits." Miao Ling continued, "Seven days ago, Xie Tianshun got the news that Uncle Guo was going to transfer this pot to Chuzhou Mansion, so he secretly sent people to monitor it, and arranged for Xiao Ni to wait in the nunnery, waiting for the heroes to arrive, use sweat medicine to numb you, and steal the treasure pot. ”

Lu Bu was shocked.

It turned out that the so-called property he escorted was actually a national treasure stolen by Fei Yong, no wonder these people knew so much about their own itinerary, but they originally wanted to get back what belonged to them.

"If you dare to deceive Benhou, you will never be spared." Lu Bu suddenly roared and drew his halberd.

Miao Ling was so frightened that her face was pale.

"The good man knows that Xiao Ni is already a dying person, if it weren't for the good man to rescue, Xiao Ni would have sunk to the bottom of the pool at this time, how can he deceive the good man? If Xie Ying hadn't threatened her sister's life, Little Niwan would not have done such a thing that violated her conscience and precepts. ”

Lu Bu looked at Miao Ling's face again, and it did overlap with the face of another woman. Just as he was about to ask, suddenly, there was a sound from the reeds behind him.

"Tang Zhuangshi is really wise and brave, and he actually grabbed ahead of this official." A voice rang out.

Lu Bu looked back.

"Lord Bao?"

The person who came was indeed Bao Zheng.

Behind him, there was also a personal officer, but the two of them seemed to have known all this for a long time, and the smiles on their faces were friendly.

"This official knew that Tang Zhuangshi led people to escort the national treasure out of the city, deliberately let you and others leave, and followed you all the way here." Bao Zheng did not hide it, and said, "Long live the matter of recovering the national treasure to this official, who did not dare to slack off for a day, and has found out that this pot fell into the hands of Lord Fei, but because of the identity of the uncle of this country, he did not dare to move lightly." ”

Lu Bu sneered.

"Master Bao is really wise, I'm afraid you already thought that there would be such a day when Ben Hou was imprisoned by you, right?"

"The official already had some suspicions at the time, the death of He Zhutou was all because this person knew the secret of the Zijin pot, Tang Zhuangshi escorted this pot here, if there is nothing to do all the way, returning to the capital will be the day you cut off your head, what is the difference with the little master Miaoling?"

"Don't talk nonsense here, Lord Fei and the villain are gracious, how can you and other despicable people be separated?" Lu Bu said angrily.

Master Bao laughed.

"Tang Zhuangshi doesn't believe it, and this official can't either, and he will have his own public opinion in the future. It's just that this theft of the national treasure will be difficult for Lord Fei to escape from it. At that time, Tang Zhuangshi and others will become accomplices, and they may not escape death. ”

"Fang Cai's words, Master Bao wants to hear it too?" Lu Bu asked.

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "It's just that this purple gold pot hasn't arrived yet, and it is extremely difficult to convince the public based on the words of Master Miaoling's family." And this mountain bandit is vicious and harmful, and if the official wants to return the pure land here, he still needs the help of Tang Zhuangshi. ”
