Ma Shuo's return made everyone in the cottage feel a lot more at ease.

The appearance of Wan'er has given the cottage a different scenery. Wan'er, who has restored women's clothes, is fresh and beautiful, and has a natural noble atmosphere on her body, which makes people know at a glance that this girl is definitely not an ordinary person.

When she found out that Wan'er was actually a woman, Qi Jing couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart, but Qi Jing didn't show the uneasiness in her heart, because she knew that her identity was actually very embarrassing.

Although, nominally, she is Ma Shuo's wife. However, for such a long time, nothing has happened between Ma Shuo and Qi Jing that should happen between husband and wife. For this reason, Ma's mother was also a little dissatisfied, because Ma's mother had long wanted to hold her grandson. Of course, Ma Mu also knew that Qi Jing couldn't be blamed for this, because Ma Shuo had not been in the cottage these days.

This time, Ma Shuo suddenly brought back such a beautiful woman, and the happiest person was Ma Mu.

It's just that no matter how much Ma Mu asked, she couldn't get any useful information from Wan'er's mouth. In the entire cottage, Wan'er is only close to Ma Shuo, so that as long as Ma Shuo is there, this girl will follow there, and she has become Ma Shuo's tail.

Slowly, everyone got used to it.

It took two days for Ma Shuo to understand all aspects of the cottage. During this period, Ma Shuo was still very satisfied with the development of the cottage, for which Ma Shuo praised a group of people, and directly sent a sum of silver to these people as a reward, and the material and spiritual rewards were not pulled down.

Ma Shuo planned to stay in the cottage for a short time, a week at most, to make a short stop, so that the people of the militia group and the thousand-person team could take a little rest and adjust their state.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

On the fourth day of Ma Shuo's return to Panlong Village, as soon as the sky was bright, the hidden guard sent a message related to the cottage. There are actually two mountain bandits targeting Panlong Village, and they have joined forces, preparing to attack Panlong Village in the next few days.

There are still mountain bandits who dare to join in the fun at this time, which also makes Ma Shuo feel a little surprised. However, after reading the information collected by the hidden guards, Ma Shuo finally understood the reason.

Unexpectedly, behind these two mountain bandits were actually barbarians. These two mountain bandits were actually nails planted by the barbarians in the western frontier of the Great Qin Kingdom, and the reason why they would dispatch this time was mainly because during this time, because of the cleaning up by the militia and other organizations, the barbarian squads that infiltrated them suffered heavy losses, which affected the barbarians' interference plans. The barbarians sent dozens of squads to infiltrate in order to prepare for a large-scale attack on the side of the barbarian pass.

Now, because of the loss of a large number of squads, the plan has been affected. In this case, the barbarian high-level decided to activate the nails planted in the western frontier and completely muddy the waters of the western frontier, so that they could take advantage of the troubled waters to fish.

The two mountain bandits took Panlong Village as their target, one is to explore that there are a lot of resources on Panlong Village, especially food; Second, I found out that although there are a lot of people in Panlong Village, the vast majority of them are still old, weak, women and children, and there are only more than 1,000 people with combat effectiveness.

In addition, the selection of Panlongzhai as the target is also more likely to cause great confusion. Because if it is an ordinary small cottage, it will be meaningless to destroy it directly. What you want is the kind of existence that is evenly matched, able to fight, and then involve more mountain bandit forces in the vortex.

For this reason, these two mountain bandits with barbarian nails dispatched a total of nearly 1,500 people, and slaughtered towards the Panlong Ridge in a mighty manner, and there was no politeness wherever they passed, and all the villages that stood in their way were plundered and destroyed.

Even, there was an unlucky militia that happened to bump into them, and the two sides fought a big battle, and the militia suffered heavy losses and almost collapsed.

When the hidden guard sent back the news, the combined team of the two mountain bandits had already arrived at a place about thirty miles away from Panlong Ridge, which was already very close. It's just that those guys didn't notice that Ma Shuo and the others had returned to the cottage.

More than thirty miles away from Panlongling, two teams of mountain bandits were walking unhurriedly in a long serpentine line, and at the front of the team were two big men on horseback, one with a black face and the other with a white face. The black-faced one is called Blackbeard, and he has a big beard, like a fierce fly. The white-faced and gloomy guy is called the Yin Demon, and he is a sinister fellow, not only insidious but also ruthless.

Behind the two guys are barbarians, they have been bought by barbarians for many years, with the secret support of barbarians, each has pulled up a team of mountain bandits, and one is secretly helping barbarians collect intelligence and obtain relevant materials in the border area of Western Xinjiang. Of course, they will also get support from the barbarians, such as horses. The number of horsemen in these two teams was significantly greater than that of the other mountain bandits, and the two teams combined had nearly 500 cavalry.

This time, they carried out the barbarians' plan to fish in troubled waters, and after some weighing, they chose Panlong Ridge as the target. Because they found that the cottage on Panlong Ridge is a newly established cottage, the scale is not small, and there are many people, but the proportion of old and weak women and children is very large. If the strength of the two of them joins forces, it is completely possible to inflict heavy damage on the other party, and it is easy to force the other party to invite other mountain bandits to help at that time, and their side will also pull other mountain bandits to act together at that time, and this chaotic vortex will become bigger and bigger.

"Boss Yin, are you sure there is no problem with our direction?" Blackbeard rode on his horse, and after taking a sip of wine, he said to the Yin Demon with a snort.

"Blackbeard, the people sent by Yin can't be wrong. It's you, let's drink less, I'm afraid that when it's time for you to make a move, your hands will tremble! The demon glanced at Blackbeard and said with some disdain. For Blackbeard, the Yin Demon doesn't look down on it at all, in the eyes of the Yin Demon, this guy is an idiot, a guy who is full of dung, who only knows how to slash and kill when he encounters things, and usually knows how to drink.

"Hahaha, Yin Boss, don't underestimate a certain family. See, the knife in the hand of a certain family will never be cowardly! Hearing that the Yin Demon was actually afraid that his hands were shaking, Blackbeard raised the ghost head knife in his hand and laughed, and the wine he had just drunk in his mouth also spurted out a lot, causing the Yin Demon to only frown.

"Haha, I heard that there are a lot of women on that Panlong Ridge. Little guys, wait a minute, take down Panlongling, Hei Ye allows you to grab a girl by yourself and be happy! Hahaha! Blackbeard shouted unscrupulously at the bandits under him.

"The Black Master is mighty-"

Blackbeard's words immediately won a burst of cheers, and for a while, the entire mountain bandit team boiled, and Blackbeard's promise suddenly stimulated the wildness in the bones of these guys, and the ugliness of them was revealed one by one.

"How? Yin Boss, this trick is good! Look at these children, one by one, they are like fighting cocks, and they are afraid that they will not be able to take Panlongling! Blackbeard was very satisfied with his move to mobilize the morale of the mountain bandits, and couldn't help but be complacent.
