In the end, Bai Yunge could not defeat the stubborn Qin Zijin, so early the next morning he took Qin Zijin to join Magistrate Li and went to the hilltop where the horse thieves were in person.

Qin Zijin sat on the carriage and wandered for more than two hours. He arrived at the foot of a rolling mountain at noon.

It's been a long time since I've been to such a tossing. Even though I was sitting in the luxurious and comfortable carriage specially decorated by Bai Yunge, I still felt uncomfortable being bumped up by the bumpy mountain road.

Bai Yunge looked distressed and helpless, "I told you to stay home. There will be a mountain road to walk in a while, why don't you go?"

Qin Zijin gritted his teeth and shook his head, "We've already come here, let's go and have a look."

Later, the mountain road became inaccessible to horse-drawn carriages, so it was replaced by horseback riding.

Qin Zijin can ride a horse. After all, as an actor, there will always be some people who can't change their skills, but they are not the Qin Zijin they are today. Although he was a little eager to try, he finally chose to ride with Bai Yunge.

Worried that Qin Zijin was scared, Bai Yunge didn't even dare to walk faster. In the end, Qin Zijin saw that they were lagging behind and were about to break away from the main force, so he couldn't help but said, "Can you ride a horse? Hurry up, you can't even catch up.

Already."

Bai Yunge had to speed up and found that the person in front of him was not only not afraid, but also seemed a little excited.

But as time passed, Qin Zijin's excitement was gradually wiped out, and he felt that his whole body was even more uncomfortable. With the cold wind blowing on his face, Qin Zijin wished he could shrink into Bai Yunge's arms.

After marching for more than half an hour, we finally arrived.

The place to stay was in a relatively flat valley among several mountains. There were quite a few people stationed in the valley, and they even set up tents, obviously looking to fight to the death with the bandits on the top of the mountain.

They went to the valley camp, ate something simple to fill their stomachs, and rested for a while before continuing.

Qin Zijin first observed the high mountain where the horse thief was, and had to sigh that it was a dangerous place.

After that, I planned to follow County Magistrate Bai Yunge and visit the surrounding area of ​​the mountain.

Because they had sent people to dig around the mountain before, they had opened up roads everywhere in the originally overgrown mountain forest, allowing horses to travel through it.

Qin Zijin sat in front of Bai Yunge, looking at it and asking, "Have you checked the overgrown cliff below? Have you found any cliff caves or anything like that?"

The guard on the side shook his head, "We have also carefully explored the places where there are caves, and there is no secret passage leading to the top of the mountain."

After arriving at a water source, Qin Zijin looked at the clear and shallow river thoughtfully, and then said, "Let's go to the source of this water source."

The guards were obviously very familiar with these places. They were familiar with the roads and took them to the source of the river. On the edge of a cliff, a long waterfall flew down and formed a medium-sized waterfall at the foot of the cliff.

Lakes and small lakes overflowed and the water flowed out, converging into the small river Qin Zijin and the others just saw.

Qin Zijin stared at the waterfall for a while, then pointed to the bottom of the waterfall and said, "Have you looked inside there?"

The guard responded, "We have investigated and found that there is a cliff behind the waterfall."

Qin Zijin hugged Bai Yunge's arm, who was holding the reins, and said, "Get closer to the waterfall and take a look."

Bai Yunge pulled the reins and led Qin Zijin to the edge of the waterfall.

It can be seen from the outside that there is indeed a cliff inside the waterfall, but the sound of water produced by the falling waterfall seems a bit empty, which makes Qin Zijin unable to help but feel a little confused.

Qin Zijin simply asked Bai Yunge to put him down from the horse, and stood at the edge of the waterfall, squatting down and looking inside.

Bai Yunge stood behind Qin Zijin worriedly and said, "Be careful not to fall."

After observing for a long time, Qin Zijin wiped the water droplets splashed by the waterfall on his face, stood up, moved further away from the waterfall, and said, "Check again along the cliff by the water. There should be a cave."

The guard glanced at Bai Yunge, saw Bai Yunge nodded slightly, and led him to the cliff below the waterfall.

Qin Zijin looked at it for a while and then said, "If this doesn't work, let them get a boat in and see if there are any caves by the water."

Bai Yunge took Qin Zijin's hand. The coldness made him frown and said, "Leave it to them. Let's go back first."

Qin Zijin said, "I haven't finished reading yet. Let's go and see other places."

Bai Yunge sighed, and finally led Qin Zijin around the entire mountain.

A group of people returned to the garrison. They found nothing. Everyone was a little disappointed. It was not early, so they packed up and prepared to go back.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yunge's guard came to report in excitement at this time and forgot to salute. As soon as he saw the person, he said excitedly, "Madam is so amazing. There is really a cave there, close to the water. If Madam hadn't asked us to build a boat,

We went in and took a look, but we couldn't find anything at all. After we entered, we also found several small boats. There were also food stored in the cave. There is no doubt that there is a secret passage inside. Young Master, Mr. Li, we will send people to attack from the secret passage now.

Catch them by surprise."

Everyone was happy when they heard this. Magistrate Li was about to give an order, but was interrupted by Bai Yunge, "You can't act rashly. The horse thieves at this time must be very vigilant, and they must be on guard against that secret passage, and maybe they will do it again."

It is a dangerous place, and if we send people there rashly, we are afraid that we will never return and the gain will outweigh the loss."

County Magistrate Li frowned when he heard this, "We finally found the secret passage, but we don't dare to attack. Isn't it in vain?"

Qin Zijin responded with a smile, "How can it be in vain? Let's not scare the snake first, haven't we been drugged several times? It's indecent to come and go, so let's add some spice to them."

Seeing Qin Zijin's confident look, County Magistrate Li said with interest, "What do you think Mrs. Bai said?"

Qin Zijin continued, "Don't act rashly first. Don't let them find out that we already know their secret channel. Then add some spices to their food. When they eat the food with the spices, even if they want to be on guard at that time,

, I’m afraid we are already powerless, if we send people up to attack them by surprise, there will be unexpected results.”

County Magistrate Li clapped his hands excitedly, "What a great idea. Let's do it. I'll make arrangements right away."

After saying that, he planned to go out to make arrangements for the camp. Halfway through, he turned to look at the young couple and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. I can leave the rest to you. I won't go back today. You guys go back first."

Come on, be careful along the way."

Bai Yunge cupped his fists and replied, "Then thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li."

County Magistrate Li waved his hand, "It is my responsibility to clear out bandits and horse thieves all over the county, but you two have been a big help. I would like to thank you both."

Bai Yunge responded meaningfully, "We are all members of our own family and should help each other. Mr. Li does not need to be so polite."

County Magistrate Li was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Brother Bai is right, but I am out of touch."
