As a result, the journey slowed down, and it was near evening that we arrived at a mountain forest. It was still a long way from the original inn. Mo Jinran couldn't help but feel panicked. Isn't this what the prefect called the bandit's dwelling?
The location? Wouldn’t it be very dangerous to spend the night here?
She looked around, and Gu Hong was holding a sheepskin map in his hand. He obviously understood this, so they decided to travel overnight.
It's not that Gu Hong is afraid, it's just for the safety of Princess Fuya.
"It is said that they are entrenched under that mountain." Under the faint moonlight, Xu Yi pointed the direction of the mountain to Mo Jinran and Gu Hong. Since the bandits attacked yesterday, he asked several colleagues and collected information.
We have collected a lot of information about these bandits. The civil servants who came this time and the officials who previously managed the files in this area were transferred to the Ministry of Rites not long ago, so they still have some understanding of these bandits.
These bandits are indeed destined to have their lives. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and often rob homes and homes within a radius of hundreds of miles. However, most of what they do is robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and they have a good reputation among the people around them.
But for some reason, this time it got mixed up with the princess's affair.
It was once rumored that the leader of the bandit was the son of a rich man from somewhere. Later, when the brothers fought for the family property, they started fighting to the death. When he got angry, he ran out and took over the mountain and became the king. He didn't care about the family property, he was just angry.
The original brothers turned against each other because of money.
After hearing what Xu Yi said, Mo Jinran felt that the bandit leader was like this person. Even though he was so arrogant and unruly, he was also a playboy. What made Mo Jinran most curious now was
What exactly is in the deserted garden in the inn, but it will take some time to find out the answer to such a mystery!
In the silent night, only the sound of horse hooves and wheels could be heard, which made the night seem much more abrupt. Princess Fuya had been raised in the palace since she was a child. She had never been treated like this. She was exhausted from driving all day.
Her son was even more tired and frightened, which made her nerves tense.
"Isn't this too quiet?" Princess Fuya looked at the four walls of the carriage with her big eyes. In the entire team, only her carriage had dim candles lit inside. The other guards and carriages were all walking in the dark.
The best thing is not to attract the attention of the bandits. The soldiers are not as familiar with this section of the road as the bandits, so of course it is better to be more careful.
But even so, when they reached a difficult road, they were still robbed by a group of people. They held torches, which they had just lit, and rushed out from the nearby forest. They had obviously been waiting for a long time.
"Who are you?" Gu Hong asked sharply. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the bandit leader from yesterday walking out of the crowd. He still had the same playful smile and arrogance!
"Alas! Your Majesty is such a noble man and forgets things so much. But we only met yesterday and have you forgotten me today?"
Gu Hong's eyes narrowed dangerously: "What do you want!"
"I just want to find a wife to support the village!" As he said that, the bandit leader turned his eyes to Mo Jinran. Then, under the dim torch, his eyes darkened when he looked at Mo Jinran.
"Dream, is the princess something someone like you can get your hands on?" Mo Jinran felt guilty as he looked at her, fearing that he would tell her that she was a woman.
"Haha, I don't want the princess today!" The bandit leader raised his eyebrows at Mo Jinran, the meaning was obvious.
Mo Jinran no longer gave him a chance to speak, and slashed at him with his sword. He couldn't stay, otherwise her secret would be exposed.
The two of them fought together, and the soldiers and bandits over there also fought together. Pulled by the bandit leader, the two of them fought farther and farther away. Gu Hong was very anxious and wanted to keep up.
But he was entangled by several people and couldn't get away. The important thing was that he couldn't get too far away from the carriage. There were Princess Fuya and civil servants on it who had no power to restrain the chicken. While he loved Mo Jinran, he couldn't give up his carelessness and carelessness.
Regardless, it was really a dilemma. He wished he could give birth to a clone, and his attacks became more and more ruthless!
The bandits seemed to do it on purpose and did not harm Gu Hong and his guards. They seemed to just play with them, making Gu Hong realize that their purpose today was Mo Jinran.
How could this happen? They don’t know Mo Jinran!
Over there, Mo Jinran chased the bandit leader to a quiet big tree, but the bandit leader stopped, and Mo Jinran's sword suddenly stopped at his heart.
"Why don't you hide?" Although this sword is coming fiercely, it is easy for the bandit leader to avoid it due to his strength!
"It doesn't matter whether you hide or not, I know you will definitely be reluctant to kill me!" Such frivolous words from the bandit leader made Mo Jinran angry. His eyes widened and the sword in his hand tightened, but what happened to his heart?
He couldn't get in. Mo Jinran couldn't help but was shocked: "You, have you ever practiced the Golden Bell?"
This word is not a martial arts term of this era, but a term used on television in the 21st century. Does this world also have such amazing martial arts?
The bandit leader shook his head, took two steps back, took out the goggles placed over his heart, shook it at Mo Jinran, and raised his lips in a teasing smile.
"Damn it!" Mo Jinran cursed. This man is so treacherous. But it would be a good idea to put a goggle on the heart. She will consider making one when she goes back.
Mo Jinran wanted to swing his sword to fight, but the bandit leader shouted to stop. "Wait, I was just joking with you, don't fight!"
"Are you kidding? You robbed us in the middle of the night just for fun?" Mo Jinran was a little confused about this bandit leader, who looked very enigmatic.
"Haha, no, I brought General Mo here just to have a few words with you!"
"If you want to threaten me with my daughter's life, then you are wrong. I will die with you!" Mo Jinran said through gritted teeth. If he couldn't beat him, he would drag him to hell with him.
"Oh, how could you think of me so meanly?" The bandit leader looked pitiful, looking cute and cute in the moonlight. At this moment, Mo Jinran felt that he didn't seem so annoying anymore. "
I just came to tell you something and do you a favor."
"Are you so kind?" Mo Jinran snorted.
"Oh, of course I am a kind-hearted person. If you were not Mr. Leng's woman, I would definitely take you back to be Mrs. Yazhai!" the bandit leader said half-truthfully, but Mo Jinran was startled.
.
"Do you know Lengqing?"
The bandit leader couldn't help but bow his hand to Mo Jinran: "This subordinate belongs to the eldest son!"
Only then did Mo Jinran believe that the person who could call Leng Qing the eldest son must be Leng Qing. She really couldn't imagine how unpredictable Leng Qing was, even for such an arrogant and unruly bandit leader.
Leng Qingzong, is there someone more powerful who is also under his control?
"Okay, I believe you, what exactly are you going to tell me, or what can you do to help me?"
"My subordinate wants to tell the general that the desolate courtyard of the inn is actually the entrance to a gold mine. This gold mine was discovered by a servant of the inn earlier. The prefect killed and silenced him in order to monopolize this gold mine. Because the inn
It was built there a long time ago, but there was no way to persuade the court to modify it, so the prefect has not started mining gold yet."
"What? It's a gold mine!" Mo Jinran was surprised. In this era, gold mines all belong to the state. If they are found, they must be reported to the court, and the court will send people to mine. But the prefect is a bully.
Your sin should be punished!
"Well, my subordinates have investigated it in many ways, and it is indeed a gold mine!" The bandit leader lost his playboy aura and said seriously, making Mo Jinran intuitively believe him.
"Okay, I understand. I will report it to the court when I get back! You just said that you have something else to help me with?"
"Actually, I'm not helping you. I just accidentally glanced at the princess. The princess's illness is not serious!"
"Can you tell? In fact, she just got horse-drawn carriage sickness!" Mo Jinran sighed. It's very rare to get so faint from horse-drawn carriage sickness. She should have gotten used to it these days.
"Haha, actually, the princess was poisoned!" The bandit leader said another fact that shocked Mo Jinran. Princess Fuya was taken care of by them all the way from the palace, so how could she be poisoned?"
"you sure?"
"I'm sure that in the early years, my mother also used this kind of poison. It is a poison that makes people feel dizzy all day long. It is chronic. It is put into the victim's food little by little every time, and no one will notice. And then
Even a silver needle can't detect it at all. But over time, it accumulates in the internal organs. At first, I feel dizzy and can't eat anything, but later I lose weight little by little and die!"
"It's so serious? Is there an antidote?" Mo Jinran couldn't figure out who would harm Princess Fuya, which made her confused. Princess Fuya kept a low profile in the palace and should not be provoked.
Who is so angry?
"In fact, detoxification is not difficult. Just eat mung beans every day and slowly eliminate the toxins!" The bandit leader said this, and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy. He didn't even know about such a simple detoxification method at the time. He saw it with his own eyes.
Leaving with his mother.
"Thank you!" Mo Jinran believed him because of his sincere eyes and because he was Leng Qing Bu Xia. She believed in Leng Qing, so she also believed in this bandit leader.
"It's getting late, General. You'd better go back quickly and don't make others suspicious!" the bandit leader said, regaining his playboy look.
Mo Jinran waved his hand at him and walked back. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard the bandit leader saying to Mo Jinran: "My name is Ji Mingyu!"
Ji Mingyu, Mo Jinran silently recorded this name in her heart. She will never forget anyone who has helped her.
Back to the carriage, the bandits pretended to be depressed and escaped just like last time. Most soldiers couldn't see it, but Xu Yi and Gu Hong could see clearly. They looked at each other and Mo Jinran, and they were going to have a serious discussion again.
