Situ Jing's voice immediately aroused Yu Tie's idea, and he couldn't help but look back at the two of them, with curiosity on his face.
Cheng Jiu said disapprovingly: "Hey, now you know you are shy? Why didn't you know when you complained to my elder brother earlier?"
"Complain? What did I accuse you of? What on earth are you talking about?" Situ Jing was furious.
As soon as Cheng Jiu saw Situ Jing's excited look, he understood that he probably misunderstood her and she did not complain to her elder brother.
That’s right. How could a government official’s lady be spanked by a man in the street and publicize it? Isn’t that a mental illness?
Cheng Jiu quickly shook his head and backed away, saying calmly: "Yes, yes, I was just talking nonsense, I, I, I...I'm leaving first..."
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Jiu turned around and ran away without a trace.
Situ Jing was at a loss after being left behind. There was Yu Tie behind him. I don't know if he heard what Cheng Jiu said just now.
After standing stiffly for a while, Situ Jing finally summoned the courage to turn around and look at Yu Tie.
At this time, Yu Tie was looking after the fire as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened.
Situ Jing pinched the fingers of her right hand with her left hand, walked slowly to Yu Tie's side, and said, "Brother Yu, just now..."
"Huh? Uh-huh..."
As soon as Situ Jing asked, Yu Tie shook his head vigorously. He didn't know whether it meant that he didn't know or that he didn't hear. In short, he kept shaking his head.
--------------------------
At the same time, Chai Yan, Yuan and Wang Wangzhou were riding towards Ganquan County.
Chai Yan and Yuan dressed up as husband and wife as usual, and Wang Wangzhou transformed into Chai Yan's brother. The three of them dressed very low-key, even replacing the official boots on their feet.
Not long ago, the three of them just rode through Buffalo Town.
After driving continuously for more than an hour, Wang Wangzhou's horse began to show signs of weakness and gradually could not keep up with the speed of Chai Yan and Yuan.
This is not surprising, after all, Wang Wangzhou's horse is a public horse from the Yaozhou Police Station, and is incomparable with the royal horses ridden by Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan.
Chai Yan turned around and saw that Wang Wangzhou had been left behind for a long time, so he said to Yuan who was walking side by side: "Madam, let's wait for Secretary Wang."
Hearing the sound, Yuan Yuan slowed down and waited with Chai Yan for Wang Wangzhou to catch up.
After a while, Wang Wangzhou finally caught up.
"Secretary Chai, Mrs. Chai, let's find a place to rest for a while. My horse rarely runs long distances, so I'm afraid it may be too much!"
When he said this, Wang Wangzhou looked somewhat embarrassed.
Chai Yan saw a meandering stream of water in front of him, so he pointed there and said, "Okay, let's go there to have a rest and let the horses drink some water."
Soon, the three of them dismounted next to the water and led the horses to the water's edge together.
Sure enough, Wang Wangzhou's horse was tired from running and thirsty. He lowered his head and started drinking water.
But Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan's horses were much better, drinking water at a leisurely pace.
Wang Wangzhou looked ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, Secretary Chai, this horse is taking up your time..."
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "It's okay, it won't take more than a day and a half..."
With that said, Chai Yan and Yuan went upstream to wash their faces and feel refreshed.
"Madam, the scenery in this area is not bad." Chai Yan put his hands on his hips and looked up at the exquisite surroundings of the water.
"Yes." Yuanyuan nodded, and he and Chai Yan enjoyed the scenery in front of them.
Wang Wangzhou also washed himself by the water, then came to Chai Yan and said, "Sir Chai, just a little further past is Goutou Mountain. We have to be careful when approaching that area!"
"Nutou Mountain? Where is it?" Chai Yan looked at Wang Wangzhou curiously.
Wang Wangzhou said seriously: "Nutou Mountain looks like a big dog's head from a distance. The place is densely wooded and the terrain is complex. The world has not been peaceful recently. It is said that there is a bandit that often appears there and attacks and robs passing caravans."
Chai Yan laughed when he heard this, looked at Yuan Yuan and said, "They are rogues, right? If they dare to rob us, they will be in trouble for the rest of their lives! Hehe..."
Yuan Yuan smiled lightly and did not answer Chai Yan's words.
Wang Wangzhou knew that both Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan were very powerful in martial arts, but the bandits were outnumbered, so he reminded him, "Chai Yan, please don't take it lightly!"
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Chai Yan immediately agreed.
After a short rest, the three of them got on their horses and left the waterside, continuing to ride along the road towards Ganquan County.
In the woods of Koutou Mountain, a small man in tattered clothes and a dirty face was running quickly.
"Boss, someone is coming! Someone is coming from the front..." the little man kept shouting.
Soon, the small man stopped under a mound, breathing heavily.
A tall man in his thirties soon appeared on the top of the mound. This man was the "boss" that the man had just called.
The tall man's surname was Hu, and his family was born in the seventh generation, so people around him called him Hu Laoqi.
Hu Laoqi is the leader of the bandits who are active in the Kotoushan area. He currently has twenty-eight people who specialize in plundering nearby villages and passersby passing through Kotoushan.
"Made, it's been a whole day and night, and finally I saw a human figure..." Hu Laoqi stood on the mound and cursed.
Then, Hu Laoqi asked the little man: "Monkey, how many people are here?"
"Boss, there are only three riders, two men and one woman." The monkey replied immediately.
Hu Laoqi was a little surprised, and his tone immediately became louder: "Hey! All three of them are riding horses, they are fat sheep!"
The monkey smiled and nodded: "Isn't that right, boss? As soon as I heard what the brothers in front said, I will inform you right away..."
Hu Laoqi nodded with satisfaction and asked the monkey: "Are the brothers ready for the ambush?"
"Don't worry, boss, I've laid an ambush a long time ago, just waiting for the fat sheep to fall into the trap!" said the monkey.
At this time, Hu Laoqi suddenly turned around and disappeared on the mound.
After a while, Hu Laoqi came out from the side of the mound. At this time, he had a long-handled ax in his hand, and said aggressively: "Let's go and have a look!"
The monkey immediately ran to the front to lead Hu Laoqi, and the two of them went down the mountain while talking and laughing.
On the road leading to Koutou Mountain, Chai Yan and the other three were riding horses...
"Don't say that, Mrs. Han! This mountain really looks like a big dog's head. Look, it even has a tongue. It's really interesting..."
Chai Yan looked at Noutou Mountain with great interest. He had not noticed it until he got closer and looked at it from a certain angle. Noutou Mountain seemed to live up to its name.
Yuan Yuan looked up, then nodded and said, "It's indeed very interesting!"
Wang Wangzhou had no intention of discussing the shape of Kotoushan, because some frightened birds appeared in the forest in the distance, and his intuition told him that there was most likely an ambush in the forest ahead!
