Yan Bao finally managed to coax the man away and even gave him a meat bun as compensation.

The young lady seemed to really care about her. She looked back every few steps and was reluctant to leave.

Yan Bao could only sigh that he was indeed too cute and even the young lady couldn't refuse him.

Yan Bao then strolled around the paradise with nothing to do. As a child, she had no ill intentions, and the busy pirates didn't think much of it. They came and went in a hurry, and the population of the village increased.

There is not much vacant land and everyone is looking for a place to settle down.

Yan Bao heard some water bandits cursing and saying that it was all the Shen family's fault. If they hadn't filed a complaint, how could they have attracted the imperial court to suppress the bandits?

After those people leave, they will make the Shen family pay the price.

Yan Bao just sneered when he heard it. Let the Shen family pay the price?

That has to be your fate.

. . . . . . .

On the side of Big Brother Shen, Second Brother Shen came back with one of the bandit suppressors. He was a little faster because he was worried about Yan Bao.

Who knew that when they came back, they found out that Yan Bao had gone to the bandit village. The second brother Shen was so angry that he almost beat up the eldest brother Shen: "Brother, how could you let Yan Bao do whatever she wants? If anything happens to her, my parents will not be able to bear it."

Brother Shen was speechless: "I don't want to either. You know Yan Bao is a kid. Once he makes a decision, no one can change it."

Knowing that Yan Bao went to the pirates, Brother Shen wanted to follow him. Isn't this for the greater good?

If the news is leaked, Yan Bao will be in danger.

Brother Shen has been enduring it.

Now that Brother Shen said that, I feel even more aggrieved.

Second Brother Shen thought about it and realized that Yan Bao was a very ambitious kid!

Not to mention that the eldest brother couldn't stop him, if he were there, he would probably go with him.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Second Brother Shen apologized awkwardly: “I’m sorry, big brother.”

Brother Shen was also a little embarrassed: "It's my fault that I didn't take good care of him."

Brother Shen scratched his hair: "What should we do now?"

"Wait for news. Yan Bao has taken away the most obedient pigeon. She will send a message to us by carrier pigeon." Brother Shen can only wait now. He goes to the pigeon cage countless times every day.

He was so absent-minded that he couldn't do anything else.

Brother Shen looked at the cooing pigeons with eager eyes.

Brother Shen inquired about the situation in the capital and learned that there were not just 5,000 bandit suppressors, but an extra 1,000 people had infiltrated.

Brother Shen frowned: "Only one thousand?"

"Too many will make them easily noticeable, they are all elite!" Second Brother Shen also felt that it was a little too few. Who knew how many private soldiers the Protector-General had?

Not to mention his private soldiers, he has more than 5,000 regular soldiers under his command.

The people sent by the court did not have an advantage in numbers.

The Protector-General had already figured it out, and seeing that there were indeed 5,000 people, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Five thousand people cannot wipe out the bandits.

There are eight thousand pirates in this area, including his private soldiers.

They have all withdrawn now, leaving only a few pirates used for show, all of whom are old, weak and sick, and there will be no loss if they are eliminated.

The Protector General received news from the pirates that their people had gone into hiding. He didn't know where exactly they were hiding, and the pirates were also on guard against him!

I'm afraid that the Protector-General and the imperial court are in cahoots and will catch them all in one fell swoop.

Yan Bao's carrier pigeon flew to Shen's house in the middle of the night. Brother Shen and his family were resting. The pigeon that arrived at Shen's house hid in the shack to eat and sleep. The next day, Brother Shen came to check, recognized the pigeon that Yan Bao took away, and immediately caught it.

Find the note from the bamboo tube.

Looking at the simple lines above, Brother Shen frowned.

Second Brother Shen looked at the blood and his expression changed: “Yan Bao was injured, is this her blood?”

Brother Shen was also panicked: "Yan Bao!"

Xu Zhimo looked at her panicked brothers and tried to comfort them, "Yan Bao is a lucky man, and nothing will happen to him. Instead of imagining things, why don't you first see what news Yan Bao has given you?"

Brother Shen, coming to his senses, squinted his eyes and fiddled with the line map, finally finding the right direction. He confirmed, "It's a topographic map. This black dot represents us, and this little arrow-like thing is the walking route."

Second Brother Shen suddenly realized: “The bloodstains represent Yan Bao.”

Brother Shen nodded in agreement.

Xu Zhimo was curious: "Do you know where this is?"

Brother Shen paused, "I don't know."

"Don't you have a map of the waters of Jingzhou? Do you want to compare it?" Xu Zhimo kindly reminded him. Knowing that Yan Bao was missing, he had a nightmare last night in which he dreamed that Yan Bao's skull was smashed by someone.

Xu Zhimo thought of his frightened look and Yan Bao, and became anxious.

After being reminded, the eldest and second brothers Shen immediately went to the study to compare.

Yan Bao's diagram is simple and clear, but if you compare and examine it carefully, you can still tell where it is.

Brother Shen didn't expect that the cunning bandits were hiding behind the cliffs of the canyon.

Brother Shen went to help without saying anything.

Brother Shen stopped him and said, "If you go now, you will only alert the enemy. Wait a little longer. Yan Bao has taken away a lot of poison. She knows what to do."

Second Brother Shen raised his eyebrows: “How do you know?”

"She took away all the poisons that your sister-in-law prepared for fun." That's right, she took them without asking.

Knowing that Xu Zhimo would not give him the medicine, he could only act first and ask for permission later.

He also left behind a banknote, which made Xu Zhimo so angry that she didn't know what to say.

It's better for her to take it. With the poison to protect herself, she might be able to escape even if she encounters a dangerous situation.

Second Brother Shen frowned: "Those people from the imperial court went to the water stronghold, and the water bandits all ran away. Should we remind them?"

“No, give this to Ziyun.” Big Brother Shen took a porcelain bottle and handed it to Second Brother Shen: “Be careful, don’t get yourself dizzy.”
