To protect the rice paddies, Nanqun even built a thatched hut next to them.

Insects chirped in the grass at night, and the rice seedlings in the paddy fields seemed to have grown taller under the moonlight.

Life is full of hope. If this rice is successful, they will be able to eat white rice every day from now on.

Thinking of this, Nanqun couldn't help but feel happy.

Just then, his sharp eyes caught sight of the swaying grass.

Large wild beasts on the mountain usually don't come down. Remembering what Zhizhi had told him during the day, Nanqun immediately ran back, grabbed his tools, and went to the rice paddy.

At the same time, Nanzhi and the others also rushed to the rice paddies.

Following the system's instructions, Nan Zhi located the three opponents and then winked at the two people behind her.

Let her clean up after the last person.

Song Hanyan followed Nan Zhi in a low voice, "Zhizhi, what should we do next?"

Nanzhi sat down on the ground, "Keep me company and watch the stars and the moon."

Song Hanyan was slightly taken aback, but followed Nan Zhi's instructions and sat down.

Nanzhi looked at him curiously, "Aren't you going to ask me why?"

"You must have a reason for doing this. All I need to do is protect you."

Under the moonlight, Nan Zhi's smile seemed to be bathed in light, making a certain man's heart burn with desire.

Song Hanyan swallowed hard, his voice hoarse, "Zhizhi, may I... kiss you?"

Before he could think, the other person pounced on him and pinned him to the ground.

After the two of them did something, Cherry in the space was dumbfounded.

Good heavens, while everyone else is busy catching thieves, you two are enjoying a romantic evening under the moon and flowers.

Their home was robbed, yet they're still all lovey-dovey.

Defending the country and its people was swift; they captured two men and brought them back.

The other person was dressed in night clothes, bound hand and foot, and gagged.

Nan Zhi: "Release the person."

Wei Guoweimin kicked him, and the man in black knelt in front of Nan Zhi, but he was able to speak.

Tell me, who is behind you?

The man in black was captured, and knowing he couldn't escape, he steeled himself and decided to commit suicide.

Unfortunately, a force held it back, and despite all its efforts, it couldn't bite through the poison sac in its mouth.

"No need to exert yourself, Weiguo and Weimin, just pry the stuff out of their mouths."

"Master, this guy was hiding poison. It was my mistake during the inspection."

If their master hadn't discovered it early, these two would be dead.

"I'd rather die than reveal anything," Nan Zhi said. "Take him away and interrogate him thoroughly."

She then collapsed into Song Hanyan's arms. Song Hanyan's cheeks were burning, and he seemed to be still in a daze.

Nan Zhi sighed softly. What a pure-hearted general! But now is not the time for romance.

She followed the system's instructions to the last person's hiding place, only to find Nan Qun there.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Nan Qun was pulling the man back by one of his legs.

“Zhizhi, that bastard actually tried to pull up the seedlings. If it weren’t for me, he would have succeeded.”

Nan Qun couldn't help but kick the other person, sending the person on the ground tumbling over.

Nan Qun squinted and felt increasingly familiar with the person, until he could clearly see the face on the ground.

Nanqun panicked.

Did he get into trouble?

"Zhizhi, why don't you run away?" Nan Qun's voice trembled.

Why did you run away?

"This, this is an official from the imperial court. My uncle hit him, he will definitely take revenge."

Moreover, the other party was knocked unconscious by him with a shovel. Zhizhi's official position is not as high as the other party's, and in the future, it may implicate the whole family.

Nan Qun was filled with regret, but now that the other party was unconscious, there was nothing he could do.

Nanzhi comforted him, "Uncle, don't worry, leave this to me. Uncle, did he see your face?"

As an official, Li Gaoyi actually led the way in pulling up rice seedlings; Namji will not let this go so easily.

But she wanted to know more.

For example, who exactly instructed Li Gaoyi to come?

Nan Qun shook his head. He had sneaked up behind the other person and shoveled him, but the other person hadn't seen his face.

"That's good. Uncle, don't worry. He didn't even see your face, so he naturally won't recognize who hit him."

Nan Qun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What does Zhizhi intend to do with this person?"

Nanzhi thought for a moment and said, "If we hand it over to the government, they will be afraid of the other party's identity. It would be better if we interrogated them ourselves."

"You can leave it to me; I'm sure I can make Zhizhi's wish come true."

Nan Zhi trusted Song Hanyan, so she let him take the person back.

The bigger this matter becomes, the better. Nanzhi told Nanqun to go back and spread the word, so that everyone would know.

That evening, Song Hanyan had someone take the three of them away.

In the military camp's secret dungeon, two blood-covered bodies hung in front of Li Gaoyi.

The moment he opened his eyes, he wished he could faint again.

"Help! Help!"

Unfortunately, he was also tied to a cross, and his upper body clothes were stripped off.

"It seems you are very disobedient."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Li Gaoyi trembled all over.

These were the same people who beat him that night, and it was from this same voice.

So he has now been captured and taken to the opposing side.

Li Gaoyi cried and pleaded, "Who are you people? Do you know who I am? If you hurt me, there are people in the capital who will not let you get away with it."

The other person was wearing a mask, so Li Gaoyi couldn't see his face.

But you can feel the chill emanating from the other person.

"You think the sky is high and the earth is far, what does losing a person matter?"

Song Hanyan held a red-hot branding iron in his hand and approached step by step.

"What are you doing? I'm a sixth-rank official in the imperial court!"

"Tell me what you know, or else..."

The eyes behind the mask were cold and sinister, and the branding iron, drawing ever closer, was scorching hot, burning the skin even through the air.
