Xiao Shengxing pulled Su Lijin and quietly retreated to the side.
"Damn it! Charge!" the bandit leader yelled, wanting to lead his men out.
Almost instantly, the arrows in the hands of the officers and soldiers fell, and the bandits were either killed or injured. In just half a cup of tea, they were all wiped out.
Looking at the village that was emptied in an instant, Su Lijin exclaimed in admiration, "They are truly foresighted. They knew that place would attract a huge response from the government."
Xiao Shengxing's plan was actually planned in advance with the government.
He deliberately let the bandits get the silver, and when they were celebrating and drunk, he caught them all in one fell swoop!
"How about this strategist, you stay in the government and work there?" The official waved at Xiao Shengxing.
Su Lijin raised her eyebrows. Xiao Shengxing, an emperor, was left behind to be a counselor for the government?
This kind of fun thing is really rare.
Xiao Shengxing's expression remained unchanged as he calmly refused, "To be honest, I am one of the Emperor's personal soldiers. I was ordered to do my duty and only came here to help suppress the bandits."
The official was shocked to see that Xiao Shengxing had an extraordinary bearing and indeed carried the nobility of the capital.
Thinking that this person was most likely the emperor's henchman, he immediately did not dare to stop him: "Please, I am sorry for being rude."
Nodding to him, Xiao Shengxing left without stopping.
Su Lijin hurried to catch up and continued on his way, saying with a smile, "Hey, you really don't want to stay and be an advisor?"
"In no mood!!"
After leaving, Xiao Shengxing received a letter from the front.
In the inn, he released the carrier pigeon in his hand, and then his eyes fell on the letter in his hand.
But after reading the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Xiao Shengxing's subtle reaction, Su Lijin subconsciously felt something was wrong and asked.
"The war situation at the front is intense and has reached a very serious level, but Su Moyuan hasn't arrived yet. It's been a long time since he set out, and he still hasn't arrived. What could be possible?"
When Xiao Shengxing said this, he subconsciously looked at Su Lijin beside him.
Hearing this, Su Lijin frowned slightly and thought seriously for a moment before speaking.
"He must have been tripped up by something."
Being able to hold back Su Moyuan must be no easy task. It seems we have to hurry up.
Xiao Shengxing sighed slightly helplessly, then put the letter away.
"Why don't we follow the path Su Moyuan would take and see what's going on?"
Su Lijin said.
Xiao Shengxing thought it made sense, and this was the only solution at the moment.
"Get a good rest tonight and get up early tomorrow to travel."
He gave her instructions, and Su Lijin agreed and went to the next room to rest.
But Su Lijin couldn't sleep much the whole night, after all, it was about her brother's safety.
How could she really not be worried at all?
When Su Lijin woke up the next morning, she didn't look very well.
"Don't worry too much. We'll hurry up and get on with our journey today. Everything will be fine."
Xiao Shengxing seemed to have noticed something and spoke soothingly.
Su Lijin nodded, and after eating something, the two of them set out to catch up according to the route on the map.
She had almost no rest for a whole day and night. When the sky was getting light, Su Lijin saw a village in the distance.
The two people came to the front of the village and saw the sign at the entrance of the village.
"Yemura?"
Su Lijin opened her thin lips slightly and murmured with some doubt.
Then he took out the map and checked it carefully, and found that there was no such Ye Village on the map at all.
"Did I buy a fake map? There's no such thing as Ye Village on it!"
"Let's go in and take a look first." After the two of them went in, Su Lijin saw a vendor selling maps at a glance.
Thinking that the map I had was useless, I planned to buy a new one.
Who knew that just when he was about to pay, the vendor snatched away his entire purse.
Su Lijin paused, with a look of surprise in her eyes. Seeing that the vendor was about to run away, Xiao Shengxing jumped up and kicked the vendor on the shoulder.
He fell to the ground in pain, wailing unconsciously.
"How dare you hit me! Do you know who I am? Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
Instead of being afraid, the man threatened fiercely.
Su Lijin crossed her arms and cast a cold gaze on the merchant: "I advise you to return the purse to me now, otherwise I won't know who will be killed later."
The vendor's face changed, and after getting up from the ground, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, if there are any of you who are not afraid of death, come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen men holding long knives came out from the surrounding alleys.
He stared at Su Lijin and Xiao Shengxing ferociously, as if they were two lambs to be slaughtered.
Unexpectedly, Su Lijin was not afraid at all. She pursed her thin lips and had a disdainful smile on her face.
"Huh, it seems like there are quite a few people who are not afraid of death these days."
As she spoke, she gave Xiao Shengxing a look.
The moment their eyes met, even without saying a word, it seemed as if they had spoken a thousand words.
Xiao Shengxing nodded, then dodged the long knife of the man behind him by moving sideways and punched the man in the stomach.
At the moment when Xiao Shengxing took action, Su Lijin quickly came to the other man who took action.
She leaped up, stepped on the man's shoulders and jumped to a height that was difficult for ordinary people to reach, then raised her foot and kicked the man's neck hard.
The moment the man fell to the ground, he snatched the long knife from his hand and started fighting with the remaining people who surrounded him.
The merchant, who originally had a very arrogant look, gradually became serious after seeing Su Lijin and Xiao Shengxing stretching their hands high.
In a short while, the dozen or so people who were originally holding long swords all fell to the ground.
There was no blood on the knife, and neither of them killed anyone, but these people would probably have to lie in bed for ten days or half a month.
The vendor also realized that something was wrong and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Master, I was wrong. I didn't recognize the real man. I really know I was wrong. Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Su Lijin didn't say anything and silently extended her hand.
The merchant wisely placed the purse in Su Lijin's hand, and then respectfully handed her a new map.
Su Lijin looked at the marks on the map and unexpectedly discovered that there was more than one Ye Village here.
There are many similar small villages around Ye Village.
"Have you seen a strange man who is not from your village but is with the Mongols?"
Xiao Shengxing asked the vendor.
