Su Mo angrily asked: "Yesong, what are you doing?"

"You stinky bitch, this is none of your business, get away from me."

Ye Song kicked her away.

"Mo Niang, are you okay?"

Jian Piao quickly helped Su Mo up.

Su Mo was in so much pain that he could hardly stand up: "You bastard, how dare you kick me."

Kan Chaoyan and Captain Liu quickly drew their swords and pointed them at Ye Song: "Let go of Mu Yatou."

Ye Song smiled coldly: "You really care about her."

Kan Chaoyan said in a deep voice: "What on earth do you want to do by catching this little girl? Are you looking for money? I will give you as much as you want."

"Bah, I don't want your stinky money." Ye Song pressed the dagger: "All of you get out of my way, or I will kill her."

【Oh yeah, I'm being held hostage. 】

【This is the first time in my life that I have been held hostage.】

[The only thing that makes me dissatisfied is...]

[Brother, your dagger is not sharp enough. It can't even cut my skin. It can't pose a threat to me.]

[By the way, should I show fear to show that I am being held hostage? ]

Mu Nanjin said expressionlessly: "Save me."

Jinyiwei: "..."

Sorry, forgive our shortsightedness.

From the way you look, we really can't tell that you are afraid.

“Puff——”

Captain Liu couldn't help but almost laughed out loud.

Fortunately, he braked quickly and quickly covered it up with a cough: "Cough cough."

Kan Chaoyan gave him a sidelong glance.

Su Mo: “…”

Was it her illusion? Why did she feel that the coughing man was trying hard to hold back his laughter?

Seeing that the Jinyiwei did not move, Ye Song shouted angrily, "Get out of my way now."

[He asked you to move aside, why don't you move aside? ]

[Aren't you afraid that I'll get hurt? ]

[Humph, you all don’t take me seriously. ]

Kan Chaoyan was ashamed and quickly shouted to the Jinyiwei: "Everyone retreat outside the inn."

"yes."

All the Jinyiwei left the inn.

After Ye Song walked out of the inn, he said, "Bring me a horse."

Kan Chaoyan was waiting for him to say this, and he ordered Captain Liu, "Go and bring Heitan over here."

"yes."

Captain Liu ran to the backyard of the inn and said to Heitan, who was still bright even without the light, "Your master has been kidnapped. The kidnappers said they wanted to leave on horseback. You have no choice but to suffer."

"Hmph."

Heitan snorted angrily and ran out the door.

Kan Chaoyan said: "The horse is coming."

Heitan ran up to Ye Song and looked him up and down with contempt.

Ye Song: “…”

This horse obviously couldn't speak, so why did he feel like he was being despised all over?

Ye Song and Su Mo stared at the horse in amazement.

This black horse is so beautiful.

What's outrageous is that as human beings, they actually feel like they are being outshined by a horse.

Suddenly, Heitan raised his right front hoof and slapped Ye Song's left cheek.

"ah--"

Ye Song screamed in pain. Not only was he knocked away, but all the teeth on the left half of his face were knocked out.

Su Mo and Jian Piao were dumbfounded.

Could this horse be a spirit? It actually slaps people like a human.

【well.】

【Alas, alas. 】

【Ahhhhhhhhhhh. 】

[You can't even beat a horse, how dare you kidnap me? 】

Jinyiwei: “…”

I guess no one here can beat your horse.

Kan Chaoyan came to Mu Nanjin and said, "Mu girl, are you okay?"

Mu Nanjin touched his uninjured neck and said, "It's okay."

[I wanted to say I was in trouble, but his dagger was not strong enough and couldn't even cut the hair on my body.]

[Alas, when will an expert come and kidnap me, and then let the governor come to rescue the beauty, hehe. ]

Kan Chaoyan: “…”

The governor knows your ability and probably won’t rescue you.

After Jinyiwei captured Ye Song, they surrounded Su Mo and the others.

Mu Nanjin said: "Let them go."

Captain Liu was puzzled: "This man wanted to hold you hostage, and you let him go?"

[If I didn't do it voluntarily, could he hold me hostage? ]

Captain Liu: “…”

Mu Nanjin glanced at Ye Song and said, "His brother was killed by the governor, so he wanted to capture me to threaten the governor. Miss Su and the others don't know anything about Ye Song, so why bother them? Besides, you don't want to take them on the road, do you?"

"..." Captain Liu ordered to release Ye Song and the others.

Mu Nanjin said to Su Mo, "I'll have to trouble Miss Su to help me comb my hair again."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Su Mo gave Mu Nanjin a simple hairstyle.

At this time, the Jinyiwei who were staying in other inns came to the inn to gather.

“So many people?”

Jian Piao murmured.

At a glance, he saw at least five thousand people.

The Imperial Guards are about to take a big action.

Mu Nanjin walked up to Ye Song and said seriously, "Next time, bring your leader to kidnap me."

[It must feel great to be kidnapped by the leader of the evil cult. I don’t know if the leader is handsome or not. If he is not handsome, it’s fine. I’m afraid that when he comes to kidnap me, he will see that he is too ugly and beat him to death. That would be too unfair for him.]

Jinyiwei: “…”

Ye Song said viciously: "I will definitely bring our leader to find you."

"Cult leader?" Su Mo asked hurriedly, "Is he from the Demon Cult?"

Mu Nanjin hummed.

"I hate the Demon Cult the most in my life." Su Mo kicked Ye Song several times: "I told you to kick me."

“Ahh—”

Ye Song felt like his whole body was about to fall apart.

"leave."

Kan Chaoyan gave the order for everyone to mount their horses.

Mu Nanjin lay on the horse's back with his eyes closed and said, "Heitan, I need to take a nap. Just follow Captain Liu and the others."

"Oh."

Heitan didn't wait for Kan Chaoyan's order, he raised his front feet and ran, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Kan Chaoyan let out a long sigh, these are all troublesome people.

"Let's chase."

The Jinyiwei rode on horseback to chase Mu Nanjin.

Fortunately, Heitan left hoof prints. When they found Heitan and his friends, Mu Nanjin had already caught several pheasants and was waiting for them to help grill them.

In order to prevent Mu Nanjin from causing trouble again, Kan Chaoyan had no choice but to discuss with her: "Mu girl, our large number will attract a lot of attention, and we must rush to Jiangnan before being discovered. Therefore, I hope that what happened last night will not happen again during the journey, such as talking to strangers and revealing our identities. After completing the task, we will take you to travel around Jiangnan and eat all the Jiangnan delicacies."

Mu Nanjin readily agreed: "Okay."

Seeing that she agreed so quickly, Kan Chaoyan felt inexplicably uneasy: "Let me make it clear first, if we don't complete the task, we will not be allowed to play, and we will have to go directly back to Beijing to accept punishment. So you have to take this mission seriously."

"good."

Kan Chaoyan was still worried and asked, "Let me ask you first, besides traveling around Jiangnan and eating delicious food, what else do you want?"

It would be better to ask clearly about this matter, as he doesn't want any other accidents to happen.

"I want to watch the martial arts tournament."

Mu Nanjin read in the eight news reports that a martial arts competition would be held at the residence of the martial arts leader in half a month, and she wanted to join in the fun.

Kan Chaoyan: “…”

If he doesn't agree, the little girl will definitely cause all kinds of trouble on the road.

But if they agreed, she would still do something that they couldn't control.

Since the result is the same, it is better to comfort her first.

"Okay, after watching the martial arts competition, we'll go back to Beijing."

Mu Nanjin patted Heitan's neck with satisfaction: "Heitan, let's go."

Heitan raised his foot and disappeared in an instant.

Kan Chaoyan rubbed his aching brow.

Captain Liu finally couldn't help asking, "Lord Kan, suppressing bandits is an important mission. Why did you think of bringing Mu Nanjin along? Although she is a skilled martial artist, she is out of our control and that is a big problem."

Kan Chaoyan put down his hand and said, "You know that the Seventh Prince's wealth was robbed by Heitan, right?"

"Of course I know. How could I not know about such a big thing?"

Kan Chaoyan took a deep breath and said, "The emperor asked me to handle this matter and give Mu Yatou a small punishment. With Mu Yatou's love of money, do you think she will give up all the Seventh Prince's wealth?"

Based on Captain Liu's understanding of Mu Nanjin, he shook his head and said, "She will definitely not hand it over, and she won't even admit that she took the money."

"It's good that you know. I can only punish Mu Yatou in another way, and compensate the Seventh Prince for his losses. Suppressing the bandits is the best way. Let Mu Yatou deal with the bandits who have always given us a headache, and we can use the gold, silver and jewelry robbed by the bandits to make up for the Seventh Prince's losses. Don't you think this is killing two birds with one stone?"

"It's more than just killing one or two birds, it's like killing several birds with one stone." Captain Liu gave Kan Chaoyan a thumbs up in admiration: "Great."

"No more talking, let's quickly catch up with Mu Nanjin. I'm really worried that no one is watching her."

Kan Chaoyan threw away the whip and sped up his horse to chase Mu Nanjin.

The others followed closely behind.

For the next seven days, Mu Nanjin listened to them in all aspects except eating, which made them all feel relieved.

On the eighth day after leaving Beijing, they finally arrived near Canglong Mountain, and the Jinyiwei divided into groups and found places to hide.

Kan Chaoyan, who was hiding in a small village, took out the map of Canglong Mountain and said to Mu Nanjin: "This is the map of Canglong Mountain that our people spent two years drawing."

Mu Nanjin looked at the mountains, trees, houses and paths drawn on the map and couldn't help frowning.

[Such a simple picture is definitely not drawn by a child? 】

[I bet you’ll get lost in a matter of minutes if you follow the map.]

【So there is a reason why we cannot defeat the bandits. 】

[I am embarrassed to say that I don’t understand the results of the two years of investigation, otherwise I would be sorry for my brothers who have worked so hard for two years.]

Kan Chaoyan and Liu Baihu: "..."

The map is indeed a bit crude.

There was no other way. It was not easy to enter the mountains, and it was good enough to risk one's life to investigate the terrain and draw a rough map.

Kan Chaoyan coughed lightly, pointed at one of the places and said, "We..."

[There is a trap here. If you enter from here, you will fall into the trap. The people on the mountain will soon find out that someone is attacking them.]

Everyone: “…”

Kan Chaoyan swallowed back the words he hadn't said yet, and changed his words: "We send ten people to pretend to attack here, and then..."

He pointed somewhere else.

[There is a small bandit group there. If we attack them, we will definitely have a life-and-death fight and lose at least a hundred brothers.]

[Alas, the map is too crude. Even if I tell them where the traps are, it’s useless. They don’t know where I’m talking about.]

Kan Chaoyan gave Captain Liu a wink.

Captain Liu understood, and he asked Mu Nanjin: "Mu Nanjin, I see you are frowning all the time. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I'm not..." Mu Nanjin thought for a moment and changed his words: "I'm just feeling unwell. I'm going to the bathroom."

Captain Liu was speechless: "Mu Nanjin, you are a girl, you should be more tactful when talking about this matter."

[Isn't it tactful enough for me to say "go to the toilet"? How much more tactful can it be? ]

Mu Nanjin nodded: "I'll go there."

[Isn't 'that' euphemistic enough? But 'that' represents so many meanings. Do you know what 'that' means? ]

[Next time we eat, I’ll say that too, and see if you can understand.]

Captain Liu waved his hand unhappily: "Go ahead."

Mu Nanjin left.

The others couldn't hold back their laughter any longer.

Kan Chaoyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This little girl is really..."

Captain Liu said: "She will piss me off to death sooner or later."

"If I can't hear what she says here..." Kan Chaoyan pointed to his heart and said, "Then she is a very obedient subordinate."

Captain Liu: “…”

That's true.

The words that come out of her mouth are rarely contradictory.

"What should we do next? What we investigated is very different from what Mu Nanjin said. Our previous plan will not work."

Kan Chaoyan said with a smile: "Mu Yatou will definitely bring unexpected surprises when she goes out."

Captain Liu's eyes twitched: "She wouldn't go to fight the bandits alone, would she?"

Kan Chaoyan paused and said, "That shouldn't be the case."

"What she does is always unexpected. If I hadn't heard what she said here..." Captain Liu pointed to his chest and said, "I have no idea what she wants to do."

Kan Chaoyan couldn't refute it.

But he had promised her that she wouldn't do anything rash.

She is still very trustworthy in this regard.

About an hour later, Mu Nanjin came back.

Captain Liu asked, "Mu Nanjin, why did you take so long?"

Mu Nanjin handed over the paper in his hand.

"What's this?"

Captain Liu took it and opened it, and found that it was actually a map of Canglong Mountain.

This map was drawn in great detail, with the paths and forks in the mountains clearly drawn, and even a few places in the mountains clearly marked.

"Where did this map come from?"

[Of course I drew it myself. ]

Captain Liu: “…”

How is it possible to draw such a detailed map in just one hour?

However, nothing is impossible for Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin lied to him, "I asked the bandits for it."

Kan Chaoyan pretended not to know the truth: "How could the bandits give you the map?"

"I'll beat him until he gives it to me."

Kan Chaoyan asked again: "What about the bandits you beat?"

"I tied him up and hid him."

“…”

Kan Chaoyan asked Captain Liu.

"Captain Liu, do you think this map is real or fake?"

Captain Liu pretended to study it: "It looks real. Why don't we send someone to explore the way and find out whether it is true or not."

"You're right." Kan Chaoyan put away the map and said, "I'll go explore the route tonight."

As for whether he has found the way or not, only he himself knows.
