When Kan Chaoyan and Captain Liu were discussing how to attack Canglong Mountain early the next morning, there was a hurried knock on the door.
Kan Chaoyan quickly put away the map and signaled Captain Liu to open the door.
Outside the door, an old woman from the village said anxiously, "Uncle, your little girl was captured by the bandits from Canglong Mountain."
"Bandits?" Captain Liu was stunned. "Bandits are coming?"
The old woman said, "Your little girl was washing by the river when she was spotted by bandits who came down from the mountains. They said they wanted her to be their second in command's concubine and took her away."
Captain Liu blurted out: "Is she willing to go with them too?"
"She's just a little girl. Even if she doesn't want to, what can she do? Can she beat those bandits?"
Captain Liu: “…”
Sorry, she really can beat me.
Seeing that he was not in a hurry, the old woman stomped the wooden stick in her hand angrily and said, "Master, you still have time to chase them now. Bring the girl back before they go far away. If she is taken to the mountain and then rescued, her reputation will be ruined and she will not be able to get married in the future."
"Thank you for telling me, Auntie." Kan Chaoyan came over and asked, "What about the other girls in the village? Are they okay?"
"The girls in the village are not as pretty as your girls, so they only take your girls away."
The old woman didn't know whether she should be glad that the girls in her village were not as pretty as Mu Nanjin.
"Which direction did they go?"
The old woman pointed to the direction of the village entrance: "They rode towards the village entrance."
"Thank you for letting me know." Kan Chaoyan said to Captain Liu and the others, "Let's go."
The Jinyiwei mounted their horses.
The old woman chased after them and shouted, "Be careful, the bandits are all warriors. If you can't beat them, don't fight them head-on."
Kan Chaoyan replied: "We will."
Captain Liu and the others walked away and asked, "Mu Nanjin obviously went with the bandits voluntarily. Should we really go and save her?"
"Since she volunteered, we certainly won't rescue her. Besides, it's the bandits who will suffer the consequences, not her. Once they take her to the mountain, they will know how much they regret capturing her."
Captain Liu burst out laughing: "I am looking forward to how she will make Canglong Mountain a mess."
Captain Song, who was following behind them, said, "As the lady said, it would be bad for her reputation if she followed them up the mountain. Others would think too much."
Captain Ding who was following him said, "As long as we don't say anything, no one will know about this."
Captain Song pointed to his heart and said, "She will tell it herself."
Captain Ding stroked his forehead and said, "How dare she think of anything in her mind?"
"Don't you talk nonsense in your heart?"
Captain Song dared to say that Captain Ding must have cursed even the emperor in his heart.
Captain Ding remained silent.
Fortunately, no one else can hear his thoughts, otherwise he would have lost a thousand heads.
Captain Liu said to Kan Chaoyan, "Sir, what should we do next?"
Kan Chaoyan: "There are too many of us, so we can only move after dark."
"Okay." Captain Liu looked back at his men and asked, "By the way, where is Heitan?"
Everyone: “…”
They were just busy leaving and didn't pay much attention to the horse.
…
At the foot of Canglong Mountain, Mu Nanjin looked at the mountain stairs that seemed to have no end.
"I want to go up the mountain in a sedan chair."
"Hey..." The mountain bandit Yang Bo was amused by her words: "Little girl, do you know that you were captured? You still dare to ask to ride in a mountain sedan chair."
His companion Xu Cheng rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll whip you a few times and see if you still want to ride in the mountain sedan."
Mu Nanjin looked at Xu Cheng: "I may very well be your second in command's future concubine."
Xu Cheng sneered: "So what? It's just a possibility that she can become a concubine, but it's not certain that she can do it."
"If you treat me badly, I will whisper in your ear."
Yang Bo: “…”
Xu Cheng was so angry that he drew the knife from his waist and said, "I'm going to kill you right here and see if you can still persuade me."
Yang Bo quickly held down his hand: "Xu Cheng, what are you doing?"
Xu Cheng said angrily, "What else can we do? Of course we should kill her. Keeping her here now will only cause trouble. Who knows, the second in command might really kill us because of her influence."
"If you kill her now, how will we explain ourselves when we go back? Don't forget that if we don't bring a girl back today, those who are targeting us may not let us survive today."
“…”
Xu Cheng hesitated and put the knife back into the sheath: "What should we do now? Do we really have to carry her up?"
"What else can we do besides lift it?"
If they carry someone up there, the Second in Command will definitely not like the person they touched.
Xu Cheng suppressed his anger and said to his men: "Hurry up and find a sedan chair."
"yes."
About half an hour later, Xu Cheng's men found the sedan chair.
Xu Cheng frowned and asked, "The sedan chair is here, can you leave now?"
Mu Nanjin sat in the sedan chair with satisfaction.
Xu Cheng shouted, "Get the sedan chair up and go up the mountain."
Kan Chaoyan and his men who were hiding in the dark saw Mu Nanjin being carried respectfully up the mountain, and their eyes twitched violently.
If it weren't for people who knew her, they would have thought she was related to the bandits.
Captain Liu was ashamed: "This Mu Nanjin is really capable. He actually made the bandits obey him completely."
Kan Chaoyan replied: "Mu Nanjin has made us obedient, you see, even if the governor is angry, he can't do anything to her, so we can only let her do whatever she wants."
"That's true." Captain Liu chuckled, "Letting them carry the sedan chair is just the beginning. Just wait and see, there will be more trouble later."
It must be said that Captain Liu knew Mu Nanjin very well. After Xu Cheng and his companions walked a mile, Mu Nanjin spoke again: "I'm thirsty."
Yang Bo handed her his water bag.
"You drank it, but I don't."
Yang Bo: “…”
Xu Cheng scolded: "If you don't drink, you will die of thirst."
Mu Nanjin said faintly: "I want to persuade your partner."
Xu Cheng was so angry that his whole body ached: "Wait until you really become the concubine of the second in command."
"I can definitely be his concubine."
Mu Nanjin's tone was certain, which made people inexplicably convinced.
Xu Cheng looked at the small waterfall flowing down from the mountain in front of him and found a large leaf to collect water: "Auntie, the water is coming."
Mu Nanjin glanced at the water on the leaves: "I want to drink hot water."
"you……"
Xu Cheng really wanted to splash water on her face.
Yang Bo said, "Miss, we don't have a pot to boil water, please drink a few sips here."
"Oh." Mu Nanjin took the water and took a sip: "I want to eat barbecue."
Xu Cheng taunted, "Should I prepare a roasted whole pig for you?"
"I've eaten wild boar, pheasant, hare, venison, black bear, bison, and wolf." Mu Nanjin thought seriously and said, "I want to eat tiger meat."
Xu Cheng: “…”
Was it a little girl he caught? No.
The one he caught was a little ancestor.
Yang Bo patiently explained to her: "Girl, there are no tigers or other game in our mountain. If you want to eat, you can only get it back to the village. So we must hurry on our way, otherwise we will starve."
Everyone followed her gaze and Xu Cheng said unhappily, "That's our boss's goshawk, which cannot be eaten. The boss also said that no one can kill the goshawk unless it dies on its own."
If someone sneaks into Canglong Mountain and is discovered by it, it will immediately report back to the boss.
Therefore, not only do people not kill it, they also treat it as a treasure.
"I died..."
Mu Nanjin suddenly narrowed his eyes at the goshawk.
Suddenly, the hawk's body tilted and it fell from the sky.
Xu Cheng's face changed and he hurriedly ran forward three steps to catch the goshawk.
Yang Bo ran over quickly: "Is it okay?"
Xu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately I caught it, if it had fallen to the ground it would have been either dead or crippled."
Mu Nanjin said: "It won't move anymore, it's dead, we can eat it now."
"How could he die out of nowhere?"
Xu Cheng glared at her and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
Seeing that the goshawk really didn't move, Yang Bo quickly checked its body: "It really can't move."
"No way?" Xu Cheng shook the goshawk hard, and then pinched the flesh on its belly a little harder, but there was still no response.
Suddenly, his face turned pale.
"It's over, it's over, it's really dead. Who killed it? Did someone kill it? Or did someone want to harm us and frame us for it?"
Now that Goshawk died in his hands, not many people would believe them even if they said they didn't kill him.
In fact, no matter who killed Ying Cang, they will not escape punishment as long as they are related to them.
The punishment in the village was either death or mutilation, and they didn't want to suffer this punishment for no reason.
Yang Bo frowned: "Maybe someone sneaked into the mountain, and they killed it to prevent the goshawk from informing them."
"Should we tell the boss about this so that they know about it?"
Yang Bo shook his head: "We just need to pretend that it was killed by someone, and then wait for others to find it."
Mu Nanjin asked them: "Can I eat now?"
Xu Cheng yelled angrily: "Shut up, you jinx."
Yang Bo's face darkened: "If you don't want others to know about this, keep your voice down."
Xu Cheng shut his mouth.
Yang Bo looked at the two men who were carrying the sedan chair and said, "If you don't want to die, keep your mouth shut."
The two men nodded hurriedly to save their lives.
"And you too." Xu Cheng glared at Mu Nanjin: "If this gets known, none of us will survive, understand?"
Mu Nanjin nodded: "Can we eat it now?"
Xu Cheng said unhappily, "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. What else can you do besides eating?"
"Pillow talk."
Xu Cheng: “…”
Yang Bo interrupted their bickering: "Now that things have come to this, let's think about how to let people find the goshawk."
Xu Cheng looked around nervously, and seeing no one was around, he quickly pulled up the cloth on the top of the sedan chair to cover the goshawk's body.
"How about we find a place to nail it to a tree?"
Yang Bo shook his head: "It would be bad if I was too deliberate, so I'd better find a place to throw it away casually."
"Where are you looking for?"
As soon as Xu Cheng asked this question, the goshawk fell into Mu Nanjin's hands.
Mu Nanjin tore off the cloth and threw the hawk to the bottom of the mountain: "It's done, can we go now?"
Xu Cheng, Yang Bo: "..."
"I'm hungry." Mu Nanjin patted the armrest of the chair and said, "Let's go, let's go."
The two men looked at Yang Bo and the others, and seeing that they had no objection, they carried the sedan chair upstairs.
Yang Bo followed behind and said, "Little girl, I have been a bandit for many years and I have never seen anyone so calm after being tied up in the mountains."
Mu Nanjin sighed: "My strength doesn't allow me to cry, make a scene, or even hang myself."
Xu Cheng sneered: "What strength do you have?"
Mu Nanjin: "The ability to make all men obey you."
Yang Bo: “…”
Xu Cheng: "This is an exaggeration."
Mu Nanjin asked him back: "Aren't you just intolerant of me?"
Xu Cheng said angrily: "We can't touch you for some reason. Don't really think we dare not kill you."
"Then serve me well, and I may save your life."
"You..."
Yang Bo said to Xu Cheng: "She has a point."
"Yang Bo, why do you keep speaking for her?"
Yang Bo lowered his voice and said in his ear: "We all know the character of the Second Master. If she can catch his eye, we will all be better off."
Xu Cheng stopped talking.
Next, he did not target Mu Nanjin directly.
As long as Mu Nanjin's request was not too excessive, he could tolerate it.
There are eight peaks in Canglong Mountain, and the second in command is on the third peak.
It was already late afternoon when Xu Cheng and his companions returned to the third mountain. They went to eat first, then washed up before going to look for the second in command.
As soon as they entered the second in command's yard, they heard the laughter of men and women.
Zhou Kun in the room asked tentatively: "Second Master, are you satisfied with the girl we found?"
The second in command smiled heartily: "Satisfied, of course I am satisfied."
"The matter of protecting the Dharma..."
The second in command stopped laughing and said, "We have to wait until Yang Bo and the others come back before making a decision."
"Of course." Zhou Kun's smile was very fake, and he didn't want Yang Bo to come back at all.
Then, the guard outside the door said, "Second Master, Yang Bo and the others are back."
"They are back, let them in." The second in command smiled happily: "I want to see if they have brought the girl back?"
The guard smiled and said, "They brought a beautiful girl with them. I guarantee that the Second Commander will be satisfied."
Zhou Kun sneered: "No matter how beautiful she is, she is not as beautiful as the girl I brought back."
The guard smiled but said nothing.
Yang Bo and Xu Cheng walked in.
The second in command looked behind them and asked, "Where is the little girl you brought back?"
Xu Cheng said: "She is waiting outside."
Zhou Kun sneered: "I think he couldn't find a pretty girl so he didn't have the face to bring her in."
Xu Cheng glanced at the woman sitting in the second in command's arms. She was pretty, but she was like a prostitute in the village with her face painted red and green. "In your eyes, beautiful girls are nothing but rouge and powder. What we brought this time will definitely make the second in command's eyes light up."
"Then why don't you call the person in? I want to see how beautiful the person you bring back is."
Xu Cheng called out to the people outside: "Little girl, you can come in now."
Everyone looked towards the door, and a beautiful figure walked in from outside.
