Captain Liang decided to travel in two days. On the first day, he followed Captain Liu's instructions to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to rest, and then hunted some game for Mu Nanjin to barbecue.

Mu Nanjin, who was originally in a bad mood because of the change of tasks, suddenly felt better after eating the delicious barbecue. Although he couldn't see it on his face, he was very happy in his heart.

[It’s delicious. Liang Baihu’s grilled meat is delicious. Thumbs up to him. 】

[No, one like is too little. I want thirty-six likes. If Captain Liang is no longer an official, I will fund him to open a barbecue restaurant. I dare say that his cooking skills will definitely be popular in Beijing.]

[Ah~ This roasted meat really touched my heart. 】

The five hundred households couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Captain Liang handed the roasted meat to her and said, "Eat more."

"Thanks."

Mu Nanjin took the meat and continued to praise Liang Baihu in his heart.

She was happy, but some people were unhappy the whole time.

Zhong Yu and the others sat in the distance, staring at Mu Nanjin while taking bites of their dry food.

"Look at how Captain Liang is fawning on us, as if he can get promoted by pleasing Mu Nanjin."

"As long as Mu Nanjin persuades the governor and his men, he might be promoted. Captain Liu is the best example."

"Captain Liu was promoted because of his meritorious service in suppressing bandits and his greatly increased strength."

"Even so, there must be something fishy going on. The promotions at that time seemed to be for the sake of complementing Mu Nanjin's promotion. After they came back, they were all promoted immediately."

"I'm just wondering, don't the five captains have any objections? One or two of them are still laughing like idiots."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Captain Liang really tried his best to please Mu Nanjin. In the past, Captain Liang, who only brought dry food when he went on a mission, actually brought seasonings, and the seasonings were so complete that I thought Captain Liang was not a Jinyiwei but a chef. Also, when we wanted to grill meat during a mission in the past, we were scolded to death, but now, the first thing he does after getting off the horse is to hunt for game."

The person who talked about this was Yu Jie. The more he talked, the angrier he became. Finally, he took it out on the dry food. He took a big bite of the dry food, chewed it hard, and swallowed it.

Fan Zhi said: "It's useless for us to complain here, and we can't urge Liang Baihu to hurry up."

These words really touched everyone's heart.

They could only vent their anger by biting dry food.

One of the five centurions saw the general flag and his men chewing on dry food and said, "Ai Qi, Zhong Yu, go hunt some game and roast it yourself."

The generals: "..."

They were almost full before they talked. Wasn't it too late? Mu Nanjin began to feel sleepy after eating and drinking, but she was riding an ordinary horse, which was certainly not as comfortable as Heitan's, nor was she as safe.

[Black Charcoal, where have you been? ]

[I asked you to bring the Phantom Thief Ten Thousand Hands back to the capital, where did you take him? Don’t you know the way to the capital? ]

[You are a demon, right? It would be stupid if you don't know the way. ]

Liang Baihu and others: "!!!"

They had heard that Heitan was a horse demon, and even now that Mu Nanjin admitted it himself, they were still shocked.

After nightfall, they checked into an inn in the small town and set off again at dawn the next day.

This time, Captain Liang and his men not only sped up their horses, but also rode non-stop to the woods near Chenhua Village at noon and hid there.

Captain Liang lowered his voice and said to everyone: "In order to prevent Fang Dashi and his men from escaping at night, we have to act immediately to capture them."

Everyone nodded.

"Another point is that in addition to Fang Dashi and his men, there are also ordinary people in Chenhua Village. However, Fang Dashi and his men are good at disguising themselves, and we cannot tell who is from Fang Dashi and who is an ordinary person. Therefore, when we attack, we should try not to hurt the other party. It is best to fix the other party's acupuncture points and then tie them up. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"Okay, the next steps will be arranged by me. I will do it only when I say so."

Zhong Yu asked quickly: "Captain Liang, wouldn't it be too obvious if we were wearing the Feiyu suits? Fang Dashi and his men might run away if they saw us from a distance."

"I also think of this, but it has both advantages and disadvantages. If someone runs away when they see us, it means that there is definitely something wrong with this person, and we can arrest them at will. But if they don't run away and can remain calm when they see us, then it will be useless for us to change into regular clothes."

Zhong Yu thought about it and agreed.

Captain Liang looked at the others and said, "Do you have any questions? If not, let's go."

At the same time, Chenhua Village was peaceful. Some people were working in the fields, some were going home to cook, and children were playing on the road. The adults couldn't help but smile when they heard the children's laughter.

Just as everyone was getting ready to go home for lunch, a rumbling sound was heard in the distance.

The man who was on guard on the mountain looked in the direction of the sound. The first thing he saw was a sky full of yellow dust, and then he saw a group of Jinyiwei rushing towards them.

Guan Nianyun, who was on guard, hurried to Fang Dashi's yard and said, "Brother, it's bad. The Jinyiwei have come to our village."

Fang Dashi, who was playing with the children, heard this, patted the two children on the head and said, "Go to the kitchen and ask if the food is ready?"

The two children nodded obediently.

After they entered the kitchen, he suddenly frowned and asked in a low voice, "How many people are here?"

"There are probably dozens of people, and judging from their Feiyu uniforms, most of them are general flags. Big brother, let's go quickly, or it will be too late."

"What's the hurry?"

Fang Dashi glared at him unhappily: "I don't know if they are just passing by or are here to look for us. It would be better if they are just passing by, otherwise I..."

There was a murderous look in his eyes.

"Brother, aren't we going to run?"

Fang Dashi led his men out of the yard and pointed at the house, asking angrily, "My women and children are in the house, how can you let me run? Are you going to take your family with you? How far do you think you can run with your people? If you don't take them with you, can you bear to leave your family here to be captured by the Jinyiwei?"

What puzzled him most was how the Jinyiwei found out that they were hiding here? When did they reveal their true colors? Guan Nianyun certainly couldn't bear to see his family suffer: "Then what should we do?"

"Tell the other brothers first and we'll wait and see if they're just passing by. If they are, we won't have to pay any attention to them. If they're here to catch us, we'll fight them."

"good."

Guan Nianyun left in a hurry.

Fang Dashi murmured, "I hope they are not here to arrest us."

At the entrance of the village, the head of the village learned that the Jinyiwei had arrived, and hurried over: "I am the head of Chenhua Village, and I am honored to meet you all."

Seeing that the nearest house was fifty feet away, Captain Liang took out twenty taels of silver and threw it to the village head: "We have been traveling for most of the day and haven't had lunch yet. Please ask the villagers to cook us a meal."

How could the head of the village dare to refuse? "Sir, our village only has simple food and drink, please don't be disgusted."

"That's better than eating dry food. Please lead the way."

"Yes, yes, gentlemen, please come in." The village head made a gesture of invitation.

The Jinyiwei followed the head of the village into the village. When they passed the first house, the head of the village shouted to the middle-aged man who was chopping wood, "Dabei, the adults are going to have lunch in the village. Go and ask everyone to move the tables and chairs from their homes to my yard, and find some people to help cook."

"Okay." Dabei glanced at the Jinyiwei and went to find someone with an axe in hand.

[Dabei? Oh, Fang Dashi's men. 】

Captain Liang and Captain Wu looked at each other but did not take any action immediately.

The village head led them past the third house and called out, "Ah Chun, can you lend me your big pot?"

Then, a tall and strong woman came out with a spatula and said, "Li Zheng, what do you want the big pot for?"

She was stunned when she saw a large group of Jinyiwei.

The village head said, "I cook for the adults."

"Okay, I'll deliver it to your house later."

After that, the village head called several people to help one after another, and these people turned out to be Fang Dashi's accomplices. Then, Liang Baihu and his men discovered a problem, that is, Fang Dashi's people have a characteristic that they are tall and strong.

When they arrived at the headman's house, the villagers moved all the tables and chairs from their homes over.

Yang Bo took out a white handkerchief from his arms.

Xu Cheng teased him: "How come a grown man like you wear girly things? Why didn't I realize you were such a sissy before?"

"Go." Yang Bo rolled his eyes at him and walked to one of the chairs to wipe it: "Girl, this chair is clean. Come and sit down."

Mu Nanjin nodded.

Xu Cheng gave Yang Bo a thumbs up and said, "You are so considerate. How about you clean the chair next to me and let me sit on it?"

"Wipe it off yourself."

Yang Bo threw the dirty handkerchief at him.

Captain Liang sat down opposite Mu Nanjin and said, "Mu Nanjin, if you have any dishes you want to eat, tell the village head. If they have any, ask them to make them for you."

Mu Nanjin said: "No."

The village head found that the Jinyiwei were quite caring towards the girl, so he said with a smile: "How about I cook one of my specialties for her to try?"

Mu Nanjin nodded.

After seeing this scene, Fang Dashi, who was hiding in the house and observing, whispered: "From what I have observed, those five hundred households seem to listen to the words of one hundred households. It's really strange."

The official rank of a Five Hundred Households is half a rank higher than that of a Hundred Households. How could he listen to someone of a lower rank than himself?

Little did they know that it was Kan Chaoyan's arrangement. The main reason was that Liang Baihu was quite familiar with Mu Nanjin and understood her personality to some extent. If he led the team, Mu Nanjin would more or less listen to him. But it would be hard to say if it was someone else.

The five hundred households naturally had no objection, and they did not want to be burdened with things that were beyond their control.

Guan Nianyun whispered, "Maybe this centurion has someone behind him, so the other five hundred households listen to him. We have seen many things like this."

In the past, I have seen many high-ranking officials obey the orders of young men who had no official position. This was because the person behind this young man was more powerful than the high-ranking official.

Chunhua said, "I see everyone is taking good care of the little girl. If we start a fight with them, we can capture the little girl and threaten them. I believe they won't ignore the little girl's life and capture us."

Fang Dashi and the others nodded.

The village head walked into the house and said, "Chunhua, why don't you go to the vegetable garden and pick some vegetables and wash them."

"I'll go now." Chunhua went out the door.

Guan Nianyun rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll go wash the pot."

The head of the village turned around and went out to greet the adults.

Dabei walked up to Fang Dashi and whispered, "Brother, should we poison the tea?"

Fang Dashi shook his head: "The Jinyiwei are not ordinary yamen runners. If we poison them, they might find out right away, which would expose our identities."

"Then I'll see if I can get some information out of them while I pour the tea."

Fang Dashi nodded.

Dabei left with the teapot.

Captain Liang saw Dabei from the corner of his eye. He pretended to whisper to Captain Su next to him, "It's still five hundred miles from here to Fangcheng. We can get there in two more days."

Su Wubai was stunned for a moment, then he noticed Dabei's figure behind him and understood Liang Baihu's intention. He nodded and said, "Once we send the girl to Fangcheng, we will be relieved."

After saying this, he kept apologizing in his heart.

Mu Nanjin, I'm sorry.

You are a girl, they will definitely not doubt your identity.

The most important thing is that Mu Nanjin’s martial arts skills are so high that no one can hurt her.

Otherwise, Su Wubaihu would not have done this.

When Dabei heard this, his eyes sparkled and he said with a smile, "Sir, the tea is here. I will pour some tea for you."

Yang Bo first scalded the cup and then filled it with water for Mu Nanjin to drink.

Xu Cheng joked: "You are really careful."

"It's my duty to serve a girl, girl, don't you think so?"

Mu Nanjin nodded.

[It's comfortable to have someone waiting on you when you go out. 】

[Why haven't the centurions taken action yet? Are they waiting for the people of Fang Dashi to arrive? ]

[This is good, we don't have to go around catching people. ]

Dabei poured tea for everyone and returned to the house.

Fang Dashi asked quietly, "Did you hear anything?"

Dabei said, "I heard from two centurions that they were going to send a girl to Fangcheng."

"Does that mean that little girl will be their main target of protection?"

Dabei nodded.

"I see. I'll go get some help."

Fang Dashi called a large group of brothers to help cook.

Captain Liang quietly counted the number of people and found that about twenty of them were from Fang Dashi's group, which meant that there were still thirty people who had not arrived.

He winked at Captain Su Wu and the others.

Captain Su Wu stood up and asked, "Village Chief, where is your toilet?"

The village head pointed to the woods behind his compound and said, "I put a bucket in the woods. Adults can use the toilet there."

Captain Su Wu asked, "Who wants to go to the toilet with me?"

The five hundred households said, "I."

"Let's go, then."

The five hundred households got up and left.

Liu Qian asked Mu Nanjin: "Miss, do you want to relieve yourself?"

Yang Bo said angrily: "How dare you, a man, ask this to a girl?"

Liu Qian scratched his head in embarrassment: "The girl is the only woman here, I was worried that she would be embarrassed to speak, so I asked her."

Mu Nanjin shook his head: "I don't need it, if you want to go, go by yourselves."

Liu Qian said, "Then I'll go."

Xu Cheng stood up worriedly: "I'll go with him."

Then, he heard Mu Nanjin's voice in his ears.

〖Be careful, the old people and children here are not good people either.〗

Xu Cheng nodded and left.
