The scouts who climbed up from the steep cliffs cleared out the checkpoints on Mount Zanhuang, and the Yongning Army at the foot of the mountain crushed them like an army descending from the sky.

Without the warning of the checkpoint and the advantage of terrain occupation, dozens of bandits were no match for the officers and soldiers, and the entire village was wiped out in a moment.

The dead bandits were piled together, and the living ones were driven to squat on the ground. The hall where they had just been having fun was already half burned down by fire, illuminating the whole area.

There was a dull thud, and the hung-up Big Tooth let out a howl, and his naked body was torn into pieces by the sensation of fire licking his flesh.

"Speak quickly!" the general shouted, raising the whip in his hand again.

Big Teeth wished he could die immediately.

"Master Peng, I've already told you." He said with tears streaming down his face, "We only did it a few times. I plan to do it again tomorrow. I haven't done it yet..."

Before he finished speaking, the whip in the general's hand came down again with a snap, and Big Tooth screamed miserably and almost fainted.

"Stop pretending to be ignorant," the general scolded.

Some soldiers approached hurriedly.

"No, sir," he said.

Big Teeth heard these words in a daze, and then another whip came down, and he immediately became alert from the pain.

"Where?" the general shouted.

These officers and soldiers often have insufficient military funds, and now the situation is tense, so are they here to steal his stored food?

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why they were so full that they ignored the gold thieves and came to attack his small stronghold at night, and even mobilized so many troops.

"Master Peng," Big Teeth cried, "Money, food, wine, and cloth are all hidden in the back mountain. I only have so much. This year is not good, so I can't grab anything good..."

Before he finished speaking, the general raised his hand and whipped him again.

"Stop playing dumb!" he cursed.

Big Teeth howled like a ghost.

The general cracked his whip twice to vent his anger, then turned around and saw Lei Zhonglian and Jin Shiba standing nearby. Looking at the two people enjoying the scenery in the mountains, he became angry again.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Master Lei, it's very dark that night. Why don't you guys help look for it together?" he said.

Lei Zhonglian glanced at Jin Shiba.

"Okay," he said, and turned away.

In addition to his men, Jin Shiba and others naturally followed. Just like before, they kept their eyes on each other.

Seeing them leave, the general smiled coldly and looked at Big Teeth.

Collusion?

Even if you two are like a group of colluding iron barrels, I will still pry open your mouth.

"Put him down." the general shouted coldly.

The soldiers immediately stepped forward and put Big Tooth down. Before Big Tooth could even rejoice, he was picked up by the general.

"Tell me where the person is," he said through gritted teeth, taking a small curved knife handed to him by a soldier, "or I will peel off your skin."

The curved knife flashed coldly in the firelight and touched Big Tooth's scalp.

I heard that these officers and soldiers have a hobby of catching gold thieves and skinning them, and they don’t die even after skinning them…

Big Teeth felt as if his skin had been peeled off and his whole body was paralyzed.

What? What on earth do you want him to say? This is killing me!

…

It really is killing me.

In order to kill these bandits, they even risked the lives of officers and soldiers by climbing the steep cliffs at night.

Looking at the dark cliff, Jin Shiba stopped. The noisy torches around him made him feel a little uneasy.

But this is…not right.

No, this is not right.

He turned around suddenly and saw Lei Zhonglian standing behind him as expected.

"I'll ask you again, where is Miss Jun?" he said sternly.

Lei Zhonglian looked at him.

"I want to ask you this, too." He said, "I know you Jinyiwei are fearless, but I dare to tell you that for Miss Jun, there are people who dare to poke holes in the sky."

Jin Shiba did not sneer as before, but stared at him with a pair of cold eyes.

"I'm going to tell you something you may not believe," he said, "Although I was ordered to arrest Miss Jun, if anything happened to her, I would definitely not survive."

In other words, the Imperial Guard will not harm Miss Jun?

That Lu Qianhu... is said to be determined to get Miss Jun, and of course he wants her alive.

Lei Zhonglian's expression changed for a moment.

"I know Miss Jun is very powerful, but this is the North, which is different from Yangcheng, Runan, and even the capital. It is very dangerous to travel alone here." Jin Shiba said, "I just want to capture Miss Jun, not her life. I can even say that the order I received from Lu Qianhu is that her life is more important than anyone else's life."

"What do you mean by that?" Lei Zhonglian said hoarsely, "Is it meaningful to pretend to be so righteous after you have captured someone?"

Jin Shiba stretched out his hand and grabbed Lei Zhonglian. The Fang family's bodyguards and four Jinyiwei surrounded them, and the two sides fell into a standoff again.

"I told you." Jin Shiba did not take action, but shouted, "We didn't arrest her, so where did you let her go alone?"

You said you didn't catch him, so you didn't catch him? Lei Zhonglian looked at him, but the words came to his lips but he didn't say them.

"I've also told you, we didn't let her go alone." He also shouted, "Don't underestimate Miss Jun, she's not that reckless. When did you capture her?"

The two looked at each other fiercely, their expressions slowly froze, and suddenly they turned around and ran down the mountain at the same time.

The Jinyiwei who were still in the confrontation and guarding the escort were stunned for a moment, then they came to their senses and hurriedly followed.

In front of the main hall of the village, Big Teeth's screams, with his hands covering his ears, could be heard from far away.

"Mr. Peng, I really didn't. I don't even know who Miss Jun is!" He lay on the ground, covering his face with blood all over his body, crying, "How could I kidnap her?"

The general put his foot on his shoulder and shook a piece of paper.

"Stop pretending, do you think I can't recognize your handwriting?" he shouted.

Big Teeth was crying so hard that he was out of breath.

"Master Peng, if I really kidnapped Miss Jun, I would not give the letter to you and seek death. I would only give it to Miss Jun's subordinates." He shouted.

That seems to be the case.

The general was stunned. Compared to others, Miss Jun's family probably cared about Miss Jun more.

But... just as he was about to say something, Jin Shiba snatched the letter away, elbowed him away, and stepped on Big Teeth.

The move was so quick and efficient that the generals didn't have time to react and had already taken several steps back and were squeezed away.

What great kung fu! He stared at the man with eyes wide open, then narrowed them again. Of course, anyone who dares to harm the master must have some skills.

He immediately stepped forward, wondering if he wanted to kill her to silence her.

Jin Shiba had already hooked up his big teeth with one foot and pressed the letter against his face.

"Who are your enemies?" he asked.

Enemy?

The general was stunned for a moment, while Lei Zhonglian seemed to be thinking about something.

"Enemy, I have so many enemies, the people around here..." Big Teeth shouted hurriedly as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope.

He was interrupted by Jin Shiba before he could finish his words.

"The enemies who can contend with you are not the common people," he said calmly, "but those who have accumulated grudges against you or have had recent conflicts with you."

Big Teeth was stunned for a moment, but finally reacted.

"I said it shouldn't be like this. How could the soldiers have so much free time to specifically suppress me? It turns out that I was framed." He said, his eyes wide open, his face pale and his whole body trembling. "I know, it must be those thieves who did it!"

Lei Zhonglian felt his heart tighten.

"Which bunch of thieves?" he shouted.

…

"Those thieves are dead this time."

Along with the voices, there was a burst of laughter.

The light in Miss Jun's sight gradually brightened.

It's almost dawn. These people have been walking all night. Now they are finally reunited with their own people, right?

Just now, the sound of a strange man's laughter and footsteps could be heard outside.

"Mr. Tian, ​​how is it?" they asked in a confused manner.

"No problem, the goods were delivered safely." The man here replied with a smile.

It was obvious that she was the target. Miss Jun smiled and their conversation continued. The man called Lao Tian even explained how to do it, without any hesitation about Miss Jun who was lying in the car.

When they heard Lao Tian say that he had sent a kidnapping letter pretending to be from Big Teeth to the officers and soldiers, the group burst into laughter.

"That's what we should do. It can be considered as our annihilation of the bandits in Zanhuang Mountain. It's what we as officers and soldiers should do." Someone said loudly.

Officers and soldiers.

I originally thought that the man was just joking, but now it seems that everyone here is really good at joking.

A thought flashed through Miss Jun's mind, and the green grass covering her body was blown away, and the morning light suddenly poured in.

Miss Jun couldn't help but close her eyes, and then slowly opened them.
