"Fellow villagers, we are here to thank you."

"Thank you for your contribution in suppressing the bandits."

"Thank you for saving Miss Jun."

The man next to Miss Jun shouted, and every time he shouted, the soldiers behind him repeated it in unison.

The loud shouts echoed between heaven and earth.

Although the voices were loud, every soldier looked a little dazed.

General Peng, who was walking in the middle of the team, looked confused and a little embarrassed.

"You know how I feel right now?" he said. "I feel like a hairless chicken."

The deputy general beside him couldn't help but burst out laughing, and quickly restrained himself.

In fact, his expression was not much better. Compared with General Peng's shame, he was more uneasy.

"Your Excellency is right. It would be fine if he didn't fight me, but how could he come in?" He whispered, looking around with a wary expression.

"What do you mean by mountain people? Honest people." General Peng snorted, "Which honest mountain people have such a powerful horse rope and heavy arrows? We are not armed at all. If we just walk in, won't we be slaughtered?"

The deputy general looked at the girl walking in front, and the people surrounding her also took off their weapons.

"They don't try to persuade Miss Jun either." He whispered, "Girls are easily soft-hearted. Once they are coaxed a few words, they will think everyone in the world is a good person."

In their view, these mountain bandits were naturally frightened by the arrival of the soldiers, so they deceived Miss Jun to make a big thing small.

"She said that she was indeed kidnapped by bandits, but was rescued by the villagers of Zhangqing Mountain. It was a misunderstanding. Even a child wouldn't believe such a thing." The deputy general continued in a low voice, frowning again. "But what should I say? Is she stupid or are the bandits stupid?"

In any case, Miss Jun was released. These words could comfort Miss Jun, but they could never comfort the soldiers. How could they be so sure that the soldiers would not attack them? After all, Miss Jun was safe.

If you want to negotiate, you must have hostages first. Without hostages, who would care? Just kill them first.

General Peng snorted.

"She's not stupid, and the brigands aren't stupid either. We are stupid," he said.

Yes, that's stupid enough.

The deputy general listened to the continued shouting all around and looked around carefully again.

They are now like a group of sheep, surrounded by tigers and wolves.

Why did you listen to this girl and actually take off your weapons and come in?

If something went wrong, their Yongning Army would become a laughing stock that would be passed down through the ages.

"Is it okay to disobey?" General Peng said, looking at the group of people in front of him. Although the Xiuchun sword had been removed, the Feiyu suit still made people feel uneasy.

If you are obedient and foolish, you will become a lamb to be slaughtered and may lose your life. If you disobey and offend this group of people, you will also lose your life.

Compared to the Golden Guard, he felt that the mountain bandits might be more friendly.

They quickly reached the mountain village in fear and trepidation. They were not ambushed along the way, and the village in front of them was quiet. There were even cows grazing by the roadside, wagging their tails.

However, General Peng still looked nervous.

How many people are there in this mountain village? And how many people can be hidden in the mountains over there?

"Okay." Miss Jun jumped off her horse and walked over. "Master Peng, you can rest assured. Everything is fine."

General Peng said "oh", whether it was a problem or not. In fact, everyone knew it in their hearts. If they kept pretending to be stupid, he really didn't know what to say.

"You guys can go back now. I'm sorry for disturbing you this time. I didn't send you the news in time, and you all worried." Miss Jun continued, "The people from Deshengchang will explain to the prefect and the people."

go back?

General Peng was stunned.

"Miss Jun, aren't you going back?" he asked hurriedly.

Miss Jun shook her head.

"I've agreed with you before that I won't go to Zhending Prefecture for the time being and will just walk around here," she said.

This was the explanation for why she and General Peng's soldiers had previously parted ways.

But at this time, these mountain thieves...

"No, they are just mountain people." Miss Jun said again, "Master Peng, you really don't have to worry."

General Peng was about to say something, but Jin Shiba coughed lightly.

"Yes." General Peng said immediately, "In that case, we will take our leave first. Miss Jun, please let me know if you need anything."

Miss Jun smiled and said yes, then bowed and thanked him again.

General Peng led his men away with a complicated expression, and the people from Deshengchang followed. They will explain the incident to the people according to Miss Jun's instructions.

…

After walking out of the mountain road and reaching a flat area, General Peng breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeves.

It was really embarrassing. He had been in the army for so long and had seen all kinds of dangerous battles, but he didn't expect that he would be so nervous just because he was walking on a mountain road and there was no enemy in sight.

The main reason is that this matter is too unbelievable.

Zhang Qingshan, the mountain people, General Peng looked back, and I remember it.

He waved his hand, and the soldiers put on their weapons again and went away.

Only at this point did Xia Yong and the others who were watching from the nearby hilltop finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as General Peng was suspicious and cautious, they were also wary that this was a trap. Miss Jun deliberately showed her goodwill to make them relax their vigilance, and then she would lead the officers and soldiers into the mountain village, and when they came out, she would catch them all in one fell swoop.

But this did not happen now, and hundreds of officers and soldiers left in a hurry.

He really left.

Xia Yong frowned as he watched the officers and soldiers gradually disappear from his sight.

What is going on?

Miss Jun had clearly escaped, but she caused this trouble again. What did she want to do?

Leaving the scouts on guard, Xia Yong returned to the mountain village. Everyone was still in ambush, but compared to their previous alertness, their expressions were a little dazed.

All eyes were looking towards the village entrance, where a group of people were standing.

"Hey, Captain Xia, Sister Xia, please come out quickly. I have already explained it to them." Miss Jun said, "They have already left."

Besides being surprised by what she said, they were even more surprised by the way she looked at them.

"Okay, go out, don't hide anymore." The woman standing behind Yang Jing said, "People know we are hiding here, and if they really want to make things difficult for us, it will be easy."

Xia Yong and others looked at each other.

Yes, considering that she could escape from here so easily, it would be too easy for her to deal with them.

After hearing a few sharp bird calls, Jin Shiba and Lei Zhonglian saw people jumping down from all directions, even from the big tree behind them.

I was more surprised by their appearance than by their hidden secrets.

Jin Shiba uttered a sigh.

"They really are mountain people," he said, looking at these ragged men and women of all ages.

Xia Yong took a step forward.

"Miss Jun, what do you want?" he asked in a deep voice.

Miss Jun also took a step forward.

"I want you..." she said, and suddenly turned around and pointed at Jin Shiba, "Catch all these Jinyiwei."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Jin Shiba and others suddenly changed. Lei Zhonglian shouted and leaped forward.

This was such a sudden change that the already confused mountain villagers who had just come out were even more stunned.

Who are these people in cahoots with?
