"Boss, why don't we send someone down the mountain to investigate? The news over there is always accurate, so it shouldn't be wrong! And this time is different from the past. They think that apart from that Han guy, no one else can send us false news, otherwise they will suffer."

"Then let's go down the mountain and investigate. Be careful. It is said that the guy named Han is not an easy person to deal with. He is very cunning. Don't fall into his trap." The boss gave a worried warning. He always felt uneasy and uneasy in his heart, afraid that something might happen.

Han Yu deliberately set up camp outside the mountain just to let the bandits in the mountain stronghold see it, and the defense was also lax, making it look like they were just doing their job in a disorganized manner.

Seeing this, the spy sent by the bandits thought that no one would discover him, so he moved closer and heard the conversation between the two soldiers.

"Lord Han, is this really okay? How can we report to our superiors if we just do things perfunctorily? And he left a few of us here to guard the camp while he took his men away to have fun. It's too unfair!"

"What's so unfair about this? It's because we are not Lord Han's confidants that we have no choice but to stay here and do the hard work! Besides, it's Lord Han's job to complete the task. Why should we worry about it? It would be better if we can just pretend and not have to fight the bandits. Who would want to fight the bandits in this winter? It won't do us any good. Lord, this is what we call being open-minded. Even if the higher-ups blame us, they will just scold us and demote us by one level at most. With Lord Han's ability to flatter others, he will be promoted soon. There's no need to risk his life. If he loses his life, he will lose everything!"

"That's true. It's so cold, the bandits probably won't come down. Let's go into the tent and sleep. Anyway, they went out to have fun and won't come back so soon. Who knows what we did." After the soldier finished speaking, he rubbed his hands, and the two of them returned to the tent together.

The spy laughed when he heard this. So that's what he said. He said that there was no movement when the soldiers came to suppress the bandits. It turned out that they met a cowardly official who was greedy for life and afraid of death. He was trying to deceive his superiors and hide the truth from his subordinates. If such a person went to the battlefield, he would be a deserter, and it would not be unfair for him to be killed by their boss.

"How is it? Have you found out any news?" The boss was feeling uneasy. When he saw the spy he sent out came back, he immediately asked questions.

The spy reported what he saw at the foot of the mountain one by one. After hearing it, the boss's expression eased a little, but he was still not very reassured. The legal advisor was as worried as the boss.

"Is that true? Could it be that Han is deliberately setting up a trap to confuse us?"

"That shouldn't be the case. I was very careful and didn't let them find me. There were few people around the tent, and I didn't see Lord Han. To be on the safe side, I stayed nearby for quite a while. At noon, I only cooked one pot, which was enough for more than ten people. Even if they hid in the tent and didn't come out, they still had to eat."

"What you said does make sense, but that person wrote to us saying that the man surnamed Han is very cunning, so we'd better be careful. If he really is that cowardly and corrupt official, it would save us a lot of trouble and we could just let them fight each other." The boss said unhappily. Obviously, he didn't have a good impression of the man who cooperated with their village. He only cooperated with him because he had no choice but to do so for the survival of the village.

"What the boss said makes sense. Let them fight each other. There are few good people among the officials anyway. I thought Han was a man who came to suppress the bandits. It would be a pity to kill him. Now it seems that they are all birds of a feather. None of them is good."

"You can't be so sure. Let's wait and see!" The lawyer was still not completely reassured, so he went to the village to make some arrangements.

The bandits sent spies, and Han Yu soon got the news. Things were going according to his plan, but Han Yu did not dare to take it lightly. He also knew that the leader and the master of the stronghold were both smart and cautious people, and he must not be careless when dealing with such people.

"How is it? What's going on in the village?"

"Sir, it's just as you expected. The boss and the master don't completely believe this and are still skeptical. The village has tightened its security and it's not easy to get the news out." Liu Cong's face was a little worried, no longer his usual carefree look.

"This is expected. All we can do now is wait for the right opportunity. We have to be patient before this happens." Han Yu had expected that things would not be so easy.

After a few days passed, the bandits saw that Han Yu was still camping at the foot of the mountain and had no intention of attacking, so they relaxed a little.

Su Wenyue became more and more worried. Several days had passed, and there was still no news from Han Yu. She didn't know whether things were going smoothly or not.

The children didn't know if they could understand Su Wenyue's feelings, but they were particularly attached to her, especially the eldest Xing Ge'er. Since the day Su Wenyue came back from Li's house, he changed his previous "calm and aloof" attitude and would touch Su Wenyue with his little hands from time to time. Su Wenyue inexplicably felt that there was some comfort in it. Now Su Wenyue didn't deliberately explore whether Xing Ge'er was the Xing Ge'er in her previous life. It didn't seem to matter whether he was or not, because they were all her children.

"Xing Ge'er is such a sensible child." Su Wenyue touched Xing Ge'er's little face, and Xing Ge'er grinned at Su Wenyue. Looking at the three children, Su Wenyue's confusion and worries dissipated a lot, and her heart became much calmer.

In the middle of the night, Su Wenyue was suddenly awakened by a loud thunder. The thunder was so loud that she was afraid of scaring the three children, so she hurriedly put on an outer coat and walked towards the children's room. The nanny also got up at this time to look after the three children.

Su Wenyue was relieved that she didn't hear the little guy crying. Children can't stand being frightened. Since he didn't cry, he probably wasn't frightened.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Su Wenyue was no longer sleepy at this time. The thunder was still roaring outside, so she simply stayed with the three little ones. When she was about to check whether their quilts were covered properly, she saw Xingger staring at her with a pair of big round, dark eyes. When she looked over, Xingger smiled, obviously happy to see Su Wenyue coming over.

"Our Xing'er has woken up too. He's such a good boy. He must have been awakened by the thunder. Don't be afraid, mother is with you." Su Wenyue said as she touched Xing'er's forehead, and Xing'er smiled even more happily.

The mother and son were interacting warmly in the room, but outside there were lightning and thunder. Soon it began to rain heavily. It rained heavily all night without stopping. The next day, the ditch outside was full of water. Su Wenyue looked more and more worried. Such weather was undoubtedly making things worse for Han Yu and the others.
