The government quickly learned about the kidnapping of the girl by bandits, and the officials were furious; they were practically consumed by rage.
So they immediately issued an ultimatum, demanding that the bandits in the vicinity be wiped out completely, so that the people could have a peaceful place. After having this idea, people soon began to take action.
The government also sent people down specifically to deal with the bandit suppression. Gu Guoquan went to pick them up. The person who came was a man in his thirties. When he looked at Gu Guoquan, he said, "Young Gu, your efforts in suppressing bandits are not strong enough. You should know that the higher-ups are very angry. They are extremely annoyed by your slow pace in the capital..."
“I know about what Old Zhang is doing, but I also have my own difficulties. There are many bandits in this area, especially in the mountains of Qishan'ao. The terrain is treacherous and difficult to navigate. Rushing in will only result in casualties among our soldiers.”
“I know what you mean, but you have to understand that the human trafficking has occurred because your efforts to suppress bandits were insufficient. Although you rescued many women this time, don’t forget that you only rescued one. Doesn’t that mean that countless women have already been trafficked abroad?” Old Zhang’s expression was stern as he looked at Gu Guoquan.
Upon hearing this, Gu Guoquan fell silent. He understood that Lao Zhang was right. "I know, I will complete the mission as soon as possible."
"Don't be too eager for quick success in this matter." Old Zhang looked at Gu Guoquan, worried that his words might make Gu Guoquan too eager for quick success, and if something went wrong, it would be very troublesome.
So he said, "By the way, are there any villagers familiar with the mountains? If so, we can ask one to show us the way." He looked at Gu Guoquan and said this. Gu Guoquan looked at Old Zhang upon hearing this.
“There is a person named Ji Huangquan…” Gu Guoquan said after hearing this, “He has been on the front line in these missions.”
"Oh, you mean Ji Huangquan? I know he's got quite a few merits recorded on that list." Although he's not a soldier, he's received many merits, and not only that, there are people above him who have specifically asked him to take care of him.
Ji Huangquan made great contributions during the flood and in other situations. Even if the other party was an ordinary person, the credit is credit. Regardless of their background, it should belong to Ji Huangquan.
Upon hearing this, Gu Guoquan nodded. "Then find a way to get Ji Huangquan to come over so we can discuss some matters regarding entering the mountains," Old Zhang said, looking at Gu Guoquan.
Gu Guoquan nodded when he heard this. Ji Huangquan and Feng Biluo were quite busy with the rice. Feng Biluo had started researching rice again because of the excellent rice that had appeared last time. This time, Feng Biluo was going to work, and the villagers were incredibly enthusiastic.
Everyone was eager to prepare things for Feng Biluo. When there was no water in the fields, someone immediately went to irrigate them. Whenever there was anything in the fields, someone would help. Under such circumstances, it has to be said that Feng Biluo's life was not bad at all.
While Feng Biluo was doing well, Ji Huangquan was also busy. Unexpectedly, Gu Guoquan came to see Ji Huangquan again. When Feng Biluo looked at Gu Guoquan and asked Ji Huangquan, she said, "He's not your soldier. Why are you coming to see him every few days? Isn't that a bit too much?"
Feng Biluo became a little unhappy. She came to see Ji Huangquan every few days, as if he were a convenient robot. When Gu Guoquan heard this, he also felt a little ashamed.
Just as Feng Biluo said, it seems that I really do come to Ji Huangquan for a lot of things. "It's not that I can't help it. By the way, I'm getting married tomorrow. You and Ji Huangquan must come to the wedding banquet."
In the end, she didn't go to find Ji Huangquan. Anyway, Ji Huangquan would be attending her wedding tomorrow, so she could just tell Ji Huangquan then. So, at this time, Gu Guoquan left after speaking. Feng Bilu rolled up her trousers and went ashore. As she watched him leave, she shook her head.
"Mom, look what I caught!" Feng Fuya ran over with a dragonfly in her hand. Feng Biluo looked at it and ruffled Feng Fuya's hair. "Little Fuya is so good."
Feng Biluo took Feng Fuya's hand and led her home. After bringing Feng Fuya home, Feng Biluo looked around and saw that many people in the village looked worried.
Feng Biluo went directly to inquire, "Has something happened?" Feng Biluo asked when she saw Village Chief Feng. Village Chief Feng looked at Feng Biluo upon hearing this.
"This isn't just about the bandits. The area around Xia Shui Wan was recently flooded. This year's harvest should have been a good thing, helping to alleviate the crisis, but unexpectedly... the bandits started robbing people right at this critical moment, making the people of Xia Shui Wan almost want to hang themselves."
Village Chief Feng told Feng Biluo what had happened. He was furious as he spoke. Those people were bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. There were many strong young men on this side, so the bandits didn't dare to come.
They went to bully the old, weak, sick, and disabled in Xia Shui Wan. Because there was no food on that side of Xia Shui Wan, the young people were all skin and bones. Under such circumstances, they were directly robbed. Although the local soldiers went to search, they couldn't catch anyone. It was infuriating.
When Feng Biluo heard this, she couldn't help but frown. When Feng Biluo returned, Ji Huangquan looked at her and asked, "Why do you look so preoccupied?" Feng Biluo looked at Ji Huangquan upon hearing this.
“I think the bandits have been appearing too frequently these days. Also, how do these bandits know that the soldiers aren’t nearby?” Feng Biluo noticed a problem. At the beginning, Qishan’ao was also robbed.
