The bandits held their torches and stopped, all of them with a look of success on their faces.
"Brother, you are really smart. Just drive them to the top of the hill, and we can get rid of them without any effort."
"Of course, our eldest brother is awesome. Those officials must be feeling lucky or laughing at us for not being able to catch up with them, right? Oh ha ha ha, little do they know that there is a big surprise waiting for them ahead."
"That's right. It just so happens that the little darlings in the mountains are all hungry. I'm afraid they haven't had a change of taste for a long time. I can't wait to hear their screams. The officers who dared to break into our Black Wind Village last time seemed to have been buried there."
"Alright, alright, you guys stay here and kill any of them who escape. I'm going to go back and rest first."
"Brother, please go back quickly. We will take care of this place. We will definitely not let you down!"
......
At this time, Meng Liang and other officials still did not know the hidden dangers on this hilltop.
"Huh~Huh~ They're not chasing us, are they?"
The officers held their knees with their hands, breathing heavily. They turned their heads and looked back, "They really didn't catch up."
Upon hearing this, all the officials collapsed on the ground and fanned themselves with their hands. "I'm almost dying of exhaustion, you damned bandit!"
"That's right. It's really hard to live. This time's road to exile is much more bumpy than before. I wanted to make some money, but I almost lost my life. I don't know if we have offended some gods!"
"Who says it's not?"
"Hey! I hope everything goes smoothly from now on."
Meng Liang's face was livid, and his head was about to explode. After a long pause, he sent the black-faced official to check the number of remaining officials.
The black-faced official took the order and left. After a while, he walked back to Meng Liang with a stern face. His expression was also very bad. "Sir, we still have brothers left... still have brothers left,"
"How much is left? Tell me quickly!" Meng Liang said with a gloomy face and an impatient look.
"There are thirty-seven people left, and a total of eleven people were killed!" The black-faced officer closed his eyes tightly and gave the specific number.
Meng Liang clenched his teeth so hard that his cheeks were sunken.
The dark-faced officer opened his eyes and asked anxiously, "Sir, what should we do now? Should we turn back? We have lost so many officers now."
Meng Liang rubbed his temples and frowned tightly. "Turn around? How do I turn around? There are wolves in front and tigers behind. How do I turn around? Tell me!"
Before he finished speaking, a terrifying wolf howl suddenly came from the front.
“Ouch~~~”
Then, the ground began to shake violently, as if a pack of ferocious wolves were galloping towards this side.
The officers were so terrified that their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.
The howling of the wolves was getting closer, and they could clearly see countless pairs of eyes flashing with eerie green light.
The officers struggled to get up from the ground and fled in all directions.
But how could their speed match that of the wolves? Soon, some of the officials became the wolves' meal.
The black-faced official and Meng Liang fled together. Suddenly, a wolf jumped out from the bushes and pounced on Meng Liang.
Without thinking, Meng Liang grabbed the black-faced official next to him and stood in front of him.
“Ahhhh!” screams echoed throughout the entire mountain.
......
"Yawn~" Feng Jiuyan covered her mouth and yawned delicately. She almost fell asleep sitting on the big tree branch, but she still couldn't see Meng Liang.
"Casual guy! I've been waiting for half a day and he still hasn't climbed up. Tsk." Feng Jiuyan cursed softly.
Meng Liang couldn't get to the top of the mountain for such a long time, and Feng Jiuyan could roughly guess that there was something wrong with the map provided by Chen Shouren.
It seems that there are many hidden dangers in this Black Wind Village.
Feng Jiuyan decided not to wait for Meng Liang and other officials to explore the way. She just needed to be more cautious.
So she flashed into the space and found a secluded corner to exit the space.
She had just observed from the tree for a while and had mastered the time nodes of the bandits' patrols. With this information, she easily avoided the patrols of the bandits and the inspections of the watchtower.
Soon, she followed the map route she remembered and successfully found the courtyard of Chen Shoucai, the leader of the Black Wind Village.
Chen Shoucai's courtyard is located in the core area of Black Wind Village and is extremely large. His residence is no less impressive than the residences of second-rank officials in the capital, covering a wide area and looking magnificent.
Feng Jiuyan cleverly avoided a patrol team, lightly climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
She was completely stunned by the scene before her.
The courtyard is deep, with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner. The houses have carved beams and painted buildings, and the corridors are winding. The courtyard is quiet, with winding paths, and the bluestone-paved paths meander through it, leading to exquisite pavilions.
Feng Jiuyan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, secretly admiring the luxury and magnificence of Chen Shoucai's residence.
If this was built at the foot of the mountain, Feng Jiuyan would not be so shocked. But this was built on the top of the mountain. How much manpower and material resources would it take to complete it?
Chen Shoucai is very rich, this thought flashed through Feng Jiuyan’s mind.
Outside the courtyard, the defense was tight, but in the courtyard, there were no patrolling bandits.
Feng Jiuyan figured it out after a little thought. Black Wind Village was in such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack position, with layers of defense set up halfway up the mountain. Chen Shoucai would never have thought that someone could break into Black Wind Village.
She walked openly on the bluestone road leading to the yard. Wherever she went, everything that could be moved or taken away was collected into her space.
She took all the precious flowers and potted plants, and even sawed off the gold inlaid on the pillars.
Wherever he went, nothing was left behind.
Feng Jiuyan walked to the fish pond and found that the water in the pond was all drawn from mountain springs.
Chen Shouren is very down-to-earth and the fish he raises are all edible.
She unceremoniously collected all the fish in the fish pond into the pond in the space.
After pulling out everything in the garden, we finally walked to the main courtyard.
At this time, the main courtyard was brightly lit.
"Beauty, here I come~~"
Hey, Feng Jiuyan was so disgusted that he got goosebumps.
"You, don't come over here, or I will," the young woman's voice.
"What did you say? Haha, I've seen a lot of women like you. When you get a taste of the sweetness, you won't say that anymore. Hehehe~~"
Another scene of a domineering man forcing himself on her. Feng Jiuyan was annoyed. She encountered this kind of thing every time.
Feng Jiuyan climbed over another wall and slowly approached the main house.
Feng Jiuyan wet his fingers and poked open the window paper. He leaned over to take a look and saw the situation inside clearly.
