Pei Yun was stunned. Five men and two women, civilians? After asking, Wang Xuan responded immediately.
"They are not common people, but officials. The two women are dressed like they belong to wealthy families."
Pei Yun frowned. The police actually dared to come to the mountain. Weren’t the previous lessons enough?
"Keep an eye on them and see what they want to do?"
After Pei Yun gave the order, he didn't take it to heart anymore. The officer posed no threat to him at all.
What's more, there were only five of them. What were five soldiers doing with two women?
Could it be that he wanted to do something bad in this remote place?
Or is it that the two women are treated as vegetables?
The two women were naturally Xue Qianqian and Liu Yiyi. After reaching an agreement, the two women set off on the same day without any delay.
The five officers following behind were there to escort them so that they wouldn't encounter barbarians on the road. Fortunately, they were relatively safe along the way.
Zhang Kui was a little scared, as he still remembered clearly the scene where he led the officials to attack the village but was killed in the end.
Originally, they thought that these bandits could only fight against them, and they would have to kneel when the government soldiers came.
Who knew that the encirclement and suppression by the government soldiers also failed? This made Zhang Kui feel that these bandits were really awesome.
In all his years as a police chief, he had never encountered such a bandit who dared to kidnap the county magistrate's daughter and defeat the government soldiers.
When Zhang Kui heard that the bandits had defeated even the barbarians, he was even more shocked. This was no longer something that could be described as awesome; it was simply against the will of heaven.
Those were the barbarians who couldn't even defeat the border troops, yet they were defeated by Yiyun Village. Are these bandits so powerful?
Why would you be a bandit when you are so capable? Wouldn't it be more promising to join the army than to be a bandit?
He didn't want to come originally. After all, if they recognized that he had led the attack on the mountain stronghold, he didn't know whether the bandits would let him go.
However, Xue Wenju specifically asked him to bring people to escort Xue Qianqian to the mountain, so Zhang Kui had no choice but to agree.
Unlike Zhang Kui who was nervous, Xue Qianqian was a little excited. She was finally back after being away from the mountain for more than half a year. Did Brother Pei still remember me?
He went to the county town to assassinate Pei Feng, but he never came to see me. I wonder if he has forgotten me.
Brother Pei, do you know how much I miss you?
Thinking of you in the dark nights, thinking of your face, I can't sleep alone.
You were thinking about me in your heart, right? You assassinated Pei Feng to prevent me from marrying him, and you captured Zhang Zeshan to prevent me from marrying him. I know everything you did.
I originally thought that I might never see you again in this life, but unexpectedly the barbarian soldiers came and gave me the opportunity.
Brother Pei, will you still be as nice to me as before?
As Xue Qianqian imagined this, she felt a little lost.
Liu Yiyi, who was walking beside her, was a little nervous. She already knew that it was Pei Yun who broke into her boudoir that night.
In fact, she was also eager to see Pei Yun again, but she didn't know whether Pei Yun still remembered her. The reason she came along was not only to accompany Xue Qianqian.
She wanted to increase her bargaining chips more. If Xue Qianqian couldn't invite Pei Yun, she wondered if her presence would make Pei Yun consider something.
At this moment, the seven people had approached Yiyun Village. When they saw the tall wall, they were all stunned.
Zhang Kui and his five officers had all come to attack Yiyun Village. When they first came, wasn’t there a short wooden village wall?
Why has it become like this now?
Xue Qianqian was also a little dumbfounded, and even suspected that she had come to the wrong place. The previous Yiyun Village was not like this.
How could there be such high walls and watchtowers?
Although Liu Yiyi had never been here, she was also shocked. The wall of this mountain village was actually higher than the fortress. It was too exaggerated.
The construction of the fortress consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources. I heard from Xue Qianqian that Pei Yun seemed to be very short of money. How did he build such a high wall?
The seven people were stunned for a moment and decided to move forward to take a look.
But before they had taken a few steps, bandits rushed out of the village.
Zhang Kui and the other four were so frightened that they shuddered and hurriedly pulled out their knives, but their hands were shaking, and it was obvious that they were extremely scared.
Xue Qianqian was relatively calm. She looked at the bandits who had surrounded them and said, "I want to see your boss."
The bandit laughed and said, "Our boss is a god-like figure. You can't just meet him whenever you want."
"Tell me! What are you doing here?"
Xue Qianqian said: "I am an old acquaintance of your boss. Go and tell him that Xue Qianqian is visiting."
The expressions of several bandits changed slightly. Xue Qianqian, the daughter of the county magistrate?
They all knew this name. After all, he was a bandit near Ruifeng County, and they heard that the boss had once kidnapped the county magistrate's daughter.
One of the bandits took out a walkie-talkie and said, "Brother Wang, there is a woman here who said she is Xue Qianqian and is here to see the boss."
Soon Wang Xuan came over and Zhang Kui was shocked when he saw him.
“You…you are not…”
He had seen Wang Xuan selling masks in the county town before. How come he has turned into a bandit now?
When Wang Xuan saw Zhang Kui, he was convinced that this woman was Xue Qianqian, and said, "Miss Xue, come in with me. You stay outside."
"I want to go in too." Liu Yiyi said hurriedly.
Xue Qianqian said: "She is my sister, I will go in with her."
Wang Xuan nodded and took the two women into the mountain village.
As soon as she entered, Xue Qianqian's eyes widened. The village in front of her was so unfamiliar and completely different from her impression.
Not only is it bigger, but there are also more people. The ground is no longer made of dirt, but something else that is incredibly flat, and it feels even flatter than bluestone slabs.
