Niu Jiuhua tried her best to persuade and explain for a long time, and finally made Zhou Yang believe that he was Niu Jiuhua.
But there was no time to investigate at this time, as Xu Nianqing had already taken his men up the mountain.
Niu Jiuhua said anxiously, "What should we do now? We must go and inform Dad and the others."
Zhou Yang: "Hurry, we have to leave before them."
Seeing that the two men were really about to rush back to inform the authorities, Xiao Li was speechless.
"Even if you rush back, can the people of Tianhu Village defeat these soldiers?"
Niu Jiuhua immediately calmed down: "Senior sister, do you have any good ideas? Please help us."
Zhou Yang's face froze. Who wouldn't be horrified when he thought about there being a ghost around him that he couldn't see or touch?
Xiao Li actually had a solution: "Will you besiege Wei to save Zhao?"
Niu Jiuhua: "What does it mean to besiege Wei and save Zhao?"
She didn't know, but Xiao Li didn't want to tell her a story, so he said directly: "Xu Nianqing took away so many people from Kunyu County. Now the county's defense is very weak. The mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind. If you go and kidnap his father, won't he rush back to rescue them?"
Niu Jiuhua's legs went weak after hearing this, and she couldn't believe what she heard: "Kidnap...his father, the county magistrate..."
They were bandits who were against the government, but they only fought with the soldiers occasionally. Even if they could win, they would not dare to be too presumptuous, and if they couldn't win, they would run away quickly.
Like the day before yesterday, the officers and soldiers started killing as soon as they arrived, and they killed so many officers and soldiers in return. This has never happened before in history.
Although Niu Jiuhua had been out with Niu Tianhu and dealt with soldiers before, she wouldn't dare to kidnap the county magistrate even if she had the guts to do so.
Xiao Li couldn't help but tease her: "You dare to rape the county magistrate's son, so you don't dare to kidnap the county magistrate?"
Niu Jiuhua: “…” Senior sister knows too much.
"This...I didn't know he was the county magistrate's son at the time."
Zhou Yang couldn't hear what Xiao Li was saying, but he could roughly understand what they were saying from Niu Jiuhua's words.
"Kidnapping the County Magistrate might make him turn back, but what happens next? Can we keep him abducted? If they rescue him, they'll attack Tianhu Village again, even more furious, and will definitely kill us all."
Xiao Li: "Then don't let them know that it was someone from Tianhu Village who kidnapped you. Cover up your identities, kidnap the County Magistrate, and then flee all the way to the northeast. The farther you flee, the safer Tianhu Village will be."
In the end, as long as we find a place to kill Xu Shuangnian and replace the new county magistrate in Kunyu County, the current crisis will be resolved.
But she didn't say the latter part of this sentence. These two people don't even dare to kidnap people now, let alone kill people.
And even if a new county magistrate is appointed, Tianhu Village will still be a bandit den and the government will still wipe it out.
Unless there is an order from above to pacify Tianhu Village and allow the people of Tianhu Village to become ordinary citizens again, this matter will never come to an end.
Xiao Li is the emperor. Although she is not in the court, the system she establishes will definitely not include the protection of bandits.
It was only now that she accidentally came to this bandit camp and saw the situation inside the bandit camp. Also because the county magistrate was related to Xu Nianqing, he helped them deal with the officers and soldiers.
It is understandable that the bandits were forced to go up the mountain by the people, but it is also true that they robbed others.
Right and wrong are never absolute, but banditry is not the right path after all.
Niu Jiuhua and Zhou Yang discussed for a while, and finally decided to kidnap the county magistrate.
After all, it was the ghost Xiao Li who gave them the confidence. Even ghosts were helping them, so what was there to be afraid of just kidnapping a county magistrate?
Facts have proved that luck is more important than ability in achieving success.
Who would have thought that Xu Shuangnian would go out with only a servant, and relying on the fact that no one knew him, he walked around the street in a swaggering manner. Niu Jiuhua and Zhou Yang didn't have to exert any effort, they just picked him up and left.
The two men split into two groups. Niu Jiuhua took Xu Shuangnian away on horseback, while Zhou Yang stayed behind and waited for the officers and soldiers to return before going up the mountain to inform Xu Tianhu.
Niu Jiuhua led his men eastward and soon left Kunyu County.
They ran for two hours before they dared to stop. Niu Jiuhua looked at Xu Shuangnian, who had been knocked unconscious by the shaking, and couldn't believe that he had actually kidnapped the county magistrate.
"Senior sister, will this really work?"
Xiao Li: "Just look over there and you'll know if it's useful."
At the foot of the mountain, a group of people came galloping on horseback, raising a cloud of dust, and the leader was Xu Nianqing.
Niu Jiuhua's face turned pale with fear, and he quickly mounted his horse: "Go!"
In this era without navigation and even maps, Xiao Li could only rely on analysis to determine the direction and guide Niu Jiuhua to the direction where the King of Wei might appear.
Xiao Li was also angry. If it was her own body now, why would she have to suffer like this?
Now she could only ask Niu Jiuhua to go to King Wei quickly. Only Xiao Jingyi could save the people of Tianhu Village, and only Xiao Jingyi could take her back to the palace.
However, after only five hours of running, the horses and the people could not bear it anymore and had to stop to rest. Most importantly, it was almost dark and they had to find a place to spend the night.
"Miss, what grudge do I have against you? Why did you kidnap me?"
Xu Shuangnian woke up, and fortunately Niu Jiuhua had the foresight to tie him up.
Xiao Li had warned her not to mention Tianhu Village, otherwise it would cause trouble for his father and the others, but Niu Jiuhua really had no good excuse.
After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said, "I like your son. Can you marry him to me?"
Xu Shuangnian: “…”
Xiao Li: “…” Good job.
Xu Shuangnian almost laughed out of anger: "If you have your eyes on Qingyun, go find him. Now that you've kidnapped me, doesn't that mean you have no chance of being with him?"
One lie requires countless lies to cover it up. When Niu Jiuhua was feeling embarrassed, Xiao Li answered for her: "Say that the King of Wei owes you a favor. Bring him over and let the King of Wei officiate the wedding."
Niu Jiuhua: ...Senior sister, you're so bold! The King of Wei is a prince, a nobleman of the highest rank. How can you talk about their relationship so casually? This is really exaggerating.
But she couldn't find an excuse at the moment, so she had to bite the bullet and say it.
Xu Shuangnian really didn't expect such an answer: "How could a girl know the King of Wei when she is at this border?"
Niu Jiuhua roared in her heart: I don’t even know him! !
"Senior, I'm about to be exposed. What should I say next?"
Now it was Xiao Li's turn to be speechless. The job of covering up the lie fell on her, right?
"What's there to explain? He's a hostage. Just tell him before the King of Wei and he'll be proven."
Xiao Li asked Niu Jiuhua to say some ambiguous words, roughly saying that the King of Wei was coming to inspect and would probably pass by a certain place. Niu Shuangnian listened with half belief and half doubt. After thinking about it, he felt that meeting the King of Wei might be his way out, and even took the initiative to plan a route for Niu Jiuhua.
Niu Jiuhua looked at the route leading to King Wei as if it were her lifeline. If she finished the route, she was afraid she would die.
My senior sister is also very powerful. Even if she dies, she must die in a glorious way.
