Chapter 315: Good Eyesight
Winn was startled, then nodded slightly.
He got up and went to the backyard. When he came back, he lowered his voice and said to Wen Wan, "Everything is ready."
Wen Wan knew that he had already made arrangements and these strong men could not escape.
After a while, a few strong men finished their meal, put a few copper coins on the table and left.
The innkeeper touched the copper coins and shook his head, but he was angry but dared not say anything.
Wen Wan was anxious and stood up to go forward, but Wen En grabbed her arm.
"There's no need for us to go. My people will take them down. There's no need for you to pollute your eyes."
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment and then sat there without moving.
After about a cup of tea, a guard came to report:
"Several people were held captive in the dense forest at the east entrance of the town."

Wen Wan hurried to the scene, took a closer look, and twitched the corners of her mouth.
Several strong-dressed men were lying on the ground covered in blood, dying. One of them saw someone else coming and couldn't help trembling with fear.
"Stop hitting me, please stop hitting me. I'm telling you everything I know, even the scar on the second-in-command's butt."
It turned out that this was why Winn didn't let her come with him.
The people of Mobei really only care about efficiency when doing things, and they are extremely ruthless when they act.
The guards called beating someone half to death "pinning him down."
Wen En frowned and glared at the guards. "Can't you be more restrained? It's so ugly that it's covered in blood."
Knowing that his sister was coming, they still created such a bloody scene. These people are really incompetent.
Wen En was a little annoyed and looked at Wen Wan guiltily, "Sister, they have no sense of propriety. I will definitely discipline them when I get back."
"Uh..." Wen Wan coughed lightly, "In an emergency, we have to make the necessary decisions. These bandits are not good people, so there is no need to show mercy. I'm not a white lotus raised in seclusion, so I don't have to be so particular."
"White Lotus?" It didn't sound like a good word. Wen En didn't quite understand it, but he felt relieved that his sister was not angry.
The guard reported, "These men confessed that they had followed the Second In Command a few days ago to rob a group of isolated Fengcheng defenders. They were none other than He Qing's men who were guarding the valley."
"They said that the village has been extremely poor recently. They robbed passing merchants too much in the past two months, and there are too few caravans this month. The Fengcheng defenders have good horses and weapons, but they are few in number, so their second-in-command has started to make plans."
Wen Wan became more and more frightened the more she listened.
She asked suspiciously, "Are the bandits in this lawless area so arrogant? They even dare to rob the Fengcheng defenders? They are the defenders, with a force of over ten thousand people in the base camp."
This was a point to the question, but the guards didn't think in that direction and didn't ask.
Wen En gave a wink, and a guard walked up to a man who was pretending to be strong, raised his foot, and stepped hard on the man's injured arm.
The man screamed in pain and sweat broke out on his forehead.
The guard asked coldly, "Didn't you hear the young lady ask you a question? Why did you even dare to rob the guards?"
The man was so frightened by the torture that he begged for mercy and said:
"In the past, we wouldn't have dared to do that. The commander of Fengcheng's garrison, He Qing, was a ruthless man. We couldn't afford to offend him, and we didn't dare to have any evil intentions."
"But now, the commander has been replaced, and life in the village is really tight, so I took a risk and did something big."
"And, and..."
The man in tight clothes seemed to find it difficult to speak. Seeing that the guard was about to take action again, he was so scared that he screamed and dared not hide anything anymore.
"Also, the second in command was very greedy because of the blind man's good looks. The brothers couldn't stop him at all, so they had to bite the bullet and go after him."
After understanding what had happened, everyone present sighed.
Wen Wan couldn't help but raised the corner of her mouth, "I didn't expect that Shen Yu also has the potential to be a disaster."
Wen En curled his lips in sarcasm, "I think these bandits are just a bunch of brainless people, and their eyesight is not good either."
Wen Wan shook her head and chuckled, "I think they have good vision. They only pick on tough guys. Not only did they rob He Qing's men, they also kidnapped Shen Yu, the two great generals of the Duan Dynasty. They didn't let any of them go."
The strong-dressed man lying on the ground was stunned when he heard their conversation, and then he looked up in fear.
"Who were you talking about? What two great generals?"
Wen Wan slowly squatted down and kindly explained on behalf of the strong-dressed man.
"The border town defenders you robbed were none other than the subordinates of He Qing, the ruthless man you dare not offend. And the blind man your second-in-command abducted was the renowned General Shen of the Duan Dynasty."
Hearing this, several strong men who were still breathing were frightened to death.
The remaining few are exhaling more than inhaling.
"It's over, it's over, our copycat is finished..."
The man muttered these words and then fainted completely.
Wen En glanced at the people lying in a mess with disdain, thought for a moment, and then asked Wen Wan.
"Sister, even the best cook cannot cook without rice. We only have a few of us. It would not be wise to rush up the mountain to rescue people."
Wen Wan stood up and responded.
But she wasn't in a hurry at all, and instead patted Winn's shoulder.
"Let's go. Let's go get some men."
Several guards stared at Wen Wan blankly, not because they looked down on her.
In fact, they had never seen such a big thing as mobilizing troops, so they found it unbelievable when she, a woman, said it.
However, seeing His Highness's matter-of-fact look, they temporarily put aside their doubts.
*
Baihu Village is located halfway up a steep mountain. From the perspective of terrain, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Once the mountain road is blocked, no one can easily rush up the mountain.
Relying on the advantages of terrain, the village has grown stronger year by year and now has a population of no less than a thousand.
At dusk, several staggering figures were walking on the path up the mountain. Leading the way was a tall young man, followed by two followers and an old woman.
On the observation tower at the entrance of the mountain stronghold, the bandit in charge of guarding saw the people below, raised his knife, and shouted:
"Who are you? Do you know where we are? How dare you barge in? Get out of here quickly, or I'll have to chop you to death."
The young man frowned, as if he was too lazy to talk to this person.
The old woman beside him did not get angry, but just raised her neck and shouted loudly:
"My son is a miracle doctor. A few days ago, he ran into people from your village in the town. They said your second-in-command's thing is not working. Oh, yes, that means he's impotent..."
She shouted very loudly, fearing that the people above might not hear her.
Little did they know that when these words were spoken, the group of bandits standing on the high platform were frightened.
One of them yelled in panic, "Auntie! What are you yelling about? Our second-in-command is fine!"
Can you say such words in public?
If the second-in-command gets ruthless, they will all be skinned alive.
