"Don't wander around before I get back. If the government officials find this place, head north. About twenty li north is the territory of Yuecheng."
"I understand. Go ahead. Oh, and take your guards with you. I don't need them."
"Okay." This naughty girl knows martial arts and has almost learned all of Master Xuanzhen's skills, so she almost never encounters any danger. "If you encounter a master, just reveal your identity."
"knew."
"Then I'm leaving."
"Okay. Go quickly and come back quickly."
"good."
After Fourteen left, Hei Bao fed the horses and went back. Upon returning, Hei Bao first glanced at Young Master Mei, who was resting.
Seeing that he was behaving well, Hei Bao called over all the guards. "Come, come, let's discuss where to build our mountain stronghold?"
Young Master Mei could hardly believe his ears. "You haven't even set up a copycat yet?"
“That’s right.” Hei Bao looked at Young Master Mei and said with a smile, “I built this stronghold for you. Before, I was a wanderer.”
Young Master Mei: "..." Thank you.
Hei Bao used his riding crop to lift Young Master Mei's chin. "Touched, aren't you?"
"So touching..." Young Master Mei wanted to swear. "Touched. Heroine, didn't you say you were coming with me to seek refuge with my cousin?"
"I just said I'd think about it. Before I've made up my mind, I need a place to stay, right? I can't bear to have you living a life of hardship with me."
"..." Thank you.
Meanwhile, Hei Bao teased Young Master Mei while discussing with the guards where to build a mountain stronghold.
Meanwhile, Fourteen told Dog Egg and Old White what had just happened. "When I first heard Blackie say she wanted to build a mountain stronghold, I really wanted to scold her. But then I thought, building a stronghold might not be a bad thing."
"Oh?" Gou Dan and Lao Bai exchanged a glance. "How can it not be a bad thing?"
Fourteen looked at Dog Egg and said, "We can use this mountain stronghold to see how the nearby officials react. Will they sit idly by? Or will they go along with it? Or will they try to rid the people of this scourge?"
Dog Egg suddenly realized. "So building a mountain stronghold can test local officials. Uncle, you're really smart."
"Your uncle was forced into this situation by your aunt; she's such a troublemaker. The rest is up to you. Your uncle is going to join your aunt as a bandit."
"Okay. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of the rest."
"Okay. Then my uncle is leaving."
"I'll take you there."
"No need. You should make the arrangements as soon as possible."
"good."
As soon as Fourteen left, Gou Dan looked at Lao Bai. "Uncle Bai, my mother really understands my little uncle."
After Lao Hei and Hei Bao discussed how to test Shi Si, Lao Hei wrote a letter to Si Si. After reading it, Si Si said that Shi Si could pass Lao Hei's test, and that Shi Si would use the matter of the mountain stronghold to test the local officials.
Old Bai popped a peanut into his mouth. "Of course. Your maternal grandmother said that your mother knows your uncle better than she does."
Dog Egg also ate a peanut. "Tell me, when did my uncle figure out that Uncle Hei was actually testing him?"
"When you met your great-grandmother, right? Your great-grandmother knew your Uncle Hei quite well."
"I think so too." Gou Dan still had something he didn't understand. "Uncle Bai, do you think my uncle won't be angry?"
Old Bai ate another peanut. "Your mother also quite likes handsome men, is your father angry?"
"...not to be born."
"Isn't that settled then? Although Hei Bao is mischievous, if your uncle is in danger, Hei Bao will definitely be the first to step in. As for handsome men, in your mother's and Hei Bao's hearts, they're like flowers. We look at them and touch them when we have time, and then we just put them aside when we don't."
That's true. "Uncle Bai, what if Aunt Bai also snatched a handsome man?"
"Then I'll steal a hundred beautiful women."
"...Uncle Bai, you don't have the same confidence as my father and my uncle."
"What does this have to do with confidence? The thing I love to do most is sleep in a beautiful woman's nest. It's a pity I can't do that anymore after I married your Aunt Bai. If your Aunt Bai were to snatch a handsome man, then I could reminisce about the good old days."
"...Uncle Bai, how did Aunt Bai fall for you back then?"
"I don't know either. I've always suspected that your Aunt Bai has something wrong with her eyes, but she just won't admit it. Who do you plan to send to keep an eye on those officials near the mountain stronghold?"
“I plan to go in person. I’ve only dealt with high-ranking officials before. This time, I want to observe the lower-ranking officials.”
"Okay. I'll go prepare then."
"good."
Soon, Hei Bao had chosen where to build the counterfeit.
After seeing the place Hei Bao chose, Young Master Mei felt it was a real pity that Hei Bao wasn't leading an army into battle.
Hei Bao chose a location that was both secluded and naturally fortified. In short, unless Hei Bao made a foolish mistake, the government troops would have virtually no chance of breaching the defenses, unless a large army arrived.
Sending a large army would only cause hardship and waste resources.
Therefore, as long as Hei Bao doesn't go too far, the imperial court will probably turn a blind eye.
Young Master Mei wanted to persuade Hei Bao to serve the imperial court again. However, this time he didn't intend to deceive Hei Bao. He felt that someone who could be chosen for such a place wouldn't be fooled by his little tricks.
Hei Bao was discussing with Fourteenth Master where to set up the trap when Young Master Mei arrived. "Greetings, Lady Heroine! Greetings, Fourteenth Master!"
Hei Bao whistled. "Beauty, you actually came to find me on your own initiative. Have you changed your mind? Are you willing to marry me?"
Young Master Mei: "..." He's not blind. "You flatter me, heroine. You and the Fourteenth Prince are the real couple."
"He is my husband, and you are my little darling."
"Heroine, please stop teasing me. I came to apologize to you. I lied to you when I said my cousin was a lady-in-waiting to the Crown Princess."
