Chapter 351 in 1 (Must-Read Version)
Of course, you can't run away~
The palace guards, who were well-trained and experienced, caught them like chicks.
Each person picked up one and easily pushed the person to the ground and made him eat dirt.
"Do you have any compassion, little girl?" the bearded man shouted desperately.
"Yesterday, I met the owner of the famous Taohuayuan in Peizhou while robbing people. He even gave me several silver bills!"
"At least...at least don't take me to the government office."
His voice grew quieter.
Jiang An, who was standing not far away, handed the scroll to Xingsang beside him, blinked his star-like eyes, and pointed at himself with his claws.
"Me? No sympathy?"
The little girl couldn't believe it.
Anyway, Peizhou is right in front of her and he won't run away, so she has the opportunity to reason with this big man.
Jiang An pointed at the corpse that was still lying there quietly, "Even if there are a hundred more of these guys, Si Si can kill them all..."
"Look carefully, all of my escorts have long swords at their side."
"One is more than enough to beat ten."
"The law of the country has decreed that if a bandit robs the road, he shall be beheaded on the spot without asking the authorities!"
"The reason you are still breathing today is simply because I am too compassionate!"
As she said this, a majestic aura lingered around the little girl, and the nobleness between her brows made her seem as if she was standing on a high platform that was difficult to look up to.
The big man was speechless for a moment, shrank his body, his eyes were empty, and he didn't dare to look straight.
He felt like he had hit a wall this time...
Based on his ten years of experience as a bandit, he knew that this girl and this team... were definitely not as simple as they seemed!
Meng couldn't bear to throw the big man in his hand to his brother on the side and ordered: "Tie him up, gag him, and throw him to the back of the team."
The young lady has had enough fun, so don't let these people continue to dirty her eyes.
"Wait a minute…"
At this moment, Jiang An's soft voice sounded like the devil's whisper in the ears of the bandits.
The big man shuddered, fearing that this little ancestor would have some new ideas to make trouble for him.
Tears welled up in his eyes again, and he looked at the escort who was watching him, "Brother, why don't you take me away quickly..."
The guard rolled his eyes at him and stood facing the young lady.
Jiang An narrowed his eyes and scratched his ears, "You just said that you robbed the owner of Taohuayuan yesterday?"
"have you seen?"
The big man answered obediently, "Everyone knows that the Peach Blossom Spring is as beautiful as a fairy. I...I want to have a taste of it, too."
After much difficulty in getting into the city, who knew that stuff was not something that ordinary people could drink.
At that time, he made a big fuss in Peach Blossom Spring and had the good fortune to meet the owner.
Jiang An asked again: "Did he reward you with a banknote?"
"...That's right."
The big man didn't understand why the little girl asked so carefully, but for the sake of his own life, he answered honestly.
Afraid that Jiang An would not believe him, he lifted one leg, shook the boot on his foot, and signaled the bodyguard who was holding him to take it out.
"I have two left, right here in my shoe!"
The guard looked at General Meng with a cold and ruthless face.
You gave me this person, come here!
The younger brother behind him (incredulous): Boss, didn’t you say there was no more? ?
Jiang An understood, and raised his voice, "Oh~ You hid your private money!"
The bandit leader lowered his head in embarrassment, feeling somewhat awkward.
Amid the looks of many younger brothers who wanted to stab him, Jiang An waved his hands and said, "Tie them up, let's go!"
"Yes!"
"An'an..."
On horseback, Li Xingsang turned his head to look at the little girl lying on her back in the carriage.
"Why did you keep asking that person about the Wen family?"
Rather than gossip or concern, Jiang An's words just now seemed more like some kind of suspicion to him.
Jiang An looked at the top of the carriage and turned over lazily after hearing this.
Her fingertips grabbed the soft cushion made of rabbit fur beneath her body, and she tried to organize her words, "Hmm..."
"Wen Zeyu is the owner of a famous restaurant. Doesn't he know that there are bandits lingering on this road for a long time?"
There are many restaurants and a lot of information. He must know that this bandit has been entrenched for ten years.
In Jiang An's mind, after spending some time with him, he realized that this man was no longer the mild-mannered young man who was suppressed by the power of the marquis's eldest daughter when they first met.
The water of Wen Zeyu is very deep.
The little girl's voice was so long that it was drowned out by the sound of the wheels of the moving carriage in the forest.
"Merchants pursue profit and love money. It doesn't make sense for them to give money to the bandits after they defeat them, unless..."
Li Xingsang took over the conversation, his voice somewhat cold, "Unless this bandit leader is as unreasonable as he was today."
It's not easy to deal with it if it's killed on the roadside.
If he has something extremely urgent, the quickest way is to give him money to settle the matter.
But isn’t this a bit too coincidental…
Jiang An was coming to Peizhou, so he showed up in a hurry.
Li Xingsang thought of the letter Shanyuan sent to the palace, and said, "Didn't Shanyuan say that this person also left Peizhou for a period of time when you, An'an, led the troops to patrol the border."
Calculating before and after, it’s almost the same period…
"Yes."
The little girl nodded her head, "Now that I think about it, he was also very strange in the black market in the South..."
It was clearly he who took them to the black market, but when they got there he just said he wanted to buy something and left in a hurry, and then a series of things happened to them.
"If so..."
Li Xingsang frowned, "Who does he belong to?"
The second prince or the Queen Mother Xie?
Jiang An turned over again, rolled up the rabbit fur cushion and covered himself with it, then rolled himself into a small burrito.
She didn't say anything, Li Xingsang was still guessing...
Jiang An thought that this person should be neither from the Second Prince's faction nor from the Xie family.
He was afraid that he was from Dongli...
A spy from a certain country has run a restaurant in the rich southern region for more than a few years.
Moreover, that restaurant is actually famous among all the merchants in the south.
Now that I think about it, he is really amazing!
"Tsk...what a pity~"
The little girl said in a long tone, "What a pity that delicious food is like a god..."
It's a pity for such a noble young man with a smart mind.
People around her thought that this was just a normal regret from a little girl...
After all, they have been together for quite a long time. If they really turned against each other, I guess the girl would feel bad.
Thinking of Jiang An, Li Xingsang consoled him, "Since we are not on the same path, An An should just ignore it."
"that is!"
Huo Changming echoed, "Anyway, according to the original itinerary, we should arrive tomorrow morning. If not, we can go to Peach Blossom Spring tonight to explore it!"
"What if it's just a coincidence~"
As for why it should arrive tomorrow morning...
Of course, it’s because the team was originally scheduled to set off from the resting city at noon today!
Who asked the little girl to lead people to put sacks on the generals defending the city in the middle of the night?
Then they had no choice but to run away as fast as they could!
"Roar too!"
The little girl poked her head out from the burrito with bright eyes.
She gave her brother a thumbs up, "Brother is so smart!"
Huo Changming smiled like a fool when he was praised.
On the other side, although Li Xingsang had a look of disgust on his face, there was a smile on the corner of his lips.
In the sunshine, the boy rode his horse forward...
Jiang An looked to the left, then to the right, and suddenly laughed heartily.
The little girl's giggles drifted far away with the wind, and also attracted the young man's attention.
Li Xingsang: "What did An An think of that made you laugh so happily?"
A cunning flash passed through her eyes, "An An suddenly remembered that when my brother carried me and sneaked into the school, you asked him seriously where he stole the doll from~"
Who would have thought that people who disliked each other when they were young would become close classmates and good friends.
Time is such a good thing.
"Cough cough..."
Jiang An's words successfully made both of them so embarrassed that they dug their toes into the ground.
The most frightening thing is not doing stupid things when you were a kid, but having someone remember you many years later...
Young Master Huo changed the subject dryly, "The sun is nice today~"
After saying that, he suddenly raised his head and looked straight into the dazzling sunlight.
"Oh yeah..."
This light...my eyes!
Li Xingsang rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart: Idiot!
Amidst the laughter and joy, the sun gradually sets...
When it was half leaning on the back of the mountain, the team finally entered Peizhou City.
Meng Bu Ren took half of his men and followed the young lady's instructions to send the bandit leader and others who had been beaten black and blue by his younger brother 'at some unknown time' to the governor of Peizhou.
The other half of the team went to Qi Shanyuan's house first to deliver the ice spices they brought.
That’s right! This icy spice is more than just a cover, it actually makes money~
All this is thanks to the little girl.
Now that I'm here, how can I not make some money!
If you don't make money when you have it, you're a bastard!
What? You want to ask where Jiang An is going?
As for her, of course she would go to the Peach Blossom Land to explore first!
Jiang An, Li Xingsang and Huo Changming were together. Jiang Si, who was hiding in the dark, also took off the veil covering his face and stood beside his master in broad daylight.
After entering the city, they separated from the convoy and did not take the main street, but headed towards the small courtyard where they lived when they were studying in the south.
In front of there is a large peach forest behind the Taohuayuan Building...
Passing through the peach forest is the high wall of the restaurant's backyard.
In February, the peach blossoms have not yet bloomed.
Jiang An walked through it and could faintly smell the sweetness of peaches.
She thought, that must be the taste in her memory.
After all, during her one year in the South, she loved staying in this peach forest the most...
Xie Yunshan is the same, he likes to find a tree to take a nap.
Walking to the foot of the wall, the little girl found a place.
She stamped her feet and said, "Here it is!"
This little girl climbed over the wall and chose a place that suited her eyes~
In response, Li Xingsang smiled, but his body honestly stopped.
What he didn't know was that this position had the best angle. Standing on it, he could just take in the entire backyard.
There is no way, who let the little girl have a good memory~
It was a piece of cake for the four of them to climb over the wall.
Huo Changming was seen rubbing his hands together, grabbing his friend's arm with one hand.
Li Xingsang lowered his head and was about to say that he could...
His other arm was also grabbed.
It's Jiang An...
The next moment, his body was instantly lifted into the air.
Li Xingsang, who was caught in the middle, looked helpless and muttered in his heart: What a bullshit!
As soon as they stood firm on the wall, the door of the west wing in the courtyard opened.
Huo Changming, who was about to say something, was blocked by Young Master Li, who signaled him not to speak.
In the setting sun, the little girl stared at the figure walking out of the door with burning eyes.
This person was dressed in a black robe and had his back to Jiang An, so his face could not be seen, but his stature was the same as the Wen Zeyu in his memory.
only…
The folding fan that Mr. Wen often held in his hand turned into a long sword.
It seemed that the gazes of Jiang An and others were too scorching, and it seemed that this man was too alert.
He stopped and slowly turned back...
At this moment, the sound of the wind, the hawking in the distance, and the singing of birds in the peach forest have all faded away.
Only that face was reflected in Jiang An's clear eyes.
Not Wen Zeyu...
At least now she can't be sure whether it is Wen Zeyu.
The little girl clenched her fists and ordered in a cold voice without any hesitation: "Jiang Si, kill him."
No matter who he is, he must die today.
The secret guard beside him held a knife and looked at the masked man with cold eyes, "Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his sword.
Jiang Si seldom uses his knife, because his opponents usually fall before he uses it.
He drew his sword today not because his opponent was strong, but because this man must die!
"An An..." Huo Changming didn't understand what was happening. He looked at Jiang Si's afterimage with a blank look in his eyes.
He wanted to ask, but was stopped by Li Xingsang.
The boy shook his head at him and told him not to ask...
He looked at Jiang An, who had a stern expression, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
If it wasn't a big deal, how could the usually cheerful girl look like this?
"We just met, and you're in such a hurry to let me die without even asking anything?"
In the yard, a masked man shouted loudly.
The next moment, Jiang Si's knife was at his face!
The man with the green face and fang-toothed mask leaned back, with his sword unsheathed and pressed against the ground.
The sword was bent and then rebounded, allowing him to use the force to change direction and avoid Jiang Si's attack.
The broadsword chopped and chopped the door behind the man in two in an instant with its internal force...
Inside the invisible house, cracks appeared in the supporting pillars.
Jiang An jumped down from the wall and said coldly: "Back then, you led bandits to massacre the village and killed our soldiers at the Chongzhou border..."
"When I was patrolling the border, you instigated the people to assassinate General Huo Lang..."
"Killing you is a bargain for you!"
After saying that, the little girl picked up the bamboo pole placed by the wall and rushed forward.
The pole turned into a spear and hit the man with such force that he had no power to fight back for a while!
"Well!"
The man was hit in the abdomen by the bamboo pole and retreated several steps.
Jiang An took this opportunity to use a long pole to knock the mask off his face.
The person behind the mask is the owner of this Peach Blossom Land—Wen Zeyu.
"Pooh…"
Without the mask to cover his face, Wen Zeyu spat out the blood foam in his mouth.
His eyes were still warm, and when he looked at Jiang An, there was a hint of smile, and there was also relief in his smile...
It is the kind of happiness that comes from being completely freed from the burden you are carrying.
"An An has accused me of so many crimes..."
He waved the mask in his hand...
The pair of large hands with distinct joints were stained with blood, and there was blood on the sleeves, chest, and mask.
The always reserved Master Wen no longer cared about it. He just smiled and asked, "Just based on an identical mask?"
In fact, his words are full of loopholes...
If he wasn't, how would he know what mask the man in the bandit's stronghold was wearing?
Li Xingsang looked at him with mixed emotions in his eyes.
Rather than saying it's a sophistry, Wen Zeyu is just trying to make himself give up...
He wanted to know how much weight he held in the little girl's heart.
Jiang An is so smart...
There seemed to be tears in her eyes. In front of her was the youngest brother who was so grief-stricken and desperate that he wished he could die with his brothers in the camp. It was the newly erected tombstone on the quiet hillside in the back mountain. It was the original intention of her following Meng Bushen to learn how to make coffins for several days.
The little girl spoke each word with great force, "The soldiers of our National Protection Army died tragically, and now the grass is growing on the graves of the heroes for more than a spring!"
She pointed the bamboo pole in her hand directly at Wen Zeyu, "I'd rather kill the wrong person than let him go!"
She had no right to forgive the people who killed the soldiers.
If Jiang An had taken her past friendship with Wen Zeyu into consideration today, she would not have the face to return to the National Protection Army camp, nor would she have the face to see the youngest man following Hu Yan again!
