Since that day, there were thieves who broke through at night, and the patrol found that there were many new faces under the mountain recently, and the quiet and remote mountain road in the past few days saw passers-by, and they did not come up to this mountain, but really just hurried, and walked in front of the sentry of the sentry post and passed.

Nineteen reported to Beiran every day about the situation down the mountain, and told her in detail about the places where pedestrians had been found. Bei Ran temporarily drew a topographical map covering the inside and outside of the cottage, and she marked these locations one by one on the map, and was surprised to find that the movement trajectory of these people happened to wrap the entire Qingteng Mountain in the form of a net, and the center of this net was their Qingteng Village.

Bei Ran's heart was not good, and the marker pen in her hand fell to the ground suddenly due to panic, and Nineteen picked up the pen for her and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Bei Ran pointed out the picture to him, Nineteen took it, and saw more than a dozen red dots on it surrounded by two circles inside and out, just enclosing the Qingteng Village into the center of the circle, and Nineteen immediately understood it after looking at it carefully, and said: "Do you suspect that they are people sent by the government to investigate?" ”

"Yes, do you remember what happened to Chu Wang's family, at that time, it was the people from their neighboring village who colluded with the government, and a group of people acted in embarrassment, so they attacked the cottage and killed Uncle Chu and Aunt Zhang, and Kezhai became what it is today." Bei Ran stared at the picture, her face was gloomy, she vaguely felt that something big would happen, and her heart was so flustered that she couldn't do it.

Nineteen: "Maybe it's just a coincidence?" This month is the peak season for merchants, and people in various cities want to sell their goods far away, and it is normal for people to come and go, and they may just be passing by. ”

"I hope so, but no matter what, we have to take precautions and plan ahead."

Afterwards, she called a few more people and discussed the arming plan with the big guys in case of an emergency.

Bei Ran's worries were not superfluous, and two days later, a team of 1,000 officers and soldiers came to the Qingteng Territory and set up camp at the foot of the mountain. Without thinking about it, the meaning is obvious.

On that day, a man who looked like a general shouted to the mountain, where bandits were rampant, and they were ordered to come to suppress the bandits, and if they disarmed and surrendered, they would be lightly punished.

But Bei Qingteng is a violent temper, and he can't listen to the trumped-up charges that others put on their heads, how can he be willing to admit it, let alone surrender, and immediately replied: "Fuck you, I've lived most of my life, and no little rabbit cub dares to talk to me like this, what are you!" ”

The general was taken aback, and Fang knew that the bandits were really rampant, so he didn't say more, and went back to the camp to resume his life.

Bei Ran was quite helpless, and said with his forehead: "Dad, can't you talk well, why do you have to fight with them?" ”

Bei Qingteng said disdainfully: "What do you little girl know, these people are not the masters who can talk well!" Then he looked at the other two middle-aged people in the room and said, "Thirteen or fourteen, you guys come here." ”

Bei Ran frowned and was angry, and when Aunt Fourteen passed by, she patted her shoulder and said, "Girl, your father is right, these people are not as good as you seem on the surface, believe your father's words, be careful." After that, he followed the owner of the village into the inner hall with the thirteenth uncle.

After they left, Kitazme also left the place, and went to find Seventeen and Nineteen, and the three of them sat together by the old well in the courtyard and chatted intermittently.

In the evening of the same day, the officers and soldiers launched an attack on Qingteng Village, and all the people in the village came out to respond to the battle, and they were all in danger. In the face of the strong attack of the officers and soldiers, these traps played a very good role in resisting, and the terrain of Qingteng Mountain was high and peculiar, and it was easy to go down the mountain and difficult to go up, so the first attack of the officers and soldiers did not please them, and they retreated back in the ashes under the rocks that were constantly rolling down.

But tonight is destined to be sleepless.

Although the first battle was successful, repelling the soldiers who tried to go up the mountain, but there were also people in the village who were wounded, Bei Ran took a few female relatives to help the doctor in the village to bandage the wounded, she wrapped a roll of white cloth every time, her face darkened a little, and the anxiety in her heart was self-evident.

Not long after, the second war began, and it was difficult to move at night, so everyone had to abandon the agency and go into battle in person. Nineteen led a team of elite men and horses in the village, with their familiarity with the terrain and ghosts, to shuttle through the forest, leading the enemy to different places to kill one by one, returning triumphantly again, and capturing one of the enemy's generals, who was the one who came to deliver the message during the day.

The man was tied up into a dumpling and thrown in the middle of the room, and a crowd gathered around him, almost cutting him to minced meat with a cannibalistic eye.

Bei Ran took down the white cloth that he stuffed in his mouth and asked, "What is the reason why you attacked the mountain for no reason?" ”

The general took himself very seriously when he put on his official skin, and in the face of Bei Ran's question, not only did he not reply a word, but also twisted his face full of flesh to the side, and his two mustaches were raised high, and he did not look at these people at all, and his attitude was extremely arrogant.

Seventeen couldn't get used to him, so he reflexively grabbed the coptis water that had been prepared on the side, grabbed it and poured it into his mouth, and the bearded general was bitter by the water, choking more than ten times, with a crying face that was about to die.

Seventeen held the bowl and scolded: "Don't look at what the hell you look like, a prisoner still has a face here, you put another one for me to see, the girl has to bitter your bile today!" After that, I will pour the remaining half bowl into him.

The mustache was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted, "I said, I said!" ”

Seventeen put the bowl down and shouted, "Then hurry up and ask you what to say." ”

He was honest, and the big guys all smiled and gave a thumbs up to Seventeen, and Mrs. North said, "Which royal branch are you?" Whose orders were they given, and for what purpose did they attack us? ”

The mustache changed his tone and replied: "We are the Red Flame Army under the command of Zeng Yi, the general of the Protector of the Country, and we are here to kill the bandits who are the cause of the disaster......

Nineteen pulled out the back half of the stick and hit him on the head with a stick: "You are the one who is the party!" ”

The mustache was not lightly beaten by this stick, and he gritted his teeth and glared at Nineteen several times. Bei Qingteng immediately drank him: "Nineteen! Don't do it, let him finish. ”

Nineteen Fang took the stick and stepped back a little, and Mrs. Bei said again: "Let's be more detailed, why do you say that we are the party to the disaster, do you have evidence?" ”

The man said: "Of course there is, half a month ago, the owner of a pawnshop reported to the government office, saying that someone took the treasures stolen from the palace two years ago and sold them, and the people of the criminal department immediately sent troops, arrested five or six men there, and seized several boxes of bronzes, which were verified to be from the palace treasury. ”

Later, the Criminal Department interrogated those people strictly, and finally found out that they were the people from the bandits' den, and they also robbed the goods. The imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, and the Holy Lord personally ordered that we must eradicate these bandits. ”

Beiran stared at him several times and asked, "So, you are the commander of this operation?" ”

"Of course not, the commander is in the battalion, and I am just one of the lieutenants."

"Who's the manager?"

"When the Nine Emperors of the Dynasty."
