"Master, I wonder what the villagers think when they see the empty house." When Qiuju woke up in the morning and saw the extra pebbles, she couldn't help but imagine what those people looked like. Her faces must have been interesting.

Qiu Rong sighed: "It's a pity for the vegetables planted at the entrance of the village. I don't know who will get the benefits."

Liu Huan pointed to the corner next to him, "Are those what you are talking about?"

There is a bunch of small vegetable seedlings in the corner, which look very fresh.

Qiu Ju ran over and grabbed two of them. "Master is really amazing. He even brought back Xiao Miaomiao."

"Don't plant flowers in the small garden in the yard for now. Plant these vegetables instead to avoid wasting them."

Qiu Rong looked at the pebbles in the corner and asked, "Master, what should we do with these stones?"

The courtyards in the county are all paved with blue bricks, so these pebbles are no longer needed. I remember that everyone would go to the river to pick them up when they had time, but now they really can’t bear to throw them away.

"Find a few people to wash and dry them and keep them for Anzhi to use when he gets married and buys a new house for decoration."

The two of them laughed secretly when they heard this, "Master is really thinking far ahead. Maybe in the future, if the young master passes the imperial examination and becomes the top scholar, he will not stay in Nanchang County anymore."

"That's because he has this good fortune. Not everyone is like his father, who is a god of literature and art."

Everyone agrees with this point. Lord Su is truly a rare genius in a century. He is not only handsome but also talented in both literature and martial arts. If not...

Forget it, he is not a good person anymore.

For several days, Qiu Rong was doing things carelessly, as if she had lost her soul. Liu Huan didn't know the reason, but Qiu Ju, who was with her every day, knew it.

Their rooms were next to each other. Before going to bed at night, Qiu Ju found Qiu Rong and asked, "You still can't forget him?"

Qiu Rong lowered her head in shame, "I know I shouldn't have done this. I had already accepted my fate, but I didn't expect him to show up again."

"But... the master..."

Qiu Rong immediately interrupted her, "I know, I just need to adjust. Once I figure it out, I won't worry about it anymore. Don't tell the master."

Qiuju reached out and hugged her, "Don't worry, sister, I won't tell."

The days went by peacefully, until suddenly one day, Ermo, who was still in the yamen, rushed back in a hurry and was furious.

Seeing this, several people hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Ermo said: "I don't know what happened recently, many people were robbed on the road to Hongdufu, and finally found out that there were many more bandits on Wuji Mountain."

Qiu Ju was shocked, "Why are there bandits out of nowhere?"

Ermo shook his head and said, "I don't know, and a house was built on it without anyone noticing. No one noticed it before."

Liu Huan asked the key question, "Then why are you back now?"

Ermo then remembered the purpose of his return. "Recently, many people have reported that their daughters or children have disappeared. It must be the work of the bandits on Wuji Mountain. I came back to remind my sister not to go out if she has nothing to do. I will go buy you anything you need."

When Qiu Rong heard that they would kidnap children, she suggested, "Why not call the young lady back and find a teacher to teach them at home?"

Qiu Ju shivered and said, "Should we hurry and bring them back?"

Liu Huan was the most stable one among them. "How did the government handle it?"

"I have already reported it to Hongdu Prefecture. We will lead people to encircle and suppress them in the next few days. However, the terrain of Wuji Mountain is steep and I am afraid it will be difficult to attack it."

As expected, there is only one road to Wuji Mountain, and if you want to go up, you must go up from there.

However, before they could get up, they were knocked down by the bandits above who threw rocks and shot arrows, causing countless casualties but no progress at all.

Ermo was carried back by Changbai. He had a bandage on his forehead, which almost scared everyone to death. "Miss, he is fine. The doctor has treated him. He just needs to rest for a while."

Qiu Ju felt extremely distressed: "Thank you very much."

Only Qiu Rong saw the blood seeping from the bandage on Chang Bai's hand. Her expression darkened and she gritted her teeth and said, "Your hand is bleeding. Let me bandage it for you."

Changbai then noticed that the wound on his hand had broken open, so he nodded and followed Qiurong to the next room.

Seeing that she was frowning as she changed his bandages, her movements were so gentle that she was afraid of hurting herself, he cleared his throat and said, "Change it, I'm not in pain."

Qiu Rong raised her head again, her eyes reddened, "How can such a big wound not hurt?"

After carefully changing the gauze and tying the knot, she looked up and said, "Okay, you can go now."

When he turned around, Changbai grabbed his arm and said, "I went to see your stepmother and brother when I came here. They are fine."

These words made Qiu Rong, who was originally strong, unable to hold back, "Then they..."

"They don't know. I said you came with us, but it was inconvenient for me to see them. They are doing well, and your brother has good grades. He will definitely have a bright future."

Qiu Rong wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Thank you."

Changbai wanted to say something, but when he saw the girl’s red eyes from crying, he didn’t say anything.

"I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself."

After Liu Huan helped Qiu Ju to settle Ermo, he came out to find that everyone had left.

Qiu Rong wiped away her tears and said, "He's gone. I'll go cook."

Ermo woke up the next day. When he talked about their attack on the mountain, his eyes changed constantly. "Anyway, not only was I injured, but Lord Su was also injured."

Hearing this, Liu Huan's face remained calm, "Okay, since you are injured, then take a good rest."

Ermo stopped talking because he saw that she really didn't care.

At the yamen, Su Yi was sitting at the desk handling a case, with Changbai serving him.

Changyun came in from outside with a secret letter.

"Master, the people in Wuji Mountain are not the same as those in Changning Temple. They are bandits from Lingnan. The second in command who escaped during the encirclement and suppression a few years ago set up camp in Wuji Mountain with his old subordinates. They pretended to be villagers going down the mountain to buy groceries during the day, and built the stockade at night, so no one noticed."

Changbai asked: "Do you know how many people there are?"

"About a few hundred people, a small number of whom are the men who disappeared when the Earth Dragon turned over."

Changbai couldn't help but complain: "Why do those people like the mountains in Nanchang County so much?"

Su Yi ordered: "Send someone to keep an eye on it. Since there aren't many people, it's only a matter of time before we capture it. But we can't attack from the main road anymore."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it right away."

Changbai looked at Su Yi and shouted involuntarily: "Master..."

Seeing the injuries on his master, he almost couldn't help but tell him that Ermo's relative was his wife.

"what happened?"

"You are also injured, so you should take a rest."

Su Yi shook his head calmly: "Nothing, you can go down."

Although he knew that the group of people from Wuji Mountain and the people from Changning Temple were not together, he still couldn't help but worry whether there was any connection between the two and where he could rest.
