Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

The teasing expressions on several people's faces disappeared completely in an instant.

The tall man asked, "Military Advisor, what should we do?"

Now that the boss is not here, they have to obey the military advisor's orders in everything.

The man standing in front of Qiu Fuqiu stopped and turned to look outside. "What should we do? Go meet the enemy! Are we waiting for them to come in and destroy their lair?"

The tall man shut up awkwardly, looked at Qiu Fuqiu again, and asked cautiously, "Then she..."

The military advisor said, "I've left her to me. You guys go ahead."

This military advisor was the most trusted person by the boss, and his word was final in the mountain stronghold. After hearing his instructions, several people immediately left the house and ran outside.

When she heard that soldiers were coming, Qiu Fuqiu immediately thought that it was Xie Chengyi who came to rescue her.

The fear in her heart was replaced by joy. Looking at the man standing in front of her who was called the military advisor, Qiu Fuqiu also felt the confidence to fight.

Xu Zhengran lowered his head to look at Qiu Fuqiu, only to see that the woman who had been frightened and at a loss just now now dared to raise her head and look directly at him.

He chuckled, squatted down, and looked into Qiu Fuqiu's eyes.

"Aren't you afraid of me anymore?"

His voice was not as cold and stern as when he spoke to his subordinates, but had a hint of teasing at the end.

Qiu Fuqiu also vaguely guessed the identities of these people from their titles. There was a military advisor, and he was afraid of soldiers. She couldn't think of anyone else except bandits.

Qiu Fuqiu immediately became arrogant and said, "Why should I be afraid of you? The soldiers are here, why don't you bandits run for your lives?"

Xu Zhengran laughed softly, "As expected, a young lady from a wealthy family is ignorant of worldly affairs. Don't you know that officials and bandits have always been one family since ancient times?"

He spoke slowly, and his voice was like the gurgling of water in spring, which was very soothing to the ears.

But the content of the conversation left Qiu Fuqiu stunned.

If the officials and bandits were really one family, then she would have to die here.

After a quick thought, Qiu Fuqiu said, "Don't lie to me. If the officials and the bandits are really one family, what are your accomplices afraid of?"

"Of course they are afraid, because I am the bandit who is associated with the Guan family."

Qiu Fuqiu was a little confused by what he said. What did he mean by "he was a bandit of the Guan family"?

Before she could figure it out, a huge force came and pushed Xu Zhengran, who was squatting in front of Qiu Fuqiu, out.

Xu Zhengran was pushed unexpectedly and staggered. He took several steps back before he could stand firmly. When he turned around, he saw a man in black armor walking towards where he was.

Xie Chengyi hurriedly walked up to Qiu Fuqiu, helped her up, and cut the ropes on her hands and feet with two swords.

Immediately, the sword turned and pointed directly at Xu Zhengran.

At this time Qiu Fuqiu suddenly shouted, "Oh, I know, you are a traitor!"

The voice was so loud that the two people in the room who were arguing with each other were stunned.

Xie Chengyi frowned as he looked at the man who remained calm even when he pointed at his throat, and said to Qiu Fuqiu in a cold voice, "Did he bully you?"

Qiu Fuqiu then realized that Xie Chengyi had really come to save her, and walked happily to Xie Chengyi's side, "Yes, he scared me!"

Xu Zhengran burst out laughing, "Girl, did I scare you?"

Qiu Fuqiu raised her head and said, "Of course not."

Xie Chengyi looked at the two of them interacting with each other, frowning even more tightly, not daring to let down his guard any more. "What did you mean by saying he was a traitor just now?"

Qiu Fuqiu didn't answer but asked, "Was it particularly smooth when you brought people in just now?"

Recalling how they had just charged into the mountain stronghold with overwhelming force and captured all the bandits in the stronghold, Xie Chengyi nodded and said, "It was indeed easier than I imagined."

He had been keeping an eye on Fengyang Mountain Stronghold for a long time. After receiving the emperor's order to suppress bandits, he came to Fengyang Mountain on the pretext of reorganizing the defense of the Summer Resort. He also deliberately let two bandits infiltrate the army to lead the way for him.

The bandits in Fengyang Mountain Stronghold were cunning and secretive. He had sent people to follow them several times but had not been able to find their lair. But this time, he found it so easily.

Qiu Fuqiu smiled and looked at Xu Zhengran and said, "That's right, it seems that this military advisor is really a traitor."

Then he told Xie Chengyi what Xu Zhengran said about officials and bandits being one family. When Xie Chengyi heard it, he looked at Xu Zhengran with a hint of suspicion.

From what Qiu Fuqiu said, it seemed that this person knew they were coming.

He said coldly: "Who are you?"

Xu Zhengran smiled and said, "My name is Xu Zhengran."

Qiu Fuqiu was puzzled: "Xu Zhengran? Never heard of him."

I thought he was some famous person.

Xie Chengyi's eyes lit up, and he immediately retracted his sword, cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect it to be the new champion. Chengyi is offended."

Qiu Fuqiu was stunned. "A new number one scholar? He is a number one scholar and is now a military advisor in a bandit's den!"

Xu Zhengran said disapprovingly: "Young lady, you are surprised by what you have seen so often. This mountain bandit's lair is quite interesting."

Qiu Fuqiu curled her lips in disbelief, "Interestingly, you even sold the entire village."

"I'm helping them turn over a new leaf. Being a bandit is fun for a while, but being a bandit for life is a waste. I heard that the Tiger Power Army is recruiting soldiers, I wonder if the Yongding Marquis is willing to take them under his command?"

Xie Chengyi asked, "Is Xu Zhuangyuan pleading for them?"

"I guess so. After all, we have been brothers for several months, so we have some affection for each other."

Xie Chengyi laughed and said, "There must be at least seven or eight bandit dens sold by Xu Zhuangyuan, if not ten. Why haven't you asked for mercy?"

Xu Zhengran smiled shyly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Their eldest daughter is very kind to me, so I will consider it as a favor I am repaying her."

Qiu Fuqiu suddenly said, "No, they are too bad. We can't just let them go."

Thinking of the disgusting words those people said, Qiu Fuqiu felt sick.

Xu Zhengran said, "Are you talking about the fact that they kidnapped you? That was an accident. They wanted to threaten Yongding Hou to release their leader!"

Qiu Fuqiu showed a look of shock on her face, and immediately looked at Xie Chengyi who looked calm and said, "What? You arrested the boss!"

Xie Chengyi said calmly, "She was arrested, but she refused to tell us where the stronghold is. She is still in the summer resort."

Now Qiu Fuqiu finally understood that Xie Chengyi did not come to the Mountain Resort to reorganize the defense. He was clearly here to suppress bandits under the guise of reorganizing the defense.

And she accidentally became a hostage, how embarrassing.

A group of bandits were tied together by the Tiger Power Army brought by Xie Chengyi and were ready to be taken away to await their fate.

When they saw Xu Zhengran walking out side by side with Xie Chengyi, they were all shocked.

"Military Advisor, you..."

Xu Zhengran put on a noble attitude and said to the bandits he sold out: "Don't worry, brothers. This is the Marquis of Yongding. I have already pleaded with him. As long as you are willing to join his army, I will forgive you for what happened. In the future, you will be treated the same as the soldiers of the Tiger Army."

When the bandits heard that they would not have to go to jail and could become members of the Tiger Army, they burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you, military advisor. We are willing to surrender."

Xu Zhengran turned his head and winked at Qiu Fuqiu where the bandits couldn't see, meaning, see, I was right, I was helping them.

Qiu Fuqiu rolled her eyes. This new top scholar was really cunning.

He has sold the person, and the other person is still counting the money for him.
