Liu Lingyan and Yang Xixue arrived in Maxing Town as refugees dressed in shabby coarse clothes and linen. Of course, their arrival was not as big as when Situ Nuo came. They just entered the town quietly, and soon after they entered the town, they saw Jun Ming didn't know when he was standing not far in front of them, saw them seeing him, nodded slightly to them, and then walked in one direction.

After Liu Lingyan and Yang Xixue nodded slightly to him, they followed him from a distance. Junming arrived at a remote private house, looked back, and went in. Liu Lingyan and Yang Xixue also followed him in.

After they entered, Jun Ming immediately bowed to Liu Lingyan and said, "My lord."

Liu Lingyan nodded and said, "How is the situation here?"

Junming pointed to the inside of the room and said, "My lord, please sit down in the room with Young Master Yang, and my subordinates will report to you slowly." He took them into the room and sat down, poured tea for them before sitting down and said: "Now the bandits are captured by Li. My lord has suppressed his arrogance, he is not as rampant as before, he will bully the people openly, but it is not so good, he will still bully them when the officers and soldiers are not around." Then he took out two simple hand-drawn drawings and put them on the table Dao: "These two are the initial drawings of the terrain and defense of the bandits' cottage. The cottage is on the mountain next to Maxing Town. It is as big as Maxing Town. There are bandits guarding the vicinity of the village and on the mountainside. There are about 2000 people in the village. , I don’t know the true combat strength of the bandits, but I know they should have a lot of weapons in their hands. Sometimes bandits often go down the mountain to recruit newcomers or rob residents, and even do more outrageous things. After finishing, they will return immediately within a certain period of time. The subordinates have been paying attention to the village for a few days, and found that they came down after the soldiers patrolled, and went back before another patrol. They seemed to know when the soldiers patrolled. The residents reported to the government, but the government ignored them. Now the residents are being bullied. I won't report to the official anymore, so I have to stand by myself."

Liu Lingyan grasped the point and frowned and asked, "A lot of weapons?"

Jun Ming said: "When Mr. Li was attacking the bandits, the weapons used by the bandits and the conjectures obtained from them have not been found yet. It is said that their weapons and the weapons used by the soldiers have five images. The subordinates suspect that they should be provided by the insiders. , but nothing was found from the military account, and the Hyogo was also counted, no problem."

Yang Xixue interrupted suddenly: "You can check their scrapped weapons and guns."

Liu Lingyan was reminded of what he said: "Check the military accounts and scrapped weapons for the past ten years, and report immediately when you find it."

Junming replied, "Yes."

Liu Lingyan asked: "How is our military strength?"

Jun Ming said: "Ah Nuo and the others have regrouped their troops immediately. Now, besides the more than 1000 local soldiers lost by Mr. Li, there are only more than [-] soldiers left in the town."

Liu Lingyan sighed and whispered: "No wonder the emperor is so angry, Mr. Li, you actually lost more than half of your troops." He asked Junming to help him prepare paper, pens and envelopes, wrote a letter, stamped it with the official seal, Then put the letter in an envelope, seal it, and hand it to Junming, saying: "You hand this letter to the emperor. This letter is an application to the imperial court for sending [-] more troops. You let Ah Nuo handle it secretly. If the [-] troops are approved , Let them live in Duqu Town, don’t let the officials here know, how is the investigation progress?”

Jun Ming said: "The subordinates have begun to investigate the major officials here. Those who are suspected, and those who have participated in the strategic discussion of Mr. Li include Mr. Huang Wen, the prefect, Mr. Chen Dong, the county magistrate, and his master Lin Yequan. The other participants are all Master Li brought it, so it is not counted."

Yang Xixue rubbed her chin and said: "The person who can provide weapons and suppress this matter must have great power, can keep the people below secret, and is very familiar with the loopholes in it, then Master Lin should not be, but There must be something to do."

Liu Lingyan glanced at Yang Xixue with a smile on his face and said: "Indeed, the main force is to investigate Huang Wen and Chen Dong, let Ah Nuo and the others follow the words of the master and let him discuss countermeasures without guarding against them, and let them know Clearly."

Junming was puzzled, but still said: "Yes."

Liu Lingyan pointed to the table and asked, "Is this what you rented temporarily?"

Junming said: "Ah Nuo said that we need a place to meet and I also need a place to stay. It would be inconvenient if it was an inn, and he also said that if you need anything, you can come here to find me."

Liu Lingyan said: "Well, after we sneaked into the bandit village, we should not let go and come here from time to time. We won't come if it is not necessary. If you have anything to do, come to us."

Junming said: "Yes."

Looking at Liu Lingyan's face, Yang Xixue suddenly thought of a question, he asked Junming: "We have changed our appearance, we are completely different, how do you recognize us?"

Jun Ming smiled and said, "My lord used to use this face often, of course I remember, you are with your lord, isn't it you who is next to your lord?"

Yang Xixue said: "Oh, no wonder you showed up as soon as we came in."

Junming asked Liu Lingyan: "Sir, do you need to rest for a day before you act?"

Liu Lingyan turned to look at Yang Xixue, Yang Xixue shook her head, he turned back and said, "No need."

Jun Ming said: "Yes, I will check to see if those bandits have come down, please rest here, my lord, and I will inform you when they come." He bowed and went out.

Liu Lingyan said softly to Yang Xixue as if telling a child, "Xixue, remember not to mess around after sneaking into the bandits, you understand?"

Yang Xixue said very sincerely: "I know, I won't act recklessly, I know this time is very dangerous, as long as it doesn't endanger your life, I will fully obey your orders, don't worry, I will never let you have any trouble of."

Liu Lingyan felt that this innocent boy who was a few years younger than himself should be protected by himself, but he told him to protect himself, and he also believed that he could do it. ,I trust you."

At this time, Jun Ming came back and said to them: "A few bandits have come down and are wandering around. It should be to see if there are any new refugees. This is a good opportunity. My lord, let's go."

Liu Lingyan and Yang Xixue didn't say much, and immediately followed him to the vicinity of the bandits. Liu Lingyan asked Yang Xixue to hand over his two swords and her snow sword to Junming, and said to him, "You should help us with these three swords first." Keep it, after we sneak in, you can bring it to us sometime, and you must keep it well." This is what Liu Lingyan and Yang Xixue discussed earlier, because refugees can't have swords, and it's not cheap at all That's why she made such a decision. Although Yang Xixue didn't want to, there was nothing she could do.

Junming nodded and said, "Yes, my subordinates will take good care of it."

Liu Lingyan and Yang Xixue hunched their backs slightly as before, walked out of the alley slowly while propping up branches, and walked towards the bandits. Sure enough, as Jun Ming said, they were looking for newcomers, and a bandit saw them from a long distance away. After observing them for a while, he said something to his companion and pointed to them. His companion also looked over, nodded, and then walked over together to stop Liu Lingyan and the others.

Liu Lingyan and Yang Xixue pretended not to pay attention to their actions, and continued to walk towards them. They didn't stop until they were stopped. Authentic: "Please, may I ask... what's the matter, sir? I and my two brothers escaped from Gansu with nothing, no, no money."

A bandit laughed and said, "Do you think we are blind? We know you have no money at a glance. What we want is not your money, but your people."

Liu Lingyan said as if he didn't understand what he meant: "Scared?"

Yang Xixue also showed vigilance, and pulled Liu Lingyan back, but was blocked by another bandit. Yang Xixue looked at them vigilantly and asked, "What are you going to do?"

The bandit who blocked their retreat also said with a playful smile: "What are we going to do? What can we do to you, can we marry you back as daughters-in-law?" He touched Yang Xixue's face with his hand and talked with other bandits. laugh it out.

Liu Lingyan lowered his head and clenched his fists, resisting the urge to slap the bandit's dirty hands away, and then beat him up.

Yang Xixue stared at him fiercely, not daring to speak.

The bandits, who were too scared to speak, laughed even more heartily.

A bandit who had been behind the other bandits came up and said: "Enough, it's important to do serious things. When those soldiers come later, they will be troublesome. Take them back quickly."
