On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, a robbery occurred in the outskirts of Linzhou. A tall and strong bandit took a few ragged brothers and robbed a young merchant.

That young peddler made a living by selling some inferior soaps. The bandit didn't look like a good guy, so he robbed even such a small peddler.

That bandit was a vicious one. He robbed the family and tied up the boy and dragged him away. There was a lot of commotion, and the bandit leader Zou Daha of Guiya Mountain was alarmed. Zou Daha immediately brought some capable men to check .

He ordered his men to surround the group of people, pointed to the bandit leader and asked, "This brother has a tight face, where did he come from?"

Cheng Jiu answered in a rough voice, "Brother,? Over there in Lizhou? Something happened in the village and there was no way out. Come out and pick up some loose jobs. It's convenient."

As he said, he threw a small sign over. Zou Daha saw it. It was indeed the identity card of the gangsters in Lizhou. Lizhou was rounded up by the government because they wanted to kill a group of wealthy businessmen for collecting money. The dead fled. Some escaped, and it is not surprising that there are a few living on the streets.

Zou Daha sneered and said, "The minions from Lizhou dare to come to our Linzhou to grab business? They really want to die!"

Cheng Jiu quickly explained: "It's not to grab business, it's just that the weather is getting colder, and the brothers have no place to spend the winter,? I want to slaughter a fat sheep as a gift for Boss Zou, and ask Boss Zou to take one or two."

Zou Daha raised his eyebrows: "Are you here for refuge?"

Cheng Jiu: "Exactly."

Zou Daha saw that he was strong and strong, but he was also a little moved. He pointed to the little fat sheep Bai Li who was tied up and said: "This is the fat sheep you mentioned?"

Cheng Jiu: "We squatted for a few days, and there is only one person with goods, it's Zao, I think I can make some money."

Zou Daha is still very clear about how easy the soap business is at the moment. He rolled his eyes, and someone pulled out the cloth from Bai Li's mouth, and asked, "Are you in the soap business?"

Bai Li nodded quickly, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I have a source of goods, I can get soap, if the boss saves me, I swear we will do this business together in the future, you seven and three!"

Zou Daha is not stupid, and he doesn't know how to open his eyes. He took everyone back, detained them separately for two days, and talked with him twice. After discussing with his confidants, he decided to keep Bai Li and his two buddies. , Throwing Cheng Jiu and others into the dungeon.

This was Bai Li's plan. No matter who was chosen between him and Cheng Jiu, one of them would always be thrown into the dungeon. According to what they knew, Zhu Peizhi and others were locked in the dungeon.

Bai Li was called to drink by Zou Daha, and Cheng Jiu and a few fellows were thrown into the dungeon. As soon as the young man turned around, Cheng Jiu pulled out a thin wire from his hair, and neatly untied the inferior chain.

He and a few guys held their breath and searched the dungeon lightly. There were not many people in the dungeon, and they found Zhu Peizhi within a few minutes.

Zhu Peizhi's condition looked very bad. It was obvious that he had been severely tortured, and his body was covered in bruises. Xiao Liu'er was feeding him water bit by bit.

Cheng Jiu threw a pebble into it, Xiao Liu'er saw him immediately, and Xiao Liu'er almost screamed out, but fortunately he was still quick-witted, so he covered his mouth and crawled to Cheng Jiu'er quietly. Stepping up to him, he asked, "Ninth Brother, why are you here?"

Cheng Jiu made a long story short: "Xiaobai's plan, we will find a way to get you out, and tell me about your situation."

Xiao Liu'er's eyes were red, and he said quickly in a low voice: "Young master has found some evidence of corruption, and that's why he's in trouble. He's not in a good condition now."

"How many people are there in this group of bandits?"

"Only we saw forty or fifty."

Cheng Jiu nodded. At this time, there was a sound outside the door. He quickly returned to his cell and squatted down, locking the lock.

A few gangsters came to make a round of inspections and then went back to continue drinking. Later, Bai Li came and taunted Cheng Jiu and his party before leaving.

Zou Daha wanted Bai Li to show his sincerity. Bai Li proposed to do a business first, and then talk about it after the money is in hand. Zou Daha meant that. He just asked his two buddies to bring a few bandits to do it, but Bai Li himself It is to be buckled on the mountain.

Bai Li expressed his dissatisfaction for a while, and when enough was enough, he asked his two subordinates to take the two bandits away. Bai Shun and others who had already prepared over there saw them go down the mountain, and immediately delivered a batch of goods according to the original plan. The bandits saw Soap, feeling at ease, took it to the city and sold it for money, and then returned to the mountain happily.

Zou Daha verified Bai Li's words, felt more at ease, and set up a banquet to celebrate. The wine table culture in Xiqin is very good, drinking is not allowed before the age of 20, Bai Li is too young to drink, even the bandits did not force him Yes, only let the two guys around him drink one cup after another.

The bandits prefer this kind of extensive banquet, and after drinking it, it will be the climax of the moon. Bai Li is about to implement the plan, when suddenly someone shouts: "The officers and soldiers are here!"

Zou Daha was completely drunk due to the cold sweat, so he drew his knife on the spot and slashed at Bai Li. Bai Li reacted quickly, and after several months of boxing and kicking lessons from the guards at home, he dodged the knife nimbly.

He had no illusions about this group of vicious thugs, and immediately drew a big knife from the waist of a drunken bandit and slashed at it.

His two buddies are both kung fu, and the banquet hall was in chaos.

Cheng Jiu, who was in the dungeon, had already put down the guards. Xiao Liu'er followed behind them with Zhu Peizhi on his back, and was attacked as soon as he left the dungeon door.

Cheng Jiu yelled: "No, why did the fight start? This wasn't our plan. Something must have happened. I'm going to copy the guy and fight with me!"

Their plan is that Bai Li is responsible for dragging down the bandit army, Cheng Jiu takes Zhu Peizhi and the others down the mountain quietly, joins up with Bai Shun who stays at the foot of the mountain, and then rescues Bai Li while the bandits are asleep. It doesn't matter at all, there are more than 20 of them staying at the foot of the mountain, and they can always get out if they fight hard.

But now something happened, there were only three of Bai Li and the others, fighting with those bandits would not be good, Cheng Jiu was so anxious that he took a knife and slashed all the way to search for Bai Li.

However, even adding a few of them was useless, the bandits quickly gained the upper hand, Zou Daha shouted angrily to kill them, Bai Li was injured a little, Cheng Jiu and others also died, and Xiao Liuer carried It is not easy for Zhu Peizhi to avoid being chased and killed, but also to be careful of Zhu Peizhi's wounds.

They were completely on the disadvantaged side. At the critical moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The head of the family, hurry up, the officers and soldiers are coming up!"

Zou Daha ignored Bai Li and the others, and ran away with them.

There was a noisy fight not far away, Bai Li turned his head, and saw a group of soldiers in light armor rushing up the mountain, and soon the mountains and plains were full of officers and soldiers, the bandits were arrested without a fight, and Bai Li and others were also controlled.

Bai Li said quickly: "We are not bandits, we are good citizens, didn't you see those bandits want to kill us!"

The officers and soldiers were cold-faced, unmoved, and escorted all the people they found on the mountain all the way down the mountain. Their actions were quite rough. Bai Li was pushed several times and squatted down, feeling very dissatisfied.

He kept on explaining, "We're really not bandits, we're from Chengzhou, we're just soap vendors!"

The officers and soldiers found the bandit badge on Cheng Jiu, and continued to push them away.

Bai Li: "..."

He couldn't argue, and said, "We're really not bandits. If you don't believe me, ask—"

The words stopped abruptly.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and there was a mist at the foot of the mountain. In the winter, there was a feeling of desolation. The cold wind blew over Bai Li's brows and eyes, and the misty white mist faded away. Bai Li's eyes widened, unable to speak a word.

The official road at the foot of the mountain had already been blocked by the army at some point. Several officials rode majestic horses, and the leader was surrounded by the crowd, which was particularly conspicuous.Falling leaves in winter, desolate wilderness, the man is dressed in a fierce red official robe, a pure white and luxurious fox fur, a jade crown and hair, the breeze and the moon, Fengshen is handsome, with a natural nobility , people can't take their eyes away when they see it at a glance.

How could it be him—

Bai Li froze on the spot, and the officer behind him roughly pushed him. With his hands tied behind his back, he staggered and almost fell directly in front of Ye Tinglan's horse, performing a five-body throw.

It also successfully caught Ye Tinglan's attention.

Although the young man in front of him was embarrassed and haggard, his face was covered with mud and blood, Mr. Ye, who had sharp eyes, recognized him at a glance, and seemed a little surprised: "Isn't this Mr. Bai Xiaolang from Chengzhou?"

Bai Li: "..."

In fact, I don't want to be recognized by this fairy brother in this situation!

Ye Tinglan smiled gently: "Why is Mr. Bai Xiaolang here?"

Bai Li could only answer: "My friend was taken captive, and I came to rescue him."

Ye Tinglan glanced at Bai Shun, Cheng Jiu and the others who were also tied up, and praised: "It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and their courage is commendable."

Bai Li's ears twitched, he always felt that this was not a good thing to say.

Ye Tinglan ordered them to be released, and asked the officers and soldiers to search the mountain again. After confirming that no one had escaped, he took everyone back to Linzhou City.

Bai Li and others were placed in the residence of Ye Tinglan and his party. It was a large courtyard, and they were only allocated a small courtyard, which was enough for them to settle down.

The immediate priority is Zhu Peizhi's injuries. He looks delirious, and some wounds have festered and inflamed.

Ye Tinglan called a military doctor for him. The military doctor saw many kinds of wounds, and after investigating, he reported: "My lord, the wounds look scary, but they are all flesh wounds, not any bones. I have some medicine here, just use it." It can be better, but this medicine is strong, it heals quickly, and it is mild, and it heals relatively slowly, I don’t know which kind do you want?"

Ye Tinglan still looked as gentle as jade, and asked very politely: "If you let him wake up, what will be the consequences?"

The military doctor's face remained unchanged: "It's okay."

Ye Tinglan nodded: "Then it will be strong."

The military doctor took a large red medicine bottle and handed it over, saying, "This is medicine for external application, and there are some medicines for internal use. I'll go and prescribe it."

Ye Tinglan was grateful: "It's time to work."

He handed the bottle of medicine to Dong Xiyu casually. Dong Xiyu pulled out the stopper and was about to sprinkle it on Zhu Peizhi's horrific wound. No more medicine."

Ye Tinglan smiled gently: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Deng said that nothing will happen." He seemed to have thought about it seriously, and then smiled: "It is supposed to inform him of the good news of his salvation in advance."

As he spoke, he bent his white jade-like knuckles, and flicked lightly at the bottom of the overturned bottle——

Bai Li watched in horror as the white powder fluttered and melted onto Zhu Peizhi's horrific wound. Almost at the next moment, Zhu Peizhi, who was in a coma, howled like killing a pig, his eyes widened like copper bells, his face was pale, and he was sweating coldly. Dripping, as if he had been tortured.

Ye Tinglan changed his gentle face, fixed his eyes on Zhu Peizhi, and said quickly: "Young Master Zhu, where is the brocade box you brought out from the room of Ke Congshan, the prefect of Linzhou?"

Zhu Peizhi clenched his teeth and stared at Ye Tinglan, unable to speak a word due to the pain.

Ye Tinglan remained expressionless and said, "If you don't want to wake up again, just say so."

Knowing that there is nothing to love, Zhu Pei squeezed out an indistinct place name from between his teeth, and Ye Tinglan's brows and eyes softened all of a sudden, and he said softly, "Thank you, sweet dream."

Zhu Peizhi didn't know whether he was angry, weak, or in pain. He rolled his eyes and passed out.

Xiao Liu'er trembled, Bai Shun's clothes were soaked in cold sweat, Ye Tinglan didn't even look at it, turned around and took Dong Xiyu away quickly, as if he just came to drink tea.

Bai Li: "..."

I...why do I like this guy?

The author has something to say: Bai Li: What on earth did I see in him?

Ye Tinglan was surprised: Isn't it because of the color?

Thank you little angels for your support, see you tomorrow.
