From the moment they caught up with the woman, Lian Li discovered that the woman was similar to Ma Tie, the type who was good at Qinggong but not very good at martial arts, and had some internal strength but not much.

It's a wild way.

If she wasn't lying, it was probably the hero her father rescued who mainly taught her Qinggong, giving her more survival skills.

"Hero Lian has arranged it very well." Yun Huizhou said with a smile, supporting his face while sitting at the table.

Lian Li was annoyed by his teasing, so he grabbed his shoes and threw them at Yun Huizhou: "I'm talking about business, don't be so careless."

Yun Huizhou tilted his head to avoid the flying shoe. After the shoe fell to the ground, he raised his hand and pointed his five fingers in the direction of the shoe, and the shoe flew from the ground into his hand.

He took the shoes and walked to the bed, put them on the ground, and said, "I am very serious. Master Lian has indeed arranged it very well. I will follow Master Lian's instructions when the time comes."

"You!" Lian Li felt a little angry, but not really angry.

Finally, he raised his foot and kicked Yun Huizhou's thigh, saying, "Won't you give me some details? I have never suppressed bandits before. What if I missed something?"

"Just do it boldly and it will be done." Yun Huizhou grabbed his ankle, moved his legs away and continued, "I'll cover you if anything goes wrong. Finish it first and then think about what went wrong. Just remember not to make the same mistake next time."

Hearing what he said, Lian Li retracted his leg a little embarrassedly, thinking that he shouldn't have kicked Yun Huizhou.

He moved inside and whispered, "Okay, that's it for now. Get some rest. We'll be taking action tonight."

Lian Li slept soundly and only woke up when Yun Huizhou called him.

He felt his nose was a little itchy. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yun Huizhou sitting beside the bed. His hair was in his hand, and he was now using it to scratch his nose.

He tilted his head to avoid it, and then said with a nasal voice as if he had just woken up: "No, it's so itchy, I want to sneeze."

Yun Huizhou returned the hair to him, grabbed his hand, pulled him up and said, "Hurry up, it's almost time, eat something and we'll be ready to go."

Because they had an important event in the evening, the two did not dare to eat greasy food. Lian Li was full after drinking a bowl of porridge and eating two meat pies.

Yun Huizhou saw that there were still two meat pies left, so he took out a paper bag, wrapped them up and stuffed them into his arms.

He looked at Lian Li and said, "There will be more activities at night, so you will have something to eat when you are hungry."

After packing up everything they needed, the two of them went downstairs, checked out of the inn, and headed towards Xiyang Mountain, leading their horses.

The two came to the vicinity of Xiyang Mountain. There were not many villages here, and they all looked very deserted, completely different from the bustling small town.

After walking a little further, I found that the people in one village had not returned home to rest at this time. From a distance, I could see fires everywhere in the village.

The two men looked at each other, put their horses away from the village, and then flew over to check the situation.

The village is populated by ordinary residents, and even Lian Li's level is considered a very powerful martial arts master in their eyes.

Therefore, when they landed silently on the tree next to the square where the villagers gathered, none of the dozens of villagers noticed them.

Lian Li was very curious about why the villagers gathered here so late at night. He originally wanted to go down and ask about the situation and also ask about the situation of the bandits in Xiyang Mountain, but he was stopped by Yun Huizhou.

Yun Huizhou just pulled him and shook his head at him. He didn't tell him the reason directly, but gestured for him to eavesdrop on the situation first.

Lian Li patiently listened to the villagers talking below.

"Has Wang Er's wife not been found yet?" An old man who looked to be in his sixties, sitting on a stone bench nearby, asked this question.

"No." A middle-aged man said, "We went up the mountain to look for it, but we didn't dare go too deep, for fear of..."

The old man waved his hands and sighed, "I know, those beasts! When will this day end?"

He sat on the stone bench, and at this moment his body was more hunched than before.

The middle-aged man also said, "It would be great if someone could wipe out this group of damned bandits. So many people have died in our village in just the past six months."

This was just the beginning, and many of the villagers who had been silent before began to speak, talking about their experiences in the past six months and the harm that had happened to their family members.

"Let's go." After a long while, the old man spoke again: "I still have a good mat. Let's bury Wang Er tomorrow. As for the other things, you can take care of them for him. Keep it simple."

"As for his kid, he lost his parents all of a sudden. We are from the same village, so you guys should take care of him. If it really doesn't work, I'll see if we can send him to his maternal grandparents' home."

After hearing these words, Lian Li glanced around the square. Sure enough, although this group of villagers were standing in random positions, they tacitly left the middle position empty.

After some people gradually dispersed, he could see clearly that the man surrounded by the villagers was a man who had already died.

He had several wounds on his body caused by sharp weapons, the most fatal of which was a wound on his chest so deep that the bone was visible.

Lian Li subconsciously held his breath. The murdered male villager named Wang Er and his wife who got lost in the mountains reminded him of the bandits on Xiyang Mountain.

It also allowed him to roughly figure out what happened.

Wang Er's wife disappeared, so Wang Er went to look for her but was killed by bandits.

The villagers brought Wang Er's body back. Although they organized people to go up the mountain to look for him, they did not dare to go too far for fear of encountering bandits.

As for why Wang Er ran into the bandits, it must be because Wang Er was walking towards the direction where the bandits were.

Why did he go that way... Because he suspected that his daughter-in-law was kidnapped by bandits.

It seems that although the number of bandits is not large, they have also caused a great impact on the nearby villages.

In particular, when some people occupy the mountains and become bandits, there may be some people in the persecuted villages who also want to go up the mountain and live a good life with the boss.

Many bandits, who started out with only a few dozen men, grew and prospered by bullying the villages and winning over the young and strong as well as the scoundrels and hooligans in the village.

Especially those who are not married will join with a little inducement.

Of course, there are also some people who abandon their wives and children, and don't care about their parents, just to go up the mountain to become bandits and live a good life.

Anyway, the bandits were growing very fast. Lian Li knew that if they didn't wipe out this group of bandits while their forces were still small, within a year, their number would exceed a hundred, and there would be basically no one left in these villages.

The two men returned to the original place and found their horses, and continued to go to Xiyang Mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they got off the horses and prepared to use light skills to climb the mountain in the dark.
