Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

As they spoke, fear and doubt pierced through everyone's chest like the cold wind.

They had been waiting for nearly an hour, and apart from the sound of the wind, there was endless silence.

Captain Fang Quan looked around from time to time, hoping to catch a glimpse of life in the darkness, but he waited for nothing except the increasingly dark night.

The uneasiness in his heart grew like weeds, and his determination began to waver. He wondered if this action was too reckless.

The cause of this incident is actually full of weirdness.

During the day, the county magistrate received a mysterious tip-off, which stated that there was a bandits' lair hidden in Black Dragon Mountain, and the person who delivered the letter also strongly invited the county magistrate to go in person to negotiate.

This county magistrate, who is deeply loved by the people, is determined to keep his promise even in the face of unknown risks, demonstrating his sincere heart that puts the people first.

However, as time passed and the moon climbed up to the treetops, the so-called transaction was like an illusion and never appeared.

The officers went from initial doubt to complete disbelief.

If there were bandits causing chaos in this tiny Chengguan County, how could they possibly hide it from them, who were born and raised here?

Moreover, Chengguan County is poor, and after the snowstorm, it is difficult to make a living. How could any bandits be willing to live here and try to make hopeless money?

Fang Quan and his group's hearts were filled with confusion. With every second of waiting, anxiety and irritability surged in like a tide.

Finally, Fang Quan couldn't help but speak up and questioned the true intention of the messenger: "How powerful is that messenger that can make you abandon your prudence and go to such an unclear appointment with just a piece of paper?"

Long Yi accompanied everyone through the long night. He was well aware of everyone's impatience, but the unique mark on the envelope made it impossible for him to ignore it easily.

Even though he was full of doubts, he still chose to remain silent.

Noticing the fatigue and dissatisfaction in the eyes of the people around him, Long Yi pondered for a while and was about to suggest extending the waiting time. Suddenly, a few beams of flickering flames in the distance broke the silence and interrupted his words.

Everyone looked in the direction of the firelight and saw a group of people approaching rapidly in an orderly manner and in unison in the depths of the inky night.

Long Yi was stunned at first, but then he suddenly realized what was going on the moment he saw the visitor's face.

Aren’t these the villagers of Zhangjia Village mentioned in the letter!

Although he had little interaction with the Zhang family, he still remembered the image of Zhang Rui, the son of the village chief.

And at this moment, the most incredible thing is that Zhang Rui silently followed the young woman who was holding a torch, had a graceful demeanor, and held a huge blade in her hand that was extremely disproportionate to her gentle image!

Long Yi frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, the Zhangjia Village team approached and asked first, "Are you the helpers summoned by Mr. Zhou?"

When these words were spoken, the officers were all shocked. After all, the purpose of this trip was to capture bandits. Long Yi considered it again and again, and in order to avoid the officers' uniforms revealing their whereabouts and scaring away the bandits, he had ordered everyone to change into civilian clothes in advance.

Unexpectedly, although they deliberately changed their attire, thinking that they could hide from the cunning bandits, they never imagined that they would lead the simple and honest people of Zhangjia Village into the fog instead.

Upon seeing this, Fang Quan hurriedly wanted to step forward to clarify the true identity of their team, and planned to mention the powerful magistrate behind them as a deterrent, hoping to make this group of loosely organized and disorganized villagers realize the current serious situation and have a clear understanding of the upcoming bandit cleanup operation.

The four words "mob" are Fang Quan's intuitive evaluation of the people of Zhangjia Village.

Not to mention that the villagers were holding farm tools for plowing and weeding, which seemed out of place. What was even more surprising was that the thin woman at the front of the team, surrounded by the crowd, her seemingly fragile but resolute figure seemed particularly abrupt and powerless in this tense atmosphere.

Fang Quan originally thought that with the attention and support of the county magistrate, he had high hopes for this bandit suppression operation. However, when his eyes fell on Xu Liyun, who stood resolutely in front of everyone with a calm and confident look in command, his expectations instantly turned into absurd irony.

Just as he frowned and was about to say something, Long Yi on the side keenly noticed Fang Quan's intention and quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Long Yi silently repeated the three words "Mr. Zhou" in his heart. Although he had never met him before, a coincidence made him know that Mr. Zhou's wet nurse also had the surname Zhou. This sudden information made him hesitate before taking action.

Therefore, Long Yi decided not to reveal his identity directly, but cleverly took over Xu Liyun's words: "It was indeed Mr. Zhou who sent us to help, why are you all so slow to act? Have you forgotten that the purpose of our trip is to defeat the bandits in one fell swoop?"

Facing the doubt, Xu Liyun answered firmly: "It is precisely because we have to deal with mountain bandits that we choose to act late at night. Those bandits usually launch attacks on dark and windy nights, and they would never expect that we villagers would be so brave and dare to take the initiative to attack. They indulge in alcohol and sex during the day, and are even less prepared at night, and most of them are already drowsy. This is the best time for a night attack!"

Although Xu Liyun's words sounded reasonable, Fang Quan always felt that they were a bit far-fetched.

Due to the presence of Long Yi, he did not express his displeasure directly. He could only watch Xu Liyun calmly redeploy the troops, placing these so-called "elite soldiers" at the end of the team, while those villagers who only knew how to farm and had never really touched a gun were pushed to the front line against the bandits.

Fang Quan couldn't help but wonder if this woman named Xu Liyun had some unspeakable hatred towards Zhangjia Village and deliberately set up a trap to put the villagers in crisis.

However, this suspicion soon disappeared because Xu Liyun volunteered to serve as the vanguard of the team!

This bold decision not only shocked Fang Quan, but also made the usually calm Long Yi frown, wondering: "Is this formation too rash? The men I brought are obviously better at fighting against the bandits. And you, Jiang..."

Xu Liyun interrupted gently, her tone calm, "I have my reasons for making this arrangement. You just need to stabilize the front line in the rear and block all the retreat routes of Black Dragon Village to prevent anyone from escaping."

As soon as the words fell, a sharp light flashed in Xu Liyun's eyes, and even Fang Quan, who was always conceited, couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Since you were sent by Mr. Zhou, you should know that the people hiding in Black Dragon Village are all fugitives. These people don't even take the officials who escort them seriously. If you let them go, the surrounding villages will surely suffer. I think you must have something special to be valued by Mr. Zhou. Dealing with a few escaped fish is just a piece of cake for you."
