The Bandit’s Strategy

[Chapter 47-Going to the Back Mountain Together] Just carried it out

In order not to startle the snake, the two did not enter the village openly, but secretly investigated. Dinner was supposed to be the busiest time, but the village of Wuniu was quiet, and the doors of every household were closed. If it were not for the smoke from the kitchen, it would almost be considered an uninhabited village.

"It seems that the people are also scared." Lu Chai said, "Otherwise, they wouldn't stay behind closed doors so early."

Zhao Yue walked in with him, and finally reached a... cliff.

"No wonder the local officials have nothing to do and report to the vast city as a pending case." Lu Chai said, "The small mountain village above the cliff, there must be no outsiders coming. It was calm and peaceful, but suddenly seven or eight scorched corpses appeared outside the village. Don’t say it’s to find out the identity. I don’t even understand how it appeared, so I don’t want to be overwhelmed."

"Since it is a cliff, that can also explain one thing." Zhao Yue said, "The corpses have either been hidden in the village and were not thrown out until a few days ago, or they have not passed through Wuniu Village at all, but by The other road was abandoned in the wild vegetable field on the outskirts of the city. Which one do you think is more likely?"

"I don't know for sure now, but I always feel that in such a small village, it is a bit difficult to hide seven or eight corpses." Lu Chase said, "I can't ask, I have to go back to the village and check again to see if I can. There can be no clues."

Zhao Yue nodded and returned to Wuniu Village with him.

As the night darkened, the village became quieter and quieter. After the last light went out, there was not even a trace of movement. Even the occasional crying of children was quickly stopped by the adults.

Zhao Yue and Lu chased for the whole night, from the sky full of stars to the rising sun, there was no abnormality.

In the evening five days later, Wen Liunian was drinking tea in the mansion, and the dark guard came to pass the message, saying that Zhao Yue and Lu Zhui had returned to the Shang mansion.

"Really?" Wen Liunian was overjoyed when he heard the words, put down his teacup and hurried over, without even having time to add his coat.

"My lord." Lu Chai stood up.

"Thanks for your hard work." Wen Liunian said, "Where is the master, why didn't he come back together?"

Hearing the words and tusk, the dark guard asked about Zhao Da's house without first asking about the case, whether he still remembered that he was a prefect who loved the people like a child.

This progress is really great, and we have started to discuss how much gift money should be given.

"The master is back, and he should be in the bedroom." Lu Chai said, "Don't worry, your lord."

"Injured?" Wen Liunian was worried when he heard the words, "Why go to the bedroom as soon as I come back." It's not his usual style at all.

"I didn't get hurt." Lu Chai said, "It's just... not in a good mood."

Wen Liunian wondered, in a bad mood?

The reason why Zhao Da is in a bad mood is actually very simple. Because the two guarded in Wuniu Village for three full days, they didn't get any useful clues. The whole village was at sunrise and then at sunset. Except for some people panicking, there was no abnormality at all, let alone finding out the secret behind the corpse.

"Everything in the village is as usual, so we went back to the place where the corpse was thrown." Lu Chase said, "but we still didn't find anything, I'm afraid we will disappoint the adults."

"Second master, you are polite." Wen Liunian hurriedly waved his hand, "I couldn't be anxious to solve the case. If the two can help each other, the official is already grateful, and how can I be disappointed."

"I'm afraid this case won't be solved so easily." Lu Chase said, "If there is a need in the future, you can do whatever you want."

"Thank you Er Master." Wen Liunian nodded.

"The housekeeper just came and said that the food in the hall is ready." Huatang entered the door and said, "Second Master has been working **** this trip. Let's take a rest early with something to eat."

"Then I won't bother." Wen Liunian stood up when he heard the words.

Lu asked, "Is your lord busy now?"

Wen Liunian shook his head, "Not too busy."

Lu Zhui said, "The master didn't eat either."

Wen Liunian:...

In the Shangfu guest room, Zhao Yue was sitting at the table, wiping the Jiyue knife carefully.

The yard creaked and pushed away, and then there was a sound of footsteps, very quiet.

Zhao Yue's expression froze slightly.

"Master." Wen Liunian knocked on the door.

Zhao Yue put down the Jiyuedao, got up and opened the door.

Wen Liunian squinted at him with a smile.

"Something?" Zhao Yue asked.

"Can't you come if you have nothing to do?" Wen Liunian asked.

Zhao Yue is speechless.

"I'm here to thank you." Wen Liunian said.

"It didn't help you again." Zhao Yue turned and returned to the table.

"With this kind of heart, I am already very grateful." Wen Liunian followed, sitting opposite him and said seriously, "Thank you."

Zhao Yue continued to wipe the knife, "I just take it out to relax."

"Do you want to eat?" Wen Liunian asked.

Zhao Yue shook his head, "Go eat."

Wen Liunian said, "I will cook it for you."

Zhao Yue:...

"Wait for a while." Wen Liunian stood up and walked out, "I'll be fine soon."

"Nerdy." Zhao Yue stopped him.

"Huh?" Wen Liunian stopped.

"Don't do it." Zhao Yue said, "Take you out to eat."

"Go out?" Wen Liunian was a little surprised, "but the people in the city recognize you."

Zhao Yue looked at him amused, "Do you still know about this?"

Wen Liunian:...

We were unfamiliar at the time!

"Let's go." Zhao Yue picked up the knife.

Wen Liunian still hesitated, "but—"

"I won't go where there are people." Zhao Yue interrupted him.

Wen Liunian wondered, "If there are no people, how can I eat?"

Zhao Yue asked, "Will you go?"

Wen Liunian:...

go with!

After a while, the two reached the backyard of Shang Mansion, and Wen Liunian reached out his hand obediently.

Zhao Yue picked him up with one hand and jumped out of the courtyard wall.

The dark guard squatted on the book and ate sunflower seeds, and took it out.

…

Cangmang City is small, but there are also small benefits. It is easy to get out of the city. Coupled with Zhao Yueqing's outstanding achievements, the two of them arrived at the outskirts of the city in no time and entered the Cangmang Mountain in the twilight.

"Going to eat white fish again?" Wen Liunian asked.

"Change another." Zhao Yue took him inside.

"Will you meet someone from the Tiger Head Gang?" Wen Liunian was a little worried.

Zhao Yue said, "Yes."

Wen Liunian:...

Zhao Yue laughed, "Nerd."

Wen Liunian rubbed his nose, "If only I could meet it, I just fainted and brought it home!"

"It's up to you?" Zhao Yue pulled his hair.

"No." Wen Liunian shook his head, "It's up to you."

Master Zhao is in a good mood.

"Where are you going?" After walking for a while, Wen Liunian felt a little tired.

"The turn is here." Zhao Yue said.

Wen Liunian agreed, and continued to walk a mountain road with him, but there was still nothing after turning.

"Left." Zhao Yue reminded.

Wen Liunian turned his head and saw that there was a dangerous **** next to him, or simply said it was a sinkhole, the night was so faint that he could hardly see the end, so his instinct was dizzy.

"Afraid?" Zhao Yue asked.

"What's delicious here?" Wen Liunian took two steps back.

"Why not?" Zhao Yue calmly said, "eat you."

Wen Liunian:...

Zhao Yue held him up and jumped down.

Wen Liunian was shocked, and he instinctively clasped his neck tightly, with the buzz of wind in his ears, he couldn't help closing his eyes tightly.

"Here." After falling on a piece of grass, Zhao Yue placed him on the ground.

Wen Liunian was still in shock, opening his eyes still a little dizzy.

Zhao Yue bends down slightly and stares at him, "Are you scared?"

Wen Liunian's heart was pounding, and when he looked up, he saw the darkness, and he couldn't tell where he came from.

Zhao Yue found some dry firewood from around and lit it to make a torch.

Wen Liunian was still looking around.

"Don't walk around." Zhao Yue frowned, "Be careful of falling down."

"Where did we jump off just now?" Wen Liunian asked, pointing to the top.

"Otherwise?" Zhao Yue was on fire.

"Sure enough, the master's light work." Wen Liunian exclaimed.

Zhao Yue felt a little smug in his heart.

"But what's delicious here?" Wen Liunian was still thinking about this question.

"This place is called Ghost Stream." Zhao Yue stood up.

Wen Liunian's back was tingling, "This name is really..." Very scary.

"When he was in Chaomuya earlier, Lu Zhui would often come here to practice exercises and rest." Zhao Yue said, "It's very hidden, and it's impossible for outsiders to find out."

Wen Liunian nodded, "Yes." But he still didn't mention what he ate!

"Come on." Zhao Yue held a torch in one hand, and pulled him with the other hand, walking along the stream together.

Wen Liunian was a little surprised. He didn't see clearly before, and only found out that he was close to him. There was a cave behind the thatch. It was very clean after entering. There were ready-made firewood and spices. Corn and dried meat were hanging on the wall. Pots and bowls. Everything is readily available, and there is even a bed when you look inside.

"Lu Zhui's previous experience was very complicated, and he had a lot of thoughts." Zhao Yue said, "Once he feels aggrieved, he will stay here for a period of time, so he has everything he should have."

"It's great." Wen Liunian helped him build a fire, "like a paradise."

Zhao Yue washed the pot, cooked some rice to make porridge, and roasted dried meat on the fire.

"It smells good." Wen Liunian sat by the fire and sniffed, his stomach groaning.

Zhao Yue fiddled with the fire and said, "Wait for Qing to get rid of the tiger head gang, next time I will take you to fight the pheasant."

"Okay." Wen Liunian smiled and stretched out his hand to warm himself.

Seeing his thin clothes, Zhao Yue took off his robe and wrapped him up.

"Such a happy life is also good." Wen Liunian said, "No matter what happens outside, you can live in the mountains with peace of mind."

"Don't want to be an official?" Zhao Yue blew the dried meat.

"I also think that being an official has the fun of being an official." Wen Liunian said, "People can't have everything."

Zhao Yue handed him the dried meat, "Be careful."

Wen Liunian took a bite. The slices of meat were thin and dry, so the grilled was very crispy. Compared with the barbecue in the restaurant, it was a bit more game, so he smiled and said, "It's delicious."

"Lu Chaizui Diao, what he likes is naturally not bad." Zhao Yue took a bowl, "This is Huatian rice, and porridge will have a special aroma."

"The second master will really live." Wen Liunian said with emotion, "Whoever marries him is really blessed."

Zhao Yue was quite dissatisfied when he heard that he had a meal.

What are the nerds thinking in their heads, what's worth marrying? !
