Chapter 690 Destroying the Bandit Den

Xi Yu nodded slightly.

"Linlin is right, fighting hard is not the answer. I think we should disguise ourselves first and find a suitable time to approach them."

Everyone fell into deep thought and began to think about specific plans.

After a while, Tuobayu said: "Then I will prepare some necessary things, such as self-defense weapons."

Ouyang Linlin also said: "I will go to the nearby area and ask for more detailed information about the bandits' den."

Xi Yu urged: "Be careful, don't jump into the grass and scare the snake."

So, everyone split up and worked hard to uncover this mystery.

As dusk approached, Tuobayu and Ouyang Linlin returned to their residences one after another.

Tuobayu hid the prepared dagger in his sleeve and said, "Everything is ready, but the quality is average. If I really try to use it, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long."

Ouyang Linlin looked a little tired and said: "I heard that the bandit den seems to be preparing for something big recently, and the defense is tighter than usual."

Xi Yu frowned, paced back and forth, and said, "This is not going to be easy. The tight defense means it will be more difficult for us to sneak in."

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden noise outside.

Xi Yu walked to the window warily and looked out cautiously.

The three of them sat together again and began to discuss specific details in a low voice. The sky outside the window gradually darkened.

At night, candlelight flickers in the house. Xi Yu said to the other two people with a serious face: "After thinking about it, maybe this matter has something to do with the treasure."

When Tuobayu and Ouyang Linlin heard this, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.

Tuobayu frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Why do you keep encountering things related to treasures recently?"

Ouyang Linlin also shook her head and said doubtfully: "This is too coincidental."

Xi Yu's eyes were firm, and he clasped his hands on his chest and said, "But I think there is a possibility. The fortune teller and others may be in the same group as the bandit den, knowing that there is treasure here, so they deliberately sent people away, okay? Make it easier for them.”

Tuobayu bit his lip and said, "If this is really the case, then these people are too abominable!"

Ouyang Linlin frowned and said, "Then we can't let them succeed."

Xi Yu nodded and said, "Yes, so we have to find out the truth as soon as possible."

The three of them discussed it for a long time before falling asleep each other until late at night.

The next day, Xi Yu looked at Tuobayu, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong with firm eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I have thought of a way to let you three go to the bandits' den. Of course there will be secret guards guarding you. you."

Tuobayu narrowed his eyes slightly and instantly understood what Xi Yu meant. He nodded and said seriously: "Okay, I understand."

Ouyang Linlin frowned, with a hesitant look on her face, bit her lip, and said worriedly: "Is this... too dangerous?"

Tuobayu raised his eyebrows, glared at Ouyang Linlin, and said firmly: "If you two don't agree, then I'll take the risk myself!"

When Ouyang Linlin heard this, a panicked expression immediately appeared on her face, and she quickly said: "No, no, no, no, I agree, I agree, that's not enough."

Seeing this, Xiaohong on the side could only lower her head helplessly and muttered in a low voice: "Okay, I agree."

Xi Yu looked at them and said solemnly: "You must be careful during this trip. Your own safety is the top priority."

The three of them responded in unison: "Yes!"

So next, three women deliberately came to the door of the bandits' den. They lingered here, looking slightly panicked, and their eyes glanced at the door of the bandits' den from time to time.

After a while, a man with a sinister face came out.

Seeing these three women, a burst of surprise flashed across his face, his eyes glowed greedily, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

Xiaohong pretended to be timid and said with a trembling voice: "Brother, we...we are lost."

The bandit smiled, showing his yellow teeth, and said eagerly: "I'm lost, okay, come on, come on, come in, I will lead you."

Ouyang Linlin and Tuobayu exchanged glances with each other, both showing expressions of fear and hesitation.

Ouyang Linlin tightly grasped the corner of her clothes and said timidly: "This... this is not good. We should wait here."

The bandit's face darkened, and he raised his voice and said, "Come in when you are told, don't be nagging!"

The three women trembled, and could only act reluctantly and helplessly, then slowly walked into the bandit's den.

As soon as the three women entered the bandit's den, the bandit couldn't wait to close the door, the greed in his eyes becoming more and more obvious.

"Hey, three little ladies, we are lucky to be here." The bandit rubbed his hands and approached them step by step.

Tuobayu pretended to be calm, glared at the bandit and said, "Don't mess around, or you'll get a good look!"

The bandit didn't take it seriously and laughed wildly: "Haha, you can't help me when we get here!"

Xiaohong turned pale with fright and hid behind Ouyang Linlin, her voice crying: "Sister, what should I do?"

Ouyang Linlin took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said, "If you dare to touch us, aren't you afraid that someone will come to deal with you?"

The bandit snorted coldly: "Here, I am the king!" As he said this, he reached out to pull them.

At this moment, the secret guards hiding in the dark were waiting for an opportunity.

Tuobayu suddenly shouted loudly: "If you dare to touch us, don't even think about living!"

The bandit was startled by her aura and paused.

Tuobayu then deliberately laughed and said softly: "Since you are here, I will serve you well." When the bandit saw her like this, he grinned and said: "That's right."

After a while, the bandit boss came out, looked at the three of them up and down, and said in a rough voice: "Let these three women accompany the wine." Tuobayu was overjoyed and thought to himself: Isn't this the right time to start a plan? But there was no expression on his face, he just responded obediently: "Yes, brother."

Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong looked at each other, a trace of nervousness flashed in their eyes, but they quickly regained their composure.

They followed Tuobayu and sat down at the wine table.

Tuobayu picked up the jug, poured wine for the bandits, and said with a sweet smile: "Brothers, let's have a drink first."

The bandits laughed and drank from their glasses.

Tuobayu's mission is to get them drunk and then trick them out.

She smiled beautifully and kept toasting to the bandits, saying all kinds of sweet words: "Brothers, I toast you this glass of wine. I wish you have wine and meat every day."

The bandits were so coaxed that they drank one cup after another. Tuobayu himself, however, was just showing off, trying it lightly.

The plan went very smoothly. After a while, several bandits staggered around and were all drunk.

Tuobayu laughed loudly, pointed at them and said: "With this amount of alcohol, you are so incompetent." Her face was full of pride, but a shrewdness flashed in her eyes.

Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong watched nervously and breathed a sigh of relief.

Tuobayu began to ask: "What happened to the bloody disaster in the village? According to the fortune teller, does it have anything to do with your bandit den?"

A drunk man said in a daze: "We are indeed looking for the fortune teller. He is just to get more people in the village to leave this place."

Tuobayu asked: "Why do you want all the villagers to leave?"

The drunkard muttered: "Because this place is a geomantic treasure, we can get more wealth by staying here, and our descendants will benefit."

Tuobayu asked again: "Then what are you going to do next?"

The drunkard said vaguely: "Occupy the village first, and then run it slowly."

Tuobayu continued to test: "That's it? No other plans?"

The drunk man turned over and said impatiently: "Oh, that's it, don't ask."

Tuobayu refused to give up and asked again: "Are there any secrets about the village that are being hidden from us?"

The drunk man groaned: "I've told you all the secrets I have."

Tuobayu gritted his teeth in anger, turned around and exchanged helpless looks with Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong.

Tuobayu calmed down and then asked: "Then are there any treasures in this village?"

The drunk man closed his eyes and muttered: "Treasure? Never heard of it."

Tuobayu raised his voice: "Impossible! You are putting so much effort into it, is there really no treasure?"

The drunk man was so startled by her voice that he half-opened his eyes and said vaguely, "No, why did I lie to you?" After that, he fell asleep again.

Tuobayu was so angry that he stamped his feet and said to Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong: "What can we do? He said there is no treasure. Did we guess wrong?"

Ouyang Linlin frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Maybe he is still hiding it. Let's ask other people."

Xiaohong also echoed: "Yes, maybe others know."

Tuobayu nodded and said firmly, "Okay, then let's go and ask other people."

Tuoba Yu saw that he couldn't ask anything from the drunk man, so he walked towards the other drunk man, squatted down and shook him and asked: "Wake up quickly and tell me, is there any treasure in this village?"

The drunk man struggled to open his eyes and said impatiently: "No, there is no treasure, don't bother me."

Tuobayu asked a few more questions, but still got the same answer.

She stood up, frowned, and murmured to herself: "Is there really no treasure? Maybe we really guessed wrong."

Ouyang Linlin stepped forward and said, "Maybe what they said is true. Let's go back and discuss it with my husband first."

Xiaohong also nodded and said: "Yes, miss, let's go back first."

Tuobayu sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, this is the only way to go."

So, the three women left the bandits' den with doubts.

But after taking a few steps, Ouyang Linlin suddenly stopped and said, "We should find some villagers and let them listen to what these drunkards have to say. The villagers have lived here for many years, and maybe they can get some clues." ”

Tuobayu's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said, "Oh, Linlin, your idea is good, it is indeed a good idea."

So they went to find the few elderly people in the village. Along the way, Tuobayu was still thinking: "I hope I can gain something this time."

Their purpose is to make these elderly people believe that there is no bloody disaster in the village.

When they came to the village and saw some old people, Tuoba Yu had just explained their intention, and the old people waved their hands and said in horror: "Enter the bandits' den? You can't do that, you can't do it!"

Upon seeing this, Tuobayu took a step forward and showed off his martial arts in front of them. His movements were clean and neat, and his heroic spirit was impressive.

Then he said: "Look, elders, I have kung fu, and they are definitely drunkards, and they have no power to fight back. What's so scary?"

Several elders were still a little hesitant and looked at each other.

Ouyang Linlin also hurriedly persuaded: "Grandpas and aunts, let's go and listen, find out the truth, so that everyone can feel at ease."

One of the elders gritted his teeth and said: "Well, the girls are so brave, and we old men can't retreat!" The other elders nodded and agreed to follow them.

A few old men followed into the bandit's nest. They shrank their heads and hesitated. When they just walked in, their bodies were trembling slightly, and several elders were still a little nervous.

Until they went in and saw those people lying in a mess and still drunk, snoring one after another, they relaxed.

Tuoba Yu called another drunk, shook him hard, and asked loudly.

The answer was still the same.

Several elders listened on the side, with disappointed expressions on their faces.

Several old men finally understood. One of them was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, stamped his feet and said, "It turns out that there is no bloody disaster. It's all these people who messed up and caused many young people to leave here!"

Other old men also echoed and cursed the bandits' evil deeds.

Tuoba Yu looked at the angry old men and said, "Now everyone can leave. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time."

The old men nodded and hurriedly left the bandit's nest with Tuoba Yu.

Tuoba Yu and the three women returned to Xi Yu. Tuoba Yu couldn't wait to say, "Husband, this is what happened..." She told him in detail about her experience in the bandit's nest and the results of the inquiry.

After listening, Xi Yu showed a gratified smile on his face and praised, "You did a good job and worked hard!"

Xiao Hong scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "Fortunately, Mrs. Tuoba was brave. My lady and I were almost scared to pee our pants."

Ouyang Linlin gently patted Xiao Hong's head and scolded, "You are the one who talks too much!"

Everyone smiled at each other and the atmosphere became relaxed.

Xiyu smiled and said, "Anyway, we have gained something this time. At least we know that the bloody disaster was fabricated by them. Next, let's think about how to deal with these bandits."

Tuoba Yu nodded and said seriously, "They must have other conspiracies to occupy the village. We can't take it lightly."

Xiyu looked firm and said resolutely, "These bandits are cancer and must be eradicated. I will let the secret guard take my token to the local government and solve this problem quickly."

After that, Xiyu immediately took out the token from his arms and summoned the secret guard with a serious look.

The secret guard knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Master, what do you want?"

Xiyu handed the token to the secret guard and said solemnly, "You quickly take this token to the local government and tell them about the evil deeds of the bandits, so that they can send troops to encircle and suppress them as soon as possible."

The secret guard took the token with both hands and responded, "Master, I will definitely fulfill my mission." Then he turned around and left quickly.

Tuoba Yu looked at the back of the secret guard leaving and said, "I hope these bandits can be dealt with as soon as possible and the village can be peaceful."

Ouyang Linlin also said, "Yes, the villagers have been frightened for long enough."

Xiao Hong echoed on the side, "That's right, those bandits are too hateful."

Xi Yu comforted everyone, "Don't worry, the government will definitely catch them all."

Tuoba Yu nodded and said, "With you here, I believe there will be no problem." His eyes showed his trust in Xi Yu.

Ouyang Linlin also nodded gently and said, "I hope these bandits can be completely eradicated this time, so that the villagers don't have to worry anymore."

Xiao Hong said angrily, "It's better to catch them all and let them get the punishment they deserve!"

After receiving the token, the government quickly dispatched troops to the bandit's nest.

In the end, the bandit's nest was successfully destroyed, and many bandits were captured and taken to jail.

The few old people in the village were overjoyed when they heard the news.

A white-haired old man said excitedly: "I've finally waited for this day. These bandits have caused us so much trouble!" His eyes were shining with joy.

Several old men supported each other and came to Xiyu.

An old man spoke first and said gratefully: "This young master, the bandits were wiped out this time. We old guys know that it must be related to you. I came to express my gratitude to you."

Xiyu smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Old man, this is what I should do, no need to thank you."

Another old man asked curiously: "Young master, what is your origin? Why do you have such ability?"

Xiyu hesitated for a moment and replied: "I do have an official position in the court. It is also fate that I passed by here this time." He deliberately concealed his identity as the prime minister.

The old people listened and nodded in praise.

I saw several old men looking at each other, and they all wanted to kneel down to Xiyu.

Seeing this, Xi Yu hurried forward to support them, saying repeatedly: "Old men, this is not allowed. You are so old, how can you accept such a great gift? Absolutely not!" His face was full of anxiety and distress.

One of the old men said: "Young Master, you are so kind, we have no way to repay you, only this gift can express our gratitude."

Xi Yu waved his hands and said: "Old man, please stand up quickly. This is my job. There is no need to do this."

Xi Yu supported several old people and said gently: "You don't have to be so polite. I just did what I should do."

An old man said with emotion: "Young master is really a good man. We villagers will remember your kindness."

Xi Yu smiled and said: "Old man, you are polite. I just happened to pass by. I am also very happy to be able to do something for everyone." (End of this chapter)
