Chapter 603: Be prepared for danger in times of peace (7)
"Nothing." Shen Siwei turned around and jumped into the deep forest first.
A slightly lower voice floated to her ears with the wind, "Your Highness, please follow."
Sui Zhao followed him quickly, Shuang Xu looked back and followed.
At this moment at dusk, several figures as fast as ghosts flew out from the yard, blended into the clear yellow sunset, and disappeared in the swaying shadows of the trees.
Fusang fell completely into the West Mountain. Tonight the sky in the mountain was overcast and the dark night enveloped it. All that could be seen were the shadows of the mountains like ferocious beasts, swaying in the night wind.
After jumping in the forest for a long time, a whistle sounded from the direction of Shen Siwei. Then he landed and other black shadows flew over. "Sir."
Sui Zhaohe Shuangxu fell to the ground, while the other secret guards hid in the trees.
"Yes." Shen Siwei responded, turned to Sui Zhao, paused for a moment and said, "The plan is to act at 15:30. We need to wait for an hour and a half. If you are tired, you can take a rest."
The secret agents of the Mingcha Division all looked at Sui Zhao, who was brought by the master and treated in such a gentle tone by the master, and they were all a little curious.
But adults have their reasons for doing things.
Sui Zhao nodded, flew to the tree and sprinkled a handful of insect repellent powder, then leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes, "Master Shen, remember to call me."
"Ah."
Shuang Xu also climbed up to join her, took out a thin blanket from the bag on his back and covered Sui Zhao with it, and Sui Zhao gave her half of it.
Jiang Lin recognized it. It was the voice of the girl in Yueqi Tower in Yangzhou more than two months ago.
Jiang Lin walked to Shen Siwei's side and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what is the identity of this girl?"
"Your Excellency." Shen Siwei also climbed up the tree.
For the next hour and a half, there were only the sounds of the wind, insects and birds chirping. The summer night seemed particularly quiet.
Hearing some movement in the tree next to her, Sui Zhao opened her eyes. Shuang Xu quickly rolled up the quilt and stuffed it into the package, then jumped off the tree with her.
But in a moment, Shen Siwei appeared beside Sui Zhao, "Girl, just follow me."
"Okay." Sui Zhao followed him, jumped down the steep slope with him, and stopped after crossing the mountains and ridges for a while.
On the steep cliff, Shen Siwei crouched down and whispered slowly: "This bandit camp has 300 people. They use the natural dangers as a barrier, which makes it easy to defend but difficult to attack. We are on a steep cliff behind the camp. We can use ropes to descend the cliff and attack by confusing them."
"It's a steep cliff and rocks may fall easily. Be careful, girl."
Sui Zhao looked towards the steep cliff beside him and saw many secret agents from the Mingchasi falling down. "Oh, how many of you are there?"
The light of the torches in the village was sparse.
"Thirty, quality is more important than quantity."
Sui Zhao raised his hand and pressed his palm down, "Let Huai Xu and the others help you."
The drugs her father prepared were effective in confusing elephants, and the secret guards had inherited all her father's true skills.
In the unclear night, ten dark shadows quietly flew down along the ropes let down by the secret agents of the Mingchasi.
Sui Zhao moved closer to Shen Siwei, "In this peaceful world, why are they bandits?"
"Yesterday we discovered that they were the remnants of the previous dynasty. They were very good at hiding. At the beginning of the reign of the former emperor, they were the ones who spread the rumors of tyrants in the Lizhou area."
It sounds ridiculous that the desire to restore the country has not died out for more than two hundred years after the previous dynasty was destroyed.
A very crisp bird song came from below, and it was very clear in the darkness.
Shen Siwei jumped down, "I'm going down."
Seeing him dancing so gracefully, Sui Zhao looked at Shuang Xu with expectant eyes. The cliff was very high and her arm strength was not that good.
Shuang Xu received the message, put his arms around her waist, grabbed the rope and took her down.
Shen Siwei stood at the back door of the stronghold, listening to his men reporting the situation. Faint noise could be heard from the stronghold.
As they got closer, Shuang Xu saw Shen Siwei, and he sped up and brought Sui Zhao to the ground, and several pieces of rubble rolled down.
Shen Siwei dodged by moving to the side.
Shuang Xu took back the hand that was around Sui Zhao and said, "I'm sorry, Master Shen."
"Ah."
"Swish!!" The arrow broke through the air, and as the flames flickered, a cold arrow light could be vaguely seen. A sense of threat burned on his forehead. Sui Zhao quickly moved to the side, hoping to avoid the arrow.
As soon as her body was in the air, she felt a strong force coming from the side. Her waist was grasped and she was carried to the side about ten feet away. A strange breath was accompanied by a cry of "excuse me". Then her feet landed on the ground and the figure who had been holding her left and flew quickly to the other side.
Wanjiezhu was originally sleeping on Sui Zhao's shoulder. When he felt a strange breath, he opened his eyes and saw Shen Siwei's face.
An An was hugged by the man outside.
The secret guards had blocked the arrow. Shuang Xu's speed was slightly slower than Shen Siwei. Seeing that Sui Zhao was safe, he quickly ran to her side. Four black shadows fell and surrounded her.
The mountain stronghold has been controlled, and Shen Siwei went to hunt down the escaped fish on the other side of the cliff.
After a near miss, the danger was resolved. Sui Zhao whispered to Shuang Xu, "Shuang Xu, do you think I am unlucky this year?"
Shuang Xu nodded seriously, "Yes! You were caught in a storm while boating on the lake, and it seems that the arrows flying towards you are really unlucky."
"So, it's better for fewer people to join in the fun."
"Do you think you can do it?" The young lady was involved in cases as soon as she stepped out of the house. In the four years since she was released, they have punished many corrupt officials and county tyrants.
"I can't do it. If I really stay at home, I won't be myself anymore." Seeing that the village had been controlled, Sui Zhao went to take a look around.
There were bloodstains on the ground, and many people were lying in all directions, tied up by the secret police and secret guards and dragged to an open area. The mountain stronghold was arranged like a small government office, which was indeed different from ordinary mountain bandits.
Jiang Lin was waking up the man who looked like the bandit leader and interrogating him.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Siwei came in with five people. One of the men looked to be about twenty years old. He was dressed the best and had a gentle face, except that his hair was a little messy.
Shen Siwei threw him to the ground and he fainted.
Shen Siwei looked at Sui Zhao and said, "It will take some time to return. I can only ask you to rest in the village."
Sui Zhao shook his head. "I'm not wronged. I've slept in the wilderness before. How can I feel wronged if I have a house to live in? Besides, it was me who suggested coming to watch the bandit suppression."
They were just watching, the secret guards were the ones doing the hard work.
The next day, when Sui Zhao went out, he saw Shen Siwei standing in the outer hall listening to the trial. The Mingchasi brought the people who had escaped last night in front of him.
The man who was best dressed last night saw Sui Zhao coming and fixed his eyes on her face.
Sui Zhao met his gaze for a moment, then turned to look at Shen Siwei, "Shen Siwei, tie him up tighter, I suspect he will attack me in the next moment."
Shen Siwei nodded and looked at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin found another rope and tied the man up.
man:……
Sui Zhao pulled a chair and sat down, then asked, "Do you recognize me?"
"Emperor Wu's favorite princess, shouldn't I know you?" the man said in a hoarse voice.
Except for Shen Siwei, everyone else in the Mingcha Division looked at Sui Zhao with surprise.
Sui Zhao nodded, "That's right, it's only natural that you know me. After all, you want to restore your country, so you should be familiar with the royal family."
