It rained yesterday, and all the traces from yesterday were washed away. Today, only Master Yu was walking in front of them. If there were no traces of carriages and horses, then Master Yu and the others would have been kidnapped.

Judging by the clues he saw, it was more likely that Master Yu was kidnapped by the bandits.

Encountered a gangster?

This is too exciting, right? A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The four boys were also excited when they heard from the beginning to the end on the guard's horse, especially Zhou Yong.

He is gearing up, and he can't wait to take the guy with him to suppress the bandits immediately.

"Father, what do you need to do? If you tell me, I can go too."

Before waiting for Zhou Cheng's response, Pei Xiu glared at him first, "What are you doing? The soldiers who were investigating haven't come back yet. When the soldiers come back to report, we'll see how your father arranges it?"

"Hey, mother, I want to do my part too."

"Wait and see."

After a while, the soldiers who were investigating on the official road ran back quickly, "Report to the two adults, the villain has explored about 100 meters all the way, and there is no trace of the weight of the car yard on the road ahead."

Zhou Cheng and Captain Wu took a solemn look. They originally thought that Master Yu was kidnapped by the bandits, but now they are more certain.

Now we can only wait for the soldiers on the grass to come back and report to confirm.

After waiting for a while, two soldiers came back one.

"Lord Qi, there are obviously traces of horses and heavy objects in the grass, and there are many messy footprints. It is certain that a group of people and horses passed by here not long ago."

Xiao Bing took out another conch from his arms, "This is what the villain just found in the grass, and then the villain will come back to report first. Xiao Yang continues to explore along the traces."

Zhou Cheng took the conch, put it together with the two conch in his hand, and said to Captain Wu: "Master Yu's family should be captured, these conch should be his son, and when the bandits didn't pay attention, they dropped the warning. Hopefully we'll find out later."

Captain Wu also felt that Zhou Cheng's guess was right, "Let's find an open place first, settle down for a while, and see if the soldiers in front can find the nest along the traces."

"Well, that's what I thought too. We have a lot of luggage, so we should exit this section of the road first and find a wide place to station the carriages and horses."

In this way, he can arrange how to save people without any worries.

Zhou Yong thought back and said uncertainly, "Father, when we just came here, it seemed that we passed through a small hillside with grass below."

Pei Xiu said with certainty: "There is a grassy area, quite wide. Let's go back and camp on the hillside!"

Zhou Cheng nodded, and he also noticed that there was a meadow under the low hillside when he came, and the area was quite open, so he was not afraid of ambush.

He ordered two people at random and handed them his official badges, "You go to the next town to report to the officials, tell the officials that some officials of the imperial court have been looted in this area, and ask if there are frequent lootings in this area. event."

Afterwards, he ordered ten more soldiers from the group of soldiers, and he said, "Go along the traces to find Xiao Yang and the others, and see if you can find the situation of this group of bandits."

"If you find it, don't scare the snake first, come back and report first. You should know about the grass you just passed by."

"Yes, General."

The ten people responded solemnly, and after taking the order, they dragged their horses and quietly mixed into the mountain forest. With their horses, it was convenient for them to run back quickly to report in case of circumstances.

After the arrangement was made, they turned around. The grass was not far away, and they walked for a quarter of an hour.

Zhou Cheng raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already in the right time, and he didn't know when there would be news. Maybe he would have to fight bandits on the mountain at night.

Today is doomed to be unable to reach the next inn or town, and to sleep in the wilderness, so he ordered people to set up tents first.

As soon as Zhou Yong arrived at the place, he rummaged through the boxes to find their bows and arrows, and said excitedly, "Let's take all our bows and arrows with us, maybe we have to fight at any time."

These were all prepared when they left Beijing. They just wanted to go back to their hometown and go hunting in the mountains. I didn't expect that they would come in handy on the way back.

The third child also said excitedly: "There is a knife, so let's find it, it should be able to be used."

Zhou Shan hugged his little bow and said to the third child, "Well, you should use a knife. It's not very accurate to shoot arrows during the day, let alone at night. What if you hit your own person?"

The second child: "That can only be regarded as bad luck for everyone."

The third child rolled his eyes, "What good does laughing at me do for you? Everyone is half a pound. I don't know what your level is?"

"I can't use a knife, right? The third child's knife is dull even if it is used to chop watermelons in the afternoon!"

"Ahahaha~"

He looked at his elder brother angrily, "Your knife was used to chop watermelons this afternoon."

"Hey, I can unpack it at night!"

Pei Xiu looked at these few speechlessly. Are they so sure that they can follow them to suppress the bandits?

She looked at what Zhou Cheng was about to say, and saw that he suddenly raised his head and looked over there, "It seems that he is back."

Everyone immediately got up and looked over, and soon the horses came to the front. Two horses took people with them. It was clear sky and daylight, and everyone clearly saw the bloody...

The soldier ran to the front, turned over and dismounted, pulled the man off the horse, and knelt down to report.

"Sir, we searched along the traces and found a foot of a mountain. We found these two people at the foot of the mountain. Brothers, watching them dangling at the foot of the mountain with knives, they were not good people at first sight. They took them down when they let go."

"Isn't it disturbing others? What about others?"

"The brothers were very careful and didn't disturb others. We took them and sent them over first. The others were waiting at the foot of the mountain for the general's order."

Zhou Cheng kicked at the one whose shoulder was bleeding and injured, and even kicked at his wound.

"Is your old nest on the mountain?"

The gangster let out a scream, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he was still very strong, clenching his teeth and saying nothing.

Captain Wu snorted coldly, stepped forward, stepped on his slashed shoulder again, and exerted a little force, he couldn't help but let out a painful cry, and a large amount of blood was seeping from the shoulder that had stopped bleeding.

The screams of the bandits shook the sky, and it was even more miserable, and the complexion was pale...

Captain Wu was unmoved, and asked grimly: "The bones are still pretty hard? If we don't say it, we can't do anything about you?"

The other gangster on the side shivered as he watched, and shrank into a ball in the shadows, hoping that everyone would ignore him, and prayed in his heart: Don't change people, don't change people, just him, just punish him...

Pei Xiu also turned her head slightly in discomfort. She was afraid of scaring the child, so she directly covered Mai's eyes and led her into the tent.
