Chapter 130

Baixiu Mountain is located in the southeast of Xiaogang Village and south of Dongji Town.

Shen Yuexi rode a horse and galloped with the cavalry, and arrived in only half an hour.

The terrain of Mount Baixiu is precipitous, and it is a rare mountain in the plain outside the pass, so you need to look up.At the foot of the mountain is the only way to the border.Since the imperial court established the border, it no longer considered the people outside the pass, and let them fend for themselves.

The mountain wind blew Shen Yuexi's hair, making her feel that chilly air again.

I rode in an oxcart with Doctor Hua before, and once encountered bandits, and I was really scared that time.This time it was different, she had a thousand murderous Xiliang cavalry guards, and what was in her mind was not bandits, but Xuan Ming powder, which could cure Mei Pu's disease.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy in Dongji Town didn't tell her the exact location of the Xuanming Powder, so it seems that she has to search for it herself after going up the mountain.

"Mistress, I checked with the farmer on the way," Qiu Liming rode up to catch up with Shen Yuexi, "There used to be a Taoist temple on this mountain, which was quite large, but it was recently occupied by a group of bandits who came from nowhere. Then they went down the mountain to rob."

Shen Yuexi nodded and said: "Mei Shizi may have already gone up the mountain, so we will go up too."

"Dismount." Qiu Liming ordered the cavalry.The cavalry dismounted one after another, and took off the bows and arrows and swords from the saddle.

"General Qiu, you lead the army to find the thief's stronghold," Shen Yuexi said, "I still want to find medicinal materials."

She is not an expert in eliminating bandits, so she let Qiu Liming and the soldiers do it.This is a just act of eliminating harm for the people, and she will not interfere indiscriminately.

Yang Cong did not wait for Shen Yuexi's order, and had already stood with her.Shen Yuexi smiled and shook her head.

Qiu Liming said: "At the end of the day, two hundred soldiers will be left at the foot of the mountain, and six hundred soldiers will be brought into the mountain to look for the eldest son, and two hundred soldiers will protect the mistress."

"It's too much, there's no need." Shen Yuexi felt a little exaggerated.

The mere mountain bandits, when thousands of regular troops came and wiped them out, it was already a bit of a fuss.Going to pick a medicine by herself, with two hundred guards around her, the ostentation is too luxurious, she is not used to it.

Qiu Liming insisted on her own opinion, and even Yang Cong persuaded her:

"Mistress, you are so forgetful, have you forgotten the last time we went to the mountains and met Xirong scouts? There are bandits here, let's bring more soldiers to be safe."

"Okay, it's up to you." Shen Yuexi said, and took the lead to walk up the mountain.

"Two hundred soldiers who volunteered to protect Mistress." Qiu Liming waved and shouted, and all the soldiers responded one after another.200 people were assigned to follow Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong walked up the mountain along the path, looking around, they felt like generals on the battlefield.Not only are there soldiers scouting the road in front, but there are also guards in front, back, left, and right.

She didn't have this kind of experience in her previous life, and it's quite interesting to bring two hundred bodyguards.

"Big bear, collect the materials for the special medicine for leprosy."

As she walked, she gave Big Bear a collection order in her mind, and Big Bear finally agreed.A few sergeants ran out from the dense forest ahead, and ran to her to report:
"Mistress, there is a Taoist priest hanging in the woods ahead, calling there. Please show me, Mistress."

"Hanging?"

Shen Yuexi was taken aback, and looked forward, is there anyone still hanging on?
"Yes, the mistress will know when she goes to the front." The sergeant didn't know how to describe it, and led the way.

As he approached the woods, he heard a man screaming from inside: "What are you looking at, let me down quickly."

The sound is very high, it doesn't seem to come from the ground.

"Mistress, it sounds like she's barking from a tree." Yang Cong said to Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi entered the woods with Yang Cong curiously.

Hundreds of soldiers had gathered in the woods, and everyone looked up at the sky and pointed.Shen Yuexi also looked up at the place where everyone's eyes met.

A tall tree stretched out a thick branch in the air, and there was a Taoist priest hanging on it.A strong black belt bound his body, and the other end was tied to a branch, hanging him in the air.

Isn't this Dr. Hua's son?Maybe Maple did it.He is too bad, how can he hang him so high.

Shen Yuexi couldn't help but laugh.Thinking of this fake Taoist priest bluffing and cheating in the village, Mei Pu's punishment is not too much.However, his position is as high as three floors above the ground, so if he falls, he will not die or be disabled.

"Put him down." Shen Yuexi ordered the sergeant.

Punishment can be done differently.

"Madam Shen, His Royal Highness has orders, we dare not." The soldiers shook their heads one after another.

Shen Yuexi looked at the fake Taoist priest suspiciously: "Is there still an order?"

Seeing that so many people refused to let go, the fake Taoist became even more anxious, and moved his body twice: "Please do me a favor, His Royal Highness is not here, what are you afraid of?"

One of the sergeants pointed at the top and said to Shen Yuexi in a low voice: "Mrs. Shen, His Royal Highness has an order to hang... for one year."

Shen Yuexi walked around behind the Taoist priest, only to see that there were two lines written on the pants behind the guy.On the left leg is written "Decree of the Prince of Xiliang", and on the right leg is written "Hang it up for a year before releasing it".

You don't have to hang up for a year, but if you hang up for two days, you will be gone.The liar did not cheat the money, and the crime is not worthy of death.

"This is a prank by your family's son," Shen Yuexi said to the sergeant, "It's okay, just let it go."

"Return to Mrs. Shen, we really don't dare," the sergeant said, "Maybe he did something, the prince really wants to hang him for a year. If we want to let him go, it is against the Lord's order."

The sergeant's voice became louder, and the fake Taoist in the air heard it and shouted:

"Oh my god, if you hang it for a year, any medicinal material will be dried after half a week. It's for making bacon after hanging it for a year."

Shen Yuexi bent her fingers and tapped on her forehead, glanced around, saw the withered yellow leaves all over the ground, and suddenly had an idea.

She said to the sergeant: "His Royal Highness has an order not to let you go. Then I ordered you to do other things, will you do it?"

The sergeants said one after another: "Mrs. Shen, we will do everything except this."

"Go get some more leaves and pile them under him. Make boards around them."

The sergeants understood what Shen Yuexi meant, and everyone went around to collect leaves and piled them under the Taoist priest.After a while, leaves as tall as a person were piled up.

The fake Taoist saw it and shouted again: "You... are you going to set me on fire? I have no grievances with you. Why do you want to do this?"

Shen Yuexi walked under him and raised her face and said, "I have a grudge against you. That time I invited you in the middle of the night, you had to pay ten taels for a visit."

"Ah, it's you, I remembered!"

The fake Taoist pointed at Shen Yuexi: "It's only ten taels of silver, you actually want to take revenge like this. You also know that I have a son, and he even drove a car for you..."

Shen Yuexi looked around and said, "Someone with superb archery skills."

"Ah, you switched to arrows again, trying to shoot me dead!"

The fake Taoist was just talking about the excitement, when a soldier who was good at archery below bent his bow and set an arrow, at the sound of the bowstring, the arrow shot off the belt on his back.He suddenly screamed and fell from the sky.

With a "bang", countless dead leaves danced in front of Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi took a step forward and looked at the fake Taoist priest who fell into the fallen leaves: "Are you okay?"

"Don't move...it's broken." The fake Taoist lay straight on the leaves, using his eyes to stop the sergeants coming around, "Go and cut a splint, and take me to the town to see a doctor. It will take a hundred days for a broken muscle and bone Only then can it be good."

Yang Cong couldn't understand it, so he went up and kicked him: "What are you pretending to do, get up and put on your clothes."

Seeing that Yang Cong was so arrogant, the fake Taoist had no choice but to get up slowly and said, "Poverty... it really hurts to fall."

Before the words fell, Shen Yuexi, Yang Cong and the surrounding sergeants all laughed.

It turned out that there was a line of writing on his back.He couldn't see it himself, but everyone could see it clearly.write on:
"Pay me for the tape."
