Happy pastoral event: a wonderful wife

Chapter 418 Rescue Strategy

After speaking, he turned and left, closing the door with a bang.

Shen Yunjin couldn't hold back her emotions for a long time, and finally sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Where is Li Yi now...how is Yun Wen's body...she is really scared and wants to go home, she doesn't want to stay in this broken cottage all her life.

……

On the other side, a group of people from Prince Xiao's Mansion finally arrived at the nearest town.

In the name of Prince Xiao's Mansion, they asked the prefect of the local government to immediately send someone to support them and go to the cottage to rescue Shen Yunjin.

As soon as the magistrate saw that it was Princess Xiao and the two eldest sons of Prince Xiao's mansion, he hurriedly sent someone to entertain them, for fear of not taking good care of them.

"Princess, two princes, I feel extremely honored that you can come to our town." The magistrate said respectfully.

Xiao Lanfeng was a little anxious, "Okay, don't say these polite words, let me ask you, do you know that there is a cottage near here, there are many bandits in it, and they often rob houses on the road."

When the magistrate heard this, he was a little stunned, "Why are you asking this? Could it be that they dared to rob Xiao Wang's mansion."

Ye Cheng frowned, "From your tone, you should know their existence, so why don't you send someone to wipe them out, don't you just let them bully the common people on the mountain road?"

The magistrate quickly shook his head in denial, "No, no, son, I have been wronged. I wish these bandits would leave this place quickly. How can I pamper them? I also have my own reasons."

"What's the difficulty, let's talk about it quickly." Ye Cheng asked.

The prefect sighed, with a look of embarrassment.

Xiao Lanfeng couldn't wait any longer, "Why don't you say it? Could it be that you deliberately indulged them and let them rely on you to help them? Tell me, are you united with them?"

It is not uncommon for the local government and bandits to collude to bully the common people, so Xiao Lanfeng's guess is not unreasonable.

After hearing this, the magistrate immediately complained, "Your Majesty, I am a good official who is loved by the common people. How could I do such a thing?"

"Then what are your difficulties, you should tell me quickly." Ye Cheng urged.

Only then did the prefect say, "Well, to be honest with you two princes, in fact, I really thought about exterminating these bandits before I was appointed as an official, but there were so many bandits. The officers and soldiers under my officer are limited, so I can't kill them all. The cottage was attacked."

Hearing this, Xiao Lanfeng's heart tightened, "What, you mean your government can't do anything to these bandits?"

"That's right, if we could deal with them, the officials would have attacked their cottage a long time ago, so why not wait until today." The prefect replied.

Xiao Lanfeng felt very worried. They came to the government to ask for help, but if the government couldn't deal with those arrogant bandits, wouldn't they be able to save Shen Yunjin?

"You mean, all the people in your government combined can't defeat those bandits?" Xiao Lanfeng asked.

The magistrate nodded, "It's true that we can't beat it. The location of the cottage is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are too many bandits. We are really no match for them."

"No, you have to take down the stronghold!" Xiao Lan said coldly, "You have to fight if you can't."

When the magistrate heard this, he was a little embarrassed, "My son, it's not that the lower officials don't want to fight, it's because the lower officials don't have enough officers and soldiers. I don't know why you care so much about the bandits?"

Xiao Lanfeng replied, "The bandits captured my friend, I must rescue her, otherwise, I will not give up."

"We came here to ask you for help just to save our friends." Ye Cheng added, "So you have to find a way to take down that cottage."

The magistrate was a little embarrassed, he thought for a while, and said, "How about this, I will send people to contact other towns and ask them to send some people over, and we will attack the cottage when we have enough people."

"How long will it take to gather enough people?" Xiao Lanfeng asked.

The magistrate thought for a while, "The nearest few towns are only about an hour away from us, plus the time to notify the officers and soldiers and organize the troops, we can go to attack the cottage before the afternoon."

Xiao Lanfeng was a little dissatisfied, "Before the afternoon? I can't wait that long."

The magistrate looked embarrassed, and said, "My lord, this is already the fastest time, I really tried my best, and I can only do it so fast."

Ye Cheng could see that the magistrate was telling the truth, so he said to the magistrate, "Okay, we know, you go down first, and quickly send people to several nearby towns to support us."

"Yes, I'll do it right now." The magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly withdrew.

After he left, Xiao Lanfeng sighed, "Miss Shen has been taken away by bandits for so long, I really don't know how she is doing now, those bandits will not hurt her."

"She is a smart girl, she should think of a way to protect herself temporarily." Ye Cheng sighed, "What we can do now is to save her as soon as possible."

Xiao Lanfeng was a little anxious, "But you heard it just now. The magistrate said that he would not be able to bring people to rescue her until the afternoon. Who knows if she will be able to survive until then. What I am most worried about is that those people will hurt her. .”

Just then, Li Yi came in.

"How about it, what did the magistrate say, when can he bring someone to rescue Jin'er?" Li Yi hurriedly asked as soon as he came in.

Ye Cheng replied, "Afternoon. The magistrate said that there is not enough manpower for the time being, and we can only rescue Miss Shen in the afternoon."

When Li Yi heard this, he couldn't help being anxious, "We still have to wait for a long time, what should I do if Jin'er has any accidents."

"Don't be in a hurry, it's useless to be in a hurry now." Ye Cheng said, "Let's think about rescue strategies now, it's not a waste of time."

Li Yi sighed, "Okay."

Ye Cheng said, "The magistrate said that the stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is a bit special, so most of the officers and soldiers were beaten down by the bandits before they could charge up. So, we can think of a way to attack the west." Idea, see if we can split into two groups and work together to save the sinking girl."

"Are there other exits and entrances to that cottage?" Li Yi asked.

Ye Cheng didn't know either, so he called a person from the government and asked him to draw a map of the cottage for them to see.

After the map was drawn, they discovered that the cottage had more than one exit.
