Chapter 130 Wait for a year before talking

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

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

The terrain of Baixiu Mountain is steep. It is a rare high mountain in the plains outside the Pass. You need to look up. At the foot of the mountain is the only way to the border pass. Since the imperial court established the border pass, it no longer considered the people outside the pass and allowed them to fend for themselves. self-destruct.

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

She had been riding an ox cart with Doctor Hua before and had encountered bandits. That time she was really frightened. This time it was different. She was escorted by a thousand murderous Xiliang cavalry. She was not thinking about bandits. It is the Xuanming powder used to treat Maple's disease.

The medicine shop owner in Dongji Town didn't tell her the specific location of the Xuanming powder. It seemed that she would have to search for it herself after going up the mountain.

"Mother, I checked with the farmers on the way." Qiu Liming rode his horse to catch up with Shen Yuexi. "There used to be a Taoist temple on this mountain. It was quite large. Recently, it was occupied by a group of bandits who came from nowhere. There were about two hundred people. People often go down the mountain to rob."

Shen Yuexi nodded and said, "Prince Mei may have already gone up the mountain, so let's go up too."

"Dismount." Qiu Liming ordered the cavalry. The cavalry dismounted one after another and took off their bows and swords from their saddles.

"General Qiu, you lead the army to find the bandit camp," Shen Yuexi said, "I also want to look for medicinal materials."

She was not an expert in exterminating bandits, so she let Qiu Liming and the soldiers do it. This was a just act to eliminate harm for the people, and she would not interfere.

Yang Cong didn't wait for Shen Yuexi's instructions and had already stood with her. Shen Yuexi shook his head with a smile.

Qiu Liming said: "In the end, I will leave two hundred soldiers to guard at the foot of the mountain, take six hundred soldiers into the mountain to look for the crown prince, and two hundred sergeants to protect the mistress."

"It's too much, no need." Shen Yuexi felt it was a bit exaggerated.

They were just bandits, but when thousands of regular troops came to wipe them out, it was already a bit of a fuss. She went to pick some medicine, and was accompanied by two hundred guards. The scene was too luxurious, and she couldn't get used to it.

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

"Mother, you noble lady has forgotten things. Did you forget the last time we went to the mountains and met the Xirong scouts? There are bandits here. We should bring more soldiers to be safe."

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

"Here are two hundred soldiers who are willing to protect the mistress." Qiu Liming waved and shouted, and all the sergeants responded. Two hundred soldiers were sent 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 were there soldiers scouting in front of them, but they were also escorted on both sides.

She had never had this kind of experience in her previous life, and it was quite interesting to have two hundred bodyguards with her.

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

As she walked, she gave the collection order to Big Bear in her mind, and Big Bear finally agreed. Several sergeants ran out of the dense forest ahead and ran to her to report:

"Mistress, there is a Taoist priest hanging in the woods ahead, calling there. Please give me some instructions, mistress."

"Hang?"

Shen Yuexi was stunned for a moment and looked forward. Was there anyone hanging around?

"Yes, the mistress will know it when she comes to the front." The sergeant didn't know how to describe it, so he led the way.

As I approached the woods, I heard a man screaming: "What are you looking at? Let me down quickly."

The sound was very high, and it didn't sound like it was coming from the ground.

"Mother, it sounds like she's calling in the tree." Yang Cong said to Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi curiously went into the woods with Yang Cong.

Hundreds of soldiers had gathered in the woods, and everyone looked up to see where the sky was pointing. Shen Yuexi also looked up to where everyone's eyes were gathered.

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

Isn't this Doctor Hua's son? It was Maple who did it. He is too bad, why do you think he is so high up?

Shen Yuexi couldn't help laughing. Thinking of this fake Taoist priest who was fooling around in the village, Maple's punishment was not excessive. However, his position was as high as three stories above the ground. If he fell, he would not die.

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

Punishment can be done in other ways.

"Mrs. Shen, His Royal Highness has an order, but we don't dare." The sergeants shook their heads.

Shen Yuexi looked at the fake Taoist priest in confusion: "Your Majesty, do you still have any orders?"

The fake Taoist priest became even more anxious when he saw so many people refusing to let go. He moved his body twice and said, "You have done well. Your Highness is not here. What are you afraid of?"

One of the sergeants pointed to the top and whispered to Shen Yuexi: "Mrs. Shen, His Highness the Crown Prince has an order to hang up... for one year."

Shen Yuexi walked around behind the Taoist priest and saw that there were two lines of words written on the guy's pants behind him. On his left leg was written "Order of the Crown Prince of Xiliang", and on his right leg was "Hang for one year and then wait". put" .

You don’t have to hang up for a year, just hang up for two days and you’ll be gone. The scammer won’t get any money from you, and his crime won’t lead to death.

"This is a prank by your heir apparent," Shen Yuexi said to the sergeant, "It doesn't matter, just put it down."

"We really don't dare to go back to Mrs. Shen," the sergeant said. "Maybe he did something and the prince really wants to hang him up for a year. If we let him go, it would be against his command."

The sergeant's voice became louder. Upon hearing this, the false Taoist priest in the air shouted:

"Oh my God, if you hang it for a year, any medicinal materials will dry out after half a week. It's only for making bacon if you hang it for a year."

Shen Yuexi bent her fingers and tapped on her forehead. She glanced around and saw the withered yellow leaves on the ground, and she immediately had an idea.

She said to the sergeant: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order not to let you go. Then, will you do anything else I tell you?"

The sergeants said one after another: "Go back to Mrs. Shen, we can do everything except this."

"Go find more leaves and pile them under him. Surround them with planks of wood."

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

The fake Taoist priest saw it and shouted again: "You... do you want to burn me to death? I have no enmity with you, why do you 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 the consultation."

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

The fake Taoist priest pointed at Shen Yuexi: "It's only ten taels of silver, but 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, "Here comes someone with superb archery skills."

"Ah, you used arrows again and wanted to shoot me to death!"

When the fake Taoist priest was getting excited, a good archery sergeant below bent his bow and set an arrow. When the bow string sounded, the arrow broke the belt on his back. He suddenly screamed and fell from the air.

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

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

"Don't move...it's broken." The fake Taoist priest lay straight on the leaves and stopped the soldiers coming around. "Quickly cut a splint and carry me to the town to see the doctor. It will take a hundred days to recover from the broken bones and muscles." Talent is good."

Yang Cong couldn't stand it, so he went up and kicked his leg: "What are you pretending to be? Get up and put on your clothes."

Seeing how arrogant Yang Cong was, the fake Taoist priest could only stand up slowly and said, "I am a poor Taoist... this fall is really painful."

Before he finished speaking, 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, but everyone could see it clearly. It said:

"Pay for my belt."
