Sun Yan didn't dare to say a word, and even lowered his head to avoid Ye Sili's gaze. However, he still heard Ye Sili's voice and felt his butt hurt even more.
"Sun Zhizhou is too weak and it's better to recuperate. When he recovers, remember to tell this princess. After all, there are still some rewards that have not been finished."
Ye Sili was not a person who held grudges, but Sun Yan almost caused them to die in the barren mountains and secretly framed Ayou. She would not be happy to retaliate for this.
Sure enough, Sun Yan was a man who knew current affairs, and he never appeared in front of Gu Liyou and the others again in the next few days.
Gu Liyou took advantage of this opportunity to quickly and decisively take control of Liangcheng. With Duan Jiang's help, he was even more powerful, and the surrounding cottages, large and small, did not dare to take any further action.
According to Duan Jiang, in the Liangcheng area, as long as Duan Shanzhai is still there, other bandit lairs will not dare to cause trouble.
On the tenth day of August, Duan Tian made a sneak attack on Liangcheng, but was captured alive by Bai Yi and Mu Chun and imprisoned.
"Hey! You can kill me or chop me up as you please. What's the point of locking me in a cage?" Duan Tian held the cage with his hand and struggled several times but still couldn't open it, he said angrily.
Late spring circled the whip several times in his hand, knocked on the cage in a frightening manner, and said proudly: "Duan Laoer, I didn't expect you to end up like this."
Thinking about those days when the princess was in the cottage, Late Spring became very angry. However, during this period, the second son tried every means to murder the princess. How could she bear it?
"Stinky girl, don't let me out if you can, or I'll kill you." Duan Tian threatened fiercely.
"You still dare to threaten me?"
The whip struck the cage with a "snap", and Wuchun showed no sign of weakness: "I'll kill you first."
Then, the two people started arguing with each other.
After a while, Duan Tian's throat was filled with smoke and he sat on the ground tiredly. Late Chun leaned against the cage and drank the water Bai Yi handed him.
Duan Tian glanced at Mu Chun who was drinking water. He quickly stood up and suddenly reached out and grabbed the whip wrapped around Mu Chun's hand.
Late spring was pulled back. Fortunately, Bai Yi reacted quickly and reached out to protect him. At the same time, he grabbed the whip with one hand and pulled it out suddenly. As soon as Duan Tian's hand was pulled out, Bai Yi kicked him
Kick away.
"Are you looking for death?" Bai Yi slashed his long sword and shouted angrily.
Things happened so suddenly. Late spring had a conditioned reflex to resist Duan Tian's sneak attack, but Bai Yi's reaction was unexpectedly fast and he held her in his arms. Faced with such an unexpected situation, she was just stupid.
He stared blankly at the person so close to him, and even forgot to wipe the water he spilled all over himself.
Duan Tian shook off his hand that was hurt by Bai Yi's kick, and said with a provocative look on his face: "You dare to kill me?"
The power of Duan Shan Village should not be underestimated. He is the second leader of Duan Shan Village and Duan Jiang's only younger brother. The situation is now delicate. Except for General Gu, what can others do to him?
"Duan Tian!"
A roar came from a distance, and Duan Tian felt a chill on his back. The arrogant look on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a cowardly look.
He sighed helplessly, turned around slowly, and called out aggrievedly: "Brother..."
"Hey, Duan Laoer, you still have two faces." Munchun seized the opportunity and mocked.
Duan Tian just rolled his eyes at her silently, looking at the person walking towards him angrily, he didn't dare to do it again.
Duan Jiang was originally discussing important matters with Gu Liyou, but he heard that this idiot had been arrested again.
"Didn't I tell you not to act rashly? Did you take my words to heart?"
Duan Jiang walked closer and looked at the people trapped in the cage, wishing he had never known such an embarrassing guy.
"Brother, please listen to my explanation..." Duan Tian was about to explain, but saw Gu Liyou and Ye Sili also appearing here. He immediately became vigilant, but did not waste any time in explaining: "Brother, there has been no news in the village for several days.
When you heard the news, my brothers all thought that you had been kidnapped by them, so I took the risk to save you."
"...Kidnapping?"
Duan Jiang didn't react. He remembered that the last time he went back, he specifically told the brothers in the village to wait for news and not to cause trouble.
However, when I think about it carefully, it seems that it has been nearly seven or eight days since I last went back.
As for why he didn't go back in the past seven or eight days, it was entirely because he spent the whole day with the young lady, so he... forgot to send the news back...
Duan Jiang touched his nose in embarrassment and couldn't help but sigh, beauty is indeed misleading.
Duan Jiang disappeared for several days, and Duan Tian and the brothers in the village agreed that Gu Liyou and Ye Sili must have used a cunning trick to trap their village leader in the city.
Duan Tian had also seen what Gu Liyou was capable of, but after much thought he decided to come to the rescue. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Bai Yi as soon as he sneaked into the city. Originally, Bai Yi could only be at a draw with him, but this time Munchun came to help him.
, the two of them worked together to make him unable to resist.
Duan Jiang turned his head and looked at Gu Liyou and Ye Sili. The words of plea came to his lips but were swallowed again. He didn't know how to speak.
Gu Liyou has been investigating the collusion between bandits and officials for many days. With his ability, he naturally knows everything. The reason why he did not expose it before was probably because of his cooperation with Duan Shanzhai. But now Duan Tian is openly provocative. If he is let go easily,
How can he establish his authority in the city? It will be difficult for him to move forward from now on.
"Brother, please let them go quickly."
Duan Tian disliked this broken cage very much. At worst, he could be locked in a cell instead of in such a cage. He was not an animal.
Duan Jiang noticed the scars on Duan Tian's hands, which were probably injuries from the fight just now. Munchun and Bai Yi showed no mercy and beat Duan Tian to pieces.
"This matter is indeed my negligence. Look, little lady..." Before Duan Jiang finished speaking, he felt the cold eyes of Gu Liyou next to Ye Sili. Duan Jiang secretly complained about "being petty", with a look on his face.
But he said with a smile but not a smile: "General Gu, he didn't do much trouble today, why don't we just forget about it? I will teach him a lesson when I get back to the village."
Gu Liyou's eyes moved to Duan Tian. The man in the cage was in a miserable state, but he looked arrogant and showed no regrets.
Gu Liyou looked him up and down with disdainful eyes, and said in a cold tone: "The second village master did not make much mistake today. He just attacked the city gate guard and sneaked into the city without authorization. If Bai Yi and Muchun hadn't done their job well, I'm afraid this would have happened.
We have already entered the city lord's palace."
Duan Tian raised his head unconvinced and turned his nostrils to the sky, not paying attention to anyone.
Duan Laoer, who has always lived a knife-edge and bloodthirsty life, is now inferior to others in terms of skills and is inferior to others. At worst, he will lose his life and become a good man again eighteen years later.
Seeing Gu Liyou's noble appearance, Duan Tian refused to let his brother save him, and said with a risk-taking look: "Kill or chop him up as you like, if I scream in pain, he will be your grandson!"
Hearing this, Gu Liyou just chuckled lightly.
The brothers in this family have exactly the same temperament.
pity……
Gu Liyou slowly took two steps forward.
Liangcheng officials have been colluding with bandits for a long time, and now the younger generation is mainly Duan Tian.
Sun Yan allowed Duan Tianji and his men to go down the mountain to burn, kill, and loot to make ends meet. He also used Duan Shanzhai's power to suppress other officials from the middle and lower dynasties to consolidate his power in Liangcheng.
This is a good deal.
Gu Liyou's eyes darkened slightly, and his expression was so cold that it made people shudder.
Duan Tian looked away with inexplicable guilt.
"The second village master is a man of good temper, but based on the heroic deeds of the second village master in the past, I am afraid that even if he kills and cuts him into pieces, it will be hard for the people to get angry."
Duan Tian listened to Gu Liyou's words so relaxedly, but why did he feel weird?
"Gu Liyou, don't..."
Duan Jiang was about to speak, but he saw Gu Liyou suddenly turned his head, looked at him, and said calmly:
"You must be aware of what Duan Tian did, right?"
……nonsense.
Duan Tian is his biological brother, of course he knows it.
Sun Yan was treacherous and cunning, and had always oppressed the people. Fortunately, he was able to overcome everything, and Duan Tian dealt with him very hard.
Why should he stop it?
It's just that what Gu Liyou said now meant that he was blaming him for allowing his men to cause trouble to the people.
"Bring him out." Gu Liyou ordered.
Bai Fang stepped forward, opened the cage and escorted Duan Tian out, and saw Sun Yan coming in a hurry.
"Hey, General Gu, what are you..." Sun Yan braked suddenly and barely managed to stand still. Looking at the injured Duan Tian, he was secretly shocked. Looking at Duan Tian's appearance, could he have been tortured and interrogated?
pass?
Perhaps because he was running in a hurry, Sun Yan had beads of sweat on his forehead. He turned around cautiously, tried his best to smile at Gu Liyou and Ye Sili, and said: "Princess Princess, General Gu, don't you both
We are a family, how did we end up like this?"
"Oh? A family? I'm afraid Sun Zhizhou and the second village master are the ones eating from the same pot, right?" Gu Liyou asked back.
Sun Yan raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat falling from his forehead.
His original intention was to say that now Gu Liyou and Duan Jiang are cooperating, and Duan Jiang and Duan Tian are brothers, so aren't they a family.
But what Gu Liyou said...could he know something?
Sun Yan glanced at Duan Tian who was caught by Bai Yi again. Did he look like he had made a move or not?
Sun Yan was about to ask, but Gu Liyou said casually:
"Since we are all old acquaintances, and I happen to want to interrogate him, why not come with Sun Zhizhou?"
Ye Sili was not interested in the interrogation, so he took Huan Xia Late Spring to the kitchen.
It was getting dark outside, and there was a little fire inside the house.
Ye Sili rolled up her sleeves and kneaded the flour in a gentle and skillful manner. Qingluo and three others helped with the kneading. The four of them were talking and laughing. The scene was very happy for a while.
Qing Luo looked at the extremely skillful movements in Ye Sili's hands and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect the princess to be able to make mooncakes."
In late spring, he brought a bucket of well water and poured water into the basin with a wooden spoon. He said proudly: "Our princess knows many things, she is very good."
"Indeed." Ye Sili nodded without humility and said seriously: "My princess is smart, clever, talented and beautiful, and she is really good at both the hall and the kitchen."
"Pfft~" The three of them couldn't help laughing.
By the time Ye Sili and the other two prepared dinner, Gu Liyou was almost done with it.
