Queen of flowers - chapter 186

When the sun rose high, Yong Ruo followed Feng Lao and under the guidance of scouts, chased after Liu Kou and Ah Lan.

It was actually easy to track down the group of people. There were many of them, and they lacked organisational discipline. There would always be many traces of eating and drinking. Even if there was no scout, they would probably not chase it.

It was more difficult to track Ah Lan. They were only two and were more alert. Fortunately, their tracking scouts were excellent and followed them.

After walking for two days, Feng Liao and others found that Ah Lan and those bandits were going in exactly the same direction.

That also proved Yong Ruo’s previous guess from the side. Maybe it would be much simpler to solve the group of rogues.

On the evening of the fifth day, the scouts came to report that they had caught up with the bandits, and Ah Lan and others who met her had joined Yuan Cheng and others. Now, this group had just looted a new village and were killing there to make an alliance.

Feng Liao let the scouts and the guards act as planned.

The people in the village were having a bonfire party and carnival.

Outside the village, Feng Liao and others ambushed at various intersections. Fortunately, the mosquito repellent formulated by Xu Taiyi was very effective, so they didn’t have to endure the attack of mosquitoes.

After midnight, the hustle and bustle in the village gradually quieted down, as if everyone was drunk, tired, and fell asleep.

Yong Ruo sat in the woods by the road, waiting for news with Feng Liao.

When the moon was sinking to the west, they heard the faint sound of metal collision and the sound of shouting and yelling.

Scouts came to report that Yuan Cheng took Wuhu Peak’s 20 robbers, and quietly broke away from the rogue team in the middle of the night and moved in the direction of Wuhu Peak. Su Mingjian and others had surrounded them and were fighting.

After about a tea cup of work, all kinds of noises gradually subsided.

Su Mingjian reported with joyful expressions that out of twenty Wuhu Peak’s robbers, thirteen died, and the rest were taken down, including Yuan Cheng and Ah Lan. Those refugees were also under control.

“Master, this time the chaos of the bandits had been wiped out!” Su Mingjian said cheerfully, “All thanks to Furen’s plan! All thanks to Wang Ye’s decision!”

“You did well too!” Feng Liao breathed a long sigh of relief and turned to Yong Ruo, “Ruoruo, this is all thanks to you! This time when we return to Beijing, I will definitely reward you!”

Yong Ruo said, “Thank you, Wang Ye!”

She wondered if she could see the emperor after returning to Beijing.

She was always curious about the mystery of the emperor!

Feng Liao stepped on the horse and took Yong Ruo to see the bandits caught by Su Mingjian.

The bandits, including Yuan Cheng and Ah Lan, were all tied up, and were also gagged.

Feng Liao rode on the horse, approached Ah Lan step by step, looked at her flaming eyes, smiled slightly, and said condescendingly, “You did a great job! Rest assured, Bengong promised to give you dowry, I won’t break my promise.”

Yuan Cheng and others glared at Ah Lan.

She screamed muffledly, as if there was a lot to say. But her mouth was blocked, and she couldn’t say a word.

Later, Feng Liao and Yong Ruo and others entered the village and found a room to sleep.

That time, Su Mingjian carefully checked the room where they lived.

Feng Liao and Yong Ruo were lying. Although it was too late, they couldn’t sleep a bit.

“Did you say that to Ah Lan because you wanted to stir up her relationship with the bandits?” Yong Ruo asked Feng Liao casually, as it wasn’t like his usual style of behaviour.

Feng Liao nodded, and hummed softly again, “Ruoruo, you have saved me twice in a row! This makes me feel very useless. So these past few days, I have been thinking about the night in Majia.”

He sighed slightly, “I was thinking that I am already caught in the whirlpool, so I can no longer go straight as before! If something happens in the future, I think it will be very difficult for me.”

“Actually, Uncle Emperor taught me some tricks, but I have never taken it to heart, and never used it on others. But now, I want to try to use tricks to solve some problems.”

“I hope that in the future, I can be as smart as you. There is no need to rely on you to protect or save me, but to protect you in turn …”

Yong Ruo sighed slightly, “It’s right to think more about what happened. In that way, at least others couldn’t hurt you easily. But you shouldn’t be overkill … If you become suspicious of everything, it would be a great loss.”

“Relax, I understand.”

They only slept until noon, and left for Wulin County after lunch.
