As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned to Wang Yun.
"What should we do with the boss? Should we fight or leave?" Everyone was waiting for him to speak.
Wang Yun looked at the seven or eight large sacks around him, then squinted through the plants at the herd of wild boars that were gradually approaching. Thinking of how difficult the wild boars were to deal with, he decisively uttered words, "Leave."
There were quite a few of them, but none of them had fully recovered from injuries of varying degrees. It would have been fine if there were only one or two wild boars, but there was a herd of them. The things the prince needed had already been obtained, so there was no need to confront the herd of wild boars. Wild boars are really difficult to deal with, and this is not just a rumor.
With his shout of "leave", everyone quickly picked up their bags and disappeared from this place before the wild boar arrived, leaving behind a messy pile of vines and leaves.
The wild boars that arrived a step later immediately smelled a strange scent. After searching for a while, they did not find the intruder and just looked at the pile of messy vines and leaves in surprise. In particular, there seemed to be a hint of confusion in the wild boar leader's eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Just as Wang Yun and his companions were carrying bags of exotic fruits down the mountain, there was a breakthrough on this side of the mountain road. When the excavation reached the most critical moment, the people on the other side could be vaguely seen, and the sounds were even more obvious. Both sides knew that there was someone on the other side, but it was the first time that they could hear the sound so clearly. Finally, before noon, the mountain road that had been blocked for nearly half a month was finally open, and both sides of the excavation finally saw each other's true face.
Seeing that there was no surprise in the other party's eyes, Guo Yi had already thought about it when he decided to open the mountain road that this road would not be blocked for too long. After all, it was an official road. Once the government knew that the road was blocked, they would definitely send people to open it. The officials standing behind the crowd of people confirmed his idea. But this was not the time to talk, everyone was busy clearing away the few remaining obstacles. It took another half an hour before all the rocks and silt were cleared.
If it weren't for the hope that was around the corner, no one would have the energy to hold on for another half an hour. It was almost late autumn, but the midday sun was still very strong. After working hard to deal with the last piece of rock, both sides collapsed on the ground, extremely exhausted. The leaders of both sides also met formally.
Guo Yi's demeanor shows that he is not an ordinary person. Although he is dressed as a guard, he wears official boots. As long as you are careful enough, you will be able to spot it.
Jiaocheng County Magistrate Hu Miao has always been active, not to mention his sharp eyesight. With just a glance, he knew that the tall man opposite him was not someone he could use his official power to bully. Then he approached Guo Yi with a smile on his face, but before he could say anything, a waist badge with the special seal of Yunzhou Mufu appeared in front of him.
Hu Miao's eyes tightened. Although he was a low-ranking county magistrate, he still recognized the badge. It turned out that he was a first-class guard under the governor. Even the county magistrate would bow his head when he saw this person. Immediately, Hu Miao's attitude straightened up and he greeted Guo Yi with the courtesy of a subordinate.
Guo Yi raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Who is this gentleman?"
"Your Excellency, I am Hu Miao, the magistrate of Jiaocheng County." Upon hearing this, Hu Miao quickly replied.
"So it's Lord Hu. I'm not a Lord. Lord Hu can just call me Guard Guo."
"No, no, no, your Excellency is a first-class guard under the governor. He is a military officer with a high rank and deserves to be called Your Excellency." Hu Miao leaned over and said.
Seeing that this person was speaking sincerely and not just perfunctorily, Guo Yi followed his lead and did not want to dwell too much on the way he addressed him. Guo Yi nodded and glanced at the listless group of people in the distance. He could finally get rid of these burdens.
He said, "It's great to meet you, Lord Hu. I have something to ask of you."
"Why ask for a favor? If you have anything to ask, just tell me. I will do my best to help you." Hu Miao leaned over and said.
"Thank you. Sir Hu, please come this way." Guo Yi nodded and took the lead to walk towards the bandits hiding under the tree.
Sir Hu , who was a step slower, quickly followed. It was not until he followed Guo Yi to a stop and saw a group of people tied up under the tree that he was surprised and looked at Guo Yi in confusion. There were dozens of people tied up with ropes under the tree. They all looked listless and it seemed like they had been tied up for some time.
"Sir, who are these people?" Hu Miao was afraid of offending a taboo, so he spoke very tactfully.
"Do you know where this place is?" Guo Yi answered the question irrelevantly.
Hu Miao nodded. How could he not know where Jiaocheng Territory was? This was Panshan...
Knowing that adults would not ask him questions casually, Hu Miao always felt that he had overlooked something? Panshan, his brain was working at high speed, and suddenly... Hu Miao's eyes suddenly widened....Could it be that this group of people are...the tough bandits entrenched in the Panshan Mountain?
He then looked at Guo Yi, his face showing excitement, "Sir, you mean these are the bandits hiding in Panshan Mountain."
Hu Miao's hands trembled unconsciously because he was too excited. This group of bandits had been entrenched in Panshan for several years. They were a cancer not only to Jiaocheng but also to several nearby cities. Every year, many people die from robbery at their hands. Unfortunately, this group of bandits is too cunning, and their hiding places are too secretive, so the government can't do anything about them. For this reason, the county magistrate is often criticized by his superiors. Catching all the bandits on Panshan Mountain would be a huge achievement and political accomplishment. Hu Miao couldn't help but be excited when he thought of this.
Looking at the excited Hu Miao calmly, Guo Yi nodded without saying anything, confirming Hu Miao's guess.
After all, he had been the county magistrate for so many years. Although he was excited, he quickly returned to normal, but the light in his eyes became much brighter.
"Sir, are all the bandits here?" After thinking for a moment, Hu Miao asked this question. There are many bandits in Panshan. They usually scout the area before robbing. There are so many people here, it is impossible that there are only a few dozen bandits.
"Of course not. More than a hundred people died and were buried there." Guo Yi pointed in a direction.
"Not only that, we also found the thieves' lair and captured the rest of them. These are all the remnants."
"I'll leave these people to Lord Hu. As for the place where the bandits are hiding in Panshan, I will leave one person to help you lead the way. All the gains the bandits have made over the years are also in the hiding place."
"Are you really going to leave these to us?" Hu Miao felt like he was hit by a pie.
I just feel that Lord Guo is worthy of being the first-class guard under the governor. He is so powerful. Not only did he eliminate these bandits, he even found out their hiding places clearly.
All they have to do is go through the process, transport the goods out, and then they will get the credit. Of course, the biggest beneficiary is the county magistrate. The county magistrate eats meat, and he, the county magistrate, can naturally drink some soup.
"Otherwise, it's just bad luck that I encountered this group of short-sighted people, so I'll strike while the iron is hot and wipe them out. As for the rest of the matters, I shouldn't get involved, so I'll leave it to Lord Hu. I'll also trouble Lord Hu to apologize to the county magistrate on my behalf. Guo Mou has important matters to attend to, so he won't go to see the county magistrate." After he finished speaking, Guo Yi bowed.
