C10 Old Woman

At this moment, in the mayor's mansion, Yan Zijun was getting ready to leave after changing his clothes. Yan Zi was waiting outside the mansion early in the morning, and when she saw her brother, she immediately pulled his hand, "Brother, where are you going!"

Yan Zijun glanced at her, "It's fine if you're at home, but with your actions, how will you be able to become a matchmaker next year?"

Yan Zi pouted her lips and spoke with a sense of pride. "Then I'll pester big brother for the rest of my life."

Yan Zijun rolled his eyes, "I don't want this old lady."

Yan Zi said, "Big brother, are you going to look for General Li? Take me with you. "

Yan Zijun glared at Yan Zi, "Nonsense!"

The first reason why he came to find General Li immediately after waking up from his drunken stupor was because he had rarely lost his composure yesterday. He did not know whether he had done something impolite or not, and if so, he would definitely have to explain it to him. The second reason was to discuss it with General Li, regarding his account of the capture of the supervisors next week.

However, when he arrived at the relay station, Zhu Yiyan seemed a little unnatural, "I wonder what are your orders for this trip?"

Yan Zijun said: "Of course I'm here to look for your general?" Seeing Zhu Yiyan's eyes flicker, he asked again, "Could it be that General Li is not in the city?" Seeing that the other didn't answer, he continued, "The deputy general has repeatedly stopped me from meeting with the general. You know that the Emperor has sent the general to help me eliminate the bandits. Now I have something to discuss.

Zhu Yiyan took a step back, cupped his fists, and said, "Mayor, please do not be angry, I am not stopping you from meeting with the general, it is just that the general did not return last night, and I do not know where he is now."

Yan Zijun: "General Li hasn't returned since last night?"

"Exactly." Zhu Yiyan looked troubled, "I've already sent people to look for him, but I guess …"

Seeing that he seemed to want to say something, Yan Zijun asked, "Do you have any clues about him, Vice General Zhu?"

"The general is a person who values friendship. Yesterday, she had been worrying about how to save Supervisor Zhou because she had no clue and wanted to go to the city lord for a discussion. Has the city lord never met her before?"

Yan Zijun thought for a moment, "Did you send someone to look for him?"

Zhu Yiyan knew Li Su's personality very well. If this girl were to become stubborn, even ten bulls would not be able to pull her back.

As a result, ever since Overseer Zhou had been captured, she had not once thought of going to rescue him.

Zhu Yiyan initially wanted Yan Zijun to persuade Li Su, who was like a donkey, to persuade her, which was why she was told to seek an idea from the city. After all, the enemy had been fighting against bandits all year round.

Who knew that this girl hadn't come home for the entire night.

Now that the mayor had come looking for him with no idea of what was happening, Zhu Yiyan knew that he had miscalculated this move.

"This general is really willful." Yan Zijun laughed coldly, "I'm afraid that he has already left the city."

Li Su took advantage of the opening of the city gates to change into a new set of female attire before heading up the mountain.

She disguised herself as the old woman selling vegetables, carrying a vegetable basket in her hand. The fresh vegetables were bought at a temporary stall, and she remembered seeing the map of the mountain in Yan Zijun's study. Although she did not know the exact hiding place of the bandits, she could roughly deduce it from the map.

It was definitely hidden in the middle of a mountain stream that was easy to defend against and hard to attack.

Two small men, each with a knife in his hand, stood in front of her.

"Heh, you old woman, what are you wandering around in this mountain stream by yourself for!"

"Could it be the outside of the Bian Yang Pass?"

As they spoke, the two of them reached out to catch the old woman. When Li Su saw this, his legs immediately gave way and he dropped the vegetable basket onto the ground, "The old woman only has one daughter, and the old wife left early too. She wanted to find something to do to relieve the burden on her daughter, but she didn't expect to lose her way."

Seeing that the two of them were not moved, Li Su placed the silver taels that she had prepared into their hands, "This old woman has nothing else but this silver taels. If you two big brothers can find a job for this old woman and pay me in the future, this old woman is willing to offer you some as tribute."

The two lackeys weighed the silver in their hands. A poor old woman naturally couldn't count on anything from her, but after hearing that she had to be filial, greed arose again.

"There just happens to be one missing to cook on the mountain."

When the other subordinate heard this, his expression changed, "Are you crazy? If the manager knew …"

"He's just an old man and a woman, and he's just the food of the First Stronghold."

The more the two talked, the more mysterious their conversation became. In the end, the one who was the last to show his disapproval suddenly said, "Can you cook?"

"Of course!"

The lackey nodded. "Then come with me." As he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his voice and said in a threatening tone, "Remember, you shouldn't say anything that shouldn't be said. But don't look at it or else I won't dare to spare your life."

Li Su nodded her head vigorously, "I wonder how will the payment be settled?"

The lackey replied: "20 words of January, if you are willing to go up with us."

"Thank you, gentlemen." Li Su bent down and slowly picked up the vegetables from the ground. Although some of them fell to the ground, some of them were already gluey. "I can still eat these after I wash myself."

The subordinate glanced at her. "Hurry up and catch up."

Li Su carried her vegetable basket and followed behind the two lackeys. After half an incense's time, the three of them arrived before a stone wall.

The lackey stepped forward and tapped on the stone wall twice. With a "Zi la" sound, a small crack appeared on the stone wall.

"Sky King's Earth Tiger."

"Pagoda-holding River Demon."

When the signals were right, the lackey glanced at Li Su and said, "Come in."

It was a wall of mechanisms, and Li Su was shocked. She wanted to express some opinions about it, but then she thought about it and said more, so she lowered her head and followed him inside.

On the other side of the mechanism wall was a passageway that could only allow two people to walk side by side. After walking for about 10 meters, they arrived at the end of the passageway.

At the end of the hall, there was a large residence. It wasn't very large; most likely, it was just an information post.

"Wait here."

Li Su gripped the vegetable basket tightly, showing a terrified and nervous expression. "Yes, yes."

The underling saw that the old woman seemed to have never seen the world before, his mouth slightly raised, "Don't run around with me, I'll take care of you." The lackey arrogantly and proudly looked at Li Su, "I'll bring you in. You have to listen to me, otherwise, everyone in this stronghold will be tied up with a few lives."

When Li Su heard about his life, she immediately shrunk her neck. "This old woman knows that she shouldn't have seen him, and she doesn't know how to say things that she shouldn't have heard."

After receiving this promise, the lackey who brought her into the stronghold was very satisfied, "You just have to wait, you can come back when I call for you."
