Chapter 19

   "What did you find out, tell me about it carefully."

   Boss Li sat there waiting for Gu Lei's reply.

  Li Yu made tea, served the elders one by one, opened the small table, and took out the map.

"Uncle, I found out that there is a group of bandits five hundred miles north of the west of the city. Recently, they have often harassed the residents near the town. The people who came out of the city have not been arrested several times, and their salary has not been paid intermittently. They are not willing. Contribute."

  "Now the people are precarious, and they don't work hard. I think we can get a vote before leaving."

   "Which specific location."

   Boss Li looked down at the map.

  Gu Lei quickly found a place for him, and pointed with his hand, "It's in this area, I have to check the situation. The pawnshop manager said that the bandit den has been here for three or four years, and it's not the first day."

   "I don't know how many people, we have too few people."

   "Father, I thought I could win a vote by taking a cold shot. Now that the price of food has risen, they have to eat too."

  Li Yu pointed to the map and continued: "This area is the way we came here. There is almost no harvest in the farmland. Last year there was a disaster, and this year there was a small-scale flood. There is nothing to eat."

"According to the analysis of the clues I have inquired, they are active in this area. To the south, there is a commercial road on this road, which is the only way for merchants. For merchants, the more expensive the food, the more valuable their things are. Risky It's worth it too."

   "Yu'er is right, the arrangement is good, and she can definitely win a vote."

  Grandpa Gu also nodded in approval of Li Yu's idea.

   "Then we have to get rid of the bottom line."

   "And I conclude that there will not be too many of them, no more than twenty people, and they cannot be supported."

   "Oh, what is the basis for your judgment."

  Boss Li looked at Gu Lei with a smile, guiding the children to grow step by step.

   "Look at the manager of the **** shop, if you can't catch people for two or three years, you must be able to hide. If there are too many people, you need a stronghold. If you can't hide people for a long time in this mountain forest, you will be a savage.

  The number of people is small, so they can move back and forth flexibly, and it is not easy to be caught. If there are few people, you can hide anywhere. If there are too many people, you will have to use carts to pull all the food, and you will have to consume a large cart of food in a few days. "

   "It's possible that the villagers acted as a cover. The world is too chaotic now, and the poor can't live on. It's not uncommon to rob houses."

   Li Yu also added a sentence.

   "This area is a farmhouse, a village, Dad, if there are villagers covering it, it will be really hard to find."

   Li Rui also pointed to the map and said.

"It's true. Many bandits commit crimes in small groups. When they enter villages and towns, they are broken up into pieces. Soon they disappear and can't be found. They are originally farmers, and they are also the top leaders in the field. You can't recognize them. "

  Boss Li has been leading the army in wars all year round, so he is very experienced in these things.

   "Father, then they will definitely be dispatched again. When they come out of the nest, we will raid his hometown. They must have a place to hide treasures and food, and they may not be in the same place."

  Li Yu stroked his chin and smiled.

   "Okay, let Leizi and Brother Rui do the early investigation of the news."

"I am coming too."

   "I'm afraid you won't get it back if you lose it."

  Boss Li glared at his daughter.

  My daughter has a poor sense of direction and is a road idiot who gets lost easily.

  Li Yu pouted, drooping her face, feeling unhappy.

  Gu Lei lowered his head and coaxed her: "Don't worry, we'll get you some news, and you have to take the lead when we come back."

   "Liar, you won't take me to play when you come back."

   Li Yu twisted his head angrily.

  Li Rui couldn't see his sister being wronged a bit, so he quickly expressed his opinion, "I can't, we don't have enough manpower without you, and the two of us combined are not as good as your sword skills, so I will definitely take you to play."

   This is the truth. After being reborn, Li Yu suffered a lot to practice martial arts. She has a good foundation and high talent. There is no reason why she is willing to concentrate on learning skills. Li Rui and Gu Lei can't beat her together.

  Li Yu glanced at his father.

  Boss Li smiled indulgently, "If you obey the order, I will let you fight the bandits. If you don't obey and act impulsively, I won't take you."

   "Then I'm obedient, Dad, you take me, I don't have enough manpower, I'm worried."

  Boss Li agreed after a bit of consideration. There was no other way, because there was not enough manpower, so he had to wrong his daughter to do the job of a man.

  Li Yuke was happy, and happily went to work.

   Gu Lei looked at Li Yu's back and muttered, "I wronged Yu'er for fighting and killing men together."

  Old man Li shook his head, "No, my Li family's children, regardless of gender, can't be squeamish. In troubled times, the ability to save life is a sharp weapon. I would rather my granddaughter be more fierce, and I don't want her to be bullied."

  Li Rui also nodded, "My sister is not the youngest daughter of the boudoir. Yu'er is capable of fighting the enemy and is a better girl than a man. She shouldn't be locked up in the inner house to bury her talent."

   Gu Lei asked Li Rui, "Aren't you afraid that she will be rejected by her husband's family and no one wants her. There are not many good men who can understand her."

  A pair of peach blossom eyes are bright, blinking.

  Li Rui took a deep look at him, "Nobody wants to be my Li family's treasure, she is my sister who is my own, and I will raise her for the rest of my life. Our father and son are not dead, so no one can bully my sister."

  The words are sonorous and powerful, and the eyes are firm and powerful.

   "Understood, is her temper a material for being angry? It's not bad if she doesn't bully others."

  Gu Lei rolled his eyes at him.

   "Okay, you go to visit again tomorrow morning, be careful not to be noticed."

"yes."

   The two agreed.

  Li Yu found the things and weapons overnight.

   "Come here, both of you, something nice for you two."

  She took the arm and the hidden weapon to them.

   "There are too few arrows. The iron ones have a long range and great power. It's hard to find them now. Try to get them back for me."

"good."

  Li Yu also prepared things for reporting the letter, as well as water bags for food and dagger wound medicine.

   During the night, several people worked together to continuously deduce all possible situations and escape routes to ensure that the bandits would not catch up with them, and they could also destroy the enemy's lair in one fell swoop.

   Li Yu is still on duty at night, and the two of them are going to investigate the situation tomorrow morning and have a good rest.

   Before dawn, the two brothers left in the dark, unnoticed.

  The female relatives have to wait here for a day before setting off. They have to leave first, so that Li Yu and others can let go.

  Everything was ready. Li Rui came back that night and told them the good news. Those bandits might have to act again in the past few days. Some merchants will come over in a few days, and they are counting the days.

  Grandpa Gu took the carriage and the women and children away before dawn.

  Lin Yue muttered, "Why do we have to fight bandits? It's the same thing if we save some money. It's too dangerous."

   "Shut up, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, a man can do something and not do something."

   It was the first time that Mrs. Gu Lin spoke out to reprimand her niece.

  Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect her aunt to scold her.

   "Bandits harm the people. We can't change the tyranny, but we can eliminate the bandits and let the people live in peace every day."

   "Don't interrupt if you don't understand. So many of us have to eat a lot of food a day. If you don't have money, don't make sarcastic remarks."

   Gu Lin was angry, and Lin Yue was so frightened that she fell silent.
