New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Yongqi, Ertai and others looked at the embarrassed and pitiful bandits with disdain and disgust in their hearts. They didn't want to have anything to do with these people anymore, so they chose to stand aside and wait for Erkang to return.

However, as time went by, Xiaoyanzi began to feel a little bored. Her eyes fell on the bandits, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She decided to get the bandits to work and move the big rocks they had used to block the passage.

After hearing this order, the bandits were angry but did not dare to show it. They knew they were at a disadvantage and could only follow Xiaoyanzi's instructions. Although their bodies were still in pain and itchy and their strength had not yet fully recovered, they still gathered their spirits and began to move the huge stone.

Even the bandits who had their trouser pockets pulled or their pants wet were driven to join the labor team. They were obviously the objects of everyone's disdain, and could only work hard silently, hoping to complete the task as soon as possible.

The bearded man would rather do more work himself than let these people get close to him. He really couldn't stand the pungent smell and just wanted to get rid of this disgusting environment as soon as possible.

They were so tired that they were out of breath and sat down on the ground. After a long and difficult effort, they finally moved the stone a distance, but still failed to move it completely. At this time, Erkang and a group of soldiers came hurriedly. After they got off the horse, they were surprised to find Yongqi and others sitting next to the carriage in boredom, and not far away was a group of ragged and miserable bandits, looking very miserable.

"What's going on?" Erkang raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

Ertai smiled and told him what Xiaoyanzi had done, in return Erkang shook his head helplessly and laughed.

Knowing that some of the bandits carried dirty things on their bodies, Erkang took the initiative to remind the officers and soldiers to be careful when arresting people and not to be overwhelmed by the stench of the bandits.

It turned out that these officers and soldiers were sent by the county magistrate of Lanyue City when Erkang reported the situation to him. The county magistrate knew that these people had special identities, and he was very happy to hear that they had caught the bandits who had been committing many evil deeds outside the city, and immediately sent 30 officers and soldiers to assist in the arrest.

Not long after, with the concerted efforts of many officers and soldiers, the big rock blocking the way was finally successfully moved away. At the same time, the bandits were also arrested one by one by the officers and soldiers.

Interestingly, when these bandits were caught by the soldiers, none of them tried to escape. On the contrary, they seemed to be a little relieved, because the arrival of the soldiers meant that they could escape from the terrible little witch.

That's right, it was Xiaoyanzi who had just poisoned them. The lively and confident little girl with delicate eyebrows and eyes, now seemed to have turned into a scary witch in their eyes. Her image was completely different from before, which made people feel scared.

Xiaoyanzi met their gazes filled with hatred and fear, her lips slightly raised, revealing a sly smile: "How about it? Do you want to try my other medicine powders?" Her voice was crisp and pleasant, but to those bandits, it was undoubtedly a terrifying threat.

Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of every bandit. They all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Xiaoyanzi's playful eyes. Their bodies trembled involuntarily, as if they heard the bell of death.

Xiaoyanzi looked at the terrified faces of the bandits and felt a sense of accomplishment. She nodded with satisfaction and turned away.

The officers and soldiers showed great interest in the powder in Xiaoyanzi's hand. They looked at Xiaoyanzi's departing figure curiously, wondering what kind of poison could make these ferocious bandits so docile.

As Xiaoyanzi and the others left, the scene gradually calmed down. The bandits were still immersed in fear, not daring to make any unusual movements, and were finally dragged away by the officers and soldiers.

Because they had wasted two hours, the sun had already set and it was dusk. They realized that even if they continued on their way, they might not be able to reach the next city, so they decided to find a flat place to set up camp after crossing the mountain.

Fortunately, although the sky was covered with dark clouds in the afternoon, which made people feel depressing, the dark clouds gradually dispersed with the breeze, and stars appeared in the night sky, and a bright full moon hung in the sky.

Everyone walked slowly in the darkness, holding torches to light the way ahead. The friends gathered together, laughing and talking all the way, not feeling lonely at all.

Little Swallow gently opened the curtains and gazed at the full moon in the sky, with a hint of homesickness in her eyes. She missed her family.

Before they knew it, they had been away from home for nearly a month. Since leaving the palace and their parents' arms, they embarked on a journey with their friends. During this time, they experienced countless quarrels and laughter, and their lives were full of surprises. However, every full moon night, she couldn't help but miss her relatives far away.

Ziwei seemed to have noticed Xiaoyanzi's depressed mood, and she carefully sat down beside her, gently put her arm around her shoulders, and gently whispered to comfort her, saying something that only the two of them could hear. Before long, Xiaoyanzi was amused and smiled, sweeping away the previous haze.

Xiaoyanzi knew that she missed home, and so did Ziwei. For so many years, Ziwei had been living in the palace since she returned to Beijing with the emperor and his family. She had been living with the emperor and his mother. Compared to her many times away from home, this was probably the first time Ziwei had gone far away in her life! Thinking of this, Xiaoyanzi couldn't help but feel distressed and hugged Ziwei tightly.

Anya Xin sat quietly in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window, but from time to time she paid attention to the movements of the two girls. When she saw the two of them leaning against each other, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure. She did not disturb them, but chose to close her eyes and began to rest.

The intermittent voices of Yongqi and others' conversations came, and the sound, accompanied by the swaying rhythm of the carriage, gave people a sense of tranquility and peace.

After a long journey, they finally left the seemingly low mountain path.

The moonlight at night illuminates the surrounding environment, but due to the high mountains, the light appears a little dim.
