The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

But after all, Xiao Yan was the most powerful county magistrate. If he insisted on going, no matter if it was the chief constable, other yamen runners, or even County Magistrate Yuan, they had to get on their horses as well.

However, before getting on the horse, the chief constables, yamen runners and others still brought various weapons with them.

There are knives, sticks, and bows and arrows.

They couldn't go empty-handed. The county magistrate was a tiger, so they couldn't be tigers.

They still value their lives very much.

Xiao Yan originally planned to go into the bandits' lair alone and get rid of those bandits.

The reason why he brought two groups of people with him was that after he dealt with those bandits, he would have to have someone escort him back.

But when he saw that the constables and runners were all armed, he changed his mind.

When Xiao Yan and his men arrived at the foot of the mountain where the bandits' den was located, they stopped their horses and did not go up the mountain.

County Magistrate Yuan and others who were following behind also hurriedly stopped their horses.

Xiao Yan secretly used his ability to control wood and soil to surround the entire mountain. One reason was to prevent the bandits on the mountain from escaping and some fish slipping through the net. The other reason was to protect the people he brought with him from being hurt by the bandits on the mountain.

Then Xiao Yan said, "Captain Wu, go and shout. Call out as many bandits as possible. It would be best if you could call out all of them. By the way, how many leaders are there in this gang of bandits?"

"Four." Although County Magistrate Yuan was afraid, he quickly answered.

Captain Wu rode his horse tremblingly and moved forward a little, letting the shield he brought stand in front of him to cover his body as much as possible.

He turned around to look at their county magistrate and saw that he really let him shout.

He could only bite the bullet and yell at the top of his lungs, "Hey, all the bandits on the mountain, come out! Our masters are here to suppress you. If you don't come out, we will charge in and raze this bandit den to the ground. Do you understand? Hey, come out!!!"

Although he was afraid, it didn't stop him from making harsh remarks.

The other police chiefs and runners were also afraid, but Xiao Yan made a gesture and asked them to line up immediately. They had no choice but to line up quickly, all of them still riding on their horses.

The two groups of yamen runners lined up on both sides of Xiao Yan, which was quite intimidating, after all, their number was not small.

Although County Magistrate Yuan was afraid, he felt that he was the county magistrate after all. Since the county magistrate was so young and dared to take the lead, he could not hide behind the yamen runners, so he naturally joined in. However, the county magistrate's official position was higher than his, so he could not get ahead of Xiao Yan's horse head, so he stayed half a horse head behind Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan glanced at County Magistrate Yuan with some surprise, but said nothing.

"Damn it!" The bandits hadn't encountered anyone to provoke them for a long time, and they had long lost their sense of proportion. When they heard the shouting from the bottom of the mountain, they naturally came out immediately.

The four leaders of the bandits also came out to see what was going on.

The four bosses stood on the mountain extremely arrogantly, not wanting any cover, and looked down with most of their lives exposed.

When they saw Xiao Yan, the leader, who looked like a pretty boy, the four of them all put their hands on their hips and laughed out loud:

"I heard there's a new county magistrate in Dengping County. Turns out he's a complete idiot! How dare you come to our doorstep and yell at us? Boy, I advise you to leave now, or we'll get mad and make sure you don't come back!"

Xiao Yan never wastes words. He stretched out his hand to the yamen runner beside him and said, "Give it to me."

The yamen runner was drawing the bow and arrow, trembling as he faced the mountain. Hearing this, he didn't react and subconsciously handed over the bow and arrow in his hand.

One arrow was not enough, so Xiao Yan took out three more arrows from the quiver on the yamen runner's back.

"You talk too much." Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, four arrows were fired at once.

The arrows immediately flew towards the mountain. Even though the distance was so long and there was wind, every arrow hit one of the leaders right between his eyebrows.

Those bosses originally wanted to yell at Xiao Yan for overestimating his abilities, saying that he would definitely not be able to hit them from such a distance, and they had no intention of dodging. However, before they could even utter a word of ridicule, they were shot in the middle of their eyebrows. They all fell down with their mouths open, their eyes wide open.

The other bandits were stunned.

County Magistrate Yuan and others were also stunned.

"The boss!"

"Second Master!"

"Third Master!"

"Fourth Master!"

As soon as the bandits reacted, they threw themselves on the four leaders in fear, trying to see what had happened to them.

Once we were sure he was really dead, everything became even more chaotic and disorganized.

But they instinctively found a place to hide, and never dared to expose themselves to the people below the mountain without any cover like they did just now.

Everyone's heart was pounding and they didn't know what to do.

"What are you standing there for? Keep shouting." Xiao Yan said.

"Ah? Oh oh oh." Captain Wu was stunned at first, but then he reacted and immediately straightened his back and shouted even more happily:

"Listen up, everyone! Your leaders are dead. Why don't you quickly lay down your weapons and surrender? Anyone who resists will be killed just like your leaders!"

County Magistrate Yuan also reacted at this time and was extremely excited.

It turns out that the new county magistrate is both civil and military.

This is too awesome.

"You guys shout too!" At this time, County Magistrate Yuan was no longer afraid and urged others to shout as well.

The other police chiefs and yamen runners were also stunned, but then their faces lit up with joy, and they all shouted happily: "Those who resist will be killed without mercy! They will be killed without mercy!"

With so many people shouting together, the sound naturally shook the earth.

The people on the mountain were even more panicked.

"What should we do? How about we go down and surrender?"

Without a leader, they have no backbone and are like a pile of loose sand.

"We have committed many evil things, and even if we surrender we will die," someone said.

"Then let's run away? That brat is too scary. He killed four of the bosses with just one arrow. I don't dare to confront him anyway."

"Yes, run!" I saw many bandits secretly fleeing in other directions of the mountain.

As for those who felt that they were captured to be minions and had not actually done anything evil, they naturally put down their weapons and surrendered.

Captain Wu and his men used ropes to tie up all those who surrendered, one by one, and then took them back for trial and convicted according to the law.

"Sir, what should we do if someone else runs away?" County Magistrate Yuan asked anxiously, but just as he had finished his words, he heard a cry of pain from the other side. Many bandits were tripped by something and rolled down the mountain.

The weapons in his hands also fell.

"Hurry!" When County Magistrate Yuan saw this, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked Captain Wu to go up and tie up those people as well.

Those people tied him up even tighter, almost completely.

Because those who surrendered have already confessed some things, saying that those who escaped had done many bad things and killed people without blinking an eye.

Anyway, not a single fish escaped the bandit's den, and Xiao Yan and his team suffered no casualties.

A lot of valuables such as gold and silver also rolled down from those people.
