Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 284 Catching the Thief

After Ruan Qingqing came out from Ge Lao, she ran into Chi Jingxiao.

"Brother Chi?"

"Well, I came to find you. I heard you were here." Chi Jingxiao's eyes were clear and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Mr. Ge recently got some good tea and asked me to taste it." Ruan Qingqing smiled warmly, "What do you want from me?"

Chi Jingxiao hesitated, and turned his tongue in his mouth, "You have been exhausted in the past few days, why don't you take this opportunity to rest more?"

"I'm not busy today. I'm just wandering around and having a great time. By the way, you just said you wanted to look for me, but what's the matter?" Ruan Qingqing asked him with her head tilted.

Chi Jingxiao's face was tense, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "We found that the people of Moliang have been making a lot of noise recently, and they have been sending more troops to the border. I'm afraid they are still unwilling to give up, and want to take advantage of the busy farming season to come and rob the three cities."

Ruan Qingqing raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Has their civil unrest been quelled?"

"It's a temporary reconciliation because there is no food for them to continue fighting each other." Chi Jingxiao explained.

Just then, a small blue figure flashed past them.

"That direction is the northwest courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Aren't the children arranged in the southwest courtyard?" Ruan Qingqing was a little puzzled. "You have been here for more than half a year, but you haven't learned the rules yet? Are you still running around in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Chi Jingxiao frowned and said in a vague manner, "Northwest Courtyard? We put the latest rice seeds there to dry. There are also several granaries there."

Ruan Qingqing's expression changed slightly, "Stop him!"

There's something weird about this kid!

Chi Jingxiao looked at her, they both nodded, and quickly chased after the little blue figure.

The guards at the gate saw a child trying to get in, and after repeated attempts to expel him failed, they immediately and unceremoniously picked up the child.

"Let me go! You bad guys! I just came here to play out of curiosity, why did you arrest me?" The child struggled desperately with his limbs, like a turtle with its shell fixed.

"It's been more than half a year. Have you learned all the rules? Haven't we repeatedly emphasized where you can go and where you can't go?"

Ruan Qingqing, who had chased after him, asked harshly.

"I'm just curious, yes! I'm just curious!" The child stopped struggling immediately after hearing Ruan Qingqing's voice, and even whispered to himself to defend himself. When he saw Ruan Qingqing looking at him, his mouth instantly shrank, and he looked pitiful, wanting to cry but not being able to.

"What's the point of keeping you if you can't even learn the rules after half a year!" Ruan Qingqing stared at him with a gloomy face.

"My Lord City Lord, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again next time!" The tears in the little boy's eyes suddenly burst out like a dam breaking.

"This is just one chance, don't do it again!" Ruan Qingqing turned to Wu Da who was carrying him and ordered, "Wu Da, send him to the front and hand him over to General Chi, then come back quickly! In addition, you all should be more alert recently, and don't miss any unusual places."

"Yes, sir!" Wu Da immediately picked up the kid in his hand.

Ruan Qingqing went in to check out the worry, and only left with Chi Jingxiao after making sure that everything was fine.

"If the people from Moliang want to take over the granary in the City Lord's Mansion, shouldn't they scout the area first?" Ruan Qingqing said to herself.

Chi Jingxiao sneered, "Send a kid to scout the place in broad daylight?"

"If you want to avoid being discovered, it's best to come here at night!" Ruan Qingqing blurted out, and suddenly she was stunned. "There's something wrong with those children! I've always found it strange that there are so many children in Bale City for General Chi to pick up?"

Chi Jingxiao was stunned. "You suspect there is a spy for Mo Liang among the children? But which spy would deliberately go to scout the place in broad daylight?"

"What if the kid just came here to remind us?" Ruan Qingqing looked at Chi Jingxiao and said.

"Moliang will take action in the next two days!" the two said in unison, and then they saw fear in each other's eyes.

If the children in the City Lord's Mansion have a large number of Mo Liang's spies, they will come to steal food and then cooperate with these spies...

"General Zhang can no longer spare any manpower, and Chase and the others haven't come back yet..." Chi Jingxiao's expression was stern, "Qingqing, I will guard the Northwest Courtyard for the next two days, okay?"

"Okay, you watch quietly in the dark. And call a few wolves on the mountain to help you. Then we'd better catch them all in one fell swoop to avoid endless troubles!" Ruan Qingqing said with a heavy face.

Chi Jingxiao nodded in agreement.

They headed toward the Southwest Yard together again, and before they arrived they heard a group of kids beating someone up.

"Stop it, all of you! You are beating up one person in the yard. Are you feeding everything I taught you to the wolf? What I taught you is to defend against the enemy, to guard the City Lord's Mansion and to protect the people of the three cities, not to let you kill each other!" Chi Jianyu was so angry that his beard was shaking.

Frightened by his majesty, the children stopped what they were doing, lowered their heads, and looked like they were listening carefully.

Ruan Qingqing glanced at the little boy who was pushed to the ground. Although he was covered in bruises, she could recognize him as the child they had seen at the gate of the Northwest Courtyard.

Her eyes roamed over the children who were close to him.

That night, Ruan Qingqing, who was taking a nap, heard her ears move slightly. She immediately turned over and got up, quickly putting on her nightgown hanging at the head of the bed.

"Master..." Yue Linlang walked in and prepared to report.

"Shh! Put on your night clothes, take your arrows and crossbows, and let's go take a look together!" Ruan Qingqing whispered.

"Okay!" Yue Linlang knew the seriousness of the matter, so she didn't delay and quickly got busy.

In less than a quarter of an hour, two men came out from the main courtyard in the middle like ghosts at night, and quickly lurked near the northwest courtyard to investigate.

Sure enough, there was a dark shadow walking inside!

A loud wolf howl was heard, and the northwest courtyard suddenly became bright.

All the doors were slammed shut, and several tall and mighty wolves on the high walls stared at the group of masked men below with eyes like cold needles.

"Boss, we've been discovered! What should we do?"

"Boss, we are surrounded!"

The one who was called the leader was looking around nervously, and finally spat on the ground angrily, "Damn, those brats are so useless!"

"Warriors, let's fight our way out!"

"Cut a bloody road!"

Ruan Qingqing raised her eyebrows. You even stole things into my city lord's mansion and you still want to leave. You are so shameless!

She immediately took out her crossbow, aimed, and fired, killing one person at a time.

Yue Linlang next to her was not slow either, and shot out arrows immediately after Ruan Qingqing, also hitting one target at a time.

Just as they were shooting vigorously, Ruan Qingqing felt a whistling wind coming towards her with devastating force.

"Qingqing!"

Chi Jingxiao's heart-wrenching voice was in my ears.
