Chapter 14: Secret Fight (1)

"Are you leaving?! Are you back?" Di Jinghui asked urgently. Meng Dan was forced to lower his eyes unconsciously by his eager eyes, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart: Before coming to say goodbye, he was obviously going to act as if nothing had happened, but why did he be so flustered when he heard his voice and saw his eyes? It was all his fault, this useless Han man, who knew he was leaving, was so nervous. He was just a few days away, and he was anxious like this...

Han Bin also stood by the door and reached out to pull her dress: "Sister Meng Dan, when will you come back?" Meng Dan held his little hand and smiled gently: "Bin'er, call me Sister Hongyan from now on." "Ah, Sister Hongyan? Have you changed your name?" "Hmm, does it sound good? Do you like this name?" Han Bin rolled his eyes: "It's okay. Sister Hongyan, I like it!" Li Yuanfang came to the door and saw Di Jinghui standing blankly on the side. Meng Dan ignored him, so he pulled Di Jinghui's sleeve quietly and called, "Meng...uh, Hongyan, sit in the room." Di Jinghui came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Ah, yes, Hongyan, please sit in the room."

Meng Dan glanced at Di Jinghui, and the blue waves in his eyes were flowing. He finally held his smile and shook his head and said, "I won't sit there, there is nothing special. I'll say apart to you." "But," Di Jinghui was a little anxious: "Where are you going? Aren't you going here to wait for Mei Yingchun?" Meng Dan gently raised the corners of his mouth, and the bright red sunset outside the room seemed to fly on her face at this moment: "I didn't say I wanted to leave here, but I was just going back to Tingzhou with Hasler and the others. Spring is here, we are going to find an oasis with plump water and grass to grazing camel horses. We can't always wander around in this desert."

Di Jinghui breathed a lot: "So that's it, there's no need to say goodbye solemnly." "You!" Meng Dan let him be so happy and said ruthlessly: "I really should tell you that I will never go back!" "You won't." Di Jinghui said leisurely, and it was completely relaxed at this moment. He put his hands behind his back and lowered his head to look at Meng Dan. Meng Dan felt that the broken hair on his forehead trembled slightly with his scorching breath, and the tip of his heart became numb. This feeling was so warm and gentle... She no longer had the ability to make her tone hard, so she had to whisper: "I... will go for a few days, and then see you again--you-."

"Okay, let's wait here." Di Jinghui answered seriously. Li Yuanfang was really funny when she heard it beside her. Do they have any other choice besides waiting?

"Then, you have a good rest, I'm leaving." After saying this, Meng Dan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to turn his head to walk out the door, Li Yuanfang stopped her: "Don't leave first, Hongyan, I want to ask you something."

"Ah, what's the matter?" Since getting to know each other, Meng Dan found that she liked to see Li Yuanfang's serious expression more and more, so she turned her head slightly and stared at him intently. Li Yuanfang was immersed in her thoughts, habitually locked her eyebrows, and asked, "Hongyan, how many times have you found bandits committed murder in the desert?" Meng Dan thought seriously and replied, "There are three times in total."

"Have you ever confronted the bandits head-on?" Meng Dan shook his head: "Never once." "Never once?" "Hmm." Meng Dan bit his lip and said frustrated: "These bandits are so elusive, and the desert is boundless, so there is no way to search. There are not many caravans walking in Shatuochi now, and I don't know when the caravans passed by, so I can only touch them. So what I saw three times were the scene after the bandits robbed and killed the caravan." Li Yuanfang raised his eyes and stared at Meng Dan and asked, "If it is really like what you said, where did the bandits know the whereabouts of the caravan?"

Meng Dan then said, "Yes, I can't figure this out either. It seems that someone informed the bandits of the time and route of the caravan entering Shatuochi, otherwise they would never have caught all the caravans in one go. And..." "What else?" "And where are the camps of these bandits? I have taken people to run all over Shatuochi in the past few months, but I have never found a suspicious location. But from the locations where the bandits attacked the caravans, they are all over Shatuochi, and they must have camps inside Shatuochi. But... where is this camp?"

Li Yuanfang pondered for a moment and smiled at Meng Dan: "There are these strange things that your brother found, right?" Meng Dan didn't feel Thiel: "It's almost the same." After thinking about it, she said again: "There is another weird thing that I discovered, and I haven't had time to tell my brother."

Li Yuanfang and Di Jinghui met and smiled. They both heard the innocence and pride in Meng Dan's tone that could not be concealed. Li Yuanfang asked, "What's so weird? Can you tell us?" Meng Dan took turns to look at the two of them, deliberately paused for a moment before answering, "Well, I found a caravan that was massacred three times. The scene was full of corpses and blood flowed into a river, but there was no trace of goods and chariots and horses." Li Yuanfang guessed, "The goods and chariots and horses were robbed by bandits."

Meng Dan flashed with his green eyes and said with a slight smugness: "It's fine for the bandits to take away goods and carriages, but why should they take away all the weapons?" "Weapons?!" Li Yuanfang asked in surprise. Meng Dan said "Yes": "I found that the bandits carefully cleaned the scene in these three robberies. Judging from the clothes, the bodies were all from the caravans. But I think it may not be that the bandits had no casualties at all, but the corpse of the bandits could not be found at the scene. In addition, except for the weapons that fell to the local area, they knew that they were from the caravans, there was no bandit's weapon. Even some bodies shot to death by arrows and crossbows on their bodies were carefully pulled out."

"There is such a thing." Li Yuanfang murmured to himself, falling into deep thought. Meng Dan looked at him, then looked at Di Jinghui, and nodded pretty: "Then I'll leave." Di Jinghui hurriedly said, "I'll give you away." Just as he was about to accompany her out, Li Yuanfang called behind him: "Di Jinghui, stop."

"What are you doing?" Di Jinghui stood up with a suspicious look on his face, and Li Yuanfang stepped forward: "I'll take Miss Hongyan, go back to the house!" As he said that, he reached out and stopped Di Jinghui without saying a word. Meng Dan was also a little surprised, but under Li Yuanfang's instructions, he obediently walked out of the door. Han Bin was about to follow him, but Li Yuanfang pushed the door backwards and locked him in the house.
