The information book described all sorts of methods that had been used by the previous officials of Lan Jie Shan to deal with the bandits.

They had once confronted bandits face to face, but had ended up suffering a crushing defeat and suffering heavy casualties.

He had also tried to have his soldiers work in the mountains as spies, but within a few days, the spy had died on the mountaintop.

He was also stripped naked and hung from a hundred-year-old tree on the mountainside.

To show his might.

These were just side dishes, and there were even worse ones.

The officials and soldiers set fire to the mountain in an attempt to burn down all the bandits who lived there.

However, they never would have thought that Burning Mountain was not only related to the safety of the bandits.

It was also related to the citizens who depended on cutting firewood to survive. The bandits only sealed the mountain boundary, and they could also chop firewood in places that were not sealed.

However, if the mountain were to be burned, what would they use to subsidize their families, and what would they use to support themselves?

As the benefits were great, some villagers informed the bandits,

Before the fire on the mountain could start, the bandits had already taken over the homes of the officials and soldiers.

Every house had been turned into ashes …

Lin Tangyu suffered a huge loss at Su Jinruo's hands, and even more so, did not dare to provoke Shen Hancheng, who was defending Su Jinruo.

He hadn't bothered her for days.

The journey was extremely peaceful.

A crescent moon rose into the sky, and the sky had already darkened.

Su Jinruo and his group travelled quickly, but today they coincidentally travelled all the way to the wilderness.

There was no village ahead of them, and no store behind them. They could only set up a tent and rest on the spot.

They had been prepared for such a situation.

All the tools had been prepared, and everything was ready.

However, the problem was …

Lin Tangyu was ordered to leave the capital in a hurry.

He had not prepared such a thing to deal with this situation.

Smoke curled up in the air as the firewood crackled.

Qian Yi tidied up the tent, walked over and said respectfully to Shen Hancheng:

"Mistress, the tent has already been set up. Mistress can enter the tent to rest."

Shen Hancheng's gaze swept across the seated Lin Tangyu, and stopped at the calm face of Su Jinruo.

He said, "There are many mosquitoes in the wilderness. There are only two tents. This King's tent is rather spacious. Which one of you is squeezed together with This King?"

Hearing this, Su Jinruo could not help but narrow his eyes.

He never knew that Shen Hancheng was so easy to get along with.

In the face of this situation, the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng should have turned a blind eye and ignored them.

How could he care about the life and death of others?

What's more …

And this was just a night out in the wilderness.

Lin Tangyu made the first decision, "This official is only the secondary envoy, I am of a lower class and have a higher order. This official cannot go up, so, this official is not suitable to share a tent with the Duke."

He didn't have as many things as Su Jinruo thought.

Although he was a little suspicious of Shen Hancheng's good intentions this time, compared to sharing the same tent with him, he was much more worried and afraid all night long.

He would rather make a choice than guess his intentions.

Su Jinruo lowered her eyes, "This official has always had the habit of sleeping alone, it would be a mistake to sleep in the same room as others, since the Duke did not bother about our lowly status, why would Vice-Envoy Lin care?"

Lin Tangyu laughed coldly and said: "Master Su's words are too kind. Your highness doesn't care about the lowly status between us, he has the demeanor of a gentleman. Furthermore, the Master Su is currently a subordinate of the Duke. If you are in the same room with his subordinate, you might be able to … "

Shen Hancheng laughed lowly as he looked up at him.

He saw a pair of eyes that were as deep as the sea looking straight at him. It was deep and strange.

Su Jinruo suddenly felt a chill on his back, and then he heard Shen Hancheng say: "Then do as Vice-Envoy Lin said, Master Su and I will share the same tent."
