After the marriage, the sick and weak husband fell off the horse

On the day when Xie Chunchao led everyone to set off, Qinggu, which had been raining constantly, finally cleared up.

She did not go with the local generals and officials, but led her army of women alone to the place where bandits gathered.

Feng Dong led another team of troops from another direction to assist.

Just as Xie Chunchao led everyone out of the city, the investigators sent out earlier also came back with news.

"Your Highness, this is the news they just sent back."

Xie Chunchao heard this and took the letter from the passer. She unfolded the paper and saw clearly written inside it the latest news about the bandits today.

After Xie Chunchao read it and took note of it, he folded the letter and handed it to the female soldier beside him, saying, "Go and deliver this letter to Mr. Feng."

"Yes."

With the information in this letter, Feng Dong should be able to clearly understand who the mole hidden among them was and was bribed.

The mighty army marched towards the rolling mountains in unison, with their heads held high and their chests high, as majestic as blazing flames.

There are many mountains and forests in Chu State, so there are especially many bandits in the territory.

The court in this land often needs to make great efforts to quell banditry. If it can recruit peace, it will find ways to recruit peace, and if it cannot, it will directly eliminate it completely.

Someone in the court once pointed out that the fundamental solution to the banditry problem lies in people's livelihood. As long as the people can afford to eat and survive, who is willing to live such a life of not having enough to eat every day?

Therefore, the late emperor, with the help of Bai Qiusheng, has vigorously developed people's livelihood and economy in recent years, and the banditry in Chu State has been much less than before.

"Your Highness, Princess." Jiao Hong'e pointed forward on horseback and said, "We'll reach Xiao'er Mountain just ahead."

Xie Chunchao looked up after hearing the words. The mountains ahead were towering into the clouds, and their momentum was steep.

This is the biggest difficulty in suppressing bandits. Once those cunning bandits hide in the mountains, it is difficult for the regular army to catch them one by one.

Xie Chunchao: "Dismount your horse later and walk up the mountain. Leave some people at the foot of the mountain to guard you."

"Everyone, we must fight this battle beautifully." Xie Chunchao said loudly, "Show our strength to those who oppose us in Shanling. We are no worse than anyone else!"

As soon as Xie Chunchao finished speaking, all the female soldiers waved their weapons neatly and made a powerful response.

Xie Chunchao got off the horse neatly. She touched the cold horizontal knife on her waist, feeling a little more at ease in her heart.

Hu'er Mountain is densely forested and steep. Even if they found a path, the climb was far more difficult than they thought. Many roads required walking on all fours to climb up.

Many of them almost tripped and fell off the cliff, but fortunately the people around them had quick eyesight and quick hands to pull them back.

After everyone walked away for about an hour, they finally met the investigation team.

"Your Highness." Qiu Qingying, who was in charge of the investigation team, half-knelt in front of Xie Chunchao, "You are finally here."

"How is the situation now?" Xie Chunchao helped Qiu Qingying and asked.

Qiu Qingying stood up and pointed to the left front and said, "They fled toward the southeast. We are chasing them now, and we caught up with them in about half a stick of incense."

When everyone heard this, they looked overjoyed, and they were all gearing up and looking forward to killing more bandits.

The Women's Army were victims of bandits in the past, so they hated the cold-blooded and cruel bandits more than anyone else.

"Boss, is it really okay for us to take this route?"

"What are you worrying about? Can what the fairy said be wrong?"

The soldier was a little uneasy and said, "I heard that a large army was sent to surround us this time, and even the princess came."

"Bah, what are you afraid of, princess? Can she be as powerful as our fairy aunt?"

The woman known as Fairy Girl was wearing a light blue dress. She was slender and slim, and every move she made was elegant and dignified. Logically speaking, such a beauty would only have one end in the bandits' den, but the way the bandits looked at her was... She was extremely respectful, and even a little afraid, not daring to blaspheme even a little bit, as if she really was a fairy. She was covered with a veil, with only a pair of beautiful eyes exposed, and her voice was as cold as jade, "We will be completely safe after we cross this mountain."

"Say less and leave quickly."

"Yes."

When she spoke, even the chatter fell silent.

The speed of the entire team also increased.

This bandit team, dressed in disorder, didn't take two steps before a small man with a pockmarked face rushed up. He screamed in panic, "It's not good! Those soldiers' girls are catching up!"

"Women?" The boss stepped forward and asked, "Are there only women? Are there no other soldiers?"

The pock-marked boy shook his head and gasped, "No more, just women. The first woman is even more beautiful, just like the fairy in the painting."

All the bandits laughed when they heard this, and one bandit said, "Brother, the court is here to give us a woman, hahahahaha."

"What's there to be afraid of from a bunch of girls? How many are here? Is it enough for each of our brothers?"

The 'Fairy Girl' looked ugly, frowned and said, "Don't underestimate them, they are no worse than the regular army."

Although the mountain bandits stopped laughing when they heard this, they didn't take Xian Gu's words seriously either.

Although there is a fairy girl beside them, how could everyone in this world be a fairy girl?

In their eyes, women are still weak and can be bullied.

"Speed ​​up your pace and walk quickly! Don't let them catch up!"

The mountain bandits were a little dissatisfied. When they suppressed the bandits in the past, although they hid here and there, Fairy Girl would also let them fight and ambush them, but this time they kept running.

"Fairy Girl, they are just a group of girls, shall we leave some people to ambush here?"

Just as the fairy was about to speak, an arrow suddenly hit a bandit behind the team. The man howled in pain and struggled down.

All the bandits were frightened and hurriedly looked for cover. Fortunately, this was a mountain forest and there was no shortage of thick trees.

But there were also many bandits who had no time to dodge and were hit by the overwhelming rain of arrows and fell in a pool of blood.

"Oh shit!"

The bandit boss turned red and shouted, "Fight them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the women's soldiers also screamed and rushed out. Seeing that she couldn't stop their impulse, the fairy cursed silently and prepared to escape on her own.

But just as she turned around, a silver arrow came from behind, grazing her face quickly. The arrow took away her veil, and then came the woman's arrogant voice, "Stop! Don't even think about leaving! This arrow I won’t go sideways again!”

The fairy girl looked back at her, and Xie Chunchao, who was about to draw his bow and shoot an arrow, was also shocked, "Why is it you?!"

"Baizhi..."

She thought that after she was released by Bai Qiusheng, she found a quiet place to live her life...

Why...

Why are you here and hanging out with the bandits?

Is she the fairy the bandit talks about?

Bai Zhi smiled. It was different from the weak or proud smile before, but a soft and plain smile, "I'm glad you didn't call me Xiyao."
