spend time

No wonder Qin Hu was so excited.

Since the princess led the troops to suppress the bandits in Li County at the beginning of last year, Nanyang County has immediately become peaceful. Bandits large and small suddenly disappeared without a trace. The guards were all eager to try, but they couldn't find any opponents. Today, we suddenly found traces of bandits again, how could we not make people excited.

Jiang Shaohua raised his eyebrows, put down the little flower, and got off the carriage: "Let everyone stop and invite Commander Song and Commander Liu to come immediately."

After the princess gave the order, everyone immediately stopped repairing. Song Yuan and Liu Hengchang came quickly.

"How many bandits are there?" Jiang Shaohua asked bluntly.

It was the guards of the third battalion who were exploring the road. Liu Hengchang heard this and replied: "Back to the princess, this group of bandits is not large, probably no more than a hundred people. It is still half a day's journey to Ye County. They are hiding here. They should be Want to rob the cloth merchants who come to Ye County."

Jiang Shaohua's eyes flashed with coolness: "Even if a tiger fights a rabbit, you have to use all your strength. Commander Liu, you should call all the guards of the third battalion now and go and suppress the bandits."

Liu Hengchang hesitated for a moment and glanced at Song Yuan.

Song Yuan said calmly: "There are still two hundred personal guards here, which are enough to protect the princess. Commander Liu just goes to suppress the bandits with peace of mind."

Only then did Liu Hengchang accept the order.

Chen Jinyu came over with Xiao Hua in her arms and spoke boldly: "Princess Princess, if you capture the bandits this time, don't kill them all. Pick some strong ones and send them to Bowang County, where the mines are short of manpower."

The mines Chen Jinyu mentioned were silver mines.

Jiang Shaohua understood in his heart and nodded: "That's fine. However, the first priority is to suppress the bandits. We can't lose the manpower of the Guards Battalion in vain because of a small loss."

Liu Hengchang responded again and quickly went to order troops.

This time, three battalions of personal guards came out to protect the princess. One man and two horses, everyone wore soft armor and carried at least two weapons in their hands. The guards were well-trained and soon gathered together with the captain as the center.

Suppression of bandits is something that all the guards have been waiting for for a long time. The so-called raising an army for a thousand days is spent in a short time. There was nothing to say, and there was no need for the princess to give a special lecture. All the guards went off in high spirits and with murderous intent.

Only Li Tianxi was left behind.

First of all, Li Tianxi had been in the military camp for less than three months and was still a new recruit. Secondly, Li Tianxi now has the important task of raising and training falcons, so it is not appropriate to take risks.

Jiang Shaohua was also willing to fulfill Liu Hengchang's selfish desire to protect his calf. I specifically asked Li Tianxi and Qin Hu and Meng Sanbao to stay together.

Li Tianxi didn't think much of it. After coming here, he visited from time to time and muttered: "Uncle, too. He kept me in such a good opportunity to make a contribution."

Qin Hu failed to kill the bandit, and his hand was itching, so he slapped Li Tianxi smoothly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You idiot, have you ever killed anyone with a knife? Let you go, you It will only be a hindrance.”

Meng Sanbao answered with a smile: "That's right, just stay here honestly!"

Li Tianxi was not stupid either. He could hear the contempt in the two people's voices and couldn't help but blink: "Do you look down on me and think I am incompetent?"

Qin Hu twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "How dare you? I heard that you can raise eagles to boil them. This is a first-class skill."

"Yes, our brothers are very impressed." Meng Sanbao laughed and agreed: "This has nothing to do with you being Commander Liu's nephew."

Ah! It was as if the two of them had no background. If she hadn't looked at Qin Commander Meng Commander's face, would the princess have valued and promoted them two so much?

Li Tianxi cursed in his heart, but didn't say much.

My uncle told me that if I have just arrived and my foundation is not stable, I should be honest and low-key first. After two years, the nest of eaglets will grow up and be tame... Humph! Let’s discuss the merits when the time comes!
...Everyone settled in place to rest.

Liu Hengchang sent people back from time to time to report news.

"To report to the princess, there are less than a hundred people on the other side, and they don't even have decent weapons. As soon as we took action, they were so frightened that they fled in all directions."

"General Liu ordered everyone to track down and kill the bandits. Those who can be captured alive will be captured alive. Anyone who refuses to surrender will be killed."

Jiang Shaohua nodded approvingly: "You send a message to Commander Liu on behalf of my princess, asking him to concentrate on killing the bandits, and there is no need to send people back and forth to report. I am here waiting for good news from him."

The soldier who delivered the message responded with a shout, jumped on his horse, the horse's hooves clattered, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Shaohua thought for a while and said to Song Yuan: "It will be dark in a few hours. It is not suitable to rush any more today. Let's settle down and rest here. Let everyone set up camp!"

Song Yuan was ordered to make arrangements.

When traveling, it is inevitable that you will have to sleep in the wilderness. The guards all brought simple tents and found a spacious open space to set them up, so they could sleep for a night.

This was not the first time Jiang Shaohua slept in the wild, sleeping in a tent like the guards.

Qin Hu, Meng Sanbao and the others were left to do the rough and heavy work of setting up tents. Jiang Shaohua sat in the carriage and listened.

The bandits turned out to be ten miles away, and most of their escape was into the mountain valley. Some of them panicked and came running in this direction.

Song Yuan sneered, stepped forward with a long knife in his hand, slashed several times, and chopped off two bloody heads.

Chen Jinyu and Ma Yaozong's eyes were bright, and they all exclaimed: "Commander Song is really amazing!"

Lu Cong looked at the two corpses of bandits in the distance. His elegant and handsome face turned paler, and the muscles on his face twitched faintly. After enduring it for a moment, I couldn't bear it any longer. I lowered my head and went behind a tree and vomited completely.

After calming down, Lu Cong came back again.

Chen Jinyu and Ma Yaozong secretly laughed for a moment and came here specifically to care about Lu Sheren: "Lu Sheren has never seen such a killing scene before, so it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable for a while."

"Once it's new, twice once it's familiar, you'll get used to it."

Lu Cong smiled wryly and laughed at himself: "I have been an official for many years and think highly of myself. Only now do I realize that there are so many shortcomings."

Chen Jinyu felt soft-hearted and immediately comforted him: "People from Lushe, don't belittle yourself. We are not as good as you in socializing with people and working around."

Lu Cong: "..."

This knife struck steadily and accurately!
Fortunately, Lu Cong could still laugh: "Chen Sheren is joking. What kind of ability do I have? It's just that I have been in the officialdom for several years and have grown thick-skinned with my age. I will learn more from you in the future."

Chen Jinyu smiled and said: "People from Lu She are so polite. We all work as servants for the princess, and we should learn from each other."

Ma Yaozong has always been on the same side as Chen Jinyu, and he immediately echoed: "What Chen Sheren said is what I think in my heart."

Jiang Shaohua in the carriage smiled silently.

When it got dark, Liu Hengchang finally came back and reported in person: "To report to the princess, the general led his men in pursuit for half a day and killed thirty-five bandits and captured fifty-two alive." (End of this chapter)
