Chapter 91 Fang Yueling requests to fight

Old Purin was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly advised: "That's not possible. Going to the battlefield will cost lives. Let alone meritorious service, whether you can come back alive is a question."

"But..." Fang Yueling still wanted to persist.

"Absolutely not!" Old Purin said sternly.

"Okay then." Fang Yueling had no choice but to compromise.

In her heart, she has long regarded Mr. Purun as a family member, and she naturally does not want her family to worry.

However, this did not mean that she gave up the idea.

In a sense, she was even more determined.

Since Mr. Purun did not refute her point of view, it meant that if she went to fight in the war and made meritorious service, she would receive many rewards, which would ensure that she would have no worries about food and clothing throughout her life.

"Going to the battlefield is not as simple as you think. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the army is well-trained. You are still so young. Aren't you looking for death if you go up there?" Old Purin nagged, "You are not allowed to have such thoughts in the future!"

"I know, I know." Fang Yueling muttered.

In fact, if you can be as wealthy as Fu Mansion, then it's okay to gamble your life.

The bet was won, and he became famous overnight.

If you lose the bet, you will die quickly and painlessly.

The meal ended hastily. Fang Yueling took over the dishwashing job as usual, and then was busy doing other tasks.

And Mr. Purun always felt something was wrong, so he kept talking with her all the way.

After her explanation, Mr. Purun gradually felt relieved and left after a brief warning.

Fang Yueling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After sending Old Purin away, she sneaked all the way to the main hall of Fu Mansion.

She was younger, and the Fu family was not on guard against her.

Therefore, she successfully entered the main hall.

She took some valuable trinkets with ease and stuffed them into her pockets.

As long as these things are sold, he will have money to buy weapons, and Fu Yanping is so busy recently, he will definitely not find out for a while.

She thought proudly, her hands moved quickly, and her pockets were quickly filled.

Then, she turned over and flashed out of the palace, quickly leaving the Fu Mansion.

Fu Yanping, I can’t help you this time.

When I come back after my meritorious service, I will repay you double the amount of these things.

Bian Yun Mountain.

Bianyun Mountain is the general name for the mountains outside the capital. It complements the natural dangers of the imperial city and jointly protects the safety of the capital.

As the Xuefeng Kingdom gradually declined, the corvee taxes imposed by the government on the people gradually increased.

More and more people were forced to go up the mountains and into grass, and fled to this desolate and barren mountains to become bandits.

As a result, Bianyun Mountain is now known as "one village within five miles and one fort within ten miles", which shows the proliferation of bandits.

"Is this here?"

Fu Yanping looked at the mountains in front of him and touched the handle of the knife. "Yes, sir, the thirty-six bandits of Bian Yun are here." Liu Ma explained later.

"The Thirty-six Bandits of Bianyun are a force in Bianyun City, but despite their majestic name, there are actually only dozens of small villages." Liu Ma then added, "On average, each village is estimated to be less than forty or fifty. people."

"Then why didn't the government come to suppress the bandits?" Fu Yanping really didn't understand.

If you say that the bandits are particularly powerful and the government is helpless, so the government ignores them, then Fu Yanping understands.

But there are only forty or fifty people in this village. If they encounter the government's regular army, it won't be difficult to sweep them away, right?

"It's not that we don't want to, it's that those aristocratic families won't let it go. Which of the aristocratic families in the capital doesn't have some connection with the mountains and rivers here?"

Liu Ma shrugged and explained.

"Many things that are inconvenient for their family to do, or that are illegal and cannot be solved openly, are basically handed over to these bandits in the end, so a win-win situation is achieved for both parties."

"Every time there is a big move by the imperial court, we generals often haven't received the news yet. The family has revealed our marching route to the bandits in advance."

"What's more, there are so many virgin forests in Bianyun Mountain and the terrain is complicated. It would not be easy to send troops to clean them up. In the end, the current situation was formed."

"Under normal circumstances, as long as bandits don't enter the village on a large scale and don't go too far, the government will basically not take care of them."

Listening to Liu Ma's explanation, Fu Yanping nodded, seeming to understand why Xuefeng Kingdom was rapidly declining.

"That's it." Fu Yanping said, looking at the lush mountains, and shouted at a bush swaying in the breeze, "Wild dogs, come out to meet your master."

All the soldiers following Fu Yanping grinned in pain, and even Liu Ma twitched the corner of his mouth.

Is my lord so arrogant?

"How brave!" came a heroic voice, and then a dense crowd appeared on the mountainside, each with rough faces and evil eyes.

"Good dog!" Fu Yanping nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the one-eyed man walking out of the crowd and smiled.

"This is Zhong Linxiong, the village leader of Juyitang." Military Cao Liu Ma said with sweat dripping from his back while explaining to the general.

"Juyitang can be said to be the largest group of mountain bandits in Bianyun Mountain, with as many as four to five hundred people. Through smuggling with aristocratic families, they have obtained a large amount of military armor and weapons. Their strength cannot be underestimated."

"Also, although Zhong Linxiong is the head of the family, he is not a very vicious person. To be precise, the Zhong family from which Zhong Linxiong comes is a wealthy man with small assets."

"Although it is not as good as the aristocratic families in the capital, they are still dominant in the countryside."

"He once joined the army, but he was not assigned to our veteran general. Instead, he served as an ordinary captain in General Li Jinu's Northern Conquest Army, and stayed there for thirteen years."

"Because the Northern Expedition Army has been guarding northern Xinjiang for a long time, Zhong Linxiong has very little contact with his family."

"After Zhong Linxiong was injured and retreated from the battlefield, he discovered that his family's ancient house on fertile land had been occupied by the Yuan family in the capital because there was no son in the family."

"And his only sister, because she couldn't bear the insult from the Yuan family, finally hanged herself."

"Father Zhong suffered such a blow that he fell ill and sadly passed away."

"Zhong Linxiong was hit by this and rushed into the capital in a rage. He bloodbathed the Yuan family in the capital that night. This was the famous 'South Case' during the late emperor's time."

"Later, under the late emperor's wanted order, Zhong Linxiong brought several brothers in the army into Yunshan Luocao and became bandits."

"Because he had served in the army and was very courageous, he soon started a business with his brothers. Through mergers and acquisitions, he became the largest bandit group in Bianyun Mountain."

Liu Ma explained that he had heard a little bit about this person when he fought with General Fu in all directions in his early years. Later, after some inquiring, he finally understood a series of his experiences.

"He is quite a man." Finally, Fu Yanping commented.

He had also heard about the "South Case", and he also knew that the head of the Yuan family was none other than the late emperor's teacher Yuan Wenchu!

After the "South Case" occurred, the direct lineage of the Yuan family was basically wiped out with blood. The late emperor was furious, but in the end he did not know why and let it go, and it became a taboo for many aristocratic families.
