King Wuyou led the Qi army and only stayed at the station in the north of the capital city, strengthening the camp and training the troops every day. When he had time, he took Qi Lu around the city or went hunting in the mountains and forests outside the city. It took less than half a month.
, became familiar with the generals from various countries stationed in the city, and knew the terrain inside and outside the capital city well.
And the cases of young women being murdered that had happened frequently in most cities have been stopped for the time being. Therefore, most of the people injured were officials, ladies and ladies of gentry families. Therefore, people were panicked. Following Yan, Qin, Chen,
With the arrival of the Qi Si ** team, the case no longer occurred, which made the people temporarily feel at ease. The government office in the city responsible for investigating the case had no clue in the past few days and could only strengthen patrols at night.
When King Wuyou arrived in Dadu, he naturally met with the officials of the city defense government office several times and talked about the case. The arresting general of that government office was named Tao Rongtian. He saw that although King Wuyou was a prince, he was very polite.
Be polite and tell the details of the case.
Two months ago, a young lady from a gentry family in Dadu City was found missing at night. After a day of searching, the family found the girl's body in a dense forest outside the city. Her body was covered with scars and she was naked.
It seemed that he had been bitten by something, and his condition was terrible. After Wu Zuo's examination, he found that he had died of humiliation. Wu Zuo also told General Tao alone that it didn't look like ordinary people.
Later, every three to five days, a woman was killed, and her death was basically the same. The families of the officials and gentry were so frightened that they invited martial arts masters and Taoists to guard against her all night, but to no avail, and the people were robbed as usual.
General Tao also sent soldiers from the government office to strengthen patrols, and even ambushed some people's houses, but not even a shadow was seen. If they guard the east of the city, something will happen to the west of the city; if they guard to the west of the city, something will happen to the south of the city; General Tao's men
The hundreds of soldiers were not enough to mobilize, so there was nothing we could do.
King Wuyou nodded and asked a little strangely: "Then has the general ever gone to the forest to explore?"
General Tao replied: "What the prince is asking is that I have personally gone to the dense forest to explore, and I have also sent people to ambush there. But the dense forest is too big, and I can't ambush it."
King Wuyou thought for a moment and said, "Then did the general ask for help from the Yan and Qin soldiers who came to protect Dadu?"
Tao Rongtian gave a helpless smile and said: "Those Yan and Qin troops didn't listen to my request at all. Even if Huang Fuxiang went to find them, they refused to send troops."
After hearing this, King Wuyou smiled coldly and said: "Since these Yan and Qin troops are here to protect the capital, why are they unwilling to contribute? General Tao will not have to worry in the future. If there is a need for our Qi troops,
, just ask, we will definitely help."
Tao Rongtian quickly bowed and saluted, thanking King Wuyou.
After leaving the city defense office, Qi Lu asked strangely: "Brother Si, is there really something evil behind this Dadu case?"
King Wuyou smiled softly and said: "What kind of evil spirit is this? It is probably someone with ulterior motives who has found some skilled martial arts people to deliberately cause panic among the people and make the soldiers guarding the city focus on one thing and not the other.
They like to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
Qi Lu seemed to understand after hearing this, and asked: "Then the Yan army and the Qin army are unwilling to send troops, is it a conspiracy of the Yan or Qin states?"
King Wuyou thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, but I heard from General Tao that crimes happened frequently a while ago. Why is it so quiet these days when we come here?"
Qi Lu couldn't help laughing and said, "Did those thieves be afraid of our Qi army, so they ran away in fear?!"
King Wuyou looked at him, thought in a blink of an eye, and said: "What you said is a way, we can make a fuss about this!" Qi Lu asked hurriedly: "Tell me four, how do you want to make a fuss about it?"
?”
"You will know by then." King Wuyou smiled easily, and instead of telling Qi Lu his plan, he rode towards the military camp, with Qi Lu chasing after him.
The next day, word spread in the capital city that the evil man who had done harm was afraid of the might of the Qi army and was so frightened that he hid his traces. Thinking about it, the people of Dadu found out that it was indeed the man who killed the young woman after the Qi army was stationed in the city.
The murder never happened again. So the people went to the Qi camp one after another and sent some chicken, duck, fish, meat and various specialties to the soldiers of the Qi camp. King Wuyou ordered the soldiers to just accept it, but they must treat the people properly and not
Arrogant.
At the same time, in a house in Dadu, several men were discussing. The leader was a middle-aged man about forty years old. He had a gloomy face, looked around the young people around him, and said in a hoarse voice: "
Dear brothers, the master just returned to Northern Xinjiang, but the Qi army actually said it was their power and scared us away. Humph, although the master did not come back, are we still afraid of a mere thousands of Qi troops? Tonight
Let’s go to the city and catch a girl like her, which will just be enough to relieve our brothers’ boredom!”
Several people around him laughed sinisterly and said hello repeatedly. One of them said: "What the senior brother said is that our pack of wolves in Fire Wolf Valley are afraid of those soldiers, not to mention his Qi army, that's it."
Even if all four soldiers in the city are dispatched, we will not be afraid."
Another young man also said with an evil smile: "We have been out and about in the past few days. It's really boring to go to the brothel. Tonight, I will go to find someone's house with my senior brother and catch them."
I caught that pretty young lady and had a good time in the forest."
At night, several figures appeared on the house of a rice merchant. Some of them let loose, and some sneaked into the embroidery building of the female family members in the backyard. After a while, someone was carrying a quilt, and several people jumped out one after another, and quickly disappeared.
In the night.
It wasn't until a few figures disappeared that the guard dog in the courtyard began to bark. When the maids and women started crying, the whole courtyard turned on lights and searched frantically inside and outside the courtyard, and then sent people to the government office to report the case.
It was rare for Tao Rongtian to live in peace these days. He originally thought that the matter was over. He just waited to patrol slowly to see if the case could be solved. Unexpectedly, at midnight, he heard the sound of drumming outside the government office again. Tao Rongtian hurriedly led his men
In addition to asking the government officials about the situation, the general heard that there was another evildoer who had robbed the rice merchant's girl. He couldn't help but frown, and quickly gathered his troops to search around the city. At the same time, he led a group of soldiers to
Rushing to the north of the city, thinking of asking Qi Jun for help, he sent troops to search the dense forest outside the city.
King Wuyou was sleeping in the camp, but he heard a report from soldiers and guards outside the tent, Lu Zheng, saying that the city defense general wanted to see the prince. Lu Zheng was still outside thinking about whether to wake King Wuyou, but King Wuyou had already
He said in the room: "I'm awake. Please wait for General Tao in the commander's tent. I'll be there right away. You go quickly to gather the troops and we'll go search for the thief together later."
The soldiers took the order and went down. Lu Zheng waited for King Wuyou to change clothes and went to the commander's tent together. Tao Rongtian was already anxious inside. When he saw King Wuyou coming, he quickly confessed, and then said that there was another young lady from the family tonight.
He was taken away and the victim reported the matter.
King Wuyou nodded and said he understood. He had already ordered his troops to be ready. He immediately sent Lu Zheng to lead 500 Longxiang troops. Tao Rongtian rushed to the dense forest with him, searched carefully, rescued the young lady, and captured the bandits.
After receiving the order, Lu Zheng went out to gather his troops. He suddenly closed his business and thanked him. He quickly turned around and led the Qi army towards the dense forest.
King Wuyou was sitting in the commander's tent, waiting for the news to come back. When Qi Lu heard the mobilization of troops and horses outside the tent, he also got up to inquire. Knowing that it was King Wuyou who sent troops out of the camp, he hurried to the commander's tent and saw the commander in charge.
King Wuyou, who was in the tent, asked a little strangely: "Brother Si, when you send troops out late at night, is there any enemy situation?"
King Wuyou nodded lightly, called him to come to him, and said: "I asked people to spread the news in the city, saying that the evil bandits were afraid of the Qi army and did not dare to commit crimes. It was not to impress the people, but to
Inspire those gangsters to come forward. I guess if these gangsters are still in the city, they will definitely commit crimes again in the next few days, but I don't want to be impatient tonight."
Qi Lu said "Oh" and asked: "How does Brother Si know that those bandits are still in the city?"
King Wuyou smiled and said: "I don't know either. I just guessed that he would be in the city. If he is not in the city, then he has really left Dadu, and he was really scared away by our Qi army."
Qi Lu nodded, smiled, and said, "Brother Si, it's really a good arrangement. So tonight if our soldiers go to capture the bandit, will they be able to catch him? If not, will the bandit harm the young lady?"
."
King Wuyou shook his head and said: "The bandit who committed the crime can quietly take a person out of the courtyard and then go to the dense forest outside the city. Then he must be a person with high martial arts skills. Ordinary soldiers, he is
Can't hold them."
"Then why did you go out to take pictures of those soldiers?" Qi Lu asked curiously.
King Wuyou smiled coldly and said: "I have already arranged for you and me to go to the dense forest in the past few days. General Tao also told me the place where the murdered woman's body was. I have determined the way these bandits left the city.
It must be to the east of the city. There is a river to the east of the city, and there is only one bridge on the river. The people I arranged have been hiding on the bridge. They will follow them to the forest and wait for an opportunity to catch them. The soldiers will just go and clean up.
"
Qi Lu listened, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't help shouting after listening: "Brother Si, why don't you tell me, why don't you tell me such a clever strategy?"
King Wuyou smiled and said, "If you knew, would you be able to sleep these days?"
However, Qi Lu acted like a scoundrel, stepped forward and grabbed King Wuyou's hand, shook it and said, "Brother Si, please take me with you quickly. I'll also go see who the bandits are. I'll stay in the palace all day."
, I have never seen anyone go into battle to kill the enemy. Now that there is such a thing, just wait for me to go and see it, so that I can learn more and experience it."
King Wuyou was helpless by what he said. He nodded and called the guards to come in. He also ordered two hundred light cavalry. He and Qi Lu mounted their war horses and rode towards the dense forest with whips raised.
At this time, in the dense forest, Tao Rongtian and Lu Zheng had found the young lady from the rice merchant who had been robbed into the dense forest. Beside her were six men, all dressed in black and wearing black cloth masks. The young lady was so frightened that she fainted.
They passed by, and the men were knocked unconscious. The soldiers came forward, tied up the men, and called to wake up the young lady. The young lady was still in a daze. When she woke up, she saw soldiers all around her.
Bing, who was in the forest, couldn't help but scream. Tao Rongtian explained his identity and offered words of comfort. The young lady gradually understood, and then she cried loudly.
Everyone had no choice but to take the young lady and six masked men in black back, and met King Wuyou and others coming towards them.
