Lu Fang did not lead the Chaling Army to suppress the bandits. Instead, he led Han Feihong and Lao Xiao to leave the county government office early in the morning. They left the county seat and headed west.
There is Qiaokou Town more than fifty miles west of Youxian County.
Qiaokou Town is not big, and the total number of people in the town and nearby villages is only a few thousand.
But there is also a bandit village entrenched here.
Tadong Mountain.
Tadong Mountain is only less than fifteen miles away from Qiaokou Town. The leader of the bandit village is nicknamed "Grounding Monkey". According to the information obtained from the bandits in Dahuang Mountain, Gunding Monkey is from Qiaokou Town.
It is said that this guy met a stranger when he was young and learned how to use a rolling knife.
This is the sword technique used in the Dayu army. One hand holds a shield and the other holds a sword. Those who are good at using it will have great lethality on the battlefield.
I didn't expect this guy to learn such sword skills, but he failed.
His cultivation level is estimated to be above the eighth level.
He's not on the stage, but he has more than a hundred people under his command.
Although they were considered one of the weakest among the fourteen bands of bandits, Lu Fang was not willing to lead the Chaling Army to eliminate them easily.
Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger!
Over the past few days, he has also developed some feelings for the soldiers of the Chaling Army.
On the road, the three of them walked a little faster and talked while walking.
Of course, it was Lu Fang and Han Feihong who were talking, and Lao Xiao was just listening.
"Master Lu, seriously, how confident are you that you can transfer me away from the Chaling Army?"
Han Feihong already knew that Lu Liang had written a merit report to the government. The person who sent the letter was his brother from the Chaling Army.
"Do your best."
Lu Fang smiled softly, "Old Han, are you so afraid of Yang Mao? Logically speaking, as long as the bandits are suppressed, even if the Chaling Army cannot be transferred away, given your merits, he will not dare to do anything to you, right?"
Han Feihong shook his head, "He is my boss, I can't say much. But if I can't be transferred from the Chaling Army, the result will definitely be tragic. Maybe it's a luxury to hope that I can leave the military camp unharmed."
Lu Fang's eyebrows raised, "If you put it like that, I understand. Judging from Yang Chengyi's domineering temperament, Yang Mao, the father, will definitely not be any better."
"Actually, I kind of regret it."
Han Feihong smiled bitterly, "Even if I can transfer myself away from the Chaling Army, I'm afraid those brothers under me will be implicated by me. You are the only half-savior of mine, Mr. Lu. I really can't bear to stand by and watch."
"Thank you very much."
Lu Fang raised his hands to Han Feihong and said, "I always believe that if you do evil, you will be punished. Old Han, you are a real person, but honestly speaking, how many ridiculous things has Yang Chengyi done in these years? You have never thought about it.
Is he being punished as he deserves?"
Han Feihong's wry smile even worsened, "Yang Mao treats me well after all..."
Lu Fang shook his head, "It's good to repay a favor, but it's two different things than helping an enemy to do harm. I think you're harming yourself. Besides, do you really feel that way when you see Yang Chengyi bullying the weak?"
Han Feihong was silent.
"well……"
After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said, "Let's talk about it later..."
…
At the foot of Tadong Mountain.
A stream less than two feet wide winds along the foot of the mountain.
Han Feihong held a hand-drawn map in his hand.
Of course it's not precise.
"That's it."
But we can still distinguish Tadong Mountain.
On the west peak of Tadong Mountain, there is the Black Tiger Temple. The temple is not eye-catching now, and there are no accomplished monks. But it was very famous in the past. It is said that the founder of the temple subdued a black tiger in this mountain.
It is a spiritual beast that guards the temple.
The name of Tadong Mountain also comes from the fame of Black Tiger Temple.
There is also Tabei Mountain.
However, no one has ever seen the black tiger spirit beast.
As time goes by, the incense of Black Tiger Temple gradually fades away, and no one cares about it.
But no one is changing the names of these places anymore.
Lu Fang didn't look at the map at all. He looked up at Tadong Mountain, which was the tallest among the mountains, and said, "Let's go to the nearby villages and inquire about it first!"
Fortunately, he brought Han Feihong and Lao Xiao here, otherwise, with his blindness, he wouldn't recognize them even if he walked to the foot of Tadong Mountain.
"OK."
Han Feihong nodded, raised his head and looked around.
On the other side of the creek, there is a thatched house looming at the foot of the mountain.
At that moment, the three of them walked towards the village.
…
Tanzhou government office.
Tanzhou is the capital of Jingnan County. Although there are other government offices such as the Jiedu Envoy Office in the city, the Tanzhou Office is still quite lively.
There were people coming in and out all the time.
Such a scene cannot be seen in the Ningyuan County Government Office, let alone the Youxian County Government Office.
"Hush!"
A knight reined in his horse in front of the government office. He turned over and dismounted in a graceful manner. He ran up the steps and said: "Youxian military situation! Report to the governor!"
Then he took out Lu Liang's dental plaque.
"Military information?"
The few soldiers guarding the gate of the government office were stunned.
Although Dayu is still not stable today, the situation in Jingnan County is very good, and there are no rebels causing chaos. It is not a trivial matter when it comes to the military region.
"I'll go in and report it right away."
The leading soldier nodded to the Chaling soldier and walked inside.
From the action of the Chaling Army soldier dismounting just now, he could already roughly tell his origin.
Soon, he ran out of the government office again and said: "The governor wants you to come in."
"Thank you very much."
The Chaling sergeant who delivered the letter thanked him and hurried inside after the soldier.
moment.
Jiang Shi saw Lu Liang's paperwork in the room.
After reading it word by word, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to the Chaling sergeant: "You can rush back to Youxian first and tell Magistrate Lu that I have read his letter. All the minor officials in Youxian are by
He will deal with it. I will send people to You County as soon as possible to take over the wealthy gentry in You County. Bandits are rampant in You County, and I am very concerned about it. I hope that Magistrate Lu can overcome all difficulties and wipe out the bandits as quickly as possible. By then, I will
I will personally go to You County to celebrate for him. In addition, please ask Magistrate Lu to record the merits of your Chaling Army officers in detail. When the bandit suppression is over, I will go and claim the merits for you!"
"yes!"
The Chaling sergeant showed some excitement on his face and accepted the order.
Coming to Tanzhou to deliver a message was the most exciting thing he had ever heard.
Although the Chaling Army was not under the jurisdiction of Tanzhou Prefecture, it was still useful for Jiang Shi, as the governor of Tanzhou, to say a few words.
In any case, Jiang Shi is a high-ranking figure in the officialdom of Jingnan County.
After he left, Jiang Shi was in a daze in the room.
Then, he suddenly shouted: "Go and invite the observation envoy."
The Tanzhou observation envoy was his own son Jiang Hancheng.
After a while, Jiang Shi and Jiang Hancheng left the Tanzhou government office one after another.
Jiang Shi's sedan chair went to the Jiedushi Mansion in Jingnan County.
Jiang Hancheng walked to Prince Rong's Mansion.
Now, many people are secretly concerned about the situation of brothers Lu Liang and Lu Fang suppressing bandits in You County.
Jiang Shi and Jiang Hancheng also knew very well that whether Lu Liang could leap over the dragon's gate depended on his performance in You County.
Regardless of the outcome, they didn't mind giving Lu Liang a little favor at this time. Because Liang Siqi and Liang Dong's concern for the two brothers was beyond their expectations.
