Chapter 61 The princess is mighty and domineering!
Indeed, no one dared to say anything. Most of the soldiers only saw the prince holding a red cloak and getting on the horse. As for who was in the cloak, he was wrapped tightly and no one could see.
Qin Rushuang didn't realize until she was put on the horse that what Xie Xun said was true - he really planned to take him to suppress the bandits.
And his luggage had long been packed by the "traitor" Qingzhi and given to a guard beside the prince.
Xie Xun gave the order and the army broke out of camp and set off.
There were a total of 15,000 soldiers to suppress the bandits this time, which was considered a relatively large-scale operation. The main reason was that Emperor Qi was angry that banditry had occurred under his nose, and the Imperial City Army had not fought in actual combat for many years, so he also wanted to polish the soldiers.
No matter how angry Qin Rushuang was that Xie Xun didn't act according to common sense, now that she had broken camp and set off, she felt at ease and stopped struggling.
Mainly because her life has been really boring since she became pregnant.
She didn't take the banditry seriously this time and regarded it as just an outing.
Fifty miles away, whether it was far or near, by night, the army had reached a mountainside outside Qu County.
The accompanying soldiers did not know that the accompanying woman was actually the princess until they set up camp in the afternoon.
Qin Rushuang's waist was a little sore after being held by Xie Xun for riding for a whole day, so after setting up camp, she went out for a walk alone.
While walking around, I heard many soldiers talking about her.
The person speaking was a rough man, but judging by his clothes, he must be a lieutenant general.
"I didn't expect that the prince would bring a woman to suppress the bandits. Unfortunately, I thought that the prince..."
"Hey! Do you know that trouble comes from your mouth? The princess is the daughter of General Qin. I heard that her martial arts skills are extraordinary, so don't underestimate her!"
"So what? How powerful can a weak woman, I heard she is, be? Don't hold us back!"
"..."
Qin Rushuang listened with great interest for a while, but she was tired of hearing just those few sentences.
Yawning, she wandered back to Xie Xun's tent: "What are you going to eat today?"
Xie Xun turned around, holding a volume in his hand, which was a local travel diary of Qu County. It probably recorded some interesting historical facts about Qu County.
He put down the book in his hand and glanced at Qin Rushuang's waist: "Is it still sore?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's okay." Qin Rushuang straightened her back unconsciously. Her riding skills were no worse than Xie Xun's.
Xie Xun withdrew his gaze: "Have a big pot of rice with the soldiers, and you will become a good cook."
Qin Rushuang nodded, she was not picky.
But when it was time to eat, she looked at the meat in the bowl and frowned.
This meat is cured meat.
After she became pregnant, the doctor told her to eat less pickled products and more fresh food.
The way she frowned while holding the bowl, in the eyes of the lieutenant generals and several centurions who gathered to eat, made her look like a little girl who couldn't bear hardships and disliked the food in the military camp.
The tall lieutenant from before sneered again: "Let me tell you, how can this delicate princess endure such suffering?"
Hearing this, Qin Rushuang put down the bowl and said, "If you don't want to eat, ask a few people to get some game and give the soldiers some fresh food."
This time, before Xie Xun could speak, the deputy general spoke first: "Princess, I understand that there are only wild boars around here, but wild boars are difficult to catch, so the soldiers have to save their strength to suppress the bandits."
The implication is, what are you doing, don't delay everyone's business.
Qin Rushuang was not annoyed, and nodded: "Okay, these adults are the pillars of the country, and they really can't be easily troubled. How about this, the prince will lend me the cook and a few fire-headed soldiers, and I will hunt for heads and game to feed everyone."
"
"Are you kidding me, Princess? Didn't I tell you that any of the wild boars in this forest is stronger than me, Old Zhu? They are invulnerable because of their pigskin, and they have thorns on their necks. They can be caught by a few fire-headed soldiers?"
Qin Rushuang looked at the deputy general, and it turned out that his surname was Zhu...
Qin Rushuang did not answer his words anymore, but turned to ask Xie Xun, "Your Majesty, is this okay?"
Xie Xun thought for a while, and if he didn't agree, it would cement Qin Rushuang's reputation as a spoiled and picky person. It would be better to open their eyes to this group of people.
It was just a wild boar. He believed that it would not be able to defeat Qin Rushuang.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, let the cook and the fire-headed soldier come over."
News in the military camp spread quickly, and soon it spread that the princess was going to catch wild boars herself to improve the food for everyone.
Many people left their jobs and came out to watch the fun. Only the deputy general named Zhu looked disdainful and stayed in the barracks alone.
"Hey, you really don't want to go and take a look?"
"What are you looking at?" The deputy general waved his hand impatiently: "If she can really hunt a wild boar today, my Lao Zhu's name will be written backwards, okay?"
Everyone followed Qin Rushuang for a while. At the entrance of the forest, Qin Rushuang stopped: "Everyone, please go back. You can help carry the prey after half an hour."
Qin Rushuang took her whip and a few fire-headed soldiers and went deep into the forest.
She used to follow the veterans in her father's military camp and learned the skill of detecting traces. After a while, she actually found traces of wild boars.
Qin Rushuang followed the traces for a while, and carefully identified the wild boar's footprints and fresh feces, and quickly guessed where the wild boar was.
She dispersed the several fire-headed soldiers: "This place should be the wild boar's den. After you find the trace later, you will guard every corner. Let all the sows and piglets go, leaving only the strongest boars. Go to me."
Just drive here. Don’t worry, when the boar is in danger, he will definitely protect the piglet and escape first, and he will stay until the end.”
Several fire-headed soldiers looked at each other, and some did not dare to take on this task. If the princess was injured, they would not be able to bear this responsibility.
In the end, the cook nodded: "Just do as the princess says!"
Following Qin Rushuang's instructions, several people slowly gathered around a suspicious place, and sure enough they found traces of the wild boar!
The wild boar was very smart. When it found someone approaching, it immediately ran away. The sow protected the piglets and ran outside. The two boars raised the thorns on their necks and bared their teeth to confront the crowd.
"Here! Princess! What should I do if there are two boars here!"
Qin Rushuang slowly approached and pressed a mechanism on the whip with her thumb, making the already long whip grow several feet longer.
She flicked the long whip, and the crackling sound of the whip being struck in vain filled the air.
"Come on one and capture one, come on and capture a pair, then capture a pair!"
Several fire-headed soldiers looked at each other, nodded, and picked up the branches and stones they picked up to attack the wild boar.
The two wild boars were very smart. After being attacked, they looked around and found that only Qin Rushuang's side seemed to be easier to break through, so they rushed towards Qin Rushuang with all their strength.
The wild boar was very fast, and soon they rushed to Qin Rushuang together, and this was the moment she had been waiting for!
I saw Qin Rushuang suddenly staggered away, and behind him was a very thick tree!
She swung her long whip, and the whip wrapped around the neck of one of the wild boars with a "snap" sound, and she exerted force——
This time, he was not trying to hold the wild boar back, but was trying to push in the direction where the wild boar was charging wildly!
The wild boar was already running very fast, but with the "help" of Qin Rushuang's whip, it couldn't release its strength at all and was about to hit the tree!
It tried to change direction, but the whip around its neck didn't agree!
Qin Rushuang only exerted a little force, and the direction of the wild boar's running was pulled back again, and finally it hit the trunk of a tree!
There was a loud "bang", and the fire-headed soldiers felt that the ground beneath their feet was shaking a few times. The tree hit by the wild boar made a heart-wrenching sound, and a large number of dead branches and leaves crashed down.
Lose.
Just when everyone was shocked, Qin Rushuang stepped back with all her strength, wrapping one hand around the tree trunk and wielding a whip with the other. The end of the whip could barely wrap around the neck of another wild boar.
She used her strength, and the whip-wielding hand suddenly retracted. The wild boar slipped under its feet and was pulled by the whip, sliding around the trunk. Finally, with another "bang", it hit the original one.
The wild boar that fell to the ground also fell.
Qin Rushuang then retracted her whip, used her remaining energy to circle around the tree, and slowly stopped.
In the eyes of several fire-headed soldiers, the scene showed the princess taming two wild boars with two whips. At this moment, her red clothes were flying like a fairy.
Especially when there are two ferocious-looking beasts around her, she looks even more impeccable.
Of course, some people don't think Qin Rushuang is so fairy-like, they just think she is really powerful, even more powerful than the prince.
So, a fire-headed soldier of seventeen or eighteen years old swallowed his saliva and shouted: "The princess is mighty and domineering!"
