The prince said, "But it's strange. Banditry has always existed in Hulang Mountain, but only in recent years have the bandits suddenly become cruel and intensified."
"I looked through past records and found that in the beginning those bandits only robbed businesses and property, not hurting people or killing anyone."
"He even spends money to manage North Korean and Chinese officials very tactfully, and the relationship with North Korea and China is considered stable."
"But later, perhaps because their appetite was developed, the bandits not only robbed merchants, but also injured people, and even kidnapped caravans to extort money, becoming more and more bold."
"Later, about four or five years ago, the bandits were not satisfied with just robbing money, but started killing people for fun."
"First they killed the businessmen who were extorted but could not pay the ransom, then the poor people who were robbed, and then the officials who were passing by."
"The more they kill, the more ferocious the bandits become, and their killing methods become more cruel and vicious."
The prince thought of the victims who were brutally tortured and killed by bandits as recorded in the files, and a flash of intolerance and anger flashed in his eyes.
"When I saw those dossier records, I had a strange feeling in my heart, as if the people living in Hulang Mountain were not a group of bandits, but a group of murderous ghosts! They seemed to enjoy torturing people, and they wanted to kill all the innocent people in Northern Qin.
people!"
Zhan Beihan asked: "The DPRK has sent people to encircle and suppress Hulang Mountain before. Why did it fail?"
The banditry in Hulang Mountain is no longer a day or two.
The Northern Qin Dynasty also sent troops to encircle and suppress the people many times, but they never achieved any results.
Zhan Beihan didn't pay much attention to this matter before, so he didn't know the inside story.
The prince smiled bitterly and said: "The imperial court originally thought that they were nothing more than a group of mountain bandits. Although they were ferocious, they could not compare with a well-trained army, so they sent a military general to lead an army to encircle and suppress them."
"However, I never expected that the entire army was wiped out, and not even the generals who led the troops came back!"
Zhan Beihan's expression changed: "Why didn't I know about this?"
The prince looked at him without hesitation.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Beihan was confused.
The prince sighed softly: "This happened five years ago, when the prince of Nanyan and... Wei Shaorong were getting married. You were not in Northern Qin and went to the border of Nanyan alone. Did you forget
Yet?"
"..." Zhan Beihan was startled for a moment, as if he remembered something.
His expression suddenly turned cold and gloomy.
The prince sighed softly: "Brother, I don't know what happened during the two months when you went to Nanyan alone. I only know that when you came back, you were covered in bruises and your heart was almost pierced." The imperial physician of the palace
After guarding you for half a month, I finally saved your life."
"Although you have woken up from a coma, your condition is extremely bad. My father and I both want you to take a good rest in the palace for a while until your injuries are healed."
"My father specifically ordered that no one should tell you what happened in the court during that time. Of course you don't know."
Zhan Beihan's face was extremely cold and he said nothing.
"That's all, this is all in the past, and it's boring to talk about. You just know it and don't think too much about it." The prince reached out and patted his shoulder, "Let's continue talking about Hulang Mountain."
Zhan Beihan suddenly sneered: "Don't think too much? Are you afraid that I will think too much about the past or the people in the past?"
The prince frowned.
"Brother, don't worry." Zhan Beihan raised his thin lips coldly and said word by word, "Wei Shaorong is just an old person, and I never miss the past!" Hot 『』 This chapter has been completed!
