Jiang Ningxuan frowned. The people here naturally did not miss the scene just now. They spoke in a low voice and could not hear clearly, but they could clearly see what happened.
"Why are people dead?" A confused voice sounded.
"Could it be a traitor in the nest?" He speculated maliciously.
The military general ordered: "It would be great if this is the case. A bunch of rabble will not make a difference."
Hearing this, the generals nodded in approval and looked at the group of bandits opposite, with contempt in their eyes.
The civil servants in the cabinet felt happy when they heard the military commander speaking so confidently.
Jiang Ningxuan looked at the changes in front of her and had to pour a basin of cold water on a few people to wake them up.
"These people are not powerful enough. In the past, if a few adults just went out and one person could take care of them, but you should not forget the current situation." Jiang Ningxuan said.
How many people are there on the emperor's side, and how many bandits are blocking the way? Not to mention that everyone is exhausted and in poor condition after so many things. Even if they can still fight again, one on one is no problem, then one on ten
What about a couple?
When the wheel battle begins, Bo can kill these people.
"Uh..." The person who just spoke out loudly and eloquently did not speak.
Jiang Ningxuan glanced at the Moon Guard beside her.
Moon Guard nodded.
A few people who work together in a tacit understanding do not communicate with each other through words. They understand each other's thoughts just by looking at each other.
On the opposite side, the bandits quickly reached a consensus after a short period of internal strife.
"Haha!" A familiar laughter sounded, and it only made people feel scared when they heard it: "Glory and wealth are right in front of us. Going forward, everyone will have a good life. You have all seen the fate of betrayers."
The bandit leaders looked at each other and then at the dead man on the ground, their eyes hesitant.
"How?" a questioning voice sounded, and the dagger in his hand was still stained with blood.
"I am a rough man, but we are loyal and will never betray our brothers," said one of the bandits.
"Follow you," said the second bandit.
The other bandit leaders looked at the two flattering people, and while secretly cursing them for their lack of ambition, they quickly followed them, not daring to raise any objections.
"Very good, it seems that everyone has no objections, that's good." The man who spoke with a smile held a dagger in his hand, with satisfaction in his eyes.
"Hey!" A shouting voice sounded, almost right next to his ears. Before the person even raised his head, the dagger in his hand had already been thrown out.
"Bang!" The dagger was knocked down, grazing his cheek and falling, leaving a scar on his face that was as deep as the bone.
"Too much nonsense!" A mocking voice sounded, coming from high above the head.
"Tick tock, tick tock!" The dagger moved so fast that until now, blood was flowing out from the scratched wound on his face, and the blood slid down his cheek.
"Well..." The injured one wanted to speak, but the bones on his face were exposed, which made everyone take a few steps back and look at him with horrified eyes.
Don't come here, it's scary.
"Do it!" said the voice from high in the sky.
"Jie!" the giant bird chirped, its feathers burning like flames covered the sky, and flew above everyone's heads, making the bandits feel a lot of pressure.
To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first.
Jiang Ningxuan unexpectedly seriously injured the bandit leader, shocking the bandits with one move, causing them to panic for a moment.
The time was short, but it was enough.
The figure of the Moon Guard was like a ghost, instantly appearing among the bandits, taking him by surprise and subduing his opponent within a few moves. With one palm blow, he was instantly knocked unconscious.
There was a panic among the bandits, and shouts came and went.
"Come on!" the general shouted.
The regular imperial troops rushed over immediately, taking advantage of the bandits' panic and killing them by surprise.
When the leader of the bandits came to his senses, he was shocked to find that they had lost the opportunity to take action. The leader was subdued, and the rest were a useless mob.
"Surrender without killing!" At Jiang Ningxuan's signal, someone raised his voice and shouted.
The bandits dropped their weapons.
"Your Majesty?" the official went to ask for instructions.
The emperor looked at those people with anger in his eyes.
The Prime Minister Zuo looked at the emperor and began to plead for the bandits: "Your Majesty, they became bandits because of the pressure of life. These people are guilty, but their crimes will not lead to death."
"Loving you means having a kind heart." The emperor heard this and said.
Prime Minister Zuo looked at the Emperor with sincere eyes, with a request in his eyes.
Jiang Ningxuan stood aside and suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, we are short of manpower now. We don't know what we will encounter on the way back. It's better to keep these people with us."
The mob is also a human being. How much fighting power they can exert depends on who is commanding them. With so many people coming to the door, they must be accepted. They are in urgent need of manpower now.
"What Miss Jiang said is true." Zuo Xiang agreed with Jiang Ningxuan's words.
The emperor thought for a moment and felt that what Jiang Ningxuan said made some sense: "Let them follow first, how to deal with it, we will talk about it later."
This is to give these bandits a chance to make meritorious deeds. As long as they protect the emperor and let the emperor have a safe journey, it is not a bad idea to pardon their capital crime.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise!" Left Prime Minister's voice was filled with gratitude.
Jiang Ningxuan took a few steps back, feeling relieved as well.
The ministers of the cabinet looked at each other. No matter what they thought, when they heard the emperor say this, they all praised the emperor for his sage and his great kindness.
The right minister's gentle and generous voice sounded, and he looked at the bandits with a smile: "Your Majesty is kind, you must bear it in your heart."
Everyone knelt down and worshiped, very grateful, looked at the adults in front of them with sincere eyes, and said words of thanks.
"Old fox!"
Someone among the ministers whispered, a step too late, and could only watch the right prime minister stealing the show with envy in his eyes.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Ningxuan stood aside and watched the discussion between several generals. She did not speak during the whole process. The generals treated her much better and would not be cold-faced or let her go away.
During the discussion, sometimes when they encountered something uncertain, they would ask Jiang Ningxuan for his opinion and discuss the solution.
In a short journey, many dangers and urgent situations made everyone quickly become familiar with each other. Each other's combat methods are integrating with each other, and the tacit understanding of each other is getting better and better.
…
Bieyuan, inside the hall.
He flew over and kicked the table in front of him. The solid wood table flew out and fell heavily to the ground.
The tea set on the table shattered all over the floor, and the porcelain fragments flew and scratched the people kneeling on the ground. However, those people did not dare to move and allowed themselves to be scratched by the fragments.
"Huh!" Breathing heavily, he walked back and forth several times. The anger in his heart was still high. He kicked a few things uncontrollably. In an instant, the exquisite hall was in a mess.
