Jin Feng came to Hutoushan this time to take Qing Mulan away.
He already knew Qing Mulan very well. She had been suppressed for too long in the deep house compound in the past few years, and her emotions have not been vented yet, so she seemed a little rebellious and perverse, and a little impatient.
It's okay to let her fight the bandits, but if she is asked to engage in a protracted confrontation, Qing Mulan's patience will no longer be enough, and she is very likely to make mistakes.
If the bandits make another provocation, Jin Feng is worried that she will get mad and lead her men directly into the bandits' lair.
With the few men she has now, taking advantage of the heavy crossbows, trebuchets and the terrain, she can still guard the gate. But if she really wants to rush into the bandit's lair, she will be drowned by the bandits immediately, and I'm afraid there won't even be a few splashes of water.
Qing Mulan had indeed spent enough time in this wilderness. When she heard what Jin Feng said, she beamed with joy and immediately took Da Liu to hand over.
When the team left Hutoushan and started on the road again, Qing Mulan and her bodyguards were added to the team.
I slowly arrived at Jinchuan County House at noon. The clerk was packing his things and getting ready to go home.
Although the clerk didn't know Jin Feng, when he saw so many people coming out, he knew he couldn't afford to offend him, so he went through the formalities quickly.
He held the marriage document in front of Jin Feng with both hands: "Sir, your marriage document is ready."
"Sorry to trouble you, thank you."
Jin Feng said politely.
He was assigned to work in the most unattractive department, and he was also an unpopular person in the county government. When had a big shot ever been so polite to him?
He waved his hands in fear and said: "Yes, yes, I wish you two to grow old together and have a son soon!"
This is probably what Tang Xiaobei likes to hear most now. He was so happy that he took out a silver ingot from the small bag and threw it to the clerk.
"Thank you, uncle, for the reward, and thank you, madam, for the reward!"
The clerk bowed repeatedly in excitement.
Tang Xiaobei was very happy. There were five taels of silver ingots thrown to him, which was a very large fortune for him.
Jin Feng ruffled Tang Xiaobei's hair and handed over the marriage certificate.
Tang Xiaobei was well-behaved and cute, and knew how to please Jin Feng. He would often act coquettish and cute from time to time, which made Jin Feng increasingly fond of intimate gestures such as rubbing her hair or pinching her face.
Tang Xiaobei carefully took the marriage letter, his eyes filled with happiness and joy.
With this marriage certificate, she and Jin Feng became Dakang's legal couple.
From then on, I had a reputation and support.
She read every word on it carefully, and then reluctantly handed the marriage letter to Guan Xiaorou.
"Sister Xiaorou, here it is."
According to the rules of Dakang, the concubine's dental plaque, marriage certificate, etc. must be given to the eldest wife for safekeeping. If the eldest wife is not satisfied with the concubine, she can sell it directly.
"What do you want me to do with your marriage certificate?"
Guan Xiaorou smiled and returned the marriage certificate: "You can keep it for yourself."
"Thank you sister."
Tang Xiaobei took the marriage certificate back in surprise, carefully folded it and put it in his arms.
"Miss Xiaobei, congratulations!"
Qing Mulan smiled and said: "Sir, this is a happy event. Should we have a good meal to celebrate?"
After all, she was the eldest daughter of an official family. She almost vomited after eating a big pot of rice every day in the mountains for the past few days.
"No problem, I'll treat you to something delicious."
Jin Feng saw that several people were happy, and his mood improved. He remembered the jokes in the movies of his previous life, and waved his hand:
"I heard that Wei's Restaurant in the county is good. Let's go to Wei's Restaurant today and order whatever we want. I will pay for everyone's consumption today!"
"Thank you sir!"
All the guards laughed.
As Jinchuan natives, they had all heard of the luxurious reputation of Wei's Restaurant, but no one had dared to eat there before.
A group of people left the county government office happily, and a middle-aged man in official uniform walked towards them, followed by two fat men.
It was none other than County Lieutenant Zhao and two squires.
"Master Jin, I have admired you for a long time!"
County Lieutenant Zhao saluted Jin Feng with a smile on his face.
Jin Feng didn't like to put on airs at all. Although he didn't know the three county captains Zhao, they greeted them with smiles, so he gave him a slight scholarly gift: "Who are they?"
"I am Zhao Tingzhi, the county captain of this county, and these two are Mr. Zhu from Zhaojiagou and Mr. Peng from Qinshan Town."
County Lieutenant Zhao introduced himself and then introduced the two squires.
The attitude of the two squires was even more humble, and they bowed their waists and saluted Jin Feng with smiles on their faces.
But this time Jin Feng did not return the favor, and the smile on his face disappeared.
A cold look flashed in Qing Mulan's eyes, and her right hand subconsciously held the handle of the knife at her waist.
Strategically, we must despise the enemy, but tactically, we must absolutely respect the enemy.
Although he didn't take the gangs of bandits seriously, Jin Feng didn't dare to be careless about the intelligence work that needed to be done before taking action.
These three names were familiar to him and Qing Mulan.
Jin Feng probably guessed their purpose, but deliberately asked: "Does Lieutenant Zhao have anything to do with me?"
"The three of us have been fascinated by Sir Alex for a long time, but we have never had the opportunity to meet him. Today, we finally heard that Sir Alex was coming, so we prepared a few glasses of wine at the Wei Family Restaurant, hoping that Sir Alex would appreciate it."
County Lieutenant Zhao smiled and said: "There are also a few things I would like to ask you sir!"
Qing Mulan was a person who did not rub sand in her eyes. She was just about to scold and drive the three of them away when she saw Jin Feng nod.
"Okay, you guys can lead the way."
"Uh...yes! Yes!"
County Lieutenant Zhao did not expect Jin Feng to agree so readily, and quickly led the way with two squires.
"Sir, it's not like we can't afford food, why should we agree to it?"
Qing Mulan asked in confusion: "Who is still in the mood to eat after seeing the three of them?"
"Mu Lan, defeating the enemy is not just about killing each other to the death. It is better to plan your troops instead of fighting, to attack the city first, and to attack the heart first. To subjugate the enemy's troops without fighting is the best strategy!"
Jin Feng said: "The essence of war is actually to compete for interests. Wouldn't it be better if we could achieve this goal without killing people?
We are not murderers. Killing is only a last resort. If we can achieve our goal through negotiation or other methods, why kill in rivers of blood?
The total number of the three groups of bandits is quite large, but the wealthy men are withered. Whether these bandits are sent to open up wasteland or mine, even if they are just sent to the battlefield to be killed, it is better than us spending all our energy to kill them, right?"
"Sir, what you said makes sense, but Mu Lan thought simply."
Although Qing Mulan has a bad temper, she has always been brave enough to take responsibility and admit her mistakes.
Jin Feng liked this very much. If Qing Mulan was as arrogant and arrogant as other dudes, Jin Feng would have found a way to send her back.
"Surveying the city is the next best thing, attacking the heart is the best policy, and subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is the best policy... These words are so good, they are simply the essence of the art of war!"
Qing Mulan asked curiously: "Sir, I dare not say that I have read all the art of war in the world, but I have read all the art of war that I can find. Why have I never heard these sentences? Where do they come from?"
