If you care about it, you will reorganize your troops into the mountains to suppress bandits
Aunt Rong had never seen me use force. After returning to the carriage, she took me and checked it carefully. She found that there was no injury anywhere, and then she quickly ordered the groom to drive the carriage and continue on the road.
Due to the delay on the way, the drill of the Guards had already ended when we returned home. Ruan Qing rushed to my room and accused Chen Ke of his crimes with tears and snot in his eyes. There were several bruises on his face and body.
He was taught a miserable lesson, so I patted his head and comforted him: "Although Chen Ke is a little harsh, it is for your own good. Although we are in the capital, we are not as ready to go to the battlefield as we were at the border, but we
We must always be prepared for danger in times of peace. The royal family's kindness has always been weak, so we cannot take it lightly."
Seeing Chen Ke appear at the door of the room, I waved to him and interceded for Ruan Qing: "Ruan Qing did not practice martial arts since he was a child and became a monk halfway. He can't compare with you. He can just turn a blind eye and be professional.
If you slap him in the face, are you jealous that he is prettier than you?"
Chen Ke snorted: "You're so mean-looking. If I look like that, I'll wipe my nose with a knife and be reincarnated."
Poof, a mouthful of tea spurted out. Chen Ke had a paralyzed face all year round. It was okay not to speak, but when he spoke, it made people feel chilly. It was much more classic than the bad jokes I saw online in my previous life.
Following Aunt Rong's instructions, the dining room had a rich menu. Several jars of wine were opened. Everyone, master and servant, sat down at a full table, laughing and joking. However, only halfway through, Chun Zhu came in a hurry.
I rushed in and said that it was Nanny Qin from the Beijing Houfu next door who wanted to see me. I was eating happily and was too lazy to move, so I casually said: "Just invite her in."
Nanny Qin had met her before. She was the dowry brought by Murong Qingfeng's mother from Beijinghou Mansion from her natal family. She also served as Murong Qingfeng's wet nurse, so her status in Beijinghou Mansion was very unusual. Did Chunzhu go out?
After a while, Nanny Qin wandered in with three unsteady steps, followed by a row of four girls.
After entering, he looked around the room. Seeing how casual we were, his eyes were filled with disdain. He leaned over slightly and saluted, and said nonchalantly: "Today, my wife went to Ci'an Temple to offer incense, and there were more than 100 people there.
Bandits, alive and dead, dared to come up and rob the road. Fortunately, the princess came to help and was safe. Madam wanted to come over in person to say thank you, but the young lady was frightened and developed a high fever when she came back. She couldn't leave, so she sent me
come over."
After speaking and waving, the four maids put the brocade boxes in their hands on the small table aside. Nanny Qin said again: "Madam's little thought, I hope the princess will not dislike it."
I put my chopsticks on the edge of the bowl, quickly chewed the meatballs in my mouth and swallowed them. I smiled and said, "It's just a small effort, madam, you're so polite. It's the end of the year, and things are not peaceful in Beijing. Next time madam goes out,
You need to bring more guards."
"Yes, the princess is absolutely right." Nanny Qin nodded, and then cursed through gritted teeth: "These ignorant people, if they want to make some money for the New Year, just rob those powerless merchants.
After asking about the identity of Beijing Houfu, even the young lady and his wife dared to be robbed. After hearing the news, the young master immediately led people up the mountain to suppress the bandits."
"What?" I was startled when I heard it. When I thought about it, I suddenly became angry: "Those bandits dare to rob in the suburbs of Beijing. Naturally they have the confidence to rely on them. If they can be wiped out so easily, how can the imperial court let them do so?
How long? He went into the mountains rashly with just a few servants, he was so confused."
Qian Hu nodded in agreement: "Jiumen Admiral sent troops to suppress the bandits several times, but they were beaten to a pulp by the other party. Their mountain stronghold was built on the top of Xiaotang Mountain, and the tributary of the Yue River flows under the mountain. It can be said that one man is responsible for thousands of people.
Don't open it, the prince's actions will bring more disaster than good."
"This, this, what should I do?" Nanny Qin's face suddenly turned pale with fright, her legs softened and she fell backwards. Fortunately, the maid she was accompanying was smarter and quickly reached out to support her.
I stood up in a hurry and shouted: "Gather!" The Guards immediately stood up, moving neatly and quickly, looking like they were ready to set off at any time.
"What are you going to do?" Qian Hu saw this and grabbed my sleeve.
No one in the mansion knew about my thoughts about Murong Qingfeng, and I didn't mention it to Qian Hu when we were at the border. So maybe they didn't quite understand my behavior. Anyway, I had confessed my feelings to him in Beijing Hou Mansion.
There is no need to be shy with others, I shook my lips and sighed: "The princess and the prince have been sweethearts since childhood, and their relationship is extraordinary. After returning to Beijing this time, when we reunited, I realized that I have been deeply in love with him for a long time. Now,
When he is in trouble, I naturally cannot stand by and watch."
As soon as the words came out, there was silence in the room. Even Aunt Rong was stunned. After a while, Chen Ke calmly spoke: "It is natural and reasonable for the princess to want to save her future husband, but our personal guard only has a dozen people. Even if we reach out,
No matter how good you are, it is difficult to defeat a group of bandits. If the princess still insists on going her own way, her subordinates will not dissuade her."
Chen Ke's meaning is very obvious. What you mean is that if I insist on using your name in exchange for Murong Qingfeng's, we will not resist. Anyway, you are our leader. If you can watch us die without feeling distressed, then we will not.
I had nothing to say. I held my breath in my chest and almost took a breath. This advice was more useful than persuasion.
After all, they are brothers who have been with me for more than ten years and have been born and died together for many years. Naturally, I can't watch them die, but I can't ignore Murong Qingfeng. I walked around the room several times with my hands behind my back, and then
He was slapped on the forehead. He was so concerned that he was so confused that he even forgot that there was Qian Hu holding a tiger talisman.
When he returned to Beijing this time, Qian Hu brought 20,000 Dingbei troops and horses. According to the rules, these troops could not enter Beijing, so they stationed themselves near the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. If one or two thousand troops were transferred to me, let alone a copycat, it would be
I can kill ten or eight of them. I know the power of the Dingbei Army very well. It is not comparable to the bunch of wimps under the Nine Admirals. One of them can stand up to three or five without any problem.
When the calculation was clear in my mind, everyone in the room had recovered from the shock. Before I could speak, Qian Hu took the initiative and said: "After I returned to Beijing, apart from attending court meetings every day, I have been very leisurely.
I will resign and retire in a month or two, and before that I should contribute some strength to the court."
He called one of his subordinates over and ordered: "Quickly go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and ask Lu Zhanyun to gather five thousand elite soldiers. They will gather outside the gate of the north city in an hour. I will personally enter the camp."
Suppressing bandits in barren mountains."
I glanced at Qian Hu gratefully and waved to Chunzhu: "Go back to your room and change my clothes. I am going to go with Governor Qian."
