Chapter 336: Tit for tat
6 min read1,517 words
Six miles outside Baisha County.
A 500-man troop has already camped, the guard posts are scattered two miles
apart, and a patrol team is secretly monitoring the situation near the
official road.
"My letter is so clear, they shouldn't be defenseless, right?"
Ning Wanjun squatted by the fire, rubbing her slightly whitish hands.
Although it was freezing cold, her eyes were shining. Such days seemed to have
brought her back to the frontier period. Compared to lying in a mountain villa
and reading documents, she should be leading the battle.
"If they are not stupid, they will definitely send someone to the north gate
to check the situation." Qiuyue is also in a uniform at the moment, with a
long bow and an air rifle on her back. "But is it really good for your
Highness? Just put yourself before the war. All of his main attack directions
are revealed to the opponent..."
"Otherwise? Taking advantage of the other side's defense, rushing into the
county in one fell swoop, what kind of training effect can it have." Ning
Wanjun disdainfully said, "If it is a field encounter, they are not even an
opponent at all, and only rely on the city wall. With weapons, a battle is
possible."
"His Royal Highness." A guard raised the curtain outside the camp, and the
cold wind made the fire sway suddenly. "All the people in the city have
evacuated, only five, with one civilian woman. Do you want to see them?"
"Let them wait by the campfire, and I will pass."
"Yes."
Ning Wanjun stood up and put on a thick linen cloak, Qiuyue tied her neckband.
Then the princess walked out of the main tent and came to the center of the
camp welcoming the small snow.
Seeing Ning Wanjun herself, all five people in the bureau were shocked.
They never expected that the leader who was about to launch an action against
Baisha County turned out to be Princess Guangping!
"Meet her Royal Highness!"
The five people all knelt down on one knee.
Hearing what they call them, the women were stunned for a while, and then fell
to the ground helplessly, "The grass, the grass people have seen the
princess..."
"Get up." Ning Wanjun waved her hand, indicating that there is no need to be
polite, "Is the notice I requested sent to the county magistrate?"
"Return to Your Highness, yes!" The leader Tang Luming said excitedly, "The
content of the letter is exactly as you requested!" To be honest, he also felt
that the content of the letter was too trifling at first, not only
deliberately angering Zhixian in terms of words, There is also the suspicion
of throwing grass and scaring snakes. But since it was meant by the princess,
it was completely fine.
She is of royal blood, so what if she pointed at the magistrate's nose and
cursed?
"His Royal Highness is, is she here to avenge the grassroots?" The woman
stammered, her nervous but expectant expression eloquently.
"Yes." Ning Wanjun nodded slightly, "Don't worry, if you find out that it is
really wrong, none of the murderers will be able to escape."
The lady of the Pan family opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something
of gratitude, but in the end a thousand words turned into rolling tears,
choked and dripped into the snow.
When she came to Jinxia's group of outsiders, she also had suspicions. After
all, as the saying goes, strong dragons don't crush ground snakes. If it were
not desperate, she would not choose to be desperate.
At the moment when the princess responded, the pan family's worries finally
disappeared.
The tears at this moment are both sorrow and relief.
The princess noticed that not all of the five people in the bureau were full
of joy. At least two of them showed a slightly awkward smile, as if they were
pretending to be excited.
She smiled silently, not taking this discovery to heart.
The investigation after the incident will be handled by a dedicated person.
She only needs to focus on the actual combat exercise in front of her.
After all, she had spent a lot of talk to persuade Xia Fan for this
opportunity.
Now it was the guy's turn to sit in the villa and review the documents.
...
"What? You said they are gone?" Qian Zhixian asked loudly.
"That's true." The servant hurriedly lowered his head. "The young man went to
the place where the bureau was listed, and he tore through the window paper
and took a peek. There is no one in the house!"
"Do you know when those guys left?"
"This... the little one asked the neighbors, but in the wind and snow, no one
noticed their movements. I only know that the door of this shop has not been
opened since the morning."
"Okay, you can go out." Qian Zhixian looked at each other after waving his
hand to make the servant retreat. The hot pot is still simmering, but now no
one is going to stretch out the chopsticks. "Everyone—what do you think?"
"It's quite fast to slip away. The credibility of the arrest of the troops...
is too sensational." Master Sun said with a solemn expression, "We all know
that the princess has private soldiers. When Jinxia City was attacked by
pirates, It was the private soldiers that supported the garrison's arrival.
The problem is...Use the private soldiers to deal with a county chief? Those
who dare to say this must be crazy."
Pirates are not the same thing as the prefect.
If anyone dared to do this, stabbing Gyeonggi would be a crime of concealing
rebelliousness and condemning the nine clans!
Even if the princess cannot be blamed by the family, it is impossible for her
to escape the disaster.
"Could someone deliberately frame Princess Guangping?" The main book could
only guess in a bold direction, "Or is there a collusion between the gangsters
and the branch office to pretend to be Jinxia?"
"Impossible! If this is the case, I will definitely get the news in advance."
Fei Zhuang shook his head, "Well, let's make a two-handed plan, while
implementing the content of the letter, while preparing the people below. If
this is so-called The arresting troops of China really want to come to Baisha
City, and they are bound to leave their footprints on the road."
"I will arrange for someone to investigate immediately." Qian Zhixian nodded
in agreement, "No matter who takes the lead in this matter, the righteousness
is on my side. In any case, I will never let them step into the county seat!"
"What if it is from Jinxia City?" the master book asked cautiously.
"Then they are no different from the rebels!" The county magistrate slammed
the table down, "Master Zhang, how many people can we gather by tomorrow?"
The master book stretched out his finger and quickly counted, "The government
has a team of 100 people, plus the government officials and temporary
recruitment of labor, it can almost make up to three hundred."
"How about the two?" He looked at Fei Zhuang and Tang Yingzhi.
Tang Yingzhi raised two fingers, "You also know the situation of the Tang
family. These people were selected by me. Their loyalty is guaranteed, but the
weapons in hand are not good, and armor is even rarer..."
"I got it from the warehouse." The magistrate said without hesitation. Anyway,
after borrowing it, it can be recovered. As for the loss caused by the
inversion~www.mtlnovel.com~, he can completely eliminate it by making an
account.
"I have five hundred people." Fei Zhuang said in a deep voice. This happened
because of him. If he doesn't put more effort, I'm afraid it will cause gaps.
What's more, he is in charge of the Baisha Mine, and he usually needs a large
number of manpower to supervise the labor, and there are not a few gangsters
who raise privately. It can be said that he alone has the final say in the
underground order of Baisha City.
At this point, Fei Zhuang paused, and extended two more fingers.
"In addition, I happen to hire two emotional people in my family. They are all
experienced people from the rivers and lakes. They are suitable for this kind
of scene."
"Oh? That's great." Qian Zhixian couldn't help but be certain when he heard
this. More than a thousand people could be gathered, and the agitated people
were in the formation. With the help of city walls and crossbows, this force
was enough to repel twice as much. Own thieves, or tens of thousands of
refugees.
Although Jinxia City is large, the arrest team is, to put it bluntly, private
soldiers, not on par with the Shenzhou Garrison.
It is impossible for the other party to suddenly move out a few siege
equipment in the wind and snow, right?
In the evening, the investigators sent by Qianzhi County finally brought back
reliable information-there were indeed signs of large numbers of people and
horses in the northern suburbs of Baisha County!
