362, three years

At the foot of the mountain where the bandits were entrenched by bandits in Tianqi, Chu Ling stood casually on the hillside in a red dress and looked forward. Not far from her, there was a newly placed camp. The soldiers in the camp came and went in an orderly manner. Everyone was tall and agile in their movements, and they were well-trained soldiers at first glance.

"Princess." Several people walked over from behind. Chu Ling turned around and looked at the people coming, but it was Li Dan, Huang Jingxuan, Zhao Jilin and Feng Sibei, as well as Shangguan Yunru, the second son of the Shangguan family.

"How is it?" Chu Ling looked at the three of them and raised his eyebrows. Three years have passed since the wedding of Princess Shenyou. Emperor Yongjia insisted that he refused to establish a royal heir first, but he also let go of the secret order that Princess Shenyou educated the eldest grandson of the Boning Princess. Although he did not understand the meaning of the emperor's heir, everyone understood the emperor's concessions. Because of Emperor Yongjia's insistence, the court officials had fewer opinions on the identity of Changsheng. They thought it would be good that the emperor would accept his fate. If the candidate was not suitable, they might have to make trouble. The reason why Princess Shenyou educated everyone could understand it, perhaps because of the consideration of his daughter. After all, once Emperor Yongjia was gone, no matter who ascended the throne and Princess Shenyou would not have a deep blood relationship.

In the past three years, the civil servants in the court were still talking and the generals were still idling most of the time. However, something changed vaguely. This change may not be very eye-catching on the surface, but many people in secret felt it clearly. Chu Ling naturally had not been idle for the past three years, and often traveled between Tianqi and Northern Jin. Three years ago, Tuoba Liang sent troops to Cangyun City and returned in disarray. The successive failures made the soldiers of the Clan quiet for a while, and the already chaotic north entered an extremely short and relatively peaceful stage.

But everyone knows that peace cannot be maintained forever. Tuoba Liang and the former emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty had completely different personalities and had different attitudes towards the Apocalypse. In the past two years, the Northern Jin courts became increasingly strict with the remnants of the Apocalypse. Although they did not burn, kill, rob and abuse like they had just entered the Central Plains, if the people had filled their stomachs all year round, no one would feel better. Various small riots in the north often occurred.

Li Dan bowed and said, "Go back to the princess, I have already found out. The strongholds of the thieves are in this mountain, and there are two other strongholds, and we have found them."

Chu Ling nodded with satisfaction and said, "This time I am only responsible for watching the battle. You will decide everything here. Just do it according to your ideas."

"Yes, princess." The five people immediately bowed and said in unison.

Three years have passed, Chu Ling, who was once known as the No. 1 beauty in Pingjing, has become more and more beautiful, but now few people dare to talk about her appearance. Generally, when it comes to Princess Shenyou, they are full of praise. Even if there are occasional criticisms, they can't make any big fuss. In the past three years, the Shenyou Army under Princess Shenyou has repeatedly wiped out bandits that many imperial guards thought were difficult, and even won consecutive victories in exchanges with the imperial guards. How can it not be surprising? Not to mention, the generals of the Shenyou Army, including Xiao Shi, who commanded the troops, are all young talents, and the youngest Li Dan is only in his early twenties.

After these three years of hard work in the army, most of the playboys who were fooled into the Shenyou Army have made great progress. Not to mention young people like Feng Sibei, who were born in generals, even Shangguan Yunru, who was forced to arrest him in the army, can now command hundreds of people alone.

Chu Ling said: "This time the opponent has been rampant in southern Hunan for more than ten years. It is very powerful and has a deep root. Don't let this palace down."

Huang Jingxuan's eyes turned and couldn't help asking, "Princess, if we take down these bandits, would you take us to the north to fight against the people of the Clan?"

Chu Ling looked at him in surprise and said, "What are you thinking? But can I fight the people of the Clan just by saying that I can fight?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Jingxuan suddenly became a little depressed, "Ah? Not OK yet? Then when will it be possible?"

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are not afraid of death, there will always be a time for you to fight."

Huang Jingxuan said proudly, "Princess, don't look down on us. Whoever is afraid of death is... Cough cough, in short, I'm not afraid!"

Although the others didn't finish speaking, they also had a hint of enthusiasm on their faces. Chu Ling nodded and said, "I understand. Now I'll deal with the enemies in front of you first."

"Yes, princess!"

After the five of them turned around and left, Chu Ling sighed and shook her head.

"Princess." Not long after the five people left, a sound of horse hooves came from not far away. A slender figure came down from the horse and came to Chu Ling. "I have seen the princess." Chu Ling nodded and asked, "Look at your appearance, it seems that it is not going well?" The woman stood up. It was Jin Xue. Jin Xue's face looked a little ugly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I am not doing things well, please punish the princess." Chu Ling waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about it first, what's going on?"

Jin Xue said angrily: "My subordinates went to Hengzhou camp with the princess seal. Rong Qun, the commander of Hengzhou, said that he had not received the documents from the Privy Council and would not send troops!"

Chu Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, "Didn't you receive the documents from the Privy Council?" She remembered that when they left Beijing, they brought the documents from the Privy Council.

Jin Xue said: "Rong Qun questioned that our documents were false, and said that we had to verify them clearly before we could respect the order. He also said... Princess, you led your troops into Hengzhou without authorization, which is unreasonable. You should write to the court to report that the princess would be abusing her power without authorization!" Chu Ling was a little surprised, touched her chin and smiled, "It seems that she has encountered a tough problem. Is this Rong Qun...what is the way to come from? Is it because Xiong Xin and Leopard are too brave to eat too much?"

Jin Xue said: "Miss Yu and Bai Er stayed in Hengzhou, and their subordinates rushed over to report the princess's incident. We found some news. This Rong Qun does have some background, but it is not very powerful. But... I heard that he had some friendship with the bandits on the mountain. He is afraid that he is deliberately delaying time now..." Chu Ling chuckled, "Does he think delaying time is not a serious crime? If he delays military affairs, he will even say that Huaer comes to the palace and takes his life."

Jin Xue said: "I'm afraid this Rongqun doesn't know the princess' temper. He only stays tall and far away on the day. We are so easy to bully."

Chu Ling thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, since Hengzhou is unwilling to send troops, then let's just go first. Look at the results of Li Dan and the others. The number of troops brought out this time may not be necessary for Hengzhou troops."

Jin Xue was a little worried, "Princess, although we have a lot of people, this place is so big after all, I'm afraid it will inevitably be a fish that misses the net."

Chu Ling said: "If Rong Qun does not work hard, wouldn't it be even more frustrating? When I take the village first, I will go to Rong Qun to settle the score. If you let someone watch secretly, it's okay for the little fish and shrimp to run away, and none of the big fish can run away."

"Yes, princess." Jin Xue bowed and smiled, "Subordinate to obey the order."

Li Dan and others broke through the village at dawn the next day. The bandits in this village can indeed be called bandits. If ordinary soldiers of the imperial guards met them, they would probably suffer losses. But three years later, the Shenyou Army has long been no longer the Shenyou Army of the year. Although there has not been a formal Shangguan battlefield, they have really done very little work in suppressing bandits in the past three years. Within a radius of hundreds of miles near Pingjing, the bandits were almost extinct. The Shenyou Army has also expanded from the 3,000 people to more than 10,000. This is still the court's approval of the imperial court. As for whether there are still some privately, they naturally have no questions.

Li Dan stood in a corner of the village and looked at the melee in front of him. Although he had a sword around his waist, he had no intention of pulling it out. Not far away, Huang Jingxuan and Zhao Jilin were fighting around a man who looked like a leader. Feng Sibei picked the most powerful one alone. Even Shangguan Yunru was fighting in the chaos with weapons, which made Li Xiaozi look particularly bullied.

A female bandit took a quick look and saw that Li Dan was wearing different clothes from other soldiers. With a sound of silence, she rushed towards him and wanted to take him as a hostage. But before she could get closer, she saw the gentle boy quickly pulling out his sword and slashing at her without hesitation. The female bandit fell to the ground less than two steps away from Li Dan.

"Little sister!" The bandit who was besieged by Huang Jingxuan and the others shouted sternly. Huang Jingxuan took the time to look at him and said, "I really don't have eyes. Who can I mess with that boy Li Dan?" The boy was accustomed to pretending to be a pig and eating tigers. Li Dan's skills are probably the weakest among the five of them, and they are not as good as Shangguan Yunru, who is a little older. So he practiced a straightforward and neat killing technique, which is especially effective for those who are not prepared for him. I don't know how many people fell in his hands before.

Under the siege of the crowd, the bandits were defeated as if they were falling. When the sky was getting light, all the bandits surrendered. When counting the number of people, Li Dan's face looked a little unfair, "The big fish is gone!" The big village leader of the village was not among these people.

Huang Jingxuan's young face was a little distorted, "Look for me! I don't believe he can grow wings!"

Feng Sibei frowned and said, "I'll go find it."

"I'll go too!" Shangguan Yunru and Taoism.

Zhao Jilin nodded, "Okay, let's do the aftermath."

On a small road in the back mountain of the mountain village, a tall and tall man with a somewhat sinister and vicious look on his face was running forward quickly. The morning sun could not let the murderous aura and viciousness fade away at all. He looked back and saw no one coming. When he escaped, he would make a comeback in the future and he would definitely avenge his today!

Suddenly, he stopped.

At the end of the path, there were two people, both of whom were slender and graceful figures. Standing in front was a beautiful woman in red. Behind the woman in red was a girl in white holding a short sword. The woman in red seemed to be looking at the rising sun in the sky, but the woman in white looked at him with her head tilted her head, her eyes as if she was looking at a piece of meat that was about to be weighed.

A dark light flashed in the man's eyes. If he had not seen such a stunning beauty in his life, he would have to find it anyway. But at this time, these two people appeared in this place...

"Who are you?" the man asked vigilantly.

When Chu Ling heard this, he looked back at him and asked without answering a question, "Master of the Great Village in Galuo Mountain, Xue Peng?"

The man said sinisterly: "Since you know you are the leader of the village, please move out of your way. The leader of the village will not argue with you."

Chu Ling chuckled, "Then why don't you come?"

Xue Peng's eyes suddenly fell on the delicate short sword on Chu Ling's waist, his eyes shrank, and he said sternly: "Are you the God Bless Princess?!"

Xue Yuan snorted, "Since you know it's a princess, you won't surrender!"

"Snatch it..." Xue Peng showed a strange look on his face and said, "Yes... we have lost, I... I am willing to surrender, and I want to surrender, and ask the princess..." As he said that, he leaned over and bowed to the ground. Two whistle-whistle sounds, and two strong winds shot out from behind his neck and rushed towards Chu Ling. He was not far from Chu Ling and the other two, and the mechanical crossbows hidden behind him had strong strength and arrived in front of Chu Ling in an instant. But before he could see a smug smile on his face, the face that raised his head suddenly froze. The woman in red in front of him turned around and moved her feet lightly. Two slender fingers clamped the two crossbows that were shot quickly. Chu Ling casually held the crossbows on the ground and smiled faintly: "I didn't expect that the village leader would still want to play with such children's things at such age, but he was quite childlike."

"..." Xue Peng gritted his teeth and was almost irritated by the anger. But the person on the other side did not give him this opportunity. Xue Yuan had already stabbed him with a short arrow. The two of them started fighting back and forth on the path in an instant.

By the time Feng Sibei and his men arrived, Xue Peng had already been pressed by Xue Yuan with a short arrow and knelt on the ground. Feng Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward, "I am incompetent, the Labor Princess takes action himself."

Chu Ling smiled and said, "It's nothing, it seems that your side is fine?"

Feng Sibei nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Li and Brother Huang and Brother Zhao stayed behind to deal with the aftermath."

Chu Ling said: "Please leave it to you first, and then to Li Dan, so that he can ask carefully."

"Yes, princess."

Chu Ling waved to Xue Yuan and said, "Send the order to go on, clean up and repair it for one day, and set off for Hengzhou tomorrow."

Although I don’t understand what to do in Hengzhou, Feng Sibei would not question the princess’s words and bowed: “Yes, princess.”
