Chapter 744 The Style of a Female General

Gao Bufan left the Miao village under the escort of two hundred Miao soldiers and headed upstream to Bajun. He made great fanfare along the way and no longer concealed his whereabouts. If the number of people was small, it would naturally be more convenient to take a boat, but now there were two more people around him.

Hundreds of Miao soldiers could only walk by land.

The distance by land from Linjiang County to Ba County, the county seat of Ba County upstream, is about 500 miles. Based on the Miao soldiers’ journey, they should be able to reach it in about four or five days. If they travel urgently day and night, it will take two days.

We'll be there by night.

The Miao people have lived in the mountains since they were young, and have developed good skills in climbing mountains and ridges. They have good foot strength, fast footwork, and agility. This is one of the Miao people's major advantages. The Miao people have another advantage, that is, they are good at climbing.

They are never picky about food and living conditions. Whether it is wild fruits and vegetables, or insects, ants, birds and beasts, they will not refuse anything that can fill their stomachs. They can sleep peacefully by spreading leaves and dead grass on the ground.

The cost of raising such a Miao soldiers is naturally very cost-effective. However, everything has its pros and cons, and there are many shortcomings in the Miao soldiers. They have only been marching for two days, and Gao Bufan is one head and two big. The captain of the soldiers, Gao Dahe, is even more...

They were going crazy. If it weren't for the three leaders, A Qing, brother and sister, and Meng Zhuan, these Miao soldiers would probably have made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and become lawless.

It was noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, the autumn tiger was releasing its heat wantonly, and everyone was sweating profusely. The coolness brought by the continuous autumn rain a few days ago was gone. In later generations, Chongqing was known as the Furnace City. Unexpectedly, it was more than a thousand years ago.

It was so hot here a hundred years ago, probably because of the topography. Sichuan is surrounded by mountains on all sides, which is really not conducive to the dissipation of heat.

Gao Bufan put up a pergola and looked ahead. He vaguely saw the shadow of a city outline, and asked Meng Zhuan beside him: "Is that the Fuling County seat?"

Before Meng Zhuan could speak, Ah Qing had already answered: "Yes, A-mei and I have been there many times, but the drug dealers there were all profiteers and the prices they gave were very low. Later, we stopped going there to sell medicinal materials.

, save it and transport it to Jiangling downstream, the price can increase seven to eight times, and some good-quality wild ginseng can even increase more than ten times!"

A Qing still couldn't help but grit his teeth when mentioning these shady medicinal vendors.

In his previous life, Gao Bufan took a boat trip to the Three Gorges and also visited the city of Chongqing, but never to Fuling. The reason why he knew this name was because the mustard here is famous.

"The weather is hot. Let's take a rest for half an hour, drink some water, and then rush to Fuling City in one go." Gao Bufan ordered.

After giving the order, the Miao soldiers immediately dispersed with a roar. Some found a place under the shade of a tree and lay down on the ground. Some ran to the roadside and took out their tools and poured water. Some were rummaging frantically in the grass.

There were snakes, insects, rats, and ants, and some were looking around, drifting away, not knowing what they were thinking.

When Gao Dahe saw that Meng Zhuan and others were not there, he handed a water bag to Gao Bufan and said in a low voice with a sad expression: "His Royal Highness, we really shouldn't let these Miao soldiers come to escort us."

Gao Bufan knowingly asked: "Why?"

Gao Dahe frowned and said: "King Qi, you have also seen that the discipline of the Miao soldiers is slow. They are always noisy when marching and camping, and there is no order. Moreover... they don't pay attention to hygiene. They poop everywhere and even run into other people's houses."

They pooped under the eaves. Forget it, those guys still do petty theft and love to take advantage. Didn’t we pass by a market town yesterday?

What a good guy, everything he sees is fine. The buns from the bun stall, the salted fish from the salted fish shop, the cloth from the cloth shop, and even the broken pottery bowl used to feed the dog at the door of the house have been taken away. If this continues,

King Qi, I'm afraid your reputation will be ruined by these guys. How will you convince Xiao Yu, the governor of Bajun, to join us? Or send them back."

Gao Bufan pondered for a moment before saying: "The Miao people have lived in the mountains since they were young, without the constraints of laws and rules. They are not such people in their hearts. Look at Aqing, Ayu and Mengjuan, they are not like this, because

They often walk where the Han people live and know how to behave, so give these Miao soldiers some time to adapt. I have already talked with Ah Qing and the others, and I believe they will restrain the tribesmen well."

Hearing this, Gao Dahe had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Okay."

Half an hour passed, and Gao Bufan ordered to start again. As a result, these Miao soldiers were procrastinated and took nearly half a stick of incense to assemble. There were even two fewer people, both of whom were Bai Miao soldiers.

At this time, both A-Qing and A-Yu lost their composure. The former looked ferocious and shouted the names of the two Miao soldiers at the top of his lungs.

A moment later, two Miao soldiers were seen running back from a distance in a panic. One of them was carrying an old hen upside down. They were sweating from running. Gao Bufan couldn't help but frown when he saw this.

"Where did you two go?" Ah Qing couldn't help but said, he stepped forward and kicked each of the two Miao soldiers to the ground.

The two Miao soldiers got up from the ground, their heads hanging down and not daring to say a word. Ah Yu asked coldly: "Where did the chicken come from?"

One of the Miao soldiers pointed in the direction they were going and said, "It's the pheasant we caught in the grass over there." After saying that, he handed the hen to A-Yu with a flattering look on his face.

"I also... picked up an egg." Another Miao soldier hesitantly took out an egg from his pocket.

Gao Dahe muttered: "This hen doesn't look like a pheasant, maybe it was raised by someone else."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an old farmer running from a distance carrying a manure fork, and angrily yelled: "You damn chicken thief, please give me back my chickens."

The old farmer was probably old and his eyesight was not very good. He chased after him cursingly, only to find Gao Bufan waiting for a large group of people, looming over Wu Yangyang. He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away while carrying a dung fork.

, not even the hen dared to ask for it.

"Old man, please stay." Gao Bufan quickly said loudly.

However, instead of stopping, the old farmer walked faster. Gao Bufan had no choice but to shout: "Stop!"

Hey, the old farmer trembled all over, but stopped, turned around tremblingly, threw the dung fork, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, have mercy on me, except for this old hen, there are only a few chickens in my family."

There’s nothing else.”

Gao Bufan couldn't help crying or laughing. He stepped forward to help the old farmer up and said with a cheerful expression: "Don't panic, old man. We are not bandits. We will not rob, let alone take your life."

The old farmer was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked at Gao Bufan carefully. He found that the young man in front of him had red lips and white teeth. He was very handsome. He was also dressed as a scholar. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said doubtfully: "You... you are really not bandits.

?”

Gao Bufan smiled and shook his head and said: "Of course not!" After saying that, he winked at A Yu, who immediately whipped the two Miao soldiers and reprimanded: "What are you doing standing still?

Return it to me quickly!"

The two Miao soldiers dejectedly handed the hen and eggs to the old farmer, but the latter hesitated and did not dare to accept them. Gao Bufan took the hen and eggs and put them into the old farmer's hands, saying apologetically: "Old man, I will discipline you myself."

I'm really sorry for not being strict, Dahe, I'll give the old man fifty cents as compensation."

Gao Dahe quickly took out fifty cents and handed it to the old farmer. The latter looked surprised, but at this time he finally believed that Gao Bufan was not a bandit. He took the hen and eggs and said: "There is no need for compensation, but Mr.

Be restrained from now on

Under my own hands, my hens laid eggs in the grass under the fence. These two guys sneaked away and picked two gourds on the fence. They were only two fingers thick.

Isn’t it a waste of food?”

Ah Yu couldn't help but blushing after hearing this, and whipped the two Miao soldiers several times, until their skin was torn and their flesh was bleeding. She shouted, "Where are the melons?"

These two Hmong people were really strong-skinned. They didn't say a word when they were whipped like that. They just pointed at their stomachs. It looked like they had eaten the gourds alive. The melons were only two fingers big and were not enough for them.

Two mouthfuls.

With a stern look on her face, A-Yu pulled out the sharp hatchet from her waist and threw it in front of the two of them, saying harshly: "Cut off one of each's fingers!"

As soon as these words came out, all the Miao soldiers present finally changed their expressions, and the two Miao soldiers involved turned pale and looked at Ah Qing with pleading eyes.

Although Ah Qing felt that his sister was making a fuss out of a molehill, he would not go against his sister's wishes just for the help of two Miao soldiers. A leader must have the authority of a leader, so he glared and shouted: "Didn't you hear that?"

Amei’s words?”

The hierarchy of the Miao people is still very strict. The two Miao soldiers obviously did not dare to disobey them. As expected, they each cut off a little finger, and immediately they were filled with blood and screamed miserably.

Gao Dahe was silent when he saw this, and Gao Bufan just watched calmly and did not stop him. These Miao soldiers were too poorly disciplined and they really needed to scare the monkeys. Ah Yu acted decisively and harshly, and she had the style of a female general, which is great!

The effect was undoubtedly quite obvious. When Miao Bing was present and saw his companion's finger being severed, his sloppy expression immediately calmed down, and he even straightened his stance.

"Old man, I'm really sorry. They ate your melons. I'll pay you five cents!" Ah Yu took out five cents from her purse and handed it to the old farmer.

Seeing how majestic and ruthless the girl was, the old farmer made two Miao soldiers cut off their fingers with just one sentence. How dare they ask for her money? He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, it's not worth the money. Alas... I should have known better."

Forget it, the two little melons won’t get into trouble.” After saying that, he turned around and left.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly ran out not far away. The one running at the front was a teenage girl, while a dozen people, both male and female, were chasing behind them, shouting something as they chased back.

The girl was running this way, and she probably found a group of people gathering here. She hesitated for a moment before being knocked down by the two villagers who were chasing after her.

"Let me go!" The girl struggled desperately and shouted, but was finally tied up.

A-Yu was originally feeling embarrassed and annoyed because her clan members had committed crimes. Seeing so many people bullying a weak woman, she suddenly became furious and rushed forward and shouted: "Stop!"
