When Qin Xiaorong and the others were killed in a state of embarrassment, they asked the two brothers Yunji and Yunli to take action. They came here today just for now.
Yun Ji and Yun Li were both former bandits. The killing techniques of these bandits were different from those of Qin Xiao and others from the army. Ordinary people might not be able to notice it, but the people in the governor's mansion were not ordinary people. Qin Xiao would do it every time.
Be cautious every step of the way.
The troops gradually lost ground and immediately began to retreat.
Since then, Qin Xiao's plan to conceal the truth has been successfully achieved.
The soldiers and subordinates returned to the city to report, making the county governor sure that his subtle work had been exposed and what happened last night was completely unaware that the person under his nose had changed his master.
At the same time, Lan An rushed back to the military camp and handed a letter from Qin Xiao to Jun Ci.
After Jun Ci read it, his eyebrows raised, his eyes overflowed with a smile, and he handed the letter to Huo Qingqu.
In the letter, Qin Xiao briefly stated all his battle plans and achievements. The purpose of writing the letter to Jun Ci was not to let Jun Ci know the results of the battle in advance, but to ask Jun Ci to appoint someone to take over. After all, they were about to
Return trip.
"General Qin, you have lived up to your lord's cultivation." Huo Qingqu was amazed after reading it.
These days, he is also studying how to break into this place. There are many methods, but the best one is the same as Qin Xiao's, but he has never investigated it on the spot, so he doesn't know if it is feasible.
If you can't find a place that bypasses the village and goes directly to Ma bandit village, you will have to change your plan.
Hasn’t Sheriff Jin Yongcheng thought of this method?
I'm afraid I've thought about it and implemented it, but I haven't found a breakthrough, which shows how difficult it is to find this road.
Qin Xiao's letter mentioned that he encountered many bones along the way, some of which had government tokens on them. They were obviously spies who were lost or in danger in the mountains.
"He is a precious jade. There is no need to carve it. He just needs to wait for the opportunity." Jun Ci did not dare to take credit.
As for Qin Xiao, apart from teaching him some martial arts that he was interested in, the rest was not her fault.
As for the method of combat and marching, it is not clear whether it was inherited from his family or whether it was carefully cultivated by Ying Wuchen for more than half a year.
Qin Xiao's bravery is innate.
"Inform Xu Jin and Sanniang to go there." Jun Ci told Huo Qingqu.
Now there is no one else who can be sent to take charge.
"How should the Lord govern?" Huo Qingqu asked.
Jun Ci: "No need to plan, this is not something we should get involved in."
Huo Qingqu raised his eyebrows: "General, do you want to report to His Majesty?"
Jun Ci nodded: "This place is outside Jinyong City and controls several villages with thousands of people, strangling the throat of Jinyong City. Jinyong City is the gateway to Kyoto, how can I take it privately?"
This is different from other bandits.
If Qin Xiao only took money, no matter how much, Jun Ci could swallow it, march and fight, and the spoils should belong to him.
But Qin Xiao had captured the territory, and Jun Ci couldn't take it for himself just because no one knew about it.
"My lord, I'm afraid General Qin is unwilling to do so." Huo Qingqu reminded Jun Ci.
If it was just for money, Qin Xiao wouldn't go to such great lengths. He obviously had the same idea as Huo Qingqu and wanted to privatize this place for Jun Ci!
Or become the horse farm and granary behind the Central Guard Army!
"I will wait for him to return, explain the pros and cons to him, and then go to the palace to inform Your Majesty." Jun Ci said.
After opening his mouth, Huo Qingqu stopped trying to persuade.
He has been with Jun Ci for a long time, and he knows very well that Jun Ci has made up his mind, and they cannot shake it, unless...
Unless Kuro-kun is here.
With this thought in mind, Huo Qingqu turned around and made arrangements according to Jun Ci's instructions.
Qin Xiao escorted the people back safely two days later before returning to the army.
His face was still pale, so Jun Ci asked a military doctor to diagnose him and make sure that his injuries were treated well before he felt relieved.
"Your deployment in this battle is exquisite, and I can't find anything wrong with it." Jun Ci gave him a high degree of approval, then stared at his wounds and said, "But it is a bit risky."
"The general taught you a lesson." Qin Xiao accepted it humbly.
Although he came back alive from the bear's paw, only he knew the danger at that time. If he hadn't been lucky, he would still be a corpse lying in the deep mountains and forests.
A person's destiny is mysterious and mysterious. He will never take such an adventure again.
"In the end, you must practice martial arts diligently and strengthen yourself."
The transformation from the beginning to the present for the proud and arrogant Qin Xiao really made Jun Ci look at him with admiration.
"You are recovering from your injuries. I will gather everyone together in two days to review your battle together." Jun Ci warned and stood up.
After taking two steps, she thought about the Ma Bandit Village again. She turned around and said to Qin Xiao: "I want to report the land of the Ma Bandits to Your Majesty."
"Why?" Qin Xiao, who had been calm just now, suddenly became excited and sat up suddenly.
"Occupy the land for your own use, and if you are not a bandit, you are a thief." There are only eight short words in Jun's words.
As human subjects, they are neither bandits nor traitors. How can they privately occupy territory, accept taxes from the people, fool the imperial court, and openly oppose the imperial court?
Qin Xiao was blocked and couldn't speak, but as Huo Qingqu expected, he was extremely unwilling: "But if you leave it to His Majesty, can Your Majesty be able to hold on?"
Suddenly, Jun Ci's eyes sharpened, and she stared at Qin Xiao intently.
Qin Xiao met Jun Ci's gaze without hesitation at first, but gradually he began to feel short of breath, and finally lost his sight and looked away.
"Your Majesty is not a foolish king, and it is not your Majesty's fault that the Zhou family is so powerful." Jun Ci also softened his voice, "As human ministers, we cannot share your Majesty's worries, nor can we overthrow the Zhou family who covers the sky with one hand.
We are incompetent because time has not waited for us.
Since you hate the Zhou family, why do you want to follow her?"
Qin Xiao lowered his eyes. He knew what Jun Ci said made sense, but he still felt a little awkward.
The fruits of his hard work may soon fall into the hands of Zhou Rong. It is almost as if he has been charged into the battle by Zhou Rong, and a suffocation is stuck in his chest, which is difficult to relieve!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty is not as incompetent as you think." Jun Ci said with relief knowing where Qin Xiao's depression came from.
Qin Xiao twitched his lips, expressing disbelief, but did not refute again.
You didn't say much in your speech. It's not his fault that Qin Xiao has no confidence in His Majesty.
Most of the officials in the imperial court had this mentality. Otherwise, how could the Zhou family cover the sky with one hand?
However, she was favored by His Majesty. If not for Your Majesty's strong support, she would not be here today to protect the army. No matter what His Majesty's intentions are, she has received His Majesty's favor and is His Majesty's minister, so she has to fulfill her duties as a minister.
point.
Including the booklet that clearly recorded the seized property, Jun Ci also handed it to Yuan You.
Yuan You held the memorial submitted by Jun Ci and was lost in thought for a long time.
I don't know how long it took before he spoke: "Aci, I will still meet a minister like you in my lifetime. I am worthy of serving as king in vain."
There is joy, regret, and unspeakable desolation in the voice...
