Qiao Mu's words made Mu Mu's heart sink, and he stared at Feng Jiu'er, his eyes becoming serious.
"The bandits here are different from those in Beimu Country."
"How is it different?"
Feng Jiuer looked at the surrounding scenery and didn't know what she was thinking.
Mu Mu said: "In comparison, the bandits in this area are more ferocious and vicious, and their martial arts are also more powerful!"
"Isn't this better?"
There was a large group of people with high martial arts skills that I couldn't even count! Feng Jiuer's eyes lit up as if she had seen a lot of money.
If it can be used by her, why worry about big things happening?
"Don't worry blindly, they won't surrender."
Mu Mu's face darkened and he warned: "I'm not kidding, don't think wildly."
"What can I think about?
I have no connections and no money, so even if I want to, I can’t do it, right?”
Feng Jiuer smiled and didn't take Mu Mu's warning to heart at all.
However, she was right.
Although the Ninth Prince had given her a large amount of rewards before, and the money was indeed large, the amount of money required to recruit soldiers and horses was definitely huge beyond your expectation.
However, even if she is really rich, she still thinks too much about conquering the bandits here.
"The area of this mountain range occupies at least half of the country of Beimu. If you go out to the mountains, the plain area is definitely as big as five cities."
"So big?"
This area is really beyond Feng Jiuer's expectation.
"Just a conservative estimate."
Mu Mu has been to many places over the years, before going to Imperial College.
"That is to say, is it possible that it will be even bigger?"
Feng Jiuer's eyes were even more dazzling, almost like stars.
"What about the population?"
"Unable to count."
"Then why do you insist that no one can conquer you?"
If you have money, why can't you try it?
Although, she is really poor.
"Before," Mu Mu looked into the distance, his voice a bit long: "A tragedy happened."
Feng Jiuer said nothing, Qiao Mu whispered: "You mean, the incident where Zhao Yu was exterminated?"
"What is Zhao Yu?"
Even Feng Jiuer could feel that the atmosphere had become heavier by the way.
"Zhao Yu was a nation in the past. More than a hundred years ago, they were the most powerful bandits in this area and the largest in scale."
"At that time, the imperial court sent a prince and paid a heavy sum of money to recruit him to surrender."
"At that time, the head of Zhao Yu's family was tired of the life of a bandit and wanted their next generation of children to be successful. Finally, he was persuaded to submit to the imperial court."
Feng Jiuer originally wanted to say, isn't this a good thing?
But when I thought about it, my heart suddenly felt cold.
If it is a good thing, why does it become a taboo? Isn't this court going back on its promise?
"You guessed it right, and the Phoenix City you see now..." "Phoenix City was the place Zhao Yu originally occupied?"
God, I didn’t expect that there would be such a past event in Phoenix City! “That’s right, that prince took the head of Zhao Yu and hundreds of Zhao Yu’s important people, and said they were going back to the capital together to receive the reward, but they had just left.
, Zhao Yu’s land was besieged by a large army.”
"As for those more than a hundred people, they were also drugged on the way, and they were all poisoned to death..." Feng Jiuer felt her heart tightening, and even breathing suddenly became difficult.
Shameless! It’s really shameless! How did the imperial court manage to do this to a nation with so many orphans, widows and children?
"Jiu'er, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Qiao Mu was a little worried, her face was pale and something didn't look right.
"It's okay, just a little...shocked."
Feng Jiuer clenched her palms and let out a long breath: "It's okay, keep talking."
She looked at Mu Mu and asked, "So, does Zhao Yu have any successors now?"
"It is said that there were still a group of Zhao Yu's tribesmen who survived the disaster, but they all left Zhao Yu's land and lived in this area."
Feng Jiuer's gaze once again fell to the mountains in the distance.
No wonder Mu Mu said just now that unifying this place is impossible because everyone is afraid that Zhao Yu's genocide will happen again.
The imperial court of more than a hundred years ago was naturally not the current Zhan dynasty, nor the imperial dynasty of the previous generation.
In the dynasty at that time, I didn’t know who was in power.
The prince who was sent out was really hateful! How many people from Zhao Yu lived in the huge Phoenix City?
Genocide, that is, children, the elderly, and powerless women are not spared! When you close your eyes, it is like seeing a group of innocent children being brutally slaughtered.
So as soon as she closed her eyes, she opened them immediately, not daring to think about it. The picture she imagined was too thrilling.
"Okay, ahead is the entrance to the mountains, everyone, please be careful."
Mu Mu suddenly said.
He grabbed the reins and glanced at Feng Jiu'er: "Although we don't need to go deep into the mountains on this trip, we will also pass through a part of the mountain system where there are bandits everywhere and it is extremely dangerous."
"You have to be careful and protect yourself."
"I know."
Feng Jiuer touched the cold knife on her leg that Jiu Qing returned to her yesterday, and took another look at the entrance to the mountains.
In fact, she didn't want to hurt the bandits here at all.
I hope they won't be in trouble, so they can live in peace.
Mu Mu rode behind to arrange things.
When Feng Jiuer turned around, she could still see Jiu Qing not far away.
Along the way, he kept riding his horse not far behind her, and could not say a word the whole day.
Ever since she suspected that she had some special feelings for him, Feng Jiuer rarely took the initiative to chat with Jiu Qing.
As a result, Jiu Qing seemed even more out of place among the crowd.
Even when he was resting, he found a place to sit alone and ate the food sent by Long Shiyi.
However, although Jiu Qing was cold, Long Shiyi and Long Shiyi seemed to get along well... Jiu'er's palms tightened, and she immediately turned back and looked ahead, not daring to glance behind her again.
What's going on?
I agreed not to pay attention to him anymore, but I couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
When I think about things related to him, I can't help but fall in love immediately.
No, it's too dangerous! You have to stop quickly! "Chaiyue, let's go!"
With an order, Zhui Yue rode her forward quickly, and in a blink of an eye, she was beside Xue Gu and Tuoba Keyan.
"Why did you come up?
The entrance to the mountains is ahead, you should go back to the back."
Xue Gu frowned.
"You are all here, what can happen?"
Feng Jiuer laughed and laughed, "I just came up to see the scenery."
Xue Gu pursed her lower lip and looked back.
Jiu'er came up, and Jiu Qing quietly walked not far behind her.
With him around, Xue Gu actually feels at ease.
She finally nodded and said, "You can enjoy the scenery, but you are not allowed to run around, you know?"
