If there are only a thousand elite soldiers, it is really not an easy task to kill all the bandits in Langya Mountain. It is not that these thousand elite soldiers cannot defeat hundreds of bandits, but the terrain of Langya Mountain is unique, and these bandits occupy a large area.
With the geographical advantage, we can't defeat them and outrun them!
Suppressing bandits is not a battle between two armies. Everyone rushes to the battlefield together. You come and I fight with real skills. The elite soldiers want to fight, but the bandits are not willing to accompany them. They are fools not to run away when they have the chance.
And this is the reason why the imperial court failed to wipe out all the bandits every time.
When the secret guards arrived at the village with elite soldiers, most of the people in the village had fled. Only Zhutou Liu, a few "elite soldiers strong", stayed here to hold the elite soldiers back.
"You guys, smash it for me!" Zhu Tou Liu saw the soldiers and horses of the imperial court and came to the shooting range. He waved his arms and shouted, and countless broken stones were thrown down from top to bottom.
The secret guard was not good at commanding battles. As soon as he arrived at Langya Mountain, he handed over the command to the generals in the army. When the generals saw the bandits attacking, they immediately ordered the infantry to come forward with shields to block the advance, and then ordered the archers.
shooting.
The mountain road is difficult to travel, and the elite soldiers did not bring any siege weapons, only bows and arrows and shields. In terms of weapons and equipment, they are not much different from the bandits. However, they are the attacking party and have no advantage in weapons, so they are at a disadvantage.
.
"Bang bang bang..." The stones flying out from the stockade hit the shield with such force that it dented the shield and caused the soldier behind the shield to stumble and fall.
However, the current situation seems to be that the bandits have the advantage, but they only have this advantage for a moment. The stones in the village are limited. Once the stones are finished, can they still block the attack of the elite soldiers?
Obviously, Zhu Tou Liu also understood this. When he saw the elite soldiers holding shields advancing slowly, Zhu Tou Liu was so anxious that he was sweating and hesitating in his heart whether to take the initiative to attack. But before he could make up his mind, he saw several figures coming from behind.
Elite soldiers flew out from the side, ignoring the flying stones, and jumped into the stockade.
"Quick, quick, stop them, stop them, don't let them in." Zhu Touliu took a few steps back, his face turning three points paler than before.
When the bandits saw someone rushing in, they rushed forward desperately, but their skills were not enough in front of the royal guards.
When the secret guards beat them, it was like an adult beating a child, without any effort at all.
"Bang bang bang..." The secret guard didn't even draw his sword, he kicked the people away one by one. At the same time, he also kicked away the people who were standing on the high platform and throwing rocks down.
Without the obstruction of stones, the elite soldiers immediately put away their shields, rushed in, and confronted the bandits head-on.
The two sides fought hand to hand, with the elite soldiers having the numerical advantage and the bandits having the geographical advantage. They were evenly matched at first. But the secret guards knew that the further down they went, the greater their advantage would be.
The elite soldiers of the imperial court have been trained day and night. They are not only strong in bursts, but also have strong endurance. But these bandits are different. Most of the bandits fight with a burst of energy. Once the energy stops, these bandits can only fight.
You can be slaughtered by others.
Seeing the elite soldiers move quickly to surround the bandits, the secret guard nodded slightly, "Master has an order, no one is allowed to be spared, everyone must breathe!"
Killing people can only be done with a nod. For these bandits, the worst thing is not death, but life is worse than death.
"Yes." The duty of soldiers is to obey. They are now listening to the orders of the secret guards. The orders of the secret guards are the orders of the general. They do not need to ask the reason, they only need to execute it.
The bandits and the elite soldiers got into a melee, and soon the elite soldiers with the numerical advantage took control. The secret guard took a quick look and asked the general to capture the women and children in the bandits' nest.
The secret guard does not need to care about how the women in the bandit den came to be. As for the children in the bandit den, the secret guard does not need to care. He only needs to capture them all, and the government will handle the rest.
After telling the general to arrest the people, the secret guard ordered another hundred people to come out and led them down the mountain.
There is also a den of human traffickers waiting for them to raid it!
While the secret guards were carrying out their mission of suppressing bandits in full swing, Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng were not idle either.
Gu Qiancheng, who had slept peacefully for a night, woke up in good spirits the next day, but his face was still pale and sallow. Qin Jiyan felt distressed for a while, and refused to let Gu Qiancheng go to the ground. He personally helped her wash up, and then let her go.
She waited peacefully on the bed while he brought Gu Qiancheng food in and fed it to Gu Qiancheng one bite at a time.
Gu Qiancheng didn't say no pretentiously, and calmly enjoyed the emperor's service. In the past few days, when he returned to the capital, there were a lot of servants around him. Qin Jiyan had no chance even if he wanted to serve her.
.
Maybe he was very hungry. Gu Qiancheng ate two bowls of porridge and it was not enough. He complained that he was not full. Qin Jiyan was very happy to see that Gu Qiancheng could eat. He immediately had some snacks brought over, but...
…
Extreme joy brings sorrow!
Before finishing a piece of pastry, Gu Qiancheng's face turned pale, he covered his mouth and pushed Qin Jiyan away, "I'm going to vomit!"
"What?" Qin Jiyan learned from the letter that Gu Qiancheng had severe morning sickness, but this was the first time he saw it. He was stunned for a while, not knowing how to start.
"I... want to vomit, bring me the spittoon, or a basin." Gu Qiancheng's face looked extremely ugly, as if he was enduring some pain.
Fortunately, Qin Jiyan had calmed down at this time. Although he felt sorry for Gu Qiancheng, he did not forget to take care of her. He supported Gu Qiancheng with one hand and held a spittoon in the other, "Spit here, be careful."
Gu Qiancheng's endurance reached the limit, and he vomited violently while holding the spittoon, vomiting out all the food he had just eaten.
After vomiting, Gu Qiancheng leaned weakly in Qin Jiyan's arms, with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and said pitifully: "Water!"
"Water, water, okay, okay, Qiancheng, please wait for me." Qin Jiyan held Gu Qiancheng in one hand and a spittoon in the other. He had no hands to pour water. He had to put Gu Qiancheng down first, and then stood up.
I poured a glass of water for her and put it to her mouth.
Gu Qiancheng was too lazy to move. He took Qin Jiyan's hand and gargled the water in his mouth.
Only then did the city gain some energy.
Qin Jiyan saw Gu Qiancheng suffering from morning sickness for the first time. Seeing Gu Qiancheng lying on the bed with a sluggish expression, he felt heartbroken and asked, "Why are you vomiting so much? Are the medicines prescribed by the imperial doctor useless?" Read the letter
It is said in the book that there is a difference from seeing it with your own eyes. Only when you really see it do you realize how hard Gu Qiancheng's life was during this period.
"It's no use. I vomited after eating it, even the concoction. I shouldn't have morning sickness." Gu Qiancheng said weakly.
Most people who are pregnant, no matter how delicate they are, will not vomit within one month of pregnancy. Under normal circumstances, one month of pregnancy, there is basically no feeling.
"It's not morning sickness? Could it be related to the poison that Elder Peng gave you?" Gu Qiancheng understood who Qin Jiyan was as soon as he told him.
"It should be, that medicine should have the function of protecting the fetus, but it is not good for the mother's body." Although Gu Qiancheng didn't feel that uncomfortable, he still didn't relax. He leaned on the bedside and said this weakly.
The experience of time, and finally concluded: "A child who has just reached full term will be lost if I am not careful, but I have been tortured during this period of time, but the child is perfectly fine. Elder Peng also said that as long as I have a breath, I will lose my child.
, the child will be fine."
"This is not a good thing." Qin Jiyan has lived in the palace since he was a child, and the women in the harem compete for favor. There are endless methods of protecting the fetus. Qin Jiyan has seen many, and the more reliable the method of protecting the child, the more likely it will be.
The greater the harm.
After all, there is no free lunch in this world.
"I think so too. This medicine is too weird. I slipped yesterday. Although the fall was not serious, it may be fatal to pregnant women. As a result, I was fine and neither was the child."
Of course Gu Qiancheng was happy that the child was okay, but she was afraid. The medicine the old housekeeper gave her was too overbearing, and she was really afraid that the medicine would harm the child.
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. Elder Peng is in our hands now, nothing will happen." Qin Jiyan was also worried, but in order to comfort Gu Qiancheng, he still pretended to be fine.
"It's useless for me to worry." Gu Qiancheng smiled bitterly, his eyelids started to fight. Gu Qiancheng didn't force himself to hold on, and said sleepily: "I seem to be sleepy again, I'm going to bed."
"Sleep peacefully, I'll be here to watch over you." Qin Jiyan helped Gu Qiancheng lie down thoughtfully, and pulled the quilt up for her.
Perhaps after vomiting and hurting his energy, Gu Qiancheng quickly fell asleep. Qin Jiyan waited for a while, made sure that Gu Qiancheng was asleep, and tidied up the room.
Qin Jiyan didn't know how to do this, but there were no maids on the boat. Qin Jiyan didn't want to secretly guard them into the house, so he had to do it himself.
After cleaning up the house, Qin Jiyan was ready to clean up the old housekeeper!
"Bring Elder Peng here." Qin Jiyan walked out of the room. The cold air around him could freeze people to death, and even the secret guards did not dare to get close.
Although Qin Jiyan was clumsy when cleaning the house, as soon as he walked out of this door, he was the extraordinary, noble and arrogant emperor again.
Ignoring the fear of the secret guard, Qin Jiyan strode to the bow of the ship, asked someone to bring a chair, sat there, and looked at the lake...
The secret guard didn't dare to raise his head, turned around and led the old housekeeper in front of Qin Jiyan.
The boat was moving too fast, and even in early spring the wind was blowing like a knife, but Qin Jiyan couldn't feel it. He sat there with an indifferent expression, looking into the distance with his deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
However, just because he doesn't feel cold, it doesn't mean that other people can also bear the cold. After the old housekeeper was fished out of the water by the secret guards last night, he has been throwing it in the cabin. The clothes on his body are still wet to this day.
Not only does it not keep warm, it also leaks very much, and when the wind blows, it makes it even more uncomfortable than not wearing it at all.
Even though the old housekeeper was in good health, he still shivered with cold when he was blown by the wind. Especially when he looked at Qin Jiyan's emotionless eyes, the old housekeeper felt even colder.
This time, he was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat!
