Chapter 227: Encircling and Suppressing the Golden Leopard
Chang Sheng was dressed in a military uniform, with a sword pinned to his waist, his hair tied high, his eyes were deep, he sat on a horse straight, looked at the neat two hundred soldiers in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Let's go"
The hand that grasped the reins and pulled hard, and the horse ran out as fast as he could.
Hao Peng followed and raised the spear in his hand: "Let's go"
"Yes"
As soon as Hao Peng's words fell, the two hundred soldiers turned around in unison and walked out of the camp after them.
Chang Sheng took Hao Pengjiang and Jianghai, as well as 200 soldiers, after a three-hour journey, to a large field forest near the junction of the border city and the Kanjiang River.
Jiang He rode a step forward: "Master, this is the Lost Forest, and the bandits' nest is here." ”
The largest bandit den in the border city, Jinyinzhai is behind this maze forest. The owner of Jinyinzhai is called Jin San, because he dislikes his name is not grand enough, Jin San gives himself the name Money Leopard. There are more than 100 people under the leadership of the leopard, who often go out of the woods and rob the people of their money. The most hateful thing is that they also robbed the people's daughters. As long as they see a girl who looks good, whether there is anyone or not, they will directly rob it and loot it to the village for them to have fun.
Because the county officials in the border cities have a private relationship with the leopard, they also turn a blind eye. Many people who had been robbed went to the county government to complain, and the money leopard was afraid of any accidents, so he sent a lot of gold and silver treasures to the county officials in charge overnight. As a result, the people's complaint was dismissed.
If you want to say why the imperial court has only sent troops to encircle and suppress Jinyinzhai now, it is because Jinyinzhai has only risen for a long time, only a month. The golden leopard, a primitive street gangster, learned some skills from somewhere. Not only did he gather many people like him, but he also pulled some beggars, and then set up a maze in the wild forest, changed the wild forest into a maze forest, and established a gold and silver village in the maze forest.
Chang Sheng carefully observed the surroundings of the lost forest, saw that there was a tall canopy in each direction around him, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Did you bring something?"
Jiang Hai took out the thing in his arms, which was a palm-sized jade bottle: "Master, this is the antidote sent by the prince, saying that as long as it is sprinkled in the wind at the entrance of the maze forest, it will move with the wind and break the blind spell in this maze forest." ”
"Okay! Go!" This time to clean up the bandits, on the surface, it was the emperor's holy decree. But Chang Sheng knew that everything was the regent's intention, and he must have known about the bad behavior of Jinyinzhai, so he asked the emperor for a holy decree and asked him to lead troops to the border city to clear out the bandits. He also specially found an antidote for them to crack the labyrinth. No matter what the reason was, the prince named him to come to the border city to be responsible for the operation of clearing the bandits, but he knew that the prince was for the people of the Tianyun Dynasty, and he was a good prince.
"Yes"
Jiang Hai took the jade bottle forward, waited to ride to the entrance of the forest, stopped his horse, opened the lid of the jade bottle, and poured out the liquid in the bottle. The fragrance spreads with the breeze, and there is a smell of some kind of plant in the air.
"Look, General, the fog in the woods is gradually dissipating. Hao Peng's surprised voice sounded in his ears.
Chang Sheng looked at the woods that were slowly regaining clarity and narrowed his eyes. With so many people in their group, it is impossible for the other party not to be unaware of it. Perhaps, they are already prepared and waiting for them in the back.
After the contents of the bottle were completely poured out, Jiang Hai covered the jade bottle and stuffed it behind his waist: "The general's antidote has worked, should we rush in now?"
