Yao met with the Xiangcheng County Commander this morning, and in her expectation that this matter would only be an hour, that is, ordinary greetings, she would report the important things in the city in recent days, and then talk about the achievements of the past six months, so she didn't plan to keep him for lunch. Unexpectedly, this person seems to have obtained the true biography of the Songxi County Guard, although there are not many reports, a few things carefully and slowly hummed and said that it was noon, Yao Jin didn't have breakfast, he really heard his stomach growl, seeing that he was not about to finish, he frowned, stretched out his hand and interrupted:

"Shi County Order, Your Highness has understood what you said, and the briefing is here, and I will read it carefully later. You came early in the morning, and now it's noon, and I think there are a lot of official duties in your yamen, so go back quickly, don't delay. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, the subordinates are about to talk to Your Highness about the county government......"

Yao Jin saw that this guy was about to start chattering again, and really wanted to find a reason to send him out, but it happened that Liu Xiaolong walked in quickly from outside the hall, bowed and handed a letter with both hands: "Your Highness, there is an urgent report from the Songxi County Guard." ”

"Bring it. Yao Jin stretched out his hand to take it, Zhan Xin hurriedly swept it, his face suddenly became solemn, he closed the letter and got up and walked towards the door, saying as he walked: "Liu Xiaolong, let everyone pack their bags and set off for Jiuwei in half an hour!"

"Yes!"

His Royal Highness, the rare lord of Xiangshan County, left, and he didn't know whether he should wait or retreat for a while, so he grabbed Liu Xiaolong and asked, "Captain Guard, where is Your Highness going?"

"Your Highness has something. Lord Prefectural, you can go back first. ”

"But I'm not done yet—"

"Lord County Commander, Your Highness has come out on this trip, Xiangcheng is the only place she has praised, you can put a hundred and twenty hearts!" Liu Xiaolong hugged his fists slightly, and the person walked out of the hall quickly, leaving the county order that had not reacted for a while, and left with a smile on his face after a while.

Compared with the expression of Xiangcheng County Commander who left Jialou with joy as if he was about to be praised or even promoted, Yao Jin sat in a spacious and gorgeous carriage and left Xiangcheng, but he had an angry face, "That Jiuwei Town is not big, and Haikou has only been rampant on the Alor Islands and the surrounding seas, and has never been to Jiuwei Town. How could he dare to raid villages and towns this time, not only looting, but also injuring nearly 100 civilians!

"They are all unarmed ordinary people, how can they ......" Lin Yuebai clenched Yao Jin's hand, "Your Highness, this time we must purge these bandits, otherwise how can we be worthy of so many innocent people." However, now that I know that you are on the front line as the lord of a country, I am really worried that if the pirate returns-"

"If they come again, let them taste my sword. Xuannu's hand was firmly on the sword next to her, she looked at Yao Jin and said, "Your Highness, Xuannu grew up on the sea, and she had dealt with these people a lot when she was chasing the Mountain Islands, so she couldn't be clearer about the behavior of these pirates. They must have heard the news that you were going to the island in person, so they went to Jiuwei Town to kill and plunder, just to scare you, and if you stopped and discouraged the idea of going to the island, they would be even more proud. ”

Yao Jin thought of hundreds of civilians injured, dozens of families not only looted, but also burned down, these people are the people of her Xiaonan Kingdom, they just worked hard for a day to sleep, but suffered this disaster in their sleep, the more he thought about it, the more he hated, and said with a gloomy face: "If they don't commit such a crime, maybe I won't do anything to them, but now, since they dare to provoke so openly, they don't take the lives of my Xiaonanguo seriously, if they don't kill them and escape from the Arrow Islands, I, Yao Jin, will not leave Jiuwei Town!"

Xuan Nu thought that she recognized Yao Jin's words very much, and echoed loudly with bright eyes: "Xuan Nu will follow His Highness, not clear the pirates, and never leave Jiuwei!"

The group rushed non-stop for a few days, and in the middle of the way, Yao Jin sent an urgent letter to Fu Jiang, who had just sent the newly trained defenders to nearby Dingchang County, asking him to immediately lead the troops to Jiuwei. By the time Yao Jin arrived in Jiuwei Town, Fu Jiang's men and horses had already camped outside the town, and he was waiting outside the largest inn in the town with Ji Meishan, the guard of Songxi County with a pale face.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, these bandits have simply lost their conscience, lost their conscience! The people of Jiuwei Town are so innocent, their subordinates, their subordinates are really-"

"What is it? If you had gone to inspect the Alor Islands earlier, and had been on guard against those pirates, why would the whole town have been attacked at night! Hundreds of people were injured, and the whole town was defenseless and defenseless! Are you embarrassed to cry with Your Highness?"

Yao Jin reprimanded on the one hand, and walked into the inn quickly, seeing that this place had been cleared, and there were people in and out of the government uniform, thinking that Ji Meishan had already used this place as a temporary command post, and he had not returned to his county guard mansion for several days. Her face looked a little better, and she said to Fu Jiang: "Have you figured out the situation here? Can the people you bring familiar with the water? Maybe you can go to the island with us on a boat?"

Fu Jiang was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, because Xiaonanguo now has a territory on the sea, the recruits who are trained now are all knowledgeable about water, but——"

"It's just something, don't babble. Yao Jin drank a cup of tea offered by Lin Yuebai in one gulp, pointed to the door and said: "Yuebai, you let them settle down in the carriages and horses, this is going to live for a while, let Liu Xiaolong and the people brought by the Nanguo Mansion replace the guards of this inn, and then send people to the injured people's homes tomorrow to appease them one by one according to the rules set on the road." ”

"Your Highness, do you want to go to the island too?" Fu Jiang hesitated a little, but seeing that Yao Jin's words and deeds were already planned, he paused for a moment and said, "If you want to go to the island, your subordinates will arrange it immediately." ”

"Arrangement, what are you going to arrange? Haven't you made arrangements for going to the island?"

"Back to Your Highness, the pirates' nest has been explored, just on the main island of the Alor Islands, the original arrangement of the subordinates was to find a small team of people to sneak up on the main island late one night and hide, and the others went to the nearby island to hide, and when they went out to sea during the day, I will gather on the main island, control and imprison all the remaining pirates and their families on the island, and then lay a net, and wait for the leader of the pirates to come back and catch them all. ”

"Your way, it sounds okay, so let's do it. Yao Jin thought for a moment and nodded, "It's just that those pirates ransacked Jiuwei Town, they must be on guard against us, maybe they will leave an eye on the town, and your actions need to be kept secret." ”

"But if Your Highness wants to go to the island, your vassals don't dare to make such an adventurous plan!" Fu Jiang suddenly knelt down with his fists clenched, "Your Highness, this Alor Islands is a wolf's den, how can you risk your daughter's body, if you have a case, even if your vassals die, it will be difficult to reach one or two!"

Yao Jin just picked up the teacup to drink at this moment, and when he said this, he immediately put the teacup on the table and said word by word: "Fu Jiang, listen well, the lord of the country not only wants to go to the island, but also to see with his own eyes that you will arrest and put those pirates in prison, otherwise what is the point of my trip? I, Yao Jin, do not know the pirates, and do not leave Jiuwei!"
