Looking at the few letters that the girl placed on the stone table in front of her, they looked a little yellow under the light, obviously an old thing.

The lieutenant did not touch the letter, and he continued to be gravely silent.

It stands to reason that he should directly refuse this kind of thing, but he can't bear it a little. But if he agrees, he doesn't have that power.

"The reason why I begged my lord to take me into Beijing and ask His Royal Highness the Prince Regent to help me find my brother is really useless. The people knew that His Royal Highness started from Liaodong, and after the destruction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he recruited talents in Liaodong. Although my brother is not a great talent, he also has a bit of splendor, and he has the ambition to serve the country. If you hear the news of Your Highness's conquest, it is very likely that you will apply. In addition to asking His Highness for help, the folk girl really didn't know where to go to find her brother. ”

Seeing that the lieutenant didn't speak, Chen Jiaying whispered again, but there was already some earnestness in his voice.

"You can actually go to the capital by yourself, why do you have to go with me?" The lieutenant spoke again, his gaze grim.

"Your Excellency, it's not that the people want to bother your adult. It's just that there are three or four hundred miles from here to the capital, and there are bandits rampant along the way, and if the people go on the road alone, they are afraid that they will be ...... before they reach the capital."

Chen Jiaying didn't finish the last words, but the lieutenant also understood what she meant.

Indeed, she was right. The bandits in this area are so rampant that even hordes of caravans are often robbed and killed, not to mention that he is a cardamom girl walking alone, and he can almost imagine what will happen with his eyes closed.

If her brother really served under His Highness, this favor seemed to be justified.

After a while, the lieutenant said in a deep voice: "Miss Chen, I deeply admire your love for finding your brother thousands of miles away. But at this time, if I can't decide, I will report it to the official to decide. I will explain this to the senior officer in detail. ”

Chen Jiaying's face showed a look of joy, and she also knew that the lieutenant could say these words was the best result.

Therefore, she stood up, bowed to Lieutenant Yingying, and said sincerely: "In any case, the people thank you for your kindness, and you will never forget it." ”

The lieutenant had already promised to help report it, so Chen Jiaying did not stay any longer, and quickly left.

…………

Time flew by, and soon two days passed.

On this day, the sky was overcast, and large dark clouds were gathering and changing in the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain.

All the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade that had eaten breakfast were put on alert according to the positions they had deployed, because this day was the day when the One-Eyed Dragon Bandits came to attack Chenjiazhuang.

The lieutenant stood on top of a platform in Chenjiazhuang where grain was dried, and used his telescope to observe the direction of the road in the distance.

"Are all the sentry posts arranged?" The lieutenant lowered his binoculars and asked in a deep voice without looking back.

"The top soldiers of a squad have been released, and it is the team led by Wei Dayong." The guard behind him immediately replied.

The lieutenant nodded and stopped talking.

If the last time Guo Yanwang's gang attacked, the recruits were still a little nervous. So this time, the recruits are more looking forward to it.

They've gotten through the initial psychological grind and they're starting to enjoy the feeling of the fight.

Moreover, every battle means an opportunity to make meritorious contributions. With military merit, military ranks can be promoted, their military salaries and benefits will also rise, and their families will also get greater glory and benefits because of their promotion.

The lieutenant turned and sat back on a rattan recliner behind him, closing his eyes and thinking.

A group of bandits like chickens and dogs, there is no need to act like a great enemy.

The recruits were full of anticipation, but the veterans all looked indifferent, and many of them also leaned on the battle positions and closed their eyes, obviously not taking the upcoming battle to heart.

Perhaps, it cannot be called a battle at all, and it would be more accurate to call it a one-sided massacre.

At this time, more than 20 miles away from Chenjiazhuang, the men and horses of the One-Eyed Dragon Bandit Gang were marching in a chaotic manner.

Despite being a bandit, the One-Eyed also divided the team into three parts: the Striker, the Midfield, and the Defender.

The striker is the small boss nicknamed "Big Dog" with a full face, the one-eyed dragon leads the Chinese army, and the guard is led by the thin white-faced man "Horse Monkey".

It is also ridiculous to say that the bandits of three to five hundred people also follow the style of the regular army. Among them, there are factors such as the one-eyed dragon pretending to be mysterious, and there are also reasons for his weak heart.

Although he didn't care about the matter of the imperial court's invasion of the court last time, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

And after returning to the cottage last time, he heard that three people were missing, which also made his already nervous heart even more timid.

However, he couldn't reveal this cowardice in the slightest.

He knew too well what virtues his minions had, and if they hadn't been brought together by raiding, these people would have dispersed at the slightest disturbance.

Therefore, he whimically divided the centaur into three parts, and even if there was any accident at that time, he would be able to retain a little strength and not be served in one pot.

There is a distance of two or three miles between the three people.

Although the one-eyed dragon had cowardice in his heart, he was unwilling to give up the fat of Chen Jiazhuang and Chen Laocai's watery daughter.

He thought about it, and after he succeeded this time, he would temporarily close the mountain to avoid the limelight.

The sharp soldiers who were ambushed on both sides of the mountain road also discovered the bandits' arrangement, Wei Dayong frowned, and scolded secretly: "What kind of wolves are a group of earth dogs." ”

scolded and scolded, but he still sent someone to quickly pass the situation back.

"It's actually divided into three ways?" The lieutenant opened his eyes and said with some amusement.

"Put a small squad on hold and let them all in. As soon as the gunshots rang out on my side, they would put their pockets in the back. The lieutenant thought for a moment and ordered in a deep voice.

The herald quickly took the order to leave.

The lieutenant lay on the recliner and thought for a while, and then instructed the guards on the side, "Go and invite Miss Chen, and say that I have something to discuss." ”

Not long after, Chen Jiaying came.

The lieutenant got up and said straight to the point: "Miss Chen, the bandits are not far from here. In order to wipe out this gang of bandits, Miss Chen also needs a favor. ”

Chen Jiaying didn't ask anything, and simply nodded and said, "If the adults have orders, the people will do their best." ”

The lieutenant looked at her with some surprise, and secretly thought that this woman was indeed courageous, and agreed to help without asking anything.

After briefly explaining the matter, the lieutenant added: "If the girl is in trouble, I can think of another way." ”

Chen Jiaying smiled slightly and said: "The adults underestimate the people's daughters, compared to the adults and the soldiers under their command, what the people's daughters do is not worth mentioning." The folk girl waited in the lower courtyard, waiting for the adult's military order at any time. ”

The lieutenant looked at her admiringly, raised his hand and saluted.
