Chapter 369: The bandits are fierce

The lord of Xiling has nothing to do with glass, except for the daughters of the prince and princess in his Ming Li, he also has an illegitimate daughter. This illegitimate daughter is also seventeen or eighteen years old, and it is time to get married. The question is, whether an illegitimate daughter marries well or not, this is a troublesome question. The person who is going to marry is not too high, nor too low, if the status is high, I am afraid that those princes and princesses will not do it, and if the status is low, there will be no way to ensure that this illegitimate daughter has no worries about food and clothing in the future; The talent can't be too high, it can't be too low, the talent is too high, and the future will be in the phase, this illegitimate daughter of his own will become a trouble, she will inevitably be attacked, and her talent is too low, why should you marry the daughter of the dignified Xiling lord to a waste? Anyway, for this matter recently, the lord of Xiling has not been worried less. And at that time, he was in line with Lu Zhen's words, and after he went back, the lord of Xiling moved his brain to this. Come to think of it, if this Lu Zhenzhen really has a good heart and talent, it is estimated that he will be at least a six-department squire or a cadre of a similar level in three or five years, how can he be regarded as the backbone of the imperial court, but he will not insult his illegitimate daughter. However, Lu Zhen has a wife, which is a troublesome thing...... Although the Lord of Xiling felt troublesome, he didn't really want to make up this matter, for him, after all, this was just a less important thing among the many things he needed to worry about recently.

Ye Tao and his party, who were resting in the palace, were very happy, Zhou Rui was originally pretending to be a little servant, and no one noticed that he sneaked out and came back. And when Zhou Rui came back quietly, he also beat a fox in the woods. When he returned to the palace, he saw a large group of people lighting a bonfire on the school field outside the palace, sitting in a circle, listening to Ye Tao tell ghost stories......

Zhou Rui was a little crying and laughing, while contacting and instigating a "bandits" to boldly attack the palace and kidnap the children of the family for threat, while his master had a hot fight with these people who might want to kidnap the tickets when they turned around. It's not just these children of the family, but even the guards and forbidden officers and soldiers who are on guard around them listen to it with relish, and they are full of energy. Although they knew that this was not good, the generals of the forbidden army and the commanders of the guards who were in charge of the safety of the trip did not say anything, in fact, they themselves listened to it seriously.

It was going to be late at night, and it was almost dawn, and the bonfire party had not stopped. There are really a lot of ghost stories in Ye Tao's stomach, all kinds of ghosts, scary and not scary, good ghosts and bad ghosts, male ghosts and female ghosts, and the stories of one night are not the same. Zhou Rui and Liu Yong looked at each other, but then they understood that Ye Tao's use of this method can be regarded as a plot layout, which is not without a small supplement. After the bonfire was finally over, everyone went back to their rooms and fell asleep. It's just that most of the timid daughters have called maids to accompany them in the room this time.

The next day, of course, there could be no activities such as hunting or tea parties, calligraphy and painting parties, and everyone slept all night. It doesn't matter to the soldiers of the forbidden army, these young masters and ladies don't go out, their work is only leisure, but at night, when everyone is full of energy, suddenly strange noises began to come from outside.

Zhu Long, the left commander of the Xiling Forbidden Army, was checking the soldiers and arranging the rotation of posts, when suddenly there was a sound of Suo Suo outside, as if someone was gradually approaching the palace. Zhu Long frowned, and immediately ordered the soldiers to suspend their rest and conduct another round of inspections. The location of the palace is not very good, it is at the mouth of the valley. In this valley, many years ago, it was also a royal garden in the throes of the pavilion, but it was later destroyed by a military disaster. The pavilions and pavilions also slowly disappeared into the mountains and forests, and disappeared. Only the foundation of some white marble that can be encountered occasionally can be seen in the beautiful scenery of the year. At that time, the semi-enclosed environment of this valley allowed a certain emperor of the previous dynasty to lock up a lot of rare birds and beasts, and smelting nature was natural, which was also a wonder in the history of gardening. Over the years, those birds and beasts have multiplied in the valley from generation to generation, and such a large area has been very densely populated by creatures, and the desolation brought by the ruins of those buildings after weathering and peeling, and occasionally some carved stone tablets can be found, and there is no lack of adventure, which is why this royal hunting ground has always existed.

As for the palace, it is located at the only exit from the valley, and it was originally just the gate of the entire huge natural estate bounded by the valley. Back then, the founders of Xiling didn't have time to deal with the many birds and beasts that were enclosed in the valley, and hastily rebuilt the burned gate. Later, the lords of the past dynasties fell in love with this hunting ground, and gradually renovated it into a strange building that can barely be called a "palace" today. But this palace, if it is really the lord of the country who comes to hunt and is stationed everywhere with a large number of forbidden troops, it is safe. It's just that now there are only a few hundred soldiers when the battle is full, plus those guards who don't know whether their strength is good or bad, they can't spread it out, so they can only focus on defense with the miscellaneous servants and guards who were originally stationed in the palace and were responsible for sprinkling and cleaning.

And what is the role of the special battalion? The friendly forces that cooperated with them were also strong, and they really didn't take the Xiling Forbidden Army seriously, and when Zhu Long noticed Suosuo's voice, in fact, most of the "bandits" had already been ambushed in place.

After a day of careful preparation, this time the bandit team was dressed up vividly, and judging from the clothing and weapons, there was very little place to show the horse's feet. Most of the sergeants did not wear armor, but wore open clothes and carried large swords, looking heroic. According to Ye Tao, the more disguised you are, the more careful you have to be. For example, a real Yunzhou official walks in Yunzhou, and it is okay not to wear a uniform all the time, because his identity does not depend on the uniform, and there are many other ways to verify. But camouflage is not good, the only thing that others judge your identity is your dress, words and deeds, these must be in place, so that the other party will not think you are anything else. And Ye Tao and Tan Weixin call this "strong sense of form".

The special battalion has won three of them, and even the military order has been moved to the "bandit" mode. A big-eared man approached Dai Mi's side and asked quietly, "Big boss, do it." ”

Although Dai Mi is also a child of a famous family, he also thinks it is very interesting at this time, he nodded and said: "Pass the order, let the sons and daughters give me it, put the bright spots, don't call the dog to bite." ”

Everyone promised to convey the order, and just as the soldiers sent by Zhu Long approached the place where they were lurking, they suddenly struck.

"Sons, kill, catch those sons and ladies, everyone go back to the village to eat meat~~" Hearing the slogan sent by the wind from afar, Ye Tao, Zhou Rui, and Liu Yong looked at each other. But on the surface, they look very much like that.

Ye Tao cautiously asked the leader of the eunuchs who had been sitting behind the third princess squinting and resting, and said, "Father-in-law...... Outside this is? ”

The eunuch obviously heard the voice as well, and his heart was a little irritable, so he pursed his mouth and motioned to the two little eunuchs beside him to inquire. The young ladies who were present also sent their servants to inquire about the situation. Unexpectedly, not long after, a little eunuch cried and ran into the lobby where they were gathering, crying: "Oh no, a thief has come in and said that he will kidnap us for ransom." ”

What the? Everyone looked at each other, is there such a bold bandit now? "Your Highness, Gonggong Liao, and Commander Qin, the thieves outside are very powerful, and they are almost killed in the stable. Seeing that it's not far from here, what should I do? ”

"What? So quickly beaten to the stable by bandits? Does Zhu Long eat? "That Qin Commander was very angry.

The soldier who came to give the order was unwilling to watch his commander being scolded for no reason, and explained: "Commander Qin, the enemy who came here is really very strong. General Zhu asked me to inform everyone that they should gather together first, and the soldiers and guards should gather to face the enemy, and do not disperse so that the thieves have a chance to take advantage of it. …… Now there is some chaos outside, some thieves have rushed into Zhuangzi, if you really let people plunder one person or two, it will be difficult to explain. ”

Commander Qin was not an unreasonable person, and although he was annoyed, he still waved his hand and ordered everyone to gather. Being able to be called here by the three princesses for an outing, these families and clans are all intimate, and it is at this critical time, everyone is working together to take care of them, and those family guards are all gathered to protect the palace where they are. Even they transferred the precious things they were carrying.

Unexpectedly, although there was resistance outside, the news came worse and worse. Although the number of these thieves is not large, the kung fu under their hands is really tough, and they actually killed the forbidden officers and soldiers without the ability to parry, if it weren't for the fear that the forbidden soldiers would cover each other and line up, I am afraid that they would have been killed at this moment.

"How's that okay?" In the place where these young masters gather, everyone is waiting for someone to take the idea.

The Qin commander's square inch was also a little messy, he turned his head to look at Grandpa Liao, but saw that Grandpa Liao, who had always been naΓ―ve, was even more nervous than him. He looked around, and suddenly remembered that there was a mountain forest behind him, although it was already evening at the moment, but most of the animals in the mountains and forests were relatively gentle, and those tigers and leopards, relying on him and those guards, it was no problem to deal with them. Anyway, there will be no tigers and leopards everywhere.

He was ruthless and said, "Since you can't stay here, let's clean up and walk towards the valley." Although it is a little hard and tiring, as long as you survive this night, you will definitely be able to wait for the rescue early tomorrow morning, and you will be fine by then. ”

When he said this, he could be regarded as taking everyone's attention. Ye Tao only felt that he was in the middle of it, and whispered to Liu Yong: "Uncle Liu, Xin'er will be handed over to you." ”

Liu Yong nodded lightly.
