160 Qiongzhou mountain bandits
As soon as he got off the court, Bai Liye was in a hurry to rush home.
Since exchanging hearts with Li Tong, his heart is full of her, if it weren't for making money to support his family, it would be
I don't want to be separated from her for a moment.
He had only been walking for a while when someone stopped him.
"General, are you in such a hurry to go home just after you got an errand?" Li Yinzhi picked his eyes: "You can't come back in three or five months, so you have to have a drink with your subordinates today?" ”
"No time, don't drink, dodge."
Refuse the triple.
"Ah, what are you doing in such a hurry, what's the urgency at home?" Li Yinzhi hung up very cheekily, without the slightest expression of sincerity and fear when the other ministers saw Bai Li Ye.
Bai Li Ye pulled his eldest brother's arm off his neck: "Your sister is my urgent business, get out of the way."
。 ”
After that, he directly raised his hand and threw Li Yinzhi behind him, Biyu dutifully stopped Li Yinzhi, and the two were separated by a long distance in an instant.
"Tsk, that's interesting." Li Yinzhi pulled out the fan in his arms and scratched the back of his neck, his smile was unclear.
There is a group of mountain bandits in Qiongzhou, and I heard that there are more than 100 people, who don't know where they came from, and they do everything to rob their homes, rob houses, rape and plunder, and there is absolutely no lower limit.
Most of the nearby towns and villages have suffered such disasters, and the government has sent people to suppress them, but to no avail, and there have been many injuries.
With the mountains and rivers in the background, this group of bandits has a good grasp of the terrain in the mountains, and has set up a lot of traps in it, some of which are even poisoned.
The prefect of Qiongzhou really had no choice but to go to Shuyicheng for help.
Bai Li Ye took the appointment and had to set off immediately.
As soon as Li Tong returned to the house, the stool was not yet hot, so he waited for the news, and immediately one head and two big, extremely reluctant, but he couldn't help but go.
What an opportunity to build a reputation among the people!
This gang of bandits came at a good time.
But Li Tong was still not very happy.
Pulling Baili Ye's belt, a small mouth is so pouted that he can hang a soy sauce bottle.
"How dangerous!"
Li Tong said softly, and then his eyes lit up: "Why don't you take me with you?" ”
Baili Ye smiled: "You just want to go out and play, don't worry about me at all." ”
"Where? I'm also worried about you, who knows if there are sisters and sisters in Qiongzhou who are more beautiful than me and more understanding than me, you don't think you can come back for three or five months, what's wrong with me worrying? Li Tong was very shameless and played Laipi.
Bai Li Ye pinched her face, she was very affected by these words, although she knew that she said it on purpose, but she still couldn't stop the joy in her heart.
"Okay, go pack your bags."
In the end, I compromised.
In fact, Bai Li Ye also wanted to take her with him in his heart, just to see if she was really willing to let herself go alone, but it turned out that she was right to bet on it, although the reason was a little unsatisfactory, but for Bai Li Ye, she was satisfied.
He has never been a man who craves too much.
The carriage and horse were soon ready, and after the sisters and sisters in the house heard about it, they came out together to give it away, but they were all for Li Tong.
The four girls' families were gathered together, and if they were not at ease, they threw baskets and baskets out, as if they couldn't finish speaking, and the total number of things sent was enough to fill a carriage.
And Bai Li Ye, the person who should have been surrounded and cared for, stood very lonely on the side of the carriage at this time, and his face gradually stiffened.
Biyu: "The general is too miserable. ”
Chiyi: "The general's family status is really embarrassing. ”
Youchun: "Sure enough, the general's mansion is the lady's decision!" ”
Zhu Peipei: "Madame is amazing! ”
"Still can't go?!" Bai Li Ye shouted angrily, and the audience was silent.
Li Tong touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Let's go, let's all go back!" ”
"Be careful!" Cui Qingqing reluctantly let go of Li Tong's hand, glanced at Bai Liye very frightened, and then hid behind Zhou Lan.
Zhou Lan stuffed a talisman into Li Tong's hand: "Don't rush up if you have nothing to do, hide behind the general, and only after saving your life, a man is a floating cloud." ”
Bai Li Ye's breath surged straight up to his head.
Liu Luan'er stopped, and while holding Li Tong's hand, she also stuffed a bottle of something into her palm: "Act calmly and pay attention to safety." ”
Li Tong nodded, and finally pulled Bai Li Ye to jump into the carriage when he was about to break out.
The wheels turned, and he walked slowly, and it didn't take long for him to leave Yicheng.
More than 100 people, marching, silent.
At first, Li Tong looked around with great interest, and after two or three hours, she rolled in the carriage with a sore back.
She began to miss the comfortable cars of modern society.
With no cell phone or tablet, she had to rely on the slow-moving scenery outside the carriage to get through the long journey, but fortunately, the snacks prepared by the sisters were so varied that she could not eat them for several days.
From Yicheng to Qiongzhou, first take the land route, and then take the water route.
It's a bit more painful to travel by land, but when you get on the water, it's comfortable.
Li Tong grew up on the seaside, has a natural love for water, on the boat is equal to living again, Li Tong ran from the bow to the stern, grabbed those crew members and asked questions, just staring at the same water, she couldn't sleep excitedly.
Bai Li Ye didn't expect Li Tong to be so happy, and his dissatisfaction with the departure was completely dissipated.
"There was news from Qiongzhou that the gang of bandits lives in the depths of the Sifang Mountain, and there is a cottage, and the traps, organs, and secret posts under the cottage are very complete, and there must be talents who understand this aspect."
"Kobold Strategist." Li Tong came to a conclusion.
Bai Li Ye smiled: "This is the topographic map of Sifang Mountain sent by Qiongzhou. ”
"They have a topographic map and they fight so badly?" Li Tong looked at him with disdain.
"Qiongzhou has always been a stable city, this Qiongzhou prefect has been in office for more than ten years, and there has been no major incident, this sudden attack by mountain bandits caught him off guard."
"I understand, I didn't raise the soldiers well."
Bai Li Ye nodded.
As a general, he is actually not very satisfied with the approach of the prefect of Qiongzhou, but Qiongzhou has been stable for too long, it is a place of outstanding people, floods, earthquakes and droughts have nothing to do with Qiongzhou, and big bandits and bandits never go over there, not to mention those serious and tragic cases, and it is a big case to have a case that hurts people in Qiongzhou.
The catchers in the government only need to patrol the city all day long, living an ordinary and repetitive life, and they really don't have the heart to train the troops, and the group of mountain bandits are obviously prepared.
"This topographic map is actually an old map, and it doesn't really come in handy when you're in a serious battle."
Li Tong frowned, pinched the topographic map and looked at it over and over, and said coldly: "The prefect of Qiongzhou is not guaranteed for the evening festival!" ”
Bai Li Ye was noncommittal.
Because Li Tong and the others were in the carriage in the early stage, they arrived in Qiongzhou a few days later than the large army.
Biyu led the team and quickly mastered the situation of Sifang Mountain, but he didn't wait for Baili Ye to come, he didn't dare to rashly lead the troops up the mountain, just guarded at the foot of the mountain, and temporarily placed the old and weak women and children outside Qiongzhou City into the city, and the remaining young and middle-aged people were all recruited as temporary soldiers.
There are not enough soldiers and horses in Qiongzhou City, so it is no wonder that those mountain bandits are rampant and domineering after they arrive here.
"General, this is a new topographic map, but it's still not detailed enough, and we won't dare to go any further." Bi Yu presented the redrawn topographic map of Sifang Mountain with both hands, and his expression was grim.
Baili Ye watched quietly, his brows furrowed.
On the other side, after Li Tong got out of the carriage, he took Youchun directly to the mansion.
Lin Youya, the prefect of Qiongzhou, is more than fifty years old this year, although he has gray hair, but his spirit looks quite sufficient, but the infestation of mountain bandits in the past few days has made him seven or eight years old, and he barely showed a smile at Li Tong.
"Pick a few people who are familiar with Sifang Mountain, as well as those who have experience in this mountain bandit attack, to tell me about the specific situation." Li Tong avoided those polite words and came up to the point.
Lin Youya opened his mouth, and finally had to respond.
Several government officials caught quickly, each of them was a little injured, and one was injured on the face, and the bandage had not been removed when he came, and a touch of bright red was dyed on the face, but seeing that the young man walked with his back straight, it didn't look like he was negligent in practice.
Seeing that it was not the general who came, but a woman, several catchers were a little surprised, but out of politeness, they didn't speak first, and then saw that Governor Lin was also sitting quietly on the side and didn't speak, even if they had been comfortable for so long, they knew that this woman was not a character to fool.
"How long have the bandits been here? How many people do you bring with you each time? Which villages and towns are most frequently attacked? I heard that they also kidnapped people, how many people have been taken captive so far? Let's talk about them one by one. ”
The young man with the wound on his face took the lead in standing up and arched his hand: "Mrs. Hui, the total number of mountain bandits on the mountain should be nearly two hundred, and they come together with fifty or sixty people every time, and there is usually a leader, who looks like one of their masters, Xishui Village outside the east of Qiongzhou City has been robbed seven times in the past half a month. ”
The young man paused, glanced at Li Tong with a serious expression, and continued: "So far, thirty-five women, including those in Qiongzhou City, have been taken captive. ”
Li Tong gritted his teeth and frowned.
"Are there any casualties?"
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and the young man did not speak.
Li Tong closed her eyes, feeling the hot temperature coming from her eyelids, she looked up and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Little Huo Tong."
"Huo Tong, I will give you a sum of silver, you bring it to their families, just say that it is an additional pension from the imperial court, thank their children for everything they have done for this, the imperial court will not forget them." Li Tong stood up and gestured to Youchun, she didn't even look at the group of half-grown young men, their desperate way of holding back tears really made people's hearts panic.
Her heart was heavy, and now she wanted to catch a mountain bandit and let her beat her up.
