Chapter 167: Successfully Undercover

Huai Enhou was sent by the emperor to suppress bandits, this matter is not secret, a little inquiry knows that Wen Qiao, as a general, is naturally involved.

Zhao Qingyan naturally knew what Huai Enhou meant by what he said to him, suddenly, there was a battle report from the front, there were mountain bandits to attack, Huai Enhou immediately packed up his things, let people lead the troops to meet the battle first, and he would arrive in a while.

Zhao Qingyan wanted to ask Huai Enhou if he needed help.

Although she is soft-spoken, she may be able to take into account some small things, but they are rough men who are different from women after all, and some small things may not be taken into account.

On weekdays, Wen Qiao takes care of her, even the restaurant can only open smoothly with his protection, and now that Wen Qiao is not there, she tries to help as much as she can if she can.

"Father-in-law, do you need my help with this bandit?"

Huai Enhou still has a good impression of Zhao Qingyan, because some of the incidents tossed by Mrs. Cheng also made him pay attention to Zhao Qingyan.

Honest and refreshing, dignified, filial piety and not careful, the daughter-in-law that the old lady chose for Wen Qiao is good, although he was not very good to her before, she didn't take it to heart, and now she also asks if she needs help, which makes Huai Enhou feel that his daughter-in-law is very good.

"You have a heart, this time the suppression of bandits in the court and the Hou Mansion have been arranged, you don't need help at the moment, you can go back to the military tent and rest first."

Huai Enhou didn't expect his daughter-in-law to want to help, but the imperial court attached great importance to this crackdown on bandits, and some things were handled by the imperial court, and small things Wen Qiao and other generals had already arranged.

Zhao Qingyan didn't insist on getting this answer, although Huai Enhou arranged for her to have a good rest, but it was obviously impossible.

Wen Qiao set off first, but she couldn't be contacted so far, she didn't know where to go, she wanted to see where Wen Qiao was.

On the day of the march, Zhao Qingyan dressed up and secretly followed behind the bandit army.

This is also Zhao Qingyan's intuitive feeling of the heroic righteousness of the soldiers, which is not comparable to the general momentum.

All of them are in iron armor and fully equipped, and it can be seen that they are very well prepared to suppress the bandits.

Zhao Qingyan was wearing a man's military uniform, and she was short, although the people around her felt strange and looked at her, but the generals and others in front did not notice it.

The place where the bandits are located is a place with dense mountains, not high but many, and there are many trees on the mountain, which are lush and green, just enough to block the inspection of those who come down from the mountain.

I have to say that the bandits inside are very smart, and if they choose such a good place, if they want to attack the mountain, they must consider the geographical environment here.

Halfway through the road, there was the sound of armor rubbing along the way, and at this time, there was a small commotion in front of me.

Immediately, I heard someone shouting in a loud voice: "What's going on ahead?" ”

"The road ahead was blocked by bandits."

As soon as the news spread, it immediately reached the ears of all the soldiers present, and the inevitable soldiers began to be restless.

Soldier A: "Kill these beasts."

Soldier B: "Kill them, how many innocent people have they killed?"

Soldier C: "This group of things that are not human, today, let Lao Tzu do the right thing for heaven."

The soldiers were excited, and they heard that there were bandits who wanted to come forward and show their skills.

Zhao Qingyan also heard it, and she stood to the side. I couldn't help but look up at the bandits.

There are a lot of bandits on the opposite side, and the black oppresses a group of people, they are dressed casually, standing on the road, and they are not as heroic and righteous as these soldiers, but like a group of rabble, picking their feet.

Faintly, Zhao Qingyan seemed to see Wen Qiao among the bandits.

After all, they have been together for a long time, and Wen Qiao has a special temperament that people can't ignore. Although he couldn't see his original appearance, Zhao Qingyan felt that there was an eighty percent chance that it was Wen Qiao.

But I saw that the man raised his hand to this side and made an incomprehensible gesture.

People on both sides were clamoring to fight, especially the group of bandits, using both hands and feet, so Wen Qiao's action was not too eye-catching.

At this time, the voice of the leading generals in the front came from the army, demanding to retreat.

This news immediately made the people below mutter, not understanding why Huai Enhou did this, but the military order could not be violated, and everyone was puzzled and still did it.

The bandits did not come forward to chase and fight, it should be said that they were also stopped, they stood in place, gritted their teeth, and the original provocative words turned into ridicule, which made the morale of the generals of the imperial court red.

Zhao Qingyan followed behind without speaking, thinking silently, she obviously saw what instructions the person opposite gave to Huai Enhou.

It stands to reason that now the morale is high, and it is precisely the time to go forward and fight, regardless of winning or losing, the morale must come up, but Hou Ye ordered to retreat.

This can easily cause the soldiers to lose morale and lose confidence. Unless Wyn Hou is sure that he can win and get rid of the bandits.

Zhao Qingyan suddenly thought of the man who looked like Wen Qiao, now it seems that it is Wen Qiao, he went to the bandits' den to be an undercover agent, and the gesture just now was a signal to Huai Enhou.

Zhao Qingyan had to sigh at Wen Qiao's wit, he didn't expect that in just these days, Wen Qiao would be able to successfully blend into the bandits, and also get useful news.

Knowing Wen Qiao's location, Zhao Qingyan relaxed slightly, but after all, she went to a bandit's den, and she was still worried that if Wen Qiao's identity was exposed, wouldn't it be miserable.

Zhao Qingyan worriedly followed the army towards the place where he had chosen to set up camp before.

The people who accompanied her saw her like this, and thought that she was annoyed by the order given by the boss today, although this person is small, but he has a hot-blooded heart, and the people who originally looked at her were not pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Qingyan didn't know what other people thought, even if she knew, she wouldn't pay attention to it, these people were safe and secure, it was not a bad thing after all.

On the bandits' side, they are all exaggerated and unkempt, and they are indeed a team composed of a group of rabble, but the strength of this group of rabble should not be underestimated.

The bandits were all militants and were very defensive. The imperial court sent people to suppress the bandits, and they had already heard the rumors, and Wen Qiao finally got in, and it took a lot of effort to get others to accept him.

After deploying in the camp for several days, the plan was successful, and he happened to meet Wynhou, who happened to tell him the signal.

Because Wen Qiao's position was a bit off, and Zhao Qingyan was standing at the end, the distance was too far, and he didn't see Zhao Qingyan, Wen Qiao missed it perfectly.

Wen Qiao refocused his attention on the group of bandits and learned the same movements as them.

Bandit A: "I really didn't expect this old man to run away." ”

Bandit B: "I thought I could have a good fight." ”

Bandit C: "Phew, this group of turtle kings and eight lambs actually ran away cowardly, disturbing Lao Tzu's interest." ”

Wen Qiao was silent and didn't speak, some people just echoed the "um" when they asked, and some people were unhappy with his attitude, but they were stopped by others on the grounds that the enemy should not cause trouble at present.
