() The cool breeze swept through the ends of his hair, blowing the deep thoughts between Bai Rong's eyebrows slightly apart, but they fell silently in Gu Ziyuan's eyes, he walked to her side and stood side by side with her: "What are you thinking?" ”

His voice has always been quiet and wrapped in a bit of refreshing tenderness, and if you don't catch it, you will miss it.

Bai Rong looked at the lights under the city, sighed lightly, and said, "In a few days, I will go up the mountain to suppress bandits, but I thought of something that has been neglected. ”

Gu Ziyuan didn't speak, he listened quietly, his bright eyes staring at her side face.

Bai Rong said in a low voice: "Although those bandits have done a lot of things to oppress the people, they are not here to live, but they have gone the wrong way, they may still have their own families, or maybe they have gathered into bandits because they are desperate." ”

Their choice is not a ghost at the end of the road. Bai Rong has always believed that human nature is inherently good, but along the way, so many changes, life or death, reunion or parting, who can always be good and as desired.

sighed and was stunned, and began to be at a loss, and began to be unable to distinguish between right and wrong in what he was doing.

Sometimes she wonders if she is not, and shouldn't be, so sentimental.

Gu Ziyuan heard a trace of confusion and self-blame from her voice, and his heart stabbed suddenly, overflowing with distress.

This girl who has always been shining on the tip of his heart has always been just an ordinary woman, she can be brave and fearless to flee with him, or she can resolutely lead by example in training and training, but she will also have times when she is vulnerable and helpless.

However, when he thought that she would only show this side of herself to him alone, Gu Ziyuan couldn't help but feel happy.

He said calmly: "Everyone in this world, whether good or evil, right or wrong, most of them are in order to go on, but wrong is wrong, only punishment can give the people an explanation, and only then can the bandits wake up." ”

After a pause, he pursed the corners of his mouth: "But ......"

"But what?" Bai Rong asked.

Gu Ziyuan said pertinently: "No matter how evil the bandits are, they are also human beings, and when the day of the bandits, I will order the officers and soldiers to capture the bandits alive as much as possible, even if it is not a pity for the bandits to die in the eyes of others, but the mistakes they have committed are far from enough to appease people's hearts by repaying them with death." ”

"Yes." Bai Rong seemed to have unloaded something heavy, she felt that even breathing was much lighter, and the corners of her mouth showed the beginning of the rain

Ji smiled brightly: "Huh, it's so much better to tell you, thank you, Ziyuan, you can always help me eliminate my troubles." ”

As long as you want, I can be by your side for the rest of your life and let all your troubles disappear.

Of course, Gu Ziyuan didn't dare to say this, probably the most unconfident thing in his life was to pursue a woman like Bai Rong, he wanted to strategize, but even if he was in charge of every step, as long as he faced her, he would always be like a great enemy, vulnerable.

Inadvertently, she could easily crush his military spirit.

After sighing in his heart, Gu Ziyuan smiled back as usual: "As long as you want, you can come to me at any time, and I can solve the trouble for you at any time." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and saw that the bright sparks below were shattering, and the whole city and county were about to fall asleep, so they went back to their residences to rest.

The day of suppressing bandits is coming as scheduled, except for the guards guarding the city gate and the county command, all the other officers and soldiers will participate in the anti-bandit operation, although there are only a few hundred people, but after all, it is only a small county town, and it is already the largest number of troops that can be gathered at present.

Put on your armor, line up outside the city gates, and get ready to go.

The common people had never seen such a scene, and they gathered around to see it, this was the first time they saw that the soldiers of this county town could also have such a high-spirited and majestic appearance, which was really dumbfounded.

"These, are these all soldiers from our county, haven't I woken up today?"

"Hey, if we really had this momentum, would it be our turn to be bullied by those bandits?"

The common people below were full of discussions, mostly cynicism, and the soldiers were red-faced and ashamed, after all, they really couldn't defeat the bandits in the first place.

At this time, a loud voice sounded in the crowd: "Is this going to suppress bandits?" I'll go too, add me one! ”

Everyone looked along and found that it was an unkempt gray-clothed beggar with a straight back and sharp eyes, who was the one who was not afraid of official authority and confronted all the crimes of the county order.

Hearing this, several ordinary people also raised their hands and wanted to join: "I'm going too, those bandits robbed us of our food and forced us to disperse, I want revenge!" ”

Seeing that everyone was enthusiastic, Gu Ziyuan stepped forward and said: "It's okay to go if you want, but I ordered in the name of the prince to order you to try your best to capture the bandits alive, unless the bandits fight back."

As a last resort, they must not be killed at will. ”

The citizens of the prefecture could not understand it, and a controversy broke out.

"Why is that? He hasn't hurt us enough to let them go easily! ”

"Yes, it's not fair why these wicked people can continue to live."

Gu Ziyuan looked at everyone calmly: "I know you have hatred in your hearts, but killing people is not a reason for you to vent your anger, killing them, your family and money will not return to you, right?" ”

Silenced, they could not refute it, indeed, they had something to lose, and no matter what they did, they could not get it back.

Some people were not quite reconciled and asked: "What should the bandits do?" You have to make it clear to us that we can't be ambiguous, otherwise we won't be convinced. ”

Bai Rong explained to the people on behalf of Gu Ziyuan: "These bandits will be sent to the dungeon of the capital and punished for their crimes, they all have to bear the punishment of crimes, there is no doubt about this, Your Highness will definitely give an explanation to everyone." ”

As soon as these words came out, the common people were able to dissipate their anger, and they were relieved to hear that the bandits would be arrested in the capital, not only because the wicked people were far away from them, but also because of the awe in their hearts for the capital.

Gu Ziyuan said again: "If someone is found to have violated my orders, and I will personally judge and punish them, His Highness will not say anything lightly." ”

Many county citizens have been recruited into the army, and Gu Ziyuan will let others wear the extra equipment, which is really not enough, so he can only refuse some people who look thinner, after all, he has to ensure the safety of most people, and he can't rashly let people go up the mountain to suppress bandits.

Before going up the mountain, they still need to divide into several routes, and when the beggar heard this, he took the initiative to ask for help.

"I know that there is a very hidden road, which can go around the bandits' lair from behind, although this road is a bit dangerous, but it is better to avoid being discovered by the bandits than frontal encirclement."

"How do you know so well?" Bai Rong was a little surprised.

The beggar was a little more smug in his tone: "I used to go up to the mountains to hunt and chop wood, and I knew the road as soon as I came and went. ”

Bai Rong nodded, pondering how to squat down, moistening the well water with soil, and actually began to pinch out something, she said: "You tell me in detail, what do you know about the terrain of the whole mountain, and how much can you say." ”
