They did fight this battle beautifully, and almost no damage was there to eliminate these bandits who had been entrenched in the mountains for many years and were the one side of the disaster.

At the same time, when Li Mingyuan was clearing up the bandits' materials, he found evidence of the collusion between these city officials and bandits for many years, returned to the city again, punished these officials, and restored the peace of the local people.

After doing this, the team was ready to set off for Taizhou City. But the three hundred elite soldiers in the team have been exposed, originally Li Mingyuan wanted to kill these bandits and block the news after doing this, but Lin Qingran disagreed, and she also thought of the solution later.

"Why can't you kill it?" Li Mingyuan said.

"You can't fight and kill at every turn, and some of those bandits are not forced, so you can't let them go." Lin Qingran said indignantly: "Moreover, I heard that you promised to let them go on the mountain." ”

"That's expediency, and it can't be taken seriously."

"Aren't you the little marquis? How can you not take it seriously, then what you told me, is it not true! Lin Qingran said angrily.

"You're vexatious!"

"Anyway, you can't kill, although it seems that you have a careful layout, but everything will be a hundred secrets, and the news will spread, and in the end you will have a reputation for brutality, what good do you say to you!" Lin Qingran continued, "And I have also thought of a follow-up solution." ”

"Then you come and listen, if the plan works, I won't kill them." Li Mingyuan said.

"First of all, three hundred elite soldiers, after suppressing the bandits, you can only take another hundred or so to the capital to protect your property, which can be reasonable." She said.

"A hundred? What do you think? ”

Lin Qingran continued: "Listen to me finish speaking! The remaining two hundred or so to assist in dealing with the bandits temporarily stayed in Taizhou, and then when things calmed down, they disguised themselves as traders and entered the capital in batches. In this way, you can not only avoid the eyes and ears of the emperor, but also better hide. ”

"Actually......," she thought for a moment, not knowing whether she should say it or not.

"If you have anything to say, you can't just say it, don't go around in circles." Li Mingyuan doesn't like her to talk halfway.

"I'm just guessing, King Dingbei is not sick." Lin Qingran said what he thought.

"What do you mean by that?" Li Mingyuan was surprised.

"If the emperor does everything possible not to let the news be exposed, why did he release the news himself that King Dingbei is seriously ill? Isn't that a contradiction? Therefore, the king of Dingbei may not be sick, but just an excuse to invite you to the capital, so that you are anxious, make mistakes in your busyness, and then treat your sins. "Maybe there is another possibility that the king of Dingbei has been killed, but Lin Qingran doesn't want to say it, she hopes that it is the former possibility.

"So, you can't kill!" Lin Qingran felt that this reason was still very sufficient.

"You have a point!" Of course, Li Mingyuan hopes so.

"Little Hou Ye, I think Miss Lin is right, this matter still has to be considered in the long run, we also promised those people on the mountain, if we regret it, it will also damage the reputation of the palace." Li Yao said.

Miss Lin! Along the way, it was the first time someone called her that, and Lin Qingran suddenly had a good impression of Li Yao.

"Then let them go, the news will definitely be exposed, and it won't work." Li Mingyuan did not allow any mistakes.

"Then keep it closed, there are cells in the city anyway. But didn't you promise to let them go back, since they can't go back, you can also pick up their relatives to come over to meet them, and give them some silver taels to appease them. When she was imprisoned in Yunzhou, she was able to persevere with the support of Liu's mother, so she knew that the care of her relatives was very important.

"The king of Dingbei is willing to give the prisoner a chance to reform himself, why can't you." Lin Qingran wanted to provoke him.

"Don't use the agitation method, I'll think about it!" Li Mingyuan doesn't like what others tell him to do.

"Okay, you think about it, then I'll go back first." She turned around and went out.

Lin Qingran complained to Shang Jing on the way back to the room,

"This man is a stone in a pit, smelly and hard! A self-righteous look is really hateful! ”

"Don't be angry, he's the Marquis of Xiaodingbei, and it's not a matter of words who he wants to kill. If you contradict him like this, aren't you afraid that he will kill you? Shang Jing said worriedly.

"I'm not afraid of him! If you want to kill, you can kill, anyway, I'm a person alive or dead. "Lin Qingran is fearless now.

"You ......" In fact, Shang Jing wanted to say that she still had him by her side, not alone, but she didn't say it.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'll pay attention next time!" She remembered that she still had a business to protect.

After Lin Qingran left, Li Mingyuan also thought a lot, according to his style in the past, it must be safer to kill them all, but he felt that there might be room for reversal, just like his father's matter.

"Li Hei, Li Yao, you each bring some soldiers, take over the affairs of the city first, and according to what Lin Qingran said, find the relatives of those bandits who can be found, give them some silver taels, and let them meet." Li Mingyuan compromised.

"Yes!" The two replied.

"But these officials and this bandit leader, I still have to take them to Taizhou City and hand them over to the imperial court."

"Li Hei, Li Yao will wait for the matter to be over here, and I will inform you what to do next." He thought for a moment, then said, "...... Chen Chong, wait a minute, I have something for you to do. Li Mingyuan was still a little worried about Lin Qingran's plan.

"Forget it, so be it, the rest of you go down first."

"Yes!"

Except for Chen Chong, after they came out of the room, they began to discuss,

"Miss Lin really has a way! In this way, the little marquis agreed, but I have never seen who the little marquis will compromise with. Li Yao said.

"Cut, I think it's just luck! Xiao Hou Ye didn't want to kill them. Li Hei said.

"You say, will the little marquis like that Lin Qingran?" Liu Wei said.

"I think that's possible." Li Yao said.

"Don't talk nonsense here, be careful of military law!" Li Hei said.

"Let's just talk about it!" Li Yao said.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Liu Wei said.

Liu Wei didn't know when he had a good relationship with Li Yao, Wang Li watched them discuss from the sidelines, and didn't say anything.

Today, they are about to set off on their journey, all the way out of the city, and the people on both sides are warmly farewelled.

"Thank you so much, little marquis!"

"There will be no more bandits after this!"

"The little marquis is really good at eliminating violence and saving the people from fire and water!"

“…………”

After walking all the way and listening to the praise all the way, Li Mingyuan felt a little floating. He has been in Yunzhou City for so many years, and no one has praised him so much, most people are afraid of him to death, and it is too late to see him hide.

"You, don't be too complacent, in this world, except for the emperor, whoever wins the hearts of the people will die first, which is not a good thing." Lin Qingran reminded him, but now ...... Forget it, that's fine.

"That's better than brutality." Li Mingyuan still remembers her saying that he was brutal.

Be careful, don't you just say it casually, and remember it for so long.

Without the bandits, the road is also a lot quieter, the number of people in the team is smaller, and it is more convenient to do things, camping, picking wild fruits, catching fish, and the team is not so rushed.

"Isn't it too sloppy these days?" Li Mingyuan is not very satisfied with the team's itinerary in the past few days.

"Little Marquis, do you want to straighten out military affairs?" Chen Chong said.

"Well...... In this way, later, you gather the team and practice! Li Mingyuan said.

In the evening, the soldiers had their supper, and all but a few of the guards and the money were called to a wide place.

"In the past few days, the team has been too loose, let everyone practice tonight, wrestling in pairs, whoever loses, will have to carry heavy loads on the road tomorrow!" Li Mingyuan said loudly.

Lin Qingran had never seen this formation, and thought it was very interesting, so he also watched from the side.

She coaxed: "That little marquis loses, do you have to carry heavy loads!" ”

The team burst into laughter.

This woman! I didn't look at my rectification of military affairs, but I was laughing at the side of it, it's really difficult for villains and women to raise!

But now, the majesty cannot be lost! "Of course! If I lose, I'll have to carry a heavy load! "Actually, no one usually competes with him.

"Then I'll try!" It was Wang Li who spoke.

Li Mingyuan thought to himself, this kid is usually silent, what's wrong today? But it's hard to ride a tiger, there's no way, let's go.

Wang Li is stunned, don't look at the usual stupidity, don't talk much, fighting and wrestling is very powerful.

The two took off some extra clothes, and everyone immediately vacated a space.

The strength of these two people is about the same, at first the two sides just tried to test it, Li Mingyuan first took advantage of Wang Li's lack of a shovel leg to shovel down Wang Li, Wang Li immediately dodged, and wanted to go around the back to fall down, but it was found that he did not succeed, and the two sides were so anxious.

"Little Hou Ye, come on, Wang Li, don't foul!" Liu Wei cheered on the side.

"Liu Wei, you're too biased, Wang Li, work hard!" Lin Qingran shouted loudly.

Li Mingyuan heard her voice and thought, this Lin Qingran didn't even cheer me on!

Wang Li saw that Li Mingyuan showed a flaw, so he went over and locked his throat, fell, and did it in one go. Before he could react, he fell to the ground.

"Hahaha! Li Mingyuan, don't you usually see that you are very powerful, but you also lost today! Lin Qingran has been suppressed by him for a while, and today he is finally relieved.

What a situation! When did this kid become so powerful.

At this time, Wang Li came over and pulled Li Mingyuan up.

"Wang Li, you must have committed a foul, two wins in three games!" Liu Wei ran over and said.

"Forget it, today I lost, tomorrow I will carry a heavy load on the road" is willing to gamble and lose, as a general of the army, he still has this responsibility.

"See, whoever loses like me will carry a heavy load with me tomorrow! Practice! With that, he took his clothes and left.
