Chapter 276: The Voice of the Double Dragon Bandits
At this moment, a black light pierced the night sky and struck the arrow of the arrow, and the yellow shadow was in danger, and the two figures went towards the yellow shadow and the black shadow.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, let Mo Cong go and save people. Chen Ruoping dodged to block Hang Xiao, and reached out to shoot down a few feather arrows that were shot.
"They have an ambush, let's go together!" Hang Xiao said casually and continued to chase.
As he spoke, the black shadow had already flashed into a dense forest and disappeared, and Mo Cong, who was chasing after him, also flashed into the dense forest. Hang Xiao and Chen Ruoping swept forward for a while and followed into the dense forest, the canopy and trunks in the dense forest were staggered, the moonlight could illuminate some places, and some places were completely dark, the eyes of the two were flickering and dark, and the direction was very difficult to identify, just listening to the subtle movements in front of them with their ears and chasing after them.
After chasing for a while, Chen Ruoping and Hang Xiao suddenly felt a little dizzy, not to mention chasing, there were signs of fainting immediately. As they stopped, the slight movement in front of them grew farther and farther away, and finally all disappeared, and the dense forest became silent. Chen Ruoping took advantage of the fact that he had not fainted and hurriedly helped Hang Xiao to walk outside the forest, so as not to be poisoned more and more. The two of them had just walked out of the forest with difficulty, and the Yulinwei masters behind them also chased after them, and when they saw the two of them in a dazed state, they hurried over to protect them.
"You send a few people to search the dense forests on both sides of the road northeast of the camp and along the way, they have ambushed archers, pay attention to safety. Hang Xiao felt a little better after taking the antidote prepared by the imperial doctor that Master Yulinwei carried with him, and ordered several masters of Yulinwei to go and inspect it immediately. The masters of Yulin Wei divided three or five to inspect, and the rest stayed here to escort.
As soon as a few Yulinwei masters left, a rustling sound sounded in the dense forest, and it didn't take much effort Mo Congheng to carry Hang Rui out of the forest and join everyone in one place.
"What about the assassin?" asked Hang Xiao.
"The assassin ran and ran, and suddenly threw the princess on the ground, and ran around and around, and I was afraid that the princess would have an accident, so I rescued the princess first. Mo Cong said.
"You're not poisoned?" Chen Ruoping was surprised.
"No, I don't. Mo Cong said.
"Have you ever drunk some holy medicine from the Five Poisons Sect, and then you are invincible?" Hang Xiao asked.
"Your Majesty. Mo Cong said.
A few people were talking and Hang Rui was also awakened with an antidote. The Yu Linwei of the brigade had already rushed over on horseback, Hang Xiao, Hangrui, Chen Ruoping, and Mo Cong each rode a horse back to the Yulinwei camp, and the Yulinwei Brigade was divided into two to escort the search.
When he arrived at the Yulinwei camp, Hang Rui had just changed from a state of confusion to a state of fear, and his face turned pale with fright when he heard Hang Xiao talk about what had happened.
"Let's see if you dare to run around in anger in the future, this is Shuanglong Mountain, a place where horse thieves are rampant, if it weren't for Ruoping and Mo Cong today, not only would you be taken away by horse thieves, but I would also suffer. Hang Xiao sighed and reprimanded Hang Rui. "That's right. Why did you two suddenly appear in that place?" he turned to Mo Cong and Chen Ruoping.
"Mo Cong asked me about the position of deputy commander, and we had dinner and discussed around the camp while checking the situation of the encirclement, and when we heard that there was movement there, we passed. Chen Ruoping explained.
"You have a meritorious escort and take care of Rui'er's innocence, both of which are not small, how should I reward you?" Hang Xiao said thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty and Princess Jiren have their own natural appearances, we are just catching up, and besides, escorting is the duty of a courtier, so there is no need for rewards. Chen Ruoping said.
Mo Cong also said that Hang Xiao had rewarded him enough. You don't need to be rewarded, and you will do your duty to repay the emperor's kindness.
"No, no, no, my safety and Rui'er's safety are things that can be solved in one sentence, the common people know that saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and of course I must reward it according to the standard of seventh-level floating slaughter or above. But now I don't have anything else at hand, so I'll reward each of you with 1,000 taels of gold first, and I'll make up for the other rewards when I return to Beijing. Hang Xiao said and instructed Officer Yu Linwei to bring in two thousand taels of gold.
Officer Yu Linwei bowed down and went out, and his strength was not much to turn back. whispered something in Hang Xiao's ear. Mo Cong and Chen Ruoping both had extremely spiritual voices, and when they heard it, they seemed to be saying that the gold was gone.
"Those horse thieves are still playing tricks on the tiger from the mountain, it's so cunning. Hang Xiao said and sighed and looked at the two. "When we were chasing that man, the horse thief took advantage of the best in the camp and secretly stole all the gold, and now... Only after returning to Beijing did he make up all the rewards. ”
Mo Cong and Chen Ruoping didn't know what to say, so they had to say that some young ladies from big families called themselves Miss Qianjin, and Princess Hangrui's safety was naturally better than all the gold in the world, as long as the princess was safe and sound, the gold would be recovered sooner or later.
A few people talked in the camp tent again, Mo Cong and Chen Ruoping got up to say goodbye, and the two went back to the Central Army camp together, and then Mo Cong rode back to the Feilong camp.
In the small courtyard of the mountain residence in the northwest of the Feilong camp, Mo Min had already purchased a lot of things with the four maid rings, and made a simple dinner on the mountain, they couldn't wait for Mo Cong to come back, so they had to eat first, and after eating, they drank tea in the courtyard and enjoyed the tranquility of the mountain residence. waited until almost midnight, Mo Cong finally went up the mountain, Mo Min asked why it took so long to come, Mo Cong briefly told what had happened, and Mo Min was also surprised when he heard it.
"You saved Princess Hang Rui, what if she gets more entangled with you?" Mo Min asked worriedly.
The emperor also saw this meaning, so now he is considering marrying the princess to He Ming, although the princess is rude, she still listens to the emperor's words, so it should be fine. Mo Cong said.
The two talked, Mo Cong ordered the four sleeping holes of the maid ring to let them sleep quietly, and then got up with Mo Min and went to the place where Xiaomei and the others lived. Xiaomei Xiaoyue and the others saw that Mo Cong and Mo Min were coming together, and they all gathered around them to talk, and Mo Min saw that the maids didn't hate themselves, so they let go of their hearts a little.
"I still like to stay with you, now the maids in Mofu don't seem to have a sense of familiarity and intimacy, and there is always a little bit of life, especially after what happened last time. Mo Min sighed and said, "It's all your young master's fault, you have to let me pretend to be a Hedong lion's roar, so that everyone sees me like a tiger." ”
"Young grandma, we sleep with the young master, you don't blame us, do you?" asked Xiaoting.
"To be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable. But who brought everyone together by accident. Mo Min said.
"We just occupy a little bit of the young master's time, and most of the time the young master still accompanies the young grandmother to think about the young grandmother, so the young grandmother must not be angry because of our affairs. Xiaomei said.
Everyone talked about the conversation and talked about the old days, went up the mountain to see the bird base and other facilities, and then Mo Cong and Mo Min went down the mountain and went back to the small courtyard over there.
In the next few days, Mo Cong trained the recruits every day, sometimes spent the night in the camp and sometimes spent the night in the mountains, when they were in the camp, the Yahuans came down to receive various camp training, and when they were on the mountain, the Yahuans were divided into two groups to guard things and steal things. The progress of the girls' practice is very fast, and Xiaomei Xiaolan and Xiaoyue have already broken through the sixth layer realm and entered the seventh layer realm. Xiaowan Xiaoting is also on the verge of breaking through, and the other maid rings are not far behind.
The bandit suppression operation in Shuanglong Mountain has been going on for a while, and because Mo Cong was busy with things here, he didn't pay attention to the progress of the bandits, but Mo Cong still occasionally took advantage of the night to see Ding Xiaolong and Ding Xiaofeng to see what state they were in over there. The two of them now have complete belief in Mo Cong and believe very much, after all, this anti-encirclement and suppression operation would not have been able to have such a big victory if they only relied on them, the bandits had suppressed for so many days, killed a gendarmerie commander, a deputy gendarmerie commander, captured so many people, earned so much gold, and they were not even exposed, they had never dreamed of fighting like this before.
"Isn't the cooperation on our side still starting?" Ding Xiaofeng felt that Shuanglong Mountain had opened here, and it was necessary to let other places move to open their doors.
"We will either not move or destroy Zhao Rong's power in Rui in one fell swoop. This kind of thing can't be rushed, and many things need to be explored slowly, such as who is Zhao Rong's power and where they store their silver. Only when you have all these things clear can you do it. Otherwise, once they are caught on guard, it will be difficult for us to carry out the operation here. Mo Cong said.
"I'm really curious, who are you, and what kind of hatred do you have with Zhao Rong. Why do you want to deal with him as deliberately as we do?" asked Ding Xiaofeng.
"I'm a native of Rui, and I can't get used to Zhao Rong's rampant domineering and all kinds of evil deeds, that's it. Mo Cong said.
"You're not in it for the silver?" Ding Xiaolong asked.
"Speaking of which, let's make a gentleman's agreement. In the future, we will divide the silver obtained after the successful operation, you take a part of you, I will take a part, and the part you should take is the silver that the court owes you for many years, such as military salaries, rewards, etc., plus appropriate interest, and I will take the rest for other purposes. Mo Cong said.
"This... What Zhao Rong owes us is not only the military salary reward for many years, but we have smashed it in his hands for the rest of our lives, if it is calculated like this, how much silver will it get. Ding Xiaofeng sighed.
"My sister means... A few years' salary is just a drop in the bucket for us, after all, we have so many people to survive for so many years, so it may not be enough to give us all the silver, of course, Your Excellency's idea is also fair and reasonable, so I think it is acceptable. Ding Xiaolong said.
"When the time comes, depending on the situation, if you have more money, you will take more, and if you have less money, you will take less. In fact, the silver is not about how much, the key is how to use it. For example, at present, the more than 400,000 taels of silver are spread to more than 80,000 people, which is more than five taels per person, which is indeed a drop in the bucket, but it is a huge amount of money when concentrated. In the future, you will definitely get more money from your actions, and the bigger your business gets, the more people you can feed, so it is better than if you have been a horse thief. Mo Cong said.
"It's okay for us people to fight, it's really not that kind of material to do business, and if you don't do it, you will lose it in less than a year. Ding Xiaolong said embarrassedly.
"Not necessarily, there are hundreds of people of all kinds, and there are more than 80,000 of you, and there may not be no talents in business. Mo Cong said.
"But we don't even have a normal identity, how can we do business?" Ding Xiaofeng asked.
"When the time comes, just fake an identity, this is actually quite simple. Mo Cong said.
"I'm still not interested in this, I still like to be a horse thief, I still like to stay in the mountains and be free, I see or hear about people who are rich and unkind, I go out and grab a handful, I think this kind of life is more suitable for me. Ding Xiaofeng shook his head.
"Well, everyone has their own aspirations, so do whatever you want. Mo Cong said. (To be continued......)
