"Hahahaha, Lord Shen is really joking......" The soldier next to him laughed dryly.

Marriott also sneered, "Stop playing tricks on me, sinister villain."

"Hurry up and release them, don't you understand?" Shen Yunfan said impatiently.

Hu Chun's face was full of strangeness, and he asked, "Lord Shen, are you not kidding?"

"Of course, let them go."

"This ......" Hu Chun couldn't understand, but he didn't dare to disobey Shangguan's order, so he could only wave his hand and say, "Release people!"

Only then did the soldiers retreat, and Marriott stared at Shen Yunfan, his eyes full of surprise. He really couldn't understand why Shen Yunfan wanted to let go of himself.

"Since you are not convinced, then I will not arrest you, you can go." Shen Yunfan waved his hand.

Marriott was still vigilant when he heard this, first slowly retreated, retreated to a safe distance, and then turned around and ran, and it didn't take long for him to run back into the mountains and forests.

Seeing this, everyone sighed and said in unison, "This is the return of the tiger to the mountain!"

Zheng Wanyi looked dissatisfied, and asked in a low voice, "I finally caught him, why did you let him go?"

Shen Yunfan didn't answer, but just said in a roundabout way, "The princess is so smart, she should be able to understand."

When Zheng Wanyi heard this, she frowned and fell into thought.

Now that Marriott has been let go, morale in the army is very low. Even General Hu Chun was very dissatisfied with this matter. The results that everyone has achieved with great difficulty, how can they say that they will be released?

Seeing this, Shen Yunfan shouted, "Anyone who participates in the battle tonight can go and receive ten taels of silver!"

Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men, and with the reward, the soldiers are really happy.

Shen Yunfan then arranged, "You continue to go to the ambush place tonight, hide, and don't make a sound!"

"Huh? The barbarians have retreated, is it necessary for us to continue the ambush?" Hu Chun was puzzled.

"Do it."

"Yes." Hu Chun scratched his head, so he had to beckon everyone to go back to the ambush site together.

……

In the mountains and forests, the embarrassed Marriott returned to the small city and almost cut down Wang Tong on the spot.

However, Wang Tong is very good at playing tricks, saving his life after a few words, and even continues to be Marriott's military advisor.

"Brother Wan, that kid dares to let you come back, it's really arrogant! We're going to kill him tonight, and we're going to kill him!"

"Good!" Marriott also felt that this plan made sense, so he agreed, and organized a thousand people according to Wang Tong's words, and set off in the second half of the night.

This time, Wang Tong is full of confidence.

Although he was ambushed not long ago, he has been reading military books since he was a child, but he didn't take a single Shen Yunfan in his eyes! This return to the horse pistol is a strange move, and he thinks that Shen Yunfan will never expect it!

The group returned the same way, almost following the previous template, and charged condescendingly again.

As a result, Marriott led the talent to run a mile out, and suddenly there was a sound of rushing and killing around, and thousands of Jiaozhou troops rushed out and fought with them.

This scene of being ambushed is exactly the same as before!

On the mountain, Wang Tong was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

"Damn, don't the Jiaozhou Army sleep at night?"

No matter how much he complained, the barbarian army was naturally defeated on the spot in the face of an enemy several times his size, and Marriott was caught again.

Shen Yunfan yawned, came out of the house and smiled, "Yo, you're back so soon?"

"Despicable villain!" Marriott is still the same as before, scolding.

"Still not convinced?"

"You don't dare to confront me, of course I won't accept it! I will never accept it, and I will not accept it in the next life!" Marriott was so angry that his muscles burst out.

"Okay, then you can go." Shen Yunfan waved his hand, "Release people."

"Again?" The soldiers looked at each other, wondering if this messenger was playing tricks on them.

"Everyone stayed up all night, but it wasn't for the sake of the house." Someone complained.

Shen Yunfan said lightly: "One person will be rewarded with twenty taels."

"Release people, release people!" All the soldiers changed their faces in an instant, and their faces were full of uncontrollable smiles. After all, who can't get along with money?

Shen Yunfan thought to himself, fortunately, the day before yesterday the bandits got a lot of money, otherwise they wouldn't have been rewarded yet.

When Marriott fled in embarrassment, he beckoned the soldiers to go back to rest, and he went back to sleep.

This time, until dawn, no barbarians dared to invade, and they were obviously afraid of being ambushed.

But early in the morning, the people in the county chewed their tongues about the events of last night.

"I heard that Lord Qincha caught the barbarian leader twice last night, and he was released back as a result!"

"Huh? Why don't you kill the barbarian leader?"

"Who knows? Let the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles!"

When everyone was puzzled, a young man with a crepe came out and said seriously, "I know why."

This person is Lu Xiucai from Linxi County, who is considered a top diploma in the county, at least much better than the illiterate in the county.

The people looked at him and asked, "Why?"

"It's easy." A mocking smile appeared on Lu Xiucai's face, "Qin sent to Jiaozhou to come here for merit. If he flattens the barbarians at once, then his errand will be over, and he will have to return to the capital."

"However, if he can drag the barbarian people without killing, and let the scourge of the barbarians hang over Jiaozhou's head all the time, he can always stay in Jiaozhou as this messenger and deal with the disaster."

"The longer he stays, the greater his military prowess will be. Now, do you understand?" Lu Xiucai sneered, his tone full of disdain for Shen Yunfan.

Everyone suddenly came to their senses and was filled with righteous indignation, "For the sake of our own selfish interests, we are constantly threatened by the barbarians, this kind of person is really selfish!"

"That's right, it's too much!"

"Be quiet, don't let anyone hear you."

"It's going to be heard, it's going to be killed!"

In the dark, Zheng Wanyi listened to everyone's discussions, her expression flickering.

"After a long time, the surname Shen turned out to be this calculation. He's just like Zheng Guo's old foxes, he's a selfish and corrupt official, and I really think highly of him......
