"Set up camp at the foot of the mountain today, and continue on your journey tomorrow." Ji Ruxuan wrapped the long knife, hung it back on his waist, bent down to pick her up, and walked towards the carriage, "It's windy outside, and the smell of blood here is too strong, I'll send you down the mountain first." ”

Jiang Fuguang leaned on his chest and experienced a fight, and he did not have blood on his body, which was very reassuring.

The tent had already been set up at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Fuguang briefly freshened up, ate something, and waited until evening, when Lieutenant Wu finally sent someone down to report the situation in the mountain.

Jiang Fuguang read the confession of the interrogation.

The poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, the southwest area is not under the rule of the Southern Dynasty, the barbarians are entrenched, like the three edicts, dependent on the rule of the Southern Dynasty, and there are also like these mountain bandits who occupy the mountains as kings, lawless, the prestige of the eldest princess of the Southern Dynasty, the barbarians will not be in their eyes.

This is also the reason why bandits are rampant in the southwest.

The blood wind village is the king of the mountain near this piece of mountain, the scale reaches as many as 700 people, in addition to more than 430 people who went down the mountain to rob the road, there are more than 200 people left in the village, the bandits in the village are cruel and murderous, rape and 0 lewd and plunder, all evil.

According to the bandits' confession, about five days ago, a group of mysterious people brought a box of gold and silver treasures to buy the Blood Wind Village and kill the eldest princess.

The big boss originally had some scruples, but the other party gave too much, and told the big boss that the South Vietnamese country had sent troops to the Southern Dynasty, and the Qi family army was divided into the southwest, and it was inevitable that the troops would be insufficient and difficult to resist, and the Qi family would soon be finished.

In addition, Yun China is ambitious, wants to unify the southwest, the imperial court is staggered, and it can't take care of the life or death of the eldest princess at all, as long as they finish this vote, hide in the 100,000-mile mountain, change the mountain, change the face, and the Southern Dynasty has no way to take them.

Xuefeng Village is the strongest bandit village in the southwest, and it has always been invincible, and it is inevitable that it will be arrogant, so it agreed to this deal, and ambushed it in the mountains two days in advance, planning to attack with bows and arrows, take away a wave of people first, and then occupy the crowd to solve the remaining guards.

Who knows, the guards are wearing the most sophisticated armor, and they are not afraid of ordinary bows and arrows at all, and they didn't expect that the guards of the Imperial City Division were all experienced in a hundred battles, and the two sides fought each other, and they were served by someone, and they didn't even have a chance to escape.

It is really sad for those who see it, and tears for those who hear it.

The mysterious person who bought the blood wind village did not reveal his identity, Lieutenant Wu interrogated all the living mouths, and did not find a trace of clues, a hammer of business, Wufeng Village received money, just do things, who cares what the identity of the other party is.

As for the buyers, they should not know much about the southwest area, but they only know that the Blood Wind Village is the strongest bandit village on the way to the southwest, and they have robbed and killed people for many years, and they have never missed, and they have also overestimated the strength of the Blood Wind Village.

In this way, the person who bought the bandits should be in the capital.

Jiang Fuguang read the confession again, there was nothing valuable, although he had expected it in his heart, he was still a little disappointed.

"How's the situation in the mountains?"

The guard who came to report said: "Lieutenant Wu took a hundred people into the mountain to clear the remnants of the Blood Wind Village, and Lord Jun Xuan is responsible for guarding and guarding the safety of the eldest princess." ”

The Imperial City Division didn't know the identity of Ji Ruxuan's "shadow secret guard", but he was the eldest princess's personal guard, and he won the trust of the eldest princess, so he naturally respected him very much.

The guard continued: "Lieutenant Wu wants to wash the bloody wind village. ”

Since he dared to attack the eldest princess, there was no reason to let it go.

In the southwest, bandits are rampant, although the Imperial City Division is not afraid, but in order not to disturb the eldest princess, the trip has been delayed, and there can be no ambiguity in dealing with the blood wind village.

Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come.

Jiang Fuguang bowed: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Lieutenant Wu washed blood in the bloody village, arrested the women and children in the village, identified each other, and killed all evildoers, and did not return to the camp until dawn.

In the open space of the camp, there was a pile of property that had been looted and accumulated by the Blood Wind Village over the years, as well as more than 20 women and innocent young sons who had been abducted by the Blood Wind Village.

Lieutenant Wu reported the situation in the village, and Jiang Fuguang looked at the more than 20 people who were kneeling down, all of whom were ordinary people of the Southern Dynasty.

She frowned: "Count the confiscated property, find out if there are any account books, and return the property that should belong to them as appropriate." ”

As soon as these words came out, there were cries of grief from the crowd, but the cries seemed suppressed and desperate for fear of bumping into the eldest princess.

Jiang Fuguang couldn't bear it in his heart, and ordered a few guards from the eldest princess's mansion: "Ask where the household registration is, you can take a trip, send them to Lingnan first, ask the local government to come forward, help them return to their hometown, and in the name of loneliness, give their household registration to the local government where they are registered, and let the local government settle them." ”

The group was immediately grateful to Dade and kowtowed.

appeased the victim, Jiang Fuguang's heart was inevitably heavy, when the elder brother was stationed on the southwest border, although he often led troops to suppress bandits, but the 100,000-mile mountain was not under the rule of the Southern Dynasty, the barbarian forces were deep-rooted, and bandits were rampant in all dynasties, and it was impossible to eradicate the bandits.

Only by recovering the twelve counties of Yunnan and sending troops by the imperial court to suppress the bandits, the lives of those merchants who come to and from the southwest will be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Due to the complexity of everything, Jiang Fuguang and his party were delayed for another day before continuing on the road.

At the same time, the matter of the eldest princess's order to wash the bloody wind village also spread in the 100,000-mile mountain, and the mountain bandits who were hovering in the 100,000-mile mountain were simply frightened, and they clamped their tails one after another, and they didn't even dare to take their heads, and the 100,000-mile mountain area ushered in a rare calm.

The rest of the journey was smooth.

Three days later, Jiang Fuguang and his entourage arrived in Dali City.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the southwest, the southwest dynasties were ruled by the Central Plains, since the destruction of the Dayu Dynasty, the north and the south stood side by side, and there were six "Zhao" Yi tribes around the Erhai Lake, including Mengxi, Yuexi, Langqiong, Deng Zhen, Shi Lang and Mengshe, and since then the southwest has completely separated from the Han rule.

Dali City is adjacent to the rippling Erhai Lake in the east, leaning on the perennial verdant Cangshan Mountain in the west, forming the landscape pattern of "a water surrounds Cangshan, Cangshan hugs the ancient city", the scenery is beautiful, majestic and magnificent.

A city tower is built on the city gate, there is an acropolis below, and there are three streams in the north and south as natural barriers, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Approaching the city, the crowd suddenly densed, facing the spring color of the four seasons, caravans from different regions, wearing different costumes and speaking different regional accents, lined up outside the city gate, waiting to enter the city.

Jiang Fuguang and his entourage had a lot of battles, and as soon as they arrived at the city gate, they attracted widespread attention.

The southwest is remote, communication is blocked, and it is not uncommon for local wealthy families to raise private soldiers and travel with private soldiers, so the people queuing up to enter the city did not recognize that this was the car of the eldest princess of the Southern Dynasty.
