Chapter Twenty-Five: Runaway Zhou Jinwei, Soldier
"She lied that she was the granddaughter of General Zhou, and said she knew you."
Bian Long shook his head.
"Old General Zhou has a granddaughter?"
Several soldiers from the land north of the river laughed.
"What about her? Bring her up. ”
Lin Bei's expression was solemn and he raised his forehead.
He never thought that Zhou Jinwei's stupid girl would dare to mix in his team and follow him to Jiangbei.
Looking at the reactions of the people around him, Lin Bei also understood that although Zhou Jinwei was the granddaughter of General Zhou, outsiders didn't know about it.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it."
Bian Long nodded solemnly, and then walked quickly away from the tent.
Ten minutes later, in Lin Bei's tent, Zhou Jinwei knelt obediently in the center of the tent, looking at Ah Yue and Lin Bei who were staring at her.
"Zhou Jinwei, why did you secretly follow me to Jiangbei, does General Zhou know about this?"
"The old man doesn't know, it's me who sneaked out......"
Zhou Jinwei twisted her fingers and lowered her head weakly.
"I'll send someone to take you back, it's too dangerous here."
Lin Bei persuaded softly.
He was a little surprised that this girl was so timid that she dared to blend in with his ranks.
However, he had to send it back, and General Zhou had no other descendants except Zhou Jinwei.
General Zhou's three sons all died on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country, leaving only a granddaughter like Zhou Jinwei for General Zhou.
Come to think of it, General Zhou didn't let Zhou Jinwei contact the army and contact the military book, just so that the latter would not be like his father.
It seems that General Zhou also used some means, and even the soldiers of the big merchants didn't know that General Zhou, whom they admired so much, had a granddaughter.
When she came back to her senses, Zhou Jinwei in front of her bit her lower lip, and her tears were like dropped pearls.
"Lin Bei, I thought you were my bosom friend, but I didn't expect that you were the same as my old man."
"From childhood to adulthood, as long as it is something I am interested in, whether it is a war book or a weapon, the old man will not let me touch it, obviously ......"
The grievances in Zhou Jinwei's heart exploded at this moment, and the words with crying were blurred.
"And you big liar, you obviously said that you would bring me to Jiangbei, but you even thought about leaving me alone and running away......"
"Oh, don't cry!"
Lin Bei looked at Zhou Jinwei with an aggrieved face, feeling helpless.
Regarding General Zhou's approach, Lin Bei felt that he was not qualified to evaluate, but in the face of Zhou Jinwei, who was crying badly, Lin Bei couldn't turn a blind eye.
He stepped forward, and the latter looked at Lin Bei who was coming, his moist eyes full of grievances and hatred.
Lin Bei stretched out his hand to help him up, but Zhou Jinwei pushed him away.
"Okay, it was my fault before, you apologize to you, okay?"
Lin Bei was helpless, so he simply sat on the ground and looked at the other party's moist eyes.
"I'm going to stay here and not go back."
"Okay, okay, let's not go back, but we have to say okay, don't run around."
Waiting for Lin Bei's affirmative reply, Zhou Jinwei smiled innocently, and then fell weakly into Lin Bei's arms like a puddle of soft mud, breathing steadily.
After more than ten days of trekking with the soldiers, I was still mentally frightened, so it was no wonder that I fell asleep tired.
"Overseer, a hundred soldiers have been assembled!"
At this time, Bian Long's voice came from outside the tent.
Lin Bei hugged Zhou Jinwei to the bed, and then looked at Ah Yue beside him: "Ah Yue, you take care of him, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”
Ah Yue nodded.
Lin Bei thanked in his heart, and then walked out of the tent.
Outside the tent, the eyes of more than 100 soldiers suddenly fell on Lin Bei's body.
"Let's go! Bandits! ”
Lin Bei said with a smile.
A few minutes later, more than 100 soldiers disappeared in the eyes of several Jiangbei soldiers.
"General Lin is so confident, he is going to suffer."
One of the soldiers said in a deep voice.
They had doubts about Lin Bei taking more than a hundred people so rashly to exterminate the same number of Jiangbei mountain bandits.
They followed the Jiangbei Governor's Army for several months, and knew the difficulty of exterminating the mountain bandits.
If they can't be wiped out at once, the mountain bandits will inevitably make a comeback.
The mountain bandits were agile behind them, walking on the rugged mountain roads, and Lin Bei's army had never experienced mountain battles.
In this way, when the mountain bandits heard the movement, they all dispersed on the mountain for a while and became rangers, and the soldiers of the big merchants directly became rats who were played by cats.
After analysis, it is almost an impossible task to exterminate the mountain bandits.
"It's okay to suffer a little loss, General Lin is young and vigorous, and in the future, he knows the difficulty of exterminating the mountain bandits, and his heart will gradually calm down."
The leader looked at the team that disappeared into the horizon, stroked his beard, and smiled.
A few hours later, Lin Bei and his party had already arrived at the area where the mountain bandits were located.
Lin Bei looked at the lush mountains and touched his chin.
"Overseer."
"The soldiers have been ordered to take off their armor and enter the surrounding villages."
Bian Long said respectfully.
Lin Bei nodded: "Issue an order, if you find anyone who uses his identity to bully the people, he will be severely punished." ”
"The minister commands."
Bian Long walked away quickly.
Lin Bei unloaded the knife on his waist and walked into a village on the side at will.
Although he took off his armor, the brocade clothes worn by Lin Bei suddenly made the people of the village look scared.
Lin Bei smiled kindly at them, and then came to a ridge, took off his boots, stepped into the paddy field on the side, and helped a hunched old woman dig in the mud.
The old lady was suddenly frightened and did not dare to move.
The men beside the fields also showed vigilant eyes, and deep in their eyes, there was fear hidden.
In the past, when the army came to the village, they forcibly let them cooperate with the bandits.
If you don't want to, you will be beaten all over your body by these military masters.
But even if they were covered in bruises, they could not have offended the mountain bandits, and if they knew that when the army left, their entire village would suffer.
If they don't offend the bandits, they just come to collect money every once in a while, and as long as they pay the money, there is almost nothing to do.
The army was much more terrible than the mountain bandits, and they not only robbed the village of things, but also insulted the women of their village.
At this time, Lin Bei had already dug a dustpan of mud and helped the old lady move to the ridge.
"Isn't that so, old woman?"
Lin Bei's brocade clothes were full of wet mud, and while he was digging out the mud in the dustpan and mending the gap in the water outlet of the field, he looked at the trembling old woman and showed a bright smile.
The old lady looked at Lin Bei's smile and stood in place, a little at a loss for a while.
Just now she saw someone reporting to this military master, thinking that he was an official, but she didn't expect that this officer would step into the field with one foot and help her work.
"Master ......"
The old lady just wanted to kneel down to express her gratitude, but was held by Lin Bei with her elbow.
"Old woman, no thanks, just leave me at your house for a meal."
"Thank you."
Under the scorching sun, the man in the field looked at Lin Bei who was sweating, and felt that his throat was blocked by something.
