Chapter 479: Suppressing Bandits
Rong Ci went to the palace, received an errand to suppress bandits, and went to see Rong Xun before leaving the palace.
"Bandits?" Rong Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Exactly."
Rong Xun thought for a while and said: "According to Hengshan, although it is not too far from the imperial city, the fast horse walks from the east city gate, and it will take half a day, but that area is barren mountains and mountains, I heard that there are tigers and leopards infested, few people come, if some bandits hide in the mountains, it is normal." ”
"Since Your Majesty has asked you to go, you have done a good job of this matter, firstly, in addition to these scourges, and secondly, it can be regarded as saving some merits, which is beneficial to you."
Rong Ci nodded, planning to leave the palace immediately.
Rong Xun told again: "I don't know if those people are watching in the city, go quietly when you go, and talk about it when you come back, and then there is, be careful in everything." ”
"Most of these bandits are deadly, whether it is an old man, a woman or even a child, they can become a knife, you have probably never seen this, you need to be careful to deal with it."
"Thank you, big brother." Rong said thank you and left the palace, and after a while, he took Lu Chai to order fifty soldiers together, went east out of the east gate of the imperial city, and went straight to Hengshan.
Riding a horse all the way, until the sunset is shining, you will reach the edge of the Heng Mountain.
Lu Chai looked at the weekdays and was not in tune, but it was quite reliable to do business, otherwise it would be impossible to stay by Rong Ci's side, and Rong Ci went to find Rong Xun before, so he went to find someone to understand the situation in Hengshan.
"According to the bandits in the Hengshan area, many people have said, there were also people who brought troops over before, either they couldn't find anyone or asked them to escape, this area is quite large, and it is not easy to search for people in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is troublesome to send too many people to exterminate them."
"There haven't been any major incidents in these years, and the world knows that this area is dangerous, so they have taken a detour, and they have been delayed."
Rong Ci nodded: "Leave half of the people down, and the rest will go up the mountain in three parts, and check the situation tonight, if anyone has news, they will come back, if there is no news, they must also come back before dawn tomorrow." ”
"Yes."
"Lu Chai, you lead a team, Song Yuan leads a team, and I lead a team."
"Beware of wild beasts in the mountains."
"Yes."
The group discussed and ate some of the dry food they brought, and when it was completely dark, they divided into three teams and went into the mountains.
The moon hung in the sky, the bright moonlight sprinkled down, the night wind blew the grass and leaves, and the cries of insects and beasts were heard from time to time in the deep forest.
The three teams went up to Hengshan in three directions, and the night passed, and they touched almost all the mountains, but they didn't find anything, let alone the old nest of the village in the mountains, and there was no trace of anyone.
Isn't there anyone patrolling this night, and I'm not afraid of being served in a pot?
They still want to arrest a few more to ask about the situation.
The taste lurking in the mountains is really not very pleasant, not to mention anything else, mosquitoes are buzzing, I don't know how many bags have been bitten out of the body, when the sky is a little bright, Rong Ci is about to take people away, and wait for tomorrow to talk about it, but unexpectedly heard a sound of footsteps.
A few people who were about to leave shrank back and continued to lurk.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and someone on the side reached out and pressed the mosquito lying on his face ready to suck blood, and looked out with wide eyes.
"I heard that the new lady was born so beautifully, how long has it been since we have seen such a beautiful girl? The owner of the village is really blessed! ”
"Of course, don't say that the new lady is so beautiful, there are a few women in our village, how to say the old saying, the sow race sable cicada, is this the reason."
"Also, no wonder the owner of the village married a new lady and asked us to go down the mountain to get food back, it can be seen that I like it."
"Don't say it, don't say it, go quickly."
When they bought things, they went out of the city before the city gate was closed, and they hurried overnight, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, they carried things up the mountain.
A group of seven or eight people walked through the forest carrying burdens or things, Rong Ci raised his hand, led the people to follow, and after following for a long time, the sky was a little dark.
Rong Ci and the others were thinking about where these people's nests were, but they saw that they opened a mountain that climbed densely with vines, revealing the entrance of a cave, and then walked into a cave and disappeared, and the vines at the entrance of the cave fell and returned to their original state.
Rong Ci's eyebrows raised slightly.
No wonder, after searching for so long, I can't see where this village is, there is such a hidden cave.
He said: "I'll go to find out the situation first, and arrange for the two of them to go back and report to people to come over, and the rest of the people will stay here." ”
"Childe." The people on the side disagreed, "It's better to go down, how can you let Childe take risks." ”
Especially the situation ahead is unclear, how can you let Childe take risks, even if Childe is powerful, but they are not impossible, and it is not that no one uses it, right?
Rong Ci thought about it, it was best for him to stay and guard the command, so he said: "Let Yuyang and Shaoqing go, be careful." ”
Yuyang and Shaoqing are both secret guards, this time they came with Rong Ci, Shaoqing was originally called Taiqing, but the name of Taiqing is too much, so it is called Shaoqing, Shaoqing is the best, Yuyang is good at covering up traces, the two went together, and there was also a response.
"Yes." Shaoqing, dressed in black, and Yuyang received their orders, and then entered the cave together.
Rong Ci arranged for the two of them to go down the mountain to bring the people over, and he continued to wait here.
At this time, they were already in the deep mountains and old forests, and it took a lot of time to go down the mountain, and when Lu chased and led the people to arrive, it was already noon, and Shaoqing, who went to visit the situation, also came back.
"Yuyang is still staring, his subordinates will come back, I don't know who has dug it in the cave, there are many passages of all sizes, if you don't go with people, I'm afraid I don't know how long I will go around."
"After following them for half an hour, we came to the bottom of a cliff, where there were many houses, which should be the lair of the bandits in Hengshan."
"I heard that yesterday, when they came down the mountain, they robbed a man and a woman, and the woman was born very beautiful, and the owner of the village will marry her as the ninth lady today."
"My subordinates have gone to see it in person, and the new lady should be the Gu girl that King Huainan is looking for."
Miss Gu?
Gu You?
"Is that them?" Rong Ci was slightly surprised, he probably didn't guess such a coincidence, but after thinking about it, he suddenly understood again.
His Majesty probably knew about this and ordered him to suppress the bandits, firstly, to really suppress the bandits and save some merit for him, and secondly, it should be to let him bring these two people back.
Jiang Shizi eloped with someone, although he was messing around, but he was the only seedling in Wu'anhou's Mansion now, if he died here, Wu'anhou was afraid that he would have no intention of doing anything in the future.
As for Gu You... It's about just a dropway.
