At dinner, my sister-in-law asked, "Little brother, how long do you think those thieves will come to us?"

"It was supposed to be three or four days. ”

Luo Chong replied: "Now, ten days and eight days may not be enough. ”

With Ma Hanzi's cavalry harassing all the way, the thieves couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep at night, they were just a rabble, there was not much discipline at all, plus the people who came under duress were crying and crying, and it was very good to be able to walk ten miles a day.

Ten miles sounds very little, and a healthy young man humming a small tune can be completed in less than an hour, but if tens of thousands of people are crowded on the main road, one moment this one falls, the other one escapes, this group of people looks for food along the road, and that group of people collectively goes to the tuba, it is really as slow as a turtle crawling, and it is not an exaggeration at all.

Every time the cavalry harasses, it must cause many people to panic and flee, so if you don't go back, then burn high incense.

"There are more than ten days left. ”

The sister-in-law showed a playful smile that was passable: "Don't worry about it when the time comes, anyway, don't worry about it these days." ”

Luo's mother praised: "There is really a set of training soldiers, what did those babies in the town look like, they were not thin monkeys, or lazy insects, in less than a month, look at them again, all of them have become strong young men, and they are all in good spirits." ”

"Feed your stomach, pay money on time, and practice to the death. ”

Luo Chong smiled: "There is no one who can't practice well." ”

"That's it. ”

Luo's mother nodded: "Your father said that you can have two taels of silver a month, which can fill your stomach, and our soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty are the best, and no one dares to provoke." ”

"Hmm. ”

Luo Chong nodded: "There are a lot of us." ”

Then he said to Luo Xiu'er: "Starting tomorrow, don't go to the soup kitchen, I have already found you a teacher, and you will start to read and write tomorrow." ”

Luo Xiuer nodded and agreed, she didn't go to soup soup for a good reputation, she was just looking for something to do, and she was idle at home, feeling uncomfortable.

"Xiu'er has changed a lot. ”

Luo's mother commented objectively: "It's only been a few days, and I look like a housekeeper." ”

Luo Chong deliberately said: "With a cloudy face all day long, others are afraid to look at it, and they pretend to know." ”

"I didn't pretend. ”

Luo Xiuer didn't care what Luo's mother said, she just couldn't listen to Luo Chong's criticism, and immediately whispered: "I'm not in the shade, I'm laughing every day." ”

"That's right, laugh once a day. ”

Luo Chong still refused to let her go.

"This kid ......"

Luo's mother knocked her son with a smile, anyway, every time she eats, her chopsticks have to tap a few times on Luo Chong's body, either on the back of her hand or on her brain.

It can only be said that this kid is underwhelmed.

Before going to bed at night, Luo Xiu'er rubbed Luo Chong's back in the bathhouse again, but she was still thinking about it, so she asked him: "Do you really think I'm gloomy all day?"

"Nonsense. ”

Luo Chong relieved her at this time: "I just hope you are happier and happier, and you will be happy when you see someone like a fool." ”

"Do you still have to drool?" she was amused.

The next morning, Wei Guangliang, the little fat magistrate, handed over a stack of silver tickets to Luo Chong, and said in a pleading tone that was about to die...... I'm most afraid of pain. ”

Luo Chong glanced at the silver ticket and said with a smile: "You don't have to give it now, when you get Hengyuan County back, it's not too late to give the money, and I'm not afraid that you will repay the debt." ”

"Bet right, the money is yours. ”

Wei Guangliang sniffled, as if he was about to cry: "But if it's wrong, my life is gone, what's the use of me keeping these." ”

"Alright, alright. ”

Luo Chong was about to be defeated by his weak Dafa, waved his hand and said: "No matter how bad it is, I can escape with you, I'm not really tired of being alive, you say yes." ”

When Wei Guangliang heard this, he immediately smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, it's still the safest way." ”

Dare to be affectionate, he has to mention the escape plan before he feels steady.

"You just change your name to Wei Ranran. ”

Luo Chong shook his head: "You have the ability to escape." ”

With the bottom in his heart, Wei Ranran's IQ will return, so that there can be more associations: "If Qianhu can really quell the chaos, this credit is not small, and when the time comes, the relationship in Beijing will be dredged, and my father will be able to help." ”

"Yes, I will speak when I need to. ”

Luo Chong grabbed the silver ticket and raised it: "You have also seen it, I don't know how to be polite at all." ”

Then he was going to drive him away, but the kid's mind was already alive, and he came over with a shy face: "Qianhu, we are also an old relationship, you said, how much does it cost, are you willing to share a little credit with me?"

I gave two silver tickets within 24 hours, is it an old relationship?

Luo Chong did not refute it immediately, because of the so-called merit, he didn't care, he really wanted to make meritorious service and send the head of the generalissimo of the Qingyuan State to the capital, ensuring that the world would be famous and the world would be shaken.

Besides, the credit for quelling the chaos here is impossible for one person to monopolize, from Guanglingwei, to Quang Ninh Province, to the military department, a credit will be cut into many pieces, and divided up layer by layer for various high-sounding reasons.

The credit that you can take is enough to go up one level, and it is useless to go up one level more, and it is a pure waste. Because, as a person with no background background, it is impossible for the imperial court to let you be promoted two levels in a row.

In this way, if you can sell a little credit in advance, you will also make real money, right?

Not to mention that there is silver in the small universe, two things are good or not, what we want is a spiritual enjoyment.

So, Luo Chong asked him, "How much credit do you want?"

"It's enough to move up the next level, it's useless to have more. ”

Sure enough, Wei Guangliang also said this: "My father is a salt merchant, and I want to be transferred to the Canal Salt Division to do a six-grade promotion, which is not so obvious, but it is more direct to take care of my father's business." ”

"Well, that's a lot of ideas!"

Luo Chong couldn't help but nod his head and praise, going to the Salt Division to take care of his father's business is still secondary, the key is that it is easier to climb up with the transfer back and forth.

If you have been a magistrate in Hengyuan and want to upgrade two levels to become a magistrate, it is really difficult, and I don't know how many people below will fight for your life.

Further up, if you want to be a prefect, let alone that.

But if you jump back and forth on different levels, there are too many tricks to figure out, at least to avoid the competitors who are always watching you and wary of you at the same level.

"How much money are you willing to spend?"

At this time, Luo Chong also has the face of a businessman.

"Ten thousand taels. ”

Wei Guangliang was honest: "As for the relationship dredging that thousands of households need in the capital, my father can also take it over, and we can do it together, but we can also save some money." ”

Of course, Luo Chong knew that it was no problem for him to add another three and a half thousand, but he really didn't have the desire to enjoy the bargaining aspect, and patted him on the shoulder: "Just according to what you said, don't ask for more, make a friend, after all, you are a rare teaser." ”

"Tease?"

Wei Guangliang hadn't heard of this word, so he didn't understand.

"Interesting meaning. ”

Luo Chong waved his hand: "Okay, it's decided, you have a share of the credit! Hurry up and rest, it only seems that you have lost more than ten pounds in one night." ”

Of course it can't be, just find a reason to drive him away.

"yes. ”

Wei Guangliang rubbed his face: "Last night, I really didn't sleep much, and when I closed my eyes, I was hung by the thief and put in the oil pot, and it hurt so much to think about it......"

In the following days, it was relatively calm, the so-called army of thieves did not arrive, the town was desolate, another wave of refugees passed, and they could not enter without opening the city gates, but they ate everything that could be eaten outside, and only gray and desolate was left in the field of vision.

Dada......

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Ma Hanzi and the others returned on time, fifty men and sixty horses, and when they returned, only two people were missing, but the spare horses were full of harvest.

The so-called harvest is, of course, a bloody and smelly human head, and there is also a big living person, who is still a woman.

The comfort women they improvised to capture?

Luo Chong knew, of course not, even if they did that, they didn't dare to let themselves know, let alone bring it back.

The woman wore a black hood over her head and her hands were tied to the saddle.

Open the gates and let them in!

"Senho-sama!"

The forty-eight sergeants fell off their horses in unison, and the original recruits had some fierce aura on their faces.

In just five days, what you experienced could be written into a book, and it would be strange if it hadn't changed.

"Lord Qianhu, perform the mission for five days, and bring back more than three hundred and twenty moments of the head!"

Ma Hanzi stepped forward to report: "All of them are the main force of the Yaotian Army, that is, the bandits from all the mountains in the past. ”

"Good, went above and beyond. ”

Luo Chong nodded: "Let the sergeants have a good rest, you come with me." ”

"Thousand Households ......"

Ma Hanzi added later: "I also captured a woman." ”

"Bring it with you. ”

Luo Chong waved his hand.

The Thousand Households can also be said to be a yamen, but it is not in the public court, but in the side hall.

The woman was temporarily tied to the pillar outside, and in the hall, Ma Hanzi was concise and reported to Luo Chong the results achieved in the past five days.

As Luo Chong expected, although there were only fifty cavalry members, because the only group of horse thieves in Guangling was exterminated by Luo Chong in advance, the Yaotian Army was so pitiful that it couldn't organize a decent cavalry to chase and kill Ma Hanzi and them.

There were dozens of horses against the thieves, but in addition to the ones ridden by the leaders, the rest were all bad horses and horses that could not run fast, and they could not catch up with Ma Hanzi and their standard war horses at all, but were shot by more than a dozen guerrilla wars that came and went.

More than 300 heads are nothing, and they can't pose much of a blow to the Yaotian Army, but the soldiers who can be brought out by Ma Hanzi can be greatly trained, and they will almost be sharpened from new recruits to junior veterans.

Two of the cavalrymen did not return, not because they were sacrificed, but because they were unlucky, one was shot in the back by a stray arrow, and the other fell and broke his horse with poor riding skills. Ma Hanzi placed them in a secret cave in the ravine, leaving enough food and various medicines prepared by Luo Chong.

The injuries on their bodies will definitely not kill them, but whether they can heal their injuries in the ravine and whether they can come back by themselves in a few days depends on their luck and ability.

In order to complete the task, Ma Hanzi will not be dragged down by the wounded, and he also has the intention of testing them: At the beginning, Lao Tzu came back after being a wild man in the mountains alone for two months, and you two must be able to do it with you!

Not to mention that Ma Hanzi is ruthless, human life is the cheapest in this world, and those humanitarianism on the earth will never work.

"Well, can you take another team out for a walk?"

Luo Chong asked gently, it doesn't matter how many enemies you kill, it doesn't matter how much you slow down the anti-thief's approaching speed, whether our recruits can be trained or not, this is what Luo Chong values.

"No problem!"

Ma Hanzi said with a smile: "I was a wild man in the mountains for two months last year, and I came out, so it definitely doesn't matter if it's going to be a few days." ”

"Good. ”

Luo Chong wasn't worried that he would be exhausted, after all, he had already cultivated the world's top internal strength method, and he could no longer be asked of him by the standards of ordinary people.

Then I asked, "That woman, what's the matter?"
