Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 328: Tit-for-tat
Six miles outside Baisha County.
A troop of five hundred people has been camped, the guard posts are scattered two miles apart, and a patrol team is secretly monitoring the situation near the official road.
"My letter is so clear, they shouldn't be defenseless, are they?"
Ning Wanjun squatted by the fire, rubbing her slightly whitish hands.
Even though it was freezing cold, her eyes were gleaming. Such days seemed to have brought her back to the frontier period. Compared to lying in a villa and reading documents, she should be leading the battle.
"If they are not stupid, they will definitely send someone out to check the situation." Qiuyue is also in a uniform at the moment, with a long bow and an air rifle on her back. "But is this really good, your Highness? Before the war begins. I just revealed my main attack direction to the opponent..."
"Otherwise? Take advantage of the other side's defense and rush into the county in one fell swoop. What kind of training effect can that be achieved." Ning Wanjun disdainfully said, "If it is a field encounter, they won't even count as an opponent. Only relying on city walls and weapons can a battle be possible."
"His Royal Highness." Outside the camp, a guard lifted the curtain, and the cold wind made the fire sway suddenly. "The people in the city have all withdrawn, only five, with one civilian woman. Do you want to see them? "
"Let them wait by the campfire, I will go over."
"Yes."
Ning Wanjun stood up and put on a thick linen cloak, Qiuyue tied her neckband. Then the princess walked out of the main tent and came to the center of the camp welcoming the small snow.
Seeing Ning Wanjun herself, all five people in the bureau were shocked.
They never expected that the leader who was about to launch an action against Baisha County turned out to be Princess Quang Binh!
"Meet Your Royal Highness the Princess!"
The five people all knelt down on one knee and said.
Hearing what they call them, the local woman was stunned for a while, and then fell to the ground in a daze, "The grass, the grass people have seen the princess..."
"Get up." Ning Wanjun waved her hand, indicating that there is no need to be polite, "Is the notice I requested sent to the county magistrate?"
"Return to Your Highness, yes!" The leader Tang Luming said excitedly, "The content of the letter is exactly as you requested!" To be honest, at the beginning, he felt that the content of the letter was too trifling, not only deliberately using words. Offending the magistrate, there is also the suspicion of throwing grass and scaring snakes. But since it meant the princess, it was completely fine.
She is of royal blood, so what if she points to the magistrate's nose and scolds?
"His Royal Highness is, is she here to avenge the Caomin?" The woman stammered, her expression full of expectation, nervous but full of expectation.
"Yes." Ning Wanjun nodded slightly, "Don't worry, if you find out that it is really wrong, none of the murderers will be able to escape."
The Lady of the Pan family opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say some words of gratitude, but in the end thousands of words turned into rolling tears, choked and dripped into the snow.
When she came to Jinxia’s group of outsiders, she also had suspicions. After all, as the saying goes, strong dragons don’t crush ground snakes. If it were not desperate, she would not choose to be desperate.
At the moment when the princess responded, the pan family's worries finally disappeared.
The tears at this moment are both sorrow and relief.
The princess noticed that not all of the five people in the bureau were full of joy. At least two of them showed a slightly awkward smile, as if they were pretending to be excited.
She smiled silently, not taking this discovery to heart.
The investigation after the incident will be handled by our own staff.
She only needs to focus on the actual combat exercise in front of her.
After all, she had spent a lot of talking to persuade Xia Fan for this opportunity.
Now it's finally the guy's turn to sit in the villa and review the papers.
……
"What? You said they are all gone?" Qian Zhixian asked loudly.
"It's true." The servant hurriedly lowered his head. "The little one went to the place where the bureau was listed, and tore through the window paper and took a peek. There is no one in the house!"
"Do you know when those guys left?"
"This...the little one asked the neighbors, but the wind and snow, no one noticed their movements. I only know that the door of this shop has not been opened since the morning."
"Okay, you can go out." Qian Zhixian waved his hand to make the servant retreat, and stared at each other. The hot pot is still steaming, but now no one is going to stretch out the chopsticks. "Everyone—what do you think?"
"It's quite fast to slip away. The credibility of the arrest of the troops...it is too sensational." Master Sun said with a solemn expression, "We all know that the princess has private soldiers, and Jinxia City has been pirates. At the time of the attack, it was supported by private soldiers until the garrison arrived. The question is...Use private soldiers against a county chief? Those who dare to say this must be a lunatic."
Pirates are not the same thing as the prefect.
If anyone dared to do this, stabbing Gyeonggi into Gyeonggi would be a serious crime of embezzlement and harassment of the nine races!
Even if the princess cannot be blamed by the clan, she herself cannot escape the disaster.
"Could someone deliberately frame Princess Quang Binh?" The main book could only guess in a bold direction, "Or is there a collusion between the gangsters and the affairs branch to pretend to be Jinxia?"
"Impossible! If this is the case, I will definitely get the news in advance." Fei Zhuang shook his head, "Well, let's make a two-handed plan, while implementing the content of the letter, while preparing the people below. If This so-called arresting force is really coming to Baisha City, and it will definitely leave its footprints on the road."
"I will arrange for someone to investigate immediately." Qian Zhixian nodded in agreement, "No matter who takes the lead in this matter, the righteousness is on my side. In any case, I will never let them step into the county seat!"
"What if it is really someone from Jinxia City?" the master book asked cautiously.
"Then they are no different from the rebels!" The magistrate slammed the table down, "Master Zhang, how many people can we gather by tomorrow?"
The master book stretched out his finger and quickly counted, "The government has a hundred people team, plus the government officials and temporary recruitment of labor, it can almost make up to three hundred."
"Where are the two?" He looked at Fei Zhuang and Tang Yingzhi.
Tang Yingzhi raised two fingers, "You also know the situation of the Tang family. These people were selected by me. Their loyalty is guaranteed, but the weapons in my hand are not good. Armor is even rarer..."
"I got it from the warehouse." The county magistrate said without hesitation. Anyway, after borrowing it, it can be recovered. As for the loss caused by the inversion~IndoMTL.com~ he can completely eliminate it by making an account.
"I have five hundred people." Fei Zhuang said in a deep voice. This happened because of him. If he doesn't put more effort, I'm afraid it will cause gaps. What's more, he is in charge of the Baisha Mine, and he usually needs a large number of manpower to supervise the labor, and there are not a few gangsters who raise privately. It can be said that he alone has the final say in the underground order of Baisha City.
Fei Zhuang paused at this point, and stretched out two more fingers.
"In addition, I also happen to hire two emotional people in my family, they are all experienced people from the rivers and lakes, they are suitable for this kind of scene."
"Oh? That's great." Qian Zhixian couldn't help but be certain when he heard this. More than a thousand people could be gathered, as well as those who were agitated. With the help of city walls and crossbows, this force was enough to repel. Twice as many thieves as yourself, or tens of thousands of refugees.
Although Jinxia City is large, the capture team is bluntly a private soldier, which is not comparable to the Shenzhou Garrison.
It is impossible for the other party to suddenly move out a few siege equipment in the wind and snow, right?
In the evening, the investigators sent by Qian Zhixian finally brought back reliable news-there are indeed signs of a large number of people and horses in the northern suburbs of Baisha County!
