"Let someone go and count the soldiers who were injured and killed this time. Those who deserve a generous burial should be given a generous burial, and those who should be comforted by their families should be given comfort money. Remember to ask someone you trust to do this," Banhua remembered that there were still people in the military camp. There is such a thing as embezzlement of pension funds. He added, "If anyone dares to do such a thing, there is no need to report it to the lord. I will personally chop off his head!"

"Yes!" Du Jiu's heart moved, with excitement on his face, "General, please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely take care of this matter."

Ban Hua couldn't help but sigh when she saw him going out with great momentum. The female guard behind her looked at her worriedly, "Princess, are you okay?"

The princess has been pampered since she was a child. Although she learned how to mobilize troops and generals from the old general, that happened many years ago. How old was the princess at that time? How could she have really seen the cruelty on the battlefield? Now he spends all day with these soldiers. He has poor food and clothing, and his silk, satin, gold and silver jewelry cannot be used. How has their princess ever suffered like this?

"I'm fine," Banhua leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and let the female guard squeeze his shoulders, "Jiang Luo acted cruelly. If he is not overthrown, not only will the people in the world have trouble sleeping and eating, but also everyone in my Ban family will No one will survive."

"But..." the female guard hesitated for a moment, "The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, I am worried about my uncle..."

If my uncle really ascends the throne and becomes emperor one day, although the master and his uncle are married, people's hearts can change. What should I do if my uncle is afraid that my master has the blood of the Jiang family?

"Even if Rong Xia's friendship with me is over, he is at least a good emperor, and my Ban family treats him well, so he will never embarrass the Ban family," Banhua smiled, "As for the rest, It’s useless to worry so early. In life, you must always think about the good things, otherwise it will be uneconomical if you don’t live happily every day.”

"Princess, you have a good attitude and can think freely," the female guard laughed at Banhua's words, "What you said makes sense, but my subordinate is too timid."

"There is a saying among the people that you are reluctant to be cut off. How can you bring down a beautiful woman?" Banhua raised his head seductively, "Are you right?"

"The original saying among the people is that you can kill the emperor even if you are willing to cut yourself into pieces..." The female guard's complexion changed and she said with a wry smile, "Princess, you are teasing your subordinates again. I dare not say this."

"What is there that you dare not say? We are not doing this kind of thing now?" Banhua said confidently, "It's okay, let's talk behind closed doors, no one knows."

The female guards all said yes, and they seemed to believe whatever Banhua said.

Qingsong County is a poor county under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou. The terrain of this county is steep and the soil is not fertile enough, so the agricultural products are not rich. When the weather is good, the harvest is better, and you can barely have a full meal. If you encounter In the year of great disaster, you have to tighten your belt and live a life. It is possible to starve to death accidentally.

The arrival of Banhua did not make the local people despair, but gave them hope.

These soldiers did not burn, kill, loot, or make trouble for them. It can be seen that these rebels really wanted to save the people from the fire and had to rise up. Some people asked who the young jade-faced general who led the troops was. After learning that he was the second-largest general in the army, some old ladies even began to care about whether the general had a family.

After learning that she was married, many families who were considered prominent in the local county were a little disappointed, but they still donated some food and grass to the Rong family army in a good attitude. At this time, gold and silver are not as popular as grain and grass. On the one hand, these noble families want to speculate, and on the other hand, they are worried that these rebels are just pretending, and they want to give them some benefits in order not to offend.

After Banhua took over the grain and grass, he registered them all and said to these noble families: "I will remember the righteous deeds of all my fellow villagers in my heart. After defeating the traitor, I will be doubly grateful to you."

"The general's words are serious, don't dare."

None of these wealthy and distinguished families dared to take this scene seriously. After leaving Banhua's temporary residence, they just thought that they had spent money to buy peace of mind.

As soon as these people were sent away, soldiers came to report that the imperial army had appeared two miles away.

"Finally here," Banhua stood up, "Archers prepare."

"Yes!"

Banhua picked up the helmet on the table and hurried to the city gate.

The imperial army marched very fast. Banhua stood on the city gate and watched them writing stone characters on the flag. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The leader of the army was Shi Jin.

"I am Shi Jin. I have been ordered by His Majesty to recruit you all. As long as you abandon your weapons and surrender, the court will not hold you accountable for your faults." Shi Jin was riding on horseback and looked up at the soldiers raising their bows at the city gate. , the soldiers behind him raised their shields and blocked him.

"What a loyal and courageous General Shi," Banhua said loudly on the city wall, "Now that the country has no country and the people are in dire straits, we can't bear for the people to live in dire straits. Even if they bear the infamy of history, we will never Don't back down. General Shi is loyal to the emperor and serves the court wholeheartedly. He deserves to be praised by historians for his loyalty."

These words seemed to be praising Shi Jin, but the words were heartbreaking. Shi Jin's face turned a little pale. When he saw who was speaking clearly, his face was as pale as mortar.

"I have met Princess Fule." He raised his hands and bowed respectfully, "You are the princess granted by the imperial court, why do you want to collude with the rebels?"

"Emperor Fengning is unkind and puts His Majesty and the Crown Prince under house arrest. As a princess conferred by His Majesty, how can I endure His Majesty and the Crown Prince being treated like this?" Banhua said confidently, "If Emperor Fengning has no guilty conscience at all, Why don't you let me meet His Majesty and the Crown Prince?!"

How could Shi Jin not know that what Ban Hua said was true, but the lives of hundreds of people in the main branch of the Shi family were all in Jiang Luo's hands, and he had to give in.

The soldiers on both sides did not speak. This silent confrontation became a psychological war between the generals. Then Shi Jin felt so guilty that he didn't even dare to look directly at Banhua's face.

"Princess, if there is any misunderstanding, you can go back to Beijing and talk about it. Now the implication is very big and the people are panicked. How can you bear it?" Shi Jin lowered his head and said, "I am in my position and planning to do something, and I have offended you. ”

Ban Hua sneered, she set up her bow, shot down the imperial army's handsome flag with one arrow, and said loudly: "If you go one step further, there will be such a flag!"

"General, you are good at archery." Du Jiu took the bow and arrow from Banhua, "I admire you."

"My archery skills are not very good," Banhua shook his head, "I am not as good as an archer who has actually been on the battlefield."

Du Jiu thought to himself, this is not good, what is good?

"Archers prepare!"

"Let it go!"

The sound of killing below the city tower was loud. After the imperial army was forced to stop by the first wave of arrows, they retreated a few hundred meters away. When they saw that the arrows finally stopped, they rushed forward again.

"Brothers, they don't have enough arrows, hurry up!"

But before they even got close to the city gate, pot after pot of boiling water and hot oil were poured down. The soldiers attacking the city howled in pain and did not dare to come any closer.

"General!" Shi Jin's deputy retreated to Shi Jin's side, "The opponent is too cunning. They just attacked the city. Where did they find the hot water and boiling oil?"

Looking at the stalemate in front of him, Shi Jin thought of the possibility that the people in this city were helping the rebels, which was why they had so much boiling oil and boiling water. He raised his hand and said, "Pause the attack and don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

Banhua has been on guard for a long time. If they attack hard now, they won't be able to win.

"Yes!"

"General, they have withdrawn."

A soldier pointed at the city in surprise.

"It's just a delaying tactic," Banhua narrowed his eyes, "These imperial troops will definitely not come again within two hours. You will rest on the spot, leaving a few people to guard the city. Remember to keep your weapons away! ”

"Yes!"

Banhua held on to the mottled bricks on the city wall and looked at the imperial army in the distance with a calm expression.

She didn't know why Shi Jin was willing to lead troops to exterminate the rebels, but he was a very calm person and was not as easily angered as the former Qingsong County city guard general, so she had to be cautious.

If she were Shi Jin, what method would she choose to attack the city?

"General Shi, what should we do now?"

Shi Jin looked at the wounded soldiers being carried on the stretchers, shook his head and said: "Give the wounded soldiers medicine first."

"General, there is not enough wound medicine, not enough."

"General, there is something wrong with some of the weapons. I'm afraid they won't work properly on the battlefield."

"General, the food distributed to us by the imperial court has become moldy. I am worried that if these foods are used to feed the soldiers, our bodies will not be able to survive."

The more Shi Jin listened, the more silent he became. It was really hateful for these worms in the court to ask them to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, while at the same time giving them these things to eat! Even though Shi Jin had a calm personality, he couldn't help but darken his face. Why would he support such a court and such a royal family? !

"General?!"

Seeing the general's ugly face, the leader soldier cautiously asked, "Are you okay?"

Shi Jin shook his head: "Go and see what is edible. Let everyone satisfy their hunger first. As for the rest... I will think of something later."

The leader soldier withdrew from the camp. Shi Jin sat helplessly on a chair, rubbed his forehead and sighed.

In the middle of the night, the soldier guarding the grain and grass took a nap. When he opened his eyes, he hurriedly glanced around and saw that no colleagues noticed him. He shook his head to make himself more awake.

At this time, he saw a soldier walking out from behind a certain camp, muttering something like diarrhea. He thought of the bowl of musty porridge he had eaten at night, and looked at this soldier with some sympathy. Xiaobing, judging from his young age and tender skin, I'm afraid he has never been on the battlefield before. They veterans had never eaten anything, not to mention musty gruel, but they had also eaten a lot of grass roots, tree bark, mountain rats and hares.

After a while, the soldier came back carrying his pants. When he walked past him, he whispered: "Brother, don't you feel uncomfortable in your stomach?"

"What's this? Young people like you just haven't seen the world." The guard boasted to the young man for a while, and suddenly felt a need to urinate, so he said to the soldier: "Please help me take a look, I will soon Just come back."

"Brother, I haven't seen this before. H-hurry up." The young man glanced around and saw that there were only a few soldiers guarding here, and he seemed a little scared.

"We've already gone to the battlefield, why are you still chattering like a girl?" Seeing that he was still afraid of the dark, the guard couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Just stand here and I'll be back soon."

When he turned to leave, he was still a little proud. These new recruits just didn't know how difficult it was to know the battlefield without scolding them.

Banhua threw all the phosphorus powder hidden on her body into the warehouse at the back. After she stood a few steps away, she threw the lit paper ball in.

"Bang!" As soon as the phosphorus powder encountered sparks, it ignited. A guard next to her noticed her movements. Before she could speak, she covered her mouth and knocked her unconscious, and then threw her away from the granary. A little place.

"It's on fire, the granary is on fire." After Banhua shouted this, she quickly hid behind the tent next to her. After the other soldiers in the tent ran out, she hurriedly squeezed in among the group of people. middle.

"Quickly put out the fire, keep a close watch around the military camp and don't let suspicious people escape!"

When Shi Jin heard about the fire in the granary, he was not shocked at all. He walked outside the account and saw that the fire in the granary was quickly extinguished. He looked around and asked, "Have you caught the suspicious person?"

At this time, a soldier came to report that he had just spoken to a fair-skinned young man.

A young man with fair skin?

Shi Jin was secretly surprised and wondered, could it be Banhua himself who took action?

After the open fire was extinguished, he found that some small fires that were not extinguished were emitting a faint blue light: "Is that... phosphorus powder?"

Phosphorus powder is something used by jugglers, but these skills are generally not spread outside the country. Only if you have such a craftsman in your own family can you understand the inside story. It seems that this is really Banhua's handiwork, Beijing Who here doesn't know that the Ban family has many jugglers.

But what is she trying to do? This fire cannot burn the granary at all. This is a pile of grain, not a pile of flammable paper.

He was puzzled. After the soldiers returned to the tent to rest tiredly, he returned to the main tent. As soon as he sat on the couch, there was a cold sword on his neck.

"Princess, you shouldn't have come." He closed his eyes, "If I speak out now, you won't be able to walk out of this tent alive."

"What should I do or not?" Banhua turned to face him and said with a smile, "I believe that many people are sleeping deeply now, and they may not wake up even if they beat gongs and drums."

What she just threw down in the granary was not only flammable phosphorus powder, but also hypnotic powder. Anyone who smelled the smell of smoke would unconsciously fall asleep.

Shi Jin's expression changed slightly: "Is this your main purpose?"

Banhua smiled but said nothing.

Shi Jin opened his eyes and looked at Banhua, who was dressed as a soldier. Under the dim candlelight, her face looked a little dim, but her eyes were as bright as stars. He looked away, "The princess is good at what she does, but Shi is not as good as her."

"Didn't General Shi also send spies to sneak into the city?" Banhua smiled, "We are just each other."

Shi Jin raised his chin: "If the princess wants to take action, do it as soon as possible." He hesitated, "After taking action, go out through the west camp gate. The defense there is weak and it is more beneficial to the princess."

"I want to kill you, and you still want to help me figure out a way out?" Banhua couldn't help but laugh, "You are such an interesting person."

She glanced at Shi Jin's face: "You are so good-looking, I really can't bear to attack you." After saying that, she suddenly withdrew her sword with her backhand and hit Shi Jin **** the back of the head. Shi Jin fell down in response.

"Princess!" A soldier walked in and turned out to be the leader of the military camp. "Let's leave quickly." After saying this, he and another soldier who looked inconspicuous put Shi Jin into a into a black cloth bag, and then carried the person out of the tent.

The entire imperial army camp was quiet, except for intermittent snoring.

Ban Hua looked around and said, "Surround everyone here and take away all the weapons that can be taken away."

She is not a gentleman, nor is she a famous general. If she can win easily by some means, she will never refuse. This gang leader soldier is the grandson of an old general of the Ban family. On the surface, he has nothing to do with the Ban family, but in fact he is the Ban family's "connection" in the military.

As the leader of the gang, there is no one more suitable than him to drug the food. In addition, the grain and grass are already moldy, so even if there is something wrong with the taste of the food, everyone will only think that there is something wrong with the food, not that there is something wrong with the rice.

The medicine from the head soldier, plus the ones she threw in the granary, were enough for these people to have a good sleep.

I just hope they won’t be too shocked when they wake up tomorrow and find themselves naked and with all their weapons confiscated.

After leaving the military camp, Banhua led her guards back to Qingsong County. However, before entering the city gate, she immediately noticed something was wrong and quickly raised her hand to ask everyone to stop: "Extinguish all the torches. There is something wrong with the city gate."

The guards extinguished the torches one after another, jumped off their horses and moved aside to prevent the archers on the city gate from firing arrows at the place where they had been.

However, there was no rain of arrows falling on the city gate. Instead, someone lit a torch and stood on the city gate;

"The person below...is the princess?"

The voice sounded familiar to Banhua. It seemed to be Zhao Zhong?

She glanced at the guards around her and signaled them not to move. She jogged and changed positions before saying, "It's me."

"Huahua," Rong Xia suddenly appeared on the city gate. He appeared next to the torch and said to the dark city gate, "I'll come down to pick you up."

Ban Hua stared blankly at Rong Xia on the city gate passing by. Soon the city gate opened wide, and Rong Xia came over riding a white horse and wearing golden armor. The red torch illuminated his cheeks. , looks extremely festive.

Ban Hua stood up from the ground, looked at Rong Xian who was looking around with a torch, and couldn't help but said: "I'm here!"

Rong Xia jumped off the horse, walked quickly towards Banhua holding a torch, reached out and touched her cold hand, "Come on, let's go in."

"Are you stupid, risking your life by rushing out like this?" Banhua let him hold her hand, "What if someone takes me hostage and deliberately leads you out, will you still be alive?"

"If they hold you hostage, they hold my life hostage. If I die together with you, it would be nice to be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks."

"Nonsense," Banhua couldn't help but knock on his helmet, "Come on, think about it for a while, let me listen for the sound of water. Is there water?"

After a group of people entered the city, Rong Xia found two soldiers carrying a huge black cloth bag in their hands. He couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances: "What's in here?"

Looks like a human being?

"Oh, I just kidnapped their general."

Rong Xia was stunned, General... Shi Jin?

"What's the use of tying him up? Throw him away," Rong Xia said coldly, "As long as he fails, he will be of no use to the court."

"It's of no use to the court, but it's useful to you," Banhua said sincerely, "This man is somewhat capable, so it would be nice if he could be used by you."

"No!" Rong Xia refused directly.

Banhua:......

What's wrong with this?

Fortunately, the couple did not argue about Shi Jin. Banhua and Rong Xia returned to the temporary residence. She took off her armor and yawned as she lay on the bed, "Why are you here?"

The original plan was not for him to stay and attack Yongzhou, but for her to come to Qingsong County?

"The plan has changed." Rong Xia saw the light bruises under her eyes and touched her eyes distressedly, "You haven't had a good rest these days?"

"Isn't it? My head hurts from looking at the roster and account books," Banhua kicked off her boots and they fell to the ground with a clang. She didn't even bother to take off her socks and said something in a daze. "I'll be relieved if you come," and then fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that she was so tired, Rong Xia took off her socks and wiped her feet with hot water. He found two dazzling blood blisters on the soles of her white and tender feet, so he found one and used wine to kill it. The poisonous silver needle gently broke the blood blisters, and after applying the medicine, she was stuffed into the quilt.

At dawn in the morning, Rong Xia heard movement outside the door, put on her coat and held her shoes and walked out: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Zhong was stunned for a moment when he saw his robe was disheveled and he was holding his shoes, and then said: "My lord, Shi Jin is awake."

"I'll go see him right away."

After Shi Jin woke up, he found himself lying in a room, covered with a clean quilt. He instantly realized that he had been taken away by the rebels.

He sat up on the bed with all his strength. Before he could get off the ground, he saw a soldier push open the door and come in. He glanced at him and left in a hurry.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Rong Xia opened the door and walked in.

Seeing that the person coming was Rong Xia, Shi Jin sneered and said: "Marquis Cheng'an is really talented. He actually came to Qingsong County without concealing the truth. But your greatest skill is not to hide the fact that you came here from King Changqing, but to let a The woman went to the enemy camp to take risks for you."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhong wanted to be explained by Rong Xia, but was interrupted by Rong Xia.

"At this point, I admire myself very much," Rong Xia said with a smile, "If Mr. Shi doesn't like it, I can only ask you to be patient. My wife is so kind to me, and I can't help it. ."

"Are you still a man?" Shi Jin was disgusted with Rong Xia's smug attitude, "Rong Xia, if you were a man, you should protect her and don't let her risk doing such a thing."

"Why should Mr. Shi care about the private affairs between us husband and wife?" Rong Xia raised an eyebrow, "In terms of public affairs, you and I have different identities. In private terms, our two families don't have much personal relations. Master Shi, don't you feel that he has some differences?" Noisy?"

Shi Jin looked a little ugly, and Rong Xia's words made him speechless.

"Master Shi, please be careful in your words and deeds in the future and stop meddling in other people's business," Rong Xia lowered her eyelids, "It would be more appropriate for us to talk about official matters."

His Huahua is disobedient and puts herself in danger. When she wakes up, he will teach her well!
