Chapter 49 Night Attack ()

The government officials formed a team of ten, holding weapons and trembling, and went to explore the way in the forest. Seeing that they were far away and nothing could be heard by the soldiers, the government officials started to complain with a grimace.

"It's all Mr. Cai who neglected the princess and made the princess very angry. He directly led his own soldiers to suppress the bandits. We also suffered the same misfortune."

"Isn't that true? Mr. Cai is hiding safely in the county government office. We are going to explore the way in the forest. The bandits in Heisong Village are all evil-minded. If they really want to fight against each other, what can we do?"

"I work as a errand to get money and food to support my family. I don't want to die here."

The leader of this team of government officials was a man in his thirties. He glared at him angrily: "Bah, bah, bah, crow's mouth! What nonsense are you talking about! Let's just hang around here and go back to do business after dark. .”

The yamen servants are all seasoned, they understand everything as soon as they hear it, and they respond in all directions.

It takes time to fish in the water, and everyone can do this.

It's a pity that God does not follow people's wishes. After walking for a short distance, they met a group of bandits who were out of the village to patrol the mountains.

The little boss felt nervous. Of the ten people on my side, three looked like they couldn't wield a sword, and two were from related households who entered the county government through the back door. Only five of them could actually wield a sword against the enemy. There are about twenty opponents, and they will definitely not be able to defeat them.

Run away!

These two words flashed through the little leader's mind, he blew his whistle hard, and then shouted: "Everyone, retreat quickly!" The government officials hurriedly retreated and fled.

The other side's bandits were chasing after him as if they had drunk chicken blood. One of the government officials was in panic and tripped. The bandits chased him and slashed his neck with a knife.

Ah!

The screams startled a flock of birds.

Ah!

Another scream came into my ears along with the piercing sound of the knife cutting into the body.

The hair on the little leader's back stood up, he didn't dare to look back, he kept his head down and ran faster, blowing the bamboo whistle faster and louder. I prayed in my heart that reinforcements would come soon.

This group of bandits were ordered to go out on patrol to kill people. They saw blood on their knives and became more ferocious. They caught up with their knives while grinning ferociously. The government officials were not all wimps. One of the young government officials was quite bloody. He ran away for a few steps and saw that he could not escape. He gritted his teeth and turned around to fight desperately, and actually killed one of them.

Unfortunately, the other government officials did not stop fighting alongside him, and each one escaped faster.

This young government officer in his twenties brandished a knife at the enemy while yelling: "You cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Two fists were no match for four hands, and the young government officer's left arm and back were soon injured. It's hard for him to survive on his own, and if he continues at this rate, he will soon die.

Just when the young government officer was desperate, a sharp arrow flew towards him and hit a bandit in the chest. Immediately afterwards, a dozen strong elite soldiers rushed over.

In the guard camp, they eat well and sleep well all year round. They train every day. Everyone is highly skilled and has sharp weapons in their hands. Just like chopping melons and vegetables, three bandits will fall when they meet each other.

The bandits suddenly became confused and fled in all directions. The soldiers immediately caught up, leaving two alive and killing the rest.

The young government servant felt relieved and almost cried.

The little leader of the soldiers came over and slapped the young government servant on the shoulder: "Well done to you, come with me to see the princess!"

The young government officer had several wounds on his body and was bleeding profusely. He fell down immediately after being slapped like this.

Soldiers: "..."

An hour later.

This group of soldiers dragged two tied up bandits and carried the bloody government servant out of the forest.

When Jiang Shaohua heard that two people had been arrested alive, he frowned and said to Qin Zhan: "General Qin went to interrogate him personally to find out the location and terrain of Heisongzhai."

Naturally, the princess does not need to worry about rough work such as torture and interrogation. Qin Zhan accepted the order happily.

Jiang Shaohua then ordered Sun Guangbai, who was accompanying him, "I'd like to ask Dr. Sun, please, to diagnose and treat the injured yamen servant."

Sun Guangbai immediately responded and hurried away carrying a large medicine box.

According to Imperial Physician Sun, Sun Guangbai should stay in his study for the past few months, studying medical books and preparing for the Imperial Medical Examination in July. However, the princess brought her own soldiers to Li County to suppress the bandits, so she could not live without a doctor. Imperial Physician Sun was on an errand and had to treat Xiaotian's mother with acupuncture, so she asked Sun Guangbai and Sun Zelan to come together.

It was getting dark quickly.

Most of the camp was built, and the direction facing the mountain forest was blocked by tall trees and fences. The other side will have to wait until tomorrow to build it.

The soldiers who went into the mountains to hunt also came back and had a good harvest. They hunted a nest of rabbits, six goats, four deer, three deer, and two wild boars.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and ordered: "Put away all the game and let the cooks cook the meat and make soup quickly so that everyone can have a warm meal."

The cooks had set up the stove early, and twenty large pots were lined up. Large pieces of meat were put into the pot and cooked over high heat, and soon the aroma of meat came out.

After all the soldiers had eaten and drank enough, they went to find the military tents to sleep.

Jiang Shaohua's military tent is in the middle.

Yin Zhu Tubai brought hot water and helped the princess wash up and go to bed. When we are out on the march, there are not so many details. The two maids sleep on the same bed as the princess.

"The princess has suffered." Yin Zhu whispered distressedly: "This camp is full of men, snoring like thunder."

Tu Bai felt sad in his heart: "It was just in the post house last night, but tonight it's just a simple military tent, and I can't even isolate the sound."

Jiang Shaohua smiled casually: "It's okay, I'll get used to it gradually."

Yinzhu Tubai: "..."

Listening to the princess’s words, will you often lead troops out in the future?

Jiang Shaohua looked at the two pairs of wide-open eyes and said calmly: "You are all my closest people, and I don't want to hide it from you. You two, it's best to adapt as soon as possible. If you can't adapt, tell me as soon as possible... …”

Yinzhu interrupted the master hurriedly: "Princess, stop talking. Wherever the princess goes, the servant will go."

Tu Bai straightened his chest and said, "Same goes for you, slave."

The butter candle was bright, illuminating two little red faces. Two pairs of eyes sparkling.

Jiang Shaohua's heart felt slightly hot, and he reached out to grab Yin Zhu Tubai's hand and said seriously: "Okay, no matter when, where, or what situation we encounter in the future, the three of us will be together."

Yin Zhu Tu Bai nodded vigorously.

The master and servant rested their heads on each other and whispered for a while. Yinzhu yawned and fell asleep in a daze. Tu Bai forced his eyes to open wide.

Jiang Shaohua laughed: "Go to sleep! You have to get up early tomorrow."

Tubai hummed and closed his eyes to sleep.

It was late at night, and the camp was filled with snoring like thunder. Jiang Shaohua listened quietly for a moment, feeling tired slowly.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden strange sound outside the camp.

Crack, crackle!

The sharp bamboo whistle almost pierced the eardrums.

"Fire! Enemy attack!"

Jiang Shaohua suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and got down, picked up the sword from the table, and walked out of the military tent quickly.
