315 , Yunjia Yunxu
In the next few days, the dandy from Pingjing finally lived a painful and painful life. In this deep mountains and forests that are not many miles away, there is no house or even a tent. If you want to sleep, you can only build a thatched house or just cover the sky. Gone are the days of preparing meals in a special kitchen. Only a small amount of dry food and water are provided every day. If you want to eat enough, you have to find another way. Then there are various trainings every day. Although each has its own training and each has its own hardships, the pain is the same.
On the third day, some people couldn't stand it and wanted to escape, but unfortunately they failed the escape skill and were caught by the master after they hung it on the tree to show their public.
Another night, I ran out and encountered a wild beast. I was scared to tears on the spot. When the master was taken back, I cried and cried. At first, I could hear someone crying almost every night, and Chu Ling didn't care about continuing to live a leisurely and leisurely life with Jun Wuhuan. Occasionally, I processed the files and various news sent from the fast horses in the capital. The free and easy life made people feel a little happy.
Until someone came to disturb the tranquility here.
At noon that day, the dandy who had just finished training was lying on the ground to rest. This was also the only time they could get together to communicate. Although there was time at night, the dandy who had been tired all day returned to their territory and just wanted to lie down and sleep immediately. Who wanted to communicate with a group of stinky men?
"So tired..."
"it hurts!"
“So hungry…”
"Why did we come here at the beginning?"
"What else can I do if I have come?" If I run away, it will be miserable if I am caught. Even if I am not caught, it will be even more miserable if I am eaten by wild animals.
"When I learn the skills..."
"Then learn it before talking about it."
Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan stood far and near and looked at the balls of human-shaped objects on the ground, and smiled and said, "How is it?"
Jun Wuhuan frowned slightly and thought for a while and said, "It's okay." If the progress of these people is compared with A Ling in the past, it will naturally be equal to nothing. But compared with ordinary people, they are still quite reasonable. Even if they are not outstanding, they are at least qualified. Especially these playboys are quite aware of the current affairs. If they know that they will not be striking against you, they will find ways to save the country in a curve. Regardless of whether they can save them or not, at least this attitude of knowing the current affairs is still worthy of praise. Moreover, after these days, none of them fell down, which is a bit beyond Jun Wuhuan's expectations.
"After all, they are young, and as long as they have a strong mind and can always survive." Chu Ling said, Jun Wuhuan looked at her, "Are you afraid that they will run away after they finish learning?" Chu Ling smiled and said, "After they finish learning, how many people can return to their original life?" They are all young people, and after seeing a more gorgeous, dazzling, exciting and interesting life, how could they still be willing to live a mediocre life? If there were such a person, he would never come here from the beginning.
Jun Wuhuan smiled indifferently, "I'll wait and see."
"Princess, Young Master Changli!" Not far away, a figure rushed towards this side quickly. Before they got closer, they saw clearly that it was Xue Yuan. The two looked at each other, and Chu Ling smiled and said, "It seems that something was wrong with Lu Ding." Jun Wuhuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Maybe he has completed the mission."
Chu Ling said: "I have told Xue Yuan that if you complete the task, you will go back to the capital directly and don't need to find me." So, since Xue Yuan appears here, something must have happened.
"Princess." Xue Yuan stopped in front of the two of them and gasped, saying, "What happened to Deputy General Lu."
Chu Ling was not surprised, just asked, "What's wrong?"
Xue Yuan said: "Person General Lu and others...uh, they were captured."
Chu Ling couldn't help laughing out loud, "Being captured? It's really good." Xue Yuan was a little embarrassed and considered whether she wanted to ask for something for Lu Ding and others, but she gave up when she saw that the princess didn't seem very angry.
Chu Ling said, "Then go and have a look, are you going?" He looked up at Jun Wuhuan. Jun Wuhuan thought for a while and said, "There is nothing to do in the past two days, let's go together." It's not far away anyway, so just think it's just accompanying A Ling for a walk. Chu Ling nodded and sighed, "This palace's life is so rich and damn." It's enough to be a bandit, and now it's time to suppress bandits.
The place where Lu Ding and others were sent to suppress the bandits was not far away, just on a mountain in the southwest corner of Chu Ling's fief. It is naturally a bit capable of entrenching in such a place close to the capital. This place was not originally under Chu Ling's jurisdiction, but in fact it was no longer within the scope of her fief. However, in order to find a job for Lu Ding and others, Chu Ling only found such a suitable place, so he had to communicate with Emperor Yongjia and talk to Feng Zheng. Emperor Yongjia and Feng Zheng both agreed to let the princess deal with this matter, so it was naturally justified.
The group left the mountain and rode all the way wildly, and it was not until the next afternoon that the Shenyou Army was stationed. At this time, the Five Hundred Shenyou Army was already in chaos and had a low morale. No matter what he thought about Chu Ling, he was relieved.
"Have you seen the princess!" A young captain with wounds came forward to salute. He was one of the two captains who came out with Lu Ding, and is also the supreme commander of the five hundred people at present.
Chu Ling nodded and asked, "How many people have been damaged?"
The captain's face turned pale and said, "I've injured more than a hundred people, no, no one was killed."
Chu Ling nodded and asked with a smile: "Do you know why no one was killed?"
The captain bowed his head and said nothing. Of course he knew why? During the fight, he could clearly feel that the other party showed mercy. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that many people would be killed or injured this time. Chu Ling didn't make things difficult for him and asked, "What's wrong with Lu Ding?" The captain said, "We fell into the trap of the other party. General Lu asked us to retreat quickly. When the rear was cut off, he was captured by the other party...."
Jun Wuhuan asked, "Can you be sure that people are still alive?"
The captain looked up at Jun Wuhuan in surprise, and Jun Wuhuan said lightly: "If you die, you will naturally have a way of playing if you die, and if you live, you will have a way of playing if you live."
The captain stuttered: "We see... the general was captured alive and not dead."
Chu Ling looked at Xue Yuan next to him, and Xue Yuan whispered: "I have investigated secretly, and those bandits should not have hurt Deputy General Lu."
Chu Ling nodded and said, "That's good. Let's get the soldiers up, rest first, and let's talk about it tomorrow."
The captain was a little worried, "Princess, that general Lu..." Chu Ling said, "Since the other party did not kill Lu Ding before, he would not be in danger now. Let the people below take a good rest first, and let me talk about anything tomorrow!" In the last sentence, Chu Ling's voice had a little cold and hard smell. The captain was stunned and quickly bowed, "Yes, princess!"
Late at night, Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan stood side by side in front of a hill to observe the mountains in the distance. The mountain in front of them actually had nothing strange and had no name. If there weren't a group of bandits on this mountain, the place would have been so unknown. The origins and identities of these bandits were unknown, only knowing that they suddenly appeared here a few years ago. They usually did not harm the people around them, but only occasionally robbed some passing businesses and travelers. What's strange is that no one has ever reported to the looted business travelers. So for a long time, the government did not know that there were more bandits in this place.
If someone hadn't lost several trucks of goods on this road at the end of last year and reported it to the official, I'm afraid no one would have known it until now.
Chu Ling was a little curious and asked, "Why do you think those who were robbed don't protect the officials?" If it were one or two, maybe they were unwilling to provoke these bandits or they didn't believe that the government would take care of them at all. After all, the government really doesn't care about these things these days, unless it's a very bad thing, the main responsibility of the imperial guards is not to suppress the bandits. But these bandits have been entrenched here for two or three years, and it's impossible for them to only rob them once or twice, right?
Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "Maybe... they are not convenient for reporting to the official."
"Hmm?" Chu Ling was a little puzzled. Jun Wuhuan said softly: "A Ling, even if it is Lingxiao Trading Company, if some goods are occasionally lost, they will only find a way to solve them privately instead of reporting to the officials and attracting a group of officers and soldiers to solve them." Chu Ling realized instantly and said: "You mean, these goods cannot be seen in people?"
Jun Wuhuan nodded.
What goods are not something you can’t see in people these days?
There are really a lot of food, salt and iron, weapons, some special medicinal materials, tributes, etc. when you think about it.
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean is that these bandits specifically rob these goods that cannot be seen?"
Jun Wuhuan said: "I can only explain this way. It's impossible for the people they robbed them willingly to give the goods to them, right?"
Chu Ling touched his chin and said, "The people who can do these non-spoken businesses should be very powerful behind them, right?"
Jun Wuhuan said: "What if they were holding someone else's hand?"
"It seems that I can only think so." Chu Ling said.
Jun Wuhuan said: "Do you want to go up the mountain to take a look?"
Chu Ling smiled, "Do you think so too?"
"I'm just a little curious." I'm curious about who can do such things at the foot of the emperor without being discovered.
"Then let's go."
This mountain is not very high, but the road is not easy to walk on. But naturally these could not stop experts like Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan. The two of them went up the mountain and found many secret whistles and mechanisms when they reached the hillside. Jun Wuhuan frowned slightly and said, "There are experts on this mountain."
Chu Ling said: "Isn't the master unable to stop Mr. Changli?" He is indeed a master. Chu Ling also felt that these secret whistles and the mechanism were set up quite cleverly. However, it was still a little worse to intercept them, but such arrangements were enough to stop most people who intend to sneak in.
Jun Wuhuan held Chu Ling's hand with one hand and said as he walked up the mountain: "I always think this looks familiar."
"Are you know?"
Jun Wuhuan shook his head and said, "I'll know when I go up."
The two climbed all the way up the mountain, and after half an hour, they finally arrived at the mountaintop hidden in the tall and dense jungle. Some secret sentries and mechanisms were arranged around the mountain, but not many. Chu Ling felt that this bandit camp should not be big, so the other party could not set up more posts, otherwise it would be even more difficult to deal with.
The two avoided the guards in front of the village gate and turned to the rear and easily crossed the fence made of sharpened wood.
Chu Ling stood on a high place and glanced at the entire village. Sure enough, there were only a dozen houses, and they were not big. He pointed to the front and said, "It should be where the head of the village live." Jun Wuhuan nodded with a smile and said, "Go over and take a look."
It was already late at night, and the whole village was quiet and the fire was vaguely visible. The two of them walked leisurely in the village and soon arrived at the location where Chu Ling pointed. It was a house that was no different from other houses, but it was in the center of the village, and there were two small houses next to it, looking like a house guarding the middle.
The two of them did not rush to get closer and stood in the darkness and looked carefully. Sure enough, Chu Ling saw that the person in the hut next to him was not resting. In the half-open window, a figure could be seen vaguely in the darkness. The other party seemed to be sitting. As for why the other party sat in the darkness in the middle of the night, it was obviously to wait for them.
The two looked at each other, and Chu Ling made a gesture to Jun Wuhuan.
You one, me one.
Jun Wuhuan nodded with a smile, "Be careful."
The two figures quietly rushed towards the cottage ahead. Chu Ling stood on the corner of the wall, listening to the person inside breathing calmly, obviously a martial arts practitioner. He turned his head and thought for a while, thinking, thinking that the other party's strength should not be too strong, otherwise she would not have arrived before she noticed it.
His eyes turned slightly and flashed in the window. A person suddenly appeared in the window, which naturally alarmed the other party. In the darkness, he could only see his eyes. The man immediately stood up and wanted to call someone. At the same time, he rushed towards Chu Ling. Chu Ling did not give him this opportunity. The man had just stood up and had time to make a pounce forward. He felt a pain in his chest, and his words were choked back. Chu Ling flashed into the room and quickly put the other party on the ground.
One hand pinched the other person's neck, and the other hand pressed the other fist that the other person waved towards him. Chu Ling looked down at the pair of eyes that were burning with raging rage.
"Don't move." Chu Ling laughed in a low voice.
The woman's voice stunned the other party again, and forgot to struggle for a while. Then Chu Ling reached out and quickly tapped a few acupoints on him and stood up.
Chu Ling did this series of actions without caring about Jun Wuhuan on the other side. Jun Wuhuan's strength was far above her, so it was naturally easier to solve the people inside. After dealing with the person on the ground, Chu Ling turned around and walked out. Sure enough, he saw Jun Wuhuan standing under the eaves opposite, looking at her with a smile.
Under the faint moonlight, Young Master Changli was wearing a blue cloth dress and smiled extremely gentlely.
The two met and smiled, and walked towards the room in the middle.
The room was still on at this time, and a man appeared on the window, and it was obvious that the other party had not yet rested.
Chu Ling raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
It was quiet inside, and after a while someone spoke, "Come in, please come in."
Jun Wuhuan frowned, and the figure was indeed very familiar.
Chu Ling pushed open the door, and in the somewhat simple room, there was a young man who looked like he was 27 or 28 years old. The man looked handsome and smiling, and a faint warm feeling in his eyes. It made people feel good at seeing him. Chu Ling frowned slightly, and this man looked a little like...
"So it's you." Jun Wuhuan had already spoken first, and his voice was still calm and seemed not surprising.
The man nodded slightly to him and said with a smile: "It's me."
Chu Ling looked at the two of them with some suspicion and asked, "I know?"
Jun Wuhuan pulled Chu Ling into the room and said, "Yun's family, Yun Xu, Yun Mengzhi."
"Is he Yun Yi's second brother?" Chu Ling looked at the young man in front of him in surprise. Are all the young men from famous families popular among them nowadays popular?
The young man nodded slightly and smiled, "It turns out that the princess also knows her younger brother."
He is really Yun Yi’s second brother? Baili Qinghong’s younger brother.
Jun Wuhuan pulled Chu Ling to the table in front of Yun Xu and sat down, and asked, "How long have you been here?"
Yun Xu looked at the fire in front of him and smiled and said, "It's been almost half a year." In other words, he has been here shortly after the Yun family was destroyed. No wonder so many people can't find the whereabouts of this person. Who can be as bright as the second son of the Baili family who is so glorious that he will fall into robbery and hide in a bandit nest for a bandit?
Yun Xu looked at the two with interest, "Two, are you going to suppress the bandits?" Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan looked at each other, and Chu Ling smiled and said, "It is still possible to discuss whether to suppress the bandits. After all, since Young Master Yun is Yun Yi's brother, I always have to give him some face."
Yun Xu said: "That kid has grown up after he went out. He can actually make the princess sell him face. It's great."
Chu Ling said: "So... what did Mr. Yun think?"
Yun Xu looked at Chu Ling for a moment before saying lightly: "I know what the princess wants, but I have a condition."
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows, "Please say."
Yun Xu glanced at Jun Wuhuan in surprise before looking at Chu Ling again, "The princess responded so readily, aren't you afraid that I, a lion, wouldn't you be afraid of opening my mouth?"
Chu Ling smiled and said, "Young Master Yun is a smart person. Since you speak, it must be something I am afraid of being able to do, right?"
Yun Xu lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "What the princess said is."
