There is a bright moon in the sky, and a few scattered stars in the deep sky. Autumn lotus with a cold air into the house, will still be sleeping jujube shake awake.
When jujube opened his eyes, Qiuhe said: "princess, Yin guard said that the army would soon gather."
Jujube looked outside, some hesitant to ask: "this midnight to Pingdingshan bandits?"
Qiu He shook his head and said, "this is not clear. Big princess, since the guard said to let you get up, you should get up quickly! " These people, including Qiu He, are convinced of Yin Zhaofeng. There must be a point in his saying so.
At this, jujube got up. After washing and changing clothes, jujube and jujube said to Qiuhe, "go and invite Yin escort."
Yin Zhaofeng saw jujube and said, "I just heard a sound from the barracks. I guess they are going to fight bandits in Pingdingshan overnight. That's why it's time to wake up the princess. "
Jujube frowned and said, "if they go to suppress bandits, why don't they send someone to inform me?" Yesterday, I said that I would take her to suppress bandits. Now I don't notice her. This is to play her as a monkey!
"Just now someone has come to inform me," said Yin After that, Yin Zhaofeng added, "they will come to inform us, and they will also see that we have a move here."
Hearing this, Zao was a little annoyed: "you mean that if we don't move here, they won't come to inform us?" Since she promised to take part in the bandit suppression, now she does such a small action, it's really not good.
Yin Zhaofeng disagreed with Zao Zao's saying: "if we don't notice such a big movement in the army, it means that we have a poor sense of vigilance. How can they take the princess with them? Princess, the danger of suppressing bandits is no less than that of fighting. Just because you are good at martial arts doesn't mean you are suitable for fighting. " The only difference is that the number of bandits is small, and they can ensure the safety of jujube.
Jujube heard this very discontented to say: "in the end, they still think I will drag on."
Yin Zhaofeng said in a matter of fact way, "princess, I don't say you are a daughter, but that you are only 13 years old. Normally, no one will let you go to war." He is too young and inexperienced. Whether he goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy or to suppress bandits, he may hold his back. Jujube can get the chance because she is the king's daughter.
After that, Yin Zhaofeng looked at the jujube and said, "princess, the prince and the princess promised you to come to Guangxi, mainly for you to learn and increase your knowledge, not for you to build military skills."
"Don't worry, I won't act rashly," said jujube Her mother is a man of her word. If she breaks her promise to her, she may be detained at home forever and wait for her marriage. It's also because she was afraid that Du Zheng would not let her go to the battlefield. She just tried to find a way to talk about Du Zheng, but did not dare to do anything else.
Yin Zhaofeng said with a voice: "the princess has something to eat. I think it's about a quarter of an hour at most." Take advantage of the night to rush to pingdingshanxia before dawn.
After a while, the summer solstice brought food. It's easy to eat in the army, let alone it's midnight. Except for a plate of steamed bread, there is only one plate of pickled vegetables and two eggs. These two eggs are still because jujube is the princess. They are extra. Others only have steamed bread and salted vegetables.
Just after eating these things, I heard someone outside shouting to assemble. Jujube went out in a suit of armor and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Zhang Qian was also greedy at the armor of jujube. However, he knew that he could not get such a good armor: "big princess, we will start when the soldiers and horses gather." A good armour on the battlefield means an extra life.
Jujube nodded his head and asked, "this time I'm going to the mountain. The mountain road is rugged. Can I ride a horse?" If she could not ride, she would walk with them.
Hearing this, Zhang Qian hurriedly said, "you can ride a horse, but the horse will be placed at the foot of the mountain." After a pause, Zhang Qian explained, "it's more than 40 Li from here to Pingdingshan." He was afraid that jujube could not walk so far in this thick armor. It's now the day of May. If you wait until June and wear such a suit of armor, you must die of heat.
Jujube this just nodded.
Jujube asked Zhang Qian in a low voice: "we have so many people going up the mountain, are we going to beat the grass and frighten the snake?" There must be watchmen on this mountain.
"The scouts have been sent," said Zhang Qian But scouts can only solve some people, not all. If you want to kill the bandits in Pingdingshan, you have to fight hard. That's why he brought all the people here.
A group of people came to the foot of Pingding Mountain, it was still dark. All the horses were put under the care of a specially assigned person. Jujube followed Zhang Qian up the mountain to suppress bandits. Because there is a guide, you won't get lost.
Walking on the rugged mountain road, looking at the lush mountains and forests, jujube face is a little dignified. This kind of terrain is good for bandits. They can use it as a cover and escape.
After walking for half an hour, it was already bright. At this time, Zhang Qian told jujube, "it's only two miles away from Langya stronghold. Princess, I can't take care of you when I enter the stronghold. Please take good care of yourself. "
Jujube is very angry. Although yesterday's competition with Zhang Qian failed, he still despised himself. In fact, jujube does not think about her identity, even Du Zheng has scruples, let alone Zhang Qian.
"Don't worry, Zhang Qianhu, I will protect the princess," said Yin Zhaofeng
Zhang Qian nodded and said, "thank you, bodyguard Yin." Yin Zhaofeng is a military officer of Wupin. His rank is no lower than that of Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian knew this very well.
Jujube heart no longer uncomfortable, this time did not say a word. As Yin Zhaofeng said, people will doubt that she is normal. If you want to really accept her, you have to show your true ability.
Because in my heart, I hold a breath. When I enter the stronghold, jujube is very brave. Yin Zhaofeng doesn't stop jujube from killing bandits. With Jujube's skill and armor, as long as no one secretly shoots cold arrows, jujube won't be in danger. As for the possibility of injury, this is not in Yin Zhaofeng's consideration. Since we are going this way, it is inevitable to get hurt again.
The date covered with blood on the armor came to Zhang Qian and asked, "I heard that the bandit leader black wolf escaped? Did you escape alone or with your wife and children? "
Zhang Qian nodded: "the black wolf escaped with two confidants." It means that his wife and children have been abandoned by the black wolf. However, the black wolf's wife is also the daughter of the official family. He is not willing to follow him when he takes advantage of her to be the wife of the stronghold.
Jujube said, "if you want to issue a wanted order, you must catch him." This black wolf burned, looted, raped, raped, raped and plundered, and did no evil. Such a person who did not kill was not enough to pacify the people's indignation.
Zhang Qian nodded, "I will inform Ma county magistrate and ask him to issue a wanted order." It's not his business.
Jujube thought under said: "Zhang Qianhu, that village's women and children are going to deal with?" The bandits in Pingdingshan want to show their heads to the public. First, they want to reassure the people and second, they want to act as a deterrent.
"It's up to the county magistrate of Ma County," said Zhang Qian These women and children will not be killed by the government, but their fate will not be better.
See jujube also want to open mouth Yin Zhaofeng coughed and said: "big princess, although most of the bandits are killed, but there are still many things to deal with later. What can I do for you, princess? I'll talk to Zhang Qianhu at night. "
After Zhang Qian left, Yin Zhaofeng said, "you are only a vice Wei from Qipin now, princess. You are not qualified to give directions to Zhang Qianhu." That's quite rude. However, Yin Zhaofeng knows the nature of jujube. If she doesn't speak so frankly, she won't listen at all.
"I just want to know how to deal with those women and children," he said
Yin Zhaofeng has been with jujube for so many years and knows her temperament: "do you think these women and children are innocent and should be implicated?"
Jujube didn't talk.
Yin Zhaofeng knew that his guess was right. Looking at jujube, he said: "last year, the princess cleaned Jiangnan, killed thousands of people and exiled nearly ten thousand people. But there are only a few hundred people involved in the crime, and the rest are implicated. Do you think it's cruel for the princess to do so? "
Jujube looked at Yin Zhaofeng badly and said, "how dare you criticize my mother?" Jujube date can't hear others speak ill of Yuxi.
Yin Zhaofeng said: "I'm not criticizing the princess. I just want to tell the princess that no one in the world is innocent. No matter the wives and children of these bandits, or the women, children and clansmen of those families in the south of the Yangtze River, since they enjoy the rich food and clothing brought by their husbands and families, they will naturally pay a price for it. "
Jujube - nothing. After a while, jujube said: "I know."
The bandits in Pingdingshan robbed and robbed a lot of money. However, in addition to some of the ill gotten money, the black wolf gave it to his subordinates, and most of it was used to buy food and weapons, so there was not much loot this time. Of course, this is not much just relative to what they expected.
Hearing that Zhang Qian wanted to share the spoils of jujube and jujube, Agan said: "adult, isn't it appropriate?" It's not that they shouldn't be given, but that they are afraid of being disgusted by jujube.
Zhang Qian said, "there is nothing wrong. In those days, when the Lord took people to suppress bandits, he also took out some of the spoils and distributed them to the people. " If you don't give me some sweetness, who would like to fight with his life.
Agan hesitated and said, "my Lord, did you say that the princess really killed twelve bandits?" This is not a large number, but it is not a small number compared with the 13-year-old princess.
Zhang Qiandao: "a group of people led by the great princess killed nearly 100 bandits. If the great princess wanted to take credit, why only report this number?" This time, because of the team with dates, the number of casualties in the army was much less than he expected. It's also for this reason that he will try to get rid of all the people's opinions and distribute one fifth of the spoils to jujube.
"Ah Gen said:" my Lord, what if the big Princess doesn't want the spoils It's an unwritten rule to share some of the spoils. But after all, it can't be put on the table.
Zhang Qian said with a smile, "you don't have to worry about it. Even if the princess doesn't want it, I believe Lord Yin will persuade her to accept it." The Lord gave all his bodyguards to the princess. It can be seen that he took great pains.
Jujube looked at the gold and silver sent by Zhang Qian, but he said coldly, "how dare they divide the spoils?"
When Yin Zhaofeng saw this, he immediately said, "no matter in fighting or in suppressing bandits, some of the spoils will be taken out and distributed to the people. It's the rule. The prince and the princess know that."
Jujube dates are mixed in the front yard for years,
