Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 329 Tit for Tat

Six miles outside Baisha County.

A troop of 500 people had set up camp, and the guard posts were spread out two miles away, and a patrol team was secretly monitoring the situation near the official road.

"It's so clear in my letter, they shouldn't be defenseless, right?"

Ning Wanjun squatted by the fire, rubbing her slightly pale hands.

Although it was cold, her eyes were shining brightly. These days seemed to bring her back to the days of the frontier army. Compared with reading documents in the villa, leading the army was what she should do.

"If they are not stupid, they will definitely send someone to go out to the north gate to check the situation." Qiuyue is also in military uniform at the moment, with a longbow and an air rifle on her back, "But is it really okay, Your Highness? The main direction of attack is fully revealed to the opponent..."

"Otherwise? Taking advantage of the opponent's defenselessness, rushing into the county in one fell swoop, what effect will it have in training troops." Ning Wanjun said disdainfully, "If it is an encounter in the wild, they are not even considered opponents at all, and they can only rely on the city wall With weapons, there is a possibility of a war."

"Your Highness." A guard outside the camp lifted the curtain, and the cold wind caused the fire to shake immediately. "All the people in the city have withdrawn, only five, and a civilian woman with them. Do you want to see them?"

"Let them wait by the campfire, and I'll go right away."

"yes."

Ning Wanjun stood up and put on a thick linen cloak, while Qiuyue tied a neckband on it. Then the princess walked out of the main tent and came to the center of the camp facing the fine snow.

Seeing Ning Wanjun himself, the five members of the secretariat were all startled.

They never expected that the leader who is about to launch an operation against Baisha County is Princess Guangping!

"Meet Her Majesty the Princess!"

The five of them knelt down on one knee and said.

Hearing their names, the woman was stunned for a while, then fell to the ground helplessly, "Cao, Caomin has seen the princess..."

"Get up." Ning Wanjun waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be polite, "Has the notice I asked for been sent to the county magistrate?"

"Return to Your Highness, yes!" Tang Luming, the leader, said excitedly, "The content of the letter is completely according to your request!" To be honest, he also felt that the content of the letter was too childish at first, not only intentionally offending the county magistrate in terms of words, There is also the suspicion of scaring the snake. But since it is the meaning of the princess, then it is completely fine.

She is of royal blood, so what if she pointed at the magistrate's nose and scolded her?

"Is Her Royal Highness, are you here to avenge the grassroots?" The woman stammered, with a nervous but expectant expression on her face.

"That's right." Ning Wanjun nodded slightly, "Don't worry, if it is found out that the wrongdoing is true, none of those murderers will be able to escape."

The lady of Pan's family opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say some words of gratitude, but in the end, the thousands of words turned into hot tears, choked up and flowed into the snow.

When she approached Jinxia's group of outsiders, she also had doubts. After all, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake. If she was not desperate, she would not choose to put all her eggs in one basket.

The moment she got the princess's response, the worries that the lady of the Pan family was full of finally disappeared.

The tears at this moment are both sorrow and relief.

However, the princess noticed that not all the five members of the Bureau were full of joy, and at least two showed slightly awkward smiles, as if they were pretending to be excited.

She smiled silently, not taking this discovery to heart.

Subsequent investigations will be handled by special personnel.

She only needs to focus on the actual combat exercise in front of her.

After all, she spent a lot of time persuading Xia Fan to get this opportunity.

Now it's finally that guy's turn to sit in the villa and review the documents.

...

"What? You said they're all gone?" Qian Zhixian asked loudly.

"That's true." The servant quickly lowered his head and said, "The little one went to the place where the Bureau's signboard is listed, and even tore off the window paper to take a sneak peek. There was no one in the room!"

"Do you know when those guys left?"

"This... I have asked the neighbors, but it was windy and snowy, and no one noticed their movements. I only know that the door of this shop has not been opened since the morning."

"Okay, you go out." After Qian Zhixian waved his servants to retreat, he looked at the three of them in blank dismay. The hot pot is still steaming, but no one is stretching out their chopsticks now. "Everyone—what do you think?"

"Sneaking is pretty fast. It is believed that the arrest of the troops... is too sensational." Master Zhang said with a serious expression, "We all know that the princess has private soldiers. When Jinxia City was attacked by pirates, It was relying on private soldiers to support the arrival of the garrison. The problem is... using private soldiers to deal with a county magistrate? Anyone who dares to say this must be a lunatic."

Haikou and magistrate are not the same thing at all.

If anyone dares to do this, it would be a serious crime to hide his heart and implicate the nine clans if he stabbed into the capital!

Even if it is impossible for the princess to be punished by the clan, she herself cannot escape this catastrophe.

"Could it be that someone intentionally framed Princess Guangping?" The master could only guess in a bold direction, "Or some gangsters and people from the affairs branch colluded to pretend to be Jinxia's people?"

"Impossible! If this is the case, I will definitely get the news in advance." Fei Zhuang shook his head and said, "Well, let's make two-handed plans. While implementing the contents of the letter, we will make preparations for the people below. If this so-called If the apprehension troops really want to come to Baisha City, they will definitely leave footprints on the road."

"I'll arrange someone to investigate immediately." Qian Zhixian nodded in agreement, "No matter who takes the lead in this matter, justice is on my side. No matter what, I will never let them set foot in the county!"

"What if it's really someone from Jinxia City?" The master secretary asked cautiously.

"Then they are no different from the rebels!" The magistrate slammed the table down, "Master Zhang, how many troops can we gather by tomorrow's time?"

The chief secretary stretched out his fingers and quickly counted, "There is a hundred-man team in the government office, and with the addition of government agents and temporary labor labor, it can make up almost three hundred."

"Where are you 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, and their loyalty is guaranteed, but their weapons are not very good, and armor is even rarer..."

"I'll get it from the warehouse." Zhixian said without hesitation. Anyway, he can get it back after lending it out, and as for the loss caused during the toss, he can completely eliminate it by making accounts.

"I will offer five hundred people." Fei Zhuang said in a deep voice. This matter started because of him, if we don't put in more efforts, I'm afraid it will cause a gap. What's more, he is in charge of the Baisha Mine, which usually requires a large number of manpower to supervise the labor, and there are not a few gangster thugs raised in private. It can be said that he alone has the final say on the underground order of Baisha City.

Having said this, Fei Zhuang paused for a moment, and then stretched out two more fingers.

"In addition, my family happens to employ two qi sensers. They are all seasoned Jianghu people, and they are suitable for this kind of scene."

"Oh? That's really good." Hearing this, Qian Zhixian couldn't help but feel affirmed. More than a thousand people can be gathered together, and there are also people who can sense Qi to lead the formation. With the help of the city wall and crossbows, this force is enough to repel twice as much Your own thieves, or tens of thousands of refugees.

Although Jinxia City is big, the arresting team is also a private soldier to put it bluntly, and it cannot be compared with the Shenzhou garrison.

It's impossible for the other party to suddenly move out a few siege equipment against the wind and snow, right?

In the evening, the investigators sent by Qianzhi County finally brought back reliable news - there were indeed signs of a large number of people moving in the northern suburbs of Baisha County!
