The villagers were in an uproar.
Seeing the old village chief being stabbed to death by Yunyao, someone immediately jumped out: "You killed my father! Why did my father offend you? You have to pay with your life!"
As the man spoke, he raised the hoe in his hand and was about to start.
call out!
A long knife flew over and nailed the man to the ground.
Lin Cheng rode forward and pulled out his long knife: "Don't you understand yet? Your village chief is an accomplice of the bandits. The bandits came out to threaten you, but he is inciting you to surrender in the dark. Can't you wake up now?"
As soon as these words came out.
Only then did the villagers remember their usual situation.
Whenever they were about to fight, the village chief would jump out and persuade them to put on their slippers and survive.
Over time, they no longer dared to confront the bandits.
At this moment, when they heard Lin Cheng's words, they realized...it turned out that there was a mole among the senior officials of the village!
Lin Cheng saw everyone calm down.
He then said: "We are following the order of the present princess to send troops to exterminate the bandits in the Pingyun Mountains. Are you willing to lead the way for us?"
"willing!"
Someone jumped out: "I am Orion. I know the location of each cottage. I will take you there."
"I do too!"
Someone else jumped out: "I am a herb collector, and I also know the locations of each cottage."
Immediately afterwards, someone else jumped out.
Princess Yunyao looked at this scene and sighed in her heart... It's not that Zhaoyan has no men, but that the bad guys are all above and in the court.
Subsequently.
Lin Cheng selected a few guides and took them to the Pingyun Mountains.
Within this day.
Under the guidance of a guide.
Lin Cheng defeated several mountain strongholds and killed all the bandits inside.
All the women and children inside were also rescued.
On this day, he received 1,000 destiny coins. As long as he wiped out the remaining bandits, the remaining 4,000 destiny coins would also arrive in his account.
Night falls.
Lin Cheng led his troops to camp in the mountain stronghold and set up tents one by one.
Neither Lin Cheng, nor Princess Yunyao, nor the imperial guards, nor the imperial guards wanted to live in the bandit's house, lest they dirty themselves.
Except for strangling the bandits.
They also obtained a large amount of money. Yunyao did not ask anyone to hand it over, but connived at the imperial guards and Ouchi guards to put it into their pockets.
Lin Cheng praised this very much.
Since the brothers are allowed to suppress bandits at the tip of a knife, they cannot be stingy.
As long as the bandits in the Pingyun Mountains are removed, the people will naturally live a good life, and no one will dare to be a bandit in the next few decades.
Lin Cheng decided to kill everyone in this trip!
Yunyao walked into Lin Cheng's tent carrying a bowl of hot soup.
Lin Cheng raised his head when he heard the noise.
After discovering that it was Princess Yunyao.
He hurriedly drove her out: "My princess, there are many people here, if you come back to Beijing and accuse me of plotting against the princess. If I know this, why don't you kill my nine tribes?"
"You think too much."
Princess Yunyao glanced at Lin Cheng with disdain and took away the hot soup in her hand: "Since you are out, you can take it yourself."
Lin Cheng smiled helplessly.
…
Nothing happened all night.
After everyone had breakfast, they set off again.
Only this time, they found that all the cottages were empty.
"I guess I ran into the mountains to hide after hearing the news." Yunyao held up her long sword and observed the empty village.
"Um."
Lin Cheng nodded. These bandits were not stupid, and they knew they were afraid. He ordered his subordinates: "Set fire to the stronghold and burn it down."
Subsequently.
The sky was filled with fire in the Pingyun Mountains.
The bandits lurking in the dark were filled with hatred when they saw their homes being burned.
But they dared not show their heads.
However, they still underestimated Lin Cheng and Yun Yao's determination.
After a while of discussion.
Lin Cheng left alone and went straight to Huazhou City.
He was riding a fast horse, carrying Princess Yunyao's letter and the imperial concubine's jade token in his arms.
A few hours later.
He returned to Huazhou again and came to the county governor's house by a familiar route.
at this time.
There was a cry in the Sheriff's Mansion.
Lin Cheng walked in and found out after finding the housekeeper... It turned out that a few days ago, the county guard's daughter was kidnapped by a thief in white. When the trace was discovered, her death was extremely embarrassing.
The county guard was angry and followed him.
Lin Cheng was stunned after hearing this.
But then, he had a headache again.
There are five thousand troops in the Huazhou military camp, but now that the county guard is dead, the court will not send a new county guard, and no one in the officialdom of Huazhou can mobilize the army.
There was no other way, Lin Cheng still planned to go to the military camp.
Let’s talk about it later!
If it doesn't work, he just says "OK" to the chief officer.
After half a candle of incense.
Lin Cheng appeared outside the military camp. He stepped forward and greeted him: "Quickly go in and inform your chief officer that the superior officer is here."
Several guards remained motionless.
Lin Cheng had no choice but to say it again.
The other party still pretended not to hear, so Lin Cheng walked inside.
There was a ding.
Several spears were thrust towards Lin Cheng, but he still went to the vital point.
At this moment, even the clay figurine should be a little angry.
What's more, what about Lin Cheng?
Since he couldn't get in, he would fight in.
He is a top-notch expert, but he can still be blocked from the door?
Suddenly.
Several guards guarding the door were knocked out and unable to move, but in an instant, more than a dozen soldiers rushed over.
Still using military formations!
But what they were facing was not an ordinary person, but Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng did not harm anyone, and fought all the way from the gate to the inside of the military camp, facing a military formation composed of hundreds of soldiers.
The military formation is indeed powerful.
These soldiers are just ordinary people, but under the influence of the military formation, they are comparable to several super masters.
As the movement grew louder.
The general in the military camp couldn't hide anymore, so he had to come out and shout to stop.
This general was a middle-aged fat man, but his aura was of a first-class level. He came to Lin Cheng and said, "Who are you? Breaking into the military camp without permission is a capital offense!"
"Let's talk after watching this."
When Lin Cheng saw this person, he threw the letter and token in his arms.
The general had a disdainful attitude, but after seeing the token, his expression changed drastically, and he respectfully opened the envelope and read it.
After a while.
The general put the letter away with a trace of embarrassment on his face: "I have read the princess's private letter, but Zhaoyan has military laws. As a general, I will forgive you for disobeying the order."
"Resist the decree?"
Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What would happen if you were forced?"
The general is indeed a smart man.
He hurriedly said: "If I am forced, the superior officer can naturally take away the troops. This is a special situation."
"good."
Lin Cheng nodded and immediately punched him.
The fat general stretched out his hand and punched him, and the two collided.
Since Lin Cheng had two strands of true energy in his body, his strength was far superior to that of the same level. He could knock the fat general back a dozen steps with one punch.
A trace of surprise flashed across the face of the fat general, but he still reminded him: "If you are of this strength, you cannot force me to do so."
"hehe."
Lin Cheng chuckled lightly and used his palm to make a knife.
All of a sudden!
The solitary smoke of the desert was displayed by him.
The fat general thought Lin Chengru was like that just now, so he took it casually, but then, his expression changed drastically.
Bang.
Like a rubber ball, he was hit by Lin Cheng more than ten feet away.
