"Protect the prince~!"
"Shield array!"
Chen Shou's panic could not affect Qin Zaiming's on-the-spot performance, but it did not affect the leader of the village with his severed hand at all.
This seemingly crazy person is the village leader of Erlong Mountain. It was originally said that he was a small boss. He took the position of village leader through a fierce battle. It was also under his operation that Erlong Mountain became bigger and stronger.
"Get out of the way, I want to do justice for heaven and kill that woman from the Western Region, she is a witch!"
These words made the hunted woman become the focus of the audience. She looked very different from the women in the Central Plains. She must be a enchanting 'demon'.
"No way?"
The woman from the Western Region happened to fall into Li Ke's arms, it was too timely. She also had a strange aroma on her body, which was not like perfume or rouge, but like the smell of some kind of chemical.
At this time, there is only one village owner in Erlong Mountain. Even if he is really possessed by the God of War, Qin Zaiming's elite soldiers and the officers and soldiers who are constantly going up the mountain, do he still want to kill everything?
"It should be fine..."
Before Chen Shou could report that he was safe, he saw a woman coming around behind the leader of the village. She was cut into two pieces with a knife. Qin Zaiming took action. The two were very close in martial arts, but the leader of the village was too persistent and tried to break through the shield array several times. Enter.
In the end, they ended up with a very miserable ending. Their heads were chopped off with a knife, and Erlongshan was almost wiped out. But it was too weird, especially because they didn't know why they killed each other. The leader of the village was obsessed with hunting down a woman from the Western Regions.
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty. Thanks to your personal leadership, this group of bandits was wiped out. Your Majesty..."
Chen Shou gave all kinds of compliments, which just made Li Ke feel disgusted.
It was Qin Zaiming and his subordinates who really suppressed the bandits. Although they only killed and captured a dozen of Erlong Mountain's minions, the largest bandit trouble in Qizhou was completely eliminated. As usual, their bodies were nailed to the tree. to warn other bandits.
Li Ke listened to the supervisor's report. There were more than a thousand bandits in Erlong Mountain, but they were only worth a few hundred taels. Even if they sold the stolen goods, they would only be worth a few thousand taels. This group of people could really make a living.
The officers and soldiers came in and out, picking out slightly intact bodies, mainly to hang them on trees as warnings. This bloody scene was really unforgettable. Dead people are normal, but they died so suddenly. There are many people, and it is all caused by their own fighting. It seems that no matter how you explain it, it is wrong.
"Can't you find out what's going on? There are quite a few people who have died in your hands. What's the reason for them to fight like this?"
Qin Zaiming came over and was questioned. After all, no matter how knowledgeable Li Ke was, he was not as good as the military commander in front of him who specialized in killing people and making meritorious deeds. Now he was more interested in unraveling the cause of the fight at Erlong Mountain.
"The last general is stupid, and it is definitely not for money and women. It is like being possessed by evil spirits in folklore, and there are even more evil spells in the Western Regions, so the last general thinks that the woman cannot survive, maybe..."
"Evil magic? Qin Zaiming, after you have killed so many people, are you still afraid of ghosts coming to seduce their souls? Or do you think I am easier to fool? The magic of the Western Regions is nonsense!"
Li Ke is still a staunch atheist, but it is really difficult to explain clearly what happened in Erlong Mountain. The ancients explained all the weird things as ghosts and gods. The Western Regions were too mysterious for the Tang Dynasty, and the woman seemed a little evil.
The Erlong Mountain incident was solved inexplicably like this. Now we can only use this incident for publicity to make the nearby bandits more afraid. We still need professionals to suppress the bandits. It's time to return to Licheng.
Most of the rescued women were from nearby prefectures and counties, so most of them were escorted home by cavalry. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, and women who lost their virginity were not targeted, and the stolen goods were used as compensation for them, even if they did not marry. He can also live a better life. This is the only thing Li Ke can do.
"Girl Qingcui, just go back with them. Even if you are no longer sentimental, maybe..."
"If you want to follow the King of Shu, you can even work as a cow or a horse. I have a family, but they will cut off contact because of my willfulness. I thought I was entrusting me to a good man, but he abandoned me and ran away alone. .”
She is a woman who has been thoroughly injured, and Li Ke can only take her with her. Anyway, there is no shortage of work in the palace, so she can take it back and become a female worker, but the carriage driver doesn't know how to deal with it well.
On the way back, the soldiers were discussing the differences between women in the Western Regions, and even had some obscene words and deeds. If it weren't for Qin Zaiming's majesty, perhaps these people would have said even more obscene things, and the large group of people moved towards Licheng.
Due to Chen Shou's advance publicity, everyone in Licheng knew about the King of Shu's annihilation of Erlong Mountain. He carried out desperate marketing of the achievements, almost portraying Li Ke as the God of War descending to earth. The four major families sneered. After all, the two sides already had interests. Several conflicts.
Li Shimin and Queen Changsun walked and stopped all the way. They returned to Chang'an from the north of Qizhou. They also helped poor people along the way. At the same time, they kept asking about things in Qizhou. Fang Xuanling's spies in Licheng also Informed about the bandit suppression.
"It's not bad. This kid knows how to suppress bandits to appease the people and ensure smooth trade routes. It seems that he should have been allowed to come out for training earlier. If others can do this, maybe I won't have to work so hard and can spend more time with you! "
Even though he was old, Li Shimin could still say such disgusting words. According to the course of history, Empress Changsun was almost dead at this time, but Li Ke changed her fate and used medicine to extend her life, making up for Li Shimin's regret.
There were still many problems in the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period. The biggest problem was that the throne was hard-won, so Li Shimin worried about state affairs. Even to the point of 996, he neglected his family, especially the cultivation of his descendants, thinking that he could take care of his family. The country is well governed.
As I got older, I realized that this was almost impossible. New problems would arise endlessly, and I worried about whether the successor of Datang could continue its glory.
"Yes, Ke'er is a good boy. With his governance, Qizhou will definitely become rich, and he will definitely assist Cheng Qian in the future. Both of them are my good sons."
Everyone has selfish motives. Although Li Ke is very filial, Li Chengqian is the eldest son of Queen Changsun. She just hopes that the brothers can govern the country together. At present, it seems that Li Ke is indeed a talent.
Li Shimin didn't think so. Among his dozen sons, only Li Ke could benefit one side. Nowadays, civil and military skills are gradually taking shape, and the prince does not necessarily have to follow the so-called "old and young order".
Naturally, the throne must be occupied by a capable person, but Fang Xuanling tried his best to dissuade him.
