Chapter 122 Ten Mile Pavilion
The first update, please look for pink. ()
...
"Is there such a thing?" Ji Xiaotang was shocked and thought of something in his heart, but he didn't think deeply about it at the moment. "Why don't we know?"
What you conceal from ordinary people does not mean that the Ji family is unaware of it. Master Ji Er and Magistrate Xie have a close relationship. If there is any disturbance, Magistrate Xie will tell Master Ji Er to know as soon as possible. Sometimes Magistrate Xie has not had time to copy it, and even showed the original text to Master Ji Er to read.
"If the people don't know, the nearby prefectures and counties will always know." Ji Xiaotang asked again.
"There should not be a notice." Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang that although it was to avoid panic among the people, Qi Younian actually disagreed with such an arrangement.
Even so, that is not something he can manage within his authority. What he can do is only his own duty.
"I'm afraid this is not just to avoid panic, but also to keep the black hat on my head." Ji Xiaotang said coldly.
Mr. Ji Er actually had some friendship with the prefect of Ren An’s mansion, but Ji Xiaotang still had to say that.
Qi Younian held the reins of the horse with one hand and scratched the neck with the other hand.
"Oh..., Lord Wang is actually a good official."
"Hmph." Ji Xiaotang snorted, but he didn't continue the topic, but he was wandering in his heart.
It is precisely because Master Ji Er and Prefect Wang have some friendship that Ji Xiaotang also has a little understanding of Prefect Wang's character. Prefect Wang is indeed not such a person. Moreover, such a great deal of life is not so easy to conceal.
Rich businessmen who come to Beijing will naturally bring the news back to the capital.
So, are there some other intangible insider information here that is even more unhumane?
What's the story?
"Ayou, who are you chasing today?" Ji Xiaotang vaguely thought of something and asked Qi Younian again.
"It should be a spy of the bandits.⊥," Qi Younian said. He told Ji Xiaotang that he had been ambushing in Mujia Village for two days, and several woodcutters were suspicious in their appearance. They came forward to ask, but they alarmed the other party, which caused the situation Ji Xiaotang had just seen on the road.
"This bandit is actually quite powerful?" Ji Xiaotang was shocked and puzzled.
Qi Younian turned around and glanced at Ji Xiaotang.
"There are only these spies, so there must be a large number of bandits." Ji Xiaotang said his own judgment. Moreover, these bandits sent these spies out at one time, wasn't it because they were going to do some "big deal"?
Who is the big deal for bandits?!
"...You must not know." Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang that Mujia Village has always been a place where bandits gather, but after the world was peaceful, the bandits gradually disappeared.
However, in the past two years, there have been signs that at the junction of Ren'an, Hejian and Taiyuan's three prefectures, there was a group of bandits moving. The bandits came without a trace, and they did not take action easily. If they took action, they would not leave any trace. Moreover, they were active in the junction of the three prefectures, so they were not noticed until recently.
And Mujiazhai is the place where this bandits are active.
Ji Xiaotang couldn't hide his worry on his face.
Qi Younian didn't hear Ji Xiaotang talking for a long time, so he looked back and immediately saw that Ji Xiaotang was worried.
"Don't worry, Xiaotang." Qi Younian said loudly, "It only takes two years for me to purge this bandit."
A small family wants to try to eliminate the bandits that gathered at the junction of the three palaces. Qi Younian must not know that the bandits are truly capable, and he forgot that he could not do this at all with his identity.
Not only Qi Younian cannot, but also Mu Hong, who is a deputy family, cannot.
Otherwise, Mu Hong would not have been charged with bandits when the chaos first arose and his whole family was killed.
Her maternal ancestor Mu Hong's family was implicated by the Ji family.
This bandit is far from as simple as everyone thought. To eliminate this bandit and eliminate hidden dangers, a soldier under the command of a thousand households is far from enough. ∏∈, this person must be able to not only mobilize the soldiers of Ren'an Guard, but also mobilize all the soldiers of the entire ten guards of Yidong.
Even with Qi Younian's promotion, it is impossible for two years. This is because Qi Younian has been promoting according to his current promotion.
However, Ji Xiaotang knew from Qi Younian's attitude that he was serious.
Such a boy is unbearable to pour cold water on him.
Moreover, it is hard to say that there is no miracle in this world. Ji Xiaotang never believed in coincidences and would not hope for any miracle. However, for some reason, Ji Xiaotang was willing to leave hope for Qi Younian.
"Ayou, do you know that to clear out this bandit, you have to understand their details first? How much do you know about this bandit?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qi Younian, and was also reminding him.
"I don't know much," Qi Younian said honestly, "But two years are enough." He didn't know enough, but he had enough confidence.
If he is given two years, he will not be able to deal with this bandit, so he is not worthy of being Qi Younian.
As he was talking, Ji Xiaotang heard someone coming from the forest ahead.
"It's my uncle." Ji Xiaotang suddenly heard Master Ji San's voice and said in surprise.
"I said I wouldn't let them follow me, it was very dangerous here." Qi Younian said.
The other side also heard the voice from Ji Xiaotang, obviously speeding up, and Master Ji San's voice came first.
"Xiaotang, is it you? Xiaotang? Are you okay? Are you injured?" Master Ji San's voice was filled with uncontrollable anxiety and concern.
"Uncle, I'm fine. Uncle, are you okay?" Ji Xiaotang said loudly.
Master Ji San's horse was also shocked. Although Master Li was by his side, there were also bandits pretending to be woodcutters. Master Ji San was also very dangerous at the time.
"I'm fine." As soon as he finished speaking, Master Ji San ran out of the woods opposite him quickly.
When the uncle and nephew met, they were overjoyed.
"Uncle, you are injured." Ji Xiaotang got off the horse. She could see that Master Ji San's feet were a little lame.
"It's not a big deal, I just twisted it." Master Ji San looked at Ji Xiaotang carefully and confirmed that Ji Xiaotang was really fine. Then he put his heart back in his stomach.
Follow Master Ji San to find Ji Xiaotang, including Master Li and two ingenious guards.
Everyone gathered together and walked out happily. As they walked, Ji Xiaotang had already asked the whole story.
Although the things that happened outside were thrilling, the ending was pretty good, thanks to Qi Younian's arrival in a very timely manner. A bandit who pretended to be a woodcutter ran away, but it was the thin man who took the lead. The rest were caught by Qi Younian's subordinates.
The Ji family's guards also helped to catch these bandits.
Except for Master Ji San, who was anxious and Ji Xiaotang, who was sprained, only two guards were slightly injured. The rest of the people and property were not lost.
As for the soldiers Qi Younian led, two of them were injured because they had had close contact with the bandits before, but they also killed one bandit.
After coming out of the forest, I saw that the chariots and horses of the Ji family were all in place. Ji Zhong led people to guard the chariots and horses, and divided them into two places with the soldiers led by Qi Younian, which was clearly divided.
Seeing them coming out, Ji Zhong rushed over and knew that Ji Xiaotang was safe, Ji Zhong was very excited.
He is an old servant of the Ji family. If Ji Xiaotang has any accidents, he will have no shame to go back to see Master Ji Er.
The soldiers there ran over and paid a salute to Qi Younian.
One of them called Qi Younian and called him Lord Qianhu.
Ji Xiaotang heard it and looked at Qi Younian.
"What a thousand households? Isn't this a formal document? "Qi Younian scolded the soldier.
"Mr. Qianhu, although he has not officially written the article yet, this is a foregone conclusion. Brothers will only call you for two days earlier, so it is not wrong." The soldier seemed to be very familiar with Qi Younian, so he said with a smile.
Qi Younian waved his hand and asked the soldiers to go back to guard the bandits, then turned around and explained to Ji Xiaotang.
"It's not intentionally hiding it from you, I'm still a hundred households now."
Ji Xiaotang was not angry, but instead became more fond of Qi Younian. If it were an ordinary young man, he would have to show off without asking others.
This is a very reliable teenager.
Master Ji San had already said a few words to Qi Younian at this time, mostly because he was grateful to Qi Younian for saving Ji Xiaotang.
It’s hard to tell who proposed it first. Everyone has to go to the city, so it’s better to go together.
Neither of the troops on both sides had any objections. The soldiers escorted the bandits to the front, while Qi Younian was behind a while and followed Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San.
Ji Xiaotang's red horse was already ruined, so Qi Younian gave her his big green horse, saying that he would not be shocked no matter what the horse did, but he himself rode a yellow horse that Master Ji San led.
The three of them walked together and spoke all the way.
Master Ji San felt that he was very compatible with Qi Younian. He knew that he and Mu Hong were both in the garrison office and were more intimate with him.
Leaving Mujia Village, the roads are getting easier and easier, and Ji Xiaotang can already see the walls of Ren Ancheng.
Soon, we arrived at the Shili Pavilion outside the city. There was someone in the pavilion. First, we met the soldiers in front of us, and then we saw two people riding on horses like a whirlwind and reaching the three of them in front of them in a blink of an eye.
The first middle-aged man was extremely tall and strong, with a blushing face, a beard on his face, and his eyes were like a copper bell. The other man who followed was young and had many beards on his face. He looked like a family with the man in front of him.
The middle-aged man arrived in front of Ji Xiaotang and then suddenly stopped the horse. The horse stumbled on the spot, and then stopped after a while.
Ji Xiaotang also strangled the horse, and the big green horse did not move in the spot, but just gently tilted the front hooves.
Master Ji San's horse took a step back, and Qi Younian controlled the Huang Piao horse and barely refused to retreat.
