Chapter 612 Midsummer
Ning Chuchu never expected that the things she did in Jiangbei Prefecture would attract great attention from Jiangnan Dao.
She also did not expect that at the ferries south of the Yangtze River, the Governor-General Song Shiming had laid a dragnet, waiting for her arrival.
Yangtze River, crossing Jiangbei.
This is one of the six ferries across the Yangtze River in Jiangnan Province.
Ning Chuchu, who had made a comeback from Jingning Mountain, was arriving here with her army of women.
This is a relatively remote ferry port, but there are still many business travelers traveling from the south to the north of the Yangtze River. I don’t know when, this place has become a large market town.
Ning Chuchu and his party were not in the market town, but in an open area at the riverside dock.
They are waiting for the ferry.
At this moment, Ning Chuchu is also counting the spoils of the past few days.
She found that her favorite thing to do was to count these heavy banknotes——
Originally it was with silver.
But as she grabbed more and more grain and sold more and more money, she found that having too much of it was a burden.
So she asked Kaiyang and the others to drag cartloads of silver and exchange them for several large packages of banknotes.
Today's Detachment of Women has replaced its guns with cannons.
It’s not that the money was spent to buy the horse, the horse was also stolen.
But their original tattered clothes have now been replaced by brand new bright red cotton robes!
White snow, bright red girl.
There are still hundreds of heroic girls like a red cloud.
This undoubtedly makes them a beautiful scenery on the way to Jiangbei.
However, they all carried knives and bows on their backs, and the merchants and travelers only dared to watch from a distance. At most, they could only click their tongues twice, but no one dared to come to please them.
This naturally attracted the attention of the guards of the small town of Jiangbeidu.
He knew that these must be the group of female bandits who caused trouble in Jiangbei!
But what can he do?
With only a dozen or so detectives at hand, we can't expect them to capture hundreds of female bandits.
So, the smart guard simply closed the door, cooked a pot of wine, hugged his new concubine, and forgot about the group of female bandits——
If they don't attack the Jiangbeidu market town, it will be considered as burning incense. If they go to provoke them... isn't this the old birthday star hanging himself?
Now the entire Jiangbei Prefecture no longer has enough troops to pose a threat to Ning Chuchu's Detachment of Women, so the officials in Jiangbei Prefecture can only watch this Detachment of Women being at ease.
They even understood from the soldiers who escaped with their lives that these five hundred women's soldiers were not simple bandits.
Bandits are usually a ragtag group of people, and most of them are men.
But they are not.
Judging from the five soldiers they destroyed, it was clear that their kung fu was extremely high and they were extremely lethal in battle.
Their fighting methods are simple and crude.
Even with strong force, he directly killed the soldiers and defeated them in one fell swoop, but he would never pursue the fugitives.
Their goals are also very clear.
Killing people is secondary, grabbing food is the right way.
After robbing them, let them take them to the nearest town and sell them to the largest grain merchant there——
Must buy!
Not buying?
They really know how to kill!
But they didn't sell it at a high price, so the grain merchants could only eat the grain with tears in their eyes and joy in their hearts.
They turned around and went to the bank.
He exchanged all the silver for banknotes, then went shopping in the market town...mostly dry food, and then left.
If there is an official blocking the way, no official is their opponent.
Then, if the officials happened to encounter these girls in red clothes, they would even turn a blind eye and pretend not to see them.
Therefore, they are not bandits.
But where did Ning Guo get such a powerful female soldier?
No one can guess.
But since these female soldiers have taken on Master Daotai's mind, they may not be able to escape on this territory of Jiangnan Road!
wrong.
If they want to escape, they should enter the Jingning Mountains and enter Guanzhong.
After entering Guanzhong, you can go to Shuzhou to the west, and to Beimo to the north.
That's the place to escape.
But they happened to run to Jiangbei Crossing. Looking at it like this, they seemed to want to cross the river and go to the hinterland of Jiangnan.
Isn't this asking for death?
Ning Chuchu had no idea that she was heading towards a dragnet.
Her idea is extremely simple.
The grain and fodder escorted by those soldiers were going to Fengxian County, and Li Chenan was heading to Fengxian County, so those corrupt officials in Jiangnan Province were probably going to harm Li Chenan in Fengxian County.
Damn those!
How dare you so blatantly mobilize troops to ambush the dignified Prince Regent!
Then take the money and people with you to Feng County!
As for how many soldiers and horses from Jiangnan Road would go to Feng County, Ning Chuchu didn't know and didn't think about it.
As for whether he and the women's army in his hands would be wiped out in a battle with the army assembled in Jiangnan Road in Feng County, Ning Chuchu didn't know and didn't think about it.
She just knew she had to go.
Even if that place is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, a dragon's pool, a tiger's den, you must go!
Just like when I went to Shuangjiao Mountain.
"This banknote is also heavy. Come on, let's each carry some... We've all brought the dry food."
"The ferry will come soon, let's grab one directly."
"Kaiyang, get a map and let me see how far it is from Feng County across the river."
A map was laid out in front of Ning Chuchu. Her fingers landed on the current position and slowly moved southward, muttering:
“It’s a bit far!”
"What day are you here today?"
"Go back to Your Highness, it's already eleven today."
"Oh... this past... we have to go through the entire three counties of Runzhou... more than 800 miles... and now we enter Pingjiang Prefecture... and we have to go another 400 miles to Feng County..."
She raised her head, looked at Kaiyang, and asked, "How many miles can we cover on horseback in one day?"
Kaiyang also looked at the map carefully, pondered for a moment, and replied:
"The land south of the Yangtze River is flat and flat. If we take the official road, we can travel two hundred miles a day on horseback."
"Oh, that means it will take at least six more days, which is seventeen."
"I don't know when Chen An will arrive in Feng County."
"Your Highness, I estimate that crossing the river may not be so smooth. After all, the noise we made here is quite big... I am a little scared when I see so many banknotes."
"I'm afraid they won't give up. The other side is probably ready!"
Ning Chuchu frowned slightly and turned her head to look at the rolling Yangtze River.
yes.
At this time, she finally started to think about it. There was no way that the enemy would allow her to take such a big advantage in vain. If she turned around and headed north, the enemy would probably be unable to do anything to her.
But we must cross the river to Feng County!
No matter what, we have to go to Feng County!
Ning Chuchu suddenly came up with a plan:
"In this way, take a piece of red cloth, Tianshu, and grind the ink!"
A piece of red cloth about ten feet long was spread on the ground, and Tianshu rubbed the ink on the inkstone.
Ning Chuchu picked up a large pen, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote a line of words on this red cloth——
"The four princesses of the Ning Kingdom went to the south of the Yangtze River under an order. Anyone who sees it should avoid it, and anyone who violates it...will be killed!"
She laughed.
Chapter completed!
