In the dark and silent night, Du Gaocen still had a proud smile on his face, but it froze in an instant. Just because Tuxlow's silver-white sword had been quietly unsheathed, and the cold blade touched his neck.

.

Du Gaocen felt his vision go dark, as if he had seen the fangs of the Lord of Hell. He never expected that the "women" he despised could have such swift skills.

This sudden change shocked the other bandits. They all stood there blankly, forgetting that they could still resist with the weapons in their hands.

Tuxlow snorted coldly and said calmly: "Come here, arrest them." As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of sergeants rushed out from the surrounding darkness and surrounded the bandits with their swords raised.

In an instant, the faces of the bandits who were surrounded by layers of warriors changed drastically, and they honestly put down their weapons, and the sound of clanking echoed through the night sky.

The crisp sound of the weapon falling to the ground woke up the absent-minded Du Gaocen. He asked in a trembling voice: "What, what is going on?"

Tuxlow held a knife in one hand and stroked his tangled hair with the other, and said casually: "What a surprise? You think your clothes are perfect, but in fact they are already under the control of adults."

"Okay, Damn Lenghantian, I don't want to talk nonsense to you anymore."

"Okay, it's late at night, and I'm too lazy to talk. Spend the last night well, and tomorrow you can go to hell to meet your majestic heaven." Tuxlow raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Take them to the cell.

Keep it under strict supervision and wait for adults to deal with it!"

Du Gaocen, who was being taken away, looked regretfully at the young man who had just stopped him, as if he regretted not listening to you.

Before it became clear, Jiang Mingyu received the emergency report and rushed to the city defense camp. After listening to Tuxlow carefully recounting the previous night's events, his gloomy eyes fell on the dozen bandits kneeling on the ground, his face as gloomy as water.

Jiang Mingyu said indifferently: "Take these bandits to the playground overnight and behead them to avenge the dead soldiers!" His tone was full of murderous intent.

As the heads of Du Gaocen and others were chopped off and rolled in the dancing snow, the brief turmoil in the city defense camp calmed down again, and everything returned to deathly silence.

At the same time, Tang Chengan, who was sitting in the carriage heading towards Shangmu County, was in an exciting world in his heart. The cold wind poured in from the window, and he was unaware of it, and his heart was occupied by beautiful imaginations.

What Huang Chaoran said was indeed correct. Jiang Mingyu was planning a rebellion in Shang Mu.

As long as Tang Chengan witnessed his crime with his own eyes and then reported it to the Prime Minister, Jiang Mingyu and Wang Zhe would no longer have any room for survival.

The most important thing is that once this matter reaches the ears of the Holy Father, it will definitely add fuel to the fire.

By then, the Crane Prime Minister will probably die, and the Rabbit Prime Minister will be ready to take over as the first assistant.

As the first contributor, I have an unlimited future.

Thinking of this, Tang Chengan couldn't help but feel full of kindness and expectation towards Shang Mu, who had always been regarded as a scourge.

And Tang Chengan, who couldn't wait for a long time, kept urging the driver loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up."

The wind and snow outside the window were still howling, and with the coachman's whistle, Tang Chengan's carriage also drifted away in the heavy snow.

Shangmu County.

Tuxlow looked at Jiang Mingyu's thoughtful look and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Mingyu came back from his thoughts and said with a smile: "I am thinking that it is time to lead you and your men to do some activities."

Tuckslow was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Mingyu narrowed his eyes, with a sly smile on his lips, and whispered two words: "Suppress the bandits."

Tuxlow was stunned for a moment and asked again: "Suppressing bandits?"

Jiang Mingyu turned to look at the heavy snow flying outside the window, and spoke slowly: "From the robbers and thieves in Qinglong Village, to the murderers and hustlers in Xiaoying Mountain, and now Du Gaocen and others openly sneaked into the military camp with the intention of inciting the army to mutiny and plotting against Japan.

Official life."

"You have witnessed with your own eyes tonight how rampant these lawless bandits have become. In order to avoid further trouble in the future, I have decided to mobilize a large number of troops from tomorrow to carry out a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of bandits in the entire county."

Jiang Mingyu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his tone was firm and forceful.

Tuckslow let out a breath of white air and said hesitantly: "My lord, you are right, but sending troops in such a severe cold does not seem to be beneficial to the soldiers. Can we wait a few days before we talk?"

Jiang Mingyu stared at the flying snow outside the window, shook his head slightly, and said in a calm tone: "When will we wait? Wait until spring returns to the earth in March? In early spring, foreign enemies will definitely come back, and how can we still have the energy to suppress the bandits?

?”

Tuxlow frowned, still thinking about the connection. When Jiang Mingyu saw this, a trace of worry appeared on his face, and he continued to explain in a persuasive manner.

"The most important thing is, have you ever thought about what to do if there are still some remaining bandits who want to avenge Du Gaocen and others?"

Tuckslow frowned, unable to understand the connection for a while, and asked doubtfully: "What does this mean?"

Jiang Mingyu then explained patiently: "I am worried that those bandits with a grudge, who have nothing to do in the face of the army led by me, may secretly make friends with foreigners and help them invade Shangmu. If these bandits who are familiar with the terrain act as internal agents for the foreigners,

, it will be a devastating disaster for the people."

After hearing this, Tuxlow's eyes rolled, and he gradually understood the connection, and murmured: "It turns out that your Excellency is worried that they will defect to the foreign enemy and become internal agents."

Jiang Mingyu nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "What I am saying now is just speculation, but the matter is very important and must not be taken lightly. I think the safest way is to wipe out all the bandits in the territory before anything happens.

Even if it is unfounded, suppressing bandits will benefit the people without causing any harm."

Tuxlow suddenly understood after hearing this, nodded heavily and said: "Your Excellency's analysis is very thorough. I fully understand your considerations and fully support this decision."

Jiang Mingyu saw Tuxlow's change in attitude, and nodded slightly, and continued: "Besides, I have deeper considerations..."

Jiang Mingyu's wise eyes fell on Tuxlow and asked earnestly: "I dare to ask, to what extent do you think the soldiers and horses we have now have grown after training?"

Tuxlow's eyes lit up slightly, and his tone revealed confidence: "I am not boasting, but they are making very fast progress. Even if a foreign enemy invades at this time, I am confident that I will lead them to fight bravely. As long as the time is right, we will defeat them in one fell swoop."

Foreign enemies are by no means impossible."

It can be seen that the black-faced King of Hell, as an instructor, has full confidence in his sergeants.

After hearing this, Jiang Mingyu slowly shook his head and said calmly: "I don't doubt the effectiveness of your training, and I am convinced that they are growing rapidly. It's just that in my opinion, they still lack one very crucial thing."

Tuxlow frowned slightly, still racking his brains to think about Jiang Mingyu's meaning.

"My lord is saying..."

When Jiang Mingyu saw this, he took over the conversation and said calmly: "What they lack most now is actual combat experience. They have not experienced the bloody battles between weapons."

"You have also seen that just because more than a dozen people died, the entire army was in shambles and its morale was greatly damaged. If they were attacked by a foreign tribe, how much courage would they have to sacrifice their lives for righteousness?"

Jiang Mingyu said to himself: "It can be said that there is no such thing. Only by experiencing the baptism of war and facing the fear of life and death can they grow into real soldiers."

"This suppression of bandits is a good opportunity to hone them into sharp weapons. Do you understand what I mean?" Jiang Mingyu's eyes glowed with wisdom.

Tukslow suddenly understood, nodded heavily and said: "Your Majesty is very right, I understand."

Jiang Mingyu smiled with satisfaction and ordered: "Now that you understand, I will send scouts to detect the bandits' movements today, and ask the city defense camp to be prepared to send troops to suppress the bandits at any time. Let's have a small test first."

.......

Tang Chengan, who had just entered Shangmu City, looked around and saw that the houses on both sides were neatly repaired and the city gates were heavily guarded. It was completely different from the dilapidated Shangmu he imagined.

He subconsciously rubbed his eyes and asked the driver of the car in surprise: "Is this really Shangmu County?"

Seeing the coachman nodding firmly that it was indeed the case, Tang Chengan couldn't help but admire: "The city gates are so tightly guarded and the houses are brand new. It seems that Jiang Mingyu does have some governance skills and has made this place prosperous."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Tang Chengan quickly sighed softly: "It is a pity that such a wise and capable talent has to go astray in rebellion. It is really a pity."

The coachman keenly asked: "Sir, are we going directly to the city defense camp to check the real situation?"

Tang Cheng pacified his chin and thought for a while, then slowly shook his head: "Don't worry, we have just arrived in Shangmu, and the situation is not clear yet. Let's find a hotel to stay first and slowly find out the truth."

He understood that Huang Chaoran and Jiang Mingyu had a personal grudge. Although he suspected that the latter was very likely to rebel, he could not rule out the possibility of a wrong guess. If he worried too much and acted rashly, it would be very detrimental to himself. This would give the governor a

If you have an opportunity to punish yourself, you must be very cautious.
