Chapter 401 Rewards
After Du Ming and Wei set out, they marched for two days and set up their formation for three days. On the fifth day, Xu Yin received the news of conquering Xingtong City.
"So quickly?" she was surprised.
The fiery soldier replied: "Yes, the thief leader has been taken down. The two generals will come to welcome the third lady into the city tomorrow."
"What about the casualties in this battle? Are there other losses?"
The fief frigate grinned and said, "When the city was broken, two were injured. The casualties after entering the city have not been fully counted. However, the defeated soldiers were in a hurry to escape and had no combat power, so they should be fine."
“…”
OK, maybe she underestimated her subordinates.
"Where are those rioters? Have they killed or captured them or escaped?"
"They found that the city was broken, so they fled in all directions, with many fish missing. The two generals specifically ordered to pay attention to the safety of the third lady."
Xu Yin was not surprised and sent an order: "Don't give these riots the opportunity to enter the hinterland of Chu, and ask them to chase them with all their might. If they find out, they will be killed on the spot."
"yes."
The news of recapturing Xingtong was spread, and the camp was filled with joy.
Miss Qi came to thank him specifically: "Thank you Miss Xu San for taking action to avenge my whole family. Please allow me to accompany you and return to the city to see the death of the first sinner. I am willing to repay my great kindness as a slave and a servant."
Nowadays, Miss Qi is a descendant of aristocratic family. Of course, Xu Yin would not really call her a slave. She said: "Those riots are cruel and violent. I do this so that I can only follow the way of heaven. It is not a great kindness if Miss Qi asks me. Of course you can go back to the city, but I don't know if Miss Qi has any relatives alive? I will ask someone to send you back to meet him later."
Miss Qi looked dim and said, "Thank you for my consideration. My Qi family has been working hard for decades and has already taken root here. My ancestral home is only a few rooms and I don't know how to deal with myself when I go back. If Miss Xu San doesn't need my service, can I stay and do something within my ability? I see that Miss Xu San is traveling outside, and it is difficult for me to work with the army of the Cao family. I have to make more use of official documents. I can tell you that I can at least help classify and copy them, so I don't need men and women to avoid suspicion."
Xu Yin was a little surprised. Because of her identity, Xiao Sang did not support her. At most, she brought some tea and poured water. Unexpectedly, Miss Qi had a strong observation ability and discovered her difficulties in just a few days.
Then I thought about it again that she, an orphan girl, returned to her hometown and lived under someone else's roof, and her future fate was manipulated. It was reasonable that she did not want to return to her ancestral home.
"Since you think so, let's stay here for the time being and help me sort out the official documents."
Miss Qi said gratefully: "Thank you Miss Xu San for asking me to support myself."
When Xu Yin listened, he couldn't help but think of Feng Chuncao's words, "I want to make some money." No matter whether it is aristocratic family or a mountain citizen, it will be the same when encountering such disasters.
...
After half a day of rest, the next morning, Wei Jun came to welcome Xu Yin into the city.
"Old Du stayed in the city to take care of the rest of the matter," Wei Jun looked sad, "Miss 3, you don't know. When we entered the city, it was a hell on earth. The streets were full of blood and it had not been washed away for a few days. It was so fishy that it smelled... The corpses were piled up in a mess. I heard that they had cleaned them up after we surrounded the city. Lao Du quickly buried them, otherwise there would be a fear of plague. Nine out of ten rooms in the city were empty, and it would be difficult for a family to survive..."
Xu Yin sighed.
This is the cruel side of war. She saw too much in her previous life. Fortunately, the situation in this life is not that bad, and she has the ability to do something.
"Where are those rioters? How many have you let go?"
Wei Jun said embarrassedly: "We divided the work before, and Lao Du went to the city to take the lead. I was responsible for the ending of the retreat. I blamed me for not having any experience and had escaped a lot..."
Xu Yin nodded. Wei Jun led his troops for the first time, and it was no longer easy to do this.
"Old Du is one by one, it seems you get along well."
Wei Jun grinned and said, "Isn't this a little more friendly! We have to count on him in war!"
Xu Yin said: "It was beyond my expectation that you could win Xingtong so quickly."
Wei Jun laughed twice: "That's thanks to the third lady's gunpowder, it's not our credit."
Xu Yin said fairly: "No matter how good things are, someone must use them. General Du is more capable than I thought, and you are also performing well."
Wei Jun was very happy after being praised.
Xu Yin sighed slightly in his heart. The gunpowder formula was actually presented to Emperor You in his previous life. The gunpowder has long appeared in the world, but it is not powerful enough and is only used for fireworks and firecrackers. A master craftsman in the army improved the gunpowder formula, but Emperor You didn't take it seriously. Because it was not easy to blow up the gunpowder, people wouldn't let you get close when fighting, and they couldn't throw it over like a scatterer.
But Xu Yin felt that it was completely useful. He often digs tunnels when siege, and he could use them as long as he was willing to worry. However, Emperor You's idea was correct. If there were any equipment like a catapult, it would be amazing to throw gunpowder and blow it up.
While chatting, the two rode their horses to Xingtong City.
As he talked, the back became chaotic.
Wei Junle stopped his mount and turned around and asked, "What's going on next?"
Soon a soldier came to report: "Miss San, General Guard, a small group of riots attacked our refugee camp."
Xu Yin frowned. These soldiers were so brave!
They were escorted by the army throughout the process. Because the refugee camp was large in number and the people had no sense of discipline, they were inevitably left behind and were unable to find any accidents such as falling behind.
"Can there be casualties?"
"Several casualties were killed or injured, but Miss Feng happened to be here and stopped them in time."
Is Feng Chuncao? Xu Yin looked to the side.
Xiaosang said, "She went to find her mother and said that her mother had bad legs and feet and could not walk like this long road."
Xu Yin looked at Wei Jun.
Wei Jun immediately turned his head tactfully: "I'll go catch someone, and I won't let anyone go!"
Xu Yin nodded and had been walking for a long time, so he ordered to rest on the spot.
After a while, Wei Jun came back in disgrace.
"All of them have been captured? Where are the people?" Xu Yin asked.
"Here is here!" A clear sound rang behind him, but Feng Chuncao came over on a horse.
She was just learning horse riding and was not very skilled, but everyone's attention was attracted by what was on her hands and on the horse's back.
Heads! Full of heads!
Even though the guards around were elite soldiers who had been through life and death, they were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide.
Qingxuan blurted out: "Fuck!"
Feng Chuncao was covered in blood. When he got close to him, he stopped his mount in a hurry, and then shouted: "Miss 3, you said you would be rewarded to kill the enemy. Is it true? Can I also receive the reward?"
Chapter completed!
