Chapter 403 Rewards
After Du Ming and Wei Jun set off, they marched for two days and set up formations for three days. On the fifth day, Xu Yin received the news that Xingtong City had been captured.

"So fast?" she was surprised.

The letter soldier replied: "Yes, the leader of the thief has been captured, and the two generals will come to welcome the third lady into the city tomorrow."

"How about the casualties in this battle? Are there any other losses?"

Xin Bing grinned and said, "Two were injured when the city was broken. The casualties after entering the city have not been fully counted, but those defeated soldiers are in a hurry to escape and have no combat effectiveness. They should be fine."

"..."

Well, maybe she underestimated her men.

"Where are those rebels? Killed and captured or escaped?"

"When they found out that the city was broken, they scattered and fled in all directions. Many of them slipped through the net. The two generals specially ordered to pay attention to Miss San's safety."

Xu Yin was not surprised, and sent an order: "Don't let these rebels have the opportunity to enter the hinterland of Chu, tell them to pursue them with all their strength, and kill them on the spot if they find them."

"Yes."

The news of recapturing Xingtong spread, and the camp was full of joy.

Ms. Qi specially came to thank her: "Thank you, Ms. Xu San, for taking revenge on my family. Please allow me to accompany me and go back to the city to watch the culprit die. I am willing to repay my kindness as a slave and a maidservant."

Now that she was born again, Miss Qi is also from a noble family, so of course Xu Yin would not really call her a slave or a handmaid.She said: "Those rebellious soldiers are cruel and violent. What I do is only in accordance with the way of heaven. It is not a big favor unless Miss Qi asks. Of course you can go back to the city with you, but I don't know if Miss Qi still has relatives alive? I will call someone later. Send you back to meet him."

Miss Qi looked gloomy, and said: "Thank you, Miss Xu San, for thinking about me. My Qi family has been in Xingtong for decades, and it has already taken root here. My ancestral home is only a few houses away. I don't know how to deal with it when I go back. Miss Xu San If you don't need my service, can you let me stay and do what I can? I think Miss Xu San travels out, it is inconvenient to take care of affairs, and it is not easy to work with Cao Junjun, and I have to transfer official documents. I If you can read, at least you can help classify and transcribe, so you don’t need to avoid suspicion.”

Xu Yin was a little surprised.Because of her status, Xiao Sang didn't push her around, at most she would serve some tea and water. Unexpectedly, Miss Qi had a strong observation ability, so she discovered her difficulty in just a few days.

Thinking about it again, she is an orphan who returns to her hometown to live with others, and her future fate will be manipulated by others. It is reasonable for her not to want to go back to her ancestral home.

"Since you think so, then stay for now and help me sort out the official documents."

Miss Qi said gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Xu San, for allowing me to support myself."

As Xu Yin listened, he couldn't help but think of Feng Chuncao's phrase "I want to earn a living". Regardless of whether the aristocratic family or the mountain people, encountering such disasters is the same.

……

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 other things," Wei Jun said with a sad expression, "Miss San, you don't know, when we entered the city, it was a hell on earth. There was blood everywhere on the street, and it hasn't been washed away for several days. It was so fishy that it stinks...the corpses were piled up indiscriminately, and they cleaned them up after we besieged the city. Lao Du hurriedly buried them, otherwise there would be a plague. The whole city is empty, and the whole family can survive The next one won't be easy..."

Xu Yin sighed.

This is the cruel side of war, she has seen too much in her previous life.Fortunately, the situation in this life is not that bad, and she is capable of doing something.

"Where are those rebels? How many did you let go?"

Wei Jun said shyly: "We had a division of labor earlier. Old Du went to the city to take the lead, and I was in charge of finishing the rear. It's my inexperience, I escaped a lot..."

Xu Yin nodded, it was not easy for Wei Jun to lead the army for the first time.

"One mouthful and one old Du, it seems that you get along well."

Wei Jun grinned and said, "Isn't that a little bit more friendly? We have to count on him for the war!"

Xu Yin said: "It's beyond my expectation that you can win Xingtong so quickly."

Wei Jun chuckled twice: "That's thanks to Miss San's gunpowder, it's not our credit."

Xu Yin said fairly: "No matter how useful something is, it must be used by someone. General Du is more capable than I thought, and you have performed very well."

After being praised, Wei Jun was very happy.

Xu Yin sighed slightly in his heart.The gunpowder formula was actually presented to Emperor You by the supervisor in the previous life.Gunpowder has been around for a long time, but its power is not enough, and it is only used for fireworks and firecrackers.A master craftsman in the general supervisor improved the gunpowder formula, but Emperor You didn't take it to heart.Probably because this gunpowder is not easy to blow up, and people will not be foolish enough to let you approach it during a battle, and they cannot be thrown over like a trebuchet and blow up.

But Xu Yin felt that it could be used completely.Tunnels are often dug in the siege, as long as you are willing to bother, you can use them.But Youdi's idea is also correct, if there is a device like a trebuchet, which can be thrown with gunpowder and blown up, the power will be astonishing.

While chatting, the two rode to Xingtong City.

As we talked, things started to get chaotic.

Wei Jun stopped his mount, turned his head and asked, "What's going on?"

Soon a sergeant came to report: "Miss San, General Wei, a small group of rebels attacked our refugee camp."

Xu Yin frowned, these rebels are really brave!

They were escorted by the army throughout the whole process. Because of the large number of people in the refugee camp and the lack of discipline awareness of the people, it is inevitable that there will be accidents such as falling behind, so these rebels found an opportunity.

"Are there any casualties?"

"A few were killed or injured, but Miss Feng happened to be there and stopped them in time."

Feng Chuncao?Xu Yin looked to the side.

Xiao Sang said: "She went to find her mother, and said that her mother's legs and feet are not good, and she can't walk such a long way."

Xu Yin looked at Wei Jun.

Wei Jun immediately turned his horse's head knowingly: "I'll arrest everyone, and I won't let anyone go!"

Xu Yin nodded, and it happened that he had been walking for a long time, so he ordered to rest in place.

After a while, Wei Jun came back disheveled.

"They're all caught? Where's the person?" Xu Yin asked.

"Here it is!" A clear voice sounded from behind, but it was Feng Chuncao riding over.

She has just learned to ride a horse and is not very proficient, but everyone's attention is attracted by the things in her hands and on the horse's back.

head!Full of heads!

Even though the guards around them were elite soldiers who were born and died, they opened their mouths wide in shock at the moment.

Qing Xuan even blurted out: "Fuck!"

Feng Chuncao was covered in blood. When he got close, he hurriedly stopped his mount, and then shouted: "Miss San, you said that there is a reward for killing an enemy. Is it true? Can I also receive the reward?"

Seeing her longing look, Xu Yin couldn't help laughing after being surprised: "Of course, the military order is head-for-reward. Since the head is in your hands, the reward is yours."
