Chapter 51 Bandits and Escorts
The twin sisters Qingming and Guyu were found by Jingzhe eight years ago.

The second daughter, like Jing Zhe, also came from a hidden family, and also encountered a massacre when she was a child. Later, under the protection of dozens of family members, she hid in XZ and came to Bingzhou, and she was lucky enough to die.

But unlike Jing Zhe, the dozens of guards who were in charge of protecting the two sisters at that time did not die.

Sixteen of them survived and later became key members of the underworld.

Including a clan elder who was born at the second-rank Bright Moon Realm, and two clan uncles who were born at the first-rank Star Realm.

"My lord, please have another drink."

The little maid, Gu Yu, bent down to pour wine for Jiang Qingyu, her black hair drooping half-hidden her face, making it difficult for people from a distance to see the subtle movements on her face.

Immediately afterwards, she quickly uttered a series of messages with her lips:
"Jiaoshou Mountain, Huashe Ridge, the Thunder Sword Escort Bureau and the Red Sword Escort Bureau in Black Rock City."

"All four forces participated in this attack on the Qiang people."

"In the early hours of this morning, a total of thousands of thieves from Jiaoshou Mountain and Huashe Ridge were in charge of fighting. The more than [-] people from the two escort agencies were afraid that their identities would be exposed, so they dared to hide on the mountain with bows and crossbows and shoot arrows. Fortunately, this group of Qiang The man's riding skills are exquisite, and he walked out of the coverage of the bow and crossbow in time, otherwise the casualties will be even more serious!"

Jiang Qingyu picked up the wine glass and slowly drank the wine in the glass.

As expected of the servant girl "Jing Zhe", the speed with which she got the news never let him down.

"Bandit, and the Escort..."

Jiang Qingyu sighed inwardly.

In the past few years, Bingzhou seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact it is undercurrents.

King Jubei's health deteriorated year after year, and he might not walk out of the palace once a month, so even though Yu Wei was still there, some people under his command had already begun to disobey.

For example, there are several veteran generals in the Bingzhou Military Department who are very powerful and loyal to the King of the North on the surface, but secretly started to support private soldiers early on!
Not only did they expand the standing soldiers in their mansion, they raised dead soldiers and dark guards, they even secretly cultivated elite troops one after another, asking them to find a mountain to occupy, pretending to be a bandit and fall into the grass as a bandit!
These bandits are training in a planned way every day. The equipment is second-hand products eliminated by the military department last year. Compared with the regular army of the Anbei Protectorate, the combat power is only [-]% worse!

There are more than [-] dens of such bandits in Bingzhou, with a population of seven to eight thousand!

Jiaoshou Mountain and Huashe Ridge are two of them.

The moment Jiang Qingyu heard that the Qiang people were attacked by a group of thieves, Jiang Qingyu suspected that it was this type of people who did it, but the involvement of the two escort agencies in Black Rock City was beyond his expectation.

Could it be...

Are those bodyguards in Bingzhou also the private soldiers of those veterans?
Jiang Qingyu moved the empty wine glass away from her mouth little by little, and at the same time asked with her lips:

"Who are the leading talents?"

The little maid Gu Yu Qingsi brushed his face and filled another cup for him:
"Dong Fei from the Green Bamboo Camp, and the Ge Brothers from the Green Sword Camp."

Jiang Qingyu remained silent.

really……

Did Jiang Jing's mother and son also participate in this matter?
As far as Jiang Qingyu knew, the preparation of his second brother's Green Sword Camp was quite luxurious.

In an ordinary battalion of about a thousand people, only the leading lieutenant and a lieutenant are innate.

For example, Jiang Qingzhu's [-] Green Bamboo Battalion, because the leader of Yunqi Lieutenant Jiang Qingzhu was only acquired the seventh grade, so the military department assigned her two innate vice generals, Dong Fei and Meng Qian.

But Jiang Qingjian's thousand-man battalion has six geniuses!
Although they are all innate first-rank star realms, it is enough to show how much King Jubei and the Jiang family value him!

in……

The Ge brothers are a pair of cousins, the elder brother is Ge Chen, and the younger brother is Ge Mu, both are Bingzhou veterans in their thirties.

The two have been with Jiang Qingjian from birth to death since six years ago, and have established a deep relationship.

In other words, they are also staunch "Second Protection Factions".

As long as they can help Jiang Qingjian, even if Jiang Jing asks them to pretend to be bandits and attack the Qiang people, the two brothers will definitely not refuse.

"Ugh……"

Jiang Qingyu sighed inwardly.

Now the truth of the matter seems to have gradually become clear, and I don't even need to worry about it.

But he always felt that the truth was not that simple.

Every bandit soldier is a private army trained with a lot of money. Several veterans in the military department regard it as a treasure at the bottom of the box.

But why this time they are willing to dispatch thousands of bandits at once to attack the Qiang people?
In order to bet on Jiang Qingjian, do you not hesitate to waste your own family property?
In that battle, the Qiang cavalry, which has always been known for being elite, lost more than [-] people. The number of bandits was less than twice that of the Qiang, and the number of horses was limited, which was not enough to equip a qualified cavalry...

Roughly estimated, in the early morning battle, the thieves left at least [-] corpses behind!
This is almost the entire population of a den of thieves!
Just to kill a few Qiang people?

Is it worth it?
There is still more than a month before the Winter Hunting Competition, and Jubei Wangda can recruit another cavalry from Youzhou. Simply attacking an army will not solve the problem at all.

On the contrary, it is more likely to arouse the wrath of the King of the North, and send troops to kill the bandits on various hills!
"Does Jingzhe have any other instructions?"

Jiang Qingyu reached out and plucked Gu Yu's soft hair, brought it under her nose and smelled it, the action was quite frivolous.

The little maid half pushed, drew circles on Jiang Qingyu's chest with both hands, and said with her lips:
"Sister Mengren said..."

"The key person in this matter is not Ah Qi, but Meng Qian, who is also the deputy general of the Green Bamboo Camp like Dong Fei."

"As for Ah Qi, she was just used by others."

"Dong Fei told Ah Qi last night that as long as she helps cover up the fact that she is not there, he will redeem her body when he comes back."

"Ah Qi believed it."

"But now that Dong Fei is dead, and such a big incident happened again, Ah Qi pretended to be smart and faked the scars all over her body in order not to be regarded as an accomplice."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu frowned slightly.

In this way, this girl Ah Qi is a poor person.

Many brothel women have the obsession with redeeming their bodies, yearning for a free life, which is understandable.

It's just that he can't believe that the two lieutenants of Qingzhuying have problems.

If this is true, then hasn't his third sister, Jiang Qingzhu, been played with by others all the time?

"Squeak-"

at this time.

The door behind them opened.

The little girl, Xiaoman, was the first to come out with half a pastry in her mouth.

When she saw Jiang Qingyu holding the little maid's hair in her hands, and the little maid was drawing circles on Jiang Qingyu's chest, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, and painstakingly advised:
"My lord, if you really want to have fun..."

"It's better to choose the seventh girl inside, we paid for that one!"

"As for this one..."

She looked at the little maid Gu Yu, shook her head and said:

"This one is too expensive, the few bank notes in Sister Lichun's hand are far from enough!"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu let go of her hand, but did not look at Ah Qi who had just tied her skirt in the room.

Because he just caught a glimpse of two women coming up the stairs——

Jiang Qingzhu, the third lady of the palace, whose red armor is stained with blood.

And the deputy general Meng Qian who looked disgusted.
