From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 75: A date at night; Xu Shan fights against bandits (small climax coming ~ please read on ~)

At night, Wu Fengdeng asked for leave from the steward of Yang's mansion and rode to the Jixia Academy.

Tomorrow is May, and the debate conference of the Jixia Academy will also begin. It so happens that he has to go out with the army to suppress bandits, so I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a long time.

So I took advantage of my free time tonight to look for Jiang Qiyu.

In front of the bamboo building, there is a small pavilion made of bamboo, wood and thatch, built by the water. The sparkling moonlight floats in it, and it looks very peaceful in the quiet night.

It is now approaching early summer, and the evening breeze is refreshing. Wu Fengdeng pulls up his red dress, half exposing his chest, and soaks in the evening breeze, feeling leisurely and contented.

"Because the Taoist family is in Qin, my master said that I am still an outer disciple now. I must reach the level of Tongjing and be promoted to an inner disciple before I can go to Qin Jixia Academy."

"I am only in the middle stage of strengthening bones now. Master said it will take at least two months to advance to the stage of opening meridians."

"But there is another way. I just need to win the first place in the competition next month and prove myself. Then Master can lead me to Qin as an elder."

Jiang Qiyu sat beside him and asked curiously, "Brother Fengdeng, why do you want to go to Qin?"

Wu Fengdeng put his hands behind his head and said calmly, "Because in the current world, only Qin is a peaceful and clean place."

As a vassal state, the Qin State in this world is also the most powerful, and its historical trajectory is very similar to what he is familiar with.

If they move to other countries, they will inevitably be displaced under the iron hoof of Qin. It is better to get rid of the disaster once and for all by entering the heartland of Qin and avoiding the disaster of war.

Moreover, the Qin State now respects Legalism and has strict laws. It is the only place in China that can communicate with the modern world.

Even though the law still has many imperfections, it is already very rare.

Taking all factors into consideration, Qin is undoubtedly the most suitable place.

To put it bluntly, Wu Fengdeng just wanted to live well with Jiang Qiyu.

There is nothing wrong with seeking benefits and avoiding harm.

"You are right. Master has always said that the strategy of the six kingdoms uniting together is indeed powerful, but it still cannot destroy the powerful Qin."

"From the perspective of Heaven, the Sixth Qin was valiant and his foundation is unshakable."

Jiang Qiyu smiled sweetly: "Brother Fengdeng and Master have the same opinion, they really have seen the bottom line!"

Wu Fengdeng replied lazily: "How can I be compared with Master Yisu? I just know something you don't know."

"By the way, Qiyu, has the Yin-Yang family been doing anything recently?"

She shook her head. "Since Li Yan got humiliated last time, Yin Yang Family seems to have behaved well. Li Yan has not been here these days. I heard from the academy manager that he has taken many days off at Yin Yang Family. It seems... something happened to Prime Minister Li."

Wu Fengdeng nodded slightly and said, "Let him be. You must not leave Master Yisu's side these days. It is not too much to stay close to him. Just be careful."

He didn't know whether the fight between the Yang Mansion and the Xiangguo Mansion would affect the Jixia Academy, but he was very clear that he was involved and Li Yun and the others would definitely target him.

Now that he has the trump card of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, Jiang Qiyu is still unclear, but this is an extraordinary period, so it is better to be careful.

"Go back, wait for me to come back after suppressing the bandits."

"Uh-huh!"

……

At noon the next day, a group of 5,000 soldiers came out of the military camp, with the huge flag of the Weiguo Army and the flag of the Yang Mansion fluttering in the wind.

The people in the places he passed by retreated one after another, lowering their voices and daring not to make a sound.

At the front of the imperial guard camp, Wu Fengdeng rode on a black-maned horse, holding a simple sheepskin map in his hand.

Xu Shan was clearly in the center.

Rather than calling it a mountain, it is more like a group of rolling mountains. Although a single mountain is only more than 300 feet high, the size of the group cannot be underestimated. "I heard that there are more than 8,000 bandits in Xushan, led by a fierce bandit named Pan Jiulong, who once served as a vanguard deputy general in the army and has reached the Tuodan realm."

"They are usually honest and just do some robbing and looting. Diqiu has never paid any attention to them."

"However, during the battle last month, a trap set by bandits accidentally injured a messenger, causing a delay in military intelligence, so the defenders on the eastern front fell into a difficult situation..."

Wu Fengdeng looked at the briefing in his hand and his eyes suddenly became relieved.

It turned out that it was because of this that the army on the eastern front was trapped and unable to escape, so when he was under Zhao Tiande's command, he had the task of escorting food and grass.

"If the messenger is killed during the war, the nine clans will not be enough to eliminate the evil spirits. No wonder such a large army is mobilized to suppress the bandits this time. The Yang Mansion's personal guards are all out, and the remaining soldiers are all elite soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles."

"But is General Yang taking these bandits too seriously?"

Wu Fengdeng looked up and saw the elite soldiers around him who were armed to the teeth, with a hint of doubt in his heart.

This bandit suppression was not originally the responsibility of the Yang Mansion, and the messenger on that day was not a soldier from the Yang Mansion. But why did General Yang take the initiative to volunteer to take on this task?
Moreover, all the people he sent out were his absolute elite confidants, and he didn't seem to be worried at all that these people might encounter any accidents.

"Xu Shan..."

He then looked at the map again, and after a brief comparison, he found that Xushan was more than 200 miles north of Diqiu, which was a relatively remote location.

Wu Fengdeng narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

A journey of two hundred miles is neither far nor near. The five thousand elite soldiers walked and stopped many times, and finally arrived at Dinghua County in the southern part of Jizhou where Xu Shan was located in the early morning of the next day.

The official road was already filled with officials of all ranks in Dinghua County, from the blue-robed county magistrate to the knife-wielding yamen runners, all with expectant and respectful expressions.

Boom!
There was a dull sound from the drum cart in the army, and the army immediately stopped.

"I, the magistrate of Dinghua County, am here with all the men and women in the county to welcome the elite soldiers from the Yang Mansion!"

The county magistrate took two steps forward and bowed at a right angle, showing the utmost courtesy.

A middle-aged man in his forties got off the sedan chair. He had a sparse beard and handsome and resolute features. It was Yang Shouzheng, the second elder of the Yang family.

"General, you have come from afar and are exhausted from the journey. I have prepared a sumptuous banquet to welcome you!"

The county magistrate's smile was so thick that it seemed a bit flattering and funny.

This is normal. For the county magistrates below, the Diqiu Yang Mansion is in a high position, and it is not excessive to be respectful in front of them.

However, Yang Shouzheng just glanced at everyone calmly, then nodded and said, "You are welcome."

"We are here to suppress bandits this time, so there will be no banquets or anything like that. We will first hand over the matters of suppressing bandits."

After saying this, he waved his hand and led his army into the city.

Wu Fengdeng placed the Hongli Spear and the Tear-Wind Bow on the horse's back and followed behind Yang Shouzheng.

As soon as we entered the city, we smelled a strong smell of burning and there were some ashes floating in the air, like a battlefield.

Looking around on both sides, most of the buildings around the city gate were burned down, with black and gray scorched earth and residual fire on the beams. Some people stood on the roadside with dull eyes.

They were wearing... let's call those rags clothes for now, all of them were dyed black, only their eyes still looked bright.

But they are all empty and soulless.

　Thanks to you all, I was able to successfully revive the second round this week.

　　After tens of thousands of words, the first volume will come to an end, which means raising troops and fleeing, killing everyone who should be killed.

　　The author here again respectfully asks all the big guys to help me click to the last page at noon tomorrow and add a follow-up reading to make this book more exposed~~~
　　Kowtow to Ning!!!!
