Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Cui Jun had already led his troops far away, but Liao Qun remained where he was.

Another detachment of troops led by a eunuch was waiting for the enemy to the south, waiting for the two sides to converge and return to the city together.

After waiting for a long time, the eunuch returned with a large number of troops.

They didn't look like they had been in battle.

Liao Qun asked, "Eunuch Wei, how was the battle on your side?"

Wei Xiaohong shook his head, "Perhaps it was the same as the previous two times. Where's Lord Cui? Doesn't he usually stay with you?"

After waiting for so long, Liao Qun felt a little regretful.

This made it seem like he was deliberately trying to frame Cui Jun.

After a moment of silence, he said, "He took the troops to kill the enemy."

Wei Xiaohong's mouth slowly widened, and he said in surprise, "What! Isn't that going to his death? I told him several times that this is a plan to lure the enemy, why did he still go?"

"He thinks the opponents are just chickens and dogs, and he thinks he can handle it," Liao Qun shook his head, "Forget about him, let's go back to the city!"

"Ah? Uh... General Liao, why don't we wait a little longer? After all, he was sent by the higher-ups," Wei Xiaohong reminded him.

The two had worked together for a long time and had a good relationship. Wei Xiaohong knew his place.

The arrangements on the battlefield were basically under Liao Qun's command.

Now that the matter was of great importance, he kindly offered a few words of advice.

Just as he was pondering, a soldier suddenly came to report: "Reporting, General! There are reinforcements from the capital, specifically here to find us."

Reinforcements?

Liao Qun frowned. Now that there were enough troops, why would the capital send reinforcements?

"Bring them over to take a look!"

The soldier responded and turned to leave.

Soon, he led Zhou Tie over with big strides.

Before Liao Qun could speak, Zhou Tie said, "General! I am here to support you on the orders of the Crown Prince. This is a letter from the Crown Prince, please examine it."

Liao Qun did not dare to neglect and hurriedly took the letter to examine it.

Sure enough, it was a letter from the Crown Prince, with the seal of the Eastern Palace on it.

However, why would the Crown Prince send someone to support the battlefield?

Liao Qun thought for a while, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

The Crown Prince was known for his love of martial arts in the army. He must have secretly gathered some men to come up and show off.

Inexperienced, this is really child's play... I wonder if His Majesty knows.

Liao Qun raised his head and asked Zhou Tie: "How many people did you bring?"

"Including me, two hundred and one."

"......, Where are the others?"

"Shanwei City wouldn't let us in, they are all waiting outside the city. Only I came to see the General first to verify my identity."

"Understood, let's go, back to the city."

Liao Qun nodded helplessly.

Two hundred people, isn't this a joke? What's the use!

But since it was sent by the Crown Prince, he had to take good care of them. It would be better to let them rest in the city.

Wei Xiaohong didn't dare to say much and listened to Liao Qun's command. The main force began to turn around.

But at this moment, a group of soldiers suddenly ran over from a distance, looking flustered and shouting.

Everyone turned around to look.

Wei Xiaohong immediately exclaimed, "Those are our people, Lord Cui is back!"

Liao Qun nodded with a solemn expression.

When those soldiers ran closer, the leader immediately knelt down in front of Liao Qun.

Liao Qun sighed and then asked, "Were you ambushed?"

"We were ambushed, we lost more than three hundred people..."

"Where's Cui Jun?"

"He was shot to death by random arrows... The body has already been brought back."

Cui Jun is dead!?

Wei Xiaohong's face turned pale and he shouted, "Quick! Quickly bring the body over!"

Cui Jun's body was carried over, his death was tragic... More than twenty arrows were stuck in his body, and three were stuck in his face alone.

Wei Xiaohong and Liao Qun suddenly felt a headache!

Damn it! He died so quickly... And so tragically. It seems we can only cremate him and make up a story in the memorial.

Zhou Tie also curiously leaned over to take a look.

His expression showed a trace of admiration. He had heard the name of this Cui Jun from the Crown Prince.

He didn't expect the civil officials of Da Jing to be so brave, taking up arms and going into battle themselves... No wonder the Qian Kingdom was defeated.

But his IQ was a little low, he was the only one wearing fancy clothes, he deserved to be shot.

"Alright, carry him away! Take the dead and wounded brothers with you and return to the city to make further plans," Liao Qun ordered.

The main force began to move again.

On the way, Liao Qun looked gloomy and didn't bother to talk to Zhou Tie, wondering what he was thinking about.

Wei Xiaohong took the initiative to approach Zhou Tie and asked, "You are sent by the Crown Prince, what is your status?"

"Jinyiwei... Ah, it's reservists!" Zhou Tie replied instinctively, but after thinking about it, he felt it was not right and quickly added.

Wei Xiaohong's eyes lit up: "Great! You are from my Uncle Fang's people?"

"Who is Uncle Fang?" Zhou Tie asked puzzled.

"Fang Zheng Yi, Lord Fang!" Wei Xiaohong covered his mouth and smiled: "Since you are from my Uncle Fang's people, I will take good care of you. You may need some time to adapt to the environment of Yishun before you can fight. The mosquitoes here are poisonous and it's humid. If you need anything, just tell me, I will definitely help if I can."

Oh!

Zhou Tie was happy.

The master also has a eunuch relative, his connections are really wild! This makes things much easier. He was still worried about not being able to get along well.

Zhou Tie rubbed his hands and said, "Eunuch, can you get some meat for our two hundred brothers? One pound per person will do. We have been eating dry food for the second half of the journey, and many people are starving. Now they are shouting that they want to eat meat."

Wei Xiaohong was dumbfounded after hearing this: "Eat... Eat meat? What kind of meat to eat?"

"Any kind of meat will do. They usually eat more pork and mutton. Beef and donkey meat are best."

Zhou Tie felt a little embarrassed after speaking. These people of his were really too capable of eating, they didn't hold back at all.

Eating was one thing, but after eating, they had to exercise. As a result, the supplies hadn't arrived yet and the jerky was gone.

He wanted to buy some fresh meat along the way, but he didn't expect it to be difficult to buy!

Wei Xiaohong was embarrassed. He really couldn't agree to this matter. He had to wait for Liao Qun to speak.

Eat meat... The headquarters doesn't even eat meat a few times a month. You two hundred shameless guys come up and want to eat meat, I can't do it!

Liao Qun glanced over coldly and said, "You can stay if you want, or you can go back to the capital if you don't want to. I don't raise young masters here!"

Zhou Tie laughed dryly and did not answer, muttering in his heart: Young masters? It really can be considered young masters, but the food standards in Taoyuan County are much better than what ordinary young masters eat.

My young masters have lost a circle of weight, one of them can beat five of you!

Judging from his attitude, this General Liao doesn't seem easy to get along with.

But don't rush to explain, wait for the brothers to rest and then talk to them slowly.

Outside Shanwei City, the two hundred people from Taoyuan County had been waiting for a long time.

It was just too hot, and they were still sweaty even with their shirts off.

As Liao Qun approached with the main force, he immediately widened his eyes and turned to look at Zhou Tie: "Are these the people you brought?!"

The two hundred burly men in front of him were all big and round, with shiny muscles all over... Damn, they are stronger than me!

And he eats meat every meal!

Are these strong men in front of him still soldiers?!

Wei Xiaohong's eyes were also shining, and he was extremely excited.

Zhou Tie smiled faintly: "General Liao is right, these are the young masters I brought."

Liao Qun's face gradually turned red, and he nodded lightly: "Okay, I will give you two hundred taels of silver, and you can find a place to live in the city yourself. I don't care whether you go out to fight or not. But once you want to go out, you must obey my orders! Unauthorized action, kill without mercy!"

After speaking, he rode into the city.

Wei Xiaohong shook his head as he looked at his back and said, "His words are military orders, don't disobey them! You are people sent by the Crown Prince, you can go or not, and you are also my Uncle Fang's people, I advise you to take your people and live obediently in the city, and then find a time to go back, there is no need to suffer this crime. You are called Zhou Tie, right?"

"Yes."

"Brother Zhou Tie, have fun here, and don't forget to say a few good words for me to Uncle Fang when you go back, remember?"

This eunuch is a bit interesting!

Zhou Tie grinned and smiled: "Remember."

Wei Xiaohong also smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Good! Good! You are new here and unfamiliar with the environment. I happen to have time to take you around. You can ask anything you want to ask."

Zhou Tie looked at the somewhat dilapidated city wall, touched his chin and thought for a while and said: "Are there prostitutes in this city?"

"? ? ?"
