Chapter 232 Elite Soldiers (Update 1)

Jiang Zhiluo quickly ran to the door of her house and saw Wei Xingye standing at the door, his body covered in blood.

Jiang Zhiluo was shocked, "What's wrong with you?"

Wei Xingye's eyes were red, but he controlled his emotions and said, "Master, this is not my blood, it is the blood of my brothers in the escort agency."

"Master, do you have any way to save them?"

"There are several brothers. Doctor Qiu said there is nothing he can do."

Those people were all brothers from the escort agency, partners with whom he had gone through life and death together on missions.

He couldn't bear to watch them die.

He thought that his master was so powerful, he wondered if there was any way.

Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed and she asked, "Did Doctor Qiu tell you to come see me?"

"No, it's just that Dr. Qiu couldn't help it, but he didn't say anything."

Doctor Qiu kept the young master's instructions in mind and naturally would not disclose any information about Jiang Zhiluo.

Jiang Zhiluo was surprised that Wei Xingye really believed her.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll help you check it out."

With that, Jiang Zhiluo quickly went into the house to get the medicine box, said something to Old Madam Cui, and then got on Wei Xingye's carriage and went to town.

In fact, Jiang Zhiluo's medicine box has always been kept in the space, but in order not to expose the space, she ran into the house.

In the carriage, Wei Xingye told Jiang Zhiluo what happened.

"We accepted a mission to deliver two truckloads of medicinal herbs to Ningzhou. We didn't expect to be robbed by bandits on the way."

Jiang Zhiluo frowned and said, "Your martial arts skills are not weak. Ordinary bandits can't do anything to you."

Wei Xingye said solemnly, "They don't look like ordinary bandits. They are well-trained in combat, have good coordination, and are well-armed. Otherwise, our brothers wouldn't have been injured so badly."

It is normal for the escort agency to encounter bandits while delivering goods, but they have experience in dealing with bandits.

Moreover, they are also good at martial arts and have a lot of people with them, so ordinary bandits can't do anything to them.

They also knew the fighting styles of some bandits, so they were not afraid at all.

Jiang Zhiluo asked, "Where are the herbs?"

"The medicinal materials were stolen!"

Because the medicinal materials were robbed, the losses had to be borne by their escort agency.

Wei Xingye was in a very heavy mood.

Jiang Zhiluo said, "They look like a well-trained army."

"They look well-trained in combat, clearly the work of the military. I just don't know if they are on the Emperor's side or Prince Duan's side."

"Perhaps there are other forces trying to take advantage of the situation."

"During war, medicinal herbs are also extremely precious things, and they cannot be bought with silver."

"Soldiers who are injured need medical treatment and need medicine."

Jiang Zhiluo analyzed the situation and felt that it was a bit serious.

Wei Xingye thought to himself, Master is really amazing, he can analyze the problem in one go.

"My father said the same thing when I came back."

"It's just that we deliberately avoided Qingzhou and didn't accept any missions there. This time we deliberately bypassed Qingzhou and passed through the nearby Ningzhou. Who would have thought that..."

Jiang Zhiluo said, "Once a war breaks out, it will affect all places. Some of the effects will be visible on the surface, while others won't."

"You don't have to blame yourself. In a situation like this, the most important thing is to save your life."

"As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."

Wei Xingye was originally blaming himself and feeling heavy-hearted.

But after listening to his master's words, he felt much better.

Wei Xingye clenched his fists and said, "Master, do you think there are people like this in Beizhou who disguise themselves as bandits and rob people?"

Jiang Zhiluo said, "So your escort agency should also make preparations early."

"Especially since the autumn harvest is only a month away, it will be the time to harvest grain. Where there is grain, there will be no peace."

Jiang Zhiluo had seen it in her dream before.

So it’s better to prepare early.

Their village and Xingshan Village are all prepared, and everyone will move to the mountains in advance.

The grain will also be harvested a few days earlier, the sooner the better.

When Wei Xingye heard these words, he felt as if a bolt of lightning had suddenly split open his chaotic brain.

Yeah, why didn't he think of it.

"Master, thanks to you telling me that we need to stock up on food, my parents secretly stockpiled some food in case of emergency."

"I'm just worried that if the garrison doesn't make any moves, those forces will break into the county and steal the food."

At this moment, Wei Xingye also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Jiang Zhiluo asked, "Does your Wei family have escort agencies in other cities?"

Wei Xingye nodded and said, "Yes, but they are just to facilitate our missions and to pick us up. There are fewer people assigned to us, unlike here, which is the headquarters of the escort agency."

Jiang Zhiluo thought for a moment and said, "Then do you know how the fight between Prince Duan and the Emperor went?"

These two people are simply competing for that position.

"After fighting for a while, the army trained by Prince Duan was no match for the imperial court. The emperor dispatched elite troops to suppress the rebellion, but for some reason, every time Prince Duan was unable to hold on, a force seemed to come to his aid. I heard that the higher-ups suspected someone was behind Prince Duan, but these were all rumors, and no one knew whether they were true or not."

"Anyway, the war is still going on, and there's no way to put down the rebellion. The emperor wouldn't dare start a large-scale war, because if he does, the enemy country will lead its troops to attack the border, and our Yun Kingdom won't be able to withstand it."

Jiang Zhiluo raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wei Xingye, "You actually know all this."

"That's right. We are escorting people to various places on missions, so we must be aware of this information. Otherwise, if the court makes any move, we won't be able to avoid danger if we don't know."

"We should avoid dangers that can be avoided in advance. For example, if there is a war, we will not accept missions there."

"My father said that it would be beneficial for us to learn more about this information and learn how to analyze it."

Jiang Zhiluo nodded, it was indeed true.

As if she had thought of something, her expression froze, and she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of elite troops are these sent by the imperial court?"

Wei Xingye thought for a moment and lowered his voice before saying, "It's a team that was disbanded from the former Wei family army."

Jiang Zhiluo's heart skipped a beat as she asked, "Didn't the Wei family soldiers die on the battlefield back then?"

"Yes, but there are still 20,000 Wei family soldiers left in the capital. They are young soldiers who have just been trained for a short time. Many of them are only sixteen or seventeen years old. General Wei did not take them to the war. He thought that if they trained for another two or three years before going to the war, their survival rate would be higher."

"Who would have thought that General Wei and the others were dead? They said we were collaborating with the enemy and treason, but we absolutely don't believe it."

"Even though these soldiers haven't been trained by General Wei for very long, they are recognized as elite. I heard they are different from other soldiers."

Jiang Zhiluo's heart was pounding as she asked, "What's the difference?"

"I can't really say. I heard people say it was their blood, energy, and abilities that made them stronger than other armies. Later, even though they used the same training methods, I heard they still couldn't compare to these people."

"I don't know what kind of charm General Wei has."
