Chapter 360 Capturing Bandits and Bringing Them Back to the Capital

"Of course, this is from my mother's dowry. My mother was a fierce daughter of a military family, but she married my father, a weak scholar, so she had no place to use her skills. Since coming to the academy, my mother has gradually started to tell me about her childhood, which I greatly admire. I probably won't be able to fight in this life, but since I've finally encountered such an opportunity, I feel I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't show off my skills." The girl holding the soft sword had bright, sparkling eyes.

On their way to the grassland, they encountered those who blocked their path. She wanted to stand up for them, but Mr. Yuan and Princess Lin dealt with them so easily, which left her feeling quite regretful.

She absolutely cannot miss this opportunity again.

I heard there are quite a few bandits this time, and since she's fought so hard, she should be able to get one.

Because she knew that she wasn't the only student who shared this view.

What's more, there are so many guards watching us intently, their eyes practically red with rage! It's not easy to snatch a spot to kill bandits from them.

The guards had been well-fed and watered along the way, and they hadn't really had a chance to do anything. They were feeling a bit embarrassed about receiving such a high travel allowance.

I never expected to encounter a group of bandits so close to the capital.

Perhaps the strong mare's milk wine on the grasslands made them so passionate; or perhaps they had stayed in border camps and were tainted with the blood and guts of warriors.

Knowing that there were bandits ahead, they were all filled with rage and couldn't wait to capture a few and take them back, just to make their trip worthwhile.

This was a little different from what she had imagined. Daiyu felt that she might not even need to lift a finger, although she did want to catch a few bandits so that she could show off back in the capital and give Granny Yuan some face.

Daiyu glanced at Mi Ling, who looked utterly helpless, and thought to herself that things had developed in such an amazing way.

Finally, looking at the expectant students, Mi Ling said helplessly,

"Personal safety should be the top priority. Let's act within our capabilities."

This statement implies that the academy will not prevent them from confronting the bandits, nor will it change their route.

The students and guards, eager to catch the bandits, began to prepare.

Following their normal route, they might encounter bandits this afternoon or evening.

Lan Su had already found out that this band of bandits numbered about 800, and all those who could act this time had come out, totaling about 600 people.

Of these 600 or so people, only about 100 were relatively strong fighters; the rest were a mixed bag, coming from all sorts of backgrounds.

Lan Su was initially worried that if these bandits were like the heroes of Liangshan Marsh, they would be difficult to deal with.

However, she secretly tested the skills of a few people, who were said to be the leaders of the mountain stronghold with excellent martial arts skills.

As a result, none of them could withstand three moves from her.

In the end, Lan Su concluded that the skills of these leaders were far inferior to the Wing Chun that Mr. Yuan had taught Daiyu.

Lan Su felt much more at ease.

Besides the students and their maids and servants, they also had about two thousand guards and one hundred imperial guards.

Leave 500 guards and 30 Imperial Guards to protect the students, while the rest of the guards and Imperial Guards can suppress the bandits.

As for the students who were eager to join the bandit suppression, they were given better guards to accompany them.

If Daiyu hadn't insisted on taking matters into her own hands, Lan Su would never have allowed these students to fool around with her.

In her opinion, this was just adding to the chaos, and having to allocate manpower to take special care of these girls who were going to participate was really troublesome.

Daiyu changed into a neat and tidy outfit, with the protective soft armor that Yuan Hongqu had found for her underneath. She checked the sleeve arrows on her wrists again.

She thought for a moment, then returned to her spatial dimension. She remembered that she still had quite a bit of the same medicine that the old woman had used to deal with the robbers last time, and she wanted to bring some with her as a backup.

Upon entering the space, she saw a huge envelope on the coffee table in the living room, as if afraid she wouldn't notice it. It had the words "Urgent! For Daiyu's personal attention" written on it.

Daiyu's heart skipped a beat. She went over and opened the envelope. Inside, it indeed mentioned the bandits, and that General Liu had already led his troops to suppress them. If they didn't want to encounter the bandits, they could set up camp where they were and wait three days before leaving.

Yuan Hongqu had anticipated that this group of girls wouldn't stay put and wait patiently for General Liu to finish suppressing the bandits before setting off, so she later told Daiyu some precautions and strategies for dealing with bandits...

Daiyu thought for a moment, then took the letter and left the space.

"Dean Mi, my nanny can't come out, so she wrote me a letter. Please take a look at it too."

Of the entire team, Mi Ling was the most unsettled.

She knew that Yuan Hongqu had left ahead of time, and she suddenly felt an immense weight on her shoulders.

Originally, as long as Yuan Hongqu was still in the team, even if she did nothing, Mi Ling and the teachers would do everything. Mi Ling felt very at ease and at ease.

But ever since Yuan Hongqu left, Mi Ling felt like she had lost her backbone, and everything she did lacked confidence. She felt empty all over.

Daiyu showed the letter to Miling to put her mind at ease.

Mi Ling must stay in the rear and absolutely cannot cause any trouble. After all, most of the girls are not going to the front lines to fight bandits; this place is the most important.

As expected, Mi Ling's mood changed immediately after seeing Yuan Hongqu's letter.

She never considered that the study tour group had only just learned about the bandits, so how could Yuan Hongqu have written a letter so quickly? Even if it were sent by carrier pigeon, it wouldn't have been this fast.

All she knew was that Hongqu was aware of the banditry and had anticipated that the students might go to suppress the bandits.

Mi Ling immediately felt that her pillar of support had returned, and she just needed to do as Yuan Hongqu had said in her letter.

In fact, Yuan Hongqu didn't say anything specific, but Mi Ling only needed to say a few words, which was enough for her to implement.

Seeing Dean Mi become energetic again, several girls covered their mouths and laughed.

"It must have been our Dean who pointed out the way for Dean Mi, otherwise Dean Mi would still be worrying about what to do!"

“Our Dean Mi is actually quite capable, but why does she seem to know nothing without the Dean’s instructions?”

"Don't talk nonsense. I heard it's because of the bad deeds committed by Dean Mi's former husband's family that she has this kind of mental illness..."

The girls who weren't going to fight the bandits gathered in small groups, chatting about harmless gossip.

The bandits they encountered on their journey from the capital gave them quite a show, and eventually became teaching material for their lessons.

Even if there are a lot of bandits this time, what's there to be afraid of!

They didn't take these bandits seriously at all.

Unexpectedly, someone was still kidnapped this time.
