Xianjin's heart began to pound when he heard this.
Sister, how dare you think like that!
Just the four of them?
Xianjin's eyes shifted stiffly towards the four horses that were leisurely eating grass with their nostrils flared not far away.
Add these four horses?
Xianjin's expression successfully amused the bearded man next to the woman.
The broad-faced bearded man said "Hey", and turned to look at the woman with a half-smile, "Miss, this little girl actually doubted our ability!"
Xianjin's mouth twitched: Unless your four horses immediately grow fluffy white wings and put on golden armor - otherwise, it is hard for me to believe that you four have the fighting power to take down a den of thieves.
Xianjin glanced at the guys who were lying on the mule cart, sprinkling wood ash on their wounds to stop the bleeding and then tying them up with gauze to prevent excessive blood loss. The Zheng brothers were in good condition, but Zhou Ergou was in very bad condition. His injured legs and arms were exposed to the air and the wounds were horrifying. He had gradually become silent and dull from the initial excitement and extreme fear. Now he was lying on the shaft of the mule cart with his eyes tightly closed. Suo'er and Mother Zhang were wiping his body with clean silk handkerchiefs on the left and right, but it was of no avail.
Xianjin frowned and pursed his lips. They needed medicine, doctors, a quiet environment and clean water. Otherwise, if they were infected in ancient times, they would be skinned alive if not killed.
"Let's go!" Xianjin gritted his teeth and said with all his might, "In ancient times, Zhuge Liang sang the empty city plan, and now there are four heroes who are ruthlessly prying the bandits' den! Maybe we can make a small effort to achieve a great result, such as a surprise attack at night and burn down the village? Our Chen family is rich, and I have banknotes on me, or we can bribe a few spies, cooperate with each other, and break through from the inside and catch them off guard!?"
This skill of killing people and preventing fires is beyond the business capabilities of Xianjin. For now, I can only come up with these two immature suggestions.
This time it was the woman who was amused. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she smiled, "Where did these ideas come from?"
Xianjin said, "...the book?"
Of course, it comes from many excellent literary and artistic film and television works.
The woman smiled and shook her head. Facing the golden sunlight, she squinted her eyes and looked down the mountain. She gently waved to Xianjin and whispered in his ear in a gentle and even voice, "A good general will not fight an unprepared battle. Similarly, a good sister will not brag without confidence."
Xianjin followed her gaze and suddenly got goose bumps on his back.
In the towering woods at the foot of the mountain, there was another cavalry hidden.
The cavalry consisted of about a hundred tall horses in uniform brown color, and about a hundred men in dark robes and waist belts. Oh no, not all of them were men. Xianjin clearly saw several women with their hair tied up high in buns sitting upright on their horses with their chests puffed out and their backs straightened!
This group of horses!
Like an army!
The solemn and murderous atmosphere even gave Xianjin the illusion of being a Navy SEAL!
Dense hairs stood up from the dense goose bumps.
This...who is this person?
Is she the daughter of some powerful general? Or... is she the general?
Xianjin was dumbfounded. He looked at the waiting horse team at the foot of the mountain, then looked up at the beautiful sister in front of him. After a long while, he swallowed his saliva, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I am grateful for your kindness. My name is He Xianjin. He is the one who congratulates, Xian is the one who shows, and Jin is the one who represents gold. I am now living in the Chen family as the head of the workshop. The middle-aged man in the powder blue coat is my stepfather, named Chen Fu, the third son of Xuancheng Chenji. The rest are the shop assistants, Zhou Ergou, Zheng Da, Zheng Er, Zhang Ma, Suo'er..."
Xianjin's eyes skipped over Baozhu and he went into detail about the composition of the personnel, where they came from and where they were going, which street, which house and which tile they lived in.
The woman looked at Xianjin with interest, "Why did you explain it to me so clearly?"
Xianjin swallowed his saliva again, his eyes solemn, "Please rest assured, when we return to the city, even if there are thousands of swords on our necks, we promise not to say a word!"
The woman's eyes were playful and full of surprise.
This meant that she should be assured. Revealing her identity honestly would mean that once the news of her traveling with troops leaked out, she would be able to find the person who leaked the information without any difficulty.
She is a very smart girl.
The woman looked at Xianjin's bloodstained hands and his stern raised eyebrows, and realized that she was also a very brave girl.
The woman nodded slightly and patted Xianjin's shoulder calmly, "Alright, there's no time to lose. It will be difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop after the birds are scattered." The woman looked back with a stern expression and ordered in a stern voice, "Lift up these twelve bodies! Lao Bing!"
The broad-faced and bearded man came out in response!
"Pass the order! Let the monkeys investigate on the ground and find out where the bandit camp is!"
"The team will go ahead and find out the number of troops in the bandit camp!"
"Team Gen and Team Dui will be the rear guards, cut off the entrances and exits, and strictly control those who pass through the forests. Be alert to bandits who disguise themselves as hunters and take the opportunity to pass on information!"
"Si Li, Si Qin, find the temporary wooden house built by the hunters in the mountains and settle the injured and the girl from the Chen family!"
"Si Li, Si Yuan, go find the nearby farmers to get information about the bandit camp!"
It was a long set of instructions, which the woman gave calmly and calmly, and which were followed in an orderly manner by her subordinates. After an order was issued, the corresponding personnel would ride out on horseback, bow and take the order, and retreat. In no more than twenty breaths, all the instructions were received.
Show the golden screen and concentrate your mind.
Monkey = scout.
Gantuan = vanguard soldiers.
Gen team and Dui team = withdraw troops.
Li, Qin = logistics.
Li Yuan = spy.
Thanks to his father, a nouveau riche middle-aged man who was fond of military channels in his previous life, Xianjin was very sure that this was clearly a well-trained, well-coordinated and combat-experienced... army.
Xianjin lowered his eyebrows, closed his eyes and spoke silently.
No matter who this woman is, she is not someone that the current Chen family or she is able to reach - in the storybook, the plot where the heroine holds onto the golden thigh and becomes successful from then on is not so realistic in reality.
Think with your toes.
More than a hundred elites, all in plain clothes, took the small path, looking dusty and in a hurry, speaking a very standard Mandarin accent. They came from the north and left in a low-key manner.
What are they going to do?
It must be a very important, but top secret thing that cannot be told to outsiders.
The court, the army, the secrets... no matter which word it is, if an ordinary person is involved, he will die if he is not careful.
This is different from dealing with Prefect Xiong.
The consequences of dealing with Magistrate Xiong are still controllable.
This consequence...she doesn't even know the cause, so what consequences can she expect!
Xianjin shrank her neck back, trying hard to make herself non-existent - she was not the heroine, she could not make connections in a blatant and noisy way, she could not be in the spotlight and be a conspicuous person, she was just a dung beetle who tried hard to live a better life within the rules.
After the woman finished her instructions, she glanced at the little girl in the dark brown coat huddled on the side like a quail, and praised her in her heart, saying, "What a perceptive girl!"
