Jiang Hai had never seen his cheap wife so cautious, so he didn't say anything and just listened to what was said on the other side.
Soon, Spy A spoke up,
"Now that we're in southern Xinjiang, it's such a huge place. How can we find people? It's such a headache."
"Let's split up once we get out of here, in pairs, and go to the counties below to look for clues."
"That's all we can do. What the hell is wrong with this prince? He's already sent two hundred palace soldiers, and he still wants us to investigate."
"Hey, hey, hey, you're here again. Why can't you get along with money? What's the matter? Are you thinking about love again? Are you missing your lover in the brothel?" Spy B teased.
"Tsk, you're talking as if you don't have a lover in the brothel. I don't know how beautiful that young lady from the general's mansion is that the prince can't forget her."
…
After listening for a while, Jiang Hai and Yuchi Ziling finally understood that these people were sent by Yang Zhe.
Jiang Hai sat in his seat, tapping his fingers and thinking about how to deal with this problem. After thinking it over, he decided that he had to arrest him, otherwise he would be mixed up in the new city and cause more trouble.
"Wenzhi, Qin Bai, can you handle these two tables of people? Take them back to work and don't let them wander around." Jiang Hai asked.
"Oh, sure, young master. Shall we catch it now?" Wenzhi said while gnawing on a chicken leg.
"If you are sure, then do it. If you are not sure, go and call more people over."
"Is it okay to break tables and chairs?"
"That's fine, just build as much as you want, I'll pay for it."
As soon as Jiang Hai finished speaking, Wen Zhi and Qin Bai looked at each other and nodded, then they stood up and walked towards the two tables next to them.
When the other side saw the two tough guys coming over, they all looked a little wary.
"Hey, brother, let me have some wine." Wenzhi said.
When Spy A heard this, he relaxed a little and was about to refuse.
Wenzhi quickly moved his hands, grabbed the heads of the two closest people, and slammed them together, controlling the force just right, knocking both of them unconscious instantly.
Qin Bai on the other side did the same thing. In less than two seconds, the opponent's combat power was reduced by four.
The other side reacted and tried to draw their swords. Wenzhi flipped the table over and swung it around, smashing it to pieces, leaving only one leg, and several more people on the opposite side fell.
What followed was a series of bangs and bangs. Xincheng's first and second strongest fighters made a move, and in less than 30 seconds, all the opponents were defeated and lay on the ground motionless.
Those who didn't know would think he was dead. Of course, Jiang Hai said he would capture him, so he was just unconscious and barely breathing. Internal injuries were inevitable.
Wenzhi and Qin Bai clapped their hands, then sat back down to continue eating. Several of his subordinates, the New City soldiers, immediately went to call for more people to tie up the group and take them away.
This time, Yuchi Ziling saw that not only Wenzhi, but also Qin Bai was so powerful, and she admired him in her heart.
Although her kung fu was not bad, she knew she couldn't kill so many people so quickly and easily. If it were her, it would take at least several times longer.
She had just seen these people, and she knew that some of them were actually quite skilled. However, against a monster like Wenzhi, none of them could withstand a single punch or kick.
The noise upstairs caused a commotion in the inn. The innkeeper downstairs was also startled and hurried up to see what was going on.
Jiang Hai stepped forward and gave the shopkeeper a hundred taels of silver, then apologized to the diners on the second floor.
"Excuse me everyone, these guys are our servants. They stole something and ran away. We caught them ourselves. We are really sorry to bother you."
After saying that, he called the shopkeeper over and bought all the orders present today.
The fight ended so quickly that the diners didn't even have time to flee. When Jiang Hai said he'd pay the bill, everyone applauded and even accused the servants of stealing.
"How is it? You have nothing to worry about now." Jiang Hai sat down and continued eating.
"That's amazing! What should we do with these people after we catch them?" asked Yuchi Ziling.
"Send them back to the new city to work for half a year and do some ideological work. Those who can be assimilated will be assimilated, and those who cannot will continue to work." Jiang Hai said indifferently.
Qin Bai thought of taking these people back, so he asked Jiang Hai,
"Master, we have to send someone to take him back. We can't take him to the capital first and then bring him back."
"You can arrange ten people later. That should be enough. Take them back and we will continue to the capital."
Qin Bai nodded in agreement.
The incident at the Nanping Inn didn't affect Jiang Hai and his companions' itinerary. For the next few days, they continued their journey north.
In the carriage, Jiang Hai rested his head on Yuchi Ziling's thigh and said, "I have no desire to live."
"If I had known, I would have taken a boat to the capital and then taken a carriage. This journey is so boring. At least I can go fishing on the boat."
Cai'er felt a pang of discomfort in her throat as she watched the two of them act like this. However, she looked at the hundred taels of silver that Jiang Hai had just stuffed into her hand, and she felt a deep sense of conflict. Finally, she told her throat to stop and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car, pretending not to see it.
During this period of traveling and spending time together day and night, the relationship between the prospective couple has warmed up a lot.
Yuchi Ziling peeled lychees for Jiang Hai and listened to Jiang Hai complaining. She seemed to have thought of something and said,
"I remember we should be near Qianlong Mountain now. The last time Cai'er and I came here, we encountered bandits."
"It seems like we're almost there. It's okay. Qin Bai and the others are familiar with this place, so nothing will go wrong."
The world was in a bad state, and the people were displaced. Qianlong Mountain became the largest gathering place for bandits in the Darong Dynasty.
However, Qianlong Mountain is a large mountainous area with complex terrain and countless hills of various sizes. The imperial court’s attempts to suppress the bandits have been unsuccessful many times, and even resulted in heavy casualties.
However, Qianlong Mountain became the back garden of Xincheng. Often when Xincheng was short of labor, they would come to Qianlong Mountain to catch some bandits.
They were taken back for labor reform and ideological reform, and then became residents of Xincheng. Because life in Xincheng was much better than being a bandit, who would want to be a bandit when ordinary people can live a good life?
"My lady, do you know that Qin Bai and his men used to be bandits in Qianlong Mountain?" Jiang Hai looked up at Yuchi Ziling.
Yuchi Ziling shook her head in disbelief. How could she tell that these well-trained soldiers were completely different from the bandits in the mountains?
"Many people in the new city originally came from here. You know Huang Haitang. He used to be the military advisor of a village. But he's not very reliable. He's not good at military affairs."
"Oh, there is such a thing. What is he good at?" Yuchi Ziling was very curious about the old man.
"Hehe, the gunmanship manual you bought last time was printed by Huang Haitang's factory. What do you think he is good at?" Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows.
When Yuchi Ziling heard this, she immediately understood and pinched Jiang Hai's hand in shame and anger.
"It hurts, it hurts, don't do it. Actually, his main business now is printing, and that kind of booklet is just a hobby of his." Jiang Hai explained.
