Chapter 441: Shameless
When Zhou Yunshu arrived at the camp, she looked at the private soldiers around her who were wearing simple armor and were in an orderly manner. She inexplicably felt like she was back in the Zhou family camp.
The way they stand guard and patrol is almost identical to that of Zhou's army.
But think about it, although these 3,000 elite soldiers are following Zhan Chuan now, they were all trained by Zhou Yunzhi before, even Zhan Chuan was trained by Zhou Yunzhi.
The place where Zhanchuan kidnapped people was in the middle of the camp.
When Zhou Yunshu brought Wu Gui and others over, the tall Zhan Chuan was interrogating a man wearing light brown armor.
The man's arms were tied behind his back, and even though he was face down on the ground, he still glared at Zhan Chuan, who was taller and stronger than him.
"ah?"
When Zhou Yunshu saw who the person on the ground was, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
When Zhan Chuan heard Zhou Yunshu's voice, he kicked the person under his feet away, turned around and saluted Zhou Yunshu, saying, "Master."
Zhou Yunshu nodded to Zhan Chuan, then looked at Cui Hongbo, who was lying on the ground with eyes full of resentment.
Yes, the man who was caught and tied up by Zhanchuan was called Cui Hongbo. He was also the captain of the garrison who brought his men to report the news when Zhou Yunshu first started patrolling the village.
"Master Cui."
Cui Hongbo looked at Zhou Yunshu in surprise, "It's you!"
When Zhou Yunshu saw that Cui Hongbo recognized her, she asked Zhan Chuan beside her to pick Cui Hongbo up.
It was inconvenient for both of them to talk with him lying on the ground like this.
After Zhan Chuan easily picked up Cui Hongbo and put him on the ground, he still couldn't help but glared at Zhan Chuan fiercely.
He could only stare. After all, if he could have won, he wouldn't have been caught by Zhanchuan just now.
But he never imagined that he would meet Zhou Yunshu again one day, and he never thought that the ferocious bandit in front of him would be Zhou Yunshu's subordinate.
Would this tall and strong bandit with extraordinary skills really listen to the words of a weak scholar?
It turns out, he actually listens.
Not only does he listen, he's also very perceptive.
After Zhan Chuan put Cui Hongbo on the ground, he picked up a chair from not far away and placed it behind Zhou Yunshu. Then he looked at Wu Gui who was standing next to Zhou Yunshu, thought for a moment, and kicked the person next to him to move the chair.
Zhanchuan was a little upset because his subordinates were not as perceptive as he was.
Zhan Chuan, who was very perceptive, made Cui Hongbo almost drop his jaw in shock.
It’s a bit rude of him to be so attentive as an old man!
"Master Cui returned to Yuncheng to become a thief?"
Cui Hongbo: “…”
Can she speak? What does it mean that he came back to be a thief!
Cui Hongbo's gaze was too direct. Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "Otherwise, how could you have been caught sneaking around like that?"
"Am I being sneaky? I'm scouting for the enemy!"
Zhou Yunshu leaned back in her chair, looked at Cui Hongbo and asked, "Where did the enemy come from?"
Cui Hongbo was almost shocked by Zhou Yunshu's shamelessness and said, "You occupied Yuncheng without permission. Aren't you still an enemy?"
Zhou Yunshu said innocently, "Master Cui is wronging us by saying this."
"When we arrived here, it was a deserted city with few people. There were no government officials, let alone government offices. Apart from a few more buildings, it wasn't much different from the wilderness."
Zhou Yunshu leaned forward slightly and said to the indignant Cui Hongbo, "It's a waste to leave this ownerless deserted city idle, so I bought it and made it my private fortress. It's just that my fortress is a little bigger and has a little more people in it."
Cui Hongbo was completely shocked by Zhou Yunshu's shamelessness. Is this because the fort is a little bigger and has a little more people?
Isn't she taking advantage of the situation?
Seeing that Yuncheng is now even more heavily guarded than before, how could she have the nerve to say this.
"Occupying the city privately? Are you planning a rebellion?"
"Master Cui, you are too kind. I really bought this fortress."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the indignant Cui Hongbo, but she did not get angry at his repeated questioning. Instead, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect Lord Cui to be so loyal to the emperor and patriotic."
"Are you mocking me?"
"No, I mean it sincerely."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the other three men wearing similar armor to Cui Hongbo and asked, "Master Cui brought a dozen men to report the incident and get reinforcements. Did they arrive?"
Cui Hongbo was silent. If he had moved here, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"It seems not." Zhou Yunshu looked at Cui Hongbo curiously, "Since you didn't move in, why didn't you just leave?"
When Cui Hongbo heard Zhou Yunshu's question, he angrily said, "We are Yuncheng's garrison. Of course, we must live and die with Yuncheng!"
I left in the first place in order to get reinforcements to save Yuncheng. If I can't get any, I will have to go back to Yuncheng and live and die with Yuncheng.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the people who shared the same hatred for the enemy, nodded seriously, and said to Zhan Chuan beside her: "Untie them."
Cui Hongbo looked at Zhou Yunshu warily, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Who is this person, and why does he have such great power? Could he really be a bandit?
While Cui Hongbo was waiting for Zhou Yunshu's answer, he had already made up his mind that if Zhou Yunshu was really a bandit who wanted to rebel, he would definitely inform the prefect of Haizhou about it after he escaped.
He didn't care about the pirates coming ashore to rob before, but now that someone wants to rebel in Haizhou, he should do something about it!
"Master Cui, you don't have to be so wary of me."
"I'm just an ordinary citizen who loves his country and his people. I just want to do my part to protect my own people and the people near Yuncheng from pirates and bandits."
"I'm a good person."
Cui Hongbo: “…”
He looked at Zhou Yunshu speechlessly. How could a good person say that he was a good person? Someone who said that he was a good person so blatantly was probably not a good person.
At least now Zhou Yunshu is full of hypocrisy in Cui Hongbo's eyes, even though she looks very kind.
“Hearing is believing, seeing is believing.”
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said to Cui Hongbo, "Instead of you bringing people to secretly inquire outside, why don't you come with me and see what I am doing."
Cui Hongbo, who was untied, looked at the well-trained private soldiers around him, and especially glanced at Zhan Chuan who had been staring at Zhou Yunshu.
He didn't seem to have any other choice now, "Let's see."
Cui Hongbo and his men joined Zhou Yunshu's inspection. Zhan Chuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally chose to believe Zhou Yunshu's choice.
Anyway, everything Zhou Yunshu did had her own purpose. Maybe she had a crush on Cui Hongbo.
When leaving the camp, Zhan Chuan led a 500-man elite force into the city according to Zhou Yunshu's instructions, leaving 300 elite cavalry and other infantry to guard outside Yuncheng.
