Who is it?
A sudden shout from ahead put all the guards of the Prince's Palace on high alert.
Upon closer inspection, Mu Yunyan was also somewhat stunned.
He couldn't help but sneer, "Heh! There are actually people blocking our way! Don't they know who we are? They're really overestimating themselves!"
Thinking this, Mu Yunyan spurred his horse forward, and the soldiers of the elite cavalry behind him also gripped their sabers tightly, ready to fight if things went wrong.
Who are you?
They stopped ahead, and Mu Yunyan asked loudly.
The woman did not reply, but looked him up and down and said, "Indeed, he is from the Prince Xin's mansion!"
I heard that the people of Prince Xin's Mansion recaptured Dingli County, but did not carry out a large-scale massacre.
Moreover, it provided a place for the people in the county to live.
Is this really true?
"I believe that the Prince's Mansion has always acted with integrity and uprightness!"
Mu Yunyan replied calmly, still remaining vigilant.
"That's good!"
The woman laughed heartily and said, "Since the Prince Xin's Mansion is so benevolent and loves its people, then I, Bai Fenglan, can no longer continue to be an outlaw."
Please convey to His Highness Prince Xin that I, Bai Fenglan, and all the people of Qingfeng Village are willing to pledge our allegiance to Your Highness!
"Bai Fenglan? Qingfeng Village?"
Mu Yunyan paused for a moment, seemingly trying to recall where he had heard that name before.
"What happened?"
Just then, a Tiger Warrior soldier ran over and asked, "Captain of the Valiant Cavalry, what happened?"
His Highness is asking why we stopped?
"fine."
Mu Yunyan waved his hand, turned around and ordered, "You all continue to keep watch, I'm going to see His Highness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yunyan turned his horse around and headed back.
Upon seeing Mu Yunyan arrive, Li Xin asked, "General Mu, what happened up ahead?"
"Your Highness,"
Mu Yunyan dismounted and clasped his hands in a fist salute, replying, "There is a woman ahead who claims to be Bai Fenglan from Qingfeng Village. Having heard of Your Highness's righteous deeds, she wishes to submit Qingfeng Village to Your Highness."
"Qingfeng Village? Bai Fenglan?"
Li Xin pondered.
A guide standing nearby had his eyes light up and said, "Your Highness, Qingfeng Village is actually going to surrender."
This is a good thing!
"how?"
Li Xin turned to look at the guide and asked, "Do you know Qingfeng Village?"
"Your Highness,"
The guide replied, "Qingfeng Village is famous far and wide."
The head of the household is a woman named Bai Fenglan.
They've been bandits for four or five years now. Although they're not very powerful, even the former boss, Zhao, didn't dare to mess with them.
She commanded a hundred or so female soldiers, each one formidable and no less impressive than the men!
The nearly one thousand people of Qingfeng Village farm and work to protect themselves; they never rob or plunder, making them a rare exception among the bandits of the Dongning Mountains!
"Oh?"
Li Xin's eyes lit up, and he became interested. "So, Bai Fenglan really is someone special!"
How did she, a woman, become the leader of Qingfeng Village?
"Your Highness,"
The guide continued, "I heard that five years ago, Bai Fenglan's family was a prominent family in Shuangcheng Prefecture."
The Bai family owns dozens of acres of fertile land in Shuangcheng Prefecture and employs over a thousand servants.
The old master of the Bai family was a kind and generous man who took in many displaced people to work as servants.
These actions, however, offended the then prefect of Shuangcheng.
The prefect of Shuangcheng frequently harassed and mistreated the Bai family, citing their malicious harboring of civilians and the keeping of their servants.
Despite the Bai family's repeated concessions, the situation has not improved.
Later, when the grassland bandits invaded Shuangcheng Prefecture, the prefect of Shuangcheng sent people to search and confiscate the Bai family's property on the grounds that they were colluding with the bandits.
The Bai family's accumulated grain and property were all looted by the Shuangcheng prefect, and the old master Bai was arrested and imprisoned, causing the Bai family to fall into misfortune.
Later, the bandits on the grasslands became powerful. The prefect of Shuangcheng surrendered to the bandits and was killed. The surrounding prefectures and counties were ravaged by the bandits.
Bai Fenglan was furious, so she gathered the original servants and guards of the Bai family to form a guard team to fight against the grassland bandits.
Lacking sufficient strength, they retreated to the mountains and became outlaws.
That's how Qingfeng Village came to be!
Since meeting Qingfeng Village, Bai Fenglan has always upheld the style of the Bai family patriarch, being charitable and helping the people.
Therefore, within a radius of hundreds of miles, Qingfeng Village had the best reputation and was the village that the people were happy to visit.
Unfortunately, other mountain strongholds couldn't stand it and set up obstacles everywhere, which prevented Qingfeng Village from continuing to grow stronger.
Even so, no other mountain stronghold dared to harbor any designs on Qingfeng Village.
"I see."
Li Xin suddenly realized what was going on.
In this light, Bai Fenglan is indeed a righteous bandit!
Such a heroic figure, and a woman at that, piqued Li Xin's interest.
"Let's go take a look!"
Li Xin said calmly.
Immediately, accompanied by Wei Dahai and Mu Yunyan, they arrived at the front of the group.
Upon arriving here, Li Xin immediately spotted a woman in a smart outfit, riding a horse ahead.
The woman had a curvaceous figure, and her shapely clothes accentuated her graceful physique.
Her face, with its well-defined features, possesses a natural beauty even without makeup.
He held a large sword in his hand, his bright eyes fixed on Li Xin.
Wow!
So cool!
Li Xin couldn't help but nod inwardly; this woman was quite comparable to the female soldiers of later generations!
"I am Prince Xin, Li Xin!"
Li Xin smiled and asked, "Are you Bai Fenglan from Qingfeng Village?"
"That's me!"
Bai Fenglan replied loudly.
"Women are just as capable as men; truly a heroine among women!"
