"The Prince of Chengguo is well-known in our northern land..."

"The prince of Chengguo can ride a horse at the age of three..."

Lao Jiu's low voice continued in the room.

Three years old, do we have to start learning this from an early age?

Ding Dashan couldn't help wiping his sweat.

"Brother Laojiu," he interrupted hurriedly, "it turns out that you are very familiar with the Prince of Chengguo."

Lao Jiu shook his head.

"Not familiar." He said crisply.

Not familiar? You speak so enthusiastically about not familiar, as if he were your own son.

Ding Dashan and others were speechless again.

"Although we are not familiar with each other, who doesn't know someone like the Prince of Chengguo? At such a young age, he has the talent to maintain national security..." Lao Jiu continued.

Stop, it comes again.

Ding Dashan and others interrupted.

"Yes, we think so."

"The Duke of Chengguo's son is indeed an extraordinary warrior."

"We have heard of your great name for a long time."

Everyone talked about it.

"It's a pity that I have no chance to meet you." Lao Jiu nodded and said.

Their identities were somewhat special, but even though they were considered heretics by the court and the army and were to be eliminated, they still respected Duke Cheng and his son so much, which showed that they were truly willing to kill the enemy.

"Brother Laojiu, you are really good men." Ding Dashan said sincerely.

"There is something we will not hide from you." Mao Tietou suddenly said from behind, "The prince of Chengguo may be here. He wants to go to the north, but now he is being pursued by the court. The news has spread, and the Jin people will definitely want him too."

"So we hope that if you meet the Prince of Chengguo, you can help him if you can." Ding Dashan also hurriedly said.

"Although we cannot help you openly, we will definitely give you convenience in private." Military leader Wang also said.

Lao Jiu looked at them and smiled.

"We are leaving for this purpose," he said, "We want to find the Prince of Chengguo and escort him back to the North safely."

So that's how it is. This is actually the purpose of their coming here. This is also the arrangement of Duke Cheng.

I just said that there is no father who doesn't care about his son.

That makes sense.

Solving the problem of the gold thief in Kaide Prefecture not only stabilized the court, but also eliminated the danger for his son.

Duke Chengguo was indeed far-sighted and could win the battle thousands of miles away.

I admire you.

"We're leaving now." Lao Jiu stood up and bowed.

It's really neat and clear, except when talking about Duke Cheng and his son.

But it is understandable that people tend to talk more to people and things they admire.

Ding Dashan and others hurriedly bowed and saw him off, watching Lao Jiu walk out of the barracks. As he walked, soldiers from all around him gradually came out, seemingly unintentionally, but slowly gathered behind Lao Jiu and soon disappeared into the night.

…

In the dead of winter, the streets of Qingyuan Prefecture are even more deserted.

But it's much better than the previous one.

Some shops have even reopened.

The Jin soldiers still did not retreat, but they did not cross Duke Cheng's defense line. In addition, the latest news came that Kaide Prefecture was also recovered, and the wandering Jin soldiers were cleared out one by one.

The rear is relatively stable.

"If you have anything to say, just tell us and we'll come over. Miss Jun, don't always come in person." The shopkeeper of Qingyuan Mansion said as he escorted Miss Jun out.

Looking at the dozen men standing in the yard.

Although there are more people than before, the situation is still unstable now. What if a small group of Jin soldiers break through the defense line and come in to rob and kill, just like what happened in Kaide Prefecture? What use will these dozen men be?

"Just by the way." Miss Jun said.

What do you mean by the way? Is it just a convenience to come to Qingyuan Mansion? The shopkeeper was a little puzzled. He saw Miss Jun had already gone out and got on the horse, and more than a dozen men also got on the horse.

"Boss, please go back. If you have anything, just let me know and I'll be right there." Miss Jun said.

I sent you a message, please come over. This seems to be the opposite, right?

The shopkeeper looked at the girl with some helplessness and amusement. After being here for a short time, she became the host and he became the guest.

Miss Jun's group of people walking on the street attracted a lot of attention and made the street lively.

"Miss Jun."

Passersby greeted him respectfully and happily.

Miss Jun didn't leave, which shows that Qingyuan Mansion is definitely stable and everyone can stay here with peace of mind.

Although Miss Jun did not treat them, they could consult doctors in the city for any difficult or complicated diseases, which was undoubtedly like a pillar of support for everyone.

The news spread gradually, and not only in Qingyuan Prefecture, but also in several nearby prefectures, the people felt relieved.

It was more effective than the previous government officials’ repeated appeasements.

"Having this little girl here is more useful than having two thousand soldiers garrisoned here." This thought made General Peng laugh.

"I still can't understand why Miss Jun wants to stay here? The north is already so dangerous." Governor Zhou sighed again as he watched Miss Jun and her group walking in through the city gate.

"Your Excellency is wrong," General Peng said gruffly, "I didn't run away even when there was danger."

There was really no point in talking to this rough guy, so Governor Zhou glared at him.

"She is a little girl from another place. How can she be the same as us? She doesn't eat royal food," he said.

"Mr. Zhou, you are too narrow-minded." General Peng patted his armor and said, "Whether you are an official, a soldier or a civilian, you are all citizens of the Great Zhou. It is your duty to protect your home and country."

You are the only one who knows the most! You can't even recognize ten Chinese characters, and yet you're giving me a lesson. Magistrate Zhou ignored him and walked quickly down the city gate, nodding and smiling at Miss Jun.

Miss Jun dismounted and saluted Prefect Zhou and General Peng.

"Thank you for your hard work, adults," she said.

Prefect Zhou and General Peng waved their hands hurriedly.

"It's not hard, it's not hard. It's our duty and we will eat the salary from the king," they said.

After saying that, I felt something strange again.

This young lady seemed like a superior who came to express his condolences.

"Miss Jun, please be careful when you walk." Prefect Zhou put away his strange thoughts and said with concern.

"Let us escort them." General Peng said loudly.

"Absolutely not." Miss Jun said, her voice was gentle but it was firm, "Now the enemy is in the territory, and Duke Cheng has issued repeated military orders not to use the soldiers for personal purposes."

General Peng was stunned by what she said and his face turned slightly red.

"Besides, I know how to behave when I go out." Miss Jun said with a smile, "These good guys are more than enough to protect my safety."

These good guys...

General Peng and Prefect Zhou looked at the men around her. These men had simple faces and looked very dull. They were the mountain people of Zhangqing Mountain.

Apart from seeing the horse rope and several heavy arrows that day, General Peng did not have any contact with these mountain people again. The shock and fear at that time had long dissipated. Besides, these mountain people could be persuaded and obeyed by a young woman, which meant they were just some ignorant mountain people.

Fortunately, there are a lot of people and they can scare people.

"There are sentries stationed nearby. If there is any danger, Miss Jun must call for help immediately." General Peng said with a plastic surgery.

Miss Jun nodded in response, mounted her horse, and left the city gate under the escort of a group of people.

"You really won't escort him?" asked Magistrate Zhou.

"No need. Nowadays, there are almost no bandits in the territory." General Peng said, "Some have been killed, and some have fled upon hearing the news."

Thinking of this, Governor Zhou was also quite emotional.

In times of chaos, there are many bandits and robbers. This has always been a problem. Since the war broke out, many bandits have appeared in Qingyuan Prefecture and the people have been robbed. However, the military force is tight and these bandits come and go at random, so there is no energy to kill them.

But soon news came that many of the bandits had been killed and their bodies were hanging.

As for who did it, there is no clue.

There are many people fleeing nowadays, and wealthy people will hire bodyguards. Perhaps these bandits were short-sighted and robbed these people, and were killed instead.

No matter who killed them, it would be a good thing for the government to eliminate these bandits.

Standing on the city gate, I saw that the streets in the city were clear and the people were orderly. If it weren't for the soldiers who were keeping the city gates closed and waiting in strict order, Qingyuan Prefecture would look no different from before, with no trace of the chaos and panic of war.

This is really unimaginable, and I don’t know which god or Buddha had this effect.

No matter which god or Buddha it is, thank God for his protection. Zhou Zhifu, the disciple of the saint, couldn't help but say it silently in his heart.

"But."

General Peng suddenly thought of something and said.

"It seems that a relatively fierce bandit has appeared in the territory."
