Broken Blade Cliff Village.
When the officers and soldiers arrived, the battle was over. They looked at each other in surprise at the corpses all over the ground and the surrendering bandits.
At this time, everyone knew that the people from Qingyan Mountain Qianhu Suo climbed up from the back mountain, but how was that possible? They had surveyed the terrain in order to wipe out the bandits here.
The back mountain is a cliff. Not to mention climbing, even looking up makes me dizzy. There are also bandit sentries on the back mountain. Even if we can climb up, the bandits are waiting for us there, and the officers and soldiers will die.
Unexpectedly, the Qingyan Mountain Qianhu Suo not only successfully climbed up, but also wiped out all the bandits.
When she saw Cao Bing, Leng Qingqiu tightened her grip on the sword. It was the first time she was so close to Cao Bing. She only needed one sword to send him to death.
Pei Yun was afraid that she would act impulsively, so he reached out and grabbed her arm, saying, "Captain Cao, please escort these surrendered bandits back."
Cao Bing smiled and said, "No problem."
Then he called Sima and asked them to tie up all the bandits.
According to Pei Yun's previous idea, he wanted to recruit some bandits to make up 1,000 people.
All of his men are bandits, so he is not averse to recruiting them.
However, after searching several women from the room and listening to their crying, Pei Yun changed his mind. These bandits were indeed committing many evil deeds. Every time they came down the mountain, they killed people and robbed them. They killed all the men and abducted the women to the mountain to play with them.
It can be said that everyone has blood on their hands.
If such bandits were recruited, they would probably be criticized, so Pei Yun gave up his previous plan and asked Cao Bing to take them back and hand them over to Yuan Zheng for disposal.
“Brother Pei, I will lead the people down the mountain first, you take your time.”
Cao Bing was also very sensible. The Broken Blade Cliff Stronghold had existed for so many years, so it must have a lot of money. Pei Yun asked him to take the bandits away first, and the meaning was very clear. He also wanted to search the stronghold.
Cao Bing was not jealous. This time, the bandits were wiped out entirely thanks to Pei Yun. Although he led his officers and soldiers to directly attract the bandits' firepower, such a thing could be done by any captain.
Pei Yun chose him as his partner to give him a part of the credit, so he didn't want to covet the property in the mountain village.
Then Cao Bing led his men down the mountain. Pei Yun let go of Leng Qingqiu's hand only after Cao Bing left.
Leng Qingqiu didn't say anything, just glanced at Pei Yun.
"Qingqiu, these women are really pitiful. How about you send them back?"
Pei Yun spoke up and said that he had not let Cao Bing take the lead before, just in case. Although he did not think that Cao Bing would do anything beastly if he was with the soldiers,
But he was prepared for the worst, so he did not let Cao Bing take him down the mountain.
Leng Qingqiu glanced at the three half-naked women. All three of them were pretty and looked pitiful.
She sighed, "Even if we send them back, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold their heads up high in this lifetime."
The three women cried quietly.
In this era, losing a woman's virginity was a big deal, especially if she was abducted by bandits. Even a county magistrate's daughter like Xue Qianqian could be subject to so many rumors, not to mention the daughters of these merchants.
"How about this, I know a nun from a nunnery outside Qingyang County. There are many women who have the same experience as you who are taken in there. Although the food and drink there are simple, they don't have to face criticism. Are you willing to go?"
"We do."
The three women nodded hurriedly. Even though they were always accompanied by the ancient Buddha and green lamps, they were unwilling to face the pointing and criticizing of the world.
Pei Yun didn't expect Leng Qingqiu to have such connections. These three women were traumatized physically and mentally, so it would be good for them to become nuns so that they can slowly heal.
At this time, Baldy and his companions had already searched the entire village and carried out more than ten boxes filled with copper coins, silver, and jewelry.
Pei Yun said: "Qingqiu, give them three some money. Even though they are going to a nunnery, they still need to have some money on them."
Leng Qingqiu took some silver ingots and took the three women down the mountain.
Pei Yun converted all the money into balance, and prepared to take the remaining jewelry back to the military camp and give it to Yuan Zheng.
When Pei Yun led his men back to the military camp, the officers and soldiers present looked at them differently. In the past, they had doubted the combat effectiveness of these 300 people, but now, the Broken Blade Cliff, which had failed in their repeated encirclement and suppression efforts and suffered heavy casualties, was captured by Pei Yun.
And without losing a single person, this is enough to prove that this army converted from bandits is very strong.
The army worships the strong, and wiping out the bandits can be regarded as revenge for their comrades who had died before, so everyone became enthusiastic about these 300 people.
Yuan Zheng came out to greet him personally.
"Master Yuan, I have accomplished my mission. The bandits at Broken Blade Cliff have been wiped out. Here is the money we brought back."
"Okay, okay, I knew Captain Pei wouldn't let me down."
Yuan Zheng didn't even look at the boxes. To him, wiping out the bandits was more important than anything else. Of course, he was very happy that Pei Yunken brought the money back. Although he guessed that the other party might have embezzled some of it, what did it matter?
Before, when Liu Xiao, Cao Bing and other captains went out to suppress bandits, none of them did not embezzle the money. The military pay of the imperial court was often in arrears, and it was normal for these captains to take the bandits' property and distribute it to their subordinates. Yuan Zheng would not pursue it.
"Captain Pei, I have prepared some wine and food in the tent. Let's eat and talk."
After saying that, he took Pei Yun's hand and went to the central army tent. The generals and officers present were a little envious. Captain Yuan really liked Pei Yun. None of them had ever been treated like this.
However, everyone already knew that Pei Yun was going to become the prince's son-in-law, and since the other party had indeed made great contributions this time, it seemed reasonable for Yuan Zheng to be so enthusiastic.
