Although Luo Yuan usually looks a little "unreliable", at this time his eyes are like a hawk, staring very seriously and not missing a single detail.

This time they gained a lot.

It looked like there were at least four or five truckloads of goods. They must have robbed a wealthy businessman passing by, so they had such a big haul.

The leader of the bandits was a one-eyed man who looked ferocious and vicious, which was really suitable for his identity as a bandit.

Following him were the so-called second in command and third in command.

One is as strong as an ox, the other is as thief as a rat. Just by looking at them, you can tell what their purpose is among these bandits? Of course, they are the ones who charge into battle and the ones who scheme behind the scenes.

Zheng Deli did not waste a moment and watched carefully. They were never careless when dealing with situations like this where there might be a fight and soldiers might get injured or killed.

The wind blew through the woods, startling a flock of birds.

It was no different from any other day, so the bandits didn't find anything wrong and returned to the village happily, planning to hold a celebration banquet.

After they all left, Luo Yuan imitated the sound of birds singing. Soon, the soldiers lurking around gathered together and smiled calculatingly.

"What do you want to do? The general has already told us to report back if we get any good news. Don't act on your own!"

Although Zheng Deli said this, he was actually rubbing his hands together.

Those who came with them were all familiar with their style of doing things. They naturally understood that there might be a war to be fought in advance, so there was some excitement in their eyes.

"A walk through the celebration party?"

"What tricks are you planning?"

"Wouldn't it be better to capture these bandits without any soldiers? Why do we have to resort to knife and gun?"

"Drugs again! You are the deputy general of the Tiger Guards. You have a prestigious position. Why do you do these sneaky things every day?"

Zheng Deli had a look of disgust, but was then outwitted by Luo Yuan.

"I'm just asking you whether you want to go or not, why are you talking so much!"

"go!"

Zheng Deli is a person who says one thing but does another. He says he disagrees with Luo Yuan's dirty tricks, but he is the fastest when it comes to executing them! Hearing this, Luo Yuan looked like he knew it.

So, as the wind blew, a group of about ten people, under the cover of the mountains and forests, quietly ran towards the bandits' lair.

At the same time, in the Huben Army, Shang Ji looked at the military report sent from Cezhou, and his expression improved a lot.

Du Jingyi recently said that he would join hands with the Han family to grow Cabernet Sauvignon and melons in Cezhou, and some results have been achieved in Cezhou.

Although the fruits grown are not as good as those from the Western Regions in size, color and sweetness, the difference is not too big. According to the military report, the craftsmen of the Han family are already thinking of ways to improve them, and I believe they will be able to come up with some good suggestions soon.

After the fruits of their two families have proven to be effective, he will arrange for the farmers in Cezhou to plant this fruit as well, which will increase their income and make their lives better.

"Reply to Shao Shengming and tell him to fully support the Han and Du families. If necessary, you can also use the connections that grandfather left in Cezhou to help them get this done."

"Yes, General."

The one who answered Shang Ji was Liu Xun, who had been traveling back and forth between Cezhou and Sui'an City for a few months. He was originally a secret intelligence agent, so it was nothing for him.

But he remembered something and then spoke.

"General, the young lady has used our spies in the city to find out some trivial matters in the various families."

"Don't interfere. Madam has her reasons for doing this. Just follow her instructions."

"I understand. In addition, there is one more thing I want to tell you. I wonder if I should tell you."

"You've been with me for so many years, and you still can ask this question?"

Shang Ji glanced at Liu Xun. Although he didn't lose his temper, the gaze from top to bottom still made Liu Xun feel a little oppressed.

"Yes, I spoke out of turn. The seventh daughter of the fifth house of the Duke's Mansion entered the Prince Min's Mansion half a month ago as a concubine and became a concubine of Prince Min. I heard that she is very favored."

When he heard this, Shang Ji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Shang Qi Niang? Has she become Prince Min's concubine?"

"yes."

"What identity?"

"She is the adopted daughter of the owner of a cloth and silk shop in Sui'an City. She changed her name to Ling Xinlan. I have carefully investigated this owner Ling and found that he has a close relationship with the Zhao family."

"Zhao family?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The Zhao family again? I never knew they had such a long arm.

My daughter married into the Seventh Prince's Mansion a few days ago, and the whole family became an important member of the Fourth Prince's faction. Now, through the Ling family's connections, they have been connected with the Min Palace. They really cannot be underestimated.

But why did they suddenly come to Shang Qinnan?

This made Shang Ji a little confused.

Shang Qiniang, Shang Qiniang, what kind of benefits would make the fifth family willing to ask their daughter to change her name and become a concubine, and hand over this great opportunity to the Ling family?

After thinking about this in his mind, he said to Liu Xun.

"Send this news to the young lady and tell her that if she has nothing to do, she can ask about it."

Shang Ji still had other things to deal with, not to mention that this involved many matters in the harem, and it was not convenient for him to always go and pry into them. Therefore, if Du Jingyi was interested in this matter, he could learn a thing or two about it, and it would also give her something to do so that she would not be bored.

"Yes, General."

After receiving the order, Liu Xun left in a hurry, but the Huben Army was still filled with the sound of training, which never stopped.

General’s Mansion, Xitang Courtyard.

Du Jingyi was a little surprised when she saw the news sent by Liu Xun, but she quickly grasped the root of the problem and then said something to Liu Xun.

"If Mr. Liu has nothing to do, can you help me check if Wu Lang from the Fifth House has got any good job?"

The reason why the Fifth House was able to be so generous must be because of Wu Lang.

The fifth old lady always complains that this is the only child among their five families, so naturally they would use their granddaughter's future to supplement their grandson's future. I'm afraid they can do that.

As for Shang Qinnan's biological parents, Du Jingyi felt that they were useless.

One of them values ​​money more than anything else, and the other is a coward. They can't really help her much. When thinking about her actions when she was still in the Duke's Mansion, Du Jingyi even suspected that this idea of ​​"sacrificing herself for the family" was her own. After all, she had wanted to leave the hole in the fifth room for a long time.

After hearing Du Jingyi's words, Liu Xun immediately answered "yes" and then disappeared without a trace.
