The turbulent winds and clouds outside cannot affect the small place of Laohu Town. The heavy snow for half a month has turned it into an isolated island.
The Qiao family still ran, practiced martial arts, and learned to read every day, and their lives were routine. But the changes in everyone were clearly visible, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they had been reborn.
Qiao Yunxin is indeed the descendant of a military commander, and the gene for marching and fighting is engraved in his bones. He may be a step behind his brother in reading and writing, but he is very good at deploying troops and battle formations.
In every duel rehearsal, Qiao Yunting was always defeated. Even Qiao Yunqing went from being able to handle the situation with ease in the beginning to only winning half a point now.
Qiao Yunqing was secretly surprised. His elder brother was born with the potential to be a military commander, but he had no one to guide him in his previous life, so he was delayed. Fortunately, Qiao Xin was there to teach him in this life. It was not too late.
Qiao Xin not only taught him swordsmanship, spearmanship, and archery, but also began to slowly teach him military tactics and strategies through stories. Dajing took a turn after the Sui Dynasty. The last emperor and the new emperor were also cousins, and they had many things in common with Qiao Xin's world.
She spent 10 merit points in the system and rented a month's worth of improved videos explaining various strategies and military books. She watched them all in bed, and then crammed them for the Qiao family every night. As for how much everyone could learn from it, it was not up to her.
This is not Qiao Xin's fault. She is used to being overwhelmed by power. Who would want to think about those conspiracies and tricks every day? Isn't it better to walk the straight road? If the other members of the Qiao family were not so weak in martial arts, she wouldn't have to do these things! Qiao Yunqing's brain full of tricks is enough to deal with it, why does she need to use the enhanced version!
The dog system persuaded her to rent it to her for only one month! Why did you go to fight for hegemony when you agreed to farm? She also wanted to farm well, but without a peaceful environment, no matter how beautiful the landscape and countryside she built, it would not be enough for others to take.
Time was running out and she had no time to be picky. The heavy snow had lasted for a whole month, causing widespread snowstorms in the north and freezing temperatures in the south.
It was inevitable that the nomadic tribes would go south to plunder resources after the spring. It was not impossible for the barbarians in the southwest to attack Weizhou again.
The imperial court will most likely expand the scale of recruiting soldiers, and it is not impossible that two out of three will go. At that time, the most likely scenario for their family is that the eldest and third sons will go to the battlefield at the same time.
Qiao Yunxin shot through the bull's eye again and was about to take a break when she heard Li Zhong rushing in with sweat all over his forehead, "Madam Qiao, something bad has happened! The money from selling meat has also been robbed!"
"Robbed? In this snowy day, there are still people going out to rob? Where are they?"
"It's at my house. I'd like to ask Uncle Mo to go take a look first, and then I'll come to you to discuss a solution!" Li Zhong felt terribly sad. This was the third time. The first time they only robbed the money, but Qiao Xin's share was not in it, so they couldn't ask Qiao Xin for help.
But the goods delivered this second time were in partnership with Qiao Xin, and the bulk of the goods was the tiger skin that Qiao Xin hunted.
The Fan family originally sent someone to meet at the city gate for this delivery. Except for Qiao Xin, who had to train at home, all the other hunters were dispatched. Unexpectedly, they were intercepted as soon as they got on the official road. Not only did the other party demand the goods, but they also injured people.
If we keep it a secret, the other party will probably kill or burn someone!
A total of three people were injured. In order to protect the prey, they fought with the other party! As a result, his arm was cut. He rested for ten days and half a month.
But when they saw Qiao Xin coming over, they all lowered their heads in shame: "Auntie, we lost our things!"
At the beginning, they solemnly promised Qiao Xin that they would be able to deliver the things, so Qiao Xin did not go out to show support. Now look what happened, how embarrassing!
"I'm glad he's okay. Did you see who he was?"
"They are the bandits from the back valley. I saw one of them when I came to the village last year!" When Wang Da Kui talked about the bandits, he wished he could drink their blood and eat their flesh!
When he first moved here, he didn't know that his wife had been killed by bandits, his father had lost his life, and his mother had lost an eye. Unfortunately, he was not at home that day! He couldn't even take revenge.
Later, the bandits came several times during the harvest season, and everyone was forced to resist. Although the outcome was not good, it also made the other side cautious.
Unexpectedly, the other party was still staring at them!
Qiao Xin was stunned and asked, "Bandits? Why haven't I heard you mention them before?"
"The bandits around Weizhou Prefecture are like the tigers and wolves in the mountains. The government has suppressed them several times, but each time it was just a lot of noise but little action. Later, they just let it go.
Originally, they just wanted things and didn't hurt anyone, but in recent years, for some reason, their appetites have grown, and they want things that hurt people. This place is a no-man's land, so anyone can bully us."
No wonder even beggars are unwilling to come to such a nice house in Laohu Town. It turns out there is this reason.
Li Zhong saw Qiao Xin looking at him and said, "We didn't dare to tell you because we were afraid that you would move away once you heard about it. Then we would really have no hope."
It seemed that Butler Fang had indeed told her that there was a lot of work to do in Laohu Town, but Qiao Xin didn't take it seriously. She thought she was specifically referring to those beasts, but she didn't expect it also included bandits.
"Okay, I got it. You take care of them first and leave the rest to me!"
As soon as Qiao Xin got home, she said to her son who was practicing in the yard, "Pack up, I'll take you to see some blood tomorrow!"
Qiao Yunxin was stunned, "Where are we going?"
Qiao Yunting raised his spear and asked excitedly, "Are we going up the mountain again?"
"Yes, we went up the mountain. But this time we fought the bandits. I had heard that the bandits in Weizhou Prefecture were also in groups, and the degree of harm was no less than that of wolves and tigers. It was also their credit that the caravan did not dare to enter. I wanted to keep my distance from them,
