C79 Bandits Ran Amok

Could it be that Ye Qingcheng was really escorting the youths of the Fu Family to the south? Did he not think of leaving? Could it be that he did not want to return to the main army?

No! Of course he had thought about it. Not only did he think about it, but he would also think about it when he was free.

That day, he brought the first batch of Great Zhou surrendered soldiers into Zhangzhou City. It was mainly because Ji Jiang had selfish motives. Fu Ting was right. The retreat of the Zhangzhou army was too strange. The Great Zheng army was afraid of being ambushed. After a series of tough battles, the Great Zheng Army had suffered heavy losses. The lack of military strength was a fact that could not be avoided.

Letting the surrendered soldiers be the vanguard could be used as a test to see if they were truly loyal to the general. Secondly, it could save the Grand Marshal's military strength. These five thousand surrendered soldiers of the Great Zhou could be said to be the vanguard. To put it bluntly, they were pathfinders who would send themselves to their deaths. As for the Grand Marshal, because of the riot and the subsequent disloyalty of the three armies... Ji Jiang had lost half of his confidence. Since he had requested to be the vanguard, ___ would let him be.

As a result, the moment they entered Zhangzhou City, the first prince of the rear army suddenly made a move and shouted, "The surrendered soldiers have rebelled. The Grand Marshal has surrendered to the enemy." He led his personal subordinates to attack from all directions.

In a rush, the Grand Marshal had no choice but to lead the surrendered soldiers to fight to the death and open up a bloody path. To the capital. Flee. He knew that he had fallen into a trap before he even arrived in the capital. How could the First Prince let him escape so easily when his forces were three times greater than his own? His goal was to force the surrendered soldiers to protect the marshal and run in the direction of the capital. He wanted to prove that they had defected to the enemy.

But even if the marshal had really defected to the enemy, he was still Ji Jiang's biological son after all. His mother was currently doting on him. The crime of killing his own brother was too heavy. Even the First Prince could not bear it. The strategist beside him had instructed him to not do it personally unless absolutely necessary. Thus, he came up with a plan to force Marshal Nan to escape.

The First Prince's plan was sinister enough. He left a way out for Ji Cheng. If he wanted him to die in the hands of the Great Zhou capital's defense army, he would not dare to send too many troops to hunt him down. However, he did not expect that the capital was already an empty city. The surrendered soldiers had escaped from the capital all the way to Mount Qi. The Grand Marshal became a fish that slipped through the net.

It was only a matter of time before he returned to the main army and took back everything that belonged to him, but it was impossible for him to leave immediately. Putting aside the fact that he had promised Fu Zhizhi that he would accompany him down south, he would not be able to return in a short period of time just to talk about the predicament he was facing.

Ye Qingcheng had to wait until his master, Qii Liufeng, found out the truth. He had to wait for his father to weaken his son's power and regain his trust. He understood the situation he was in. He would be killed before he could even get close to his father.

One failure might not be enough to wake the Twelfth Prince up, but a near-death experience was enough for him to see his own flaws. In particular, he knew that Fu Zhizhi would occasionally discuss current affairs with him, and he also understood that he wanted to become the king. The difference between what he had learned and what he had learned was too great.

Then, he thought about the few masters who taught him his own knowledge. None of them could match up to half of Fu Ting Zhi. Thus, he decided to take them under his command. After a few innuendos, his heart quickly died. He thought about how the first prince had been doted on by his father for many years, and how his authority had stabilized. If he wanted to weaken him, it would not be overnight. It would be good to escort them south. Along the way, they could learn more about the path of a ruler, which was also considered to be beneficial to each other.

Of course, the most important thing was that he wasn't at ease. If he wasn't at ease, Fu Ting would drag the three ignorant brats down into the river. To be precise, after spending some time with them, he was certain that these people would leave him. With his own survival ability, it was impossible for him to safely reach his destination.

Regardless of whether it was to find an excuse to stay or worry about him, it was obvious that he was worried about them. That person had all of his thoughts, and he could not bear to see him tired or sick.

Ye Qingcheng was thinking about this. He would find a boat and leave the capital after reaching the River of Wealth before thinking about the problem of leaving. No matter what, he had to send them to a relatively safe place.

The illness in the pavilion came and went quickly, and it was only a few days later that it had fully recovered. The women of the few households who had obtained silver were quick to move their hands and feet. A few pairs of thick cloth shoes fit their feet on the day they set off.

Ye Qingcheng then asked the farmers to buy some dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms. He dragged some people to sew a piece of clothing with coarse cloth to change into a new one and added a thin blanket. After everything was done, he left for Fan City.

The farm was not far from Fan City, so there were small roads in the countryside that could be used. After walking for half a day, they finally got on the official road. After walking for another hour, they saw thick smoke rolling in the direction of Fan City. There were bags of shoes scattered all over the road. There were personal items in the discarded cart.

"The Big Dipper Army is here..." Ye Qingcheng stretched out his arm and stopped the group behind him: "Go hide in the grass, I'll go take a look."

The pavilion grabbed him: "It's not the righteous army, it's the rebels." Pointing at the official road, he said, "This road leads to the capital. If the civilians avoid the righteous army, then... We should not run in this direction, Fu Zhizhi said." He turned around and called for Xuan Zhi and the others to follow. "There is no fire in the smoke. It must have been burned for more than a day. The thief should have fled long ago. "

Fu Xuan picked up a bag and looked at it. "Brother, we can use these clothes after they are washed." He walked to a cart and said, "There's also an earpot here. That's great." He had already picked up a pot the size of a washbasin.

When Fu Ting heard this, he smiled and said, "Listen, it's only been a few days, but Xuan Zhi already knows what it means to be diligent and thrifty. It's rare."

"Big Brother!" Fu Xuan Zhi was not embarrassed when he was teased. Instead, he refuted seriously, "Big Brother Ye talked to me about long-term plans the other day. Look at our luggage. He had almost finished all the dry food in his undergarments, not to mention the thick clothing that was ready for autumn. "

... "" This was the first time his brother had robbed him of his white clothes. It was only after a long while that Fu Ting came back to his senses. When he took another look, Fu Huarong also followed him and searched, looking for things that could be used. When he turned around, he saw that Ye Qingcheng was staring at him with a pair of crafty eyes. The smile on her face made him feel uncomfortable, "If you want to laugh, then laugh. There is no need to hold it in."

"Let's enter the city?" Ye Qingcheng put away his mischievous expression and asked with a serious expression: "Ting Zhi, are you sure that all the bandits have left?"

"Hmph!" The pavilion snorted a few times and took the lead with a flick of his sleeve: "They stole the things they needed and set off a fire. It is clear that the bandits have no intention of staying in the city." However, he was thinking since when did this guy conquer the hearts of his brothers? I actually still don't know.
