The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chu Yan'er's eyes were cold, and she said calmly, "Xiao Lan, why do you think we were able to quell the banditry so smoothly in just one day?"

She thought the bandit problem could be quelled, but she didn't think it could be solved in one day.

By finishing it within one day, she would have gained the upper hand and it would leave her with enough time to deal with other things.

Chu Xiaolan is not a fool either. After being with Chu Yan'er for a long time, she can see through many things.

"Miss, are you saying that the people in the capital are behind this? If so, will they also be behind this in Huaining County? Will His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince fail to suppress the bandits and face even greater danger?"

Chu Yan'er nodded when she heard that. If she guessed correctly, Jiang Fan would not be able to quell the banditry, and if he went to quell the banditry, he might be trapped by the bandits who united together.

Thinking of this, she showed a playful look in her eyes: "Humph... Since these people don't care about their dignity, then what should I worry about? Xiaolan, you lead 900 people to explore the bottom of Weihu Village and Tianlang Village tonight. If they make any moves, stab them in the back."

There were originally four gangs of bandits in Huaining County, the two strongest of which had the advantage of geographical location, making them easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The remaining two gangs of bandits were frightened by Jiang Fan's defeat of the bandit coalition outside Huaining County, and now they joined the other two gangs.

Now, the two gangs of bandits together numbered almost 3,000. Of course, this was because Jiang Fan and Chu Yan'er had killed more than 1,000 of them outside Huaining County. Otherwise, the number would be much higher.

Although Jiang Fan's heroic deeds outside Huaining County intimidated the Huaining bandits, if those people in the capital wanted to do something wrong, they would definitely find a way to attack Jiang Fan in the next few days.

Since the people in the capital are playing tricks on the bandit suppression, there is no need for her to worry so much. It’s okay to secretly help Jiang Fan.

As long as these bandits made any move, she would take the initiative to attack and consume as much of the bandits' manpower as possible.

By then, even if Jiang Fan could not completely eliminate the bandits, as long as he prevented them from coming down to harm the people and merchants, he would have completed the task of suppressing the bandits.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaolan nodded and hurriedly led 900 cavalrymen of the Zhenyuan Army towards Huaining County.

Chu Yan'er looked at the direction Chu Xiaolan was heading and a smile appeared on her face.

But I was thinking in my heart, I helped that guy so much, how can he thank me!

Thinking of this, her pretty face unconsciously turned red.

However, she quickly calmed down and led the remaining one hundred people back to the county government office in Huai'an County.

The little girl Chu Xiaoya had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her to come back. However, thinking of Jiang Fan cooking manure, Chu Yan'er suddenly lost her appetite again.

She couldn't help but feel angry. Why did this guy want to boil manure when there were so many other fun things to do?

If she saw Jiang Fan, she really wanted to grab Jiang Fan's ears and tell this guy not to do such disgusting things again.

On the other side, Chu Xiaolan was rushing to the bandit camp of Wohu Mountain. She planned to arrange half of her men to monitor the Wohu Camp and the other half to monitor the Tianlang Camp.

As long as the two camps made any moves and came down from the mountain, they would attack from behind. Even if they couldn't completely wipe out the two bandit camps, at least they would beat them so hard that they wouldn't dare to come out and harm people again.

When she was rushing to the Wohu Village, Jiang Fan had already led more than 600 people to the foot of Wohu Mountain. He led his men to sneak into the village.

The gate in front of me is a slope, only about ten meters wide in the middle, with cliffs on both sides. The gate in front of me is so strong that one man can block the passage of ten thousand men.

However, the cliffs on both sides were not high and people could climb up. Jiang Fan arranged twenty-five people each, carrying elm mortars and bamboo mines and rushed to the cliffs on both sides.

Fire cannons through the cliff into the village inside.

Jiang Fan asked them to fire at the room where the bandits lived, and it would be best to fire at crowded places so that the lethality could be maximized.

The firing on both sides was based on the sound of the cannon in the middle. As soon as they fired the cannon, both sides would start firing at the same time.

The brothers Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui followed Jiang Fan, followed by several recorders with nervous and fearful faces, who looked at Jiang Fan with some dissatisfaction.

This guy came to fire cannons to attack the village in the middle of the night. It was really speechless, but war is fought by surprise, and they could understand Jiang Fan's behavior.

About a quarter of an hour later, birds chirping were heard on both sides, and Jiang Fan knew that they were in position.

At this time, he looked at Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui beside him, adjusted the muzzle of the gun, and said with a smile: "Come, the village gate is left to you..."

When the Chu brothers heard this, their eyes lit up immediately. Playing with guns is something every man likes, and the two brothers couldn't wait to do it.

Finally it was their turn to have fun. The two brothers hurried over, lit the fuse, and looked towards the village gate in front of them with burning eyes.

They were not even afraid of the loud noise of the cannons. Of course, except for the four recorders, all the guards on Jiang Fan's side stood still and no one moved.

Several recorders instinctively covered their ears and hid back, but when they saw how strictly disciplined Jiang Fan's guards were, they couldn't help but admire them.

A feeling of shame surged in their hearts, and they put down their hands that were covering their ears. However, just as they did so, they were shocked by several banging noises, and they quickly covered their ears again.

Then, several bamboo mines were sprayed towards the village gate in front, bang... bang... as countless bamboo mines were sprayed in front of the village gate.

Less than half a breath later, the bamboo thunder exploded in front of the village gate.

The huge wooden gate was instantly blown to pieces, along with the wooden sentry tower.

The bandits who were on guard were killed and knocked unconscious by the explosion before they could figure out what was happening.

At the same time, the guards on both sides began to fire cannons continuously. Suddenly, the entire Weihu Village was engulfed in flames.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Fan shouted loudly and rushed into the village with his personal guards. Jiang Fan took the lead, and the Chu brothers stood by him to protect him.

As soon as they rushed to the gate of the village, the bandits who were slightly injured saw the guards rushing in, and they were so scared that they turned around and ran away.

Jiang Fan and his men successfully rushed into the village, and they headed deep into the village. They would kill any bandits they encountered on the road!

At this time, in the meeting room of the village, several bandits were discussing when to attack Huaining County.

Several leaders of the Weihu Village were sitting in it. Sitting in the main seat was Tiehu, the leader of the Weihu Village. On the left side sat three people, who were the retainers sent by the three princes.

"My three lords, Jiang Fan has just arrived in Huaining County. I'm afraid he is still on guard against us. Regarding the matter of attacking Huaining County, I think we should wait for two more days. Do you think it's okay?"

Tiehu, who was in the lead, looked at the three princes' followers with an apologetic smile.

The battle outside Huaining County caused the loss of more than a thousand people from their bandit camps. He was now filled with fear of Jiang Fan.

Therefore, he did not dare to agree to the three retainers' request to attack Huaining County as soon as possible.

It was really that Jiang Fan's personal guards were too powerful. Nearly five thousand people were killed outside Huaining County alone. He now only had thirteen or fourteen hundred people left, and he dared not move.
