Chapter 28: Retreating from the battlefield will lead to immediate execution
Chu Er felt that it was not that simple, because...the young master in their family never used sachets.
Because of her status, the young master is already walking on thin ice. Wearing a sachet makes the young master feel... too feminine, so she has always been averse to sachets.
It is impossible that he wanted the sachet so badly that he specially asked the personal guards of His Royal Highness Prince Yan to return to find him.
"What did you do before the young master said this to you? What happened?" Chu Er suspected that the young master was conveying a message, but he couldn't guess the answer from one sentence.
The guard didn't understand why Chu Er suddenly asked this question with a serious expression, but he still described the situation at that time, especially the fact that Chu Xi suspected that someone was ambushing and shooting darts.
Chu Er's face changed slightly. He probably knew why the young master asked the guards to turn back!
He almost subconsciously asked his guard, "Is there any danger on that road?"
The personal guard shook his head. He had come to Yunzhou with the prince and didn't know much about the situation in Yunzhou.
Chu Er could tell from the confused and puzzled look of his personal guards that they obviously didn't understand either. He turned around and went to look for the local villagers. They had lived here for generations and must know the situation better than them.
"You mean this road? Yes, there is a Qingshan Peak in the past two years. The village of Qingshan Peak is full of bandits. They are very fierce. Normally, the villagers don't dare to take that road!"
The guard was stunned, probably guessing that Prince Chu's request to turn back and get the sachet was just an excuse, and the real purpose was to call for help.
Chu Er's eyelids jumped. He picked up the sword that was placed aside, held the sword tightly and continued to ask, "Do you know how many people there are in the village?"
He almost turned around without thinking, got on his horse and left.
Fortunately, before leaving, I suddenly thought of this fatal question.
"I think there are about a hundred of them?" the villager answered uncertainly. "We usually don't dare to provoke them, so we can't tell the exact number."
Chu Er pursed his lips, his eyes solemn, "According to the order of the prince, gather two hundred soldiers, put down your work, take up your swords and follow us to Qingshan Peak!"
The guards would naturally not refute Chu Er's words. Now the Crown Prince's life or death was uncertain. If His Highness were here, he would definitely give the same order.
As soon as the Yunzhou City Guards heard that they were going to attack Qingshan Peak, they dispersed and looked like they had no energy. Seeing them like this, Chu Er wanted to whip them a few times.
When they bully the people, they are extremely brave, but when it is time to take action, they become timid and lose their enthusiasm. How can he not be angry when seeing this?
"To attack Qingshan Peak, the number of people we have is... not enough, right?" Some soldiers wanted to retreat before the start and took the lead in starting the riot.
Chu Er walked over calmly and slashed with his knife. Blood splattered on his face, making him look even colder and more ruthless.
"If anyone again shakes the morale of the army and misleads the people, he will be executed. Anyone who disobeys orders will be executed. Anyone who retreats in battle will be executed immediately without mercy!"
He used ruthless and decisive means to shock the situation, and at least no one dared to object at the moment.
These people are afraid of death and love life for their own sake. Although there are some loyal people who serve their country, unfortunately, they are too few in number. In such a bad environment, they have no chance to succeed.
Just go with the flow.
The guards calmly watched Chu Er kill the soldier who wanted to retreat first. Although they were a little surprised, they were not too surprised.
Prince Chu is extremely intelligent, has outstanding abilities, and is a master in martial arts. He is one of Your Highness's confidants. Now it seems that the people around him have learned a little from him.
"Let's go!" Chu Er did not mention the possibility that the young master might be kidnapped. After all, in his mind, with the young master's ability, escape would not be a problem, and a group of bandits were no match for the young master.
They have been under the control of the young master these days. If something really happens to the young master, these people will not only not attack Qingshan Peak, but will also be like a group of loose sand and flee as far as they can!
Defend the country?
Sorry, Chuuji really hasn't seen this quality in them.

At the same time, the two hundred people led by Tang Yuhuai traveled all night, but they still didn't catch up with the person until three quarters of the morning. The medicinal materials in four carts... were burned, and when they arrived, they could not be saved.
There were only eight truckloads of medicinal materials in total, and half of them were lost. He felt very sad about the burned materials, but at the same time he was helpless.
Rushing back along the same route...to the abandoned house, Tang Yuhuai saw messy footsteps and bloodstains before he arrived...
I have a very bad feeling in my heart.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the mansion, dozens of people were dead inside, including two imperial doctors who were accompanying him.
This was a huge blow to the young general Tang Yuhuai, who was used to being high-spirited.
He was really hit hard, but he reacted quickly and did not dwell on the emotion of being hit.
They split into two groups, and he personally led one group to follow the traces of the carriage to track down the whereabouts of Rong Jinfeng and his group.
The other group went to find His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, told him everything they had experienced, and asked for help.
If Tang Yuhuai hadn't thought that the house was only ten miles away from Yunzhou City, he wouldn't have led people to chase after him directly, and such a thing would not have happened.
With a feeling of self-blame and guilt, he traced the case all the way and actually found Qingshan Peak, the "cancer" entrenched outside Yunzhou City!
The terrain of Qingshan Peak has a natural advantage. Tang Yuhuai and his men hid there for a long time, but they were unable to find a way up the mountain without alerting the people in the mountain village.
At this time, Chu Xi had been tied up on the mountain for half an hour.
Tang Yuhuai needed to survey the terrain himself, draw a map, and finally use the cover of night to attack the Qingshan Peak stronghold.
Attacking during the day is obviously not a good time.
In addition, he was waiting for reinforcements from King Yan. With only more than a hundred people under his command, he was worried that he would not be able to successfully rescue everyone, as well as... the medicinal herbs.
Now only half of it was left, and he was worried that the bandits in Qingshan Peak would do the same thing and burn the herbs in anger.
"Sir, are we going to wait here forever? What if His Royal Highness Prince Yan's reinforcements never arrive?"
"Then we'll wait until dark before we take action." Tang Yuhuai led his men to hide in the deep mountains opposite Qingshan Peak. They did not dare to make any big moves and all lay motionless in the bushes.
"Yes."

Chu Xi, who was inside the village, knocked on the door deliberately and very loudly.
"What are you doing?" The bandit guarding the gate outside spoke in a rough voice and tried to scare her.
Chu Xi pinched his throat and coughed twice, "You don't even have a sip of water in here, do you want to kill me with thirst? If I die of thirst, you won't get any money!"
In fact, she was trying to scare these people on purpose.
Not everyone is like the third in command and the first in command, who are smart and cautious.
Naturally, these younger brothers didn't dare to let Chu Xi die of thirst.
"Damn it, so much trouble." The bandit outside cursed.
His tone was very impatient, but he still went to get the kettle and filled it with water.
