After guarding the border for his father for three years, the daughter-in-law returns home and becom

"Kill~"

More than a hundred riders charged first, holding torches and rushing into the camp. The torches in their hands continued to set fire to the surrounding tents.

In an instant, the camp was engulfed in flames.

But the more than one hundred charging riders immediately reined in their horses. They looked around, their faces filled with astonishment.

"Go, go and tell the gentleman that this is an empty camp!"

The human-shaped objects around were all made of clothes.

The entire camp was empty, without a single person.

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!" a cavalryman shouted loudly.

The bandits following closely behind also became panicked in an instant.

But it's too late!

They saw countless torches raised on three sides of the camp, and then the bandits heard the sound of horse hooves shaking the earth.

In the darkness, illuminated by torches, they could clearly see cavalrymen on three sides, holding spears and wearing armor.

They whipped their war horses like a long, hot knife cutting lard.

The battlefield was easily divided into several pieces.

These bandits had never seen such a scene before. They had never been to the battlefield. In the past, they had at most robbed merchants and civilians along the way with knives.

When the cavalry rushed over, they were already scared out of their wits. Even if they mustered up their courage, they found that their swords and spears could not cut through the knights' armor, so they dared not fight to the death.

"Run! These people are impossible to kill!"

"Help! They are all devils!"

These bandits screamed for their lives; they could never have imagined that a charge of three hundred cavalrymen would be so terrifying.

Especially the one in the lead, who was tall and majestic, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, with a spear in his hand. These bandits would die if they touched him!

More than two thousand bandits were like chickens and dogs in front of him.

"Stop running around, follow me, there are only three hundred of them!" A bandit leader roared and organized his men.

At this moment, the cavalry that had just rushed forward immediately turned around.

The silver-armored general came straight over to kill him.

The people who had just been organized scattered in an instant, and the bandit leader was directly picked up by a spear and fell heavily to the ground, without any sound.

The battle ended faster than expected.

When they cleaned up the battlefield at dawn, they found that, except for those who fled, they had killed nearly a thousand people.

Suo Si's eyes kept looking at the silver-armored general, and finally he couldn't help but ask about Chu Yang.

"Your Highness, were all your guards so fierce before?"

Chu Yang smiled but did not reply. Zhao Yun only found Chu Yang's camp near dusk yesterday.

He had been guarding the official road after the forest, but later he was worried that Chu Yang might be in danger in the forest, so he ran over here.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Chu Yang and others setting up camp.

"Your Highness, I just took a look and found that most of these people are bandits from nearby mountains. Among them, there are about a hundred people who are from other places judging by their attire."

Zhao Yun came over and reported to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang nodded: "No need to think, it must be my brothers. We will have to settle this account in the future. This time, it's all thanks to Zilong."

Zhao Yun still said respectfully: "I dare not say it is hard work, protecting His Highness is my duty."

Chu Yang smiled happily and patted Zhao Yun's shoulder encouragingly.

He saw clearly how brave Zhao Yun was last night.

I can only say that Zhao Zilong is worthy of being a brave man.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Chu Yang's troops quickly passed through the mountains and forests, and there were no more twists and turns on the journey afterwards.

Until three months later.

Chu Yang and others finally entered Qiongzhou.

The land of Qiongzhou is very large, comparable to the two states in the Central Plains.

But in such a vast area, there are only five cities belonging to the Great Zhou.

It can even be said that there is not a single one that truly belongs to the Great Zhou.

Because the Great Zhou had not sent officials to Qiongzhou for a long time, other officials would rather resign when they heard that they were coming to Qiongzhou.

After all, this is a famous place of exile.

Those who live here are either barbarians or guilty officials.

The only place that still reluctantly obeyed the orders of the King of the Great Zhou was the capital city of Qiongzhou.

But the highest official here is just a chief clerk.

As for the other four counties, each is controlled by other forces, either barbarians, savages, or criminals.

This situation is really absurd.

At this time, in the governor's mansion of Qiongzhou.

The highest official, Chief Clerk Yan Xingrong, was gathering his confidants to discuss the matter.

"Everyone, the Seventh Prince will be arriving in Qiongzhou Prefecture soon. How should we respond?"

Yan Xingrong frowned, feeling quite annoyed. He was doing well as a local emperor, but out of nowhere a so-called King of Qiong came to suppress him, which made him very unhappy.

"Sir, this isn't that easy. Just do it like we did before and kill him!"

Someone suggested that Qiongzhou Prefecture had sent a prefect before, but he died of malaria not long after.

As for the new seventh prince, that’s easy, just kill him.

"No!" Yan Xingrong rejected it directly: "He is a prince, and the nominal king of Qiongzhou. The court doesn't care about our past affairs, but if we kill the prince, what if the Great Zhou Dynasty launches an expedition?"

Another confidant said with a smile: "I think you are worrying too much. How can a prince sent here by the Great Zhou be favored? Maybe if we kill him, the Great Zhou will be too happy!"

Many people here, although nominally citizens of the Great Zhou, have long since stopped considering themselves as such.

Yan Xingrong still shook his head: "This is not a question of being favored or not, it's mainly a question of face."

After being opposed one after another, these confidants didn't know what to do: "Then, sir, do you mean to obey him?"

Yan Xingrong lowered his head and began to think.

How could he be willing to obey? Having a prince above him would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

But if they kill him as soon as they arrive, it will definitely cause the Great Zhou to send troops to attack.

His entire city had only more than a thousand garrisons, which was no match for the Great Zhou.

"Let's meet him first! If this prince is honest and willing to eat and wait for death, we don't mind worshipping him as a Buddha. But if he really thinks of himself as a prince and wants to shit and piss on our heads."

"Then we can only let him die of the miasma disease."

A few days later, at the gate of Qiongzhou City.

Chu Yang arrived with three hundred cavalrymen!

“Is this Qiongzhou?” Chu Yang looked at the city wall and felt disgusted. How could this thing even be called a city wall?

I feel like I could jump over it on a horse.

The city wall was made of earth and stones, but it was only about ten feet high and was in tatters everywhere.

"Your humble servant, the Chief Clerk of Qiongzhou Prefecture, greets the King of Qiong!"

Yan Xingrong and his men had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. When they saw Chu Yang coming, they immediately ran over to salute.

"Are you Yan Xingrong?" Chu Yang sat high on his horse, looking down at the people kneeling on the ground.

"That's right!" Yan Xingrong looked up with a flattering smile on his face.

Chu Yang chuckled and glanced around without commenting. All of these people had expressions of indignation on their faces.

They were obviously somewhat dissatisfied with Chu Yang for not letting them stand up.
