Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

After Qin Zheng learned about the situation on the mountain, he immediately summoned troops overnight to go into the mountain to suppress the bandits.

Gu Ci yawned as he sat on the horse.

"Brother Zheng, didn't we agree to go into the mountains tomorrow? Why are you doing it so suddenly?"

It's so hasty that the soldiers probably haven't woken up from their sleep yet. Sending troops now will seriously affect the morale of the army.

Qin Zheng said in a deep voice: "The situation has changed. Let's attack the top of the mountain first."

Seeing him say this, Gu Ci did not object.

After all, with Qin Zheng's leadership ability, if he can think of it, how could Qin Zheng not think of it?

Under the leadership of Qin Zheng, the bandit-suppression troops rushed forward.

When the bandits guarding halfway up the mountain saw the enemy attack, they quickly fired flares into the sky.

But they were ultimately defeated by the imperial army's anti-bandit forces and were eventually arrested.

Without the obstruction of those bandits, the anti-bandit army was unstoppable and reached the top of the mountain in just a stick of incense.

However, when they arrived at the top of the mountain, even though they had personally experienced battlefields at the border, they were still shocked by the corpses all over the mountain.

"This……"

Gu Ci was also stunned at first, but after he came to his senses, he immediately dismounted to investigate the situation.

"Brother Zheng, what's going on?"

Who killed these people?

Judging from the traces, it was obviously left not long ago.

But to kill so many people overnight, it must be a large army!

But... this is totally impossible!

You know, from the moment they decided to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, they had been sending people to closely monitor all movements on this hill.

Such a big thing happened, how could there be no movement?!

Seeing that Gu Ci and Sui Ning were both looking at him with puzzled expressions, Qin Zheng told them everything he had found out on the mountain.

"No wonder you temporarily moved up the bandit suppression plan." Gu Ci suddenly realized.

"Let's split up and search to see if there are any clues."

After a search, they soon found the armory hidden deep in the cave.

Thinking about the people on the hill, it was not difficult for them to think that Song Yan was secretly "raising an army" here.

As for the rest.

In addition to the few people who were tied to the stakes by the mysterious woman and were still alive, they also found a living person hiding in the cave.

But the man had gone mad at this time.

No matter what they asked, the man was terrified and kept muttering, "Monster... There is a monster... Don't kill me..."

Although the people on the wooden stakes were still alive, they seemed to have lost their memory and had no memory of what happened on the hill!

Qin Zheng and his companions had no choice but to escort the man to the Dali Temple for investigation.

A sudden bandit suppression operation went surprisingly smoothly without losing a single soldier, which also made people feel very strange.

Under the drastic measures of the Dali Temple, within a short period of time, the surviving team leaders all confessed.

King Song Yan of Qi used bandits to secretly raise private soldiers!

------

On the other hand, at the Prince of Qi's Mansion, they received the news just as Qin Zheng led his troops into the mountains.

Song Yan was in the study, secretly thinking about his next plan, with a hint of annoyance between his brows.

He didn't know what was going on during this period, but he always felt that he was extremely unlucky.

From small things like falling while walking and choking while drinking water to big things like his subordinates getting into trouble frequently recently, Song Mu no longer values ​​him as much as before.

At this moment, the subordinates suddenly sent a message, "Your Majesty, our plan has failed!"

"Bang!" Song Yan smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground and shouted angrily, "What's going on?!"

If he follows his plan, it should be foolproof.

"For some reason, General Qin has brought forward the bandit suppression plan. They've already gone into the mountains! And... our people haven't replied yet..."

"How could this happen?! Aren't five thousand elite soldiers enough to deal with Qin Zheng's bandit suppression team?" The more Song Yan thought about it, the more confused he became.

According to the information they received, Qin Zheng's anti-bandit army had only a thousand people!

The five thousand elite soldiers did not send back any feedback, which only meant that they had been completely wiped out at this moment!

But...how is this possible? !

Is Qin Zheng really that terrifying? !

"Your Highness, the matter of the armory in the back mountain can no longer be hidden. What should we do now?" the subordinate asked.

Song Yan was furious, but this was not a matter of impulse.

He forced himself to calm down and think of a way out.

But things don't always go as we wish.

An imperial decree from the palace blocked all his ways of survival!

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Prince Song Yan of Qi, under the guise of bandits, formed a clique for personal gain and raised private soldiers. His crimes are heinous. He is hereby stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner. He is to be imprisoned in the palace for life and cannot leave without summons. This is my decree!"

Song Yan's heart sank to the bottom.

Looking back at the past, even if he was unwilling to accept it, he had no way to defend himself now that there was evidence from both witnesses and evidence.

At this point, the matter of the King of Qi raising private soldiers came to an end.

But Gu Ci still wondered about the identity of the mysterious woman from time to time.

"What is the origin of that mysterious woman?"

When the Dali Temple was trying the case previously, they were also confused by the actions of the mysterious woman.

But fortunately, what she did was to eliminate harm for the people, so the people in the Dali Temple did not investigate further.

However, if the matter of the mysterious woman were known to too many people, it would be detrimental to the court, so the court specifically ordered people to block the news.

"Her fighting skills are even better than yours?! How does she compare to Brother Ning?" Gu Ci asked Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng looked at Sui Ning, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

For some reason, he always felt that the mysterious woman's martial arts moves and back figure looked a bit like Sui Ning.

But as soon as this conjecture came out, it was denied by Qin Zheng.

impossible.

Although Aning's martial arts skills are strong, he still cannot fight against 5,000 elite soldiers silently by himself.

Besides, Aning is a man.

That mysterious woman is definitely not her!

Seeing Qin Zheng looking at Sui Ning with a perverted look, Gu Ci was too lazy to ask and started to guess on his own.

"In my opinion, that mysterious woman must have known that we were going to suppress the bandits, so she helped us resolve the crisis beforehand, just like the Snail Girl."

"Maybe he's here just for me, hahahaha!"

Sui Ning: ...

Liuliu: ...

Don't say it.

Although Gu Ci was a bit shameless, he still guessed most of the truth!

Sui Ning quickly interrupted his guess and poured a basin of cold water on him, "Alright, stop dreaming in broad daylight!"

"That mysterious woman is so powerful. With your fighting ability, do you think she would be interested in you?"

Gu Ci suddenly choked and looked at Sui Ning as if he had discovered a new world, "Okay, brother Ning, you have learned bad things from Brother Zheng recently, haven't you? You even learned to make fun of me?!"

The three of them were chatting and laughing, and happened to run into the prince and Ye Ling by the lake.

Sui Ning instantly lost the desire to play and walked straight towards the two people by the lake.

Qin Zheng and Gu Ci followed closely behind.

Originally, Sui Ning was still wondering when the relationship between Ye Ling and Song Jin became so close.

Unexpectedly, as she approached, she heard Ye Ling say to Song Jin, "Your Highness, I wonder if Ling'er would be honored to invite you to go boating on the lake together?"
