Chu Yaoguang was puzzled: "Suppress the bandits?"

The green waist affirmed: "Yes, suppress the bandits."

"It's the end of the year, where did she go to suppress the bandits?" Chu Yaoguang asked.

Lu Yao said: "It's on a mountain about a hundred miles away from the capital. A small group of thieves have sprung up there. They often rob passers-by of their property. Because someone reported in the booklet, His Majesty wanted to send a school lieutenant to suppress the bandits. Who would have thought The second princess took the initiative to invite Ying, and she invited to suppress the bandits, and His Majesty agreed."

Chu Yaoguang was stunned for a moment, and asked, "On a mountain about a hundred miles away from the capital?"

Why is this geographical location somewhat familiar?

The green waist hung her head: "Yes."

Chu Yaoguang asked, "Do you know which mountain it is?"

Lu Yao thought for a moment, then pointed to the southwest.

Chu Yaoguang was strangely silent.

If she guessed correctly, this mountain should be the one she and Mingzhi passed by when they returned from Guixia County.

Back then, their money was looted by robbers, and their ledgers were almost lost there.

After I came back, I didn't mention it because I felt ashamed and the distance was far away, the loss was not too heavy, and it might not be possible to catch the robber with someone.

At that time, the bandit leader also said that he wanted to build a copycat and become bigger and stronger. At that time, he called himself the head of the family, but he didn't take it too seriously. He didn't expect that it would be done now, and even made it too big, so he became the target of the court's eradication.

Chu Yaoguang mourned silently for the head.

However, if you build a cottage not far from the capital, you will not be eradicated.

at the same time.

Chu Mingyu also led five hundred soldiers to a place five miles away from Honglian Mountain.

"The bandits in Honglian Mountain are small but good. If we go directly to the foot of Honglian Mountain, those bandits will run away after hearing the news, and we will have nowhere to look for them." Chu Mingyu explained.

The mountain originally had no name, but because the Red Lotus Village was established here,

Captain Wang beside him nodded in agreement: "The Second Highness is right, what is the Second Highness going to do next?"

Chu Mingyu had already made up his mind, so he said, "I'm going to send someone to investigate the exact location of the Red Lotus Village first. If I can find it successfully, I can touch it quietly. It's best to take it away when I'm not prepared."

Captain Wang said: "However, one of the reasons why the local magistrates have been unable to eradicate the Red Lotus Village is that the location of the village is hidden and difficult to find. If we can't find it, what is the Second Highness's plan?"

You can't use all the people to search, so even if you can find it, it will definitely scare the snake, and people should run away by then.

This is the crux of the red lotus cottage that is difficult to eradicate.

Hiding deep and running fast, unless you attack the stronghold quickly and ruthlessly, it will be difficult to catch them all in one go.

Chu Mingyu was not unhappy when he was questioned, and his expression was very gentle: "If you can't find it, I have a way to lure the bandits from Honglian Village."

Captain Wang glanced at Chu Mingyu who was very calm and calm, bowed his head, and said respectfully: "Then listen to the Second Highness."

Someone sent over to investigate, and they rested in place.

Chu Mingyu raised his hand and asked the guards to fetch a water bottle for him. Just as he ordered to go down, the soldiers suddenly became agitated.

"What's going on," she frowned, "Thrush, go and have a look."

The thrush should be, it's over.

Not long after, she came back with a look of embarrassment on her face.

"There is an extra man among the soldiers, who was caught by Captain Wang and is currently being interrogated." Huamei said.

Chu Mingyu was displeased when he heard the words: "A man? How could a man be so bold as to join the bandit suppressing team?"

Thrush looked hesitant.

Chu Mingyu was startled, and said, "I know?"

Thrush nodded: "It's Mr. Zhou."

Chu Mingyu suddenly raised her eyes. She glanced at the commotion, threw the water bottle to Huamei, and hurried over.

When she arrived, she happened to see a thin man in blue armor being detained by two soldiers. Lieutenant Wang glared at him and was questioning something.

"Sir Wang, please shut up." Chu Mingyu hurriedly stopped him.

Wang Xiaowei looked back and saw that it was Chu Mingyu, and nodded: "Second Highness."

When the thin man heard this address, he shrank back and lowered his head even lower.

"Okay, I saw you," Chu Mingyu laughed, "Where are you going to hide?"

Wang Xiaowei was slightly taken aback when he heard the words: "The Second Highness recognizes this man?"

The thin man raised his head, revealing a fair and beautiful face, and called timidly, "Brother Yu."

He has a pure appearance and a timid voice. Among the many soldiers, he really stands out, attracting many people to look over.

Lieutenant Wang was born in a lowly background and had been struggling in the military camp. He didn't even recognize this famous noble son in the capital. No wonder his attitude was so rude.

Chu Mingyu smiled: "This is the younger brother of my childhood sweetheart, the young master of the Shangshu Mansion. I think I followed here on a whim and disturbed the adults. I am really sorry."

Zhou Qiyue followed suit and nodded: "I've never seen the bandits before, so I wanted to take a sneak peek. Sister Ruoyu and this lord don't agree, so I'll go back to Beijing immediately."

Lieutenant Wang stretched his brows slightly, and was about to say something, but Chu Mingyu preempted him: "Everyone is here, just stay here and watch. If you go back to Beijing, you have to send two soldiers to escort you, which is troublesome." , Do you think so, Lord Wang?"

Captain Wang originally wanted Zhou Qiyue to return immediately, but he hesitated after hearing Chu Mingyu's words: "It's really inappropriate for a man to be here, and it's very close to Honglian Mountain, so it's somewhat unsafe .”

Chu Mingyu said: "I will make people look after him, Mr. Wang don't have to worry."

The implication is that he wants Zhou Qiyue to stay.

Xiaowei Wang had no choice but to swallow his hesitation, bowed his head and said: "Listen to the Second Highness."

Zhou Qiyue tugged on Chu Mingyu's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "It's okay to go back to the capital, it's my mistake."

"You don't want to watch the bandits anymore?" Chu Mingyu chuckled lightly.

Zhou Qiyue hesitated for a moment, and replied obediently: "...I think so."

"That's fine," Chu Mingyu rubbed Zhou Qiyue's head, "You can't delay anything, just follow me."

Zhou Qiyue nodded vigorously: "Okay."

After coaxing Zhou Qiyue, as soon as Chu Mingyu raised his head, he saw Xiaowei Wang staring at himself and Zhou Qiyue in a daze, his expression paused, but he still said as if nothing had happened: "Master Wang, then I will take him away. "

Captain Wang said: "Yes."

Chu Mingyu led Zhou Qiyue back to where he was, and took off the hood on her head, and gave him a water bottle: "Are you tired, drink some water."

"Not tired," Zhou Qiyue shook her head, her eyes followed Chu Mingyu's figure, her smile was bright, "I'm not tired at all."

Looking at the innocent and well-behaved Zhou Qiyue, Chu Mingyu relaxed a lot, and rubbed his head again.

Not long after, the probing soldiers came back.

Unexpectedly, the specific location of Honglian Village was not found, and even the bandits in Honglian Village almost noticed it.

Wang Xiaowei said: "Since we can't detect it, then the Second Highness will tell you how to do it."
