After the stirrup was successfully tried, Chu Heyi presented the horse hoof, and the emperor also asked Yin Shao to try it.

There is no doubt that it was finally approved by the emperor.

In order to catch the Northern Zhou soldiers off guard, Chu Heyi proposed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I beg you to make these two things in Changqing City to prevent the news from leaking out. This will also save the money and manpower spent on long-distance transportation."

After all, Changqing City also has iron mines.

Of course, Chu Heyi did this for another purpose - to guard against Chu Runxue!

Chu Runxue obviously didn't regard her as an opponent yet and had almost no defense against her. The more so, the more it helped her to do things.

"That makes sense. Let's do this. If the soldiers have stirrups and horseshoes, they can strike hard at the Northern Zhou soldiers and use them on other battlefields."

Chu Heyi added: "Your Majesty, please let my Chu family handle this matter in secret."

The emperor was extremely satisfied with Chu Heyi at this moment, so he agreed.

After returning home, Chu Heyi immediately called Ding Sheng over and said, "It's done. Go find my elder brother and Shu Xiao immediately and tell them that they can go to Changqing City to make stirrups and horseshoes."

Ding Sheng is Chu Nian's personal bodyguard and grew up with Chu Nian on the battlefield. This time he stayed behind deliberately to wait for the news of Chu Heyi entering the palace before going to find Chu Nian and Shu Xiao and others.

Before Chu Yi and Shu Xiao set out, the route had already been determined. Their goal was to go to Changqing City quietly, but by taking a long detour so as not to let others know.

Ding Sheng just needs to chase them along the predetermined route.

Ding Sheng had already prepared his luggage and immediately clasped his fists: "I will leave now. Miss, please take good care of yourself at home."

"Brother Ding, the journey ahead is dangerous, please be careful!"

Ding Sheng clasped his fists again, then turned around and left with a pair of stirrups and horseshoes.

Baihua came in from outside: "Miss, Miss Runxue really went to inquire about your purpose of entering the palace."

"So what did she find out?"

"I heard that you wanted to use the land that His Royal Highness King Cheng paid as compensation to build a mansion, and you personally went to ask the emperor for his opinion."

Chu Heyi smiled lightly. What Chu Runxue had inquired about was correct. After talking about the stirrup, she did tell the emperor about building a mansion in Xining Mountain.

"Now that everyone knows, let's get ready. I'm going to build a mansion there."

Baihua, Aunt Rui and the others had no idea what Chu Heyi was trying to do.

Everyone had already told her about the situation of the land in Xining. There were wild beasts roaming around, and there was a nest of bandits on the hill next to it, so it was not suitable for building a mansion.

Madam Rui said, "If the young lady goes there to build a mansion, I'm afraid it will attract robbers to rob her. It would be ok if she only loses money, but it would be a loss if she loses her life."

Chu Heyi said, "Building a mansion is very hard work. We need to smash stones and cut trees. I am worried about where to find people. If bandits come, wouldn't it be a good opportunity?"

Aunt Rui and Baihua were very worried.

But he couldn't persuade Chu Heyi.

Moreover, before the Chu father and son went out, they reminded them that they must listen to Chu Heyi at home and do whatever she told them to do.

Especially the Fourth Young Master specifically said: "Trust my sister, she will not be wrong!"

Soon, news spread that Chu Heyi was going to build his own mansion on the hill in Xining.

Many people came to advise her, saying that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and not to do such a dangerous thing.

Chu Heyi thanked them for their kindness, but did not listen to their advice.

Hundreds of workers were recruited and they started cutting down trees, smashing rocks and digging the ground.

The bandits were very excited when they got the news. It was a big piece of fat meat, and it was a big piece of fat meat that was delivered to their mouths. It would be a waste not to eat it.

After finding an auspicious day, the first, second and third bosses, along with all the brothers on the mountain, started heading towards Xining Mountain.

As a result, when they reached the foot of Xining Mountain, rocks began to fall from the mountain, injuring or killing their brothers, and the scene was in chaos.

Just when the three bosses were extremely furious, the officers and soldiers suddenly came to attack them, and many of their brothers were killed. They had no choice but to turn around and run for their lives.

When they returned to their hill, they discovered something even more tragic: a huge fire was on their hill, thick smoke was billowing, screams of people fleeing were heard everywhere, and countless soldiers had occupied their hill.

The three bosses suddenly realized that their lair had been raided as soon as they left the house!

There is no way forward, and you can't retreat either. How can this be described in one word?

The eldest boss wiped his face and said, "Today is an auspicious day for Miss Chu!"

The second and third bosses felt the same way and felt sympathetic.

"Those who surrender, I will spare your lives!" Chu Heyi stood on the boulder, wearing a bright red dress, eye-catching.

Beside her, there were two guards holding shields to protect her.

The bandits have been completely surrounded by officers and soldiers, and they have suffered heavy casualties today. Many of them have already realized that they will not be able to escape today.

Then some people began to surrender!

"If you don't surrender after one stick of incense, you will be killed without mercy!" Liu Tuo, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, stood up from behind Chu Heyi and shouted loudly.

When the boss saw him, he immediately started to curse: "You dog official, for many years we have always given you the things we have robbed, but today you, the son of a bitch, actually brought soldiers to arrest us!"

Liu Tuo was so angry that he jumped up and down and wanted to cover their mouths, but the distance was too far and he was not strong enough to cover their mouths!

Moreover, even if the boss didn't say it, the emperor had already known about his collusion with the bandits, otherwise he would not have brought so many soldiers to suppress the bandits.

I still remember that Chu Heyi came to him a few days ago and said, "Lord Liu, you have mansions and beautiful concubines all over Daqi, and your children are all over the country. Does the emperor know?

"As far as I know, Lord Liu is a fourth-rank official, and his annual salary plus various allowances is only two hundred taels of silver. But you are so rich, it's really unbelievable."

At that time, Liu Tuo was terrified and even thought of killing Chu Heyi.

"Don't be afraid, Lord Liu. I have already informed the emperor of this matter. The emperor will give you a chance to make amends."

Liu Tuo was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

His chance to make amends was to obey Chu Heyi's orders and lead soldiers to suppress bandits when necessary.

Today he came here to atone for his sins.

"I was confused for a moment and was deceived by you guys, so I made a big mistake. Now I know my mistake and I will definitely take you down!"

Seeing that Liu Tuo admitted his evil deeds, several leaders knew that he would be in trouble today.

The brothers under his command looked at them one by one, and walked to the other side to surrender one by one, and finally only the three leaders were left.

"Didn't we go up the mountain to become bandits in the past just to have something to eat and to survive? If I die today, wouldn't that mean I have lost my original intention? So I surrender!" The second in command surrendered first.

The third in command and the first in command looked at each other.

The Third Master said, "Brother, I think what Second Brother said is right!"

After the third in command surrendered, only the eldest in command was left.

He stood in the crowd. Everyone around him was squatting with their heads in their hands. He was the only one standing. Suddenly, he felt a sense of sadness as if “the river is flowing west and the autumn wind is bleak.”

"I surrender!" The boss knelt on the ground and surrendered more sincerely than anyone else because he was crying.

No one knew that he was just frightened to the point of falling to his knees, tears streaming down his face, because he thought that he was slower to surrender than everyone else, and his fate would be more miserable than others.
