"General Pei, I'm sorry." Xie Chun smiled at Wanmu, "Wait until I come back to appreciate your horizontal sword."

General Pei clasped his fists and said, "I would like to wish Her Royal Highness the Princess a triumphant return in advance."

"Thank you."

Although the emperor and the queen were reluctant to part with Xie Chunchao, they could not resist Xie Chunchao's plea, and finally agreed to her.

When Xie Chunchao came out of Tai Chi Hall, he met Ning Heng head-on. He looked like he had been waiting for a long time.

"your Highness."

"What's the matter?"

Ning Heng chased after him and said, "I heard that you are going to Qinggu to suppress the bandits?"

"Yes."

"I've also heard about Qinggu. They are not ordinary bandits. They are extremely cunning, and even their weapons are extraordinary. I'm afraid you won't be able to defeat them if you only bring your army of women."

Xie Chunchao: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I'll go with you." Ning Heng quickened his pace and stopped in front of Xie Chunchao, "As long as I'm here, I will definitely protect you."

Xie Chunchao sneered, raised his eyebrows and said, "You'd better take care of the things at hand."

After Xie Chunchao finished speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage, regardless of what Ning Heng had to say.

"Princess." Yu Ning put down the car curtain and complained, "This Ning Heng is so shameless."

"I failed the princess before, and now I'm entangled with her again. I don't know where he got his face."

Xie Chunchao thought somewhat clearly. She was now a princess, and both her father and brother doted on her. As long as he could win her favor, what would he have to worry about about his future?

But she didn't understand that Ning Heng was not incompetent, so why would he do this?

"Don't worry about him." Xie Chunchao said.

When he has eaten enough nails from her, he will forget about it himself.

Xie Chunchao leaned forward and said to Yun Xie in front of the car, "Yun Xie, when we return to the princess's house later, you can help me inform the Detachment of Women to set off at noon tomorrow."

As soon as Xie Chunchao finished speaking, Yu Ning said, "Princess, you didn't take me with you last time you went to the border. Please take me with you this time."

Xie Chunchao thought of Yu Ning's unexpected performance in the palace incident, and asked with a smile, "You want to go with me? What about your little lover?"

Yu Ning blushed, "Princess, I...she and I haven't reached that point yet."

"Besides, it's not like I won't come back."

Hearing this, Xie Chunchao raised his hand and pinched Yu Ning's face, "Okay, I'll take you with me this time."

Before Xie Chunchao set off, Xie Ningyu specifically told her to leave a few alive to interrogate the forces behind him. It would be better if she could find out other gangsters or officials that the other party bribed in Chu State.

Qinggu is about a week's journey from Shanngling. It happened to rain on the day Xie Chunchao arrived in Qinggu.

Local officials stood waiting in the rain wearing raincoats. Someone in the crowd whispered, "I heard that the princess who came this time is the princess of the country. I don't know whether the princess can wipe out the bandits."

Another person said, "I heard that Princess Zhenguo once personally led troops to exterminate thousands of bandits in Jiguan Mountain. When she went to the border, she seriously injured an enemy general of Shengguo with an arrow. She is a brave and resourceful woman."

The man in the red official uniform standing at the front said in a low voice, "Okay, stop saying a few words, Her Royal Highness the Princess is almost here."

He is the largest official here and also the local county governor named Feng Dong. He also wrote the letter that reported to the central government that there was banditry here.

Generally speaking, if something goes wrong in a local area, local officials can hide it if they can. After all, such things will always leave an impression on the central government of lax governance and affect future promotions.

But it is rare for him to take the initiative to report it.

Among them, Feng Dong also thought about sending local troops to solve the problem himself without telling him, but after he organized several campaigns to suppress the bandits, instead of being disabled, the bandits became stronger.

Feng Dong also noticed something was wrong several times. No matter how weak they were, they couldn't be so useless.

He suspected that there was collusion between internal and external parties, but he did not know how big the other party's backstage was, and he was also afraid that there would be a big trouble in the future, so he simply sent a memorial to the central government.

Unexpectedly, it was the princess who came.

Hello princess.

Who can have a bigger backstage than a princess?

A long queue appeared at the end of the road, and everyone quickly stood up to greet it.

"Princess, Qinggu is here."

Yu Ning looked at the rain outside and said, "It's so annoying. Why does it start raining at this time?"

The carriage slowly stopped, and a bright and noble woman stepped out of the carriage. Following her was an elegant maid in Tsing Yi holding an umbrella for her.

Her Royal Highness the Princess was so majestic and so overwhelming that they almost didn't dare to look up.

"The official has met Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Everyone, get up." Xie Chunchao said slowly, "It's raining today, so don't stand here. Let's go inside and talk."

After everyone entered the room, the officials began to introduce their names and official positions one by one.

Of course, there were many officials coming today, but the room could not accommodate so many people, so many officials with insufficient grades were standing on the porch outside the house, waiting for summons that might appear at any time.

Xie Chunwan: "Master Feng, tell me, what happened to those bandits and where are they now?"

Feng Dong said, "The gang of bandits had only a few hundred people at the beginning, but now it has grown to two to three hundred people. Their members have gathered gangsters from all over the country who are not doing their jobs properly. It stands to reason that this gang of bandits can't accomplish anything, but they are a group of bandits." But they are extremely cunning, and we have suppressed the bandits several times and allowed them to escape."

Xie Chunchao: "Who is their boss?"

"The boss is nicknamed the Black-faced Ghost. In his early years, he was just a gangster in Linxian County. Later, he left home to make a living. Unexpectedly, he actually brought a group of people to cause trouble everywhere."

"However, the core of this group is not the boss. I heard that there is an extremely powerful woman in their team, whom they call Fairy Girl."

"That woman is their core, and I heard that the boss also obeys her words. They were able to escape from her several times only because of the ideas the woman gave them."

Xie Chunchao always felt that it sounded a bit familiar. The bandits in Jiguan Mountain also had a miraculous military officer.

It's a pity that she hasn't been able to see the military advisor until now, and she doesn't know who he is...

"This woman should be their military advisor."

"Exactly." Feng Dong nodded.

"Where did that woman come from?"

Feng Dong: "We don't know the origin of that woman yet, but she joined three months ago."

three months ago…

Xie Chunchao did the math and found that three months ago was almost the day when his father, the emperor, and his mother ascended the throne.

It seems that this woman is the key person sent by the enemy country to cause trouble, but I don’t know whether she is from Shengguo, or...

Xia Kingdom.

Feng Dong was surprised to realize that he had nothing to add, so he hurriedly said, "By the way, they seem to have noticed that we are going to deal with her, and they have quietly gone up the mountain towards the south of Qinggu."

The officials in turn reported the information they knew to Xie Chunchao, and after chatting for two hours, Feng Dong suddenly said, "Princess, it's getting late, let's eat first."

"it is good."
