The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

After Wang Meng left, Zhao Yuan gently touched his forehead with a solemn expression.

Qin Ze picked him up from Beiliang Pass himself. He clearly brought only 800 personal soldiers with him. There was no way he could be lying.

However, Wang Meng's words don't seem to be false. Could it be that Qin Ze used some trick to eliminate these two bandits?

Or maybe he summoned the people of Shifeng City and forcibly acted as soldiers to suppress the bandits?

But no matter what, as Wang Meng said, if Qin Ze really captured these two bandits, it would be troublesome if he were allowed to capture Black Tiger Village and find out his relationship with Wang Meng.

In fact, Wang Meng's words just now contained a vague threat.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan snorted coldly, his face became darker and darker, he summoned several men and ordered:

"Hurry to Qingfeng Village and find out if King Zhenbei is there. If he is in Qingfeng Village, ask him how many troops he has!"

"After you find out, report it as soon as possible without any delay!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

........

In Qingfeng Village, after a fight, the battlefield has been cleared.

After a day of trekking and fighting from dusk to late at night, everyone was exhausted. Qin Ze ordered the soldiers to rest early and recharge their batteries.

Of course, the soldiers responsible for guarding had set up sentries outside Qingfeng Village and at the foot of Banyue Mountain. This was arranged early in the morning.

In the early morning, the sentry at the foot of Banyue Mountain was hiding behind the dense forest. He immediately became alert when he heard the sound of horse hooves. When he looked closely, he saw a group of soldiers in military uniforms.

The ones who came were none other than several cavalrymen sent by Zhao Yuan to investigate. After they came out of Beiyuan City, they galloped all the way and rushed here without stopping.

At this moment, a few people were about to go up the mountain, but suddenly heard a noise in the forest, and their expressions tightened.

The next moment, several bows and arrows were shot from the forest, but they were aimed at horses!

But even so, several people were horrified. They jumped off their horses in a hurry. As soon as they landed on the ground, several people instantly poured out of the forest!

It turned out that the bow and arrow were just a feint attack. Before the cavalry could react, the sword was already placed on their necks.

"Don't do it, don't do it! We are the commander's men! We are not bandits!" Ma Tong, the leader of the cavalry, quickly begged for mercy.

"Hmph, shut up! Tie them all up!"

"Tie us up? Didn't you tell me, we are..."

"Clap clap clap!"

Before they finished speaking, a few slaps fell, and the words of Ma Tong and others were slapped back into their stomachs.

"If you come here in the middle of the night, what good can you do? Send him up the mountain!"

Soon, the sentries tied several people to their horses, gagged their mouths, blindfolded their eyes, and took them to Qingfeng Village.

Qin Ze had already rested. When he heard his men reporting that they had captured a group of Zhao Yuan's men at the foot of the mountain, he frowned and got off the bed.

In the lobby, Ma Tong and others were tied and lying firmly on the ground.

Qin Ze came to the lobby, looked at them with stern eyes, and held his chin in thought.

Then, he ordered his soldiers to take off the black cloth on Ma Tong's face and take out the gag.

As soon as Ma Tong opened his eyes, he saw Qin Ze standing in front of him with a stern face. His expression tightened and he quickly said:

"General, the wrong person has been kidnapped. We are the subordinates of the commander-in-chief. My name is Ma Tong, and I am not a bandit."

Qin Ze touched his chin, smiled lightly and said:

"Really? Zhao Yuan ordered you to come here in the middle of the night. What's the important thing? Help me kill the bandits?"

Ma Tong grimaced and said immediately:

"The Commander-in-Chief heard that you destroyed Langtou Village and Qingfeng Village. He specially ordered me to come and check it out... to ask if there is any place where you need assistance."

As soon as he said this, Qin Ze smiled secretly in his heart.

How did Zhao Yuan know about the annihilation of Qingfeng Village?

Could it be that he, who was in Beiyuan City, could still see the beacon fire here?

It goes without saying that someone must have tipped him off.

As for the informer, you don’t need to guess to know that he is a bandit! What Zhao Dayou said before was enough to show that Zhao Yuan conspired with the bandits and intended to murder him.

He didn't dare to take action himself, so he attacked under the guise of bandits.

Sentries were set up along the road here in Banyue Mountain, and all the bandits in Qingfeng Village were wiped out. The person who sent the message to Zhao Yuan must be from the Black Tiger Village.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of a plan to "drive the tiger and swallow the wolf".

Doesn’t Zhao Yuan like to do little things behind his back? Why can’t he take advantage of this?

Thinking of this, he squatted down and looked at the horse passage without blinking:

"The night I came to Shifeng City, the bandits from Langtou Village attacked me."

"After being annihilated by me, I learned from the bandit leader Zhu Fu that Wang Meng from Black Tiger Village asked him to come. Today when I annihilated Qingfeng Village, some bandits said that Zhao Yuan and Wang Meng have a close relationship. I came to Shifeng The news about the city came from Zhao Yuan to Wang Meng."

As soon as he said this, Ma Tong trembled, with a look of panic on his face, and said quickly:

"Impossible! The general knows everything and cannot listen to the words of these bandits! These bandits are all vicious and treacherous people, and they don't tell the truth. How could the Commander-in-Chief help the bandits to attack you!"

"You are the King of Zhenbei who was conferred by the imperial court. Even if we were given ten courages, we would not dare to do such a heinous act!"

Qin Ze stood up with a noncommittal expression on his face, then smiled lightly and said:

"Really? What you said makes sense."

Ma Tong saw Qin Ze's face softening and nodded hurriedly: "Yes! General, please do not take the words of these bandits seriously, they..."

Just halfway through speaking, Qin Ze saw a sullen face and shouted angrily:

"Shut up!"

"The rampant bandits in Jubeichuan are really outrageous. There is only one Shifeng City with hundreds of thousands of people in Jubeichuan, but there are three families of bandits causing trouble!"

"What has Zhao Yuan been doing these past few years! Did he not see these bandits or did he ignore them on purpose? I think what this bandit said is not necessarily true!"

As soon as he said this, Ma Tong's face turned pale. Seeing Qin Ze's expression, he felt that he would drag him out and chop him down in the next second.

In fear, Ma Tong trembled and wanted to beg for mercy but did not dare to speak.

The several tightly tied soldiers beside him were trembling with fear in their hearts.

Just when Ma Tong thought he was going to die today, he heard Qin Ze say coldly:

"Ma Tong, in two days, I will go to wipe out the bandits in Black Tiger Village."

"If Zhao Yuan dares to say that he has nothing to do with the bandits, then let him send troops to capture Black Tiger Village with me!"

When Ma Tong heard that there was a turn of events, he nodded hurriedly:

"Yes, yes! General, I will report it to the Commander-in-Chief when I get back!"

"The Commander-in-Chief has absolutely nothing to do with the Black Tiger Village bandits!"

Qin Ze's expression was cold, he raised his hand and said:

"Take them down the mountain!"

Immediately, several soldiers covered Ma Tong's face with black cloth and led them down the mountain.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the soldiers untied the ropes and shouted loudly:

"Go back to Beiyuan City!"

Ma Tong and others looked at the empty road with depressed expressions.

"Brothers, do you have any horses?"

"Who the hell are you and your brother? You don't have a horse! You can't run on your feet! If you don't leave, don't blame me for giving you a knife!"

Upon hearing this, several people were shocked and angry. They did not dare to talk back anymore and ran away quickly...
