Chapter 229: The Army Victories
Song Nanyao stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Li Heming: "Your Highness, I came here knowing that..."
"I'm getting ready to go back to the capital and help you solve the difficulties you're facing now." Song Nanyao stood there straight, like a pine tree.
……
After the discussion, the two had dinner together.
With the addition of Song Nanyao, the location of the cave entrance has been figured out. Now all they have to do is pretend to be a human and go in to find out the situation inside.
A month passed by, and Li Heming had already discovered that there were more than 30,000 bandits in the mountains, who were also members of the Northwest Army.
Those people are the leaders of various mountain bandits who want to rebel and form gangs. They have no practical experience, and the bandits do not have very high martial arts skills. They only started learning martial arts recently and drink and chat every day.
Li Heming calculated the timing precisely. It was their leader's birthday, and he prepared a sneak attack in the dark, because this was the day when people's vigilance was the lowest.
Everything was ready, when suddenly a man in black flew in from the dark night. He was masked, had a high ponytail, and had sharp eyes.
Li Heming was about to take action when he saw a pair of very attractive eyes.
"Are you Hua Hanxi?" Li Heming asked in surprise.
"Don't take any action tonight, it's a trap." Hua Hanxi glanced at Li Heming and Song Nanyao beside him.
"Why do you say that?" Li Heming was puzzled.
"The bandit leader in the mountains used to be a subordinate of King Ping." Hua Hanxi told a false news, intending to test the waters.
"Do you think we will believe you? Who are you?" Song Nanyao glanced coldly at Hua Hanxi's clothes and said in a faint tone.
"I am sorry to both of you. I am the most beautiful lady in Chenxiang Tower and the master of Wanhua Valley, a martial arts sect. I can help you deal with the poisonous gas. This place used to be the residence of Wanhua Valley, but they moved away later... I didn't expect it to become the home of these bandits..."
Hua Hanxi's eyes moved, full of hatred.
"Do you hate the bandit leader?" Song Nanyao could see the viciousness in Hua Hanxi's eyes, a look that showed he wanted to kill someone.
"Yes, Your Highness, Qi Yuan killed my parents. They wanted to go to the capital to find me, but they were robbed of their money and killed on the way. Since then, they have been recruiting guests in the capital, hoping to ask the dignitaries who can manage the affairs to help get rid of those bandits...
I asked the disciples of Wanhua Valley to spread the news. I knew that only when the number of bandits reached a certain level could they attract the emperor's attention. In order to seek revenge, I fanned the flames, leading to the current situation..."
Hua Hanxi lowered her head, not knowing how to face His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Li Heming.
She did this wrong thing in order to get revenge.
"I'm so sorry..." Hua Hanxi raised her head and looked at the two of them apologetically.
For a moment, Li Heming didn't know whether to feel sympathy or resentment, nor did he know how to comfort her.
"It's not a bad thing to help your parents get revenge. It's not too late to tell us now." Song Nanyao did not blame anyone.
In fact, he had already thought clearly about the bandits, but there were too many of them and they were distributed in different places. Now that they were gathered together, he could just deal with them all at once.
"Are all the bandits from Nanxiang Kingdom here now?" Song Nanyao asked.
"Your Highness, they are indeed all here, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people." Hua Hanxi reported truthfully.
"Okay, let's go back and discuss it." Song Nanyao made a gesture, and the army slowly retreated.
After the three returned to the tent, they began to discuss how to attack.
Thanks to Hua Hanxi's help, they quickly had a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
After discussion, they decided to use a surprise attack again, but this time they would not go through the cave, but through the forests and mountains and go directly to the bandits' residence.
These days, Hua Hanxi has been working hard to prepare an antidote for the poison gas, and let 20,000 troops drink the antidote and enter.
The antidote is effective for two days, and Hua Hanxi is not only good at making poisons, but also proficient in detoxification. It can be said that he is omnipotent.
In addition, her martial arts skills are also very strong.
When the army suddenly attacked, the bandits were completely caught off guard.
Hua Hanxi rushed straight to Qi Yuan's residence.
She held a long sword against Qi Yuan's neck, scaring him so much that he dared not move and cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead.
"Sir, please show mercy! What do you want? I will give you everything... please let me go!" Qi Yuan was horrified and stepped back repeatedly.
He has no martial arts skills, he is just a pleasure-seeking and idle leader.
At this moment, Hua Hanxi was wearing night clothes, and Qi Yuan had no idea who had broken into the mountains.
"You robbed money, killed civilians, and even robbed women! You did all kinds of bad things! You will be punished for it!" Hua Hanxi said one thing at a time in a sonorous and powerful voice.
Tears were welling up in my eyes, but I tried hard to hold them back.
"Have mercy! I...I will never dare to do it again!" Qi Yuan kowtowed to Hua Hanxi.
"Do you think you can escape? Let me tell you, you have no chance at all! Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Dingyuan have led a large army and have surrounded your place. And I am very familiar with this place.
Because this was once the territory of Wanhua Valley! You killed my parents, and I will make you pay for this blood debt bit by bit!" Hua Hanxi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his voice was cold.
After saying that, she raised the knife in her hand without hesitation and chopped at Qi Yuan's fingers fiercely.
Only a scream was heard, and one of Qi Yuan's fingers fell to the ground.
He groaned in pain, covered the bleeding wound tightly with his other hand, and his face turned extremely pale.
It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized that someone had come to seek revenge on him, and that this person was from Wanhua Valley.
He felt extremely regretful. If he had known there would be such consequences, he would never have done such a cruel thing.
However, it is too late now and there is no use in regretting.
In just one night, except for the bandits who surrendered, the rest were either dead or injured.
Qi Yuan and several other heads of the family were all tied up and taken back to the capital. What awaited them was cruel punishment and long prison life.
When Song Nanyao and Li Heming saw Qi Yuan, they were shocked.
The clothes he was wearing were soaked with blood, there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on his body, not to mention his face, which was completely bloodless.
"Your Highness, General Dingyuan, I just fed him some poison. From now on, whenever he closes his eyes to rest, he will have nightmares. These will accompany him for the rest of his life..."
Hua Hanxi said it lightly.
Li Heming and Song Nanyao looked at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and said nothing.
The army won a complete victory! There were no casualties in the army, only wounded soldiers.
After the meal is ready, prepare to return to Beijing.
Inside the palace, after seeing the envelope, the emperor also understood the situation. Li Heming and Song Nanyao had already dealt with the Northwest Army established by the bandits.
They called it the Northwest Army, but it turned out to be a den of bandits.
Otherwise, why would they hide in the mountains and dare not come out to face the enemy head-on?
