Chapter Thirty-Four: Fine Riding
"Hurry up!" Qin Wan urged the girls.
They went to the woodshed to look for the men from the exile team. Before they had gone far, they saw a group of people headed by Xiao Hao running over in a hurry.
Seeing their families, everyone hugged each other and cried.
"Princess, what is going on? What was that sound just now?" Xiao Jun looked at the fire in the sky and asked curiously.
Qin Wan said lightly: "I don't know how you escaped?"
She changed the subject easily.
"There was a loud noise just now, and suddenly a big stone broke open the door, and we quickly escaped." Xiao Jun said.
Qin Wan thought for a moment and said: "Those horse bandits must be trapped below and cannot get out. Everyone, go find our goods, as well as the horse bandits' horses, grain and weapons. Let's take them away together!"
Most of this group of people were military generals, but they had no weapons and no horses, so they would not be able to fight the horse bandits.
But as long as a simple light cavalry of thirty people is assembled, they will no longer have to fear bandits and grass bandits along the way!
Everyone quickly followed Qin Wan's instructions and began to check the situation in Ma Bandit. In the end, not only did they recover their own goods, they also obtained a batch of weapons and 28 horses from Ma Bandit's stronghold.
Qin Wan accepted these remarks without politeness.
"Xiao Hao, take everyone out of here quickly. I'll go see if those horse bandits are still alive."
These horse bandits colluded with the officers and soldiers, and if they were left alive, they would definitely cause even greater trouble.
"Princess, I'll go with you!" Xiao Jun quickly followed.
Qin Wan did not refuse and took him to the location of the explosion.
Almost all the horse bandits were dead, and many of them had their bodies exploded into several pieces. Qin Wan walked through the sea of blood and his eyes fell on the slightly trembling figure.
It's the horse bandit leader.
"King...King..."
He stretched out a hand and muttered something unknown.
Qin Wan picked up a knife from the side, walked up to the horse bandit leader, and ended his life with one knife.
"Princess, there is blood here..."
As Xiao Jun said, he suddenly felt something was wrong. After all, there was blood everywhere, so he quickly changed his words: "It seems like someone ran away."
Qin Wan walked over and took a look. The blood was dripping drop by drop, extending forward.
Someone is alive and escaped from here.
"Catch up and have a look."
They chased for dozens of steps and saw the end of the blood trail.
It's a black dog.
"Let's go." Qin Wan didn't look any further, and left Mazhai with Xiao Jun, chasing Xiao Hao and others.
After they left, a man's figure came out from behind the ruins of a huge building not far away.
Next to him, a fat man whose calf was injured by the explosion was in so much pain that he didn't even dare to breathe.
If Qin Wan were here, he would be able to recognize this fat man as Song Rui at a glance.
Next to Song Rui was a guard in black.
The guard looked at the direction in which Qin Wan and Xiao Jun were leaving and said, "Master, this Princess Wan looks extraordinary! I just don't know whether it is a coincidence or..."
"Nine times out of ten, she did it. I just don't know how she did it." The man said with great interest.
Song Rui said angrily: "These horse bandits are so useless. We caught them, but they still ended up like this. Now it's better. They didn't get the property of Prince Jin's palace, and they also took away everything from the horse village."
, it’s exactly the same as the bandit village before…”
The man glanced at Song Rui with disdain and said: "The Langshan Horse Bandits are the strongest force among the bandits in Huaiyang Prefecture. You can't even block a single round in front of them."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me..." Song Rui was immediately frightened.
The man said contemptuously: "If it hadn't been for the many battles your father fought under me and the property of Prince Jin's Palace, you would have been nothing but withered bones by now."
This piece of trash can be injured even from such a distance from the lobby.
If he hadn't asked his men to find a dead dog and put it there, their whereabouts would have been exposed.
"East wind."
"My subordinate is here." The guard in black responded quickly.
"Go to Hanxiling and let the bandits over there explore Qin Wan's strength. I want to see what this woman is like!"
——
After escaping from Mazhai, everyone hurried all night and didn't stop to take a breath until dawn.
"Everyone, let's take a rest."
After a day and a night of no rest, Qin Wan was also a little tired, but she did not sleep. Instead, she called Xiao Hao.
"Xiao Hao, go and count the number of men in the exile team who are over 18 years old and under 60 years old?" Qin Wan said.
After a while, Xiao Hao came back and reported, "Princess, there are thirty-seven people in total."
"I want to form a cavalry team of thirty people. You select thirty people from these thirty-seven people and report to me."
Soon, Xiao Hao came back again. This time, he directly brought the thirty selected people in front of Qin Wan.
Three were removed who were weak and sick, three were older, and one was a weak scholar.
Including Xiao Hao, there were exactly thirty people.
"Get twenty-eight horses from the horse camp, unload the two carriages, and give each of you thirty people a horse. Then choose the best one from the weapons brought out from the horse camp. From now on, the members of our exile team will
My safety is in your hands, what do you want?" Qin Wan asked.
"We do!"
Everyone was very determined and no one had any objections.
Thinking of how their wives, daughters, sisters, and mothers were almost bullied by horse bandits when they were in Mazhai, they only regretted that they were incapable of protecting their families.
Now that Qin Wan has given them this opportunity, how could they refuse?
"Then it's decided. The captain of the cavalry is Xiao Hao. Apart from me, you are at his disposal. Let's work together to protect our family and reach Xizhou!"
"Work together! Protect your family!" Everyone shouted excitedly together.
Huang Mazi on the side saw that Qin Wan had even formed a cavalry team, and felt more and more headache.
How could he, a small errand leader, defeat a cavalry team...
It's over, now the prince's mission can't be completed at all.
After resting for two hours, everyone had lunch at noon, got ready and continued on their way.
This time, thirty young and strong guards armed with weapons and riding horses guarded both sides, which seemed to be quite large.
Most of them came from the military and are now almost the same as well-trained soldiers.
In the evening, the exile team came to the foot of a mountain, and a group of bandits suddenly rushed towards them.
"kill!"
Xiao Hao led the team and rushed towards the bandits without fear.
The cavalry was like chopping melons and vegetables on foot. The bandits left several corpses and ran away in despair.
This battle is won!
The entire exile team seemed to have regained its confidence all of a sudden, sweeping away the decadence of the past.
Huang Mazi trembled secretly as he looked at the corpses.
Where is this still an exile team?
This is a fine cavalry composed entirely of high-level generals!
Chapter completed!
