Feng Liao said with a serious face: "Ming Jian, I know that you are worried about my safety and want me to stay away from the land of swords and soldiers. But have you ever thought about how far Xuezhou Guard is from Wulin County?"
There was only one reason why he insisted on personally bringing the guards to deal with the gang of rogues: the speed of soldiers is precious.
With the traffic conditions of this era and the speed of their group, it will take about four or five days to get from here to Xiushan County; it will take about seven or eight days to go from Xiushan County to Xuezhouwei.
When Feng Liao brought people to Xuezhouwei, more than ten days had passed. It will take at least one more month for Feng Liao to transfer Xuezhouwei's soldiers and horses.
To what extent will this gang of rogues develop and grow in more than a month? It's hard to say.
Xuezhou Guard's soldiers and horses are not many, and it is even more difficult to say whether they are well-trained and capable of fighting.
At that time, Feng Liao couldn't say whether it was Xuezhouwei's soldiers and horses who went to wipe out the rogues, or whether the rogues turned against and killed Xuezhouwei's soldiers and horses.
And Feng Liao had another concern: Even if Xuezhou's guards were strong and capable of fighting and winning, a big battle would be unavoidable. Such a war will be bloody.
Those who were coerced were originally ordinary people!
The more people are coerced by the rogues, the more people will die when the chaos is put down, and the vitality of the land in southern Shandong will be hurt even more.
Therefore, we must destroy the rogue bandits before they grow stronger, lest more people be coerced.
Feng Liao sighed lightly: "The emperor sent me to inspect Lunan, gave me the Emperor Sword, and gave me the right to kill first and then play, just to let me adapt to the situation and stabilize the situation in Lunan.
"If because of my personal safety, I miss the opportunity to fight, leading to the deterioration of the situation in southern Shandong, and more bloodshed, how can I bear it? After returning to Beijing, how will I explain to the emperor?"
Su Mingjian couldn't find a rebuttal for a while.
In a hurry, he rolled his eyes, and from the corner of his vision, he suddenly caught Yong Ruo who was watching their dispute.
There was a flash of inspiration in his face, and he suddenly thought of a powerful argument to dissuade Feng Liao: "My lord, Mrs. Yong is still following me! Does my lord have the heart to drag Mrs. Yong into a place of swords? As the saying goes: A sword has no eyes. In case of knocking , bumped into, hurt Mrs. Yong, how can the prince feel sorry?"
Feng Liao was at a loss for words.
He turned his head to look at Yong Rong, and fell into a violent struggle in his heart, once again regretting bringing Yong Ruo to Lunan.
He thought: Su Mingjian is right, how could he have the heart to drag Ruoruo into the land of swordsmen? What if I hurt her
But the fighter plane really can't be delayed! In a place haunted by rogues, Ruoruo can't be left alone, that's even more dangerous... What should I do? !
Yong Ruo had already noticed their dispute.
Seeing that Su Mingjian turned his attention to her, Feng Liao looked at her with a tangled and struggling face again, so she walked over, held Feng Liao's hand, and smiled at him.
Before she could open her mouth, Su Mingjian quickly said: "Ma'am, the prince wants to take more than two hundred guards to chase and kill those rogues! This move is too dangerous, madam, please persuade the prince!"
Yong Ruo looked at Feng Liao and said calmly, "I support the prince's decision."
She has golden fingers, which can reduce the risk a lot. Of course, it is impossible to be absolutely safe with cheats, but some risks cannot be avoided.
If Feng Liao misses the opportunity in Lunan this time and sits back and watches the bandits grow stronger, such a fatal mistake will be enough to end his political life in the future.
At that time, even if the emperor wants to adopt him, those ministers will try their best to stop him; even if he barely ascends to the throne, the difficulty of securing a stable position will rise sharply.
Feng Liao has already participated in the battle for the emperor's heir.
If he can't succeed, coupled with the existence of Concubine Shen and Princess Xing'an, he will not be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life, the rest of his and her lives.
Su Mingjian was taken aback, never expecting that she would say such a thing.
As a woman, shouldn't she regard her husband as the heaven and put her husband's safety above all else? Instead of crying and begging the prince not to take risks, she said she supported the prince's decision
This, this, this... What is wrong with this
He refused to give up and said: "Madam, you can't encourage the prince to take risks! We only have more than two hundred guards. If the bandits are powerful, the guards will be surrounded, and you and the prince's life and death can not be decided by yourself. This is possible. Death! What's worse: if it falls into the hands of rogues, it will be worse than death!"
Yong Ruo smiled lightly: "I didn't encourage the prince. I just support the prince's decision, because I believe that the prince is not a reckless person and can make the most correct judgment and the most appropriate decision.
"Life is alive, you have to take responsibility. Some risks must be taken and should be taken. If it is true that what you said unfortunately, we are trapped in the siege of rogues, and there is no way to escape, I will kill myself and will not be affected. Those who were humiliated by the rogues."
What she said was very light and light, without any impassioned momentum.
But to Feng Liao and Su Mingjian's ears, it was like a shocking thunderbolt, with a shocking effect.
Seeing that Feng Liao and Su Mingjian looked at her as if they were dumbfounded.
Yong Ruo smiled lightly: "What kind of expression are you guys doing? Do you just treat me as a dead person
"Don't worry! The fortune teller said that my fate is good, and that I will be able to turn bad luck into good luck, and bring good fortune to disaster. So, I believe that nothing will happen to me.
"I'm fine, so naturally the prince will be fine, Lord Su don't need to worry too much."
Su Mingjian looked at Yongruo and wanted to kneel down to her: The fortune teller's words are all nonsense, but the madam actually believes it? really...
But Yong Ruo said that his fate is good, so he is not good to say these words, so as not to be suspected of bringing bad luck to others.
Feng Liao's complexion was even more unpredictable.
He fixedly looked at Yong Ruo, his eyes were so deep that it seemed that there was a vast ocean hidden behind the irises.
Under the candlelight, Yong Ruo and Feng Liao looked at each other.
"My lord, do you still remember what we said at the hot spring village?" Yong Ruo said calmly and leisurely, "I once said: I am willing to accompany my lord in trouble! I am not just talking. I also hope that my lord, don't Forget what you said that night."
I once said: When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Once you make up your mind to move forward, don't hesitate to retreat because of any threats and pressures! If you retreat, it will be a real defeat!
Feng Liao looked at her for a while, then nodded lightly: "I remember. I remember everything I told you!"
I once said: There is no sure thing in this world, sometimes you can only do your best and obey the destiny...
This time, I want to see what is your destiny and mine.
A rogue dares to say, "Wealth and glory are not granted to me, but I will take the country and the country." I might as well be a rogue? !
"Ruoruo, I was still regretting letting you follow me to Lunan just now. But now..."
He grabbed Yong Ruo's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it: "Now, I am very glad that you are with me on this tour of Lunan!"
Su Mingjian looked at his behavior and listened to his words, and he didn't know where to look or whether to cover his ears.
Fortunately, Feng Liao quickly let go of Yong Ruo, and said to Su Mingjian: "Mingjian, you don't need to say more. Either you obey orders now, or I will give you orders in the name of Tianzijian."
Su Mingjian sighed and had no choice but to say nothing more.
He discussed with Feng Liao for a while, and quickly made a decision: stay in Majia Village tonight and make some preparations; Let him return to Yujiaao and take a carriage to Xiushan County! So as not to toss his old bones away.
"Stay here tonight?" Yong Ruo asked casually.
Feng Liao nodded: "Yes! To chase the rogues tomorrow, we have to go out of the village from another direction. We don't have to go back to Yujia'ao anymore, tossing back and forth."
He pointed to the well-preserved main house: "Spending the night in this house is much better than sleeping in the wilderness, or going to live in Yujiaao's thatched hut."
Yong Ruo followed his fingers and subconsciously looked at the three main rooms.
In her ears, his words kept echoing: Spend the night in this house... Spend the night in this house...
There seemed to be a flash of lightning in her mind.
Some things that she hadn't figured out before suddenly came together, and she probably had a little understanding of what happened in the past few days.
The anti-poem written on the wall by the leader of the rogue bandits was not only for expressing his desire to rebel, but also for more and more cryptic purposes!
First, the poem is a provocation as well as a gauntlet.
The leader of the bandits used this poem to tell Feng Liao clearly: We are about to start a rebellion, so hurry up and destroy me if you have the ability! Otherwise it will be too late!
He is seducing and forcing Feng Liao to chase down the bandits and quell the rebellion.
This is the default battlefield to drag Feng Liao into the rogues. In layman's terms: Feng Liao wants to make a routine.
Even if Feng Liao saw through all this, in order to prevent the situation in Lunan from deteriorating, she had to break through this hurdle.
If Feng Liao was timid and dared not break in, then the people behind these rogues would have solved an opponent vying for the throne of the emperor.
Secondly, this poem anti-poetry can also attract the attention of the guards.
It made everyone pay more attention to the fact that "there are rogues who want to rebel" instead of Fengliao's security work.
After seeing the anti-poem, Feng Liao and Su Mingjian have been discussing the bandits and the situation.
Su Mingjian's attention to security work has dropped significantly. Not to mention that half of the scouts have already been sent out to hunt down the bandits.
The third purpose may be the most obscure and crucial one.
This anti-poem makes this room well preserved and has a convincing reason.
Without this anti-poem, Su Mingjian and the others would have thought: Why was the whole village burned and only this one survived
This sense of disobedience will make them rack their brains to find the reason.
If there were any secrets hidden in this room, it would definitely be impossible to keep under such attention.
But now, everyone takes it for granted that this house is well preserved, because the leader of the bandits wants to "open the Taimiao from this house"!
So, is there any secret hidden in this room
Yong Ruo thought: I'm afraid she has to find the answer by herself.
"Then I'm going to take a good look in this room first, I don't know if it's clean or not."
Yong Ruo turned around and walked into the main room, and at the same time said to Lulu in his mind: "Scan this room to see if there are any traps, secret rooms, secret passages, etc."
After carefully turning around in the main room, she already got the answer that Luoluo gave her:
Under the bed, against the wall, there is a very hidden entrance to the cellar. Lulu can scan a person in the cellar, but limited by the scanning range, it is not clear whether there is anything else in the cellar.
Yong Ruo is very glad that he figured out those problems in time.
Otherwise, if she and Feng Liao sleep in this room foolishly, they don't know what will happen!
You know, Lulu will only take the initiative to prompt information related to sterilization drugs, and only take the initiative to save her when her life is dying.
If Feng Liao was assassinated in the middle of the night, Lulu probably wouldn't have any reaction!
