Chapter 249 Thief Head(1/2)
Qi Younian led his troops to clear the bandits, and in the Sanhe Valley at the junction of Ren'an and Hejian Prefectures, he wiped out all the rebels of Xie's family, and captured the bandits Qi Killing alive and followed several people.『≤,
Even Qin Zhen has always been happy and never showed any eloquence. When he heard this news, he couldn't help but applaud.
"Ayou, thank you for your hard work." Qin Zhen looked at Qi Younian and said enthusiastically.
"This is the duty of my subordinates, and I dare not call it hard work." Qi Younian hurriedly clasped his fists and said.
"You have carefully prepared the battle report. I will submit the report today and reward merits." Qin Zhen said.
"Yes." Qi Younian nodded and said yes.
This time, Qi Younian wiped out the Xie rebels. Not only did they catch Qisha, but they also seized a lot of supplies. Among them, there were countless gold, silver and jewelry accumulated by the Xie rebels over the years, as well as food and grass that are very lacking in the army and the people.
In the Battle of Three Rivers Valley, Qi Younian became famous in the battle and began to be praised as the God of War in the army. This battle made him a true leader among the young generals of the Qin Dynasty. His military achievements and reputation eventually led to the ancestors of the Yue Qi family, and the descendants of the Qi family and the war god in the army that the later generals of the Qin Dynasty admired the most.
This turmoil not only changed the pattern of the Qin Dynasty, but also made many people successful. Qi Younian was among the accomplished people.
Qi Younian reported to Qin Zhen and happened to meet Ji Xiaotang when she came out of the living yard.
The two of them greeted each other, Ji Xiaotang asked someone to bring hot tea, and they sat down in the pavilion next to them to have tea.
"Ayou, I heard you were injured." Ji Xiaotang asked, while looking at Qi Younian carefully. No matter how she looked, she couldn't see where Qi Younian was injured, so she thought that he was deliberately hiding it.
"Who told you?" Qi Younian asked, thinking that Ji Xiaotang's news was so well-informed.
"Don't ask who told me, just say if he was injured." Ji Xiaotang said.
Qi Younian paused for a moment and did not ask any more. This time, he followed him to wipe out the rebels and came to Qingyuan with three other men. It was not surprising that Ji Xiaotang could know the news that he was injured so quickly.
Although, he had specifically instructed Mu Hong and the others not to tell Ji Xiaotang about this.
"It must be a wealthy family." Qi Younian said. Since Ji Xiaotang knew, he didn't say it clearly, but instead made Ji Xiaotang even more worried. "It was just that he was scratched by the thief's knife on his waist, but it was just a small injury. Almost all healed. Look at how I look now, how could I feel like I was injured?"
Qi Younian said it lightly, but Ji Xiaotang didn't hear it.
Although Qi Younian did not hurt his muscles and bones, it was also very dangerous at that time and he shed a lot of blood.
Ji Xiaotang looked at Qi Younian's face. Qi Younian had honey-colored skin. After many days of fighting, her skin became darker. Moreover, the people who practice martial arts were supported by the spirit of energy, and there was nothing to be seen from her face.
But after a lot of blood shed, my body must be in a loss.
"I have someone prepare some things to nourish blood and nourish your body. If you can come to your house these days, let the kitchen stew it for you. I will give it to the school that serves you and let it stew it for you every meal... Don't be impatient. Ah You. You are young now and may not feel anything. You can wait until you get older, but you will suffer a loss. ⊥,"
Ji Xiaotang rarely speaks like this. At this time, she almost looks like Mrs. Ji Er.
Qi Younian looked at Ji Xiaotang, and his eyes slowly turned into two crescent moons. He had too many things to be busy with, but he didn't feel annoyed by Ji Xiaotang, but instead felt very comfortable in his heart.
If Ji Xiaotang becomes a relative in the future, what a pretty and considerate wife he would be!
"Okay." Qi Younian's eyes were a little stunned. After all, there was still something important to wake up, so she came back to her senses and said only one good word.
Qi Younian took a sip of hot tea and looked around. Then he lowered his voice: "I caught Qisha."
"Do you want to send him to Beijing? Or are you interrogating here? What did he say?" Ji Xiaotang was not surprised. Both of them knew about her chance encounter with Qi Younian.
"The prince should first interrogate him, whether he went to Beijing or not, and it depends on the emperor's meaning. I have asked him, but he doesn't know Xie Huaijin's affairs and doesn't care about it... He knows about your family."
Qi Younian's words made Ji Xiaotang feel relieved first, and then his heart shrank.
"Only the three of them know about your family's affairs, and the rest don't know... Since being caught, he has tried to commit suicide several times." Qi Younian said slowly, looking up at Ji Xiaotang.
This glance was quite meaningful, and Ji Xiaotang immediately noticed it.
"No, it's too risky." It's too risky for Qi Younian to shut up.
"It is impossible to have no danger. With my family background and military achievements, it's okay." Qi Younian whispered.
"Ayou, we must be careful about this matter." Ji Xiaotang did not want Qi Younian to take risks.
"I know." Qi Younian nodded.
"As long as he doesn't go to Beijing, it's okay." Ji Xiaotang said. "Let him live to see the prince..."
She had already negotiated with Qin Zhen, and Qin Zhen should make a clear statement.
"That's what I mean," Qi Younian nodded again.
Qi Younian did not stay in the pavilion for a long time, so a personal army came to urge him. The arrested people and the materials they had been cleared must be sorted out, and the ones that should be transferred should be handed over and the ones that should be disposed of should be disposed of.
In the next few days, Qi Younian was so busy that he almost disappeared.
Mu Hong, Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao both came to Qingyuan with Qi Younian, and they took a loophole to come to the Ji family that day.
Mrs. Ji Er was naturally happy. She took Ji Xiaoyun, Ji Xiaotang and Changsheng with Master Ji Er to talk to the father and son.
This was the first time they met after the Ren'an Mansion.
Originally, the world was peaceful, and Mu Hong and his son worked in the garrison. At most, they could encircle and suppress a few thieves, but now they are leading troops everywhere to quell the chaos. Not to mention coming to Qingyuan to see their daughters and grandchildren, it is rare to go back even to the family.
Therefore, when we met this time, everyone was very happy and particularly intimate.
"I have heard about Xiaotang.⊥, OK, I am worthy of being the granddaughter of my Mu family, with the courage and ambition of my Mu family!" Mu Hong first held Ji Xiaotang's hand, looked up and down, and then he also rubbed Ji Xiaotang's head with his big hand.
"Ahem." Mu Jiaying skillfully stopped Mu Hong.
Mu Hong noticed it and coughed twice, both relieved and reluctant.
"We Xiaotang have also grown into big girls." Mu Hong withdrew his hand.
Everyone laughed.
Seeing that Ji Xiaoyun was in good health and in good spirits, Mu Hong and others were also very happy. Seeing Bai Pangpang again, he dressed like a little golden boy's immortality. Mu Hong almost couldn't stop talking.
He held Changsheng in his arms, held it on his shoulders, then carried it back into his arms, threw it to the height. He caught it again, making Changsheng scream and laugh.
"Father, Changsheng is a little scholar, no rougher than Xiaojie." Mu Jiaying whispered to Mu Hong.
Mu Hong snorted and ignored Mu Jiaying. However, he no longer threw Changsheng up, but he still let Changsheng sit on his lap and asked Changsheng how much meals he had each meal.
Changsheng is a bit novel. You should know that the people he is familiar with ask him the most is what poems and essays he has memorized.
However, when Mu Hong asked this, Changsheng pinched his little hand and told Mu Hong in detail what he had eaten for breakfast and what he had eaten for lunch today.
Changsheng's milk sounds so irritating that he even said that he had eaten a piece of osmanthus cake to make snacks, which made everyone smile.
Mu Hong liked it so much that he lowered his head and kissed Changsheng loudly.
"This appetite is OK, but it's still a little worse than mine back then. Changsheng, you have to work hard to eat more. Changsheng, look at grandfather, do you want to grow up and become a heroic and taller grandfather?" Mu Hong patted his chest and asked Changsheng.
Changsheng opened his eyes wide and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Okay, dad!" Mrs. Ji Er finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Look at Changsheng is already a fat man, and he still needs to eat more. I'm afraid that he will hurt his spleen and stomach."
Mu Hong was also too happy when he saw his daughter and grandchildren. Seeing Mrs. Ji like this, he laughed and stopped the topic.
Ji Xiaoyun took the immortality to the end, and then everyone corrected their faces and started to the main topic.
"...It's obvious that it has been in business for many years, and it can be called a good military service and sufficient food. If we hadn't received the information in advance and prepared well, we would have suffered losses as soon as we fought. That's it, the official army still suffered a lot of casualties. It was Ayou who led the troops. If it were someone else, not only would he not be able to take down the rebels, but he would have to fill in countless lives!"
Although he had won consecutive victories and captured bandits, Mu Hong did not look arrogant when talking about the war. He analyzed the situation objectively and rationally.
"The military elite needs to be trained, and the food needs to be accumulated. Just in the territory of the Qin Dynasty, it has been discovered for so many years!" Ji Xiaotang always felt that even if this rebel has been wiped out, it would not be reassuring.
"That's right. How have they avoided the imperial court and the people's ears and eyes over the years?" Master Ji Er also said.
"Ayou told us this too." Mu Jiaying said, "He interrogated Qisha and his men, but did not get much useful information."
Qi Sha's verbal voice was very tight, and coercion and inducement were useless to him. It was Qi Younian who designed it based on his temperament that made him speak something.
"I haven't congratulated my grandfather and uncles yet..." Ji Xiaotang said again.
Both Mu Hong and his son were brave and good at fighting and made many military achievements. Now Mu Hong is a thousand households and is in charge of the Ren'an Prefecture garrison. Mu Jiaying was promoted to deputy Qianjia, and Mu Jiahao was also promoted to Baijia.
This time, the father and son made new contributions. After sending the battle report to discuss the merits and do good deeds, each of them will definitely have a lot of rewards, and at least they can be promoted to one level.
Speaking of this, Mu Hong, Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao all had joy on their faces.
"Maternal grandfather, what's going on with Mujiazhai now?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.
"It's all calm now, it's okay!" Mu Hong said with a wave of his hand.
Some people in the Mujia Village were indeed bewitched by the rebels and were incompatible with the rebels. However, because of Ji Xiaotang's earlier reminder, Qi Younian attached great importance to this and specially arranged for Mu Hong to go deep into Mujia Village to solve the problem.
Afterwards, Mu Hong quickly found out the traitor from Mujiazhai. It was precisely because of this that the Xie rebels were ambushing and killing the official army that went to Qingyuan to rescue him. Qi Younian and others not only did not ambush, but instead caught the other party off guard.
Not only were Mu Hong and his son not implicated by the traitors in Mujiazhai and falsely accused of being rebels, but they both made great contributions and received many rewards.
And Mujia Village was also preserved.
"A lot of things are thanks to Xiaotang." Mu Jiaying said.
The Mu family and son did not say anything exaggerated and grateful. They were not good at speaking, but they paid more attention to actions.
On that day, the three Mu family had a banquet at the Ji family and all said goodbye and left. They were about to rush back to Ren'an.
...
Qin Zhen personally interrogated Qi Sha, and a few days later, Qi Sha confessed.
Ji Xiaotang soon learned the main content of the confession. Qisha confessed how they recruited soldiers and horses over the years, and confessed two hiding places that the imperial court had not yet appeared.
In addition, the most valuable thing in the testimony of Qiks is to confirm the identities of the three thieves.
Xie Ziqian is the first leader of the thief, and the third leader of the thief...
