Chapter 1165: Kill the Bandits and Give Credit to the Cavalry Battalion

"Second Master!"

Li Gui saw Su Mingzhe jump down and couldn't help but scream!
"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

Su Mingzhe put on the bow and instructed Li Gui:
"Tell Mingyan to guard the gate. There are only 30 or 40 bandits. I will be back soon!"

"Yes, Second Master!"

Li Gui suppressed his fear, gave instructions to Mingyan who was hiding in the corner, then jumped out of the wall.

He is Su Mingzhe's follower, and his status is equivalent to Su Mingzhe's personal guard.

What his parents taught him since he was young was that he should follow his master wherever he was, and he should never retreat even a single inch even when faced with life-threatening danger!
So, everyone watched as Su Mingzhe, carrying his quiver, jumped into the bushes and disappeared.

Li Gui had no choice but to grit his teeth and jump down.

"This Li Gui is really loyal, he is many times more loyal than his mother, Nanny Li!"

Su Mingzhe noticed that Li Gui was following him, so he could only stop and wait for him to arrive, and sighed:
"Why did you come down here too? I wanted you to stay on the wall and fight those bandits for a while, to help me attract their attention!"

Li Gui first confessed his guilt, and then he began to speak:

"The Second Master has come down, how can Li Gui stay inside the wall!"

"You are being stubborn!"

Seeing that Li Gui had already come down, Su Mingzhe didn't waste time talking to him and gave instructions directly:

"Wait a minute, the bandits are here, stay here and don't move. Come out when I call you!"

When Li Gui heard Su Mingzhe's order, he immediately asked:
"Second Master, where are you going?"

"Of course I have to find a good place to shoot arrows!"

To Su Mingzhe, Li Gui is really a burden.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves reaching the mountain gate, Su Mingzhe stopped talking nonsense and rushed directly towards a big tree in the distance.

As the bandits came to the place where Su Mingzhe had thrown the torch before, Su Mingzhe did not hesitate at all and directly bent his bow and shot arrows!
call out--

A sharp arrow pierced the sky, instantly taking the life of a bandit.

The other bandits haven't reacted yet.

Then I heard a whooshing sound, and it happened four times in succession.

After five sharp arrows broke through the air, five bandits holding torches fell off their horses.

At this point, the bandits finally reacted. There were sounds of people dismounting from their horses and shouting in surprise. In an instant, the whole place was in chaos.

Su Mingzhe took the opportunity to fire five arrows again, capturing several bandits who were still sitting on their horses.

The remaining bandits were all able to save their lives. After getting off their horses, they hid in the bushes nearby, trembling in fear, and dared not show up again.

The leading bandit saw that ten of his brothers had died before they even got close to the mountain gate, so he shouted at the scout leading the way:
"Are you blind? Didn't you say that the other party are all women and children?"

The spy was also confused:
"Third Master, I am not mistaken. There are really only six men on the other side. The remaining dozen or so are maids, all of them are not very old..."

call out--

A sharp arrow broke through the air again.

The spy was still explaining when he heard the sound of an arrow breaking through the air and shrank his neck in fear.

When he realized something was wrong, he saw the bandit leader who had just scolded him loudly, lying on the ground with an arrow stuck in his head, motionless!

"Oh no! The Third Master was shot to death!"

The bandits, who were already in a panic, could no longer suppress their fear when they heard that "Third Master" was gone. They mounted their horses and fled in the direction they came from.

Su Mingzhe was not polite either and took the opportunity to pull the bow continuously.

By the time Su Mingzhe had finished shooting his arrows, only five of the thirty or forty invading bandits took advantage of the chaos to escape.

There were still twelve people hiding in the ravine and dared not come out. It seemed that they were frightened by Su Mingzhe's archery skills.

Su Mingzhe no longer cared about anything. He tiptoed over and knocked out the remaining bandits with his precious carved bow. Then he returned to Li Gui and asked him to shout to open the door. He also asked Mingyan and others to bring out ropes, tie up the living bandits, and prepare to report to the police tomorrow!

When the people in the nunnery learned that the bandits had been killed or captured by Su Mingzhe and all wiped out, they immediately rushed out with joy.

By the time Mingyan and his four servants had found and tied up the twelve bandits with great effort, the women got the news and came out as well.

Xiren and the maids came running over and asked with concern:
"Second Master, are you okay?" "What can happen to me? They are just a bunch of cowardly bandits. Can they hurt me in the slightest?"

Seeing Li Gui and his men tying up the bandits, Su Mingzhe followed the women back to the nunnery and began to rest.

Sleep until dawn.

After Su Mingzhe got up, he saw Xiren come in and report:
"Second Master, the commander of the Cavalry Battalion, Wei Fengxian, is here!"

"Wei Fengxian?"

Su Mingzhe's mind raced, but he had no memory of anything. He dressed and went outside the nunnery, where he saw a burly man kneeling at the door:
"I, Wei Fengxian, pay my respects to the Second Master!"

Su Mingzhe looked closely and thought the man looked familiar. He searched through his memories and asked:

"Who is Wei Sanpao to you?"

"To answer your question, that is my late father!"

After Wei Fengxian answered like this, Su Mingzhe was no longer surprised that this guy knelt down to him.

Wei Sanpao was once the personal guard of the second Duke of Rong, Jia Daishan.

In the original body's memory, Su Mingzhe and Wei Sanpao had met each other.

Wei Fengxian and Wei Sanpao seem to be almost cut from the same mold.

"Since you are one of us, get up!"

Su Mingzhe laughed and turned back to the nunnery to wash up.

Sitting back at the dinner table, Su Mingzhe asked Wei Fengxian how he got here.

The Cavalry Battalion is the main force protecting the capital and cannot be moved without reason.

Wei Fengxian did not dare to hide it and immediately explained the reason.

After Su Mingzhe fell asleep last night, Li Gui thought about it and still felt that it was dangerous, so he asked everyone to continue guarding, while he rode to the Beijing Camp in the middle of the night to report to Li Gong, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Camp.

Li Gong was a close confidant promoted by Wang Ziteng before he left Beijing.

When Li Gui reported that Wang Ziteng's nephew was attacked by bandits in Shuiyue Temple, Li Gong immediately sent Wei Fengxian with fifty personal guards to protect him.

After Su Mingzhe learned the details of the incident, he immediately scolded Li Gui:

"They are just some bandits, why did you alarm the Beijing army? If the news gets out, the reputation of my Rongguo Mansion will be completely lost by you!"

"Second Master, please don't blame Brother Li Gui. After all, Second Master is precious. There is no need for me to take risks with a bunch of mountain bandits!"

After Wei Fengxian helped Li Gui say a few words, he reported:
"Second Master, I have already asked these bandits. They are all from the nearby Shizhaigou. They said that their informants reported that a young lady from a wealthy family had moved into Shuiyue Temple, so they came down the mountain overnight to kidnap her!"

After hearing this, Su Mingzhe immediately asked curiously:

"Shizhaigou, is it far from here?"

Wei Fengxian replied:
"About sixty or seventy miles!"

Su Mingzhe listened and was silent for a moment before asking:
"Can your Cavalry Battalion destroy them?"

"no problem!"

"Then destroy it!"

To Su Mingzhe, they were just a group of bandits and were of no importance at all.

When they provoke Shuiyue Temple and provoke themselves, they are doomed to die.

"Oh, right, before you leave, take these people with you, and tell everyone that these bandits were on their way at night, and were discovered by the brothers of the Cavalry Battalion. After an exchange of fire, they were killed by everyone. You are not allowed to mention my name, and you are not allowed to mention Rongguo Mansion!"

Su Mingzhe is still young now, and just wants to live a romantic life for a few years. He will deal with the fighting and killing after he comes of age.

Although Wei Fengxian didn't understand why Su Mingzhe would give up this opportunity to become famous, as a general, he knew the importance of obedience as a soldier.

Since Su Mingzhe doesn't let him reveal his information, Wei Fengxian will choose to shut up.

For Su Mingzhe, encountering bandits was just an episode in life.

After returning to Rongguo Mansion, Su Mingzhe simply reported the matter to Jia Zheng and then forgot about it.

However, Jia Zheng pondered for a long time, wrote a memorial, and used his connections to submit it to the Eastern Palace.
