Outside the county office.
The county magistrate, county deputy, and the others stood quietly with solemn expressions.
They had just received news from the county consoler.
"Milord, why do you think His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly came to our Lu County?!”
Zhao Dong was extremely puzzled.
Their place was just a small county in the State of Qin.
How could it be worthy of the Crown Prince's personal visit?
Moreover, there was no reason!
"Shut up!"
County Magistrate Peng Yu scolded angrily.
He didn't want to talk about that now, in case something else happened.
Just as Peng Yu finished speaking.
A group of people appeared not far away.
When they approached.
Peng Yu led the crowd forward. He bowed and cupped his hands." The county magistrate of Lu County, Peng Yu, is here to welcome Your Highness!"”
Ying Qing placed both hands on the horse's back and didn't respond.
Instead, he looked down from above.
The surrounding air instantly became heavy.
Before he knew it, Peng Yu's forehead was already covered in bean-sized sweat.
Ying Qing didn't say anything.
"Your Highness?" Peng Yu couldn't help but ask.”
"Get up."
Ying Qing said flatly.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
At the same time, Peng Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhao Dong immediately ordered his men to lead the horses.
Ying Qing didn't stay for long. She led the group straight into the county office.
Peng Yu hurriedly glanced at the county magistrate, Wu Yang, with a look of complaint in his eyes.
Wu Yang felt wronged and wanted to cry.
Finally, everyone followed him in.
.........
In the main hall of the county government.
Ying Qing sat at the top while Mu, Wei Zhuang, and the others sat on both sides.
Peng Yu, Zhao Dong, and the others were at the bottom.
"How many bandits are there around Lu County?”
"Have you calculated it?"
Ying Qing didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
However, his words stunned Peng Yu and the others.
" Didn't Your Highness pass by here?'
They all thought that Ying Qing was just out to play and happened to pass by this place, so they came to rest.
However, he did not expect the Crown Prince to mention the matter of the raiders.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the bandits around the county town are all the same.”
"About three thousand people."
Peng Yu replied.
Basically, they would encounter raiders every one or two months.
Therefore, he had a very clear understanding of the other party.
"Three thousand people!"
Ying Qing nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.
However, immediately after.
He changed the topic and stared at Peng Yu." A group of raiders with 3,000 people is indeed not small for a county.
However, as long as the dynasty received a request for help, they would definitely send troops to support the encirclement.
As the County Magistrate of Lu County, in the entire Great Qin, only you have the most rampant bandits. Why is that?”
Swoosh!
Peng Yu immediately understood what he meant.
His face turned pale and his body trembled. He quickly knelt down and explained," Your Highness, you don't know!"
This lowly one had reported to the Empire, and the Empire had sent five thousand troops to clear out those raiders.
However, when the raiders heard that the army from the empire was coming, they hid in the Lulin Mountain and never went out again. They were extremely cunning.
The terrain of Lulin Mountain had always been steep, and it was easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, the raiders were extremely familiar with the terrain there, so in the end, the army did not manage to do anything.”
Peng Yu lowered his head.
How could he not hate those bandits?
Even the 5,000 strong army sent by the empire could not wipe them out. What could a mere county magistrate do?
As a result, the bandits in this area became increasingly rampant.
Ying Qing suddenly understood.
He even suspected that Peng Yu was secretly protecting these raiders.
After all, such things were not uncommon.
"In that case, tomorrow morning, follow this prince and set off to eliminate the raiders.”
Ying Qing said calmly.
As soon as he said this.
Peng Yu, Zhao Dong, and the others were delighted.
After enduring for so long, this group of raiders was finally going to be eliminated!
"I wonder how many troops Your Highness has brought this time?”Peng Yu asked carefully.
"Army?"
Ying Qing glanced at them, then pointed at Wei Zhuang and the others.
"Just the few of them."
Swoosh!
The smiles on their faces instantly froze.
In the next moment, his face suddenly turned pale.
"Your Highness, there are a total of three thousand raiders on Lu Linshan!”
" Don't be rash!"
Zhao Dong quickly tried to dissuade him.
If anything happened to Ying Qing in his county town…
Their heads weren't even enough to chop off.
"That's right, Your Highness, we can discuss this matter at length. There's no need to be so anxious.”Wu Yang also stood up to persuade him.
"Alright, this prince has already made up his mind. There's no need to say anything more.”
Ying Qing waved his hand impatiently.
Then, he reminded her,"Right, announce this matter."”
"We have to let the entire city know.
Zhao Dong hurriedly looked at Peng Yu with a melancholic expression.
"Sir, what should we do?!”
