Chapter 993 The City Lord’s Daughter?

In the second hour after entering Tianlang City, the Rinan tribe fought back vigorously. If they continued to fight, it would be a meaningless war of attrition, and they would suffer losses. Wu Yi ordered Gan Tianba to call back the troops.

The style of a bandit group is to fight when the wind is favorable and retreat when the wind is unfavorable. If they retreat at this time, they can still save their face. If they are late, they may be defeated.

The melodious sound of the golden bell spread throughout most of Tianlang City. The bandits who came in early got a lot of money after this battle. The bandits who came in late, although unwilling, were weak and outnumbered, so they followed Wu Yi and others to retreat.

The Rinan tribe wanted to pursue, but it was fine to pursue on the plains. The field of vision was wide. If you pursue in the streets and alleys, you never know when the cold arrows will come. After suffering a few losses, they became timid.

Wu Yi and others left Tianlang City smoothly, and the fire spread throughout Tianlang City. The horses of the Rinan tribe were disturbed and fled everywhere. It was not an easy task to appease the horses.

The only horses they had were not enough to kill Wu Yi and his men. When they chased them, Wu Yi killed them with a surprise attack. So they followed them from a distance, not letting them out of their sight.

When the Rinan tribe packed up the extra horses and prepared to avenge their previous shame, Wu Yi and his men had already entered the range of the Julan Mountains. There were countless traps in the forests, so it was not so easy to chase them. Wu Yi happily played with the Rinan tribe pursuers behind him, and they gradually disappeared after circling around.

After counting, the loss of Wanzhong in this battle was less than 500, but the casualties of the enemy must be more than four or five times that of their own.

Not to mention that they burned half of Tianlang City. It was a pity that they didn't know where their supplies were stored, otherwise it would have been better to burn them. In addition, they robbed so many treasures, no matter how you look at it, it was a profit.

Of course, this was in the eyes of the bandits. Bandits naturally made a fortune and left, but there was no such thing as building a base. The dense forests were their home.

However, Wu Yi, who understood Zhang Tianwen's intention, knew that there was still something to do next. Such a small victory was far from enough to save Zhang Tianwen's decline at the negotiation table. After all, the Sunan tribe garrison in Tianlang City had to be driven away.

Next, let's see what these bandits robbed in Tianlang City! Blood-stained gold and silver, precious jade and porcelain, are all normal, and women in disheveled clothes are barely acceptable. There is no place to vent in the mountains, which is understandable.

But Wu Yi was really speechless about those who brought chickens, ducks and geese. The most outrageous thing was that they held a sheep. If it weren't for the difficulty of bringing pigs with horses, Wu Yi even suspected that they would bring pigs with them.

However, from their words, in the mountains, if you want to eat meat, you may not have a chance for several months. If you see chickens and ducks, don't rob them now, when will you?

The trading method among the bandits is also eye-catching. One chicken is exchanged for a woman. If it is a young woman, one more should be added.

Is a person only worth a chicken? Even if they are sold as slaves, the price is not just this! Wu Yi has been guarding the Langyankou for several months, so he knows the market.

Wu Yi raised his doubts, but was laughed at by a group of bandits. Bandits who are constantly fighting do not know the day and night. Even if they have women, they are just tools for venting. Sometimes, they are really not as important as a chicken. Weak and sick women are not suitable for long-distance raids. Most of them die halfway, which is still a worry.

As for selling, there must be people who handle it. If the channels are blocked, it is better to trade privately. The bandits also have their own value measurement, but it is too different from that of normal people.

Many women saw that Wu Yi was the leader. He was dressed like a scholar and was gentle and refined. They looked at Wu Yi with hope, hoping that Wu Yi would save them from the sea of ​​suffering. However, after Wu Yi saw it, he pretended not to see it. He was a bandit now and had to act as a bandit.

Moreover, even if Wu Yi wanted to save them, how could he do it? Could they hope that Wu Yi would send troops to escort them south to a safe place? Wu Yi himself thought that he had too few people, so how could he divide his troops? What good would it do to him?

Wu Yi himself was worried that he would be attacked by these tigers and wolves. He would do everything to please them, so how could he risk turning against them?

Therefore, the hopes of these women were doomed to fail. Wu Yi could not save them now. It was not impossible after he established his prestige in the future.

However, just as Wu Yi ignored them and turned away, a woman struggled to leave the arms of the bandits, stood up, and claimed that she had a military secret to report!

At first glance, this woman looked like everyone else, but she dared to speak out at this moment, and she was definitely not an ordinary person. Even if what she said was false, she was probably influenced by what she saw and heard, and had a lot of experience.

What happened next was just like the script. This woman claimed to be the daughter of the Lord of Tianlang City, and she had the Lord's official documents to hand over to the top leaders of the Northern Army.

Wu Yi laughed. What a joke. In this situation, whoever encounters it will laugh first to show respect! Even if what she said is true, what does it matter? The Lord of Tianlang City is also the commander of tens of thousands of people. He was attacked by others and had the crime of losing the land. What is the content of the warrant is not the content of his own offense.

Wu Yi sneered and did not take it seriously. The woman shouted: "Transfer the official document to the court and tell the military situation. Even if you have committed many crimes, you still have the opportunity to receive the imperial edict. If you miss this opportunity, you will be the grass for generations!"

Wu Yi laughed, and people from all directions laughed together. This brave woman seemed to regard Wu Yi as a thief. Of course, Wu Yi behaved like a bandit.

The woman was so anxious that she flew into a rage, but this only made the others laugh even more wildly.

Wu Yi walked up to her and said word by word: "Your father, a defeated general and a lost minister, is just an official document. I don't care at all!"

This sentence completely broke the woman's defense, and she burst into tears. After being intimidated by other gangsters, she did not dare to speak out, she just choked in a low voice, looking extremely pitiful.

But speaking of it, every woman present was pitiful.

Wu Yi finished speaking and did not continue talking to the woman. He walked forward on his own. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and said domineeringly to Gan Tian: "Go on, I bought that woman! After all, she is the daughter of a prince." , don’t let those thugs mess you up!”

Although Gan Tianba was a rough man, he also knew that such ridiculous plots were probably fake. He said, "Who knows if it's just a fake thing?"

Wu Yi glared at him, and Gan Tianba agreed with an unconvinced expression. But there were naturally people around him giving advice, and Wu Yi, with his sharp ears, heard, "You are stupid! Sir, you are keeping this for yourself and enjoying it!"

Gan Tianba suddenly understood and smiled honestly, the more he smiled, the more lewd he became. Wu Yi didn't like him and kicked his ass hard.
