A thousand elite Imperial Forest Guard led by Sun Zhengheng returned to the camp in the middle of the night.
They carried blazing torches, and most of them had boxes or bulging bundles hanging on both sides of their mounts. They all looked excited and excited.
Looks like a fruitful return!
After the meeting, Sun Zhengheng happily told Wang Chen that their harvest this time was very great. They not only completely destroyed White Wolf Bandits' Den, but also seized the treasure house of these horse thieves.
In addition to countless gold and silver treasures, food and medicinal materials, the Imperial Forest Guards also seized a large number of armors, spears, bows and arrows, heavy crossbows and other weapons.
These equipments are all very sophisticated and are not inferior to the standard weapons in the military, and even exceed them.
And this is obviously unusual!
Because it is impossible for ordinary horse thieves and bandits to store so many equipment and weapons, unless they have an ulterior motive.
White Wolf Bandits is definitely not an ordinary horse thief. These equipments also prove from another perspective that there are rumors that they are involved with Great Yan.
After all, sophisticated armored weapons are not something ordinary craftsmen can create, not to mention there are so many of them!
Wang Chen was moved in his heart and asked, "How do you deal with these things?"
Imperial Forest Guard led by Sun Zhengheng rode back and forth lightly. Apart from the visible gold and silver treasures, they could not carry any more items.
"Everything, including grain and grass, has been sealed."
Sun Zhengheng lowered his voice and said, "All the thieves have been killed and the thieves' nest has been burned down."
Wang Chen nodded. "Very good."
There is nothing wrong with what Sun Zhengheng did.
There must be a large number of thieves' family members, old people, weak women and children staying in the thieves' den, but Wang Chen doesn't think they are innocent.
"Right."
Sun Zhengheng took a sandalwood box and handed it to Wang Chen: "Grand Guardian Wang, this is your share."
This time, the coalition of horse thieves and thieves completely wiped out White Wolf Bandits, who had dominated West Sea Great Grassland for many years. Wang Chen's contribution was second to none.
It was natural for him to take a share of the spoils, and he had to take the big head.
The wooden box Sun Zhengheng handed to Wang Chen may not look big, but the wealth contained inside is extraordinary.
Wang Chen was not polite. "Yeah."
Received it directly.
Of course, in addition to Wang Chen, the other two thousand Imperial Forest Guard who stayed in the camp also received their rewards.
Everyone is happy.
The whole camp stayed awake all night.
As a result, it was not until close to noon the next day that the marriage team broke camp and set off.
The rest of the journey went smoothly, and we passed through half of West Sea Great Grassland without encountering any thieves.
Seven days later, the marriage team arrived at West Sea Prefecture Mansion and stayed in this county for three days.
On the night they arrived at the county town, the heads of the three leaders White Wolf Bandits were hung on the flagpole in front of the city gate for public display.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the city were celebrating!
Over the years, White Wolf Bandits has frequently robbed business travelers traveling to and from the prairie, attacked local herder tribes and villages, and brought serious disasters to the West Sea people.
The major chambers of commerce hate him even more.
Now White Wolf Bandits's entire army has been wiped out, and the three major leaders have all been conferred, which suddenly solves West Sea Prefecture's serious problem.
One can imagine everyone's joy.
Therefore, when the wedding team left the county town, countless people came out of the city to see them off, and the scene was spectacular.
And Wang Chen also took away the bounty he deserved, which was as much as one million taels!
After passing the county town, the wedding team walked for another five days and left West Sea Great Grassland.
Entering the Hanhai Prefecture realm.
Hanhai Prefecture is the second largest county in Great Liang. Its territory is second only to West Sea Prefecture, and it is even more desolate than the latter.
As we head west, the grassland gradually turns into the Gobi Desert, with snow-capped mountains towering in the distance. No human habitation can be seen within hundreds of miles, only some animals such as wild wolves, blue sheep, and snowshoe hares inhabit it.
This border county belongs to the separation zone between Daliang and Dayan. It is also the famous place of exile in Daliang. Throughout the ages, countless criminals have been sentenced to exile in Hanhai to atone for their contributions to the country's border defense.
Due to the harsh environment and sparsely populated areas, the Heqin team did not encounter any bandits along the way.
It's not that there are no horse thieves and bandits in Hanhai Prefecture, but that a small group of thieves would not have the courage to approach such a huge team.
Malaysian thieves like White Wolf Bandits will only choose West Sea Prefecture with lush water and grass.
However, half a month after the marriage team entered Hanhai Prefecture, a huge oasis at the foot of the snow-capped mountains appeared in everyone's sight.
Hanhai City is here!
Hanhai City is the county seat of Hanhai Prefecture. It is also the only big city and has concentrated most of the population of the entire county.
This large city with hundreds of years of history is also an extremely important pass and fortress, guarding the only way to Great Yan.
The reason why Great Liang and Great Yan have always maintained a friendly relationship is that in addition to the common strong enemy Great Qi, Hanhai City also played a big role.
Before the arrival of the wedding team, Hanhai City had already received a letter from the Flying Eagle, so they were well prepared to welcome them.
After a grand welcome ceremony, the wedding team was arranged inside the Mingyu Palace.
Mingyu Palace is the Great Liang royal palace, which is used by Great Liang Son of Heaven to inspect border counties. However, this palace located in the center of Hanhai City has only received emperors very few times since its establishment.
After all, Hanhai Prefecture is too remote and desolate, and it also has a large concentration of prisoners.
However, this palace is very large and can accommodate more than 3,000 people.
According to the plan, the marriage team will rest for five days at Hanhai City, and then go out and pass through Baili Gorge.
After passing Baili Gorge, that is the territory of Great Yan!
Since the journey in the past few days was really hard, after settling down in the palace, Sanqian Imperial Forest Guard also completely relaxed.
"Lord Wang, Mr. Sun..."
A fat man with a fat head and big ears nodded to Wang Chen and Sun Zhengheng and said, "The governor sent a young man to reward Son of Heaven's army with three hundred fat sheep, as well as a thousand jars of fine wine."
This fat man was obviously a businessman or something like that, and he got into the position of the county governor to curry favor with Her Highness the Princess.
Sun Zhengheng smiled and said, "The Sheriff is so polite, then we will be disrespectful!"
The fat man bowed repeatedly. "It should, it should!"
Not only did he bring the fat sheep and wine, but he also provided chefs, cooks and servants.
So with the consent of Princess Qingyun, a bonfire was quickly set up inside the Mingyu Palace, and the fat sheep, skinned and cleaned one by one, were placed on the fire, roasted until they were charred and oily.
A strong aroma of barbecue spreads throughout the palace, making all the Imperial Forest Guards salivate!
When these fat lambs are roasted until they are eighty or nine times cooked, the chef in charge of the barbecue brings the cooking pot, grabs a lot of spices from it and sprinkles it on top, making the aroma even more attractive.
