Sophie and Qian Lan had brought back a total of ten thousand gold coins from Fragrance Pavilion. This time, Zuo Shangchen didn't have to worry about money anymore.
At the same time, Ren Ziling personally brought four beautiful maids in their twenties along with four guards in their thirties and forties, who had the strength of intermediate fighters and were extremely loyal to Zhou Tian Cheng to Zuo Ye's home that afternoon.
Sophie was duty-bound to become the housekeeper, and Qian Lan was helping Sophie by the side.
The second night just after nightfall, Zhou Tian Sheng, who was dressed in black and was wearing a black bamboo hat, came to Zuo Ye's house. and brought the Blood Essence Grass -- a blood-red grass.
Zuo Ye didn't take the Blood Essence Grass immediately after he received it. Instead, he put it away properly.
That night, Zuo Ye stayed with Sophie for the night, while Zhou Tian Cheng was sent out of the city by Zuo Ye to wait.
The next morning, Zuo Ye was riding in the midst of Sophie's reluctant farewell. As for the little black dog Zuo Ye, he didn't bring it with him. Instead, he left the little black dog at home to look after the house and protect Sophie.
After the meeting with Zhou Tiancheng outside Holy Dragon City, the two of them headed towards the intersection between the Holy Dragon Province and the Holy Shield Province.
He had been worn out from the journey!
On the afternoon of the third day, Zuo Ye and Zhou Tiancheng arrived at the encampment of the Holy Dragon Empire's garrison troops.
A pair of patrolling riders stopped Zuo Ye and Zhou Tiancheng. Zhou Tiancheng took out a military tablet, and without even asking Zhou Tiancheng if he was wearing a black bamboo hat or a mask, the group of riders directly brought Zhou Tiancheng and Zuo Tiancheng to the central military tent and saw the highest commander of this garrison, a young officer in his thirties.
”Company Leader Du!” ”We meet again,” Zhou Tian Cheng, who had his face covered as soon as they entered the tent, said to the middle-aged officer.
”General!” The young officer surnamed Du immediately trembled and knelt on the ground in a respectful salute.
”Get up! ”I don't want others to know who I am, so just call me Mr. Wang,” Zhou Tiancheng said to the young officer.
”Yes!” ”Mr. Wang!” The young military officer was very obedient to Zhou Tiancheng's reply.
”Mr. Zuo!” This is the Supreme Commander here, Captain Du Yu Du, ”Zhou Tiancheng introduced Zuo Ye,” Du Yu! This is Mr. Zuo! ”
”Greetings, Mr. Zuo!” Du Yu cupped his hands.
”Well,” Zuo Ye nodded, ”Tell me about the structure and strength of the bandits you have here.”
Du Yu didn't respond immediately after hearing Zuo Ye's words, but looked at Zhou Tian Cheng.
”From now on, Mr Zuo's words are mine,” Zhou Tiancheng calmly said.
”Yes sir!” Du Yu responded, ”There are over a hundred different sizes of bandits here. There are over a thousand big ones, and tens or even hundreds of smaller ones. They are all located near the edge of the forest in the Thunder Mountain Range. Some of these bandits were strong and some were weak, while the strongest were six large bandit groups. These six bandit groups were led by Level 7 and above Warriors, and the leader of the first ranked three light bandit groups was also a Level 8 Warrior, with a total of two to three thousand people under his command. The strongholds of these bandit groups are all very secretive and dangerous, and many of them are easy to defend and hard to attack. All this time, the three big bandit groups and we are all in the water, so if we don't have the strength to eliminate them, they won't do anything to the government's supplies. ”It's still relatively good.”
”Do you know the strongholds of the six big bandit groups?” Zuo Ye said.
”We only know the strongholds of the top three light bandit groups and the fourth demon dragon bandit group,” Du Yu said, ”The rest are hidden very well, and the bandit groups also frequently battle each other to change their strongholds, so it's very difficult to track them.”
”It's a good sign that bandit groups will fight each other to the death,” Zuo Ye said. ”Prepare your men. Tomorrow, we will go and exterminate the Tri-Light Bandit Group.”
”With the help of me and Mr. Zuo, the two rangers that were passing by, a small group of robbers won't have much of a problem,” Zhou Tiancheng said.
”Yes sir!” This time, Du Yu also understood Zhou Tiancheng's meaning — Zhou Tiancheng and Zuo Ye were going to participate in the purge as rangers.
”Tell them to try and catch as many survivors as possible, but as long as they are alive, it doesn't matter if they are missing an arm or a leg,” Zuo Ye said again.
”Yes sir!” Du Yu nodded in agreement once more.
”Report!” At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the tent. Then, a soldier rushed into the tent and saluted Du Yu. We discovered that about a thousand people from the Tri-Light Thief Group had attacked a caravan on the public road, and are carrying their stolen goods and running towards the dense forest. ”
”The heavens are truly helping me, haha!” ”Captain Du, immediately gather your men and prepare to set off.”
”Good!” ”Send orders, gather the entire army,” Du Yu immediately ordered.
”Yes sir!” The messenger immediately left the tent, and at the same time, a loud and clear assembling sound could be heard.
”Company Leader Du!” How many cavalrymen do you have here? ” Zhou Tiancheng asked.
