Qin Dynasty: Raising troops to capture the Bad Guys and stealing Yan Ling Ji.

08. Swarming out

After Tianweixing left, Han Feng's gaze fell on Tianxianxing.

"Tianxianxing, you immediately lead the elite Bad People that Tianweixing did not take with you to clean up the battlefield, bury the corpses, and prevent the outbreak of plague."

"Remember to give a proper burial to the guards and miners who died in battle."

Han Feng gave direct orders to Tian Xianxing.

"It's the master!"

Tianxianxing, upon hearing the order, clasped his hands in acceptance.

He then withdrew to carry out Han Feng's orders.

Han Feng's eyes shifted and landed on Tian Sha Xing. He ordered, "Tian Sha Xing, immediately take your men to settle the wounded. At the same time, strengthen the defenses of the valley and guard against an attack from the White Wolf Stronghold bandits."

"Yes, Master!" Tian Sha Xing clasped his hands in response and accepted the order.

He then turned and left.

After Tianxianxing and Tianshaxing left, Han Feng gathered all the surviving guards and miners, comforted them, and promised to reward everyone who had contributed after the destruction of White Wolf Stronghold.

The surviving guards and miners were overjoyed upon hearing this, and their hearts filled with anticipation.

At the same time, he became even more loyal to Han Feng.

at dusk.

Han Feng walked out of the wounded soldiers' ward and was about to return to the room that Tian Sha Xing had prepared for him.

Tian Sha Xing arrived with a guard to report.

Han Feng glanced at Tian Sha Xing, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Then, his gaze fell on the guards brought by Tian Sha Xing: "What important matter do you have to report?"

Upon seeing this, the guard hurriedly knelt on one knee and begged for forgiveness, saying, "I am incompetent and could not bring reinforcements. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng immediately understood what was going on.

The guard in front of me should be the one Tian Sha Xing sent to deliver a message, asking his deputy Li Wu to lead troops to support the gold mine.

"Tell me in detail about Li Wu's reaction."

Han Feng exuded authority without being angry.

"Your Highness, after I arrived at the camp, I was stopped by the guards and was unable to enter the camp or see Deputy General Li Wu."

"I waited outside the camp for several hours before I saw Li Wu, the deputy general, returning from outside."

"I then conveyed Your Highness's orders to him, but Vice General Li Wu refused to send troops immediately, citing the need for the army to assemble and the fact that it was getting dark and not advisable to send troops. He said... he said he would lead troops to come to the rescue first thing tomorrow morning."

The guard reported the truth in one breath.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng inwardly sneered.

He had already anticipated this outcome.

He knew that his deputy, Li Wu, would most likely find an excuse not to come.

The reason why Tian Sha Xing sent someone to ask Deputy General Li Wu to send troops to rescue the gold mine was simply to test Li Wu.

Now, the test has been conducted.

This deputy general, Li Wu, is definitely problematic.

Similarly, they cannot be kept.

After he finished dealing with the bandits of White Wolf Stronghold, the next person to take over was his deputy, Li Wu.

A cold glint flashed in Han Feng's eyes.

His gaze then fell on the guard, and he said expressionlessly, "You are innocent! Get up!"

Upon hearing this, the guard's tense heart immediately relaxed.

Immediately, he kowtowed deeply to Han Feng, saying, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness!"

Then he stood up, stood aside, and waited for instructions.

Han Feng ignored him and instead focused his gaze on Tian Sha Xing, asking, "Is there anything else important to report?"

Tian Sha Xing thought for a moment, then met Han Feng's gaze, clasped his hands and said, "Master, should I go and kill him myself?"

The moment Han Feng revealed a hint of killing intent towards his deputy Li Wu, Tian Sha Xing naturally sensed it.

Therefore, he volunteered.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng shook his head: "No rush! Let him live a couple more days!"

"Right now, the priority is to deal with the bandits of White Wolf Stronghold and protect the gold mine."

Han Feng declined Tian Shaxing's offer of service.

On one hand, Li Wu is quite strong, also at the Innate Realm.

The Heavenly Killer Star may not be a match for them.

Moreover, this was in someone else's military camp.

"It's the master!"

Knowing that Han Feng had made up his mind, Tian Sha Xing said nothing more.

He then bid farewell to Han Feng and left with the guards he had just brought.

After they left, Han Feng headed towards his room.

Then he began to cultivate.

······

While Han Feng was cultivating.

Nanyang Dayingli.

"what?"

Li Wu exclaimed in surprise, standing above, staring in disbelief at the scout before him.

This scout was the captain of the scout team he had sent to investigate the gold mine, and also one of his trusted confidants.

"General, it's true!"

"When my men arrived, the battle had already ended long ago."

"The prince's men are burying the bandits' corpses."

The scout captain reported the truth.

Didn't they say the gold mine was about to be captured?

How could more than two hundred bandits be wiped out by the people brought by the prince?

Li Wu looked incredulous.

He knew how formidable the bandits of White Wolf Stronghold were.

"Are you sure the young master killed all two hundred-plus White Wolf Stronghold bandits?"

Li Wu still refused to accept the facts.

"General, everything I have said is true!"

"When the prince's men buried the bandits' bodies, we subordinates watched in the dark."

The scout captain looked certain.

Upon hearing this, Li Wu flew into a rage, grabbed a wine bowl from the table, and began smashing it violently.

bang~

bang bang bang~

"waste!"

"They're all useless..."

Li Wu smashed things while cursing angrily.

The scout captain kneeling below trembled and dared not move, lest Li Wu take his anger out on him.

Having vented his anger, Li Wu gradually calmed down.

Li Wu's eyes turned dark as he looked at the scout captain.

Upon seeing this, the scout captain hurriedly spoke up and continued, "General, I have learned that the young master has settled down at the gold mine and seems to intend to stay for an extended period."

Upon hearing this, Li Wu's attention was immediately diverted.

At the same time, his eyes darted around rapidly.

A dozen or so breaths passed.

Li Wu raised his eyes, looked at the scout captain, and asked, "How many guards does the young master still have? How many of them are still capable of fighting?"
