Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

This made her feel like she was being watched, and she was a little restrained, not like she was on a trip.

Chi Junlin, who doted on her after all, immediately ordered five hundred iron cavalry to retreat five miles and follow far behind the carriage, out of sight.

This way, they can quickly arrive in case of danger without affecting their travel mood.

This made Jiang Qianju feel much more comfortable.

At this moment, in the comfortable and smooth carriage, Jiang Qianju leaned against the window, looking at the surrounding scenery with a joyful expression.

Chi Junlin leaned against Yang Yurou's thigh, enjoying Yu Xiao's thoughtful service of peeling grapes for him.

Every now and then, when the mood struck him, he would pull the beauty into his arms, add some fine wine to enhance the mood, and then embrace the two of them passionately.

Just as Jiang Qianju was looking at the fragrant grasses and beautiful trees covering the mountains and fields, enjoying the freedom and beauty of nature.

A sparrow, seemingly attracted by the carriage, hopped to the windowsill and perched there, deftly turning its head to look at Jiang Qianju from left to right.

"Oh! A little bird!"

Jiang Qianju looked delighted, afraid of scaring the sparrow away.

Then he called out to those behind him.

"Red King! Look! Look!"

Chapter 55 The Crimson Emperor Descends! Give Me Back My Little Bird!

When Jiang Qianju called out to Chi Junlin in a low voice, her attention was only focused on the little bird in front of her, and she did not notice the state of the women in the carriage.

Only after she spoke did she realize that the three women were deeply engrossed in their intimate moment.

Yu smiled shyly and embraced him, her soft, sheepish voice seeming to both refuse and welcome him.

Both women held different wines in their mouths, but only Chi Junlin tasted and savored them carefully.

Inside the carriage, the sounds of kissing and smacking could be heard continuously.

The beautiful scenery and alluring atmosphere make one linger and forget to leave.

"Chirp...sizzle...uh...chirp..."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qianju was filled with jealousy and anger.

At this moment, her fair little hands clenched into fists.

A wave of resentment emanated from the window, startling the little sparrow on the windowsill.

With a push of its feet, it flew into the forest.

This sudden reaction startled Jiang Qianju, and she immediately waved to the little sparrow with a panicked expression.

"Alas... alas!"

But by then, the sparrow's silhouette had already disappeared into the woods.

Jiang Qianju could only fum in anger and turn to look at Chi Junlin.

Chi Junlin seemed to sense Jiang Qianju's gaze, and thus broke free from Yu Xiao's entwined lips.

He then wiped his mouth and smiled at Jiang Qianju, "What's wrong now?"

Jiang Qianju glared at Chi Junlin and said angrily, "Chi Junlin! Give me back my little bird!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin chuckled and said, "Where would I get a little bird to compensate you?"

"I don't care! You scared my little bird away!"

Upon seeing this, Chi Junlin took one of Jiang Qianju's hands and pulled her into his arms.

Although Jiang Qianju struggled for a moment, she did not refuse.

Then Chi Junlin took a sip of the fresh wine and drank it with her.

Jiang Qianju gradually became intoxicated by the fine wine, her face flushed, and she looked at Chi Junlin with seductive eyes, shy yet charming, making her irresistible.

Chi Junlin held her in his arms and gently stroked her with the back of his hand.

With a soft "chirp," he kissed her lips.

With his lips sticky, Chi Junlin was about to draw the curtains.

Suddenly, they heard a slight noise outside the window.

Her expression changed, and Jiang Qianju immediately asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"There was the sound of horses' hooves, very fast."

As Chi Junlin spoke, he released Jiang Qianju and looked out the car window.

Jiang Qianju and the other two women found it rather strange.

What's that sound of horses' hooves? Why didn't they hear it?

As Chi Junlin leaned against the windowsill, he soon saw a cloud of dust gradually approaching several miles ahead.

Only then did the people in the carriage realize that what was gradually approaching was a large caravan of horses.

The cavalry formation was scattered, and the riders on horseback were acting wildly; they were clearly not to be trifled with.

Jiang Qianju and the other naive young women still didn't know who the arriving horse team was.

But Chi Junlin and his carriage guards immediately recognized that these were undoubtedly bandits.

"There are bandits in this place?" Chi Junlin's face didn't show much surprise; on the contrary, he found it very interesting.

Because several miles behind the carriage were Zheng Gaoda's 500 elite cavalrymen.

The cavalry would arrive in an instant if she wished.

Jiang Qianju and Yang Yuru all seemed a little worried.

Jiang Qianju seemed a little scared and slightly regretted why she had made Chi Junlin's personal guards retreat so far.

She instinctively grabbed Chi Junlin's arm and said, "How... how could there be bandits..."

Seeing this, the coachman and guards drew their flying arrows and asked Chi Junlin, "Commander, should we request reinforcements?"

"and many more."

Chi Junlin raised his hand, then suddenly remembered something.

He then asked the guard, "Where is this place?"

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, it is within the territory of Huai'an County, about twenty miles from the county seat."

"Huai'an? That should be very close to Yinqiu Mountain..."

Chi Junlin stroked his chin, roughly guessing the identities of the bandits.

Remembering something, she said to the guards, "Don't fire the signal arrow yet, let these bandits get closer. You all watch my signals."

"Here."

The two guards obeyed the order and then looked warily at the bandits ahead.

As the bandit group drew closer, it became clear that their gang was large, numbering over a hundred.

Ordinary bandits and brigands were mostly farmers or military households who couldn't make a living. When a group of ten or twenty people gathered together, they became a force to be reckoned with.

A band of dozens of horsemen is already considered a large-scale, organized bandit group.

Because horses are expensive, even ordinary bandits might not be able to afford to keep them after stealing them.

This gang of a hundred bandits, each riding a horse, dared to travel in broad daylight, robbing the official road not far from the county town, showing no fear of the government troops in the city.

This shows just how arrogant this group of people really is.

Chi Junlin knew that the reason they were so arrogant was because this band of bandits had a stronghold built deep in Yinqiu Mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Because there were secret passages within the stronghold and the watchtowers were fully armed, an ordinary county magistrate leading several hundred militiamen could not possibly conquer it.

Over time, the bandits gained power and became a major scourge on Huai'an.

Chi Junlin knew this because what was interesting about this group of bandits was that their leader was a famous beauty thief.

People call her Rainbow Fourth Sister.

The origins of this Hong Si Niang are unknown. People in the martial arts world only know that she is highly skilled in martial arts and has a fondness for women and treasures.

Several years ago, they fled to the Huai'an area, killed and subdued all the local bandits and brigands, and then gathered them together.

He later frequently attacked wealthy merchants in the surrounding area and robbed businessmen, committing numerous major crimes.

They were feared by the government.

The local county government in Huai'an did organize several encirclements and suppressions, but because Hong Si Niang's bandits were familiar with the terrain and there was a mountain stronghold for defense, they were defeated.

The local government troops are not strong enough. Even if they break through the stronghold regardless of casualties, the bandits will still escape through the secret passage.

Before long, Hong Si Niang will return with her bandits.

The local people have been suffering for a long time.

However, according to the plot, Hong Si Niang will soon encounter Ding Xia.

After capturing Ding Xia, and after a series of heart-to-heart talks and fierce battles, Hong Si Niang abandoned her evil ways and became a helper in Ding Xia's harem.

Chi Junlin knew this information, so naturally he wouldn't leave these bandits and Hong Si Niang alone.

But if they blow the arrow, a large cavalry force will come, and they fear alerting the enemy and causing them to flee.

So Chi Junlin simply waited where he was, letting the bandits come to him on their own.

As the sound of horses' hooves grew closer and the shouts and cries grew louder, the three people inside the carriage, including Jiang Qianju, were terrified and huddled together in fear.

Chi Junlin stepped out of the carriage and stood with two guards, looking towards the newcomers.

Then, sure enough, they saw that the leader of the bandits was a beautiful woman with an imposing presence, dressed in a mink coat.

If an ordinary woman were this beautiful, being among bandits would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

Yet she managed to command the bandits to regard her as their leader and obey their orders.

It must be said that they have some skill.

The bandits, amidst a cloud of dust, quickly approached the carriage and surrounded it with strange cries.

Chi Junlin remained calm and showed no sign of nervousness.

He simply raised his hand and said, "Gun."

The guards then respectfully handed the long spears that had been prepared to Chi Junlin.

Chapter 56 A Fat Sheep Falling from the Sky

The bandits, raising clouds of dust, hurried to the carriage, circling it and shouting.

The horses on Chi Junlin's chariot neighed, appearing extremely uneasy.

But Chi Junlin remained calm and focused, holding his spear as he looked at Hong Si Niang, the leader of the bandits.

Hong Si Niang was sitting high on her horse. Although she was a woman, she was dressed in mink and linen clothes, like a bandit.

She had a precious sword hanging across her waist, and there was a half-sword scar on her face, which ruined the original beauty of her gorgeous face.

However, this added a touch of heroic and bandit-like air to it.

While Chi Junlin was observing Hong Siniang, Hong Siniang was also observing Chi Junlin.

Although she came from humble origins, it was impossible to tell that Chi Junlin's carriage was the official carriage of the royal women of the Great Zheng Dynasty.

However, the gilding and red-applied technique still reveals his status as someone of high wealth and nobility, a very attractive target.

At this time, the two guards on the carriage were dressed as coachmen and were not wearing armor.

Hong Si Niang assumed that Chi Junlin was a wealthy son of an official family who traveled around in his spare time, living a carefree life.

Even if such a fat sheep doesn't have much cash on her, as long as she is captured and a letter is sent to her family, a large ransom can be obtained out of thin air.

This time we really hit the jackpot!

When Hong Si Niang looked at Chi Jun Lin's appearance again, she was amazed.

Today, the Crimson King is not wearing his lord's robes or armor.

Instead, he wore a bright red, wide robe.

At this moment, her black hair was flowing, and she held a long spear, exuding both heroic spirit and a touch of beauty.
