How to Sleep?

 "Sir, cover your face."

  When they reached the mountainside, Qing Huai handed a handkerchief to Qin Feng and said to Zhang Liang's comrade," Fang Lei, don't go down."

  "Thank you."

  Qin Feng nodded and took it.

  He knew that Qing Huai did this to prevent any bandits who had not been caught from hiding in the dark and remembering his appearance.

  The big black man nodded and hid behind a big rock.

  He was too familiar with the bandits of Cat Mountain. Even if he covered his face, he would still be recognized.

  As for Qing Huai and Zhong Wu, they weren't afraid that the bandits would remember them.

  Zhong Wu probably wanted the bandits to take revenge.

  "How many people do you have left on the mountain?" Zhong Wu asked as he untied one of the bandits.

  "Other than the three who stayed on the mountain to guard the house, the rest of the people have come down."

  The bandit quickly replied.

  He asked a few more bandits, and they all gave the same answer.

  Zhong Wu gestured to the forest and saw a few guards carrying crossbows up the mountain.

  "Lord Marquis, what should we do with these people?"

  Zhong Wu strung the bandits up on a tree and ran over to ask for instructions.

  "Inform County Magistrate Zhang to bring the prefecture soldiers over to receive them! By the way, I remember that there is a reward for capturing bandits. Tell County Magistrate Zhang to remember to bring my reward over."

  Qing Huai's tone was a little cold.

  The rampant bandits in Da Kang had a lot to do with the local officials.

  Every year, the Jinchuan County government would exterminate the bandits, but every time, the bandits would receive the news in advance and hide in the mountains.

  The prefecture soldiers missed every year, but they moved out every year.

  This was because there was military funding for raiding, and the bandits would even send a considerable amount of tribute money after the event.

  If they went to the mountains, the county government's men could earn a lot of money, and the soldiers could also earn some silver to drink and visit the brothels. Why not?

  "Yes, sir!"

  Zhong Wu ran into the forest and a guard quickly left on a horse.

  Before leaving, the guard glanced at the bandits as if he was looking at a bunch of corpses.

  In reality, these bandits were indeed not going to survive.

  The dealings between the bandits and the local officials were almost a secret in the officialdom of Great Kang.

  Sending the Cat Mountain bandits to the county government was a slap to the face of the county magistrate.

  Qing Huai's fief was in Jinchuan County. Although he only had the right to collect taxes and no management rights, the marquis was the marquis. No matter how angry the county magistrate was, he would not dare to find trouble with Qing Huai. Thus, the outcome of these bandits could be imagined.

  They would definitely be sent to the most dangerous battlefield as cannon fodder.

  Being able to live for a month was already considered lucky.

  The guards who went to the county government had just left when they saw a big fire on Cat Mountain.

  Not long after, the guards who came up the mountain came down with a big box.

  "Lord Marquis, the bandits 'den has been burned down. The valuable things are all here."

  The guard opened the box.

  Most of it was copper coins, some silver ingots of various sizes, and some jade pendants and porcelain.

  " Zhong Wu, go back and settle this. You guys will get 20% of the money, and the rest will be sent to the general camp as military funds."

  Qing Huai obviously did not care about these things and casually waved his hand.

  "Thank you, Lord Marquis."

  Zhong Wu was so happy that his eyes narrowed.

  This was the entire fortune that the Cat Mountain bandits had accumulated over the years. Even if it was only 20%, it was still a lot of money.

  When the sky turned dark, the county magistrate arrived with more than a hundred prefecture soldiers.

  "Lord Marquis, you are indeed a great general. The bandits of Cat Mountain have been rampant for so many years, but in the end, they still died in your hands."

  The fat county magistrate hated Qing Huai to death in his heart, but the moment he met him, he immediately went up to him and flattered him.

  "I'll leave her to you!"

  Qing Huai glanced at the fat county magistrate, snorted coldly, and left with his men.

  Qin Feng shook his head as he watched from behind.

  With Qinghuai's personality, he was probably only suitable for the military. If he went to the royal court, he would probably be played to death very quickly.

  When they reached the Jinchuan County government, the sky was already dark. Qin Feng followed Qing Huai to his residence in the Jinchuan County government-Qing Feng Courtyard.

  In all the ancient movies and TV dramas that Qin Feng had seen, there were fake mountains, flowing water, famous flowers, and beautiful maidservants everywhere in the courtyard of such nobles.

  However, Qingfeng Courtyard was just as Zhang Liang had said. There was no fake mountain or garden. The huge courtyard was empty, and there were a few rows of weapon racks beside it.

  Most of the servants he saw were men, and there were a few women who looked like Third Aunt in the village.

  "You don't know how to enjoy yourself."

  Qin Feng gave Qinghuai another label in his heart.

  After entering the inner courtyard, Qin Feng found Guan Hanyan, Tang Dongdong, and Zhang Mancang were all there. He couldn't help but look at Qing Huai in confusion.

  In the end, he realized that Qing Huai was also confused.

  "Lord Marquis, Mister, it's like this."

  " We packed our things and prepared to leave in the afternoon. We went to find Mancang and set off together," Zheng Fang said." When Madam saw us, she wanted to come with us. She said that she wanted to send Sir off…"

  " Haha, that's good too. Aunt Liu, tidy up the room in the front yard."

  Qing Huai laughed happily." This humble abode is simple and crude. I hope Madam won't take offense."

  On the way back, he was still discussing with Qin Feng that he would set off to the battlefield tomorrow. In the end, Qin Feng said that his family had not made arrangements yet.

  Now that Guan Hanyan and Tang Dongdong were here, Qin Feng didn't have to go back.

  Guan Hanyan came from a small family, so she didn't know anything about etiquette. She knew that Qing Huai was being polite, but she didn't know how to reply. Her pretty face was flushed red with anxiety.

  Fortunately, Tang Dongdong saw her embarrassment and quickly pulled Guan Hanyan to bow to Qing Huai.

  "I've troubled you a lot in Haijiao Village."

  Qing Huai waved his hand casually." Please make yourselves at home. I'll go change my clothes."

  Big Brother Zheng Fang said that they are going to the battlefield. Leader, are you going too?"

  As soon as Qing Huai left, Guan Hanyan pulled on Qin Feng's sleeve with a worried expression.

  "Lord Marquis has treated us well. Since he has spoken, I have to make a trip."

  Qin Feng said.

  Originally, he was still worried about the Cat Cat Mountain bandits. Now that Qing Huai had resolved his last hidden danger, it could be said that he was full of sincerity. Qin Feng really could not find a reason to reject Qing Huai.

  Moreover, he also wanted to go to the battlefield and see how the ancients fought.

  Firstly, it was to achieve meritorious service and be conferred a title of nobility. Secondly, it was also to make weapons in the future. It would be more targeted.

  "Young Master, Madam, the room is ready. Please follow me."

  Aunt Liu led Qin Feng, Guan Hanyan, and Tang Dongdong to the front yard. She pointed to the door on the east side." It's getting late. I won't disturb you."

  "Thank you, Aunt Liu."

  Qin Feng nodded and led Guan Hanyan and Tang Dongdong into the room.

  However, he was dumbfounded after entering.

  He thought that this was a suite, but who knew that there was only one room after entering.

  Although it was huge, there was only one bed.

  Qin Feng looked at Guan Hanyan and then at Tang Dongdong.

  Three people on one bed. How could they sleep like this?
