Feng Yu Heng’s Private Army

Nobody thought that old third would go down the mountain and do that sort of thing. Li Zhu was so angry that he personally moved to go down the mountain to capture them; however, he was stopped by Feng Yu Heng. She asked Li Zhe: “Will you really be coming with me? Will you give up this residence?”

Li Zhu nodded, “I have never thought of living here in the mountains for an extended period of time. It was just unfortunate that we could never find an opportunity. As long as Imperial Daughter will not dislike us, from this day forward, we 100 comrades will be Imperial Daughter’s private army. As long as Imperial Daughter gives the order, even if we are ordered to revolt against Da Shun, we would do it.”

“Right!” The people immediately echoed this sentiment, “From this day forward, we will only listen to Imperial Daughter’s orders!”

Feng Yu Heng nodded, “Good! Since that’s the case, I will order you to immediately begin packing up your things. Also, go and count the number of horses that are in the residence. Those with families also need to bring along their families. We will be descending the mountain today. The wealth will belong to Ji An Prefecture, and I will decide on how it is distributed. Also, 50 taels of silver will be paid to each household in the village at the foot of the mountains as reparations. This will be paid from the money stored in the mountain residence. Does anyone have any objections?”

“No.” Li Zhu shook his head, and everyone else shook their heads along with him, saying in unison: “No.”

“Then that’s that. You guys get to work and get to packing.” After saying this, she looked toward Li Zhu and his wife and smiled, saying: “Coming with us is also quite fortunate. At the very least, I can personally take care of providing your injection.”

With these arrangements, the 100 soldiers in the mountain residence now belonged to Feng Yu Heng in the blink of an eye. Even Ban Zou had no choice but to admire it. It had to be known that with these 100 people in hand, they now had even more force. Although Ji An Prefecture was Feng Yu Heng’s fief, she herself had never personally managed it. She still did not know what the condition over there would be like. Without some skilled people, it would be difficult to get things done.

The people needed four hours to finish packing up their things. Those that did not have families did not have many possessions and did not require long to pack. There were some that had gotten married, and the women were very happy. Hearing that they would be following Imperial Daughter Ji An, they knew that they had finally found the master they had been waiting for. From this day forward, they would no longer need to spend their days living anxiously. Although claiming a mountain as their own gave them freedom, they were not without worries. First, they were worried about the outcome if His Highness the eighth prince would find this group. Soldiers would be deployed to suppress them. Second, they were afraid that the government would suddenly decide to eradicate this mountain residence. Third, they were doing something that could cost them their lives. Who knew if they would attack a true expert and end up being killed.

The women followed their men and were not afraid of dying, but those that had children needed to consider more. They hoped that their children would be able to live proper lives. They had waited for such a long time, day after day, until Feng Yu Heng finally arrived. To the people of this residence, it was a day of celebration.

The residence had 120 horses, and there were 100 that could be ridden. The remaining 20 would be used for pulling carriages that the women and children would sit in. Li Zhu directed his comrades in bringing out the treasures that had been hidden in the mountains. This filled a total of four carriages. The people happily told Feng Yu Heng that after they had stolen these items, they did not know how to make use of them aside from their necessities, thus they were just stored in the residence. They were thinking that they would hand it all over the day that they could follow His Highness the ninth prince.
