After paying his respects to Feng Zhaoyun, Lieutenant General Xue rushed into the house with his spear in hand, ready to capture the bandit leader and gain the first merit.

This happened in the blink of an eye. When Feng Zhaoyun reacted and was about to stop him, he said, "Ah... wait..."

A group of people had already kicked down the door and rushed in with deafening shouts, followed by the sound of swords clashing.

Feng Zhaoyun seemed to vaguely hear Bai Mohan scolding her while running, but it wasn't necessarily an "as if".

Xiao Siying cursed inwardly at this moment, thinking that she was really stupid and that Lieutenant General Xue had gotten ahead of her. After saying that, she raised her knife and was about to shout and lead her men in when Feng Zhaoyun called out to her, "General Xiao!"

The knife that was already raised in the air trembled, and the men around Xiao Siying looked slightly disappointed...

He complained in his heart that he might as well go to Lieutenant General Xue, at least he could get the first credit. He saw that his own general was about to be scolded by His Highness.

When Xiao Siying heard His Highness calling her, she nodded with an apologetic smile, "Your Highness? I'm..."

Jiuyi didn't want to miss this moment. He walked over, rolled his eyes at Xiao Siying, then knelt and saluted. "Your Highness, I am incompetent and unable to stop General Xiao. She insisted that something bad would happen to you, and she led the army to attack first! Lieutenant General Xue and I had no choice but to follow her and attack in advance."

Xiao Siying looked at Jiuyi angrily. Was this person deliberately trying to pick on him? He actually complained about me in front of His Highness. And, did he really let that Xue guy take all the good things? Why didn't you, Jiuyi, complain about Xue?

"Your Highness...I am worried about your safety." Xiao Siying said this and lowered his head guiltily, hoping that Your Highness would not punish him for disobeying military orders.

I couldn't help myself, but I kept squatting in a bunch of grass. Why did I squat in the grass? This general is not a rabbit.

Feng Zhaoyun's eyes showed a hint of helplessness. He knew full well that this was no ordinary banditry, involving two nations. Naturally, he couldn't capture Bai Mohan and bring him back to punish him.

"Xiao Siying disobeyed my orders. This time, you will be rewarded for your crimes during the bandit suppression mission in the south." Feng Zhaoyun looked at her. "The bandit suppression incident was minor, but your crime of disobeying military orders is serious! If you are implicated in national wars in the future, even killing you will not be able to make amends for your actions. Return to Kyoto! You! Reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors! Don't let me see you again in Huajun Pavilion!"

Jiuyi held his forehead. His Highness, didn't this also reveal that he went to visit the Huajun Pavilion...

Xiao Siying was so nervous that sweat mixed with blood dripped down his forehead. "Yes! Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me."

I know very well that I can be put to death for disobeying military orders, but the credit should clearly be mine!

Feng Zhaoyun walked towards the house, "Go! Tell them, don't pursue a desperate enemy. This matter ends here."

Jiuyi received the order and entered the house in advance.

But after a while, the sounds of fighting and killing in the house gradually faded away.

When I entered the house, although it had been a day, the place looked completely different. There was blood and corpses all over the ground. These were Mo Han's dead bodies, buying him time.

Feng Zhaoyun walked straight to the room where Bai Mohan usually made tea. The room was still very tidy. When he looked up, he saw the tea set that Bai Mohan had not had time to take away.

He sat down. The Duke's Mansion also participated in this operation. Duke Feng received intelligence that the War King's army had urgently left Wei City overnight. Without a second thought, he quickly assembled his troops and followed.

Duke Feng was wearing yellow armor. Before he even entered the room, Feng Zhaoyun heard the sound of the armor rubbing against his sword.

"Your Highness! Where is Yun Jin?" Duke Feng had just searched the entire house, but there was no sign of Feng Yun Jin.

Feng Zhaoyun took out a box of tea, opened it and smelled it. It was really good tea, as expected, it was from Bai Mohan.

Duke Feng took a few steps forward, "Your Highness!"

The tea maker finally raised his eyes and said, "The Crown Prince has been kidnapped by the bandit leader. If the Duke gives chase now, he might be able to catch up. However, I advise you to stay and have tea with me."

The Duke rushed out of the room and then heard the deafening sound of horse hooves.

Jiuyi seemed to be lost in thought. He stepped forward and asked curiously, "Your Highness, we didn't catch the bandit leader this time, nor did we rescue the prince. If Your Majesty blames us..."

The aroma of tea filled the air, swirling around like mist. Feng Zhaoyun closed his eyes and took a deep breath of enjoyment. "Ah! It's truly extraordinary, Jiuyi! Search this house carefully, there must be other goodies!"

Jiuyi clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Highness!"

There were footsteps at the door, and a woman dressed seductively and wearing heavy makeup was forced to kneel in the middle.

"Your Highness! I have captured this person. She is very vicious and cunning. Many of my soldiers were killed in my attempt to capture her." If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to punish this person, Lieutenant General Xue really wanted to cut her into pieces.

The one kneeling on the ground was none other than Uncle Niu who had escaped during the first bandit suppression campaign. Uncle Niu was kneeling on the ground in a mess, no longer as arrogant as the second bandit who had burned, killed, and looted before.

Seeing Feng Zhaoyun, he kowtowed immediately, "Your Highness, the Prince of War! Please spare my life, Your Highness. I will confess the truth!"

Feng Zhaoyun fanned the air from his nose in disgust, "What a smell! It's so stinky!"

Then he slowly raised his teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea. "Since the bandit leader has been captured, this trip only cost him a prince. Give the orders. That's enough. Let's return to Weicheng."

Lord Niu looked up in horror. He naturally understood what the War King meant. Now he was going to replace his master's title and position.

In fact, it was himself and Tiger Lord who were bandits in the southern part of Shang State. Bai Mohan was not interested in this. He was only interested in the Duke's family and the King of War of Shang State.

Thinking of this, Niu Ye knew that he was powerless to save the situation, so he lowered his head and let them take her away.

Feng Zhaoyun seemed to have thought of something and looked at Deputy General Xue, "Have you found anyone else?"

Feng Yaoxue was also in this house. At that time, Bai Mohan ordered to cut off her tongue and chop off her fingers, but it is not known whether they did so or not.

Facing Feng Zhaoyun's scrutinizing gaze, Vice Admiral Xue thought His Highness was going to accuse him, so he immediately knelt on one knee and said, "I am incompetent."

There was a hint of confusion on her pretty face. Feng Yaoxue was not there. After Bai Mohan left, he actually wanted to take her with him?

Thinking of this, Feng Zhaoyun waved his hand and said, "Go down, reorganize the army and rest. After the Duke and the others return, we will set off for the return journey."

"Yes!"

In an instant, Feng Zhaoyun and Jiuyi were the only ones left in the room. Feng Zhaoyun took the teapot filled with hot water from Jiuyi's hand and poured the hot water onto a new batch of tea leaves. Instantly, hot steam rose, forming clouds, which was quite artistic.

Feng Zhaoyun picked up a white jade cup with his slender and pale hands, put it to the tip of his nose, nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly wanted to take this place for himself.

Then he fell back and leaned against the soft pillow behind him. What he saw was the blue sky outside the window, a gentle breeze, and the sound of reeds.

After so many days, the weight of the burden on my heart finally fell to the ground today. The bandit suppression mission was over, and it was time for me to return.
