"Master, we're not fooling around. We're here to get down to business. Look, last year, Huan Ge went out and quelled the civil unrest in Dali, accomplishing so many earth-shattering feats! The three of us are on par with him, so why can't we do the same?"

"Master, take us with you!"

Xie An blinked his eyes and kicked Li Xun and Li Shou twice. The two little princes reacted immediately and followed suit, acting pitiful and obedient.

Originally, they played with Pei Huan, playing with cats and walking dogs together, and their abilities were similar. But after Pei Huan went out, he came back completely different.

Not only did he make great contributions, but his martial arts skills also improved by leaps and bounds, leaving the other three far behind.

Now Pei Huan has become Li Ji and has been granted the title of King of Qin. He follows the emperor to court every day to discuss state affairs. Surrounding him are either great scholars or civil and military officials.

Who is like these three? They are hated by people wherever they go!

They vowed to change!

We must catch up!

Even if they can't be as good as Li Ji, they should at least make a career so that their family members won't nag them and compare them with Li Ji all day long.

Especially Xie An’s mother!

In the past, I disliked Pei Huan for leading Xie An astray.

Now I keep saying at home that Xie An is not even as good as the little toe of the King of Qin!

Xie An was not convinced!

If you don't know their background, just looking at them standing obediently in front of Pei Heng's horse and blinking their eyes to beg for mercy, you would really think that they are all good kids and easy to take care of!

Pei Heng was not fooled by this and mercilessly pulled the reins of his horse.

"Qin Chuan, tie them all up for me. Once we get into the city, lock them up in the Pei Mansion and hand them over to my third aunt. Tell her that the three of them can't go anywhere until I come back!"

"I know, Duke!"

Qin Chuan waved his hand, and several soldiers came forward and dragged Xie An, Li Xun and Li Shou away with expressionless eyes.

Watching Pei Heng riding away on his horse, Li Ji's eyelashes trembled on his gloomy face.

Ever since that day when he and Pei Heng had an argument in the study, the two father and son had not spoken to each other for a long time.

Along the way, Pei Heng's every word and action made him feel that his father was condemning him.

But he didn't admit it!

He doesn't want to care about that!

What right did Pei Heng have to condemn him? What right did he have to stop him from taking revenge!

"Let's go!"

Li Ji squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, glanced coldly at Xie An and the other three, and took the lead to walk towards Lin'an City.

Xie An and the other two felt ashamed and embarrassed by Li Ji's cold gaze, and they immediately fell silent.

"Master, why do I feel like we are all trash?"

Li Xun was thrown into a corner of the carriage and stammered.

To be honest, Xie An also felt the same way, but he and Pei Huan grew up together, so they had more affection for each other.

He shut up.

"It's okay, just get some more experience. The three of us are not that bad!"

Li Shou crawled over,

"Master, do you have a solution?"

Xie An raised his lips and said with a smile: "Master won't let us follow, but we have legs now, right? When the time comes, we can just run away when the opportunity arises."

"Master, do you know where our master went?"

Li Xun asked.

Xie An chuckled, "I overheard him talking to Helan Yue the other day. He said there's a Dragon Slaying Village to the south of here, and the person they're looking for is hiding there."

"Who is Master looking for?"

"You also know this person."

"We know each other?"

"Yes! It's that bastard Pei Yan from the former Marquis of Jinyuan's Mansion."

……

"Ha! Ha!"

Pei Yan sneezed several times for no reason.

In the mountain stronghold, the bandits were having a celebration dinner.

A few days ago, they had just plundered Kuaiji County, the richest county in Lin'an Prefecture, and robbed several wealthy families. They took away a lot of silver, money and food, and the caves in the mountain stronghold were filled to the brim.

They not only robbed money and food, but also a lot of weapons.

At the moment, a group of people are happily dividing weapons and armor. They are all dressed in a weird way, but they think they are very brave and show off their power in the mountain stronghold.

"Hahahaha, Military Advisor! The situation is very good!"

"Look, the Dragon Slaying Camp is now strong and well-equipped with food and fodder. Can we send troops to attack Lin'an City?"

"After we take Lin'an City, I'm going to live in Qian Wuyong's house. I heard his bed is made of gold, and even his toilet is made of gold! Hahahaha! I've never used a gold toilet!"

Zhou Kui was covered in gold, silver, and jewels. He sat on a chair, beaming with laughter that made it impossible to see his eyes.

Pei Yan felt extremely contemptuous.

Never seen the world!

They're so happy after seizing a county! And they're attacking Lin'an City? This shows that they haven't seen the combat capabilities of a regular army!

These small-time soldiers and generals from the mountain bandits are just trying to steal things. If they were really placed in front of the regular army, they would probably be scared to death and wouldn't even be able to pick up their guns.

However, Pei Yan would not say that.

"Brother, you are destined to be ours. Since we started the uprising, everything has gone smoothly. We have been unstoppable along the way, as if we were helped by God! Now, we should stockpile food and train our troops, then contact the rebel forces in various places to form an alliance and strengthen our momentum."

"As far as I know, Quanzhou and Yizhou will also see civil unrest. Let's send someone to contact them and start an uprising together."

Zhou Kui slapped his thigh when he heard this.

"Okay! I'll listen to you, brother!"

"Report!"

A small thug ran in from outside, kneeling on the ground in ill-fitting armor and reporting:

"Brother, a long procession has arrived in Lin'an. I heard the imperial court sent the King of Qin to provide disaster relief."

"King Qin?"

Pei Yan was confused.

He had never heard of the King of Qin, nor did he know which prince in the royal family he was?

"Yes, our people were mixed in with the disaster victims. We could see his back from quite a distance. He wasn't very old, probably only in his teens, but he looked very impressive and majestic."

Still a teenager?

Pei Yan thought for a long time before he figured out who it was.

"Anyone else?"

"Nothing."

there is none left?

Pei Yan sneered in his heart. Li Gan must be crazy. With so many civil and military ministers in the court, he actually sent a tiny child to provide disaster relief.

It's simply self-destruction!

……

The city gate.

Li Ji looked at the endless sea of ​​disaster victims, and his silent heart couldn't help but twitch.

He had thought about the disaster, but when everything was really laid out before him, when the word "disaster" turned into real people in front of him who were pale, thin and half-naked.

Li Ji's heart still felt a heavy dull pain.

At this moment, he remembered Pei Heng's scolding of him, saying that all this could have avoided happening, and he finally felt a little regretful.

Even if he has never considered himself a person of this world, this world does exist.

"Master Qingtian!"

Suddenly, an old woman holding a child knelt down in front of Li Ji's horse.

"The Lord of Heaven has come to save us! We are saved!"

Immediately, several guards ran up and stopped the old woman and the child.

"This is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. You must not be rude!"
