The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

"Master, the entire village has been fully inventoried."

Qin Chuan ran over to report.

"The cave is full of food, gold, and treasures. The bandits are all here too."

This victory came somewhat like a dream.

The defenders of Lin'an City all felt that it was a little unreal.

It was a rare opportunity for them to follow the God of War, Duke Dingguo, into battle, but it gave them a chance to pull the trigger of a crossbow and shoot an arrow. Then, after accumulating countless emotions with great difficulty, they charged forward with bared teeth, ready to kill, only to be told that the bandits had surrendered and the war was over.

What? Playing?

The real battle is over before it even starts?

Where are the emotions they have been accumulating for so long?

What are the achievements they will be proud of in their lifetime?

What are they going to brag about to their juniors?

But, on second thought,

Fighting without bloodshed!

Isn’t this another different kind of height?

I'm afraid only someone as famous as Duke Dingguo can have such a deterrent effect on the enemy!

Compared to the soldiers' regret, Pei Heng was very grateful.

War always involves bloodshed and death. He had seen too many deaths and did not want to add to the number of innocent people.

He would be very happy if he could resolve this unnecessary banditry without bloodshed.

Just consider it as accumulating blessings for Brother Huan.

"What's going on?"

Zhou Kui was awakened by a loud noise. When he opened his eyes, he felt the sunlight was very dazzling. When he saw the scene clearly, he still felt that he was not awake.

In the dream, he was sitting on the dragon throne, surrounded by three thousand beauties, some slim and some plump, like flowers in a cluster.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the flashing of swords and the shadows of knives. Big and strong men were glaring at him, as if they wanted to come up and have a fierce fight with him.

"Snapped!"

He slapped himself hard.

pain!

"The principal offender, Zhou Kui, will be escorted back to the city immediately. He will be beheaded at the city gate today!"

Following an order, he didn't even have time to see what the person who gave the order looked like before he was dragged away by a group of ferocious-looking men who acted as if he owed them millions of strings of cash.

Pei Heng glanced around but didn't see Pei Yan.

"Master, I've searched everywhere. I can't find him!"

Qin Chuan reported with a serious expression.

"Send a message to Helan Yue and ask him if he has any."

Pei Heng knew his younger brother too well.

In this situation, he would have already slipped away. This was exactly why he had Helan Yue block the back mountain. However, he didn't expect Pei Yan to move so quickly. He had already slipped away before his men arrived.

Pei Heng was very depressed when he heard Helan Yue say that he did not catch Pei Yan, but only caught a few bandits who escaped.

"Master, it's my fault."

Helan Yue lowered his head.

As a close confidant, he knew how much I wanted to catch Pei Yan. Now that he had slipped away from under my nose, there was no telling when I could catch him again.

Just when everyone was feeling down, Li Xun and Li Shou suddenly rushed in, hugged Pei Heng and cried:

"Master, please go and save Master."

Li Xun and Li Shou were both dressed in rags, like little beggars. What was worse was that both of them had wounds on their bodies, with bright red wounds that were still bleeding.

"What happened to Xie An?"

Pei Heng's head buzzed when he heard this.

"Didn't you guys already go back? Why are you still here?!"

Li Shou was crying so hard, and the wounds on his body were hurting so much that he couldn't speak anymore.

Li Xun, on the other hand, still had some manliness and endured the pain to give a brief account of what happened.

It turned out that they took the people back to the city and then quietly returned to the stronghold.

Xie An said that he would personally capture that beast Pei Yan and avenge the people of Lin'an Prefecture.

As a result, as soon as they reached the bottom of the cliff, they ran into Pei Yan who was running away.

"Master, the three of us combined couldn't defeat Pei Yan. Master was trying to save us, but he caught us. Master, it's all our fault. We neglected our training, and when we got to the battlefield, we couldn't even defeat Pei Yan. We also hurt Master..."

When Li Xun thought that Xie An was captured by Pei Yan in order to save himself and his brother, he sat down on the ground and started crying.

"Okay, there's no use crying. The most urgent thing is to find them and rescue Xie An."

Pei Heng looked at the two crying children and felt a little overwhelmed.

At the same age, Huan Ge'er is already able to stand on his own.

Compared to this, my own children are simply too good.

Li Shou finally stopped crying and said while sniffing his nose:

"Master, I'll take you to where the fight just happened."

Pei Heng glanced at his big snotty nose with disdain, wondering which girl this child would bully when he grew up. He was really worried for that girl.

Everyone came to the foot of the cliff.

"That's it!"

Li Xun pointed at a patch of grass with obvious indentations and shouted.

Just now, they met Pei Yan here and had a fierce and life-and-death fight with him.

Pei Heng waved his hand, and Qin Chuan led his men to follow the traces all the way forward.

Pei Heng looked around carefully.

There was only a small amount of blood, which at least confirmed that Xie An was not dead.

This actually relieved him.

Xie An is smart and can always find a way as long as he is not dead.

But when he thought about what Li Ji had told him, that in another life, Xie An died at the hands of Pei Yan, his heart couldn't help but tighten again.

"Master, this way!"

Qin Chuan shouted from the front.

Pei Heng jumped up and ran over, only to see a winding trail in the grass leading to the west, and a piece of rag thrown in the grass.

"It's Xie An's."

Li Shou knew it at a glance.

Who else but Xie An could be so shabby and smelly?

"Chase him! No matter where he goes, I will catch him."

"Yes!"

……

The news was passed back to Lin'an City.

Li Ji, who was always calm, suddenly panicked. He stood up from behind the desk and asked sternly:

"Who was arrested? Can you tell me again?"

The visitor was frightened by the King of Qin's fierce aura, shrank back and said weakly:

"Reporting to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, it's the young master of the Xie family. He was captured by Pei Yan. Duke Dingguo has already sent people to pursue him."

"Which direction?"

Li Ji asked.

"To the west."

To the west?

After a little speculation, Li Ji understood Pei Yan's intention.

"To the west lies Yizhou."

At that time, the flood in Yizhou was the most serious, and bandits were everywhere. The governor Zhou was afraid of being punished by the court, so he simply took refuge with King Kang who fled south. The soldiers and bandits joined forces and rebelled.

Pei Yan was heading for Yizhou.

"Call the troops and go to Yizhou!"

Li Ji ran out.

Pei Shijie and Qian Wuyong on the side quickly stepped forward to stop him. Pei Shijie said:

"Your Highness, the disaster relief work for Lin'an City has not been completed yet. You cannot leave."

"The disaster relief work is almost complete. I believe that Lord Pei and Lord Qian can handle the remaining work. Besides, even before I arrived, the two Lords were handling the matter very well."

Li Ji did not stop.

Qian Wuyong took a few steps with his short legs, hurried to catch up, and said repeatedly:

"It's said that a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. Your Highness, with your precious body, how could you venture into such a dangerous place? Pei Yan blew up the dike and incited so many people to rebel. He is truly an unforgivable crime. Now he has kidnapped the young master, with ulterior motives. Your Highness, the Duke of Dingguo has already gone after him personally. Why would you risk your life? Just wait in peace in Lin'an City."

Wait patiently?

How could he possibly wait patiently?

Is that person Xie An?

The only friend he has in his life.

"He is not someone else, he is Xie An."

Li Ji ran straight out of the government office, jumped on his horse, pulled the reins and said:

"This time, I will definitely save him."
