The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Wang Ziteng turned to look at the general, feeling slightly relieved, but still frowning.

"Could it be that the rebels in Qingfeng Village are no longer considered big shots now?"

"This……"

The young general was speechless when he heard this. He scratched his helmet and lowered his head.

Wang Ziteng nodded slightly and continued,

"Many of you here must be thinking the same thing as him. I understand your feelings!"

"How could I not know these things? But I still say that this is a matter of great importance. Before a series of preparations are in place, anyone who dares to move a single soldier will be killed!"

Many people present were shocked when they heard this.

At this time, a civil servant stood up and clasped his fists towards Wang Ziteng and said,

"Lord Wang, can you please send another spy to investigate?"

Wang Ziteng turned his head and stared at the official without saying a word.

The official felt uncomfortable under Wang Ziteng's gaze and lowered his head subconsciously.

Wang Ziteng snorted coldly.

"I have my own opinion on this matter!"

He immediately glanced at everyone and said,

"Everyone, my memorial has already been sent to the Divine Capital at an expedited rate of eight hundred miles. I believe the imperial court's decree will be issued within two weeks at most."

"We are only concerned with the gains and losses of a city or a place, but the emperor's court is concerned with the overall situation of the world! Before the imperial court's order arrives, I hope you will not do anything you shouldn't do."

As he spoke, he slowly walked into the hall, passed in front of the officials one by one, and said lightly as he walked,

"For example, saying something that shouldn't be said to disturb people's hearts, or doing something that shouldn't be done to cause panic among people, etc."

All the officials and generals trembled all over and bowed to Wang Ziteng with their fists clasped.

"Yes! I will obey!"

Wang Ziteng turned around and waved his sleeves.

"I have something important to attend to, so I won't see you off. Please do as you please!"

After saying that, Wang Ziteng turned and walked into the inner hall.

The officials and generals in the hall looked at each other.

In the end, they shook their heads and sighed helplessly, then turned and left.

In the crowd, Niu Ben, grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, and Shi Lei, son of the Duke of Shanguo, walked side by side with frowns on their faces.

Niu Ben looked around and leaned close to Shi Lei and whispered,

"Lao Shi, what do you think Wang Ziteng meant by this? Why is he saying the same thing this time?"

Shi Lei nodded slightly, patted Niu Ben's shoulder and said with a relaxed smile,

"Brother Niu, what are you and I here for in Jinling? Just be patient!"

"National affairs are difficult! But you and I can rest assured. The imperial court and General Wang will not stand by and watch the rebels in Qingfeng Village become powerful! Sooner or later, you and I will have the opportunity to make a contribution!"

Niu Ben thought what he said made a lot of sense and nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly, he saw a figure in the crowd, and he couldn't help but sneer and touched Shi Lei with his shoulder.

"Hey, look, that guy who was picked up is also here. What do you think he could be doing here?"

Shi Lei glanced at the person Niu Ben was pointing at, smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Niu, after all, we are all from the same lineage of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. Why should we be so concerned?"

Niu Ben spat on the ground with a "Puh" sound.

"Bah! It's a disgrace to us to be with someone like this!"

Shi Lei chuckled and shook his head.

"Alright, alright, Brother Niu, there's no need to do this. Just follow me back first!"

"After you and I have recuperated, how about I treat you to a trip to Qinhuai tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Ben burst into laughter.

"Haha! That's great! Let's go!"

The two walked away side by side, talking and laughing.

Jia Zhen, who was not far from the crowd, walked slowly with his head down.

Niu Ben and Shi Lei did not hide their conversation at all, so he naturally heard it.

His face flushed red and his fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He slowly raised his head and looked at the backs of the two people leaving, secretly furious in his heart.

If I get the chance in the future, I will definitely teach these two a lesson!

However, the most urgent task is to pass on the information we learned today as soon as possible.

When he thought of this, Jia Zhen felt like he was Su Wu, the shepherd, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens!

He raised his head and looked around, then silently followed the crowd out of Wang Ziteng's house.

……

Jinling, Xue family.

In a secret room in the Second Courtyard,

Linghu Chong held a piece of information in his hand, smiled and nodded at Xue Pan who was looking expectant.

"Congratulations, Brother Xue! Your application to join the village has been approved!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Pan looked at Linghu Chong with great joy.

"Brother Chong, is what you said true?"

Linghu Chong smiled and nodded.

"That's right! As your guide, I reported your deeds to the Qingfeng Village. After multiple reviews, I agree to let you officially join our Qingfeng Village."

As he spoke, he took out a token from his waist and handed it to Xue Pan.

"This is your identity token, Brother Xue!"

Xue Pan grinned as he looked at the token in Linghu Chong's hand. He was extremely excited. He wiped his hand on his clothes again and again, then reached out to take it with trembling hands.
