Everyone present, except Li Zhan, took a breath.

Who is Zhang Meng? He is the father of the Crown Princess and the future uncle of the emperor. He also has an army of 200,000 soldiers under his command.

Although he didn't come to suppress the bandits, if he wanted, it would not take long for all of them to lose their heads.

Everyone was exchanging glances with each other, all of them showing disapproval.

"Zhang Meng is not someone else. They have an army of 200,000." The strong man sitting in the first seat opposite couldn't help but frowned and said. He also expressed everyone's thoughts.

"Although you saved Third Sister's life! We are grateful to you! But we can't do such a dangerous thing for you."

"Yes, yes!"

Someone agreed.

Hua Changjue thought of what Zhang Fengjin had said and knew that the other party must be the second in command of the mountain stronghold, Gao Sheng.

This man is a man of justice, skilled in martial arts, and somewhat knowledgeable in deploying troops on the battlefield. His shortcoming is that he loves to drink. When he drinks too much, he tends to cause trouble.

Hua Changjue nodded to him.

"Even an army of 200,000 might not all listen to Zhang Meng."

"They won't listen to us either." Gao Sheng said coldly. He obviously thought Hua Changjue was a civilian and didn't understand military affairs. This half-baked guy.

"Indeed!" Hua Changjue said with a smile.

"But I have the Emperor's decree. I will be the temporary commander of the 200,000-man army. And Lord Yu beside me will be the military supervisor! So we have the right to do so."

Everyone looked at each other. They heard him say, "We!"

My heart was moved inexplicably.

It's like a super rich relative saying we are all family.

It feels so special!

After talking for a long time, it was clear from both sides of his words that this Duke Anguo did not mean to disdain them. He was also very approachable.

Someone was a bootlicker and poured water for them.

"Drink some water and talk slowly!"

Hua Changjue thanked him sincerely, took it and took a sip.

Yu Jinzhi followed suit, picked it up and took a sip.

Everyone's eyes looked better.

I thought, they really don’t mind.

Li Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked at Hua Changjue.

"What do you want us to do?"

Gao Sheng nodded and spoke a little more gently, "Yes, it's better to make it clear. What are the benefits for us?"

Hua Changjue put down his water glass and spoke to them seriously.

“I plan to outwit and assassinate Zhang Meng together with my brothers from the village!

After the assassination was successful, all the brothers in the village were asked to join the army to directly whitewash their identities.

The elderly, the weak, women and children in the mountain village can also move down the mountain."

Everyone was shocked.

Although they live a comfortable and carefree life here due to their identities as bandits, they are confined to this small mountain village and have to worry all the time.

I wonder if one day the emperor will order me to suppress the bandits.

Maybe it's okay for them because they are not young anymore. But they also have wives, children, and parents. They all feel that they are wronged.

But unexpectedly, Hua Changjue would actually help them clear their identities.

Does this mean that they are no longer bandits, but normal citizens?

There are houses to live in and land to farm. No more worries. No more wandering around.

Children can also learn to read and write, and pass the imperial examinations in the future.

Li Zhan didn't expect him to say that.

Yu Jinzhi opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect Hua Changjue to do this.

He looked extremely embarrassed.

He is the military supervisor, okay? He is responsible for supervising the generals and making sure they do not break the law.

Duke Anguo did a good thing and broke the law right in front of him.

What should he do?

No, he had to ask Qiu Mobai privately.

What should we do about this? Should we turn a blind eye to it, or just go along with it? Or should we report it to the court and let the old emperor know?

Hua Changjue saw the surprise in his eyes, but ignored it. Instead, he said to Li Zhan.

"Master Li, do you really want everyone to follow you and live in seclusion in the mountains, or flee to the ends of the earth?"

"I see a lot of people here, but they all have families with them. Village Chief Li doesn't want those children to be branded as bandits in the future!"

Li Zhan frowned.

Of course he didn't want the children in the village to always be bandits.

But he didn't dare to believe Hua Changjue's words for the time being, because before this, Chang Yun had said something similar to him, saying that he only had to agree to Zhang Meng's request.

Zhang Meng will protect everyone in the village!

As a result, that incident almost led to the destruction of the village.

He was also nearly killed by Chang Yun. If he died, what would happen to these people in the village?

So he didn't dare to trust anyone easily anymore.

Even though this person was introduced by the third sister and was willing to guarantee his life, he still did not dare to make a conclusion easily.

Hua Changjue saw his hesitation and knew that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

Don't rush him.

Anyway, they have already arrived at the village. Everything can be done slowly.

And his little daughter Qingqing will probably arrive tomorrow. He will go down the mountain to pick her up in person.

He knew his little daughter would like it here.

Hua Changjue had been traveling for days. In the evening, he had dinner with the people in the mountain village and went to bed early.

Yu Jinzhi sneaked to a remote place and wanted to release the pigeon, but he was stopped by someone.

Yu Jin was shocked.

I thought, I’m done!

The other party just glanced at him indifferently and returned the pigeon to him.

When Yu Jinzhi was stunned, the other party said.

"My master told me to tell you that everything must be done by Duke Anguo!"

Yu Jin was stunned, and wanted to ask, who is your master? Then he saw the other party showing a waist card. On it was a complicated word "Autumn"!

Yu Jin was overjoyed, as if he had seen a relative. He quickly went over and hugged the other's shoulders.

"Oh, brother, you just scared me. Since you are here, why didn't you come and tell me earlier?"

"By the way! What's your name?"

The other person looked at him and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

He passed by him many times tonight and winked at him many times.

This person was only concerned with eating and drinking and ignored him completely.

Finally, he could only quietly follow him to his residence. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he saw him running out again.

So I followed him out of curiosity to see what he was doing.

I didn't expect this guy to be so stupid. He released a carrier pigeon here. Does he think he has a long life?

Suddenly at this moment, a patrol passed by.

Yu Jin was stunned, and was pushed into the corner by the other party.

The two of them pressed their bodies together.

Yu Jinzhi’s eyes widened.

This is actually a girl???
