Chapter 186: Suppressing Bandits

"Your Highness, Young Master, something bad has happened! Something has happened!" After delivering the grain to the bandit's lair, Governor Fang hurried back to his mansion and went straight to find the King of Qin.

At this moment, Prince Qin and Pei Jingchuan were sitting in the yard. Seeing Governor Fang's panicked look, their brows couldn't help but frown.

"What happened?" asked the King of Qin.

Governor Fang bowed and said nervously, "Your Highness, just now when I was out of the city to give porridge to the victims outside the city, I met Lord Pei, and he insisted on going with me. I did not refuse and went with him to give porridge outside the city, but I did not expect to encounter bandits who came down the mountain to rob. They were outnumbered, so I could only protect the people. Lord Pei led his guards to fight the bandits, and they captured Lord Pei, killed him and threw him off the cliff! It was my fault for not protecting you, my Lord! "

This was an excuse that Governor Fang had already thought of a long time ago. Anyway, Pei Jingyuan had already fallen off the cliff and was dead, so he could only make it up.

King Qin frowned and looked at Pei Jingchuan. Pei Jingchuan was also a little surprised. He had thought that Pei Jingyuan might be eager to take the credit and attack Fang Shizhi alone. However, the strength behind Fang Shizhi was not simple, and he would definitely not be so easy to deal with.

He wanted to see how Pei Jingyuan would deal with Fang Zhishi first, to test his strength and see if he could make Fang Zhishi reveal something. When the time was right, he would give Fang Zhishi a fatal blow, but what people didn't expect was that Pei Jingyuan died after just one blow?

"Have you found the body?" Pei Jingchuan asked Governor Fang.

Without seeing Pei Jingyuan's body, he still found it hard to believe that Pei Jingyuan would die so easily.

Upon hearing this, Governor Fang shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid the body cannot be found. The valley is very high and bottomless. No one has ever survived falling from it. Besides, I heard that Lord Pei was seriously injured before falling off the cliff. I'm afraid he is in great danger. Young Master, please accept my condolences..."

Pei Jingchuan pondered in silence. Could it be that Pei Jingyuan really couldn't survive?

Just when Pei Jingchuan was puzzled, Xu Qingyan's voice sounded at the right time, "How could Pei Jingyuan die so easily! Generally, if the body cannot be found, it can almost be said that he is not dead. He is the male protagonist, and his luck is strong! By the way, there seems to be this plot in the original book. Pei Jingyuan discovered the secret of the governor and followed him secretly, but was unfortunately discovered and was forced to jump off the cliff by the bandits. After he fell off the cliff, he was rescued by a witch, and the witch fell in love with him at first sight. The identity of this witch is not simple. Pei Jingyuan was able to completely wipe out the bandits because of this witch. Pei Jingyuan made great contributions and followed the clues to catch evidence of the governor's crime. After this battle, Pei Jingyuan returned to the capital and was promoted and made a fortune, and everything went smoothly! 】

Who is this witch? Why does Pei Jingyuan always have all these adventures? If Pei Jingyuan died like this, that would be fine. But now Pei Jingyuan is on the opposite side of him. Although they are brothers, they are also enemies. Originally, Pei Jingchuan did not intend to save him. But after hearing Xu Qingyan's voice, he became alert and could not let Pei Jingyuan go so smoothly. The credit for suppressing the bandits and bringing Fang Shi to justice cannot be taken away by him.

Well, the first thing to do is to prevent Pei Jingyuan from meeting the witch. So, Pei Jingchuan asked the governor Fang in detail about the location where Pei Jingyuan fell off the cliff, and then quietly sent his secret guards to find Pei Jingyuan.

Pei Jingchuan's men searched for two days without sleep, but still could not find any trace of Pei Jingyuan. Sitting in the house, he couldn't help but become a little anxious.

"Qingyan, I want to tell King Qin to lead troops to suppress the bandits." Pei Jingchuan looked at Xu Qingyan and said seriously.

"Suppress bandits? Husband, are you going to take people with you? I heard that the bandits in Yuzhou are very powerful. If you go there rashly, it might be dangerous." Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan looked at Pei Jingchuan with some concern.

"But now, we can't find any trace of Pei Jingyuan. If this bandit is not eliminated, it will become a big trouble in the end." Pei Jingchuan sighed.

In fact, he thought that since he couldn't find Pei Jingyuan, he had to do these things before he came back. Then, when Pei Jingyuan came back, he would have no chance to make merit.

But who would have thought that Xu Qingyan would stop him and say, "Husband, no! This is too dangerous! We must be absolutely sure. I can't let you take risks!"

Xu Qingyan was thinking about the scene on the mountain in her mind, [There are too many poisonous insects, snakes and ants on the bandit mountain, and they are all raised by humans. If my husband goes there rashly, he will definitely not be able to deal with them. There is a clean path on the mountain that leads directly to the yard of the bandit leader, but only the witch knows this passage. We must find the witch first. The witch is the adopted daughter of the bandit. She doesn't know that her parents were actually killed by the bandits. Back then, the bandits kept her because of her ability. If the witch knew that her parents were killed by the bandit leader, she would definitely stand on our side. With the help of the witch, it would be easy to defeat the bandits. The reason why the bandits in Yuzhou are so rampant and cannot be eliminated is because of the witch's ability! No, I have to tell my husband to find the witch first! ]

Xu Qingyan looked at Pei Jingchuan seriously and said, "My husband, I learned from Yuyao that the bandit leader has a very powerful adopted daughter. She said that the adopted daughter was very stupid and was deceived by the bandits. She recognized the bandits as her father, and her parents were killed by the bandits. As long as we can find her, tell her the truth, and help her find evidence of her parents' murder, we can turn her against the bandits. And this adopted daughter is very powerful. Many poisonous insects, snakes and ants on the bandit mountain are domesticated by her. As long as we can find her, it should not be so difficult for us to defeat the bandits."

"Okay!" Pei Jingchuan believed in Xu Qingyan's words very much, so he nodded in agreement.

"Qingyan, I will arrange people for you. You will be responsible for sending people to find the necessary evidence. I will go and tell Governor Fang about the plan to suppress the bandits. He is colluding with the bandits and will definitely tell the bandits about this. At that time, we will split our forces into two groups to mislead them and take them down by surprise when the opportunity arises." Pei Jingchuan told Xu Qingyan his thoughts.

Now, they were living in the governor's mansion, and it was impossible to suppress the bandits without telling the governor. So he decided to expose himself and secretly cross Chencang while repairing the plank road in the open.

——The Hall of the Governor's Mansion——

"Young Master, have you really made up your mind? Are you going to suppress the bandits?" After hearing Pei Jingchuan's words, Governor Fang showed a look of surprise on his face.

"The bandits in Yuzhou are so rampant. If they are not eliminated one day, the people will have a hard time living in peace. So I decided to lead the troops to suppress the bandits myself. Lord Fang, please give me a copy of the map of the bandits' mountain so that I can make a detailed battle plan." Pei Jingchuan said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll bring it to you when the time comes." Governor Fang nodded in agreement, but a dark gleam flashed across his lowered eyes.
