Northwest border region.

Ji Chenhai had not received any news from Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao, and the people he sent out to search for them had not found a single clue.

Almost every day, he would secretly take out Ji Fengming's life tablet, which was covered with cracks, and look at it several times.

That day, he saw that the cracks on Ji Fengming's life tablet had disappeared;

The jade slip returned to its original smoothness, and the huge weight that had been pressing on my heart finally lifted.

"Duke Chen, you and your son severely injured my son, so I will take away the glory of your entire family!" Ji Chenhai clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

At this moment, Wei Shu slipped in from outside the tent.

Wei Shu originally had no good feelings towards this bandit leader, but he had no choice but to obey him because of Shang Xiye's letter of command.

But compared to the bandit leader, the behavior of the Duke of Chen and his two sons disgusted him even more.

Between the two, he naturally preferred the bandit leader.

Coupled with their cold observation that day, Wei Shu and the soldiers at the border had figured it out:

This bandit leader genuinely protected his Ninth Prince and was truly determined to oppose the Duke of Chen and his two sons. Therefore, Wei Shu and the soldiers on the border gradually accepted Ji Chenhai.

He whispered like a thief, "Lord Anping, Chen Shiyu has led several hundred men to Luofang Village to besiege the Xidan Army."

"How long have you been gone?" Ji Chenhai's expression brightened.

Wei Shu's timing was very precise: "Just a quarter of an hour after leaving the camp."

Ji Chenhai slammed his hand on the table, his bandit-like aura blazing: "Good! It's my turn to take revenge!"

Ji Chenhai stood up and patted Wei Shu's fairly sturdy shoulder, revealing a hearty smile for the first time: "Come on, take your men and come with me to make a fortune; if I don't strip them naked before they go home, I'm not the boss of Vulture Village!"

Wei Shu rubbed her aching shoulder, staring blankly.

Holy crap!

Did His Majesty send you to the border to defend against the enemy, or did he send you specifically to cause trouble for the Duke of Chen and his son?

“Um, Marquis Anping, Chen Shiyu is going to encircle and kill the enemy…” Wei Shu couldn’t help but remind him.

Ji Chenhai turned to look at him, spreading his hands as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "Let him kill his enemies first. After he's done killing his enemies, we'll deal with him. That way, we won't delay the important matter."

Wei Shu: "..."

Your Highness, are you aware that your father-in-law is so shameless?

Wei Shu gathered his men and quietly made his way to the grove outside the military camp.

Ji Chenhai, dressed in all black, led dozens of masked men in black and had been waiting there for quite some time.

"I sent an entire army, why are you taking so long to finish?" Ji Chenhai said with a look of disgust. He had the dozens of men in black each throw two sets of black clothes and face masks in front of Wei Shu and his men: "Hurry up and put them on before we set off."

Wei Shu: "..."

His subordinates: "..."

As expected of a bandit who's used to robbing, carrying so many black clothes and face masks means he's someone who's up to something big!

Given that what they were going to do was not exactly honorable, Wei Shu and his men had no choice but to comply and all changed into black clothes and face coverings.

Meanwhile, Chen Shiyu, leading several hundred soldiers, was also puzzled as he walked.

Everyone says that the soldiers of Xidan who wreak havoc on the border villages are fierce and ruthless, but he went to several places in a row and found nothing most of them. Even when he happened to run into them, they would just see him and run away without ever fighting him.

What happened to the border soldiers' promise of being defeated ten times out of ten and annihilated?

Could it be that the formidable reputation accumulated by the Chen family over generations scared those people away?
