"My dear, wait for Daddy. When Daddy comes back from suppressing the bandits, he will bring you a reward."
After saying this, Bai Tingzhi noticed that his darling's eyes seemed to light up. It seemed that he was interested in the rewards.
Thinking of the many rewards in the private treasury, Bai Tingzhi felt that his darling would definitely like them. It would be just right to keep all those things as a dowry for his darling in the future.
"Dad, you must be careful! Also, remember that the bandits have a secret underground room where their real leader hides. He's the truly vicious one."
"Daddy! We must not let that guy get away. If he gets away, he'll definitely make a comeback. We must catch him."
[The guy on top is a fake bandit leader. The one below is the real one. Daddy and I are very close, so he definitely knows what I'm thinking.]
Bai Tingzhi's face was serious, and he suddenly looked at Bai Mingzhu and spoke.
"My dear, you don't know how cunning these bandits are. They even dared to play tricks on your father. When your father led the troops to fight, they didn't even know where they were.
Dad discovered it! They even prepared a secret underground room. I want to see what’s going on inside.”
As soon as Bai Tingzhi said this, Bai Mingzhu waved her hands quickly with excitement.
Daddy is so awesome, we really are so in tune with each other! Dad, I love you, you're so awesome. Daddy does everything you want to do.
Seeing the little guy so excited, Bai Tingzhi glanced at Mrs. Bai.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"My husband, it's getting late. You should go to the palace."
Bai Tingzhi glanced at the sky outside and nodded. When he was about to leave, he couldn't help but turn back and kiss Bai Mingzhu. After the kiss, he left reluctantly.
"My dear, wait for daddy to come back, be good."
Bai Tingzhi rushed to the palace as quickly as possible. During the morning court session, he did not say it directly because he was afraid of alerting the enemy.
After all, his darling said that these bandits were all the Third Prince's men. If he said it directly, the Third Prince would ask his men to prepare in advance, which would be bad.
When he goes to suppress the bandits later, he will definitely be alone.
So he decided to wait until the morning court was over and then tell the emperor in person.
At this time in the imperial study, the prince was discussing something with the emperor.
"Father, I saw this with my own eyes when I was visiting. Do you think you should send someone to investigate?"
The man in the high position was wearing a bright yellow dragon suit, exuding the aura of a superior. His face was full of majesty, and ordinary people didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"Prince, I now hand this matter over to you. You are fully responsible. I hope you will not let me down.
But if you are sure they are indeed bandits, do not act rashly. I will send General Bai to assist you."
The prince nodded and spoke again to the people above.
"Father, I find the appearance of these bandits a little strange. The area below the Imperial City has always been very peaceful. How could bandits suddenly appear?"
Li Cheng also found this matter very strange. According to what the prince said, these bandits appeared suddenly and no one knew where they came from. It was really strange.
Just as both of them were lost in thought, the servant's voice came from outside.
"Your Majesty, General Bai is outside asking for an audience."
Hearing that Bai Tingzhi was coming, Li Cheng and the prince looked at each other and immediately said.
"Let General Bai in."
When Bai Tingzhi came in, he was a little surprised to see the prince was there, but he didn't say much.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Crown Prince, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
Li Cheng was just about to send someone to call General Bai in, but he didn't expect him to come at such a coincidence.
"My dear, you come here at this time, but you have something to do."
When Bai Tingzhi heard the emperor ask this, he immediately nodded.
"Your Majesty, I have come here to ask for your decision on an important matter.
While searching the surrounding villages, I stumbled upon bandits. After thorough investigation, I discovered they were quite numerous. They were committing all sorts of atrocities in the nearby villages, causing untold suffering to the people. I would like to petition the Emperor to lead his troops to suppress the bandits."
Li Cheng was a little surprised when he heard Bai Tingzhi's words, because the prince had just told him about this matter, but the prince only had a brief understanding of it. Judging from General Bai's appearance, he should have already understood it in depth.
"From what you said, my dear minister, have you already found out where these bandits came from? The Crown Prince just told me about this matter, and I was about to ask him to investigate thoroughly before making a decision, but I didn't expect General Bai to be so quick."
Bai Tingzhi has no clear evidence that the bandits are the Third Prince's men, so he cannot tell the Emperor yet.
Otherwise, the emperor might accidentally think that he was falsely accusing the third prince.
The third prince is the emperor's most beloved prince besides the crown prince.
"Your Majesty, I don't know exactly where these bandits came from, but I think we can suppress them first. Perhaps we can get the answers we want from them."
Li Cheng nodded. He felt that what Bai Tingzhi said did make sense.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Bai Tingzhi and said, "Bai Tingzhi, listen to my order. I order you to lead the troops to suppress the bandits. The Crown Prince will go with you. I hope this matter can be resolved in one fell swoop. Don't let any bandits go."
Bai Tingzhi immediately knelt down and said, "I accept your order."
On the other side, Bai Mingzhu was always in a bad mood. Mrs. Bai knew what she was worried about and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, saying that she was really a little smart kid. She was so young but already had her own troubles.
There was no other way, Mrs. Bai could only divert her attention so that she wouldn't keep focusing on her father's matter.
Seeing the person coming in, Mrs. Bai immediately smiled happily.
"Good boy, your big brother is here to see you."
Sure enough, when her little girl heard that her elder brother was coming to see her, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Big brother, where is big brother? I haven't seen big brother yet. Second brother and little brother are so handsome, big brother must be handsome too. Woo, I'm so happy! They are all handsome men."
Baiyin, who had just stepped in, subconsciously stopped and was a little confused when he heard the voice.
【Brother, brother, my dear brother, where are you?】
