At this time, Bai Qihe received Lin Tianlong's order and brought Fang Taimin and his subordinates with him. He led this group of people directly to the Dongzhi territory, which is the eastern part of Dagan, where the battle took place before.
In recent years, the State of Qi has been restless and has been making trouble in this area from time to time. However, due to the presence of Bai Qihe, they dare not go too deep and can only make small moves.
At this time, Bai Qihe led his army directly to the territory of Qi! When the generals of Qi heard the news, they immediately led their men forward to stop them!
"Bai Qihe, what are you doing here?! We're at a truce now! Are you trying to start a war?"
"Truce? You knew it was a truce? Your people actually led an army to attack me! How do you explain it?"
After Bai Qihe finished speaking, his men behind him brought up the bound Fang Taimin! They then removed the towel stuffed in Fang Taimin's mouth and immediately shouted, "Save me! Save me! I'm the Third Prince's man! Save me, and he'll reward you!"
The people of Qi took a closer look and saw the clothes Fang Taimin was wearing. They immediately roared in anger:
"You're kidding me! You just grabbed a random Qi person and you want to negotiate terms? Don't think I can't see that's just the clothes of a border guard!"
Fang Taimin was furious when he heard this. They had met a few months ago! He immediately roared angrily:
"Open your eyes wide and see clearly! I'm Bang Taemin! Damn it! Show them my ID card!"
Bang!
Bai Qihe turned around and kicked Fang Taimin in the chest casually. Blood kept flowing from his mouth, as if he was going to knock him unconscious.
"Be quiet, you're being a bit noisy."
Then the person behind Bai Qihe took out his ID card. The other party took a look and confirmed that it was the token of the Third Prince. After discussing for a while, he asked the Dagan person:
"What do you want?"
"Bring the lake to the mountain, and let's do it!" Bai Qihe sneered. His eyes looked as if he wanted to eat the other person.
Upon hearing the name, the other side instantly panicked. Hulai Mountain was a crucial location in this land, and if it were lost, it could be very disadvantageous to them in the future! However, they remembered that Fang Taimin was the Third Prince's right-hand man. The Third Prince was also the most likely heir to the throne! After some discussion, they finally agreed. After all, they could just take it back in the next battle.
"Return Fang Taimin and all his men."
Bai Qihe smiled and nodded. After returning all the people, he led his men to camp on Hulai Mountain. To him, these people were of no use. Being able to exchange them for Hulai Mountain was already good enough.
After Fang Taimin returned to the Qi camp, he had a hearty meal and then rode back to the Third Prince at full speed. That's right! He wanted to tell the Third Prince about the princess!
......
Inside the imperial city.
At this time, a struggle is brewing between the orthodox and the branch families of the family. The orthodox are trying to protect the family property while the branch families are trying to seize the assets!
The branch has been oppressed and exploited by the orthodox for years! They live happily and carefree in the city! But the people in the branch can only live a hard life outside, and the money they earn has to be handed over to them for their enjoyment.
As soon as Lin Tianlong came up with this plan, they instantly saw hope. They could now divide the assets, live separately, and even have the opportunity to compete for official positions. How could they not be excited!
The four family heads were now being scolded to death. No matter how they explained, no one believed them! Instead, the half-price money they received made people outside think that it was the money they received in exchange for agreeing to this evil scheme!
Lin Tianlong also secretly sent people to speed up the progress and protect the group of rights defenders. He laughed when he saw the aristocratic families begin to split. If this situation continues, it won't be long before the court officials begin to change! And those bastards will be grateful to me! The former top aristocratic families will no longer exist!
He was laughing happily, and then he looked at the worried Lin Shengwan beside him, and said without thinking:
"Thinking about Xu Xiaoyi again?"
"Ah! Father, what are you talking about! Why would I miss him? I was just thinking about other things." Lin Shengwan blushed after hearing this. She became anxious and panicked, and was at a loss for a moment.
"Wan'er, I'll tell you the truth. I originally wanted Xu Xiaoyi to fight for his life, and wait for you to change your mind and reconcile with him! Then I'd let you live a good life away from the palace! After that, I would take action against the aristocratic families! So that the crown prince can succeed to the throne without suffering! But I didn't expect Xu Xiaoyi to solve this problem with just a letter!"
When Lin Shengwan heard this, she suddenly realized why her father had said that he had to wait until Xu Xiaoyi became famous! Then she asked excitedly:
"Then Father, when will you summon him back?"
When Lin Tianlong saw Lin Shengwan like this, he smiled. He was really fascinated by Xu Xiaoyi.
"Next month, maybe! It's time to let him know his identity!"
"Father, what if he doesn't want to show his talents after learning his identity?"
"Then this is your business! He is your consort! You must find a way to make him dedicate himself to you."
When Lin Shengwan heard this, her face turned slightly red, and her heart began to beat fast. She began to look forward to next month.
A few days later.
Fang Taimin finally rushed back to the Qi Palace and quickly came in front of the third prince Liusu!
When the Third Prince Liusu saw him, he put down the book in his hand in confusion, frowned and asked:
"Why are you back? Didn't I ask you to check the border defenses of the southern branch of the Dagan territory? Have you finished your investigation?"
"Your Highness! Let's not talk about this for now! I found the princess!"
"What! You're looking for the princess?" Liusu's brows relaxed instantly when she heard the news. She stood up and walked excitedly to Fang Taimin.
The princess's whereabouts were unknown, casting a pall over the entire Qi State. If he could bring the princess back personally and then personally deliver her to the altar, he would surely secure the throne sooner rather than later! After all, for some reason, his father had been plagued by nightmares, unable to attend to affairs or attend court, causing discontent among all the officials in Qi State.
"Bang Taemin, you did a great job! Where is the princess now?"
"Report to His Highness! In the southern branch of Dagan's territory!"
"So she's in Dagan! No wonder I couldn't find her even after searching Qi. However, Dagan's defenses are relatively weak. I only need to bring a few men to easily break through them and bring the princess back quietly!"
"No! Your Highness! You must bring more people!" Fang Taimin said this as if he was about to cry.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Because there is a county there, the county magistrate is extremely mean and has many disgusting methods, and the princess is his county magistrate!
And there is a female master beside the county magistrate! She is probably at the fourth level."
After hearing this, Liusu hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile:
"The fourth rank realm is quite interesting. I don't need to pay attention to the county magistrate. He's just an ordinary person! He's completely useless in the face of true strength."
