A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1891 Conspiracy, the same as the Ninth Uncle

It must be said that Feng Qingchen's luck was extremely good. The remnants of the rebels that His Royal Highness Prince Qing couldn't find were actually encountered by them.

"Ahead are the remnants of the Jiangnan rebels. Judging from their expressions, they probably don't know who we are." Zuo An came back quickly and told Feng Qingchen the information he had found out.

"You mean, they were blocking the road here and then we unfortunately ran into them?" The transition from high-end rebels to robbers was too fast.

Zuo An nodded, then looked up at the sky silently, waiting for Feng Qingchen to give orders.

Sweat... Feng Qingchen was a little depressed and said, "Tell the people in front to stop and not go any further." Those were not ordinary robbers, but an organized and disciplined force. If they went against these people, they would be the ones who would suffer.

"Alerting the snake." Zuo An said coldly. Feng Qingchen ignored him. Alerting the snake is better than losing one's life.

"Send a letter to Jiangnan, notifying King Qing as soon as possible to suppress the bandits." The job of suppressing bandits should be left to professionals. There is no point in having dozens of them join in.

"Let's go back and stay in the county town for another night." Feng Qingchen made it clear that he did not want to confront the other party head-on.

With a little child in tow, dozens of people were fighting against thousands of people. She must have lost her mind to face the other side head-on.

"What if... they find out something is wrong and run away?" Zuo An was very worried. These people were no longer soldiers. They were vicious bandits who would kill people without blinking an eye.

If we let these people run away, it will be the ordinary people who will suffer.

"With every ability you have, you should take on every responsibility you have. With so few people like us, we are no match for them. Are we going to rush forward and die?" Feng Qingchen hugged Feng Jin and got on the carriage first, then asked the coachman to turn the horses around and go back.

Zuo An hesitated for a moment, but followed him: "Can you mobilize the government's troops?"

"What do you think?" After all, she was the Ninth Prince's woman. If she didn't have this little ability, why was she still hanging around in Dongling?

"Aren't you afraid that these people are colluding with the government?" Zuo An thought for a moment and asked again.

"I'm afraid, so I don't plan to call in the government's troops. I'm just going back to the city to wait for King Qing to bring his troops." She wanted to be a hero, but this was obviously not the time to show off her bravery.

"Don't worry, these rebels don't know who we are, and naturally they don't know that we already know his identity. They will only think that we are timid and will wait here for the next fat sheep. Of course, the most important thing is that King Qing's troops are not far from here. They can arrive here in two days and one night at most. These people can't run away." They were all frighteningly kind. In comparison, she was completely selfish.

But she didn't want this to happen. She had to be responsible for the people around her. At Xiao Fengjin's age, it was really not suitable for her to see too many bloody scenes.

After Zuo An knew Feng Qingchen had a plan, he stopped talking and just stood by silently...

The rebels who were ambushing on the small hill waited and waited but Feng Qingchen and his group did not set out, so they sent people to investigate, only to find that they were missing.

"Looking at the marks left by the wheels, they should be going back."

"Going back? Have they discovered us?" A shirtless burly man suddenly jumped out, with a face full of flesh and fierce eyes, he didn't look like a good guy at first glance.

The person who was trying to get the information nodded repeatedly: "They must have discovered us. There are two forks ahead. I saw traces of the carriage, and it was heading towards the town. Boss, do you think they will go to find the government officials?"

“Those softies in the government? They couldn’t even beat those idiots before, so why would I be afraid of them?” The person who spoke was not the rebel leader, but a bald man. It was obvious that he was the leader of this group of people. As for the rebel leader? He was probably dead in the jungle.

"Big brother is right." His subordinates echoed one after another, praising the bald man for his intelligence.

It turned out that they did not just occupy the mountain and become the king. Instead, there was originally a bandit den on this road, and this group of rebels came over, wiped out the original bandits, and then took their place.

The government was aware of the bandits on this road. They had sent people to attack before, but failed after a long attack and suffered heavy losses. The government could do nothing about these people and could only turn a blind eye.

Therefore, the people in the government had no idea that these bandits had been replaced, and they had no idea that these people were the remnants of the rebels that the King of Qing had been looking for.

After Feng Qingchen returned to the town, he stayed in the same inn where he had stayed before. The innkeeper's wife was surprised to see Feng Qingchen and his group, and tried to find out the reason. Feng Qingchen smiled and explained that the child was a little tired, crying all the way, and she was probably exhausted from the long journey.

After leaving this town, there was no other town within a hundred miles, so they would have to spend at least three or four nights outside. She was worried that the child would be tired, so she had to go back and let the child rest before continuing on her journey.

"Go check the proprietress to see if she is in collusion with those robbers." Feng Qingchen didn't show it on his face, but as soon as he turned around, he ordered Xia Wan to check the background of the inn's proprietress.

There's no way. Although this proprietress looks kind, she is indeed suspicious.

Although the proprietress was shrewd, Xia Wan was more resourceful and in no time at all, she figured out the inn's inside story.

"The proprietress is in collusion with the bandits in the mountains. The inn she opened in the town is to facilitate scouting for prey so that she can know in advance which one is the fat sheep. At the same time, she can also know the departure time of the guests so that the robbers can ambush in advance. However... from their conversation, the robbers in the mountain have existed for several years. They only rob property and never kill people. In addition, the mountain is easy to defend but difficult to pass, and the government has suffered heavy losses several times, so they just ignore them." After Xia Wan finished speaking, she stood quietly aside.

Feng Qingchen frowned and said with a smile: "It seems that we have entered a den of thieves. Since the rebels are not colluding with the government, everything will be easy. You take my token to the government and ask the officials to bring people to raid this inn tomorrow."

King Qing's troops will arrive by tomorrow night at the latest, and by then none of the rebels on the mountain will be able to escape.

"How do you know there's something wrong with this lady boss?" As soon as Xia Wan left, Zuo An came back and obviously heard their conversation.

Feng Qingchen did not answer Zuo An's question, but said, "You're back so soon?" Zuo An went to deliver a letter to King Qing. There was no other way, Zuo An was the fastest, so who else could he order around?

"You haven't answered my question yet." Zuo An was a stubborn person, so Feng Qingchen had to explain: "It's very simple. The location and time of their ambush were too coincidental. It was as if they knew we had to pass through there. You know, there are two forks on that road. Since the robbers don't know our identities, how can they know that we will take that road? Another point is that the proprietress is too enthusiastic and likes to ask for information too much."

"You're just talking nonsense... I see you haven't thought about it before. You're just like the Ninth Prince, used to turning everything into a conspiracy." What Feng Qingchen said was completely unfounded. Everything was just her own assumption. But now that the result came out, she could say it with finality.

Feng Qingchen spread his hands innocently: "If you ask me, how can I show my talent if I don't say something profound and unfathomable."

Well, Zuo An couldn't win the argument with Feng Qingchen anyway, and he didn't want to make trouble for himself. When he left, he took out a letter from his arms and threw it into Feng Qingchen's hand: "Here, this is the letter from the Ninth Prince. I brought it to you."
