A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1892 Come back quickly, it's not because you miss me

The Ninth Prince’s letter still only had two words: “Reply soon.”

He didn't write a single word about the reason, nor did he send any message. Feng Qingchen was completely confused. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out what the Ninth Prince was up to.

"Either the Ninth Prince is bored and misses me, so he wants me to go back and see him; or the matter is very secret and cannot leak out." Feng Qingchen interpreted two reasons from these two words. Of course, the possibility of the first reason is extremely low, and the second one is the most likely.

The Ninth Prince is not such a boring person. He is also busy now. Even if he misses her, he will not send two letters in a row to urge her to go back.

"When will Prince Qing arrive?" Feng Qingchen called Zuo An back again. Zuo An rolled his eyes and repeated what he had said before: "I said, tomorrow afternoon."

"Then we'll leave early the day after tomorrow." They had nothing else to do here, so it would be better to leave early.

"The Ninth Prince has written to you again to urge you to go back?" Two letters in a row, the Ninth Prince missed Feng Qingchen so much. Zuo An looked at Feng Qingchen deeply, but Feng Qingchen didn't feel embarrassed at all and nodded in acknowledgement.

Knowing that there was something fishy about the innkeeper's wife, Feng Qingchen and Zuo An were extremely careful and never touched any food provided by the inn. Feng Qingchen left the Snow Wolf at the inn under the pretext of accompanying Feng Jin on a trip and took Feng Jin for a stroll around this Jiangnan town, buying them food for the next two days.

Cartloads of stuff were delivered to the inn, which made the innkeeper's face turn green: Damn it, you have so much money to burn, right? Why buy so many things for no reason? You might as well keep some more money so that they can make a big deal.

The proprietress tried several times to persuade Feng Qingchen to buy less, but Feng Qingchen persuaded her to introduce to her what special delicious food there was in the town, and then she had to watch Feng Qingchen take Feng Jin out to spend money.

"Ouch, ouch...my heart hurts so much." The proprietress looked at "the silver that should have belonged to her" being taken by Feng Qingchen to buy things everywhere, and her heart ached so much that she wished she could rob Feng Qingchen and his group right now to prevent Feng Qingchen from spending all the silver.

With Feng Qingchen constantly spending money to stimulate the boss lady, the boss lady naturally had no intention of paying attention to whether Feng Qingchen and his group were abnormal, and she had no intention of going out to inquire about the news. Therefore, it was not until the afternoon of the next day when the Qing King's army arrived outside the city that the boss lady received the news.

"Qing, King Qing..." The proprietress was so scared that she peed her pants. She didn't even bother to change her skirt. She dragged her clothes up and down, smelling like urine, and jumped out desperately. But when she rushed to the hut where the message was delivered, she found that the person waiting for her inside was not her lover, but a government official.

"Officer, officer... I've gone to the wrong place." The proprietress reacted quickly, but no matter how fast she was, she couldn't escape the officer's grasp: "I don't care if you've gone to the wrong place or not, just come with us."

The officer waved his hand, signaling his men to arrest the man.

"Ouch, ouch...the police are beating people, the police are killing people." The proprietress struggled desperately and shouted loudly, but no one dared to show up.

"Shut her mouth, she's making too much noise." When the officials are doing their job, except for those vicious bandits, who among the ordinary people would dare to resist?

After the proprietress was captured by the police, King Qing's troops, led by local officials, advanced into the mountains to encircle the remnants of the rebels.

The Qing King's troops are dozens of times larger than the rebels. Although they cannot surround all the hilltops, it is definitely not a problem to surround the rebels and set up ambushes at all exits.

"Soldiers, listen up: we are here to suppress bandits today. These bandits are extremely vicious and cruel. They kill people and rob people. They do all kinds of evil. You all need to be more alert and don't let any of them go." The King of Qing hated these rebels. Along the way, they massacred three villages, killing thousands of people, and even spared the elderly, the weak, women and children.

He would not give such people a chance to live even if they surrendered.

"Yes." All the generals responded in unison.

By the time they rushed into the mountains, it was already dark. By then, even if the bandits facing them were their former colleagues, they would probably not be able to recognize them.

The noise below made the rebels on the mountain panic. When the scout standing on the sentry post ran in, the bald man hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"Boss, it's the King of Qing. The King of Qing is leading his troops in and says he's going to suppress the bandits." The man didn't even dare to breathe and reported the situation first.

"Suppress bandits? Isn't King Qing chasing us? How do we have time to come here to suppress bandits?" The bald boss was too confident. Until now, he didn't think that King Qing had discovered their traces. He still thought that his trick of concealing the truth was quite clever.

"I don't know. Maybe the King of Qing passed by here and, at the request of the local government, he brought troops to suppress the bandits." The scout made a bold guess, but was rejected by the bald man: "It's impossible. Didn't the bandits say before that they had contacts in the government? Once the government has plans to send troops, someone will pass the news up the mountain."

There is no one in the government office, and it is impossible for the bandits to occupy the mountain and be the kings for so long.

"But, but... the Qing King's troops are about to attack." The scout couldn't think of any reason, nor did he want to think about it. All he wanted to do now was to escape.

The King of Qing didn't care about alerting the enemy at all, and he set up a huge battle array at the foot of the mountain. The people on the mountain soon knew about it, and the whole village was in an uproar, and everyone started discussing the troops under them.

"I heard it was the King of Qing. The King of Qing led his troops up the mountain." The person who spoke had a trembling voice, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

"King Qing? King Qing is chasing us. Does he know we are hiding here? Now, we are dead..." Although those who dare to betray are very courageous, no matter how courageous they are, they are afraid of death.

"Surrender, why don't we surrender? Maybe there is another way..."

"Bah..." The man hadn't finished his words when the bald boss who had just walked out heard them. Without saying a word, the bald boss swung the hammer beside him and hit the man on the head. The man fell to the ground with his brains splattered all over the floor. Several people around him were covered in yellow and white brains and blood.

"Damn it, let's see who dares to surrender." Boss Guang threw the hammer at the man, leaving a dent on his chest.

"No, no, no, we don't want to surrender." Everyone was shocked and didn't care about being afraid. They quickly made promises to avoid being smashed to death by the bald boss.

"It's good that you don't want to surrender. Remember this, you are not soldiers now but bandits. You still think that the King of Qing will treat you the same as before? Don't dream. We have killed so many ordinary people. The King of Qing will never let us go. You have to fight this battle whether you want to or not."

Although the bald boss looks barbaric and vulgar, he is a man who can see things clearly. The Qing King will never let them go. Before the people on the mountain could react, the Qing King had already ordered an attack on the mountain...

At all costs, all remaining rebels must be killed!
