Wei Fu waved his hand and said, "This isn't Fu'er's credit. It was little brother who reminded him. Even without little brother's reminder, big brother and brother Su would have known what was going on after their conversation."
"And after Big Brother kills that bad guy, he can continue to interrogate the rest. They'll definitely tell the truth and not lie!"
"So big brother, you don't have to thank Fu'er, hehe..."
Wei Fu was telling the truth, and she didn't want the prince to doubt himself.
In her eyes, her brother is already very good.
The prince felt very warm. If it were anyone else, they would definitely take all the credit for themselves, but Fu'er would never do that.
The next words he was about to say were swallowed back.
He originally wanted to tell Wei Fu that she didn't need to help him anymore, but after hearing what Wei Fu said, it would seem hypocritical if he said that again.
Moreover, he was wrong from the beginning.
They want to protect Fu'er, and Fu'er also wants to protect them. Everyone has the same feelings and intentions.
The prince ruffled Wei Fu's hair and said, "Fu'er, go to bed early after you've eaten your fill. You might not have time to rest on the road tomorrow."
Wei Fu nodded obediently.
The prince looked at Chen Nian and said, "The road ahead may be very dangerous. Why don't you two girls separate from us here? I will send someone to escort you."
Shen Xi naturally wanted to stay, but she didn't know anything and felt that staying would just be a burden, so she looked at Shen Nian.
This was the first time that the prince took the initiative to talk to Shen Nian. If he had not seen Wei Fu catching and beating ghosts before, and had not heard what Wei Fu said, Shen Nian would have had to show off and stay.
But now…
She said, "Thank you, Your Highness. However, Your Highness doesn't have many people around him, so there's no need to assign more to us. After we enter the city tomorrow, we will leave first and head south without stopping."
"Your Highness must be going to suppress the bandits and deal with General Mao. Even if the princess is powerful, she is only one person. It would be more appropriate for Your Highness to keep more people around."
The people sent here to inform General Mao cannot come back immediately due to the distance. As for the bandits in the city, Wei Fu can deal with them alone, even if they find them tomorrow.
They were safe until General Mao and the bandit army arrived.
Moreover, if the prince took the initiative to ask General Mao for help, General Mao would think that the prince had been deceived, and he might join forces with the bandits to put on a show. He would not necessarily confront the prince head-on. There was too much time in between.
But she knew that a man as brilliant as the prince would definitely not stand idly by if he encountered such a thing.
Especially when bandits join forces with military personnel, this is more dangerous than colluding with civil servants.
Her words caused Wei Fu, Shen Xi and the prince to look at her in surprise. The prince was not unaware of Shen Nian's ambition, but he immediately understood that he was frightened by what had just happened.
This is better, so he doesn't have to waste his breath.
Letting Shen Nian and Shen Xi leave first was to avoid involving innocent people.
The next day, Wei Fu and his men packed up their tents and passed by the post station with a carriage carrying a row of bandits tied to the back. When Wei Fu and his men were surrounded yesterday, some people at the post station saw it, but no one dared to come forward, so everyone was very ashamed when they saw Wei Fu and his men's carriage passing by.
Especially those officials at the post stations.
A few carriages passed by without stopping and encountered an ambush around noon.
However, the ambush guard had anticipated it early on and pinpointed the exact location of the ambush.
In order to make it easier for the guards to protect people, everyone gathered on Wei Fu's carriage. Shen Nian and Su Rui clearly saw Wei Fu and Shen Xi counting bamboo sticks and suddenly saying that there was an ambush in Niutougou.
Because of Wei Fu's prediction, the prince sent someone to take advantage of the situation and directly surrounded the other dozen or so bandits.
Shen Nian couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, their plan was not carried out. If it was carried out, Wei Fu would have known everything before they even started.
Their end will definitely be miserable.
Therefore, Chen Nian and Su Rui strangely thanked these bandits who suddenly appeared.
The bandits had no one to take the blame, so they were surrounded for no apparent reason. They were tied up with ropes with confused looks on their faces and forced to run behind the carriage.
It has to run, the carriage is running!
The bandits who were caught later ran away cursing, "Who the hell leaked the secret? If I find out, I'll beat him to death!"
Their curses drifted in the air, and it was only much later that they realized that they had no traitor.
It's just that I was discovered.
When the prefect of Liaocheng heard that the prince was coming, he hurried to greet him. But when he saw the thirty or so bandits following behind the prince, he felt that his official hat was in danger.
He was about to kneel down and pay his respects when he saw the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince stopped him in time: "Keep a low profile. Detain these people first and take us back to the government office."
The prefect of Liaocheng naturally followed the arrangements of the prince. His term of office was about to end, and he was looking forward to returning to the capital, so he couldn't let anything go wrong.
The prince and his companions followed the officials to the yamen. Wei Fu was saying goodbye to Chen Xi. She reminded him, "When you get to your maternal grandfather's place, wait for me to meet you up before you go to your maternal grandfather's house."
Chen Xi no longer knew how to thank Wei Fu. She understood what Wei Fu meant, that he wanted to help her.
Things that required a lot of effort for her to investigate, Wei Fu could reveal all the truth with just one look.
If possible, she would like to be Wei Fu's maid.
She said with tears in her eyes: "I know, you don't have to worry about me, you have to take good care of yourself here and protect yourself."
Because they were in a hurry to go to the yamen to arrange the next things, Wei Fu and Shen Xi did not say much. They had said most of what they needed to say on the way.
Wei Fu gave Shen Xi and Shen Nian a peace amulet each, and then followed the prince and others.
Shen Nian handed a handkerchief to the tearful Shen Xi: "Let's go first! When we get there, we'll rent a yard first. The princess is so powerful, she will definitely be fine."
She said this with a little more sincerity, and treated Chen Xi with a little more sincerity.
Fear of retribution.
The Liaocheng prefect had been busy greeting the Crown Prince, but when he saw Wei Fu running over, the Crown Prince holding his hand, he suddenly remembered something and smiled, "Oh, this is the little princess!"
"The little princess is truly beautiful and adorable, just like the boy sitting beside Guanyin."
Wei Fu said seriously, "Sir, you can't describe Fu'er like that."
"Fu'er is a Taoist priest."
"Avalokitesvara is a Buddhist. How can I, a Taoist priest, be a maid for a Buddhist?"
