Chen Yongnian immediately replied, "The Lianshan bandits are a group of mountain bandits living in Lianshan, in the northern part of Yunhe County. Every year at the end of the year, the bandits come down the mountain to burn, kill, and plunder."
He had heard Coach Xue mention this situation during this period.
In previous years, bandits would only come down from the mountains at the end of the year, but in the past two years, when everyone has not harvested a single grain, bandits have come down from the mountains more often, and the people in the nearby villages are living in misery.
Lianshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even though the imperial court sent people to suppress the bandits, they failed to eliminate them and instead made them even more violent.
Lianhua Village was far from Lianshan, so it was never persecuted. Hefeng Town and Baizhi Town were neither too far nor too close to Lianshan, but they were two relatively well-developed towns, and they were bound to become targets for bandits.

Xie Xing was somewhat disappointed with Wan Qiqi's reaction, then looked at Chen Yongnian, "I've been communicating with your master. We'll be gathering martial arts figures from the county to cooperate with the government in suppressing the bandits in Lianshan. Would you be willing to join us?"
Chen Yongnian immediately replied, "I will definitely go with you!"
If the bandits come down the mountain, then his wife and the rest of the Chen family will not have a peaceful life. He cannot let the days that have just gotten better become even more difficult than before.
Besides, he was a member of the military officers; how could he not go when his master was involved!
Xie Xing knew Chen Yongnian would agree, but he could see that Wan Qiqi was the head of the household. If she didn't agree, Chen Yongnian would be in trouble.
Adding Chen Yongnian alone is of little use, but if the bandit suppression is successful, it will be a meritorious achievement and will greatly benefit future development.
Wan Qiqi said calmly, "Assist the government? Wouldn't all the credit go to the government?"
