Chapter 844(1/2)
Mengcheng.
The magistrate of Mengcheng led his yamen and the militia he organized in the city and successfully killed the White Lotus Sect team that was intended to persuade him to surrender.
More than half of the thieves were killed or injured.
All weapons, horses and mules they rode were seized.
Before.
When this group of demons from the White Lotus Sect burned, killed and plundered the villages below them, someone reported the letter to County Magistrate Ye.
But their city of Meng is too far from the defenders to get rescue immediately.
Although you can retreat to the city and wait for reinforcements.
But in this way, before the reinforcements arrived, the people outside the city would continue to be robbed by these rebels.
But County Magistrate Ye is not those who are powerless.
He decided to take the initiative.
The manpower was arranged to ambush the rebels who came to persuade them to surrender.
If he can do it, he is still ready to lead the combat power of his organization to help those people outside the city.
Now this battle can be said to be a complete victory.
While waiting for someone to clean the battlefield, the magistrate of Mengcheng Ye Kuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his hand holding the knife was shaking a little.
He bowed to Zhao Ce and said, "Thank you for your help from this young master and his men."
"I don't know which family you are from?"
"This time you have made great contributions to help me capture the demon of the White Lotus Sect in Mengcheng. As the magistrate, I will give you rewards on behalf of the court when this matter is pacified."
County Magistrate Ye was still breathing heavily when he spoke.
Zhao Ce has a good impression of this thin middle-aged civil servant.
A civil servant, with the militia below, attacked bravely and won victory.
It can be called courage and strategy.
Zhao Ce replied: "Mr. Ye is a good official, so there is no need to reward him."
"We are also here under the emperor's order, and we happened to be in trouble in Mengcheng."
"Come on the order of the emperor?"
Lord Ye quickly bowed again.
"I don't know if it was the imperial envoy who came here, but I was in a position to welcome him."
Zhao Ce waved his hand and helped him.
Although the magistrate of Mengcheng was just a very tough scholar, he was also a scholar after all.
This etiquette is enough.
But now, Zhao Ce and others are not at the right time to make too many etiquettes with him.
Zhao Ce told the Jinyiwei to help with the aftermath, and as Ye Kuan entered the city, he had already explained his purpose to him.
"Your Highness..."
Magistrate Ye, who had just faced the demon of the White Lotus Sect and could still kill the rebels calmly, felt a little trembling at this moment.
He shouted two words in disbelief, but was afraid that the news would be unfavorable to His Highness.
So he quickly lowered his voice and asked Zhao Ce: "My Lord means, Your Highness, I'm afraid he is now hiding his identity with the demon of the White Lotus Sect?"
"If so, what should I do if I have been detected?"
Zhao Ce nodded: "So it's not appropriate to make a statement."
"Sir, please make sure to make arrangements after you know this."
"You cannot leak the news in advance to prevent danger from happening to Your Highness."
County Magistrate Ye gritted his teeth and said, "The officials know."
"The officials have sent people to the city to ask for reinforcements. I believe the reinforcements will arrive soon."
"But before, what if the demons of the White Lotus Sect attacked and His Highness mingled among them?"
"The sword has no eyes, and may accidentally hurt..."
If something happened to the prince under his jurisdiction, he would not be the only one who suffered.
I'm afraid the people in the entire county will suffer.
Even if County Magistrate Ye is brave and resourceful, he can't help but worry for a while.
Zhao Ce thought about it and felt that there would be this danger.
Although Zhu Houzhao is a smart person, he has no eyes on the battlefield.
People from the White Lotus Sect are basically miscellaneous soldiers.
Some people may not even be able to hold the sickle in their hands.
When waving, accidentally shaking your hand may even accidentally hurt a friendly army.
In this case, they must not be allowed to fight.
When Zhao Ce thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little trouble.
"Your Highness, a child, has always loved to play."
"This won't work..."
"If he doesn't have enough fun when he comes out this time, he may have gone to another place."
The more Zhao Ce thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.
After all, Comrade Xiao Zhu in history is just a person who can't sit still.
Now that I am here, I may coax him back.
If he was not here, it would be difficult for others to persuade except for His Majesty himself.
But Zhu Houzhao has a bit of a tough temper.
If it does not follow his wishes, it is very likely to cause his rebellious psychology.
If it were someone else, Zhao Ce would be too lazy to think about these things with all his heart and strength.
But after Zhu Houzhao arrived in the capital, he always treated him very well.
He said that he came to pick him up twice when he was imprisoned.
His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince of the Empire can be so dedicated to him, a minister.
This is also worth Zhao Ce’s consideration for him so much.
“It’s not OK to not play…”
"With ensuring his safety, he can have fun this time, I believe he can keep his mind for a lot of time."
Zhao Ce thought about this and thought about it in his heart.
The most important thing is to let Zhu Houzhao come back without any harm...
The White Lotus Sect is basically all gangsters or ordinary farmers.
Most of them were bewitched by the magic of the White Lotus Sect, so they would blindly follow.
We have to use magic to defeat magic...
Zhao Ce looked at a flag fluttering in the wind on the other side of the city tower, and suddenly had an idea.
Have it!
"Mr. Ye."
Zhao Ce shouted.
Lord Ye was still thinking about what Zhao Ce said just now, and was still thinking about how to rescue Your Highness.
Hearing Zhao Ce call him, he quickly asked: "Sir, do you have a way?"
Zhao Ce nodded and said, "There is indeed a way."
"This method will probably ensure the safety of Your Highness."
"And if it is used well, we can probably get rid of all the dealers without a single soldier."
Lord Ye is a little unbelievable.
"Is there such a magical way?"
Zhao Ce said: "First ask someone to prepare something for me, the faster the better."
"By the way, are there any good painters in the city? You have to find someone who is obedient to you."
