Mengcheng.

The magistrate of Mengcheng led his yamen and the militia he organized in the city, and successfully killed the White Lotus detachment that came to persuade him to surrender.

A group of thieves killed more than half of them.

The weapons, horses and mules they were riding on were all seized.

before.

When this group of demons from the White Lotus Sect burned, killed, and looted the villages below them, someone reported the matter to Ye Zhi County.

But their city was too far away from the defenders, so they couldn't get rescue immediately.

Although you can retreat into the city and wait for reinforcements.

But in this way, before reinforcements arrive, the people outside the city will continue to be robbed by these rebels.

But Ye Zhixian is not one of those people who are powerless.

He decided to take the initiative.

Arranged manpower to ambush the rebels who came to persuade them to surrender.

If possible, he is still prepared to lead the fighting force of his organization to achieve success for the people outside the city.

Now this battle can be said to be a complete victory.

While waiting for someone to clean the battlefield, Ye Kuan, the magistrate of Mengcheng, wiped the sweat from his forehead and his hand holding the knife was shaking a little.

He cupped his hands in front of Zhao Ce and said, "Thank you so much for the help of this young master and his subordinates."

"I wonder which family you are from, young master?"

"This time you helped me in Mengcheng to capture the White Lotus Sect demon. I serve as the county magistrate. After the matter is settled, I will give you various rewards on behalf of the court."

When Ye Zhixian spoke, he was still breathing heavily.

Zhao Ce had a good impression of this thin, middle-aged civil servant.

A civil servant, with his militiamen, bravely attacked and won.

It can be said that he is brave and resourceful.

Zhao Ce replied: "Master Ye is a good official, so there is no need for rewards."

"We also came here on the emperor's order, and happened to encounter difficulties in Mengcheng."

"Come here on the emperor's order?"

Mr. Ye quickly bowed again.

"I didn't know it was the imperial envoy who came here, but I missed him from afar."

Zhao Ce waved his hand and gave him a weak support.

Although the magistrate of Mengcheng was a very tough scholar just now, he is still a scholar after all.

This whole body of etiquette is quite sufficient.

But now, Zhao Ce and others don't have time to do too much courtesy with him.

Zhao Ce asked the Jin Yiwei to help deal with the aftermath, and as Ye Kuan entered the city, he explained the purpose of his visit to him.

"Your Highness..."

Ye Zhixian, who had just faced the demons of the White Lotus Sect and was able to calmly kill the rebels, now felt that his hands and feet were shaking.

He shouted two words out loud, but he was also afraid that the news would be known to others, which would be detrimental to His Highness.

So he quickly lowered his voice and asked Zhao Ce: "Your Majesty, what you are saying is that His Highness, the Crown Prince, may be hiding incognito with the demons of the White Lotus Sect?"

"If so, what should we do if our identity is discovered?"

Zhao Ce nodded: "So this matter should not be made public."

"Sir, after you know this, please make proper arrangements."

"Don't let the news leak out in advance to prevent His Highness from being in danger."

Ye Zhixian gritted his teeth and said, "The official knows."

"Your Majesty has sent people to Fucheng to ask for reinforcements. I believe the reinforcements will arrive soon."

"But before that, what if those White Lotus Sect monsters attack and Your Highness is among them?"

"The sword has no eyes, so it may cause accidental injury..."

If something happens to the prince within his jurisdiction, he will not be the only one to suffer.

I'm afraid the people in the entire county will suffer.

No matter how brave and resourceful Ye Zhixian is, he can't help but feel worried for a while.

Zhao Ce thought about it and felt that there would be such a danger.

Although Zhu Houzhao is a smart man, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield.

People like these White Lotus Sect are basically a miscellaneous army.

Some people may not even be able to hold the sickle firmly in their hands.

When waving, if you accidentally shake your hand, you may even accidentally injure friendly troops.

Under such circumstances, they must not be allowed to fight.

Zhao Ce couldn't help but feel a little troubled when he thought of this.

"Your Highness's childlike nature has always been very playful."

"This won't work..."

"If he doesn't have enough fun this time, he might go somewhere else by then."

The more Zhao Ce thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

After all, Comrade Xiao Zhu in history was a person who could not sit still.

Now that I happen to be here, I might be able to coax him to go back.

If I were not here, it would be really difficult to persuade anyone except His Majesty himself.

But Zhu Houzhao has a really bad temper.

If you don't follow his wishes, it is very likely to cause him to have a rebellious mentality.

If it were anyone else, Zhao Ce would really be too lazy to think about this for them.

But after Zhu Houzhao arrived in the capital, he always treated him with great courtesy.

Let’s just say that he personally came to pick him up twice when he was imprisoned.

His Royal Highness, the crown prince of the empire, can be so considerate to a subordinate of his.

This is worthy of Zhao Ce thinking so much for him.

"It's impossible not to play..."

"Under the condition of ensuring his safety, let him have fun this time, and I think he will be able to relax for a long time."

Zhao Ce thought this and thought about it in his heart.

The most important thing is to let Zhu Houzhao come back unscathed...

The people in the White Lotus Sect are basically hooligans or ordinary farmers.

Most of them were bewitched by the sorcery of the White Lotus Sect, so they followed blindly.

To defeat witchcraft with witchcraft...

Zhao Ce looked at a flag fluttering in the wind on the other side of the tower, and suddenly an idea came to him.

Got it!

"Master Ye."

Zhao Ce shouted.

Master Ye is still thinking about what Zhao Ce said just now, and still thinking about how to rescue His Highness properly.

When he heard Zhao Ce calling him, he quickly asked: "Sir, do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Ce nodded and said: "There is indeed a way."

"This method can probably ensure the safety of His Highness."

"And if we use them well, we can probably get rid of all those traffickers without spending a single soldier."

Lord Ye didn't believe it.

"Is there really such a magical way?"

Zhao Ce said: "Let someone prepare things for me first, the sooner the better."

"By the way, are there any good painters in the city? I need to find one who is quick and obedient."
