Seeing Ye Feian's expression, Zhao Wei chuckled and said, "Of course, I am just a mere governor. I am not as valuable as you, your highness. That's why His Majesty arranged for this lowly general to assist His Highness in exterminating the bandits. "

Zhao Wei's reaction was within his expectations. Originally, his purpose of coming here was to save others, and as for exterminating bandits, it was only an excuse. Besides, he had also heard from Zhang Long and the others that most of the bandits in Shan Yang had died down. Only some stubborn people refused to surrender.

These people gave Ye Feian a headache, and among the people that Zhao Wei brought, there were some bandits that had previously welcomed him. These bandits were mostly old friends of Shan Yang bandits. Therefore, the purpose of being brought here by Zhao Wei was to placate them and minimize the number of casualties.

After the two exchanged greetings, Zhao Wei did not disturb Ye Feian and left Qingzhou City with his men, returning to the camp.

Meanwhile, Ye Feian was preparing to have lunch. Even after the old steward was frightened last night, he still felt a lingering fear. Ye Feian deliberately let the old servant, who had watched him grow up, rest for a few days. At this moment, Luo Lingxiao was the one who was taking care of the family's affairs. Ye Feian looked at this graceful woman calling her servant to do some work. For some reason, he felt a little rueful in his heart.

And then, this inexplicable thought was replaced by the confusion in front of him.

Ever since he saw Zhao Wei last night, Endless Night had been thinking about what those people he caught were here for. There was not only the commander of Nightingale's personal guards among them, but also a warrior of the barbarian race.

They had secretly infiltrated their own fiefdom and left in secret. During this period of time, the soldiers under them had discovered their identities and silenced them. Their methods were sinister and their actions were secretive. Ye Feian could not fathom all of this.

In the end, he could only extrapolate conclusions from his knowledge of Nighteyes. Could all of this be the result of Nightingale's investigation of his strength in the various lands of the Mountains and Seas? Or was he testing his loyalty to the imperial court?

"Send the order that none of the elite members of the Duke's Mansion are to participate in this operation. Pick out all the veterans and follow me to exterminate the bandits tomorrow."

Ye Feian thought it over and over again before deciding to use the safest method to deal with this operation. He knew that if Zhao Wei came here to exterminate the bandits, he definitely wouldn't fail. Furthermore, this definitely wasn't his main goal.

As a result, he had sent out a few veterans to conceal his strength, and had shown weakness to the imperial government and to Ye Lianhe. He wanted to let Nightingale know that he didn't have the ambition to rebel.

That afternoon, Endless Night brought the three thousand veterans to meet up with Zhao Wei at the camp outside the city.

When Zhao Wei saw Ye Feian, these three thousand elderly, weak, and handicapped people, he did not say anything. He also knew that Ye Feian would not reveal his trump card. And the three thousand elite soldiers he saw last night could not possibly be all of Ye Feian's possessions.

After gathering their troops, everyone set off. This time, Zhao Wei had used the same method as before to cut off the bandits' connection with the outside world by bribing the villagers at the foot of the mountain, then by disintegrating the bandits' internal organs.

In the end, in less than two months, all the bandits of the sixteen states were eventually wiped out.

When Zhao Wei left, he even took some of the bandits with him. This kind of behavior angered Ye Feian, but he could only gnash his teeth as he watched Ye Feian walk away, not daring to do anything to him. After all, when he was attacking the bandits' mountain stronghold, Zhao Wei also used his siege equipment.

If he challenged him, at that time, he would come to attack the Azure Province and he would not be able to defend the Azure Province!

In this side chamber, Zhao Wei had solved the problem of bandits in Shanyang District, and Zhang Long and the others had already recovered from their injuries. Xue Kaishan still insisted on returning to the prairie. According to him, he was now a member of the Kurman tribe. That was why the grassland was his home.

After Xiaoqing returned to the palace, she knelt down in front of Luo Lingwei's door. After this revenge, Xiaoqing seemed to have become a completely different person, as she spoke a lot less and less. Luo Lingwei was not used to this. She still treated Xiaoqing as before, but there was no longer any response from Xiaoqing.

Luo Lingwei knew that this girl could be considered to have grown up. With a sigh in his heart, he could not say anything else.

On the contrary, it was Ye Lianhe who was very curious about the experiences of this trip. He had asked Luo Lingwei and the others to report everything he had seen and heard during this trip to Shan Yang, and had recorded them one by one.

After recording all of this, Ye Lianhe did not meet up with Luo Lingwei in private. Instead, he concentrated on studying the intelligence reports sent back by everyone and analyzed the situation of the sixteen states of the Mountain Sun Sect.

But these past few days, Luo Lingwei had been suffering a lot. She saw Xiaoqing's evasive eyes, and it was obvious that she was no longer the same as before. She began to slowly distance herself from her.

This caused Luo Lingwei to feel very pained. Although she knew that this was because Xiaoqing still felt guilty towards her, she was still unable to accept it. Even Little White could not stand such a depressing atmosphere. He tried to persuade Little Green a few times, but to no avail. It was as if Little Green was a completely different person.

That night, Luo Lingwei was unable to bear the awkward atmosphere anymore. She then instructed Little Blue and Little White to accompany her in the garden to drink.

This time, Xiaoqing did not sit down to drink with him as usual, but stood to the side to serve him and Whitey.

At this time, Luo Lingwei drank three cups in a row. She finally could not resist and threw the cup on the ground with a "pa" sound. Why are you trying to be so different? You and I are a family! "

Luo Lingwei's voice was already a bit hoarse, but when Xiaoqing heard this, her eyes filled with tears. At this moment, Whitey was hugging the two of them.

"Xiaoqing, Sis Weiwei, no matter what, we are good sisters." Xiaoqing, if you really think that you owe Sister Weiwei, then don't be so distant. Sister Weiwei treats us like her own sister.

"Wei …" "Sis Weiwei, I was wrong." At this time, Xiaoqing suddenly hugged Luo Lingwei and Whitey and sobbed, "This time …" I'll go... Revenge, I thought... I... No more... I won't be able to come back. "

When Luo Lingwei heard this, she felt her heart ache. She knew how much this foolish girl had made up her mind when she went alone on the road. After all, it was extremely likely that she would not be able to return this time.

But even so, the silly girl had chosen to go forward, to draw a conclusion to her own fear and to her past.
