Kozhifu is very straightforward, so straightforward that surprises Bai Yan.
Bai Yan picked up the drink, took a sip, and asked, "Master Magistrate, I really don't understand what you mean."
"Young Master Bai is a smart man, so he just pretends not to understand. How about this? I have official duties today and am going to help the Marquis of Zhenbei capture the bandits. How about Young Master Bai come with me?" Gao Zhifu invited.
Bai Yan took a look at the Li family and his son, and found that the Li family and his son were not surprised at all. He became more and more sure that the Li family and his son were insiders.
He pondered for a moment and asked:
"I wonder if Kozhifu is prepared to arrest the bandits?"
"The bandits are fierce, and I am a weak scholar, so I will naturally make more preparations." Ko Prefect shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Secretly, No. 780 soldiers came out. The two leaders were both half-step warriors, one was as good as ten.
Bai Yan took a closer look and found that there were no warriors among them, which was undoubtedly good news.
"The prefect is well-trained in military training, and Bai Yan admires him." Bai Yan complimented.
"Although they are all ordinary people, they can still deal with a warrior if they work together. Master Bai, shall we go now?" Kozhifu said with a smile.
"Okay!" Bai Yan responded.
Seeing that Bai Yan agreed, Gaozhifu no longer delayed, and set off with dozens of soldiers.
The Li family's father and son also followed and did not leave.
The group of people quietly left the city and headed south.
"Where are the Black Shark Gang people over here?" Bai Yan asked, looking around.
"Master Bai doesn't know something. Although the Black Shark Gang is a bandit on the water, their lair is in the mountains."
Kozhifu pointed to the high mountain in front and said: "That is Black Mountain, the home of the Black Shark Gang. The gold and silver they obtained and the beauties they snatched will be placed on the mountain."
Bai Yan nodded, praising the Black Shark Gang's brilliance.
Hidden in the mountains, most people would never think of it.
Moreover, the surrounding mountains are continuous, making it easier to hide and run away.
Suddenly, he saw a place nearby with bright lights.
"Master Prefect, where is that place?"
"They are a team from Zhen Hai, responsible for wiping out the Black Shark Gang. However, they have never been able to achieve success. I am preparing to report to the court to disband this army." Gao Zhifu told the truth.
"Dismiss this army? Isn't this the Gao family's army?" Bai Yan asked.
Gao Zhifu shook his head: "My Gao family's hands are not that long. Zhen Haijun is affiliated with the imperial court, and our local government cannot control it."
Bai Yan understood that the emperor was still afraid of the Gao family, so he arranged the army.
Even if the Gao family controls the government, they can't make any trouble as long as they don't control the army.
He suddenly thought and suggested: "Since we are going to destroy the Black Shark Gang, why not invite them to join us so that we can make great achievements."
"Zhenbei Hou is raiding the Black Shark Gang. If we bring troops, I'm afraid the Black Shark Gang will be alerted. I have thought about inviting them together before. But the target is too big, and the Black Shark Gang is always being watched.
Stay over there. Once the action is taken, the Black Shark Gang will definitely know it as soon as possible." Ko Prefecture refused.
"At this moment, Lord Marquis has succeeded in the sneak attack. Are you still worried about alerting the enemy? With them, we can catch a few more bandits. Gao Zhifu, why don't we go for a walk. Otherwise, we will make a contribution to ourselves, but we will be injured.
So peaceful."
After saying that, Bai Yan did not give Gaozhifu a chance to refuse, and rode towards the camp on horseback.
Kozhifu smiled and did not stop him.
"Sir, General Mu has always been at odds with you. If I take them with me, I'm afraid something will happen." Li Maotai was very worried.
"What are you afraid of? General Mu is a smart man and knows what to do. What's more, the Marquis of Zhenbei is dead. Who will care if General Mu dies?" Gao Zhifu said indifferently.
Li Maotai and Li Tianchen looked at each other and saw the wonder in each other's eyes.
They understood that the Gao family not only wanted to get rid of Zhenbei Hou, but also wanted to kill General Mu, who was sent by the emperor himself.
But think about it, how can a mere General Mu compare with Qing Gong?
When Bai Yan arrived at the military camp, he directly revealed his identity without being embarrassed. The sentry immediately went in to report.
Soon, a middle-aged general with a scar on his face appeared.
This person is the partial general of Zhen Haijun, Mu Xiongying.
"Sir Viscount, why are you here late at night?" General Mu was wearing armor and spoke loudly.
"Warrior? Another warrior?"
Bai Yan looked at General Mu and smiled bitterly in his heart.
This is already his third warrior since entering Jeju City.
It seems that this person is here to control the Gao family, but in terms of strength, he should be a low-level warrior, similar to him.
Bai Yan pretended not to know and said with a smile: "The general is wearing his armor late at night. It seems he is already making preparations."
"The Marquis of Zhenbei captured and killed Black Shark, and the news spread throughout Jeju City. I think, Marquis of Zhenbei will wipe out the Black Shark Gang in one fell swoop. I, the general, have been fully armed, just waiting for the order from the Marquis." General Mu said in a deep voice.
"The Marquis has launched a sneak attack on the Black Shark Gang and needs General Mu's help. Please don't refuse, General."
Bai Yan dismounted and saluted General Mu.
"Your Majesty the Viscount is very polite, but how can I believe it? Do you have a token from the Marquis?" General Mu asked.
"General, be careful. I don't have the Marquis's token on me, but Gao Zhifu came with me, and he also brought his soldiers. Besides, I still have this on me."
Bai Yan took out the imperial edict.
"Your Majesty's will?"
General Mu was shocked and was about to kneel down, but Bai Yan hurriedly stopped him.
"General, this is a secret order, please keep it secret."
General Mu's bent body straightened up instantly, and his expression recovered instantly.
All these changes are reflected in Bai Yan's eyes, making Bai Yan even more certain. This General Mu is a member of Emperor Ming and should be on his side tonight.
With more warriors, there is an additional chance of victory.
"Everything is subject to Master Bai's advice, but how come Master Bai is involved with the High Prefecture?"
"What? Is there anything wrong?" Bai Yan asked tentatively.
"I suspect that the Black Shark Gang is supported by the Gao family behind the scenes, and I was caught in a trap. I even suspect..."
When General Mu saw Gao Zhifu coming, he swallowed back half of what he said and greeted Gao Zhifu.
The two chatted for a while, and then General Mu gathered his soldiers.
Soon, more than a hundred soldiers formed a formation, and the appearance of these soldiers shocked Bai Yan again.
All of these soldiers are actually martial arts practitioners, although they have not yet reached the level of warriors.
But the people close to the warriors actually occupied most of them.
If these people are let out, I am afraid only Qianshi can resist them.
Three or two warriors can only be abused.
Also shocked was Gao Zhifu, whose expression changed and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
