Long Fei sipped his tea and said to Governor Zhang Yannian, "Governor, please speak frankly. Our destination is Chang'an, and if there's nothing else, we're likely to depart tomorrow."
Zhang Yannian smiled and replied, "Master is indeed straightforward, so I will be too. You probably already know that the backers of the water bandits who occupy the river are none other than our Yuzhou's top sect, the Songshan Sect. They dare not openly defy the official residence, but they continue to support new water bandits to do their bidding. We have launched many campaigns to eliminate the bandits and spent a great deal of money to no avail. With Master's arrival, the chief bandit was killed directly. I was wondering, could you lend a hand and help us eradicate the bandit nuisance completely?"
Long Fei put down the teacup and laughed, having guessed his intention.
