Long before going to Lingde to excavate the emperor's tomb, Xie Zhong designated Quanshu County as a transit place.
He walked slowly and leisurely down the mountain, walked around as usual after entering the village, and then entered a small umbrella shop.
The craftsman handed the umbrella to him, and Xie Zhong opened it after returning. There were two letters hidden inside, one from Guzhou and one from Hengxiang, both signed thirteen days ago.
It was a pair of eyes he sent to Hengxiang. He said that more and more people were going to Hengxiang and that construction was going on every day in the suburbs of the city.
Xie Zhong was unhappy after reading it. He looked at another letter and frowned, becoming even more unhappy.
The letter stated that Qian Fengrong's recovery from his injuries was astonishing, and he soon became unsatisfied with his seclusion and wandered around Huaxiang again.
The night before the letter was sent, he beat a girl half to death because he was dissatisfied with her "service". Finally, he simply strangled the girl's throat and told her to give her a good time.
Fortunately, the madam did not dare to speak out about this matter.
Xie Zhong secretly thought that something was wrong and he didn't dare to say it publicly. It was not a "good" thing.
The more the other party swallowed his anger, the more arrogant Qian Fengrong became.
And once he becomes arrogant...
Xie Zhong crumpled up the letter paper and really wanted to grow wings and fly to Guzhou to see what the situation was like now.
It has been thirteen days since the letter was signed.
Guzhou is not far from Songzhou and also very close to Huazhou and Hejing.
On the 13th, enough pairs of eyes were staring at him...
Xie Qiniang knocked on the door: "Godfather?"
Xie Zhong looked over and said, "Come in."
Xie Qiniang was holding a bowl of just the right soup in her hand. She came over and saw the envelope in Xie Zhong's hand. She was overjoyed: "I have a letter."
"It's not a good thing," Xie Zhong said, "Maybe, we have to set off."
"Now? But godfather, your health is not fully recovered yet."
"It doesn't matter, you go and make preparations, then buy an ox cart and hire a driver. We'll leave in the afternoon."
Xie Qiniang was worried: "Godfather, has something happened?"
Xie Zhong said: "Go and prepare."
It may not be that something has really happened, but letting him sit here and wait for information will not help his current condition. On the contrary, it will make his heart weak and spleen weak due to confusion and anxiety.
In Guzhou, in addition to one Qian Fengrong, there were also gold and silver treasures that he obtained after spending half a year digging the tombs of dozens of princes, generals and ministers.
If people and money are lost...
Xie Zhong's complexion turned bad, and the coughing sound that had stopped for a while suddenly came out of his throat again. He coughed until his face turned red, and he leaned against the desk and coughed wildly.

Nie Huimo stayed at the gathering place of inns in the south of Yushuiyuan Town where passers-by could rest. Nie Huimo never left.
Three days have passed since Qian Fengrong was captured, but Shen Lie and his men have not left Yushuiyuan Town, and neither has Nie Huimo.
Three days were enough time for Yun Bozhong to mobilize his troops and surround Yushuiyuan Town. Nie Huimo was curious as to why Shen Lie didn't leave yet.
The personnel sent came back every day to report that Shen Lie had never left the inn where he stayed in the city.
Shen Lie's men were running around in a hurry.
Also, Qian Fengrong is not dead yet.
Ling Yang listened from the sidelines and looked at Nie Huimo: "It seems that Shen Lie really doesn't want Qian Fengrong to die easily."
Seeing Nie Hui's dark eyes thoughtful, Ling Yang was curious: "General, what are you thinking about?"
Nie Huimo said: "Shen Lie's purpose."
"Shen Lie's purpose? Isn't that to make Qian Fengrong's death miserable?"
Nie Huimo shook his head and said nothing.
He looked out the window and saw Yushuiyuan Town at the end of the distant road.
He always felt that Shen Lie had a deeper intention, but he couldn't guess it.
"General!" Another subordinate's voice sounded from outside.
After entering the house, his men immediately knelt down: "General, half an hour ago, Yu Zhenyao, the general of Yun Bozhong's right ambush army, arrived at Yushuiyuan Town. As soon as he arrived, he went to the inn where Shen Lie was staying! Rumor has it that Shen Lie came out to greet him in person. , but that person I saw was not Shen Lie!"
Nie Huimo raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it Shen Lie?"
"Well, the man who came out looked like the counselor who stood beside him before. His surname seems to be Liang, but everyone from top to bottom calls him General."
Everyone in the room looked towards Nie Huimo.
Nie Huimo's eyebrows became more solemn: "Shen Lie, maybe he is no longer in Yushuiyuan Town."
Ling Yang murmured curiously: "But what is his purpose? To lure the tiger away from the mountain? To attack the east and the west? To deliberately use it to dazzle and attract the attention of the world? If so, what is he really trying to do?"
After a long while, Nie Huimo said slowly: "Maybe it's Songzhou."
"Going to Songzhou?"
"Yes, why didn't I think of it?" Nie Huimo suddenly felt annoyed, "There was only Qian Fengrong in Guzhou, and Xie Zhong did not show up. According to Xie Zhong's previous route in Lingde, he wanted to go from Daping to Guzhou. The closest and safest road is Songzhou."
"Yes, General, that's definitely the case. Shen Lie must have gone to find Xie Zhong! Then we..."
Nie Huimo said in a deep voice: "Leave immediately and set off for Songzhou!"
Qian Fengrong lost to Shen Lie. If he could catch Xie Zhong, he could win the game!
At the same time, in the elegant and beautiful inn room of Yushuiyuan Town, Yun Bozhong's most defeated army, General Zhenyao, stood up from his position in surprise: "General Shen is saying, give money, money will be honored Give it to me?"
Liang Jun smiled and said: "No, no, General Yu, I am not sending you as a gift, but I am using your hands to kill him."
"Why is this? General Shen can kill him himself."
"Just take it as a gift? It's not just money, but also a fortune. I think the general will also be interested in it."
"Wealth? Tell me."
Liang Jun stood up and leaned over, whispering into Yu Zhenyao's ear.
Yu Zhenyao's eyes suddenly widened: "I'll go! Is this, is this serious?"
"How can we joke about such a big thing?"
Yu Zhenyao was speechless. After a long time, he asked suspiciously: "But, why? General Shen, you give people and gifts for no reason. What are you... trying to do?"
Liang Jun smiled: "Not only Qian Fengrong and the wealth, we also want to give you a great military merit, General."
With that said, he leaned over again and whispered in Yu Zhenyao's ear.
Yu Zhenyao's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened, and he couldn't take his eyes away.
All the men who came with him looked at him.
"It's easy to say!!" Yu Zhenyao said, "It's great! Just follow what the general said!"
Liang Jun smiled and said: "Then, I hope we can have a win-win situation."
The door of the box opened from the outside, and people came in with delicious food and wine. The innkeeper followed beside him and personally came to entertain the guests.
There was a lavish banquet, and people drank freely during the banquet. When night fell, Yu Zhenyao and others came out drunk.
After saying goodbye to Liang Jun and others, Yu Zhenyao burped and got into the carriage.
Several of his staff also drank, but not much.
One person was still awake and asked: "General, how many times did General Shen whisper in your ear? What did he say?"
Yu Zhenyao waved his hand: "Let's wait until this general sobers up."
"But general, do you really want to cooperate with him?"
"That's Shen Lie!" Yu Zhenyao shouted dissatisfied, "He thinks highly of me, and I can't ask for anything more!"
"But he... is handsome, but he's not so handsome as to be stunning!"
"Jun! So handsome!" Yu Zhenyao muttered as he was about to fall asleep, giving a thumbs up, "The most handsome man in the world!"
How could a rich man who just raised his hand and gave him so much money not be stunning?
Whoever gives him money is his father and the most beautiful man in the world!
