"Hello, Uncle Hu."

"Zhongheng looks much younger than me now, right?" Hu Churen laughed. "Back then, we were both appointed officials in the same year. He was stationed at a checkpoint, while I went to Jiangzhou, where the people are tough... It's been 27 years now."

Unlike Wang Zhongheng who was in the seventh level of the outer scene, the governor in front of him was just an ordinary person with a relatively healthy body.

The old man was able to climb to where he is today thanks to his achievements in local politics: repairing dams, reducing taxes, encouraging water transport, and leading the people through floods year after year...

If there was anything he did wrong, it was that he failed to control the Dajiang Gang. But that wasn't his fault either.

"Uncle, my father misses you all the time."

"Really?" Hu Churen's eyes were blank for a while, then he smiled and said, "It's a pity that we will never meet again."

"Uncle, I am here for this very reason," Wang Wenxuan bowed. "You are carrying the blood letter of the people's wishes. There will surely be many people setting ambushes on the way to the capital. It is extremely dangerous."

"You want me to give it to you?"

"The Yang Party will never let you enter the capital easily. If you trust me——" "Then I will just go back home?!"

The old man's two white eyebrows stood up, and he looked furious: "Due to the connivance of the court, Jiangzhou has been in chaos with the demons for a long time. I have been maneuvering between the sects and have managed to maintain it.

As a result, the higher-ups suddenly announced that they wanted to build a ferry, which would cut off the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people living there!

What dangers are you talking about? Even if I die, I will die in the capital of the gods and in front of the emperor!"

"I understand what you mean," Wang Wenxuan's face became serious, "but in fact, you will be ambushed and killed halfway through the journey. You and your soldiers will be annihilated. This petition will never be delivered to the palace!"

Upon hearing this, a middle-aged general came quickly with a sword on his waist and said, "If any villain dares to attack the governor, I will protect Lord Hu even if I risk my life!"

"Half-step exterior?" Wang Wenxuan glanced at him and shook his head slightly, "You think too little of Yang Dang. What about the other masters?"

"They are all left in Jiangzhou to suppress it. Because of the grain transport issue, the Dajiang Gang has started to cause chaos again..."

"Although there is nothing we can do about it, you guys really underestimated the enemy."

Hearing this, and seeing that he was quite arrogant, the middle-aged general immediately bowed and said, "In that case, may Ba Dao teach me something?"

"...Whatever."

A sigh has not yet fallen.

The opponent came at him with a straight sword. Before the middle-aged general could even try to block, the sword had already taken the shape of a mountain and fell down with a force of a thousand pounds!

when! !

The sword hit the body of the knife, and the force was released and then retracted. The general was blasted backwards, and layers of air waves exploded.

If he hadn't stopped in time, the blow would have cut him in half along with the knife.

“Outside, outside?!” Seeing this, the middle-aged general struggled to get up, and was overjoyed. “In this case, Ba Dao will go with us, and we will be safe!”

"Absolutely not! I have a plan. Sir Hu will lend me a few soldiers to ensure your safe arrival."

Chapter 356 The troops are divided into two groups

"To put it simply, when Ba Dao meets Hu Churen, he will propose one and only one solution, which is to split the troops into two groups."

Yang Mansion.

This is a slightly remote wing of the inner house. The interior decoration is simple and plain, and the tables, chairs and utensils are all ordinary items, with rare sandalwood carvings. If it weren't for the few servants serving in front of and behind the door, it would be no different from the firewood room in the courtyard.

There was a large map hanging on the wall opposite the door. Yang Tianxiu made a mark on it, turned around and said with a smile: "What do you think, brother?"

"Divide the troops?" Yang Jing repeated.

He was the owner of this simple room, the true eldest son of the Hedong Yang family, the one who humbled himself to marry into the Song family.

However, he was a reserved person, and usually liked elegant things such as poetry, songs, music, chess, etc. Naturally, his reputation was far inferior to that of the "Little Tai Fu" of the Honorary Capital.

As a result, when his younger brother came back from the palace that day, he suddenly came to him to discuss matters.

"Brother, you don't believe it?" Yang Tianxiu put the pen on the table and laughed, "If we follow the common thinking, if we want to send the petition to the capital safely, we only need to use Hu Churen as bait and divide the ambush into two.

With the body of Tyrant Blade, the chance of reaching the destination is almost over 80%. "

Yang Jing said, "That's right. But Wang Wenxuan is extremely arrogant and very loyal. He thought that if Governor Hu wanted to save him, he would also send the blood letter, so he must have gone all the way alone with this item in his pocket."

"Exactly!"

As he spoke, Yang Tianxiu drew two lines on the map. "Based on their location, there are two ways to get to the gods. One is through the dense forest, which is dangerous and prone to ambush, but it saves 50 miles; the other is along the main road, which is open but requires a detour.

The former was Ba Dao, who wanted to rush to the capital of gods to seek help as soon as possible. The latter was Hu Chu Ren, because the old man could not stand the bumpy ride.

"Yes, I agree."

"In that case, I will let that group of flower monks ambush Ba Dao and kill him. What do you think, brother?" Yang Tianxiu looked over as if seeking advice.

"Okay, but you still need to consider a variable," Yang Jing said solemnly, his expression unchanged, "If we do this in such a high-profile manner, Fang Xingyun will definitely notice it and will definitely try to stop us."

"...yes,"

After looking at him for a while as if examining him, Yang Tianxiu looked away and rubbed his brows: “I didn’t expect this dog to become so difficult to deal with after returning from outside.

Under the premise that everyone in the city and outside is being monitored, the two chess pieces in his hand can be put to great use..."

Fang Qingxiao, who is in harmony with nature, is suspected to be a shadow servant who is in harmony with nature.

Even after so many years of operating in the Divine Capital, Yang Tianxiu still does not have such useful masters under his command: two people who will not go to the outdoor locations, will not upset the nerves of the big shots, and have extremely outstanding combat capabilities.

"What if we send Li Wuji to stop them?" Seeing his hesitation, Yang Jing asked tentatively.

"What do you think, brother?"

"The fourth level of the exterior scene is more than enough to stop these two people. And if you really want to force him to take action, just kill these two people to avoid more trouble."

Yang Jing made a palm-knife gesture, with a sinister look on his face.

“Okay!” As if he had finally made up his mind, Yang Tianxiu gritted his teeth, his face full of anger: “Let’s do it this way, let everyone in the God City know what the consequences are of opposing me!”

He flicked his sleeves and walked out.

After taking a few steps, Yang Tianxiu suddenly turned his head and looked inside the house. His face was expressionless and his eyes gradually became cold.

Yang Jing has a problem.

~~

The night was densely covered on the eaves of the yamen, and under the tiles hung a few lanterns swaying in the wind.

Soon, a lamp was lit in the inner hall, and sitting in the main seat was Li Wuji, who was urgently called from home by his subordinates.

He looked at the seemingly respectful young man in front of him, and he felt a little impatient. He suppressed his anger and said, "What is the purpose of Fang Zhubu reporting this at night? Don't you know that it's time to go to bed now?!"

Good things were ruined twice in a row, and he couldn't help but complain.

"Master Li, I know, but now is definitely not the time to sleep." Fang Xiwen cupped his hands, "When I was checking the account books at Master Liu Zhuoliu's house, I found something incredible——" "You're never done!!"

He slammed the table and shouted, "You bastard, didn't you say the other day that you had even prepared the case file? Why are you changing your mind now?"

"Although it has been drafted, I have not submitted it yet. It can still be revised now," Fang Xiwen said lightly, handing over a roll of official documents, "Please take a look, sir."

So Li Wuji reached out to take the case file, glanced at it roughly, and saw a few blue veins on his forehead.

Clearing his throat, Fang Xiwen said, "According to Jin law, after confiscating Lord Liu Zhuoliu's property, it must all be returned to the national treasury;

But just a few days ago, some of them were transferred to the names of several monks in Yueyin Temple outside the city.

There is no one else who can do this except you, the judge, right?"

Hearing this, the veins on his forehead jumped a few times, "...What do you think?"

"Please assign some people to me, so that I can leave the city overnight and investigate those people thoroughly."

Even this has been exposed. This brat is really well-informed... Li Wuji's face changed slightly, and he forced a smile and said, "It's already late at night, why are you so anxious?"

"If we don't hurry up, the stolen money might have been squandered by them," Fang Xiwen showed another document, "Besides, I have the signature of Li Shenbo agreeing to investigate the case.

Logically speaking, as a continuation of the Liu Zhuo case, it is legal to use this to mobilize troops."

"That's enough! I don't know what you are planning, you just want some help so that you can get involved in Jiangzhou's affairs!"

Seeing that half of the things on the table were swept to the ground by him, Fang Xiwen laughed, "The detective is wise."

"...It's really like a dog trying to catch a rat." After quickly signing the case file, Li Wuji threw it at his feet, "Get lost. As for where the stolen money went, I will personally hunt it down, so don't worry about it."

"Yes, I obey."

Picking up the case file, Fang Xiwen left with a smile.

With this signature, he could mobilize most of the elite troops under the Six Gates to rescue people; and the reason why Li Wuji agreed was because he had the evidence -

This old guy has an affair with the Maitreya followers in Yueyin Temple outside the city.

I received news that Li Wuji took in several new concubines a few days ago. It is said that all of them are born with charming bodies and fragrant skin. It is obvious that he bought them with the money he embezzled from other families.

After what happened, he dared not interfere in Jiangzhou's affairs for the time being... In exchange, Fang Xiwen would not be able to use this matter to threaten him in the future.

~~

With Li Wuji's signature and his own spy seal, Fang Xiwen borrowed two nine-orifice tiger and leopard constables and a group of elite soldiers from the Shendu Yamen.

As for the two silver-level captains guarding the capital, they knew that this matter involved a lot of things, so they sent him off with a few sets of Tai Chi:

"I'd like to say a word to Fang Zhubu: Don't meddle in other people's affairs if you are not in their position. Isn't it a bit too lenient to act like this?"

"Oh, thank you for your advice."

Without wasting any more words, Fang Xiwen went straight back to the mansion and brought out another group of Fang family guards.

By this time, it was already late at night, and a group of people carrying lanterns and torches looked very impressive walking on the street.

"Third brother! Take me with you, I can definitely help!" Before leaving, Fang Tinghao grabbed his sleeve and begged at the door to go too.

"Do you know what I'm going to do? Well, you stay at home obediently, or some thugs might come to visit," Fang Xiwen patted his shoulder, "When I'm not here, the house will all depend on you."

"Well, go ahead, Third Brother!"

"...left."

After bringing the imperial mount over, Fang Xiwen jumped on the horse, waved his arm, and led hundreds of people to gallop through Tianjie in a mighty procession.

The sound of countless horse hooves hitting the bluestone slabs sounded like drums.

~~

After leaving the city, the group rushed towards Sanshou Mountain.
