As a result, Zhao Si was fined.

Not only him, but also the guards accompanying him, none of them ran away.

One or two of them actually left their posts without permission.

All deserve punishment.

After punishing them, Chu Ze turned around angrily and forgot to rest.

At dawn the next day, they went straight to Fengchun Mountain.

Fengchun Mountain is not far outside Fengchun City. It only takes half an hour to walk, and even closer by car.

After entering the mountain, Chu Ze suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know where exactly Li Xing got the piece of periclase. He only knew that it was a ravine.

But Fengchun Mountain is so big, even if he finds a ravine, he can still find it for half a year.

It seems that we need to find a familiar guide.

The first thing Chu Ze thought of was Ya'er.

But thinking that the other party is a girl, what's going on with a group of grown men following them into the mountains and forests?

Chu Ze shook his head and planned to find someone else to lead the way.

But as they walked from the mountain to the bottom, there was not even a single person on the huge Fengchun Mountain.

Chu Ze was deeply suspicious. Don't everyone here know the saying "the one who relies on someone depends on one's support?"
Forget it, let’s look for Ya’er.

Chu Ze asked Zhao Si to invite Ya'er, while he continued to walk around the area to see if he could step on dog poop and get lucky.

Facts have proven that luck is really fickle.

Until Zhao Si invited Ya'er over, Chu Ze didn't find out the reason.

Ya'er, on the other hand, looked excited.

"Ahem, Ya'er, you have lived here all your life, have you ever seen this in this mountain?" Chu Ze stretched out his hand, took out the periclase, and handed it to Ya'er to see.

Ya'er took the things and looked at them carefully.

"It looks familiar..." Ya'er frowned and began to recall carefully.

Chu Ze didn't bother him and just waited aside.

After waiting for a moment, Ya'er's eyes lit up and she said, "I remembered, this kind of stone is in Shizi Gorge. But it's quite far away from here, and the road is not easy to walk. Why are you going there, sir?" she said. He conveniently returned the periclase.

Chu Ze became happy when he saw that Ya'er actually knew.

"So, you know the way?" Chu Ze asked urgently.

Ya'er nodded: "I know, I often go up the mountain to collect some medicinal materials to supplement my family's income. I am very familiar with Fengchun Mountain."

"Then why don't you take us on a trip? Of course, you won't be spared the hard work." Chu Ze gave Zhao Si a look, and Zhao Si took out a silver coin from his wallet and handed it over.

Ya'er waved her hands quickly: "No, no, you've already helped me. It's natural for me to help you again. I can't accept this money, and I will also collect some things when I go into the mountains, so it won't be in vain." "She patted the backpack she was carrying, smiling with a bright smile on her face.

Chu Ze didn’t force it either.

He would naturally be happy to save money.

But it was getting late today, so Chu Ze and others found a suitable place and camped on the spot.

I just wait until dawn tomorrow and will go into the mountains immediately.

At this time, a figure sneaked into Chu Ze's room at the Xisui Mansion Posthouse.

Chu Ze left this morning.

Since Chu Ze left, the adjutant has been thinking about this matter.

But it was hard to do anything during the day when people were coming and going. Only when it was quiet at night did he sneak in.

He wanted to see what good things Chu Ze got.

The previous postmaster has died, and the current postmaster has not yet arranged for a new postmaster.

As long as he seizes the opportunity, this position will definitely be his.

When he thought that he could be promoted if he found something, the adjutant was so excited that his whole body was shaking.He held a soybean oil lamp and carefully explored the room, not missing any corner.

Until I turned it over three times.

The adjutant looked at the room in disbelief and said, "Did he take it away?"

If this is the case, then his efforts will be in vain.

The adjutant's eyebrows were knotted with worry.

He looked through it again without giving up, and after confirming that there was nothing valuable, he walked away with his mouth curled up and his face full of disgust.

The adjutant who walked out did not know that he had walked around the gate of hell.

On the roof, a pair of eyes kept staring at him.

After he left, the man turned over and jumped into the room.

At the same time, an urgent report was delivered to Wan Qishen's mansion.

Wan Qi was deeply asleep when he was woken up. The air pressure in his whole body was so low that the person who delivered the newspaper did not even dare to raise his head. He just lowered his face and quickly handed over the urgent report, saying to him in a very fast tone: "Sir, Yicheng, Fanxian and many other places have fallen one after another, and now the rebels have opened Chenjiang."

"So fast?"

The person who was full of low pressure just now suddenly changed to a shocked expression.

This speed was much faster than he imagined.

He couldn't understand how Li Xing was able to defeat Chen Jiang so quickly with so few people?
Chenjiang is not far from Xisui and is the last pass in Xisui.

Once Chen Jiang falls, Xisui will be in danger.

This is a big deal.

Wan Qishen opened the emergency report and read it quickly. After confirming the news, he immediately ordered people to change clothes and enter the palace.

When he was halfway there, Wan Qishen suddenly thought of Chu Ze.

He asked casually: "Where is Chu Ze?"

Someone outside the carriage replied: "I left for Fengchun early this morning."

"He went to Fengchun? Do you know what he did in Fengchun?"

"I don't know, but I heard a servant from Guanyi accidentally mention it before, saying that Chu Ze seemed to have gotten something good."

"Good stuff?" If Chu Ze can say it is good stuff, then it must be good. Wan Qishen quickly asked, "What good stuff is it?"

"...I don't know the small one."

"Tsk! Trash, you can't handle such a thing well."

After Wan Qi cursed deeply, he frowned and tapped his thigh, his mind spinning rapidly.

If you can think of anything that Chu Ze is interested in, he is also interested in it.

Even if it is useless to him, Wan Qishen cannot let Chu Ze get it.

He knocked on the wall of the car and told the people outside: "Send someone to keep an eye on Chu Ze. No matter what he wants to do, he will not be allowed to succeed."

"Yes."

"Sir, we have arrived at the palace." The carriage stopped. Wan Qishen immediately suppressed the malice on his face and quickly got out of the car with the emergency report.

The rebels were a big deal. Even if he knocked on the palace late at night, Li Shichang still met him.

After he knew the whole story, Li Shichang stood up from the dragon chair and pointed forward with a sullen face: "Go and ask General Dingwei to order the army to set off overnight. I don't believe it, Xiaoxiao." How can a Li Xing rebel against the sky?"

Wan Qishen still half-bowed and replied: "The rebels are not enough, but Chu Ze seems to be ready to make a move."

Chu Ze is also someone Li Shichang hates.

Hearing his name, Li Shichang couldn't help but frown: "What did he do again?"

"This, I don't know, but I got the news that he went to Fengchun. Logically speaking, the mine is the big deal. Just when the contract was about to be signed, he, the talker, went to other places. This is really disappointing. People doubt what he wants to do." (End of chapter)
