Soon, Bai Xia came out from the front and blocked the way of the officers and soldiers.

Without giving him any time to react, he directly used his bow and shot an arrow, knocking the man off his horse.

The master died, and the horse stopped naturally.

It wasn't that Bai Xia was cruel and raised his hand to kill someone, but it was because he didn't want to give the officer time to react for fear that he would destroy the letter.

Seeing that the person had fallen down, he waited for a while to make sure that the person was not moving, and then ordered someone to come forward and search him.

"General Coach"

The men handed the letters found from the officers and soldiers to Bai Xia. Bai Xia reached out and took it, opened it and read it.

This is a letter written by Lin Shu, the general of the Tushan garrison, to his cousin Lin Jiao, the infantry commander of Jiazhou. The letter did not say that any officers and soldiers on his side were missing, but he was inquiring about the situation in Jiazhou and whether there were any larger refugees. Riots or gangs of bandits.

Miu Miu's few words don't contain much content.

But it caused Bai Xia to think deeply.

Looking in the direction of Tushan, she was thinking about whether to move forward.

Judging from the content of the letter, although Lin Shu did not write it clearly, there was a hint of concern about the bandit forces, indicating that the situation there was not optimistic.

Liu Yunzhai is still very weak. The purpose of coming here is to harass the garrison and let them take care of themselves. They will not think about attacking Liu Yunzhai or discovering the existence of Liu Yunzhai's power. If she goes there, Not only could it not serve the purpose of harassment, but it might have alerted the enemy and caused the garrison to counterattack, and that would be the end of it.

"General Coach"

Bai Xia turned her head to look at the person who called her, folded the letter and put it in her arms.

"Go, go back first"

After burying the body, they returned towards Liu Yunzhai with a harvested horse.

The horses' hooves were covered with cloth, both to lower their voices and to hide their tracks.

Although the garrison did not dare to act rashly, there was no guarantee that this was not their conspiracy, but just to make them relax their vigilance.

So they can't take the initiative to alert each other now, but they can't be unprepared.

On the other side, Lin Shu sent scouts out to find out the news shortly after the messenger left. Not long after, the scouts came back and reported the news they found. They suspected that the previous messenger might have been killed, and there were many horse hoof prints where he was killed.

"Where is the location?" Lin Shu asked.

"The border between Ganzhou and Jiazhou" the scout replied

"Sure enough," Lin Shu showed an expression that he had guessed a long time ago.

"Okay, I see, you go down first"

After swatting away the scouts, Lin Shu came to the terrain map again.

In fact, he has no cousin. The commander of the Jiazhou infantry is indeed called Lin Jiao, but they are strangers to each other. This letter is a test. If the letter is sent out normally, it means that there is no problem in Jiazhou, even if Lin Jiao If you see it, you will only think that he is seeking relatives and will not have any other ideas.

But since it wasn't sent out, it means someone is watching here.

There are messy horse hoof prints. It seems that there are many people and one or two horses, and there is no way to create such an illusion.

A rare thing like a horse cannot be obtained by ordinary people and bandits. The disappearance of his people must be related to Jiazhou.

Lin Shu's eyes were gloomy, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

He quickly wrote a letter and reported the matter.
-
Back in time a month ago, Bai Xia killed the two people on Yi Yi and the people who were secretly watching her, and returned to Liu Yunzhai.

A few days later, Prince Zhou got the news.

After the reporter reported the news to him, he was silent for a long time. After a long, long time, until the chess pieces in his hand were soaked with sweat, he released his palms and threw the white pieces in his hands into the chess basket. .

"I was careless," he sighed.

"Order people to search for other people in Lijiacun"

"Bai Sanya also sent people to look for her."

"She was so honest along the way, but she just decided to run away when she was almost at Tushan, which means she must know something, or... Li Xiuyuan is nearby."

"Let's all be alert, that girl is not simple."

"In addition... let the people below tighten their belts recently. The people above seem to be showing signs of rising up. The actual situation in Ganzhou must not be leaked. Have all the refugees been resolved?"

As he spoke, a man was kneeling below him, wearing black clothes and his face covered tightly.Hearing this, he hurriedly replied: "The refugees who escaped from control have been dealt with."

"According to news from Beijing, it seems that there will be heavy rain in one and a half months."

The man continued to report.

The young man frowned, took out the chess pieces and arranged them randomly. After a while, he sighed: "You said Ji Quan led an army of [-] to serve the king?"

"Yes"

"Wang Chenggang has also been restored to power?"

"Yes"

"What did your father say?"

"The prince said that everything is decided by the prince, but now is not the time, so the prince must be safe."

The young man looked thoughtful, thinking about the words of the man in black, thinking of the recent events and the changes in the court, and couldn't help but nodded.

"I understand. Let Chen Ping arrange it. After it rains, he will issue a decree to recall the people. Once the people are found, they will all be sent back to their place of origin."

"Yes"

"In addition, keep an eye on Lijia Village. If anyone is found inside, he will be arrested."

"Yes"

The conversation between the two ended quickly. The young man sat for a while and then ordered someone to prepare the carriage and go out.

The mob outside the city is still there, but it doesn't pose much of a threat to the government. They are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. It's just that the government doesn't want to pay attention to them.

There are fifty thousand troops in Ganzhou City.

Just kill the mob of more than [-] people.

Little thought indifferently.

The carriage left the Governor's Mansion and soon stopped at the back door of the blacksmith shop. Someone came forward and welcomed the young man in.

"Please sir"

Blacksmith Wang nodded and bowed. When he saw the young man, he didn't dare to raise his head. He just led the way and flattered him from time to time, but the young man ignored him.

The two came to the blacksmith shop and entered the backyard. There was a dry well in the backyard.

"Please sir"

Blacksmith Wang took a ladder and put it into the dry well, and made an inviting gesture to the young man.

The young man lifted up his robe, grabbed the bamboo ladder with his knuckled hands, supported the mouth of the well, and slowly stepped in, going down the ladder with his feet firmly planted on the ground.

Surrounded by the dark well wall, the young man reached out and groped on the well wall, found a bulge, twisted it once clockwise, then twisted it half a turn in the opposite direction, then twisted it one and a half times clockwise, and pressed the bulge hard. A hole appeared on the wall of the well that only allowed one person to pass through.

The young man stepped in, and the stone door behind him closed automatically, as if it had never appeared before. Blacksmith Wang above put away the ladder and returned to the shop as if nothing had happened.

The young man went in along the entrance of the cave, and there was a long corridor inside.

After walking in for about half a mile, the ground began to extend downward, and candles automatically lit up on both sides, illuminating the road ahead.

Ahead was a row of stairs that went straight down. Layers of darkness spread onto the ladder, as if it were the door to hell.

The young man didn't feel any panic or fear at all. He calmly stepped down, looking at the darkness around him as if it were nothing.

"Dangdang"

"Dangdang"

"bang"

"thorn"

Chaotic sounds gradually came, and the further the boy moved forward, the louder the sounds became.
