Chapter 109 There is finally news
Chu Hongtai glanced at him and reminded lightly: "Don't forget, there were rumors at that time that the old woman's grandson was a spy in the army! Moreover, General Xia was born in Liyanghou Mansion! That was from Liyanghou Mansion. The eldest son, the honorable nobleman of the capital!"

Zhao Tiancai slapped his mouth and said, "I'm really confused. I forgot about General Xia's identity!"

Chu Hongtai remained silent. No matter what their relationship was, the matter was over.If those grandparents and grandchildren were related to Xia Chixiao, Xia Chixiao would find them.

Xia Chixiao, who led the army out of the city, shouted after walking for a while: "Shen Xia!"

A horse with a few people behind him quickly stepped forward.

Xia Chixiao slowly ordered: "You stay with a group of people, dress up in disguise, and pay attention to Qingning Magistrate Chu Hongtai."

At last night's banquet, when he asked that question, Chu Hongtai's eyes dodge for a moment. Therefore, what he said was either not entirely true or there was something else going on.

He wants to find someone, and he won't let go of any clues.

Shen Xia said: "Yes!"

He left the team.

Xia Chixiao continued to move forward.

There were scouts along the way to report the news.

Xia Chixiao's team only has 500 people.

Among them, 100 were from Lengtai Camp, and [-] were from him.

However, three teams of people were sent out to inquire for information like the scouts, and Shen Xia was asked to take away one team and another team.

However, there were no 600 people in the Lengtai Camp following the large army.

Among them, 300 people were scouts. They rode out early and then collected information along the way and passed it back.

There were another 300 people, and Xia Chixiao had other arrangements.

The continuously collected information, together with Chu Nanning's simple map and the distribution of bandits, formed a new distribution map of bandits in his mind.

After the bandits in Wuyucheng are cleared away, the last city, Tonghua Prefecture, will follow.

After clearing Tonghua Mansion, the bandits in the entire Yanping County will be cleared. If he advances all the way and wipes out the bandits in the other two counties, he can return to the capital.

Not counting the time on the road, it has been a month since he arrived in Yanping County. Even though he made a detailed plan and divided his troops into four groups, it was still too slow!After all, there are more bandits in the other two counties, so it may take twice as long.

If his dissatisfaction was known to those people in the capital, he would probably be slapped in the face.

It only took him a month to clear out dozens of mountain bandit gathering areas, large and small, and he still felt he was still too slow.

Even six months is a normal time for the imperial court.

At that time, some people predicted that taking [-] elite soldiers to suppress bandits would take at least two years if only the battles were won.Even with [-] elite troops, it would take a year to clear them out.

Of course, if it were another person, it wouldn't be so fast.

Mainly Xia Chixiao's former brothers have achieved success in the north, and they are scattered in various walks of life.

His information, in addition to the information passed to him by the scouts, was also handed over by the three teams he sent. The integration was quite fast and complete, and he got twice the result with half the effort!
When he met the magistrate in Tonghua Mansion, Xia Chixiao asked the same three questions again.

Similarly, I took out my grandmother's portrait and asked the magistrate of Tonghua Prefecture to help find it.

Next, there was another intense war to suppress bandits.

Some mountain bandits who were aware of the current situation surrendered, but those who were extremely vicious and had lives on their hands knew that they would not be spared, so they resisted stubbornly.

The soldiers and generals of Lengtai's army fought heartily. There were two generals who thought they were skilled in military skills. They looked down upon Xia Chixiao, a young and airborne general with a noble background.

But now they respect Xia Chixiao like a god, and they do not give any discounts to him.While encircling and suppressing bandits in Tonghua Prefecture, Xia Chixiao received news from Luo Xiao: "The old lady and the young lady went from Wan'an to Yanping, heading west from Guangzhi Mansion in Yanping, passing through Muyuan, Sanjiang, Suhe, and then The road is heading east, towards Qingning Mansion! My subordinates have led people to search along the road, and they will definitely be found!"

Xia Chixiao frowned and his eyes fell on the word Qingning Mansion for a long time.

Therefore, his guess was not wrong. Chu Hongtai, the prefect of Qingning, was indeed inaccurate in his words.

He had met his grandmother and his wife!

It seems that he has to go to Qingning Mansion again, but not now.

Shen Xia and his people are in Qingning Mansion and will send the news back.

What he has to do now is to quickly wipe out the bandits and then take them back to Beijing!
He didn't blame Luo Xiao for his previous efforts.The five cities were lost and recovered, and it was too chaotic. The people of the five cities were scattered in all directions, bandits and bandits were rampant, and there were starvation and death everywhere on the roadside. The living could be traced, but the dead could not be traced.

Trying to find two people among hundreds of thousands of people is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It would be great if there is news. A flash of sharpness flashed through the depths of his eyes.

Then his movements should be faster.

The bandits in Tonghua Prefecture were also eliminated in seven days.

Xia Chixiao was reviewing the documents after the prefect's Yamen assisted in the interrogation.

Another person, Zhuo Jun and Feng Yao, went through these first and selected the important ones.

Even so, there are many case files.

As before, he would select some typical examples and write them into the memorial. Every time the bandits in a prefecture were cleared, a copy of the memorial would be sent to the capital.We were going to the inn, so we didn’t need to send our own people.

After the memorial was written, he said: "Here comes someone!"

Zhuo Jun, who was responsible for handling this, came in. He took the written memorial from the documents and maps and said, "Send it to the inn!"

Zhuo Jun sharply saw a letter on the table.

Looking at the familiar handwriting, Zhuo Jun said happily: "Is it the old lady or the young lady who finally has news?"

Xia Chixiao nodded slightly.

The content of the letter is not long. It was sent after Luo Xiao's last letter from Fei Ge.

"Qingning Mansion, the young lady was imprisoned unjustly, but fortunately she was fine. However, after leaving the prison in Qingning Mansion, the old lady and the young lady disappeared. I wonder if they are still in the northern territory!" There is also detailed information found later, He actually found out everything about what happened to Mrs. Pei and Chu Nanning in Qingning Mansion.

Qingning Mansion, have you been imprisoned unjustly?

Xia Chixiao frowned fiercely.

Moreover, there are rumors that the young lady’s husband is a spy in the army?

So, he, Xia Chixiao, was rumored to be a spy in the army?
The grandmother and wife are anonymous here in Qingning Mansion. They don't even know that their grandson and husband are themselves, but rumors spread that they are known as spies. The people in the north hate spies the most. The people behind it want to kill them. To death!
Mr. Li, what is his identity?
The news is mixed.

They did not die in displacement, which is good news.

But now they are missing!

Were they aware of the danger, so they became more secretive, or did they fall into the hands of others?

Thinking that they had escaped danger in exile, but might be in danger in Qingning Mansion, a place that had left the war, he became anxious.

He was originally planning to go to Qingning Mansion, but after seeing the news, he decided to go as soon as possible!Just today, now!
