Chen Ran looked at Chen Leng and laughed: "I remember you said that Your Majesty asked you to investigate quietly."

Chen Leng nodded: "Well, it must be quietly."

Chen Ran glanced at such a large area in the distance that was razed to the ground by the crossbow formation cart, and looked at Chen Leng. The meaning in his eyes was as quiet as this?

"Take the people away, tie them up and take them to the boat, waiting to hand them over to Wei Lan."

Chen Leng waved: "Split a team of people to clean up the scene, and the horses they rode were loaded on the ship. By the way, don't give the horses to Wei Lan."

"call!"

The personal soldiers of his subordinates responded and quickly cleared the battlefield.

"Ranzi."

Chen Leng looked at Chen Ran: "Take two ten people to stay on the shore, and the boatman who towed the boatman was detained, and two groups of people were arranged to go to see Wei Lan separately, so that he and Helian Dongnuan would come over immediately. If anyone wants to steal these boatman and silver, he will do it directly. Also, let Wei Lan take people to the boatman's village as soon as possible."

"yes."

Chen Ran responded: "Where are you?"

"I'll go to Xiyuan County."

Chen Leng looked at the second Taoist: "Take the Taoist temple and let's go."

Chen Ran shouted: "You guys are careful."

Chen sneered: "Be careful not to kill people by chance?"

Chen Ran compared a middle finger.

Chen Leng returned to a circle.

From here to Xiyuan County, Anyang County, it is not close to you. If you take a boat, you have to walk for a day and a night. However, no one dares to pass the intersection of Sanjiang at night, so it is better to take a water route from here to Xiyuan County by land. Fortunately, those who are understanding and riding horses are still there.

Chen Leng and his team rode together and went north along the official road.

The bound county magistrate looked at Chen Ran, struggled when he was escorted by Chen Ran, and looked at Chen Ran and asked, "You navy is so slim?"

"Our navy is indeed very wide."

Chen Ran turned to look at the county magistrate and said word by word: "In the future, after the navy expands its territory and expands its territory and overseas, we will be more responsible. Wherever the Daning warship goes, the truth is."

He paused for a moment and added: "If you were not beheaded this time, you will definitely see how wide the Daning navy will be in the future in your lifetime."

The county magistrate glared at him.

Chen Ran smiled and said, "What a humble resistance you are when you glar at others."

The county magistrate's face changed, from anger to shame.

With the combat power of Chen Leng's personal soldiers, it is much easier to deal with these wing soldiers than to fight against the enemy on the battlefield. Moreover, a Wanjun battleship is parked here, and the weapons on the warship are irresistible for ordinary people.

Soon, all the wing soldiers were tied up and brought with them on the Wanjun warship. Chen Ran took two teams of ten people on the shore to be on guard. In the grass in the distance, two men with faces slowly raised their heads and looked at them. One of them couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Are these people in the county governments idiots?"

"They are afraid, and they will panic, and they will be confused."

Another man shook his head: "We were late. I thought that Lin Luoyu from the Vanilla Manor could be transported away in the end. But I didn't expect that Chen Leng didn't rush to go to the Vanilla Manor to meet Lin Luoyu, but started to stop the boat and investigate halfway."

Another person asked: "Is it still time to do it now?"

He looked back and saw that in the woods, the people they brought were waiting for instructions.

"It's too late."

The person who spoke just now pulled down the black scarf on his face. It was Yuwen Xiaoce. He took a breath and said, "Did you see that Wanjun? You can see the power of the crossbow formation car just now.

We were caught, our people could not get close to the warship at all. One volley of crossbow formation vehicles was enough to send us into heaven.”

He spat: "But it doesn't matter, you will break the line with the local government later."

He slowly retreated: "Take half of the people back and burn the Dakaishan camp as soon as possible. There is no need for that place to exist. Let everyone scatter back to Gyeonggi Province. No more than three people are allowed to go to the team, half by water and half by land."

Another person also pulled down the black scarf, which was the most common month for pig raising in Anseong County, Gyeonggi Province.

"And you?"

He asked.

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "I have to go to Xiyuan County. The people waiting to receive the goods here don't know that something happened. Chen Leng will definitely take people there. I will see if there is a chance to knock it. If there is a chance, I will knock Chen Leng. If there is no chance, I will knock our people off."

He patted Chang Yueyu on the shoulder: "I suddenly understand why the general must rely on the former crown prince Li Changze."

"Why?"

Chang Yueyu asked: "Li Changze obviously has no ability. How could he beat His Majesty?"

"It's because there's no choice."

Yuwen Xiaoce sighed: "Think about it, even if the general listens to us and disconnects the line from the former crown prince Li Changze, will Your Majesty stop sending people to investigate? No..."

He looked at Chang Yueyu's eyes and said, "No matter whether Li Changze can accomplish anything, or even whether he wants to accomplish something in the future, His Majesty will continue to investigate. His Majesty will not really kill his son, but will dig us out and chop our heads one by one, so the general said he had no choice."

"The general has raised so many people and so many teams over the years. Even if Li Changze does not rebel, will we not die? Once His Majesty finds out that the general has raised so many teams, he will still take action and kill them all, so we really only have one way to go."

Yuwen Xiaoce said: "But after thinking about it carefully, we are not without opportunities, and the opportunities may not be far away."

Chang Yueyu nodded: "Push on for a while."

He patted Yuwen Xiaoce on the shoulder: "Be careful, Shen Leng is a difficult task."

"Me too."

Yuwen Xiaoce smiled and said, "See you in Gyeonggi-do."

"See you in Gyeonggi-do."

Chang Yueyu clasped his fists and said again: "I'll deal with the local governments in Chong'an County."

"good."

Yuwen Xiaoce waved and took several teams to retreat to the north, while Chang Yueyu took the rest to retreat to the south.

More than an hour later, on the official road to the east of the county town, more than a dozen guards were protecting a carriage running wildly.

In the carriage, the county magistrate Yin Zhi still looked frightened.

"I thought it was just a few spies sent by the court. The person who reported the news said there were only a dozen people in total, but they didn't mention that there were warships! If I had known that there were warships, would I have someone to silence me?"

He interrupted the wife who was blaming him and said with a bitter face: "I said I had left long ago, because you didn't let me go. Now are you blaming me?"

His wife said, "How could I know that things have changed so quickly? The person who came to me at that time was General Xue Cheng's man. He said that the court had set up a bureau in order to suppress Chen Leng and Tianji tickets, and that the silver and grain would be transported to the disaster area and would not be hidden in private. The purpose of this time was that the court would take action against Chen Leng and Tianji tickets."

She glared at Yin Zhi: "You are talking to me now. I advised you to be cautious at that time. You said this is an opportunity for your promotion. You said that you have been a county magistrate here for almost ten years and you can't see hope. Only by seizing this opportunity can you rise to the top. I can't even persuade you."

"Shut up!"

Yin Zhi shouted: "If it weren't for your relative of Xue Cheng, would his people come to me?"

The lady said angrily: "You were a poor scholar back then, and I praised you and got along with you.

Who cried and begged me to recommend you to General Xue? Without General Xue, you wouldn't even have a county magistrate for the past ten years!"

Yin Zhi was furious and raised his hand to hit him, and his wife glared at him.

Yin Zhi's hand stopped in the air, and then fell down weakly: "Now let's stop arguing anymore, we are all trapped by Xue Cheng... The man named Yuwen Xiaoce swore that this was the arrangement of the court, and said that as long as it was done, the county magistrate of Chongqing County would be transferred to Chang'an, and I would soon be able to take over the county government."

He sighed: "Then he lied to me again. He said that the court would do something to investigate, so that I could feel at ease, and also said that I would wait for money... Now, Chen Leng came with the warship!"

His wife also sighed: "Yes, Master, now we should think about where to hide. Yuwen Xiaoce has escaped, and no one cares about us. We have to find a way to escape by ourselves. If you ask me, let's go all the way east and find a ship to go out."

“Okay.”

Yin Zhi nodded: "Where can you hide from that ghost, Han Shuzhi?"

Bang!

An iron javelin penetrated from the front and penetrated the driver outside the car. The iron javelin was stabbed out on Yin Zhi's body. He and his wife sat opposite each other. Xue Cheng turned his back to the driver. After the iron javelin penetrated, the tip of the gun stopped less than an inch from his wife's heart.

The slow horse pulling the cart neighed and then overturned, and the cart rushed into the ditch on the side of the road.

Yin Zhi's wife screamed in fear, watching her husband's face gradually turn from red to white.

“Go quickly…”

Yin Zhi pushed his wife with difficulty: "Run!"

The lady struggled out of the carriage, and the carriage almost fell apart. When she crawled out, she saw a black shadow falling beside her. She screamed in fear. When she looked again, she saw clearly that it was one of their guards. There was a crossbow arrow tied around her neck. The guards covered their necks with both hands, and blood sprayed out from the gaps in their fingers.

A group of people walked out slowly from the woods by the roadside. The person in the lead was a middle-aged man who looked a little fat.

"More than a month!"

When the lady saw it, her eyes widened: "You actually dare to attack me?! I am General Xue's niece. If you dare to touch me, I will tell General Xue!"

"Um."

Chang Yueyu walked to her side with a crossbow, ignored her, but looked at Yin Zhi in the carriage first. Yin Zhi's chest was penetrated and blood was flowing. He raised his head and looked at Chang Yueyu with difficulty. Chang Yueyu raised his hand expressionlessly and shot Yin Zhi's neck with a few times.

Pup puff puff... Several crossbow arrows shot into Yin Zhi's throat, and Yin Zhi's head quickly drooped.

"You are General Xue's niece, so of course General Xue can't take action."

Chang Yueyu looked at his wife and said something. Her face suddenly eased a lot. She crawled and knelt there: "Take me away quickly and take me back."
