The man who has traveled through time and space for a long time is so scary
Chapter 197: A domineering encounter
They set off again, without stopping along the way. After all, the situation ahead was unclear, so they still prioritized safety. However, the more they feared something, the more it came. When they saw that Mianzhou was only two or three miles away, a team of carriages came towards them in a panic, and this panic and chaotic situation was like being chased.
Seeing this, the team that was originally relaxing and laughing immediately quieted down, the convoy also stopped by the roadside, and the guards entered an emergency alert state. Nanchen heard the movement in the car, he immediately got out of the car to observe, and saw that the two convoys were about to meet, and the oncoming vehicles showed no signs of slowing down. What kind of emergency situation is this? !
"My fellow villager, what's the situation ahead? Why are you so panicked?" Nanchen asked.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The driver was extremely arrogant. There were at least thirty carriages rushing past. If Hua Heng's drivers were not all experienced and had first-rate horse-controlling skills, most people and horses would have been frightened and thrown into disarray.
For safety reasons, Nanchen led the guards to stay on guard for about two quarters of an hour, but they saw no pursuers catching up from the front, nor did they find any other abnormalities. It was strange that they were panicking for no reason.
"Send two people to follow them and see where they are going. Once you find out, come back and report." Nanchen was suspicious, so he sent someone to follow them and investigate. After all, judging from the tracks of the carriage that had just passed by, the carriage must be carrying a lot of cargo.
"Yes." The two men turned their cavalry around and chased after them.
"Everyone, be alert and continue to enter the city!" Nanchen directly exchanged positions with Hua Heng. He drove the car while Hua Heng got back in.
"Is it not peaceful?" Having encountered emergencies for two consecutive days, Yanan has been able to adapt well. At this time, she was able to think calmly and ask questions.
"Maybe, but I guess the group of people we just gave way to are not kind-hearted people." Shen Wen said with narrowed eyes.
"There is indeed no kindness at all! If they have good intentions, they can explain things clearly in one sentence and use it as a reminder to us, but they are so arrogant and domineering that we have to get out!" Hua Heng was sitting on the shaft of the cart driving the carriage before, so he felt it most directly. Not to mention kindness, he felt malice right in his face!
"There are all kinds of birds in the forest! Don't take it to heart. Sooner or later, someone will teach such people how to behave." Yanan didn't know what was going on, so he comforted her. Unexpectedly, his words came true.
When the convoy arrived at the city gate, Nanchen discovered that the person questioning him at the city gate was actually his former subordinate. Both parties were stunned when they met. However, now in public, it was not easy to recognize each other, so he could only pretend to question them and let them enter the city.
As soon as the team settled down in an inn, Hong Yi appeared in Nanchen's room. Nanchen saw him coming in person and knew that something must have gone wrong. "Tell me the situation in brief!"
"The Red Team received orders to set out early last night. They received a letter from the leader, asking them to check one person first, so they started checking as soon as they arrived in the morning. It went smoothly in the beginning, that is, the person was detained, the account books were also seized, but the food and silver were not found. The city defense was also taken over, and they are checking whether there is any abnormality in the city!" Hong Yi reported in a low voice.
"When did you take over the defense?" Nanchen asked
"About half an hour ago!" Hong thought about it and realized that he had given the order to take over the defense not long ago.
"Have you searched the entire city?" Nanchen asked again.
"We've searched for a whole day! All the Red Team is here, there won't be any omissions." Hong Yi said affirmatively.
"Have you ever thought about being outside the city?" Nanchen continued talking about his previous experience.
"I've thought about it. I just want to search the city first and then look outside the city. Boss, tell me where we met so we can chase him!" Hong Yi was so excited that he almost lost his composure. He grabbed Nanchen's hand and asked him to speak quickly.
"I have sent someone to follow him. To prevent him from being discovered, or to find out if there are other hiding places, I suggest starting with his family, relatives, and in-laws. As for the area outside the city just now, send people to keep an eye on it. Don't alert the enemy, so as to prevent him from moving again." Nanchen analyzed.
"Yes, boss, can you come with me to make the arrangements? You guys are too conspicuous here, and it's not convenient for me to come. I bought a house somewhere else, it's quite hidden." Hong Yi begged.
"I won't leave here. I have other things to do. At most, I will assign the two people who followed me to you." Nanchen ignored his show of weakness. Did he think he was a newbie who didn't know him? He asked him to leave his address and then drove him away!
"Hmph, you have such a cruel heart!" Hong muttered, then reluctantly went out and disappeared.
About an hour after Hong Yi left, one of the tracking guards came back. He hurriedly found Shen Wen and just as he started to tell him about their discovery, he was pulled to see Nan Chen. "Go ahead, you can tell me now!"
"Sir, we chased them and found that they were not moving forward. If we hadn't discovered that the wheel tracks were wrong, we would have almost missed them. They turned right, and there was a large farm five or six miles inside the right turn. The grain bags they transported from the car were stored in the houses on the farm. We went to check it out, and found that the large houses on the farm were all used to store grain, and the small rooms were for people to live in. After only seeing these and listening to some words, we learned that that group of people were not allowed to run around and were asked to stay on the farm. So we withdrew! Thirteen retreated to the intersection and hid there, and asked me to come back to report." Guard Fourteen said this in one breath, and then he gasped for breath, waiting for instructions.
"Very good, go downstairs and eat, and come back to me after you've finished eating with some dry food and water!" Nanchen asked him to go downstairs and rest for a while, and come back after eating. Nanchen guessed that the manor was not simple, and combined with the previous suspicion, there was a high probability that they were related. However, he still had to find hard evidence, so it seemed that he would have to work overtime for another night.
"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, it's not dark yet, but don't go out. Stay quietly in the inn with your guards tonight and rest. Go to the government office tomorrow to do some work. I'm going out for a while at night, so you just take care of the house!" Nanchen said as he held down Shen Wen who wanted to help, and said bluntly that the Red Team was here and he couldn't lose face anymore!
"Okay, second brother, you should also take a rest so that you can get things done in the evening!" Hua Heng and Shen Wen said with concern.
"Are you stupid? I'm going to interrogate people at night, not to risk my life! Don't worry, I'll sleep and wait for you in the first half of the night. Don't let my wife know!" Nanchen finally said it to reassure them!
"Understood. If you need my help, please let me know!" Hua Heng said at last. The brothers continued to chat for a while, and only stopped talking when Guard Fourteen showed up at the door wearing a new outfit and carrying a bag.
"Let's go." Nanchen stood up and led the guards out. Of course, they went to Hongyi's place. They needed to reassign a few people to monitor the farm. They all put on disguises. Nanchen and Hongyi also wanted to explore the farm themselves, so they followed them out of the city!
