In the famine, she stockpiled space supplies and became a bandit.

By the time Xiao He arrived at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the leader had already surrounded the place.

"No one is coming out?" he asked.

The leader bowed respectfully: "Don't worry, sir, no, it's just..."

"What? What's wrong?"

The leader nodded. Logically speaking, with so many of them gathered here and without hiding their whereabouts, it was impossible for the people inside not to have noticed. Since they had noticed, how could no one come out to check?

However, ever since they began to surround this place, it has been quiet inside. Not to mention anyone coming out to check, there was not even the sound of talking.

This is not normal.

The leader explained the situation to Xiao He one by one.

Xiao He's heart skipped a beat, and he rushed to the door in two steps, saying, "Someone, break the door open for me."

This old guy Si Yu is the most cunning one. Could he really run away again?

Things are often like this, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to come.

When they rushed into the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, they found that the huge mansion was empty. Not only were there no people, but even the valuable ornaments were gone.

At this time, a soldier came to report that all the officials and their families who were members of Si Yu's party had disappeared without a trace.

Xiao He: "..."

What's there to not understand? Others have already prepared to leave, but I'm still being kept in the dark.

He clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles were noticeably white, and his whole body was shaking with anger.

"They shouldn't have gone far. Chase them, regardless of life or death."

"Yes!"

Xiao He's guess was right. Si Yu and his companions had not gone far and were found soon. However, when Xiao He and his companions got there, none of Si Yu's court officials were there. Instead, they were greeted by the chilling sword energy of Jiuxian and the cold eyes of the Red Tower Killer.

If those servants hadn't guarded it with their lives, that place would have become Xiao He's burial place.

"How dare Hong Hong Lou go against the imperial court?" Xiao He wiped the blood off his face in embarrassment, and immediately dispatched a team of soldiers in the name of the emperor to chase after them. However, he learned his lesson this time and only went back to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion to wait for news and did not follow them.

However, this time they still failed to catch the person, and were instead surrounded by Le Zheng Feiyuan and his men, and none of the soldiers who went out came back.

Later, when people were sent to look for it again, they discovered that all the clues had been erased by the people in the Red Mansion, and no trace could be found.

Xiao He: “???”

It seems that he underestimated Nanyue County and Luo Xi.

But it’s better this way. Once these people leave, there will only be his people in the court, and it will be much easier to do whatever he wants.

And now no one will send things to Nanyue County anymore, how long can they hold out? By then, these people will have no choice but to die.

"Come here, this time we must seal off the two counties of Nanyue and Fengchuan, and don't let even a fly in."

On the other side, Si Yu had already arrived in Fengchuan County under the escort of Le Zheng Feiyuan and others.

"Dad, did you have a smooth journey?" Si Jia was waiting at the city gate early in the morning, and he went to greet the convoy as soon as it stopped.

Si Yu got out of the car and bowed to Le Zheng Feiyuan and Jiu Xian: "I have to thank my nephew and the Ninth Floor Master for protecting us along the way, otherwise, we would have been caught by Xiao He."

The others, remembering the dangers along the way, also bowed to the two men in thanks.

Le Zheng Feiyuan spoke a few humble words to them.

Jiuxian was straightforward: "Don't thank me, thank Luoxi instead."

After saying this, he turned and left, not accepting the other person's courtesy at all.

Everyone: "..."

They didn't seem to have offended him?

Si Jia and Le Zheng Feiyuan were already very familiar with Jiuxian. They smiled at each other. The Ninth Floor Master was still the same as before. He didn't give face to anyone except the boss.

"Don't worry about it, this is how the Ninth Floor Master is. You'll get used to it." Si Jia explained.

One of the officials thought for a moment and asked, "He won't kill us without a sound..." He raised his hand and scratched his neck.

Up to now, no one knows how many court officials have been assassinated in Honglou. It is really too numerous to count. For the sake of his own life, he had better ask.

Le Zheng Feiyuan took a deep look at the man and said, "If anyone does something to let down the boss, he will!"

Even though the Ninth Floor Master is always cold and icy, he is the one who protects the Big Boss the most.

The official: “!!!”

He swallowed hard and promised solemnly: "This will never happen."

After resting in Fengchuan County for two days, they set out to meet Luo Xi in the capital of Nanyue County. After all, she was the master here.

Along the way, everyone was shocked by the prosperous scene here.

"I never thought that in this famine, this border area would be so lively?" Si Yu sighed.

"Yes, this scene is much better than when the late emperor was still alive. I don't know how the boss did it. No wonder when we were in the capital, we often heard people say that they wanted to settle down here. This is indeed a good place to go."

Everyone's originally anxious hearts calmed down at this moment. Perhaps, after coming here, they will really live better than before.

At least I don't have to worry about my family all the time, wondering when they might become traitors.

Oh, well, now they are traitors.

"General Le Zheng, I wonder if the boss is... easy to get along with?" an official asked. In his impression, women are sometimes more difficult to figure out than men.

When they came to Nanyue County, there was an 80 to 90 percent chance that they would integrate into the place, so it would not do any harm for them to get to know the place first.

Le Zheng Feiyuan thought of the woman who was so special that even he found her strange, and smiled: "You will understand when you see her."

So, everyone came to the county magistrate's mansion with uneasy hearts.

"Butler Liu, is the boss here? I have fulfilled my mission and brought back the Right Prime Minister and his men." Le Zheng Feiyuan said to Liu Xiaoyu.

Liu Xiaoyu has now become the chief housekeeper of the county magistrate's mansion. All the affairs in the mansion are under her control. Everyone under Luo Xi is very polite to her.

But even so, Liu Xiaoyu remained calm and modest. After greeting several people one by one, she smiled and said, "General, you came at the right time. We are here. Just go to the lobby. The master and the others are all there."

Le Zheng Feiyuan didn't think much about it. He thought Luo Xi was going to discuss matters with other people, so he took Si Jia and the others with him.

However, as soon as they entered the gate, they could smell the smell of barbecue from afar. The fragrance was so good that it made the already hungry people very greedy.

Le Zheng Feiyuan's eyes lit up: "Did the boss make something delicious again?"

Liu Xiaoyu nodded and was about to speak when Luo Xi, who was brushing sauce on a roasted whole lamb in the yard, looked up and said, "You're back. Just in time. We're having a barbecue today. You're lucky. This is the sauce Chu Zhe made himself. It's delicious."

Did Mr. Chu do this?

Le Zheng Feiyuan couldn't bear it any longer, so he took two quick steps over, reached out and took two skewers of freshly grilled beef and stuffed them into his mouth.

Really fragrant!

Mr. Chu had made this several times when he was at the General’s Mansion, and he still couldn’t forget it. Today, he finally got to eat it again.
