When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Xie Jiu saw what he wanted to express and said coldly:

"If I hadn't taken the things from your village, you would have been judged in Hades' Palace with your dead brothers! But if you want to live long in the future, you have to let me know what value you still have, understand?"

Zhang Laoliu looked at him with sidelong eyes: "Why do you want to know those things? They are all my business, what value can they have?" He looked as if he was plotting something.

Xie Jiu said nonchalantly, "We will be going to Border Town in a while, the place where you escaped. The Border Town Army is now commanded by General Xiao. I have some friendship with him, and I know he really wants to know the truth about the mutiny in the barracks last time. If you can remember something useful, maybe you can really survive and return to Border Town alive. Aren't your family there?"

Going home is a great temptation for Zhang Laoliu. He dreams of going home, even though his family is extremely poor. Perhaps this is the feeling of a fallen leaf wanting to return to its roots.

He lowered his head, held back the sourness in his nose, and whispered with red eyes: "Can you really take me home?" Even if he couldn't survive, it would be good to die near home. It would be a blessing to be able to see his family before he died.

He couldn't even remember how many people he had killed as a bandit. If anyone said that he could survive, they would be lying. But the temptation to go home was too great. Even if he became a ghost, he didn't want to be a lonely ghost.

Therefore, the condition for the person on the other side to go home is exactly what he wants most.

Xie Jiu: "Isn't it obvious? Of course it can be done. But have you remembered anything useful?" If I can't remember anything, why should I bother carrying you, a burden, with me?

The calculation is so clear, it makes me hate it so much.

Zhang Laoliu also knew that if he didn't reveal anything, he would most likely not survive. If he wanted to reach the border town alive, he had to give him some information, but he couldn't tell him everything. What if he went back and burned his bridges?

Zhang Laoliu said, "I remembered a little bit, but it might take some time to remember everything." If he dragged him by himself, maybe he could drag him to the border town!

Xie Jiu said sarcastically: "Don't worry, even if you tell me everything, I won't abandon you, because if you really know the truth, then you are a witness, and witnesses must be alive to be useful, so you don't have to worry that I will kill you to silence you if I know, unless you know nothing, that would be really fatal."

Zhang Laoliu stared at Xie Jiu, and Xie Jiu let him look at him frankly.

Finally, he compromised. He recalled some unusual things that happened during that period and said slowly:

"We once picked up an important person. He came and went in a mysterious way. He was covered in a black robe and a hood on his head. He was very well covered. He was hunted down a few days ago."

This is very unusual. They are the patrol battalion and the task of picking up and dropping off important people should not fall on them.

Xie Jiu: "He is so careful in hiding his identity, it seems he has a secret, but how do you know he is an important person?"

Zhang Laoliu's cheeks twitched several times before he spoke with difficulty: "Because this person is the Fourth Prince, he was recognized and called out by accident, and we all heard it."

But they all quickly pretended not to hear it. It seemed that no one believed it.

When Xie Jiu heard the Fourth Prince's words, his heart trembled. He quickly suppressed his excitement and spoke nonchalantly:

"Just because of this? Not really." After all, so many people died in the army. It is impossible for them to start killing people just because their identities are discovered. After all, it is the army.

The Fourth Prince should not be afraid of this matter being exposed.

Zhang Laoliu said: "Because he seemed to have a conflict with General Chen, the two of them had a big quarrel, and it was General Chen who exposed his identity."

Xie Jiu asked uncertainly: "General Chen? Which General Chen?" There are many generals with the surname Chen in Border Town, but only a few of them can talk to the prince.

Zhang Laoliu said unhappily, "And that General Chen, of course, is our patrol battalion's boss, General Chen, Chen Jiangkuo!"

Boom! King Dongshan's heart was already thundering with lightning. This General Chen was half of the border town. Their Chen family had been guarding the border town for generations, and most of the generals from the Chen family also served in the border town.

Who would have thought that the Chen family would collude with the prince? That is a serious crime of treason!

If General Xiao is the mainstay of the Border City Army, then the Chen family is the four pillars of the Border City Army. Is he colluding with the Fourth Prince?

Only he is worthy of the Fourth Prince coming all the way to the border town to meet him. It seems that the Fourth Brother is really plotting a rebellion. That's not right. Just meeting General Chen doesn't seem to be enough for the Fourth Prince to come and meet him in person.

Xie Jiu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are they arguing?"

Zhang Laoliu recalled painfully: "They suddenly started arguing in the house, and then something hit the window, which opened a crack, and then I could vaguely hear some quarrels, about something like mining and greed, but I really didn't hear much."

Then General Chen left angrily, and the big shot came out again, wrapped tightly, and stood in the yard for a while before leaving.

It is unknown whether he found the open window when he was standing there and felt that the secret had been revealed, so he killed him. Xie Jiu felt a little melancholy. How could he check all these little details?

Ore? What kind of mine? It's worth the Fourth Brother's efforts. You can ask Weidong about this. Didn't he get back a lot of ores?

Valuable mines? Gold mines are the most valuable, but gold mines belong to the imperial court. Who dares to mine privately? If the fearless Fourth Brother wants to rebel, it's hard to say.

He glanced at Zhang Laoliu and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Is this all you can think of? You are so useless. Think about it again and come up with something more valuable, otherwise I will be sorry for the meal you ate."

Zhang Laoliu could not stand it any longer and shouted in a rough voice: "Have you ever brought me food? You took all my assets and didn't even give me a sip of water to drink. You are the most stingy, even stingier than the bandits."

The most stingy King Dongshan in the world scratched his face guiltily. He really didn't know that no one brought food to the bandits. Well, they were tied up like dumplings and there was no way for them to eat.

Ye Qingfeng's idea was simple. They were just bandits! They would be buried after the interrogation. Why waste food?

I didn't expect that this horse bandit was so lucky. Xie Jiu, who should have cut him into pieces, actually allowed him to live.

Xie Jiu personally brought water and dinner to Zhang Laoliu, untied him, and also gave him a bottle of medicine for knife wounds. This treatment was several levels higher.

Zhang Laoliu was not polite either. He ate with big mouthfuls, drank the water in one gulp, and then quickly applied medicine to his wounds. He didn't want to die, at least not here.
