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

If he becomes the King of Dongshan, will Weidong still recognize him?

All the good things Weidong did were for Xie Jiu, and this was a dead end for him.

So King Dongshan moved his lips but didn't say anything. He didn't dare to take any risks.

General Xiao has such a good reputation in the border town, but Wei Dong has no intention of making friends with him. And King Dongshan doesn't have a good reputation either, so Wei Dong will probably stay even further away from him.

General Xiao and his personal soldiers surrounded the gold mine, blocked the scene, arrested all the managers and accountants, and the interrogation was in full swing.

Normally, King Dongshan should be present at such events.

But King Dongshan disappeared again. He and the caravan set off. General Xiao...

Are you really not afraid that I will report you? Does the emperor know that you are so irresponsible?

King of Dongshan: If I don’t follow closely, Weidong will run away. Is it easy to find someone you like these days?

If he doesn't catch Wei Dong now before his brother comes looking for him, he doesn't know if he will have the chance to take a vacation in the future.

As for the Fourth Prince's affairs, he didn't want to get involved at all.

The old general already has the tiger talisman in his hand, so there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as the border town is not in chaos, other things will not be a big problem.

The interrogation at the Dali Temple in Kyoto did not go smoothly. When the Fourth Prince was brought out for trial, he relied on his status to act like a spoiled child and nothing could be gotten out of him.

The Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple did not dare to punish the Fourth Prince, so he could only continue to detain him and wait for new evidence from General Xiao in Border Town.

The confession given by General Xiao during the interrogation is quite complete.

However, he kept it in his hands and did not rush to send it to Kyoto.

Xiao Jingxing was puzzled and asked, "Grandpa, do you think there is something wrong?"

General Xiao stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the lush trees in the yard:

"Zhiyuan, don't you think that these people's answers during the interrogation are too consistent?" Zhiyuan is Xiao Jingxing's pen name.

Looking at his grandfather's suspicious look, Xiao Jingxing didn't quite understand:

"Aren't the answers consistent?" Everyone's testimonies pointed to the Fourth Prince, who was the same target they had suspected before.

Zhang Laoliu also said that the Fourth Prince had been to the border town and had met General Chen.

Now everything is correct, why is grandpa still worried?

General Xiao turned around, looked at Xiao Jingxing seriously, and said:

"I just have a feeling that everyone knows what to say in their confession if they are caught. It feels like..."

"Like someone had taught him this in advance?" Xiao Jingxing added.

General Xiao came over, sat in front of the desk, picked up the confessions and looked at a few people. He sneered:

"Sometimes the confessions are too consistent, which is also very strange. By the way, is there anything unusual on General Chen's side?" It is impossible not to alarm General Chen after arresting so many people.

Xiao Jingxing said: "General Chen did not show any abnormality. He did not ask any more questions when he saw the captured people that day."

He just took a look and left, and didn't want to talk to anyone alone afterwards.

General Xiao nodded and said, "There must be someone monitoring him for twelve hours without interruption." Especially during this sensitive period, no mistakes can be allowed.

Xiao Jingxing: "Yes! I have sent three groups of people to take shifts to guard." He knew the severity of the situation, and his grandfather had secretly mobilized some troops to make arrangements.

In order to prevent any changes in the border town, the military camp is now loose on the outside but tight on the inside, and monitoring is very strict.

General Chen was sitting in the barracks handling military affairs. His personal soldier Jiang Lang was about to speak but hesitated. General Chen did not even raise his head:

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, just fart. You are hesitating like a woman." The pen in his hand did not stop, and he was still writing something.

Jiang Lang said hesitantly: "General, have you felt that the atmosphere in the camp is a little strange these days?" He felt that some eyes seemed unfriendly.

General Chen paused, dipped his brush into the ink in the inkstone, and then continued writing:

"We just need to do our own job well. General Xiao will take care of the rest, so there won't be any trouble."

Jiang Lang wanted to say that I didn't mean that, but seeing General Chen handling military affairs calmly, he didn't say anything. He just looked back uneasily at General Chen who was still busy when he went out.

General Chen was a person he admired very much. He had strong military capabilities and no bad habits. He felt that his ancestors' graves were filled with joy to be able to serve as a personal soldier for such an upright general.

He has been with the general for two years. General Chen is a very easy-going person. He does not have a condescending attitude and does not like to punish soldiers at every turn.

He has a very good reputation in the army, second only to General Xiao.

General Chen's family has been guarding the border for generations and has been favored by the emperor. Every year, the palace rewards the Chen family, which represents supreme honor.

But recently, Jiang Lang felt uneasy. He felt like someone was watching him when he slept, but when he got up to check, there was no one there.

Also, he was the one who cleaned up General Chen’s study and documents. Sometimes he felt that these things had been touched, but the guards said that no one had entered the study.

This feeling of uneasiness had been very obvious in recent days, but if he wanted to say it, he didn't know how to tell General Chen. He just felt something was wrong, but nothing unusual had happened.

After Jiang Lang left, General Chen paused for a moment while writing. He knew what Jiang Lang was talking about, but he could say nothing and do nothing.

One wrong step leads to another, and now he can only wait and see what happens.

He hoped that the Chen family in Kyoto would not be implicated. He already felt very sorry for his family. His heart ached, and he could only pretend that nothing had happened.

He could only hide his confused heart by being constantly busy.

Xie Jiu is not having a good time now. Wei Dong doesn't like to talk to him these days. Shangdu is still delivering goods to different places, and two-thirds of the ore has been unloaded.

After the remaining one third have delivered the goods to the last stop, they can take a short break. Because the goods they brought back this time are large in quantity and of high quality, they can rest for a while before setting off again.

It was supposed to be a happy thing, but Xie Jiu sensitively felt that Wei Dong was in a low mood, and he didn't know why?

Finally, all the ore was unloaded into the workshop's warehouse, and Weidong welcomed his short vacation.

In theory, now that he has a house, he can go back and enjoy a comfortable life for a few days.

But after he gave the others a holiday, he took a few guards to the village where he grew up, and that was also where he met Xie Jiu.

Wei Dong's house has been sold, but Xie Jiu's house has just been locked but not sold.

At least Weidong didn't sell it when he left.

He rode his beloved horse Wuyun on the familiar path. The place was exactly the same as when he left, and there had been no changes over the years.

It seems that only humans have changed.
