Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Xie Xiaocheng never thought that the third prince Bei Yao would come to Sishui County.

Not only that, they also visited Geshu at night and burned more than a dozen of his tents.

When Xie Xiaocheng knew that Bei Yao was in Sishui County, he couldn't sit still anymore.

He is the most beloved prince of the current emperor. If a hair of his falls in Sishui County, I'm afraid the whole Sishui County will tremble.

He prays every day for Beiyao's safety.

But, something happened yesterday!

He went to pick up Beiyao as agreed, but no one showed up.

Then he ordered a search and found only a dilapidated temple.

Many people died inside, but there was still no trace of Bei Yao.

This morning, a snow-white horse ran to the tent.

Its back was covered in blood.

Xie Xiaocheng recognized it; it was Bei Yao's horse.

It was obvious that Bei Yao was injured and was lying on the horse's back, trying to escape, but he may have fallen off the horse due to exhaustion.

So Xie Xiaocheng immediately sent his trusted men to look for it, but they found nothing after searching for the whole morning...

That’s the third prince.

That’s Beiyao!

Just when Xie Xiaocheng was getting extremely anxious, someone came to report that there was theft in the camp, so he had to rush back.

Xu Yuan took a look and remembered what Shen Renyao said, and said unhappily: "A counselor under the Third Master, named Shen Renyao, asked me to bring you a message. Please find someone."

"Shen Renyao?"

Xie Xiaocheng was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and asked, "What do you want, Master Shen?"

Beiyao is a prince, and he left the capital in a low-key manner, so naturally he would not use his own name.

Therefore, Shen Renyao was the fake name Bei Yao used in Sishui County.

"I asked you to find someone named Chen Shan."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he took out the envelope from his sleeve and said, "This is what he wrote. Take a look for yourself."

Xie Xiaocheng took the letter, read it carefully, and finally moved his gaze to Xu Yuan.

"Are you sure this was really written by Master Shen?"

"Would I cheat you for the money?" Xu Yuan asked back.

Xie Xiaocheng calmed down and said, "Take me to see Master Shen. Today's matter will be written off. I can promote your brother immediately."

Xie Xiaocheng knew that the young man in front of him cared most about his brother.

If he could control Zhang Yue, he would also control the young man in front of him.

Shen Renyao, he had never heard of him.

But if there is any news about the third prince Beiyao, he must not miss it.

Hearing Xie Xiaocheng's words, Xu Yuan said without a second thought: "Impossible."

"Then you are lying!" Xie Xiaocheng looked at Xu Yuan with murderous intent in his eyes, "You'd better think it over before you answer."

"What a reckless man." Xu Yuan couldn't help but curse.

"you……"

"If I can take you to see him, why not bring him here directly in disguise?"

Xu Yuan interrupted Xie Xiaocheng and said, "Shen Renyao is injured and cannot be moved. The people chasing him are from the capital. If I take you with me, it means telling the people behind the scenes where Shen Renyao is. I don't care whether Shen Renyao is dead or alive, but I can't let my family get into trouble because of me, so it's impossible!"

By bringing Shen Renyao home, she had done her utmost and taken a huge risk.

Family is her bottom line.

No one can test it.

Hearing this, Xie Xiaocheng suddenly felt overwhelmed. He tried to calm down and asked, "Do you know who Shen Renyao is?"

"No matter who it is, it's not as important as the safety of my family."

Xu Yuan looked at Xie Xiaocheng and said, "It doesn't matter if General Xie doesn't believe it. Return the letter to me and I will pretend that I haven't seen you today. You don't have to worry about Shen Renyao seeking revenge on you in the future."

"No, now that I have seen it, I cannot just ignore it."

Xie Xiaocheng took the letter, rolled it up and said, "I will also keep an eye on the man named Chen Shan you mentioned. Please wait a moment, I will send someone to get the silver."

After Xie Xiaocheng finished speaking, he was about to leave when he remembered something and turned back to say, "As for your brother, he can join the military camp now. I will arrange for him to join the Chengzi Camp. Is that enough? He will be the first one to join the Chengzi Camp among the new recruits."

The Chengzi Camp is the most elite unit of the Dingbei Army, and its members are all brothers who have followed Xie Xiaocheng through thick and thin.

Putting Zhang Yue here is equivalent to putting him under his own nose.

Similarly, it can also play a role in soothing and making wishes.

After Xie Xiaocheng finished speaking, he couldn't help but take another look at Xu Yuan, and deliberately said: "However, whether he can stay depends on his ability."

"Of course my brother is capable, but General Xie, there is no need to make such high-sounding statements. You don't trust me, so I naturally don't trust you much either. I just brought someone to pass on a message."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he paused and then said, "Whether Mr. Shen is true or false, he will naturally tell you after finding Chen Shan."

"Okay, within three days, even if I have to turn the entire Sishui County upside down, I will definitely find the man named Chen Shan."

Xuyuan didn't say anything.

She lifted the curtain and went out. Zhang Yue was already waiting outside anxiously.

"Xuyuan, are you okay? Did General Xie give you any trouble?"

Xu Yuan was originally a little angry, but after hearing Zhang Yue's words, he just smiled and comforted him, "I'm fine."

Next to him, another person followed him in. After a moment, he came out and said, "Zhang Yue, General Xie has asked you to enter the Chengzi Camp. Go pack your things and follow me."

Hearing this, Zhang Yue was stunned. He looked at Xu Yuan, but before he could ask why, Xu Yuan pushed him and said, "Brother, military orders are as heavy as mountains. Go quickly."

"Ok."

Zhang Yue still had a lot to say, but when he heard Xu Yuan speak, he could only leave reluctantly.

As soon as Zhang Yue left, Song Bo also came over from the other side with a cold look on his face.

When he passed by Xu Yuan, he paused for a moment, smiled coldly and said, "Mr. Xu is really a good tactician."

Xu Yuan remembered what Xie Xiaocheng had mentioned before about the fifty lashes.

It seems that Cheng Jie has been beaten.

She pretended not to know: "What?"

"Cheng Jie was hit with fifty sticks, which cost him half his life. Mr. Xu is not very old, so how could he be so vicious?"

Uncle Song smiled with his face but not his heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xiaocheng opened the curtain, walked out and said, "Mr. Song, this is a military camp. It was the general's order to let Cheng Jie be beaten. If Mr. Song is dissatisfied, you can speak to the general directly."

Xu Yuan looked at Xie Xiaocheng's domineering appearance and even forgot the previous unpleasantness for a moment.

"He is a person that the Song family values. Is General Xie planning to target him?"

"Hahaha, it seems that Mr. Song is really old. His eyesight has become so poor that he can't even tell the good bamboo shoots from the bad ones. Cheng Jie is so timid, how could he be favored by the Song family? I am worried for General Song!"

After Xie Xiaocheng finished speaking, his face suddenly turned cold, "This is the Dingbei Army camp. If you have nothing to do, Mr. Song, please leave quickly."

"Thank you for the reminder, General."

Uncle Song glanced at Xie Xiaocheng meaningfully, and then said, "I heard that many nobles have come to the capital recently. Everyone knows that General Xie is in charge of Sishui County. General Xie should remember to arrange more people so that no one will get into trouble. That's all I have to say. General Xie, take care of yourself."
