Guan Zheng arrived at Shilibao

When Guan Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed.

He looked at Peng Ergou and said, "Are you sure you saw someone from the Wu family?"

Peng Ergou nodded quickly and said, "Sir, I am sure. I saw it clearly."

Guan Zheng said, "Okay, you lead the way. If you find the Wu family, I will reward you handsomely."

Peng Ergou said excitedly: "Thank you, sir."

The village chief looked at Peng Ergou with hatred and said, "Peng Ergou, how could you betray your neighbor? You will be punished for doing this."

Peng Ergou disagreed. He said, "Village chief, I am doing this for the good of everyone. If we don't hand over the Wu family, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor and we will be beheaded! You have lived enough, but I haven't."

The villagers secretly blamed Peng Ergou, but Peng Ergou ignored them and led Guan Zheng and his men to the mountains behind the village.

Xue Qing and Wu Yu were shocked when they saw Peng Ergou and Guan Zheng and others walking towards the mountains.

They knew that if they were caught and found the secret base, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Qing'er, will they..." Wu Yu said anxiously.

Xue Qing said calmly: "No, it won't be so easy to find there. Even if they see the fog, they may not dare to go in!"

Wu Yu looked at Peng Ergou who was leading the way in front with cold eyes.

Xue Qing regretted that he had not beaten him lightly. He looked at Wu Yu and said to him, "I should have beaten him to death!"

Then he told Wu Yu how he and his brother had come to the Wu family to cause trouble over an egg, and then he beat them up severely.

Wu Yu suddenly said, "It was you at that time, right?"

Because he knew very well that Qing'er had no martial arts skills at all, and her personality was very different from the Qing'er in front of him.

Xue Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes"

Wu Yu reached out and held Xue Qing's hand tightly. She must have been very helpless when she first arrived, but she still had to protect her family.

Xue Qing looked at Wu Yu in surprise. The coldness in Wu Yu's eyes that he had when he looked at Ergou was long gone. Now he looked at Xue Qing with affection and a hint of guilt.

"Qing'er, I will always be by your side to protect you from now on!"

Xue Qing raised the corner of his mouth: "Okay, remember what you said!"

Peng Ergou led them deeper into the mountain until they came to the prickly ash tree, but they still didn't see any human beings.

Guan Zheng looked at Peng Ergou with a gloomy face. With a glance, a shadow guard came up from behind and kicked Peng Ergou.

Peng Ergou was kicked several meters away and curled up on the ground like a big shrimp.

"Jiang Yi" Guan Zheng's cold voice sounded.

Jiang Yi hurried forward and said, "I'm here."

Seeing Guan Zheng didn't say anything, Jiang Yi quickly said, "When I got to her, she had already stopped coming to the mountain. She was just at home collecting the mountain products sent by the villagers."

Peng Ergou curled up on the ground and said intermittently: "This is where that bitch brought us."

Guan Zheng's eyes turned cold, and the shadow guard who had just kicked Peng Ergou slapped him loudly in the face.

Peng Ergou was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why he was slapped again, so he could only kneel on the ground trembling.

Wu Yu and Xue Qing watched Guan Zheng and others' actions with worries in their hearts. They knew that they couldn't let Guan Zheng find the secret base, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The two of them discussed quietly. Wu Yu frowned and said, "Xue Qing, it seems that we can't show up in front of the village chief and the villagers. After all, no one will refuse the temptation of more silver."

Xue Qing nodded and responded: "You are right, we must be careful. Guan Zheng and the others are still searching everywhere, we can't take any risks."

So, the two decided to quietly follow Guan Zheng and observe their actions. They carefully concealed their figures so as not to be discovered by Guan Zheng and others.

Guan Zheng and his men were searching in the mountains. At this time, they were in a pepper forest and could not find any road ahead, so Guan Zheng decided not to go any further.

Wu Yu and Xue Qing watched from afar, remaining calm.

Guan Zheng looked ahead and saw that there was no way to go and said, "Take him back, we are leaving the mountain now."

Jiang Yi looked at the woods in front of him and always had a special feeling.

Guan Zheng saw all of Jiang Yi's emotions.

The men under his command responded one after another: "Yes, Pavilion Master."

They returned along the same route, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, Guan Zheng ordered the roads in and out of the mountain to be blocked.

If they are in the mountains, they will always come out to buy food, and once they come out, their movements can be discovered at any time.

"You guys guard this place well and don't let even a fly out." Guan Zheng said sternly.

"Yes, Master." The men answered in unison.

Guan Zheng and a group of people moved directly into the Wu family's house.

He had to wait here for the emperor's reply while continuing to search for Xue Qing and the others.

After entering the Wu family's house, Guan Zheng moved directly into the main house. He looked around the house from top to bottom and found that the internal layout was very unusual.

I have some thoughts in my mind.

He quickly wrote a memorial reporting the situation here and asked the shadow guards to send it to the capital city 800 miles away.

Guan Zheng was thinking about his next move. He said to Jiang Yi beside him, "Since you are familiar with this place, you will be responsible for arranging accommodation for the Shadow Guard Pavilion."

Jiang Yi quickly responded, "Yes, sir."

Guan Zheng quickly wrote the memorial and sent someone to deliver it to the capital at full speed.

Wu Yu and Xue Qing became even more nervous when they saw Guan Zheng's series of actions.

They knew that the situation was becoming increasingly critical and they had to find a way to deal with it.

"Wu Yu, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to find a way to break through their blockade." Xue Qing said.

Wu Yu nodded and said, "If they can't get into the fog, we still have time."

Xue Qing thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's observe their actions first. Knowing ourselves and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle."

Wu Yu agreed: "Okay, let's do as you say."

After Zhou Qian received Guan Zheng's memorial, he was certain that Xia Xueqing must be inside.

After the old emperor passed away, Zhou Qian still believed in the words of the imperial master. Except for the matter concerning Xia Xueqing, he would consult the imperial master on many other important decisions.

As soon as the Imperial Master came out of seclusion, he heard that the Emperor had married Xia Xueqing. He was moved and immediately went to find the Emperor.

After seeing the emperor, the imperial teacher bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you married Xia Xueqing, so I came here to congratulate you." said the Imperial Master.

Zhou Qian frowned slightly and said, "Master, you came just in time. I have something important to discuss with you."

The Imperial Master looked at the Emperor's expression and guessed something. "Your Majesty, please speak."

Zhou Qian waved his hand and asked someone to bring Xia Xuelian up. Xia Xuelian came to the emperor trembling with fear, and the imperial teacher noticed something was wrong when he saw her.
