The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

The next morning, just after dawn, Jiang Xing and Xie Ci left the post station with their followers and headed for several disaster-stricken counties under Suzhou Prefecture. They did not choose to stay at the post station for a long time, but were eager to learn more about the actual situation in the disaster area. After Su Xun learned of their itinerary, he specially sent Su Ping to accompany them. Jiang Xing did not object to this arrangement and gladly accepted Su Ping's company.

Along the way, Su Ping was very taciturn, and apart from the necessary communication, he hardly said a word. He just accompanied Jiang Xing and Xie Ci silently, fulfilling his duties conscientiously. This attitude surprised Xie Ci a little, but he did not ask too many questions.

After a whole day of running around, they visited two or three county towns. On the surface, the situation in these county towns seemed to be much better than that in Yangzhou. Jiang Xing and Xie Ci carefully observed everything around them and talked with the local people. The people said that when the county magistrate tried to embezzle the disaster relief money, Su Xun took decisive action, severely punished him, and ensured that every citizen could receive the money and food they deserved.

During the break, Xie Ci couldn't help but raise his doubts about Su Ping to Jiang Xing. However, Jiang Xing just smiled and didn't give a clear answer. He told Xie Ci: "Don't worry about these details, we just need to focus on the facts in front of us."

Moreover, in the hearts of the people, the governor Su was a good official who was dedicated to the people and was praised by everyone. Jiang Xing and Xie Ci also learned from the people that the daughter of the governor of Suzhou, Su Xiluo, was a kind-hearted official lady who often did charity work for the people and gave them porridge. In short, the Su family was full of good people. This survey result surprised Jiang Xing and Xie Ci.

The two looked at the investigation report in their hands and fell into deep thought.

"It seems that the Suzhou prefect is indeed as the rumors say, an honest and upright official who cares about the people!" Jiang Xing said mysteriously.

"From this report, he should not have any connection with Yangzhou. But..." Xie Ci frowned, "Those counties are adjacent to Yangzhou. Could there be some situations that we don't know about?"

Jiang Xing nodded in agreement: "We cannot rule out this possibility. Perhaps we can start from other aspects to see if we can find any clues related to Yangzhou."

"Well, that's all we can do. But this investigation was not without results. At least it made us believe that the governor of Suzhou was a "good man." Xie Ci said with a smile.

"Now we just have to wait for the ninth day!" Jiang Xing said while knocking on the table in front of him.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of determination. They knew that they should not miss any possible clues.

"Young Master, Chujiu cannot be contacted at the moment!" Jiang Xing said with a frown, while looking at Yuanchu who was standing aside, waiting for the other party's response.

Yuanchu showed a trace of anxiety on his face: "Yes, Master. I have tried many ways, but I can't get in touch with Chujiu."

Hearing this news, Xie Ci was filled with worry. Although he didn't know Chujiu very well, he knew that his cousin trusted Chujiu very much, and Chujiu had always been a capable assistant in the family. Now that Chujiu had suddenly lost contact, he was really worried.

"Has something happened?" Xie Ci asked anxiously, frowning.

Jiang Xing pondered for a moment and said firmly: "We must find Chujiu as soon as possible and ensure his safety. No matter what, he must not be harmed."

Then, Jiang Xing turned around and gave Yuanchu an order: "Try every possible way to contact Chujiu! Chujiu's safety is the top priority!"

Yuan Chu nodded and said, "I understand, young master. I will do my best." After that, he turned and left the room, quickly going to arrange the relevant matters.

However, as time went by, there was still no news about Chujiu. Even Thirteen, who had been on a mission with Chujiu, had disappeared without a trace. This made Jiang Xing even more worried.

At the same time, Chujiu was at the bottom of a cliff, struggling to find a way out. It turned out that when he came to the county government under Suzhou Prefecture to investigate, he successfully obtained important evidence. But unfortunately, he was soon hunted down by unknown forces and forced to the edge of a cliff. In the end, Chujiu fell off the cliff due to his serious injuries.

After being unconscious for a whole day and night, Chujiu finally woke up. He realized that he was seriously injured and could not climb up the cliff. In desperation, he could only choose to heal his injuries first and then find a way out.

Jiang Xing stayed in Suzhou for half a month and was ready to leave. Just like at the beginning, Su Xun did not see him off, but sent Su Ping to see Jiang Xing off. Everything was very peaceful. After leaving Suzhou, the two of them headed north.

After leaving Jiangnan, there was still no news about Thirteen and Ninth. This made Jiang Xing and Xie Ci even more worried! There had been no news about the two for almost two months, and they were afraid that they were in danger.
