Du Qianhao, the former magistrate of Fengxiang County, Pingyang Commandery, Beichuan District, accidentally discovered that someone was illegally mining iron ore on Fenghuang Mountain between Fengxiang County and Fengwu County.

After several days of surveillance, they discovered that Yu Qian, the prefect of Pingyang County, was involved in the incident. He ordered people to smelt iron in the mountains and smuggle it out in batches at night.

While they were trying to figure out where to ship it, they were discovered by their people.

None of the people sent to investigate came back alive, and Du Qianhao was also targeted by the prefect.

He wanted to report the matter to the court, but he had no channels. Instead, he was framed by the prefect, who said that he was corrupt and had colluded with the bandit leader to harm the people.

He knew very well that only by escaping would he have a chance to redress his injustice.

In order to avoid being discovered along the way, he took a few guards who escaped with him and crossed mountains and rivers, going to remote places, and they were eventually found.

Several guards died to protect him.

If Du Qianhao had not been discovered and treated in time, he would have been a corpse now.

He also wanted to go to the capital to file a complaint, but the prerequisite was that he had to save his life first.

Chu Moyuan didn't expect that this person came from Beichuan.

There is no need to think about filing a complaint with the emperor. As a prefect of a county, if he dares to privately mine iron ore, he must have someone backing him up, and the person behind him must be very powerful. As long as he shows up in the capital, he will be chopped off!

Regardless of whether what he said was true or not, let's take him on the road first. When we get to Beichuan, we will naturally know whether it is true or not.

"Take it with you!"

With the prince's permission, Du Qianhao was able to stay.

"Excuse me, Brother Du, where are we going?" Du Qianhao originally wanted to ask so that he could decide where to separate from them.

"Beichuan!" Du You replied indifferently.

This person is really funny. He didn't even know where they were going, but he insisted on following them. Isn't it too late to ask now?

"Bei...Beichuan?" When Du Qianhao heard Beichuan, he ignored the pain and insisted on getting off the car.

Du You ignored him and let him do whatever he wanted.

Don’t you see how badly you’ve been injured? You still dare to act so arrogantly!

"I'm not going to Beichuan, I'm going to the capital!"

Du Qianhao finally got up after trying for a long time, but fell flat on his face when he got out of the car. No one came forward to help him, and everyone was laughing at him.

So, Du Qianhao said to Du You angrily.

"Whatever! No one will stop you!" After saying that, Du You left!

Du Qianhao lay on the ground, his heart filled with despair and unwillingness.

God will kill me!

He lay there like this until midnight, and when people noticed him again, he had a high fever.

The soldier in charge of night watch quickly found Du You and asked him how to deal with it.

Since Du You knew Du Qianhao's identity, he couldn't really ignore his life or death, so he had to bite the bullet and go to the prince to get medicine.

"Your Highness, Du Qianhao has a high fever!" Du You said tremblingly despite Chu Moyuan's anger.

"What happened? Isn't he fine after the treatment?" Chu Moyuan said unhappily when he saw Xia Youan was woken up by Du You's voice.

"When Du Qianhao found out we were going to Beichuan, he insisted on leaving and fell to the ground, but we ignored him. It was cold at night, and he was injured, so he caught a fever!" Du You knew it was his fault, and his voice became lower and lower.

Xia Youan quickly took out the antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs and handed them to Du You, "Hurry up and give them to him. We finally saved him, don't let him die here again!"

Du You quickly took the medicine and gave it to Du Qianhao to take. He then kindly carried him into the car and covered him with an extra blanket.

What a troublemaker!

At 7:30, after breakfast and packing up, they prepared to continue their journey.

"We are ready to go. Have you decided whether to follow us or get off the car?" Du You said to Du Qianhao, whose fever had subsided but who was even more frail.

Du Qianhao opened his mouth, but couldn't bring himself to get off the car.

"Hurry up, don't delay our trip!" Seeing his dithering look, Du You couldn't help but get angry at him again.

"I'll go with you!" After saying that, Du Qianhao closed his eyes.

Forget it, my fate is in the hands of God, not me!

"Why bother?" Du You muttered and left.

Du Qianhao: "..."

The vehicle continued to move, and Du Qianhao kept closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

Du You saw that they were being attacked from both sides by at least a hundred masked men.

The man came up and started chopping without saying a word.

Chu Moyuan calmly instructed Qingying, "Protect An An and Du Qianhao."

Du Qianhao was deeply moved when he heard this.

He originally thought that Chu Moyuan would not care about his life or death, but he did not expect that at such a dangerous moment, he would still think about protecting himself.

There were a large number of masked men. In order to end the battle as quickly as possible, Chu Moyuan, Du Zuo, Du You and others used all their killing moves, killing people as if they were cutting melons and vegetables.

Although the soldiers are not good at martial arts, they have strong team combat capabilities. If they can't beat the masked man one-on-one, they will fight ten against one.

Don’t worry about whether it’s a matter of martial ethics or not, as long as you can kill the masked man, that’s fine.

Before Chu Moyuan left, he told Xia Youan to stay in the car and not come out, so as to avoid having nightmares after seeing the bloody scene.

Xia Youan wanted to see Chu Moyuan's heroic figure on the battlefield, but she didn't dare to, fearing the sight of flying limbs.

A circle of soldiers surrounded the carriage, and Qingying sat on the roof and looked around.

When a masked man broke through the encirclement and rushed over, Qingying struck him with a sword and sent him back home.

The masked leader looked at the one hundred or so brothers who had come, and now there were only a dozen or so left standing.

"withdraw!"

The masked man received the order to retreat from his leader and ran away in panic.

Chu Moyuan didn't let them chase after him.

Du Qianhao watched the scene, wondering if they were coming to kill them, or me. Could they be more powerful than me? What kind of powerful figure must he have offended to warrant the dispatch of so many assassins?

Du You led people to clean up the scene. The masked man had no obvious features, and it was unclear whether he was a professional killer or someone trained by Shen Xiang himself.

112 people were killed by the masked men, 3 were killed by the royal soldiers, and 20 were injured. The wounded were bandaged aside, and Du You ordered the 3 dead to be buried.

As for the bodies of the masked men, they were piled together and set on fire.

May you be a good person in your next life!

Even if you have done so many evil things in this life, you may not be reborn as a human in the next life!

After handling the scene, everyone rested for an hour to recover their strength.

When they set out again, Du Qianhao was fortunate to have two more companions in the car, sitting on either side of him, one on his left and one on his right.

This time I won’t be lonely on the road!

Along the way, the three people who shared the same suffering chatted leisurely, mainly because Du Qianhao wanted to find out some information.

Don't ask, don't know, I'm startled when I ask.

It turns out that the benefactor was the King of Chu, and Beichuan was the King of Chu's fiefdom.

How could he be so lucky? Even when he was injured, he still met a powerful opponent. Does this mean that he will soon be cleared of his wrongdoing and reinstated?

When they were about to reach Luoshui City, two teams of 10 people quietly left the team.

Arriving in Luoshui City, Chu Moyuan took Xia Youan and others to the inn and booked several inns for the soldiers to rest.

Another team of people rode non-stop through the north gate of Luoshui City and headed towards their next destination, Yecheng.
