I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

In the deep mountains more than fifty miles away from Taiping County, soldiers were running in an orderly manner in the forest.

Even though they are in the deep mountains and forests, they still haven't forgotten to train, which shows how strong this team is.

In a large tent not far away, Ning Fei was flipping through a military book out of boredom.

Qingzhu knelt on the ground contentedly, boiling tea with mountain spring water. In front of him was a Go board with nineteen lines, which were ever-changing.

Ning Fei was really getting impatient, so he threw away the military book in his hand and came to Qingzhu.

"Military Advisor, we've been here for several days. Is there still no news about Crown Prince Zhao?"

Qing Zhu smiled and shook his head at Ning Fei: "Let me ask you, if you were the Crown Prince of the Zhao family, would you dare to come out now?"

Ning Fei's expression changed, and he shook his head and picked up the discarded military book.

Dare?

Anyway, he didn't dare to do it because people were looking for him outside. He had to hide in the deep mountains and forests for a year or two.

"But it's not a good idea for us to just keep wasting time here. His Majesty is still waiting for us to return."

Qingzhu raised the feather fan in his hand, but put it back without fanning it: "General, now is the time to test your patience. It's our fault that we haven't found that Prince Zhao."

Ning Fei squinted his eyes at Qing Zhu and couldn't help but say, "Military Advisor, the weather isn't hot anymore, why are you still holding the feather fan?"

"And I noticed that even in winter, you still hold a feather fan. Are you so passionate?"

Qingzhu looked at the feather fan in his hand, sighed and said, "This feather fan is the only relic my master entrusted to me before he died."

"I'm sorry for the slip of the tongue, please don't blame me, Military Advisor." Ning Fei spoke quickly.

"No." Qingzhu shook his head slightly: "It's mainly because my master told me that I look too ordinary and I would look more handsome with a feather fan."

Ning Fei was speechless and continued to read the military book.

Half a minute later, a figure quickly came up to the two of them.

"Master Military Advisor, General, I'm back." Zhao Kai bowed.

Ning Fei immediately perked up: "What's the matter? Is there any news?"

Qingzhu calmly poured herself a cup of tea. News? Don't even think about it. Even if Prince Zhao was a loser, he couldn't be so impatient.

Zhao Kai shook his head decisively, then looked a little hesitant.

"Just say it." Qingzhu took a sip of tea.

"Yes!"

Zhao Kai stopped and stood up, and began to report what he had seen and heard while following Jiang Yuan for the past few days.

A quarter of an hour later, Ning Fei looked at Zhao Kai with suspicion: "No, did he really do that?"

Robbery in the name of bandits, running hundreds of miles to other counties to rob people, this is something that bandits would do, right?

Who on earth is this Jiang Yuan?

Zhao Kai nodded vigorously, "That's right, General. This guy is completely lawless. Just give the order, and I'll take him down!"

Qingzhu rolled his eyes: "Catch who? Who wants to be caught by you?"

"Of course it's Jiang Yuan." Zhao Kai said in a low voice.

Qingzhu glared at Zhao Kai angrily. "Let's not talk about where we'll find Prince Zhao if we capture him. Just the things he did, even though they were a little unreasonable, were ultimately for the people of Taiping County."

"Don't forget, we've already informed the higher-ups. Taiping County hasn't received a single grain of food for disaster relief so far. Are you going to capture him, skin you alive, and feed you to the people of Taiping County?"

Zhao Kai couldn't help but shudder. Although Qingzhu seemed very kind, he could really do such a thing.

As early as the decisive battle with the Zhao Dynasty, Qingzhu used every trick he could to win.

This includes but is not limited to spreading rat poison in the rivers around the enemy, and turning rice fields into aerial bombs and dropping them into the enemy city.

Under such unscrupulous means, the Zhao family was extremely frustrated and their city was broken into.

"Alright, as long as Jiang Yuan has the ability to support hundreds of people in Taiping County, it's not surprising that he uses some underhanded tactics. Let him go and keep a close eye on Prince Zhao."

More than ten miles away from Taiping County, Jiang Yuan calmly asked everyone to stop the carriage.

"Sir, what are you doing? If you don't run away, what if they catch up with us?" Li Hu was anxious. He didn't kill him because the young man should have woken up by now.

Jiang Yuan winked at Li Hu, then waved his hand: "Wang Gang, tie up Li Hu!"

Wang Gang suspected that he had heard it wrong, pointed at Li Hu and looked at Jiang Yuan.

"That's right, just tie him up!" Jiang Yuan repeated again.

Li Hu was completely dumbfounded.

What have I done wrong that you want to tie me up?

Aren’t you going to give me any false charges?

But Wang Gang was not going to be polite with him, and he tied Li Hu up tightly while speaking.

"Sir, I am obeying your orders. Why are you tying me up?" Li Hu looked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan patted Li Hu's shoulder gently, and said cheerfully, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. I'll take you to earn some extra money!"

Having said that, Jiang Yuan immediately gave instructions to the villagers following him.

One half took off their black clothes and the other half was tied up with ropes.

"Master, where are we going?" Wang Gang looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion.

Jiang Yuan chuckled and pointed to the back: "Turn around, let's go back to find the caravan!"

More than ten miles away from Jiang Yuan and others, the middle-aged man finally saw the young man come back after waiting for a long time.

"Bai Qing, why did you come back just now? How come you are so far behind?" The middle-aged man looked at the big bump on Bai Qing's forehead in surprise.

"Where are the people? Where is that guy? Damn it! He actually dared to use explosives!" Bai Qing looked around angrily.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what's going on?" The middle-aged man said with a gloomy face.

As Bai Qing narrated the story in a concise manner, a crazy murderous intent appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

I have been escorting goods for my whole life and have experienced many storms, but in the end my boat capsized in this small and shabby place.

"Uncle Wang, what are you waiting for? Let me take a group of people with me, maybe we can catch up!" Bai Qing said anxiously.

This time, because of him, a carriage and the cargo on it were lost in vain, at least two or three hundred taels of silver.

If the headquarters knew about this, would they still be nice to him?

Uncle Wang's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out of it, but he was still mature after all.

"Don't even think about it. These bandits have gone deep into the mountains. Where can you find them? Just assume we're done for this time and hurry on!"

Bai Qing opened his mouth, his face darkened, and he obediently took back his weapon and walked to the front of the team to take on the responsibility of guarding.

From time to time, there were bursts of shaking heads and sighs in the team, which made Bai Qing even more angry.

It would be fine if he lost fairly, but the key point is that his loss was so unfair!

What kind of thing is it to be so drunk by someone who gave you money?

However, before the group had taken a few steps, they heard shouts from behind.

"Is that a caravan passing through Taiping County?"

"I am Jiang Yuan, the magistrate of Taiping County!"
