County Magistrate Wu and others slowly walked out of the inner room. Today was the regular meeting time. Before summoning Yuan Qi and others, they were already discussing matters. It just so happened that everyone wanted to know his purpose.

"What do you think of this idea?" It is undeniable that his idea is indeed good, but it is indeed a bit risky.

"This risk is worth taking. The key is how to get out of it safely." Lin Chuan frowned. After all, he had to have a legitimate reason to convince the public.

"But the risk is too great," County Magistrate Wu knew. "Not to mention the return trip, we might even be ambushed on the way."

"The most important thing is whether this matter is true or not." If it is true, it is worth a try.

Sheng Changan raised her eyes slightly. Even when Zhu Di rebelled, he did so under the banner of clearing the court of corrupt officials. Since she wanted to rebel, she must have a legitimate reason.

What could be a more sufficient reason than defending the emperor? Sheng Changan exhaled lightly, "Then let's go and find out the truth. Yuan Qi will accompany us on this summons to the capital."

If she really died, she would have to take him with her.

"Since that's the case, sir, why don't we split our forces into two groups?" Lin Chuan's eyes moved slightly.

"One team is in the open, and the other team is in the dark. Send someone of the same age as the adults to be in the open, while the adults stay in the dark."

Xia Yi stepped forward and said, "I am willing to be that person. This is a good opportunity to lure the person out and catch him in one fell swoop."

"According to the intelligence we've gathered, all the checkpoints are strictly checking people coming from Guangping. It's said that if there are women of similar age, they'll even take out their portraits for comparison," Yue Qingping told the news he had found out.

Although there is no conflict on the surface, undercurrents have already been surging.

"Sir, why don't we ask Yuan Qi? Since he said so, he must have a solution." Lin Chuan suggested.

Zheng Jun's eyes moved slightly. "Sir, this person is waiting outside the door now."

Sheng Changan raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him in."

Yuan Qi was calm and composed. Since he was going to help this lord ascend to power, he also had some knowledge of the other lords in the city. He also guessed that there must be more than just this lord here today. "This subordinate can forge a pass."

"How do you plan to solve Zhang's problem?" Sheng Changan was a little curious.

"I have seen the correspondence between my second uncle and the Liu family. Shanglian was the place recommended by my second uncle, so I am quite familiar with the chapter of Shanglian." Yuan Qi's expression remained unchanged.

Since he wants to compete for the position of the head of the family, he naturally has to prepare early. The Liu family is the trend of the times, and his second uncle already has many advantages, so of course he has to be more cautious.

Sheng Changan curled his lips. "You are really a blessing to have you, your second uncle. Maybe the news he said was also because of his second uncle. You are responsible for the travel permit. Get ready and set off."

"Yes"

The matter was settled, and Sheng Changan also breathed a sigh of relief. Li Dashan, Li Hui and Xia Yi attracted attention in the open, and then Shen Huaizhi and she disguised themselves and set off secretly.

Calculating the time, Shen Huaizhi should be back in these few days.

A few days later, news finally came that Du Jingsheng had returned.

Looking at the dusty man in front of him, Sheng Changan frowned, "Wang Yi stayed in Luodan?"

She didn't expect Wang Yi to be so bold. She had thought about arranging someone for such an important position as Luodan, but the Liu family also attached great importance to this place, so the possibility of her intervening was too small.

"We rescued several people on this trip. Brother Wang Yi opened a teahouse in their name." Du Jingsheng also knew the importance of this matter. In order to avoid implicating Wang Yi, he even had to reveal his identity in another place to attract attention.

Sheng Changan pursed his lips and suppressed his worries. "Go back and rest first. Ask Mr. Du to take a look at your wound."

"Yes." If Shen Huaizhi had not arrived in time this time, he would have suffered more than just a simple hand injury.

Sheng Chang'an closed her eyes. Wang Yi probably knew that she was weak in this aspect, so he took the risk of staying in Luodan to get information. Once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yuan Qi's travel pass has been prepared. Xia Yi set off first, while Sheng Chang'an disguised herself as a young lady from a noble family and was escorted to the capital by a caravan.

The caravan consisted of twenty people, led by Shen Huaizhi.

Yuan Qi was a little surprised. He had been worried that it would be difficult for this lady to disguise herself as an ordinary person, but he didn't expect her to adapt so quickly.

Her phoenix eyes were forcibly painted into innocent almond eyes, with thin eyebrows and pale face. Her face, which originally had a bit of sharpness, now looked particularly weak.

He hesitated to speak, "The master seems like a different person." Even if he passed the checkpoint, he would surely not be recognized at all.

Sheng Changan curled the corners of his mouth. After all, it was one of the four major evil arts in Asia. It couldn't be said that it had changed completely, but the general direction could still be changed.
