The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

"Master, do you think we should arrange for someone to follow him?"

Xue Pan's eyes were slightly red. He took a deep breath with a complicated expression and slowly shook his head.

"No need! And regarding this matter, I hope Uncle Zhang can keep it confidential for him and not tell anyone else."

Butler Zhang looked shocked.

"Master, but..."

Xue Pan closed the window tightly, turned around and stared at Butler Zhang,

"He is my brother and my savior. No matter who he is, as long as he has not done anything to let me, Xue Pan, and my Xue family down, he will always be my good brother!"

Butler Zhang stamped his feet in anxiety.

"Master, his whereabouts are mysterious. It's very likely that he is from Yangzhou..."

"enough!"

Xue Pan shouted angrily, staring at Butler Zhang and said coldly,

"Uncle Zhang, I hope you don't forget who is in charge of the Xue family now!"

After saying that, Xue Pan turned away angrily.

Butler Zhang shook his head helplessly.

In the Xue family's backyard.

After hearing the report from her personal maid Xier, Xue's mother sighed softly.

"Alas! Well, let him be!"

"Tell Uncle Zhang to deal with the servant who first discovered this!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

After the maid left, Xue Baochai walked out from behind the curtain and came to Xue's mother.

Xue's mother looked at Xue Baochai and sighed helplessly,

"Alas! This is truly a disaster! You evil creature, you've only been a tool for two days, and already... Alas!"

Xue Baochai smiled and shook her head.

"Mom, Qingfeng Village is now very powerful in Yangzhou. It has become a powerful force. It will take more than the imperial court to wipe it out overnight. We are in Nanjing, so we should make preparations early."

"In any case, brother and you, we know nothing."

Xue's mother sighed and nodded.

"I understand! I understand! ..."

……

at the same time,

Sixty miles east of Yancheng City, where Sheyang Canal and Yanhe River meet,

The Qingfengzhai army was on the position that had just been built.

Yang Wei, the leader of Loushan Hall, and several captains of Loushan Hall were eating the dry food they brought with them, drinking water from the Salt River under the sun.

While eating, Yang Wei cursed,

"Damn it! I didn't expect those imperial soldiers in Sheyang Camp to be such spineless people!"

"Everyone is busy cleaning up their own mess. They didn't even bother with the rescue efforts in Yancheng. If we had known, we would have made a fire and cooked."

"Yeah! It's really infuriating!"

"Who said it wasn't? If those bastards hadn't been indifferent, we wouldn't have wasted so much time here!"

Several team leaders also nodded in agreement.

Yang Wei had previously ordered people to go along the Sheyang Canal to gather information in order to guard against Sheyang reinforcements.

However, it turned out that not a single person from the Sheyang army came to rescue, let alone leave the camp.

Everyone started to curse at him for a while, saying it was really out of place.

Here, Yang Wei and others had already started to eat dry food, so they were extremely angry.

Listening to everyone's indignation, Yang Wei smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, let's not rush these things."

"Let's eat and drink our fill first. Now that Yancheng has been taken, our mission is preliminarily accomplished."

"It depends on what the Peak Master orders us to do next: whether to return to defend Yancheng or attack Huai'an Prefecture."

"I wonder if that old pig would be drooling with envy if he knew we were fighting here?"

"Hahaha! I guess it must be so!"

"Hahaha! I guess so! Our Qingfeng Village hasn't deployed such a large-scale battle in eight hundred years."

"..."

Yang Wei also laughed with everyone.

at this time,

Suddenly, a man came quickly with a bamboo tube in his hand, and said anxiously,

"Reporting to the Hall Master, the Peak Master has sent a letter via flying eagle!"

"What? Eagle message?"

Yang Wei and the others were all shocked when they heard this.

Yang Wei quickly put the half piece of dry food in his hand into his arms.

He stood up and stretched out his hand to the person who came.

"Bring it here so I can see it."

"Yes!"

The man hurried forward and handed the bamboo tube to Yang Wei.

Yang Wei took the bamboo tube, but did not open it immediately.

Instead, he looked it over from left to right and front to back, confirming the marks on the two ends of the bamboo tube and finding that the fire mark was clear and complete.
