As Sang Wan turned out of the alley, she ran into Yu Lai.

"Master, I heard that the Pingxi Army entered the city in the past two days. I felt something was wrong, so I just took our carriages and horses to the newly bought shop."

Sang Wan was stunned. "Why would the Pingxi Army enter the city for no reason?"

"I heard they were here to buy food and seeds. Spring plowing is coming soon, and the troops stationed on the border have military farms. I heard that the seeds distributed by the court this year are moldy and cannot be planted at all."

If the Pingxi Army enters the city, they might run into Zheng Jinzhi. Sang Wan felt panic for no reason and his palms began to sweat.

"You did well. We need to keep a low profile and not run into them. Let's go."

Sang Wan lowered his head guiltily and quickened his pace.

Zheng Jinzhi's men searched every inn in the city but couldn't find Sang Wan. Yan Hong, upon hearing the news, was bewildered, knowing only that General Zheng's face had fallen to a terrifying level.

She secretly tugged at Li Jiu's sleeve and asked silently with her mouth: "Where's Xiao Shun?"

Li Jiu rolled his eyes in anger and mouthed back:

"I'm still looking for him!"

No need to guess, this brat must have gone with Sang Wan.

This is exactly the case. At this moment, Xiao Shun was eating a chicken leg with his head down, his mind blank.

When the news of the inn search outside was passed on to Sang Wan by the shadow guard, he knew he could not go back.

When Li Jiu gets back, he will skin him alive and tear his bones apart.

Sang Wan's face was also extremely ugly. She didn't even know when she revealed her true appearance to Zheng Jinzhi. If she had known this would happen, she should have asked Yan Hong to learn some disguise skills that day.

"I won't be in the next few days. Yu Lai, you handle it." She was a little disappointed and said to Xiao Shun, "You find a way to bring Yan Hong to see me."

"Yes." Xiao Shun responded with a bitter face.

The next few days were like a tug-of-war. Zheng Jinzhi's men blocked the city gates under the pretext of catching thieves. The Pingxi Army set up patrol teams to patrol day and night, almost taking over the daily defense of Liangzhou, leaving the Liangzhou governor confused.

What kind of thief actually alarmed the General Shuxi who was personally in charge? However, since it was a matter of military affairs, he did not dare to ask in detail. He could only respond cautiously and gave up all the office space to Zheng Jinzhi.

Zheng Jinzhi was not polite either. He took people to buy seeds and food during the day, and sat in the state government office waiting for news at night. However, as the days passed, the Pingxi Army almost turned the Liangzhou City upside down, but there was no trace of Sang Wan.

This time even Li Jiu couldn't help but ask:

"Master, are you dazzled?"

Xiao Shun knelt in the hall. Zheng Jinzhi held up his forehead and stared at him: "Where is he?"

"Master, I don't know who you are talking about."

Before coming back, Sang Wan gave him devilish training, and now he is steadfast and unyielding.

"Li Jiu, chop off his head and feed it to the dogs."

Zheng Jinzhi spoke coldly.

Li Jiu was dumbfounded. How could it become like this?

He gave Xiaoshun a good beating, feeling very disappointed with him:

"You bastard, tell me something! Where's Grandma? Are you crazy?"

Xiao Shun let him beat him: "Master, I won't know even if you beat me to death."

"Give him his wish. Kill him immediately!" Zheng Jinzhi almost shouted in anger. Li Jiu trembled and fell to his knees.

"Master, this kid is honest and sincere. He won't lie. He... Master, please forgive him. I will ask. I will definitely find out the whereabouts of the grandmother."

He stood up, drew his whip, and waved at Xiaoshun:

"You bastard, do you still know who your master is? Will you tell me?"

Yan Hong ran out from somewhere, protected Xiao Shun, and was severely whipped.

"Brother, don't hit him, hit me if you want to hit someone!"

Li Jiu had finally found his sister, so how could he bear to hit her? He was so heartbroken when he saw the whip hitting Yan Hong.

But Zheng Jinzhi was still angry. He didn't know how to hit or scold the man. He wished he could just hit his head and die.

"Everyone, go down." Zheng Jinzhi put away his anger.

He suddenly realized that Sang Wan was not here for him.

What is there in Liangzhou that makes her come all the way here?

"Immediately withdraw the city gate defense, unload the patrol, and stay on standby." He changed his mind.

Li Jiu is like falling into the clouds and mist:

"Master, are you not looking for Grandma anymore?"

"My eyes are blurry." Zheng Jinzhi put away the coldness in his eyes and looked at Xiao Shun meaningfully. "From now on, you don't have to call me master anymore."

Xiao Shun raised his head in surprise, almost crying: "Master..."

Li Jiu knelt down again: "Master, he is ignorant, please don't get angry. I will definitely teach him a lesson!"

Xiao Shun lowered his head, and the young man cried incoherently. He felt sad.

He understood that a loyal servant would not serve two masters, but in his heart, Sang Wan and Zheng Jinzhi had the same master. How did it turn out like this?

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and the more he cried, the more uncomfortable he felt. He supported himself with his hands and banged his head in the direction Zheng Jinzhi had left, but he couldn't stop.

Yan Hong was heartbroken: "The master is gone, it's useless even if you kowtow to death."

Xiaoshun continued to kowtow regardless.

Li Jiu sat down on the ground, his teeth itching with hatred: "You, you! What can I say about you!"

He was so angry that he slapped himself twice: "Blame me, it's all my fault!"

Xiao Shun burst into tears: "Master, I feel so bad."

He was picked up by Zheng Jinzhi and Li Jiu taught him martial arts. In his heart, Zheng Jinzhi is the sky and Li Jiu is the earth.

Later, Zheng Jinzhi asked him to follow Sang Wan, who was his heaven. Now that the sky had collapsed, he felt worse than if his father had died.

Yan Hong saw him bleeding profusely from the blows and couldn't bear to watch it, so she chopped Xiao Shun unconscious with a knife.

Li Jiu was stunned: "Is this possible?"

"What else? Watch him die?" Yan Hong was furious, somewhat resenting Zheng Jinzhi's inhumanity. "What's wrong with not wanting to see him?"

Li Jiu was so scared that she covered her mouth with her hand: "Shh! Auntie, keep your voice down!"

Yan Hong broke free from his hand and pouted:

"Shundu told me that no woman can stand being used. If it were me, I wouldn't want to see him either."

"Oh my goodness, you know nothing! Shun... he knows nothing!"

Li Jiu was so angry that he kicked Xiao Shun:

"Drag this brat away and apply some medicine on him."

Yanhong was full of resentment and helped Xiaoshun down.

The next day, Sang Wan and others discovered that Liangzhou City had returned to its former state of relaxation.

After asking carefully, I found out that the Pingxi Army bought food and seeds and returned to the camp overnight.

When Xiaoshun and Yanhong came back, one had a bandage on his forehead and the other had a stern face. Sang Wan frowned and asked:

"What happened?"

Xiao Shun remained silent, his eyes swollen like walnuts. Yan Hong pouted, "My brother said the military camp was a restricted area and we weren't allowed to stay there, so he kicked us out."

Sang Wan rolled her eyes and said, "Tsk."

"I thought it was a big deal, but you're so angry, Sister Yan. Don't bother with your brother, a rough guy. Since you won't let me stay, come to my place. I need someone for the next half month or so, and I need you."

Yan Hong was very happy and pulled Xiao Shun's sleeve and said:

"Look, isn't the master the best?"

Xiao Shun scratched his head and lowered it.

Master Sang is of course good, but the other master is also good.

Just like father and mother, neither can be missing.

Sang Wan guessed that he had suffered a lot and felt bad, so he signaled to Yan Hong with his eyes to let Xiao Shun go down to rest first.

She said to Yu Lai, "Now that the Pingxi Army has left, we should go to the gambling house."

Her first priority was to take over Dugu Luo's land, because Zheng Jinzhi had been delayed for several days.

What they didn't expect was that Zheng Jinzhi and Li Jiu suddenly turned around and returned to Liangzhou City.

At this moment, the two were looking at the house where Sang Wan settled not far away.

"Master, the grandmother is out." Li Jiu hid carefully, his eyes fell on Yu Lai, "This man has great skills."

Zheng Jinzhi looked at the familiar figure with mixed feelings.

When she really appeared in front of him, he seemed to be shy and did not dare to go near her.

Afraid of getting too close, she hid deeper, not even giving him a chance to take a look from a distance.

"I don't recognize him. He's not Xiao Ji's attendant."

Zheng Jinzhi had never seen it before.

But based on his understanding of Xiao Ji, if Sang Wan was not an extremely reliable person, he would never let her come to Liangzhou alone.

"The Shadow Guard is the shadow guard left behind by King Nan'an."
