The prince is very cruel

"It's settled." Guan Ning repeated what had just happened.

After hearing this, Lou Xinyue's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise: "What a coincidence?"

"I thought this person would not agree."

"Maybe it's God helping me."

"But next, I may have to trouble you to make a trip." Guan Ning frowned.

Lou Xinyue shook her head: "It's okay."

"How do you plan to get the sheriff to release him?"

Guan Ning said, "Sima Yuan may have gone to the capital. Let's go find Prince Ping."

"The prince has spoken, and the county governor dares not disobey."

"I will write a letter, and you take it to Ling County. Then I will ask Prince Ping to send someone to go with you to retrieve Linghu Bei's wife."

Lou Xinyue nodded: "Okay!"

"It would take me ten days to go back and forth on my horse, so the people from Bashan must have arrived by then."

"The timing is just right, it will just delay my trip to Guangdong and Guangxi."

Guan Ning's eyes were deep, and he smiled and said, "Everything is worth it. Perhaps two hundred thousand gold is not the biggest gain."

Hearing this, Lou Xinyue was shocked. Isn’t two hundred thousand taels of gold the biggest gain?

She glanced at Linghu Bei not far away, but didn't ask any more questions.

An hour later, Lou Xinyue set off. The beauty in white clothes and the Ferghana horse galloped across the wilderness and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Guan Ning stayed at the dam, waiting for Nie Nan's men and also waiting for Lou Xinyue's return.

This wait lasted for five days.

During this period, the dam was spared from being searched because of Linghu Bei's presence. The five major families searched for him everywhere but could not find him.

Guan Ning had nothing to do, so he took Rong'er out to play every day. This little girl was really innocent. A kite he made by hand could make her so happy that she couldn't sleep.

Linghu Bei was still worried at first, but after seeing his daughter smile so happily several times, he completely trusted Guan Ning.

On the same day, Guan Ning suddenly received a letter from Bashan.

He immediately left the dam without stopping and arrived at an inn in the suburbs as the letter said.

As soon as they arrived at the gate and their eyes met, Guan Ning recognized the person from Bashan.

"Prince Guan!"

"It's you, haha." Guan Ning laughed and patted the man's shoulder. This man was one of Nie Nan's trusted subordinates, Nie Jie. They had met once in Bashan, but they didn't get to talk.

"Yes, the clan leader asked me to come here this time to say hello to Prince Guan." Nie Jie was in his twenties and was very cheerful.

"Haha, Brother Nie, you're too polite."

"Come on, let's go inside and talk. This is not the place to talk."

"it is good!"

Soon, Guan Ning and his companions entered a dilapidated room. After taking a sip of tea, Guan Ning asked first.

"How many of you came this time?"

"Sir, a hundred men have arrived with twelve large ships and are anchored at the lowest reaches of the Fengdu River."

"Because this place is weird and full of mixed forces, we dare not approach it rashly, as we might be robbed." Nie Jie frowned.

"Well done, it's right there!" Guan Ning was overjoyed. Twelve large ships would definitely be enough.

Then he said solemnly, "I'll make it short, so remember this!"

Upon hearing this, Nie Jie and several others sat up straight, their faces serious, and they pricked up their ears to listen. If this matter was not handled well, they would definitely be punished when they returned.

"Seven days from now, at dusk, the Fengdu River will burst its banks, and a flood will come from above. I need you to wait downstream!"

flood?

Several people were shocked when they heard this, but did not ask any further questions.

"I need you to drop anchor far downstream to stabilize the boat, and set up at least three barriers with fishing nets. When the time comes, a large amount of gold will emerge from the riverbed. Load it all onto the boat!"

gold?

Nie Jie and the others were shocked again.

"Also, remember!"

"If a woman or child falls into the water, you must rescue them, but if it's a man, don't rescue him. He is not a good person!" Guan Ning warned seriously. He knew the people on this side of Fengdu River too well. Almost everyone had blood on their hands. If they were rescued, they might kill the people of Bashan. He didn't want to be a saint.

"Okay, don't worry, Prince. We will strictly follow your instructions."

"Then where should these things be sent?" Nie Jie asked.
