At Maoshi the next day, as soon as the officials in the duty hall came on duty, they saw Yan Chang coming over, yawning.

An official said with a smile: "Yan Cangli, are you so diligent today? Did Mr. Ren give you some favors and ask you to help with things?"

Yan Chang bowed casually, clicked his tongue and said, "How do you talk, it's all for the court."

The official couldn't help sneering: "Yan Cangli, you and Xu Gongcao don't stay in the county government to do business, but always stay in the mine, the more the cook, and we, the salt and iron officials, compete for food. This is for the court. Doing business? I’m afraid it’s not for the sake of making money for myself.”

Yan Chang did not show any weakness, he pouted at him with a provocative smile, and said: "Then some people still can't get it, they can only be jealous."

"you!"

The officials next to them quickly pulled the two apart, and comforted both sides, and then they entered the duty hall.

Ten miles to the south of Tang County, there are dense mountains and dense forests. Two groups of troops from Yeyuan and Zhennan Army arrived one after another, and they fought each other not long after.

On a cliff, Bandit Chu stood facing the wind, his robes fluttering, looking down at the battle below. Behind him were three hundred archers led by Zhuo Chuan waiting for orders, and there were more than five hundred people led by Lei Xi lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain.

Zhuo Chuan said worriedly: "Lord Chu, they are moving faster than we thought. According to the report from the tripper, there will be another group of Yeyuan dark guards coming here tomorrow. Today we can take advantage of both of them being hurt, but tomorrow The two sides must have sensed that something is wrong, and we are bound to face the enemy again. In this case, we can only go to the Tang County Mine to take Mr. Zhao away today, but the time is too short, and I don’t know if we can get the evidence.”

"It doesn't matter, I believe him." Bandit Chu watched the movement under the cliff, held the handle of the knife in his hand, and said calmly, "We are responsible for doing our best to hold it back."

After a while, Chu Bandit gave an order, and thousands of arrows shot from the cliff, instantly turning into a rain of arrows.

At the end of the day, several officials in the accounting room of the duty hall stretched their waists, and got up together to have lunch. Yan Chang used the excuse of taking the drink bill to exchange the account for the second time, using a book that was difficult for others to detect according to the cover. The fake ledger replaced the two volumes of water transportation ledgers from last autumn and winter, and then threw them into his sleeve robe in a deceptive way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Ren An, who was supposed to count the new accounts of the coin furnace himself, appear at the door of the duty hall, followed by four attendants.

Ren An bowed to the officials inside, and without waiting for them to say anything, he raised his hand and pointed directly at Yan Chang, and said in a bad tone: "Officer Yan Cang, I have something to ask you, please come with me."

Before Yan Chang could answer, Ren An waved his hand, and the attendant drew his sword out of its sheath, and wanted to take him away. Yan Chang struggled suddenly, and knocked down one of the attendants. He fell out, and in a panic, the attendant's leg was directly cut by his saber, and the other attendants hurriedly held Yan Chang down.

Ren An glanced at the attendant who was lying on the ground hugging his bleeding leg and crying, and said, "Take it down and treat it."

After saying that, Ren An took Yan Chang away, and the attendant was carried down—this attendant was the person who worked as Yan Chang's internal response in Ren An's house that day. In the chaos just now, Yan Chang had already secretly stuffed the account book into the Under his robe, all he has to do is hand it over to Xu Ming who is outside the duty hall.

Not long after, the ledger was sent to the old warehouse by Xu Ming, and Zhao Liangyue took it and flipped through it, seeing ten lines at a glance, and the paper leaves were flying at his fingertips.

Xu Ming said: "Master Zhao, Lord Yan has been taken away by Ren An."

Zhao Liangyue frowned upon hearing this, and said, "Did something happen to the black market?"

The three of them discussed before that if there is an emergency today, let the servants in the house tell Ren An that half of the batch of guns cannot be used, so as to attract his attention.

"Yes." Xu Ming said, "Ren An's people found that Mr. Zhao got into our car, but because they are not sure about your identity, they only came to report today. Zhenghou is outside the mine, waiting to be notified."

"So, prepare to leave immediately." Zhao Liangyue put away the books in his hand, and said, "As I expected, there is indeed a problem with these two books."

"Okay, I will arrange for Mr. Zhao to leave now." Xu Ming said, "It was just a little while in the morning, and Ren An suddenly added guards, and he could only enter but not exit, so we have to dig out from the main mining area."

Zhao Liangyue knew what Xu Ming was worried about. The reason why the guards at the back of the main mining area were lax was because the mountain road was rugged and there were many cliffs, which made it extremely difficult to walk. The one who crossed that mountain.

Zhao Liangyue cupped his hands towards Xu Ming, and said: "This is not a rich and idle person. He even ate dead rat meat when he was young, and he was not afraid of mountains of knives and seas of fire, let alone a slightly rough way of life today? Master Xu just arranges it. "

Xu Ming nodded, cupped his fists at Zhao Liangyue and went out.

Zhao Liangyue thought about it, quietly entered Yan Chang's room through the side door, walked around an old screen, opened a cabinet in the corner, and pushed up the cabinet against the wall. Zhao Liangyue leaned over to hide in the dark hole that could only accommodate one person, then closed the cabinet door and pulled down the cabinet panel.

After a while, someone from Ren An came into the warehouse and the room to check, and left after rummaging through the boxes.

After about a stick of incense, Youbai came back, left the courtyard with Zhao Liangyue, and headed north along the hidden road.

Thanks to Xu Ming's supervision, they successfully bypassed the guards all the way and entered the main mine.

Youbai gave Zhao Liangyue the map of the main mining area that Xu Ming had given him, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, I just asked Mr. Xu to go with us, but he refused, saying he wanted to stay and save Mr. Yan."

"The so-called friendship between life and death is like this."

When Zhao Liangyue said these words, he almost immediately had in his mind the situation that Bandit Chu bowed to him that day, and then unconsciously said: "Friends of life and death, it should be like this."

Afterwards, Zhao Liangyue slid his finger back and forth on the map, quickly found a way to leave safely, and walked to the depths of the main mining area with Youbai.

On the southern border of Tang County, there is a stone tablet on the mountainside, and most of Tang County can be seen from a bird's eye view.

Bandit Chu and the others rushed here at full speed, and everyone's clothes were covered in blood after the fierce battle.

Zhuo Chuan looked at Chu Bandit's shoulder, and proposed again: "Master Chu, I'd better take someone to bring Master Zhao out."

The shoulder injury of Chu Bandit was affected again during the fight. At this time, the blood soaked through his outer shirt and stained half of his shoulder red. He simply bandaged it with cloth strips, but he didn't care about his injury. He just looked straight at it with a pair of peach blossom eyes. The iron mine on the mountainside in the distance.

"No, you stay here to respond."

Zhuo Chuan knew that there was no room for negotiation, so he stepped forward to confirm the future plan with Chu Bandit, and then acted separately.

It is sinking to the west day by day, and the wind is blowing.

Zhao Liangyue used a branch as a stick, and Youbai walked cautiously along the cliff for nearly an hour and a half, and finally turned over the main mine.

Youbai helped Zhao Liangyue sit down in front of a tree, picked leaves and rolled them into cups, and went to the nearby stream to fetch water for Zhao Liangyue to drink.

Zhao Liangyue drank the water, and after a while, he realized that the skin on his palm had been rubbed by the branches.

Youbai knelt down and gave Zhao Liangyue a blow, and said, "Master, is our next step going south to meet Master Chu?"

Zhao Liangyue nodded, took out the account book in his arms and handed it to Youbai.

Youbai looked at Zhao Liangyue suspiciously, and then immediately understood, knowing that his young master meant that if an accident happened later, let him go with the account book first.

Youbai turned sideways, but did not answer.

Zhao Liangyue smiled lightly, and said, "It's really become a little smarter."

Youbai's tone was firm: "I don't care, there is nothing more important than your son anyway, if you die, I won't live anymore."

"What kind of nonsense is this? At this time, don't act like a child."

Youbai turned back, looked at Zhao Liangyue with curled lips, and said, "If you continue to insist on giving me the ledger, I will tear it up on the spot, and then take you back to Maozhou!"

Zhao Liangyue asked: "Then you don't want to take care of the teacher's affairs? Don't you want officials like Wang Yunming to get retribution?"

Youbai said: "That's different, son, you are in front of me now, I can't leave you, and I definitely won't."

Zhao Liangyue sighed helplessly, couldn't help but smile, kept silent, put away the account book, and said, "I really can't do anything about you."

After a short rest, the two set off again.

After traveling south for about five miles, they could see the Zhennan Army riding horses in the distance looking for them.

Zhao Liangyue and Youbai bypassed them and walked for a while, when they reached a valley, Youbai stopped suddenly.

"My lord, the ambush here is so secretive, I didn't notice it just now in the distance." Youbai said as he drew out the saber from his waist.

There was no wind, but the surrounding vegetation suddenly swayed, and the Southern Army from Baiyu Town, who was waiting here, appeared.

"This person is Zhao Liangyue, kill without mercy!"

In just an instant, the light of a sword is like a shadow of a sword.

Zhao Liangyue said: "Youbai, there is a hillside to the south, let's go there."

Youbai nodded, cut back several Zhennan soldiers who rushed up with a knife, turned around to protect Zhao Liangyue and climbed south.

When they reached the hillside, the two were surrounded by the Zhennan Army who had arrived one after another.

"Lord Zhao, it really is Long Zhang Feng Zi who looks so good."

In the Zhennan Army, a general in iron armor came on horseback and looked down at Zhao Liangyue, his eyes were fierce and his face was full of arrogance.

Zhao Liang took a quick look at him, guessed his identity, and said in a calm tone, "It's really a surprise that General Dai came to arrest Zhao in person."

Dai Tiancheng smiled, and said: "Master Zhao and Master Chu are both disgusting rats, inside and outside the court, and in the world, there is no one who does not despise them. Now I am taking the side of the Holy Lord, and it is only right, but," Dai Tiancheng tilted his head and looked Zhao Liangyue up and down, showing a wretched smile, "Master Zhao is obviously a good-looking mouse. Originally, I wanted to take the head and take it back to explain, but now I have changed my mind."

"Why don't you take your beautiful mouse home and raise it for a few days, so that all the soldiers can play with it, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Zhennan Army laughed, and their gazes at Zhao Liangyue also became naked and dirty, as if they wanted to take off his clothes on the spot.

Youbai felt disgusted when he heard that, wished he could goug these people's eyes, stopped in front of Zhao Liangyue, and yelled at Dai Tiancheng: "My son, how can you do it!"

"You are the kid who is rumored to be very good at martial arts." Dai Tiancheng looked at Youbai's eyes that were flushed from anger, and said with a smile, "I like your eyes very much, just like wolf cubs, being human and animal is simply the best. "
