"Tea? Where to go."

"old place."

"What's the old place?"

"Um, Yunshui Pavilion. I was talking to Liulang just now."

"Oh, you men have quite a lot of code words." She nodded.

"..." someone.

About an hour later.

On the bank of Xunyang River, on the third floor of Yunshui Pavilion, at the door of a certain box, Yan Liulang held a knife and was on guard.

In the box.

There were two men and one woman, sitting on their knees in front of the small coffee table, drinking tea.

Ouyang Rong and Qin Heng met again and sat down face to face.

Xie Lingjiang sat next to Ouyang Rong and did not touch the cup of tea that her senior brother had made for her in front of the table. She looked at the room with a slightly strange look on her pretty face, including a bed, a bathtub, towels, neatly folded men's bathrobes, etc.

Object of tea room.

Ouyang Rong and Qin Heng couldn't care about these side details for a while and went straight to the point.

"Does Changshi Ouyang know about Guizhou?" Qin Heng asked seriously.

Ouyang Rong looked at Qin Heng, who looked a little depressed and troubled, and nodded gently:

"I've heard a little bit. General Qin should know more. Can you tell me more about it?"

Qin Heng nodded and sighed:

"I found out a little later. It was Governor Wang who suddenly summoned us to discuss the matter last night. I only found out about it. We argued in the military camp outside the city all night... As a result, this morning, the news spread throughout the city. It seems that the matter is about to come.

, unable to suppress it anymore, Governor Wang had to say it."

Ouyang Rong ignored these and asked directly:

"I just want to know, did these 1,500 garrison soldiers attack Guizhou Prefecture at that time?"

"No, they just want to go north and return home, and they haven't done anything treasonous or evil."

"Do you carry weapons?"

"Bring it with me." Qin Heng closed his eyes and sighed: "We captured the weapons and armor of the Military Supervisory Academy."

"What about Lan Changhao? The mutiny he provoked, will he die or live?"

"Still alive and well."

Qin Heng gritted his teeth and said in a bitter tone:

"This Lan Changhao is smart. When he announced the postponement, he ordered Lieutenant Xu, who was in charge of the garrison, to go to the military camp outside the city and announce that he would stay far away in the palace inside the city, drinking tea and waiting.

"As a result, the border guards objected on the spot. They wanted to return home to reunite with their wives, children, and children, but they were denied permission to go back because the demobilized soldiers did not have enough pay.

"Then the soldiers no longer believed in the words of the Guizhou government, and were probably desperate to return home. At that time, they didn't know who was the instigator. They all rushed over in anger, became red-eyed, and killed Xu Dutou and two Du Yu on the spot.

Finally, a popular Duyu named Cai Qin was elected as the leader, the camp was destroyed, the warehouses were robbed, and everyone returned north."

Ouyang Rong immediately asked: "Who is this Cai Qin? Is he from Jiangzhou or Hongzhou?"

"Hongzhou was originally affiliated with the Fourth Zhechong Prefecture. Most of these 1,500 soldiers are Hongzhou soldiers. We, the 300 soldiers from Jiangzhou, can only be regarded as coerced into them and followed them back to the north."

Ouyang Rong cross-examined carefully:

"In our Jiangzhou No. 3 Zhechong Mansion, did the captain named Su Qian take the lead in instigating the killing of the superior?"

"I don't know, probably not. I know Brother Su's character. He is not a thorn in the side of causing trouble. This time he will be forced to follow. Unfortunately, it is difficult to turn back now."

Qin Heng sighed sadly:

"Lord Ouyang doesn't know something. Soldiers love drinking and martial arts. Once the army mutinies and is in that kind of atmosphere, sometimes they can do anything. When they wake up later, it will be too late to regret."

Ouyang Rong's expression remained unchanged and he continued to ask:

"Where are these garrison soldiers returning from the north now?"

"The latest news is that they just entered Yongzhou ten years ago."

Ouyang Rong was slightly relieved. Fortunately, Yongzhou is within the territory of Jiangnan Road, but it is at the junction of Lingnan Road and Jiangnan Road.

Hongzhou and Jiangzhou are located north of the center of Jiangnan Road, on an important waterway in the middle section of the Yangtze River.

These garrison soldiers were either confused and regretful after waking up, fearful of being accused of rebellion, or they temporarily lacked enough ships to carry 1,500 people by water.

Therefore, the speed is far less than that of the 800-mile express message. Now we have only traveled half the distance between Guizhou and Jiangzhou, so there should be a lot of buffering time.

What's more, most of the 1,500 mutinous garrison soldiers were Hongzhou soldiers. They would definitely return to Hongzhou City first, and Jiangzhou would be ranked behind, so the risk was slightly smaller.

“Were there any conflicts along the way?”

"Master Ouyang should know that on Lingnan Road, the local indigenous people are already powerful, and the local government is short of money and food, so most of them are 'ruling by doing nothing'. For the time being, no local government dares to stop it, so it is considered unimpeded. Even..."

"That's fine. Even what?"

"I heard that when they were leaving the country in Guizhou and other places, some villagers along the way sympathized with them and gave them food and water."

Ouyang Rong was silent.

Qin Heng couldn't help but said:

"Our Zhechong Prefecture officers are originally from military families. We are all carefully selected sons of good families. We used to defend the country's borders and defend against enemies. We have a great spirit. How can we be the kind of bandits with poor military discipline? I will eventually believe it.

As long as we are not at the end of the road and run out of water and food, we will not harass the people in the states and counties along the way."

As if thinking of something, he worried again:

"Sir Ouyang, Governor Wang seems to have written a memorial. He called us over today to ask the generals from the Zhe Chong Mansion to sign it together to testify for him. General Yang, Sun Changshi, and Coach Du have all signed it."

Ouyang Rong nodded and praised: "He must be fast in this regard."

"I understand, thank you General Qin for clearing up the confusion."

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then slowly stood up and prepared to take Xie Lingjiang away.

The two of them walked to the door. Qin Heng, who was sitting alone drinking tea, immediately turned around:

"Master Ouyang, Colonel Su and the others... can they return safely?"

Ouyang Rong paused for a moment, "I can't guarantee it, but I can promise to do my best."

After returning to the carriage in Yunshui Pavilion, Ouyang Rong immediately said to Xie Lingjiang:

"Follow me back to Huaiye Lane. I want to send two letters.

"One letter is a memorial sent to the court in Shendu.

"The letter is a letter, sent to Master, and must explain the details of the matter. Master's letter, follow the clan's route, and send it to the teacher for delivery on your behalf."
