The person who captured the messenger finally showed up, and it was exactly the same as he had guessed before. It was indeed the action of the group of Jinyiwei hidden in the city.

But Hua Li didn't have any sense of accomplishment after the prediction was confirmed. On the contrary, he was full of helplessness at this moment.

Because he knew that Huang Long, who was gathering people and planning to attack the group of Jinyiwei who were escorting treasures, would never be willing to draw the masters who had gathered and hidden into the city in order to encircle these Jinyiwei in the city.

He can still clearly distinguish between the original and the end.

Unless he can prove to Huanglong that the value or threat of these Jinyiwei in the city is greater than the group of Jinyiwei who are rushing out of the city.

But obviously, in his opinion, this was simply impossible.

Judging from all the information collected by these Jinyiwei in the city, the highest official rank is only a hundred households. The group of Jinyiwei outside the city who were rushing to Hongdu Prefecture was led by Chen Yanqing, a thousand households, and there were several hundred households under his command.

They also need to concentrate their strength, and at the same time they can only ambush one side and launch a general attack. How to choose between one hundred households and one thousand households, and several hundred households? Anyone with a little bit of official rank and number concept in their heads will choose the bigger one.

Not to mention, in addition to a thousand households and hundreds of households, the group of Jinyiwei outside the city also had the most resentment of Huanglong and Jitian in the Tianyan Sect, who wanted to arrest him and cut him off, and the treasure worth more than 100,000 taels worth of treasure that originally belonged to them, but was snatched by Jinyiwei.

Even Huali's own balance, after a little weighing, he turned straightforwardly to the group of Jinyiwei who ambushed outside the city to escort treasures.

However, the Jinyiwei in the city seemed to have guessed this, so he began to be arrogant and seemed to have a tendency to intercept and kill the messenger who conveyed the message with all his might. If he ignored it, the problem would still be quite big.

After all, if you want to deal with the group of Jinyiwei who escort treasures, you must always know the direction of the deal, otherwise your eyes will be dark, like a blind man or a deaf man. No matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to cause any damage to the other party at all if he cannot find the other party.

But even if the weak Tianzhu division in his hands is really spread out to fight against the other party, he is obviously not an opponent.

In desperation, Hua Li had to ask for Huang Long to see Huang Long again with an extremely nervous mood and explain all this to Huang Long. Although he did not say a request to let Huang Long make a decision, he had already said this to this point, and he was obviously only in his heart.

Unfortunately, although Huang Long heard his request, he pushed back the problem to him.

"Don't avoid the edge and tell the messenger outside the city that unless you encounter emergency and important news, other news will no longer be sent to the city frequently."

Facing the answer given by Huang Long that sounded like surrender and surrender, Hua Li was naturally a little disappointed. But at the same time, he also heard some situations he had never known before.

He did not believe that Huang Long would not have thought that the news would not be spread smoothly into the city, nor did he believe that Huang Long would be willing to be controlled by others.

Therefore, there is only one situation that can explain the Huanglong exception.

Huang Long had planned everything, and might have even sent all the gathered masters out of the city. After preparing the encirclement, the Jinyiwei who was escorting the treasures into the street.

Only this possibility can explain why Huanglong is so "calm".

Because he had already transferred everything outside the city, even if the spies outside the city could not send the news into the city in time, it would be enough to let the ambushers know the movements of the Jinyiwei.

Moreover, in this way, it may be able to confuse the Jinyiwei in turn, making the Jinyiwei confused.

"I understand."

Hua Li, who was "understood" in his heart, nodded and replied, his voice was neither sad nor happy, and he sounded plain and without any emotion, but in his heart, a huge disappointment had already enveloped him.

Fortunately, he had given the position of Tianzhu Xingjun to Huang Long before. Because of his appreciation and trust in him, he has been diligent and responsible since taking office, and has tried his best to support the Tianzhu Division, which has greatly lost its strength, and tried his best to complete the tasks assigned to him by Huang Long, even if it is far beyond his load, which makes him miserable.

Now, reality is like pouring a pot of ice water mixed with ice. While he was completely awake, he also felt that the originally boiling blood was instantly frozen.

It turns out that he never trusted me.

...

After a while in the county government last night, Bai Shier disappeared into everyone's eyes again. Even though Hu Xiaolin finally pried open Dong Chuanxing's mouth with various means, and then found the house where he and Bai Shier were staying at the address provided by Dong Chuanxing, he had no gains at all.

What made Hu Xiaolin feel like he had seen a ghost was that the house where Dong Chuanxing was originally very deserted and there was no one else except him and Bai Shier. When he came to the door, there were three generations of grandparents and grandchildren living inside, full of a large family of seven people.

After inquiring about the neighbors around, I got the news that the family had lived in this house for decades.

Although he could not figure out what was going on, Hu Xiaolin had to give up his plan to continue looking for Bai Shier's traces.

And he was comforting himself in his heart. Since even he, the dialogue Bai Shier, was already very familiar with him, and even Dong Chuanxing, could not find Bai Shier's traces, it would undoubtedly be a fantasy for the enemy to discover Bai Shier.

In this way, he should not worry too much about the safety of the princess Zhu Jinxuan, who was protected by Bai Shier.

But what Hu Xiaolin didn't know was that when he left half disappointed and half comforted, Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan stood in front of another house not far from him and watched his back move away.

"I knew that Lao Hu would definitely not give up."

After Hu Xiaolin's figure finally disappeared around the corner, Bai Shier, who was disguised, took Zhu Jinxuan's hand and walked back to the yard. Of course, he did not forget to boast about Zhu Jinxuan with a little pride.

"Luckily I had a hand before."

"Okay, Hutong Zhi is also considering my safety."

Zhu Jinxuan couldn't help but poke him and signaled him to restrain himself.

"And the most important thing at the moment is not to avoid the Hutong Zhi and others?"

"Don't worry, I know it."

Bai Shier smiled unabated on his face, patted his chest and said.

He was full of confidence.

However, after the turn of the sky, he found that he seemed to be overconfident.

...

At night, Chen Yanqing was savoring the good wine sent by the tax collector on the dock in Fuzhou a hundred miles away from Hongdu Prefecture City, while looking into the direction of Hongdu Prefecture City in the dark.

In fact, since he came out of the mountains of Fujian Provincial Administration and entered the Jiangxi Provincial Administration, the speed of Ganjiang River should actually be much faster than before. However, in order to attract the remnants of the Tianyan Sect and then catch them all in one place and get rich contributions, since he entered the Jiangxi Provincial Administration, the speed has been much slower under his orders. Moreover, he changed his previous low-keyness and played the Jinyiwei sign very high-profile. He even put on the thousand-household uniforms himself, as if he was afraid that others would not know his identity.

Even if the hundreds of families under him did not have his ventilation, they had guessed what he thought in his heart. However, no matter how much they guessed, they did not support his seemingly adventurous plan.

After all, as long as this batch of treasures worth more than 100,000 taels can be safely delivered to Yingtian by a state capital in a year, the credit will not be eliminated. Why do you have to risk the treasures being stolen or even worry about your life to carry out this dangerous plan?

However, the Jinyiwei Clerks and strong men below seemed to have not felt any risk, and enjoyed the feeling of being flirted with furious horses and showing off their achievements along the way. After entering the territory of the Jiangxi Provincial Administration, they became more and more drifty.

If it weren't for the hundreds of households on their heads, the general flag and other bosses who knew the severity and danger were suppressed, they would have been furious along the way.

Mu Yixing, the "traitors" of Tianyan Sect, are much more sober than those of the Jinyiwei Clerks and the strong men. Of course, this may be because they were once a member of the Tianyan Sect, and they had a relatively clear understanding of the strength of the Tianyan Sect.

Therefore, along the way, although they were very dissatisfied and even angry at Chen Yanqing's actions as cannon fodder, which caused them to be killed or injured, they still told Chen Yanqing every day that the Tianyan Sect's strength is not to be underestimated and should not be careless.

As betrayers, they are undoubtedly the group of people who are most afraid of failure.

Especially those who have seen Huang Long like Mu Yixing, who at least have some understanding of Huang Long's character, know in their hearts what the outcome would be if they really failed this time and fell into Huang Long's hands again.

This is also the reason why there has been no recurrence or escape since they surrendered to the Jinyiwei.

The moment they chose to betray, they had no room for any change with Tianyan Sect, Huang Long, and their original companions.

They have reached a situation where either you die or I die.

If they escape from the control of the Jinyiwei, they will not gain freedom, but endless pursuit from Tianyan Sect.

Of course, there are also smart people like Mu Yixing among them, who have roughly seen Chen Yanqing's thoughts, but they are still worried that Chen Yanqing's carelessness will burn himself to death. While burning himself to death, they will also be wiped out by the dependents of him.

Therefore, as we got closer to Hongdu Prefecture City, Mu Yixing and others became more and more alert.

The pressure brought by the Tianyan Sect was so great that even the Tianyan Sect members who had defected to Mu Yixing before, who had defected to other hundreds of households, saw that most of them were not concerned about Chen Yanqing, from thousands of households to Xiaoqi, they all abandoned their previous dislike and disgust for Mu Yixing, and began to cooperate with Mu Yixing and acted on alert together.

...

The fleet was docked at the dock in Fuzhou, and surrounded by yamen runners and tax officials, most of the Jinyiwei in the fleet had begun to relax, especially when Chen Yanqing's control was very relaxed, and there were even many brave guys who had run to the city and led by Fuzhou's "local snake" to find a dark scene or half-closing the door, and have fun.

"Who?!"

But when a black shadow quietly approached the fleet, a low cry still came out of the darkness. Then, a figure walked out from the darkness that the moonlight could not shine, holding his hand on the hilt of the knife around his waist, and looking at the shadow vigilantly, slowly approaching.

Obviously this is the secret whistle set up by the "traitors" of the Tianyan Sect who are most vigilant in the fleet.

Although only one person has appeared for the time being, it is conceivable that in the darkness that more moonlight cannot shine, there are still more hidden secret whistles that are now silent, but when you find that the situation is wrong, you can start a sudden attack at any time.

"Let him in."

But just as the very vigilant whistle wanted to ask for another question, a familiar voice came from the bow of the ship, and the voice seemed to have a commanding tone.

"Go and see if there is a tail behind you. If so, cut it clean."

The sound rang again, still with the command tone of the superior who could not be refused. Whether it was the secret whistle that had appeared or the secret whistle that was hiding in the dark, he knew the owner of the sound as early as the first time this sound rang.

The leader of this operation is Chen Yanqing, a thousand households of Jinyiwei.

'This should be Chen Yanqing's backup plan.'

There were many secret whistles that could have seen Chen Yanqing's thoughts, and I immediately understood it in my heart.

So my heart that had been hanging around finally calmed down a lot.

As long as Chen Yanqing, the person in charge, has a clear mind, the matter should not develop to the point where it is too bad.

Of course, the premise is that they must cut the possible tails cleanly so that the news will not be transmitted back to Tianyan Sect and into Huanglong's ears.

The secret whistle that appeared once again escaped into the darkness, as if it had never appeared before, but both the black shadows who were questioned by him and Chen Yanqing who was drinking at the bow of the boat knew that he and his companions should have dispersed to find possible tails to follow.

"Zeng Yiming met Chen Qianhu."

The black shadow jumped onto the boat, rushed to the bow, took off the mask covering his face, showed his true face, and saluted Chen Yanqing, which was Zeng Yiming, the head of the East Factory.

"Don't be fooled by others, sit down and talk."

Chen Yanqing waved his hand and signaled him to sit down. He picked up the wine pot and poured him a glass.
