Chapter 242 Do you think he is real or fake?

Hundreds of miles away, Xie Yuchuan met his good friend Han Qiguang.

After leaving the tea stall in Songjiang Town, Han Qiguang seemed to have disappeared.

The lack of news was actually good news, indicating that Han Qiguang was safe and sound. Xie Yuchuan secretly calculated the distance he would take, protecting his family while dealing with accidents on the road to exile.

Xiong Jiushan turned around and said in a deep voice, "I asked the village for capable people. The people in the fort recommended Taoist Guanghan. They asked you to come here tonight for something."

"Let's make it short."

Xiong Jiushan spread the simple map on the ground and said, "In exile, keep everything simple."

"Your Excellency is too kind. This is very good. It is clear at a glance." Han Qiguang knelt down with the title of "Master Guanghan".

Xie Yuchuan stood beside the map and raised the shackles on his neck with both hands.

Xiong Jiushan called the guards over: "Remove the shackles from Xie Yuchuan."

After removing the shackles, Xie Yuchuan rubbed his stiff neck and finally felt much more comfortable. He clenched his wrists and squatted down opposite Taoist Guanghan.

Although Xie Yuchuan was called over, Xiong Jiushan actually consulted Taoist Guanghan for a long time, but Xie Yuchuan did not say a word.

As they chatted, Xiong Jiushan discovered that Taoist Guanghan was indeed very familiar with the terrain and environment of the Longling Mountains. With such skill, he had already added several points that needed attention in the middle section.

Xie Yuchuan glanced at him, his eyes flickering slightly.

When Xiong Jiushan lowered his head to modify the map, the two people's eyes met above Xiong Jiushan's head.

The two communicated silently and actually understood each other.

Han Qiguang went to Panlongling to scout out the terrain before they arrived here.

As expected, it’s Han Qiguang.

Seeing that he understood, Han Qiguang shook his head at him again, but the amplitude was barely noticeable.

Xie Yuchuan's heart sank, and he thought, it seems I have to find an opportunity to talk to Han Qiguang alone.

For most of the day, Xiong Jiushan didn't ask him anything, but he watched the whole process of Xiong Jiushan and Han Qiguang discussing and revising the document.

While Xie Yuchuan was watching, he was surprised from time to time by some of the insights that Xiong Jiushan accidentally mentioned. His calm eyes inadvertently swept over Xiong Jiushan who was thinking hard about how to "solve the problem" safely.

On the opposite side, Han Qiguang raised the corners of his eyebrows, and the look he gave Xiong Jiushan was surprisingly the same as Xie Yuchuan's.

After much deliberation, Xiong Jiushan decided to send out a small team first to personally investigate the situation around the stronghold.

Here comes the problem.

Who to send.

In this matter, Xiong Jiushan looked up at Xie Yuchuan for the first time, but the latter shook his head.

"We are convicts."

The implication is that status is too sensitive.

Moreover, if other fugitives were used in this way, it might be fine, but for the Xie family, it would be like handing their own weaknesses over to others.

At that time, reporting anyone and charging them with the crime of "intention to flee" will disrupt the current balance.

There is no need for that, Xie Yuchuan felt.

However, he did mention one person, "Cheng Baihu is a man of prudence and tact."

Xiong Jiushan thought for a while. He knew that Xie Yuchuan's words had a hidden meaning, but his suggestion was still the most appropriate one.

"Master Guanghan, why don't you stay with the team and go together?"

It's rare to hear these words coming from Xiong Jiushan's mouth.

Han Qiguang accepted it with pleasure.

After finishing the business, "Master Guanghan" went out first, and Xiong Jiushan kept Xie Yuchuan for a while.

Xie Yuchuan looked at Han Qiguang's receding figure, hesitated for a moment, and reminded him: "I don't know the other party's background. Sir Xiong, aren't you worried about provoking such a person?"

"What are you worried about?"

Xiong Jiushan glanced at him and said, "Your Xie family is the biggest hot potato. I'm not worried about you. A cultivator like you shouldn't be able to cause much trouble."

Xie Yuchuan thought to himself, I hope you won’t regret what you said today in the future.

"fine."

"Then I'll go back." Xie Yuchuan saw that Xiong Jiushan asked him to come over, which seemed to be a spur of the moment request, but it was also a perfect invitation.

What did Xiong Jiushan suspect?

He turned to leave when Xiong Jiushan called him.

"Xie Yuchuan, do you think this Taoist priest is real or fake?"

Xie Yuchuan was slightly stunned. It turned out that someone was waiting for him in this place.

"Is this a real or fake Taoist? My Lord, do you know?"

I didn't know I still chatted so much with others.

Xiong Jiushan narrowed his eyes, then suddenly smiled and said, "I'm not sure, so I asked you to come over and borrow some of my spiritual energy."

Xie Yuchuan understood.

Xiong Jiushan stared at him.

Xie Yuchuan thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It's true."

Is Han Qiguang a cultivator? If you think about it carefully, he is.

When he was young, his parents sent him to a temple to avoid a life-threatening disaster. He became a monk and was fostered there for a period of time. Now he is a lay disciple.

Xie Yuchuan was self-aware and didn't really lie.

With Han Qiguang's ability, even if he can't perform the role to perfection, it will be easy for him to play it in his true self.

Xiong Jiushan was reassured by Xie Yuchuan.

He had a vague feeling that something was not right, but after weighing it over and over again, he realized that even if there was a problem, his loss would not be big, but if he did it well, he could make a lot of profit. Comparing the two, he chose the greater one.

After Xie Yuchuan returned, his family surrounded him.

"Why did Xiong Jiushan come to see you?"

This time, Mrs. Xie did not ask her granddaughter Xie Zhen to come and inquire, but came in person.

Xie Yuchuan looked around and said to his grandmother, Old Madam Xie, in a low voice, "Grandma, Han Qiguang is here."

Mrs. Xie looked surprised!

"Why is the Han family kid here?" After asking, he looked into the matter for a moment, then asked, "Is he chasing you?"

Xie Yuchuan nodded.

Madam Xie sighed and said, "I thought it was good enough that the Han family kid helped you in Songjiang Town. I didn't expect... I didn't expect it."

Perhaps he suddenly remembered that after the incident with the Xie family, the Han family showed no sign of showing up, but he didn't expect that Han Qiguang would follow them all the way to Qingzhou Prefecture.

"So, what does Han family boy mean?"

"We haven't met yet."

"Well, let him be more careful. People in the dark are not in an easier position than us."

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Old Lady Xie is extremely grateful that Xie Yuchuan has made friends with Xu Su and Han Qiguang, two such loyal and righteous people.

“When times are tough, you’ll know your friends. When things get tough, don’t forget the people who helped you when you needed them.”

The team stayed in Wulibao for one night.

The villagers in the fortress did not sleep late at night. After a busy day, they were too lazy to do anything else, so they took advantage of the fact that there was something going on in the village today and many of them visited each other and gathered together to think about the fugitives.

"I didn't expect so many people would be exiled together this time."

"There are quite a few women who commit crimes."

"Don't overthink it. You're a good citizen. Why do you want to marry a woman who has committed a serious crime? Just go to bed."

"When they entered the castle, I saw quite a few real water spirits."

A group of people can only use these words as a snack to satisfy their hunger, and dare not think about anything else.
