Chapter 249: Where does the young general want to go?

Just when I finished packing, I was told that I couldn’t leave.

The prisoners all had surprised expressions and didn't know what was going on.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Ah? You're not leaving? That's great!"

"You leave one moment and then don't leave the next. Are you kidding me? Go to hell and go back to sleep."

There was a lot of noise in the group of fugitives. Tian Su'e was taking Manager Tian and Xiong Jiushan for a walk in Wulibao, and they were also talking about the recent events in Yucheng.

Xiong Jiushan just listened casually at first, but when he heard that the bandits often threatened the governor of Yucheng, asking him to come down the mountain to visit the city from time to time, he stopped.

"How dare a bandit leader threaten an imperial official?"

Tian Su'e was wearing comfortable casual clothes that made it easy for her to walk. Seeing Xiong Jiushan stop, she also stopped and said, "The city guard is helpless. The youngest son and grandson of the Cui family in Yucheng are both in the mountains. The city guard has failed to rescue them, failed to suppress the bandits, and has no way to report them. The gentry is also pressuring him. With pressure from all sides, it's hard to say whether the city guard can keep his official position and his life, let alone redress the injustice for us people."

Xiong Jiushan said, "Miss Tian, ​​even if you beg me, I can't possibly interfere with local government affairs for the sake of your Tian family. I hope you understand."

"I understand this." Tian Su'e was not discouraged by the warning in the other party's words. Instead, she pointed to the northwest and said, "Most of the yamen runners in Yucheng have been seconded by the officials in the prefectural yamen. On weekdays, there are only a few people left in the yamen. Although our Tian family has some servants and tenants, we can usually protect ourselves, but..." She could not say the rest of the sentence and could only say sincerely, "Please, sir, take the officers and soldiers to stay for a few more days, just a few days. The Tian family will definitely repay you."

Xiong Jiushan waved his hand, "This matter has already been discussed, there is no need to say more. I promised you, and I will not go back on my word."

Tian Su'e's expression relaxed, and she took Xiong Jiushan to get a general understanding of the general situation of Tianjiabao.

Far away, among the crowd of prisoners.

Someone was staring at the men and women walking back and forth in the distance, and ignored the group of people following behind them.

Xie Wuying was squatting next to Xie Yuchuan and Zhang Dayi, watching them play chess.

On the way to exile, he saw that they were the only two people who had this interest.

“Puff, puff—”

A short onomatopoeic voice sounded from the door. Xie Wuying turned around and saw that it was the guard Xie Changan. He quickly stood up and said, "Sir, Sixth Brother, I'm going to go out for a moment!"

"Be careful." Xie Yuchuan said without raising his head.

"Don't worry."

Zhang Dayi looked up and saw Xie Wuying holding the arm of his bodyguard Xie Changan. The two of them seemed to be talking about some little secret as they walked out. He was a little puzzled when he heard Xie Yuchuan urging him.

"Sir, it's your turn."

Zhang Dayi came back to his senses, looked at the situation, and dropped a stone, "You are relieved."

"Don't worry. When young people act, they either succeed or fail. It's nothing. Gains and losses are all experiences. Before you can take, you must first give." He suddenly raised his hand and picked up a few pieces. "Sir, it's your turn."

Zhang Dayi lowered his eyes, "Great, so they're waiting for me to join in here."

Xie Yuchuan casually played with a few round stones in his hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but said nothing.

The two chatted as they went down.

I'm surrounded by my family, so there's nothing to worry about.

"The matter of suppressing bandits is of great importance. If you are not careful, given the current situation of the Xie family, you will probably face the death penalty and there will be no possibility of turning things around." Zhang Dayi kindly reminded.

However, his tone didn't indicate any concern about what Xie Yuchuan was planning to do. Instead, he believed that if he went with the flow and made this move, it might change his situation, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

"There are really a lot of good things in that den of thieves?" Zhang Dayi said with a sigh, lamenting the brutality of the bandits.

Xie Yuchuan put down the gravel in his hand and followed closely to the position where Zhang Dayi had just stepped down.

"If Han Qiguang says there is, then there must be."

Zhang Dayi nodded.

Xie Yuchuan stared at the chessboard, pondered for a moment, and said, "The bandit leader has someone from the capital behind him instigating him. Any circumvention method Xiong Jiushan devises will be useless. It's better to tear open a hole and attack the heart, dispersing all the Qi and meridians."

He lowered his eyes to ponder the direction, "The journey outside the pass is difficult. I heard from Han Qiguang that there are many horses in the mountains."

Xie Yuchuan looked up at Zhang Dayi.

"If it's sir, would you rob it or not?"

Zhang Dayi couldn't help but laugh and said, "If I could have that kind of arm wrestling ability, I'd be really tempted."

Xie Yuchuan smiled slightly.

"Yu Heng thinks so too."

"Our strength is a bit weak." Zhang Dayi said, "It's difficult to deal with the officials."

"That's Xiong Jiushan's problem. I only care about my people." Xie Yuchuan coughed lightly with a hollow fist, watching Zhang Dayi play chess. He raised his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "Strength will always come if you save up."

"The chessboard is only this big. Where does the general want to take it?"

"Take the land that Xie Yuchuan can take."

Once a move is made, the winner is clear.

It is impossible for him to always be protected by the family gods and make the difficult journey to Laozhou. If Xie Yuchuan can take good care of his family along the way, why would the family gods have to work hard for them and worry about them everywhere?

After the two of them finished speaking, Xie Wuying also brought back the latest news.

"Sixth brother, I found out."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Xie Yuchuan and Zhang Dayi leaned over to listen.

"Chang An got news from others. He said that the bandit leader of Panlong Ridge has always wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Tian family as his wife. He was tricked by the eldest daughter of the Tian family before, and he holds a grudge against her. He has been spreading rumors that when he is done with his important business, he will come to Tianjiabao to grab the bride."

When Zhang Dayi heard this, his brows furrowed in knots.

"Is there anyone who is so shameless?"

"That's right, sir. Those people are murderers and robbers. It's common for them to rob women." Xie Wuying said.

Zhang Hanlin shook his head repeatedly.

Xie Yuchuan asked: "How many days will the team stay?"

"I heard it's three days, but I'm not sure. It seems the bandit leader sent someone to the Tian Family Candy Shop in Yucheng to tell them to prepare fruits and wedding candies in three days, saying he's coming to get married."

Zhang Dayi's eyes were slightly surprised: "Where did you get this kind of information?"

Xie Wuying scratched his head and chuckled, "I borrowed two pieces of candy from Huaizhang and asked the people in Tianjiabao."

"sharp."

Xie Yuchuan took out a handful of candy and gave it to Xie Wuying.

"Go ahead and continue to ask questions. I want all the information I can get about the Tian family, as well as their past grudges with that bandit."

Xie Wuying lowered his head, "Sixth Brother, maybe..."

Xie Yuchuan:?

"Not quite enough."

"Go get it yourself. You have only one handful to finish this."

"Okay, Sixth Brother, wait for my news."

Xie Wuying took a handful of refined milk candies made with modern technology and went out to talk to people. As he was talking, he led Tian Qing, the old manager of the Tian family who came back with Miss Tian.

"Sixth brother..." Xie Wuying lowered his head, like a quail who had made a mistake.

"Don't blame me, my dear. I have something on my mind and I'd like to ask this young man to lead the way, so I came to bother you." Tian Qing said in a humble tone.

Looking at the handsome and elegant young man in front of me.

I was very confused. Could the convicts of today be worthy of carrying such refined sugar on their bodies during their exile?
