Chapter 320 Someone Arrives with a Cart of Gifts

The weather in Daliang changes every moment.

The two people who had reached a preliminary cooperation intention, looking at the current physical condition of the convicts, decided to stay in Wulibao for another night and enter Yucheng early the next morning.

Xie Yuchuan had no objection, so Xiong Jiushan asked someone to invite the eldest daughter of the Tian family.

The former went back, and the latter went to the study to wait for Tian Su'e.

Not long after, Tian Su'e came to meet him.

Although the accident happened in the early morning due to the invitation of the Tian family, the Tian family was also busy running around when the accident happened. It was reasonable for Xiong Jiushan to find no fault with the Tian family.

When Tian Su'e arrived, she was nervous, thinking that the escorting officials had finished their work and had free time, so they had time to use this as an "excuse" to make more demands.

Before coming, he had already asked the head manager Tian Qing to prepare some things.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials. She originally wanted to ask the officials and soldiers to take charge and deter the bandits, but she didn't expect that they would even dare to harass the government's team escorting the fugitives. It was simply lawless.

Tian Su'e was looking forward to the early return of those who were away from the Tian family.

When Xiong Jiushan saw her coming over with a reserved look on his face, he immediately understood what she was thinking.

"Su'e greets Lord Xiong!" Tian Su'e stood not far from the desk and nodded.

Xiong Jiushan said, "No need to be polite."

"I wonder what you want me to do, sir?"

In the study, Xiong Jiushan told her that he would enter the city tomorrow and could only stay for one day. Tian Su'e was stunned for a moment, a look of uneasiness passed across her face, but because of the changes that happened today, she could not make any more requests.

There was no intention of blaming anyone in Xiong Jiushan's words, which Tian Su'e thought was a rare act of kindness.

She nodded and could only accept this result.

Xiong Jiushan knew what she was worried about. After thinking for a moment, he said, "People have already come over there and have inquired about the situation here. I don't think Miss Tian needs to worry about them coming down the mountain to Wulibao and causing trouble again."

Tian Su'e nodded slightly. "If this is possible, it would be a great blessing from you, my Lord."

Even so, thinking of their reckless tactics this time, Tian Su'e asked, "My Lord, will you enter the city tomorrow morning? Do you have a place to stay?"

Xiong Jiushan was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm just borrowing your way."

"Yucheng is not peaceful now. Please be careful when escorting him." Tian Su'e said after a moment of hesitation.

Xiong Jiushan's eyes dimmed when he heard this.

After a moment of silence, he nodded, "Okay, thanks for the reminder."

Xie Yuchuan told him that the magistrate of Yucheng County might invite him to his house tomorrow. Tian Su'e also told him that there was unrest in the city. Xiong Jiushan had a hunch that there would be a lot of trouble in Yucheng County ahead.

Ever since he escorted the Xie family, when has Xiong Jiushan never had less trouble?

I'm used to it, Xiong Jiushan thought to himself.

After Tian Su'e returned, the shopkeeper Tian Qing came up to her and asked, "Miss, what did Lord Xiong say?"

"They're leaving tomorrow, so I'm afraid I can't stay any longer." He turned around and asked, "Brother, haven't they believed me yet?"

Tian Qing was also anxious and shook his head, saying, "The date should be approaching soon, but the people who went out to inquire about it haven't come back yet to report."

The master and servant were speechless for a moment. The officers and soldiers were escorting the fugitives away, and they no longer had the face to ask the officers to stay. The Tian family had gone out and had not returned yet, so they could defend the fort and deal with some of the problems. However, the caravan had not responded, and several families in the city had joined forces and were about to destroy the Tian family's business.

Tian Su'e has been holding on for so long and is very tired.

With so many people to take care of, the Tian family cannot fall.

Tian Qing was still thinking about the Xie family's candies. This morning, he was busy accompanying the doctors he had invited in. He discovered the Xie family's abilities and couldn't help but propose to his host again: "Miss, the Xie family not only has candies, but also has miracle medicines that can cure emergencies. They are not just any family!"

Tian Su'e looked up at him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. For a moment, she was also moved by what Manager Tian said.

But soon, Tian Su'e shook her head and said, "The medicine from the Xie family is even more effective than Doctor Lu's prescription. It's not an ordinary thing. We, the Tian family, are so small that we can't keep it."

"What about candy? Miss, are you interested?" Shopkeeper Tian felt that the Tian family could give the sweets business a try.

Tian Su'e's expression eased slightly. "The Xie family's candy is really good, but they are fugitives after all, and not ordinary fugitives." This is also the fundamental reason why she has been so worried.

"Is the eldest lady afraid of getting involved with the Xie family?"

"It's not without reason. Business matters are minor, but life and death are major. Those families in Yucheng are eager to find fault with our Tian family. They have connections in the court, and we can't do anything about it. Before my brother left, he asked me to protect our family business. If something unexpected happens and destroys our family business, how can they come back and turn things around?"

Tian Qing stood aside, not being able to persuade her any further for the moment, as his eldest daughter's considerations were not unreasonable.

While he was hesitating, a servant from the Tian family came to deliver a letter. The caravan led by the eldest son of the Tian family was "invited" to the mountain by the bandits from Qinglong Village when they came back!

"What?!"

Tian Su'e stood up suddenly and her face changed drastically!

These bastards!

Xiong Jiushan had just sat down at his desk when Tian Su'e came again.

Soon, several fast horses flew out of Wulibao.

A round lens was quietly retracted into the crack of the door. Xie family guard Zhou Chuan carefully held the telescope and turned back to report to Xie Yuchuan: "General, a bailiff has taken the Tian family out on horseback. It looks like something has happened."

Xie Yuchuan, who was regulating his breathing, opened his eyes and looked at him when he heard this.

"How many people?"

"Five people, three escorts."

Xie Yuchuan pondered with deep eyes. Zhang Dayi beside him was surprised. "Since he has cooperated with the general, he shouldn't act on his own. I think Xiong Jiushan is quite cautious in his actions."

Xie Yuchuan nodded. "With the Tian family, it shouldn't be a matter of escort. Perhaps something happened to the Tian family."

"It's not impossible." The old man felt that Xie Yuchuan's guess was more reliable.

Because of the telescope, Zhou Chuan didn't feel tired no matter how long he stared. However, others couldn't bear to see him work so hard. One by one, they came forward to "share his worries" and forcibly pushed him aside, and gloriously took up their new "sentry posts".

The Xie family guards have never been so keen on surveillance.

Zhang Dayi wanted to laugh when he saw the group of young people. Thinking about the departure tomorrow, he turned to ask Xie Yuchuan: "Does the family god have any instructions?"

“Not yet.”

No accidents, that’s a good thing, the old man thought.

Xie Yuchuan thought of what the family god said about coming to help on the day of suppressing the bandits, and couldn't help but recall that the family god casually mentioned Han Qiguang's elixir. While he was deep in thought, he heard the guard of the Xie family who was watching him suddenly say "Huh".

"Master, Master Han is coming!"

Xie Yuchuan:?

The guard put down the telescope and said seriously, "It should be Taoist Guanghan who has arrived."

Han Qiguang, dressed in a Taoist robe, came over with a cart of things, looking like an immortal.
