Chapter 84 What kind of luck is this place?

After hearing the accurate news, the captain suddenly nodded to the people behind him, and more than a dozen people dismounted and lined up.

The cold-faced captain pointed out the last cavalryman and said, "Go back and tell the commander-in-chief that Xie Yuchuan is here."

The cavalry received the order, mounted their horses, and turned away.

The captain stepped forward, whip in hand, and asked, "Who is it?"

When Xiong Jiushan saw this scene, he knew very well that the other party was coming for Xie Yuchuan.

Not far away, the Xie family members, who heard the other party's intention, moved towards Xie Yuchuan with serious expressions.

"It's really one crisis after another." Xie Wuying said, standing half a step in front of Xie Yu.

Zhang Dayi, holding the shackles on his wrists, asked in confusion, "We haven't left the Jingwei Mansion yet. Could the commander the captain mentioned be Wang Chong?"

Xie Yuchuan hesitated for a moment, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be him."

Wang Chong ordered his subordinates to chase him?

Even Xie Yuchuan didn't quite understand.

He has been stationed in the northwest for many years and is not familiar with the officials in the capital, let alone any dealings with them. Why would they come to him for no reason?

"Previously, Commander Xu led his troops to Songjiang Town. This matter is related to Wang Chong. After all, Songjiang is under the jurisdiction of the Jingwei Mansion, and the Jingwei Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Wang Chong. General, be careful. Wang Chong's style of doing things is different from others, and he likes to take shortcuts."

Xie Yuchuan looked at Zhang Dayi with a strange look in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Sir, do you know this person?"

Zhang Hanlin stroked his beard and thought for a moment. "I've dealt with him briefly. Wang Chong has an aide named Ma Yuan, also known as Mingji. He's from Guangyuan, Lingzhou, and is well-versed in the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. Last year, for the Empress Dowager's birthday, Wang Chong presented a magnificent gift, which pleased the Emperor greatly. He rewarded him generously, but Wang Chong also requested a book from the Hanlin Library. It was an unremarkable volume, tucked away in a corner. It was a travel journal of a former idle prince. The descriptions of his travels weren't particularly remarkable. I wonder why Wang Chong favored that particular book."

"Things that you have painstakingly sought must have a deep meaning behind them." Xie Yuchuan said calmly.

"I think so too, but I have indeed read the book once and there is nothing special about it." Zhang Hanlin recalled what he had read at the time. Perhaps he was not careful enough and could not figure it out.

While listening to the two people's conversation to understand the situation, Tu Huan looked at Xishan where the noise came from in the distance.

Maybe it was because of the precious clothes she was wearing, but she seemed to be able to vaguely feel that there was something in the West Mountain, emitting a faint breath.

But the system was a little timid at the moment. She asked several times, but it didn't come online.

"What's that noise in the West Mountain?"

【The system cannot retrieve it.】

"You can't handle the village ancestral hall and the village temple, and you can't search the mountain. Tell me, what's going on in Gaojia Village? As soon as I came in, I felt that your ability was half."

The system stopped talking.

Tu Huan opened her operating interface and observed for a while, and found that her energy and points were decreasing at a subtle rate, as if they were being slowly consumed.

Tu Huan was stunned for a moment: "..."

"What's going on? I only have so much energy and points, and I'm still waiting to save enough to redeem the 5 million cash reward. Why is it still dropping..."

Gaojia Village is really strange.

What kind of luck is this place?

Tu Huan vaguely felt that Xie Yuchuan and the others might not be able to leave Gaojia Village today.

Xie Yuchuan had the same feeling.

Xiong Jiushan was feeling annoyed and frustrated as he watched the team unable to leave the village.

A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death, let alone Wang Chong, the commander of the Beijing Guards.

A dozen of Wang Chong's men were escorting the troops. He politely explained the situation, but they didn't waver in the slightest. They simply said, "We'll discuss this after the commander arrives. You can let the prisoners rest where they are. It won't take much time."

How could this not delay anything? Xiong Jiushan almost wanted to curse.

Wang Chong's carriage arrived very quickly. Less than half an hour after the soldier who brought the news arrived, another group of people also arrived.

Zhang Dayi whispered to Xie Yuchuan, "The man with a white face and black clothes is Wang Chong. The man with a bun and beard behind him and on his right is his staff member Ma Yuan and Ma Mingji."

Xie Yuchuan nodded, "Thank you very much."

"General, be careful."

"good."

Zhang Dayi was worried that he would suffer a loss, but Xie Yuchuan was not worried.

He and Wang Chong had no connection. The other party came either because Xu Su saved him or for his life. At the very least, it was neither of the two, so he came only for the rumor about the Xie family's god.

He had prayed to the gods on Xu Su's behalf at the residence of Li Zhouquan, the magistrate of Songjiang, and had also reported Li Zhouquan's case to the gods. This matter was not concealed, so it was easy for outsiders to find out.

Xie Yuchuan felt that these three points must be Wang Chong's intention to bring people to find him.

But Xie Yuchuan never expected that after Wang Chong arrived at the local place and dismounted, after his subordinates pointed out Xie Yuchuan, he strode straight up to him.

The first thing he said was: "I heard that you can call upon the gods to come to the world? Would you be willing to help me defeat the foreign enemies? After the success, I will give you a generous gift!"

Xie Yuchuan's eyes froze for a moment.

Tu Huan stood beside him, unable to help but frowning slightly, and asked, "Who is this big brother?"

Only when Xie Yuchuan heard her voice did he regain his composure and concentrate on answering her.

"Xie Yuchuan: Wang Chong, the commander of the Beijing Guards."

Tu Huan: "What about the guy behind him? The one with the small goatee."

"Xie Yuchuan: Wang Chong's staff, Ma Yuan, Ma Mingji, are quacks."

She had just heard these two names in his conversation with Zhang Hanlin. Tu Huan looked Wang Chong up and down.

Wang Chong has a fair complexion and red lips, and looks elegant, but his flaw is his eyes. It’s not that his eyes are ugly, but that they are too shrewd.

While Xie Yuchuan was silent, he was also looking at Xie Yuchuan's appearance, and after looking at him, he also admired him in his heart.

After all, he was born into a military family. Even on the road to exile, he looked tired but not decadent. Instead, his expression remained resolute.

There were three light coughs behind me.

Wang Chong's eyes suddenly showed joy, and his attitude towards Xie Yuchuan instantly became friendly.

This was a reminder from Ma Yuan.

They came all the way here just to verify for themselves whether there were any "ghosts and gods" around their Xie family.

Li Zhouquan, the magistrate of Songjiang County, was able to get three incense sticks when Xie Yuchuan was summoning the gods. It didn't make sense that he, the commander of the Beijing Guards, didn't have such a great blessing.

It just so happened that there was a tricky matter right now that was making him upset all day long.

Ma Yuan is not as strong as others, so he might as well ask Xie Yuchuan to ask for help from the gods.

Wang Chong had a good idea, but he was also worried that after all the travel, he would be exhausted and end up with nothing.

Before coming, Ma Yuan said, "Sir, I will go with you. Although I lost a little in the battle with the sorcerer, I can still detect the traces of ghosts and gods. I still have my family's knowledge and can definitely help you."

Wang Chong said, "How can you tell whether the person next to Xie Yuchuan is real or fake?"

Ma Yuan said, "I will cough lightly as a sign. I will then consult the heavens. If there is anything unusual around me, I will cough lightly three times to warn you, sir."

Therefore, when Wang Chong heard three light coughs from his staff behind him.

I was very happy.
