No one spoke afterwards. Sui Zhao and Shuang Xu were sitting and standing, eating cakes and admiring the moon. Shen Siwei, who was standing on the other side of the window, did not move.

Sui Zhao glanced at him and thought he looked like a wooden stake, a pretty good-looking one.

About a quarter of an hour later, a firework flew up from the opposite side. Sui Zhao felt a gust of wind passing by him, and then he saw Chen Siwei had jumped down.

Then came his men.

There was chaos in the high-rise building opposite, but calm was soon restored.

Sui Zhao clapped his hands, stood up and jumped down, "Let's go home."

The Mingchasi is in Yangzhou, so they don't infiltrate the city and are happy to take it easy.

After finishing his business in the brothel, Chen Siwei looked up in the direction of Yueqi Tower. The candles there were out and there was no one in sight.

Sui Zhao returned home and went to bed. He would go out to play the next day, or go sightseeing in the surrounding cities and counties with his parents.

After that, I never saw Chen Siwei again. I heard that the new Yangzhou provincial government was on its way and would arrive in Yangzhou in about twenty days.

January had arrived, and Sui Zhao set out again with his parents, heading south, traveling both by land and sea.

In June, we arrived at a small village in Lizhou.

Lizhou is mountainous, the road is bumpy, and it is quite tiring to walk.

When they reached the woods a little further outside the village, Yan Tinglan lowered his head and kissed the forehead of the person in his arms, "Ali, this place is full of beautiful scenery, would you like to stay for a while?"

"Okay, in what capacity?"

"I am a hunter, you are the hunter's wife, let's build a yard halfway up the mountain."

Sui Zhao smiled and said, "Dad, although you are tall, you don't look like a hunter at all."

"Your father's family had some assets in the early years, but they were not well managed and were tired of the intrigues in the city, so they sold their property and found a village to settle down. I have some martial arts skills, and in order not to live off the land, I decided to make a living by hunting, and became a rich hunter." Yan Tinglan was the first to dismount and helped Zhu Fuli down.

"There are many treasures in the mountains, and treasure hunting in the mountains is quite interesting."

Zhu Fuli stopped and rolled up his sleeves, "Was it like this when I was in the mountains before?"

"In my spare time, I carry a backpack to dig herbs and bring back a lot of mountain fruits." Yan Tinglan stroked her hair and said softly, "Autumn will be here soon. There is a good harvest in the mountains in autumn. How about we stay here until winter? It's cold in the mountains in winter, so we can go to the city."

Zhu Fuli smiled and said, "I'll do as you say."

Upon hearing this, most of the secret guards fled into the mountains to look for places to build houses and stay. Some led their horses towards the town, leaving only a family of three who were dressed slightly better and five secret guards including Shuang Xu.

Yan Tinglan led Zhu Fuli towards the village, "If you get tired, I'll carry you."

"I'm not tired. I've been riding for a long time. It's just right to walk."

After entering the village, Yan Tinglan asked for directions and found the village chief's house. After getting the household registration pass, he talked nonsense and bought a hilltop. He also said that he would find workers from the town to build a yard in the mountain, and told them not to be startled when they saw strangers.

The village chief hesitated and said, "But there is a big beast in the mountain. I reported it to the county magistrate, but he didn't send anyone."

Yan Tinglan's eyes flashed with deep meaning, and he just smiled and said, "No problem, we will just beat the tiger. The people I brought here are all doing physical work, and they also learned some martial arts."

The secret guards immediately went up the mountain and hunted the tiger down. The villagers welcomed the group even more.

The yard took five days to build. They lived in the town during these five days, and then went into the mountains after the yard was built.

Huai Xu investigated the county magistrate who was doing nothing because the emperor was far away and he imprisoned him, pretending to be the county magistrate to handle county affairs, and urgently ordered the provincial government to send a new county magistrate.
