The troops in Wohugang were frequently mobilized and the security was tightened.
A small town ten miles away from Wohugang is the only way to Xiazhou City.
A sturdy man who looked very honest and was wearing tattered clothes carried a load of firewood and delivered it to a house.
He took the copper coin handed to him by the master and thanked him loudly.
At this time, a group of soldiers hurried past, and the man and other passers-by hurriedly dodged to the side.
He glanced at the Dayin soldiers passing through the town, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and he looked thoughtful.
"Five hundred soldiers and horses, led by a captain, it seems they have lost the support for Xiazhou."
"Half of the troops were transferred at once, so Wohugang must be underguarded. This is a good opportunity to sneak in and investigate!"
This person is Hu San, a close confidant of Jinyang merchant Wang Pan.
Ever since Wang Pan sent three people here to inquire about the news and they disappeared last time, he did not give up and sent people to inquire again.
There are actually a thousand regular troops stationed in the deserted Wohugang, and no one is allowed to approach within five miles.
People entering and leaving are also strictly checked.
This aroused Wang Pan's curiosity even more, and he had to find out the secret of Wohugang.
He guessed that this Wohugang must be hiding Zhao Muyun's shocking secret.
Hu San looks like an ordinary person, is good at hiding, and is a close confidant of Wang Pan who has been nurtured for a long time.
Wang Pan sent him out and offered him a large sum of money as an inducement, requiring him to find out the secret of Wohugang before he could return.
Hu San has been in this small town for half a month without any progress.
Now that half of the troops in Wohugang have been transferred away, it is a godsend opportunity for him.
How to get in?
After the five hundred soldiers left, Hu San was thinking hard when someone suddenly called him, "Hey man, do you want to work and earn money?"
He looked back and saw a man who looked like a shopkeeper shouting at him.
"In no mood!"
Hu San was here to gather intelligence, not to do any work, so he refused without hesitation.
"What bad luck! How come several people in the team are suffering from dysentery? Now there's no one to push the carts. I'm afraid we can't get to Wohugang!"
"If he doesn't want to do it, forget it. Let's find someone else!"
"Wait! I'm going!"
Hu San saw that the two people who were talking were coming from a convoy. All the vehicles in the convoy were covered with black cloth, and he didn't know what was inside.
But when he heard the three words "Wohugang", his eyes lit up.
"You man, you go sometimes and don't go sometimes, you're just making fun of us!"
"These few copper coins aren't enough for the wine, I'd like to earn some more!" Hu San hurried over and smiled apologetically, "Gentlemen, please let me go!"
"He looks honest, let's take him!" One of them said impatiently, probably because he was in a hurry to deliver something.
"Come with us!" Another man called Hu San and whispered, "Listen carefully, don't ask any questions, don't inquire about anything. Once we get to the destination, we'll give you the money and leave quickly!"
"Don't worry, sir. I'll keep my mouth shut!" Hu San promised quickly and honestly.
......
Half a day later, Hu San returned to the town with some more copper coins in his hand.
He suppressed his excitement, pretended nothing had happened, left the market, and came to a winery in Dejing City.
Immediately, a white dove fluttered up from the backyard of the winery and flew towards Jinyang.
In Jinyang City, Wang Pan’s luxurious mansion.
Bai Shoujing and Zhou Dequan were present.
"No matter what, Zhao Muyun eventually left Shuozhou, and the Tartar army marched south to attack Shuozhou. As long as Shuozhou falls, Zhao Muyun will lose his base and will be at our mercy."
"As far as I know, your son Bai Sheng is not dead. He should still be in Shuozhou or Yinzhou. Once Zhao Muyun loses power, you and your son will be able to reunite and regain the Bai family's assets."
"It's a pity that my son can't be brought back to life."
While Zhou Dequan was comforting Bai Shoujing, he couldn't help feeling sad when he talked about his son, and his hatred for Zhao Muyun increased a little more.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou. I'm sorry for your loss!" Bai Shoujing said bitterly, "That little bitch Bai Ruolan who betrayed the Bai family, I will make her suffer terribly."
"Brother Zhou! Is there any new development on the prince's side? I heard that Lord Wei Qian is going to be convicted and beheaded." Wang Pan was not happy.
Not long ago, Zhou Dequan, Wang Pan and Bai Shoujing used all their connections to recruit assassins, and secretly formed a temporary alliance with the rebel Yang Yi to attack Zhao Muyun and Princess Qinghe together.
In the end, Zhao Muyun escaped.
Something is happening to Wei Qian, and the investigation will soon be traced back to them. How can they be happy?
"Don't worry, Brother Wang! Commander Chen from the Crown Prince's residence has sent a letter conveying the Crown Prince's praise for us and his approval of our proactive assassination attempt!"
Zhou Dequan sneered, "Zhao Muyun has been poisoned and is still lying in the capital!"
"If we really investigate, we'll put the blame on Yang Yi!"
Wang Pan's expression eased considerably, and he said, "Now that Shuozhou has lost Zhao Muyun and is being pressed by the Tartar army, it is in imminent danger. We cannot just sit there and do nothing. We should take advantage of his illness to kill him and serve the Crown Prince!"
If they help the prince more now, they will be able to bring honor to their family when he ascends the throne in the future.
"Commander Chen said that we should not act rashly for the time being. Brother Wang, if you really have nothing to do, take Brother Bai to the brothels in Jinyang City to listen to music and have some drinks!" Zhou Dequan said.
"Oh, I heard that a lot of pretty and young women came here. I was just thinking of going to take a look!" Wang Pan immediately became interested.
However, at this moment, a servant came running in holding a carrier pigeon: "Master, this is a carrier pigeon from Xiazhou!"
