Chapter 89: He hated people who picked peaches the most in his life!
Wang Chong was too perceptive, so Xie Yuchuan looked at him twice more.
He didn't explain too much, just clasped his fists lightly and said, "The road ahead is inconvenient, why not get off the car and walk."
"Okay." Wang Chong wisely didn't ask any further questions and nodded in agreement.
Outside, Ma Yuan heard the noise inside and jumped out of the carriage first, waiting beside it.
Xie Yuchuan and Wang Chong got off the car one after another.
The long team also stopped in the middle of its march.
The incident on the West Mountain made everyone feel afraid. At Wang Chong's suggestion, the criminals temporarily stayed at the foot of the West Mountain. Wang Chong did not say how long they would stay.
The escorting officers were a little confused. The team had just walked for a short while, and they were resting again?
Xiong Jiushan felt even more annoyed.
Wang Chong wanted to take Xie Yuchuan away, and Xiong Jiushan was in a dilemma.
"Sir, Xie Yuchuan is a criminal. It is not appropriate for him to leave the exile team. This... is against the rules."
Wang Chong's attitude towards others is not very friendly.
He looked at Xiong Jiushan in front of him coldly and said in a deep voice, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I dare not!"
"Since you don't dare, what rules are you talking about in front of this general? The rules of exile?" Wang Chong sneered, "In the territory of the Jingwei Mansion, you should consider my rules first."
After driving all the way here and finally catching the person, how could Wang Chong let the escort in front of him interfere with his work?
Xiong Jiushan didn't dare to argue anymore.
It was obvious that Wang Chong came here today to use Xie Yuchuan.
After a moment of silence, Xiong Jiushan said, "Please allow me to accompany you and take care of Xie Yuchuan, so that I can live up to the trust placed in me by the court."
Wang Chong's expression relaxed when he saw the other party take a step back.
"Then follow me."
With Wang Chong's consent, Xiong Jiushan handed the escort matter to his adjutant. The exile team had stayed in Gaojia Village for too long. If they continued to stay there, it would inevitably delay the subsequent journey. After explaining the important matter to Wang Chong, Wang Chong did not make things difficult for him.
"Then let the others go forward slowly. I will send carriages and horses to help Xie Yuchuan catch up with the team later."
Xiong Jiushan knew that Wang Chong was in a good mood today and was easy to talk to, so he did not bargain any more. After giving instructions to his men, he picked up his sword and stick and followed Wang Chong's men, taking Xie Yuchuan with him to rush to the west mountain.
At Wang Chong's request, Xiong Jiushan had to remove the shackles from Xie Yuchuan before setting off to make it easier for him to walk in the mountains.
Wang Chong felt that this was his way of making friends with the "god" of the Xie family.
When Xie Yuchuan becomes a spirit, he can ask for help.
Xiong Jiushan was unwilling but had no choice. He had not yet left the territory under Wang Chong's jurisdiction, so it would be inappropriate to conflict with the other party.
As an insignificant minor official, he had no right to make demands to the commander-in-chief and could only obey his orders.
Xie Yuchuan didn't say a word from beginning to end. When the shackles and shackles were removed, he just raised his eyes and glanced at Xiong Jiushan indifferently.
Xiong Jiushan warned in a low voice: "There are still many people in the Xie family, don't act rashly."
Xie Yuchuan's eyes were slightly cold, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Xiong Jiushan naturally knew that it was a bit excessive to use Xie family relatives to threaten Xie Yuchuan not to cause him trouble.
"It's just a routine." He explained in a deep voice.
Xie Yuchuan felt lighter without the heavy restraints. He rubbed his sore wrists and said to Xiong Jiushan, "It's just exile. It's not worth it for me, Xie Yuchuan, to plan for it."
Seeing that he was relaxed, Wang Chong came over with a smile and invited him to go into the mountains with him.
In order to avoid any accidents, Xiong Jiushan selected four more subordinates with good martial arts skills to detain Xie Yuchuan together.
On Wang Chong's side, two people were left to watch over the carriages and horses, while the others all followed Wang Chong and went into the mountains with the commander.
Among them were two villagers from the Gao family who had led the way earlier.
A small group of people walked up the mountain from the path in front of the West Mountain. Whenever they encountered signs of outsiders entering the mountain, Wang Chong couldn't help but curse.
He hated people who sneaked in to pick peaches the most in his life.
At the foot of the mountain.
After Xie Yuchuan, Wang Chong and others left, the Xie family took a short rest on the spot and then received the order for the team to continue moving forward.
Everyone felt uneasy because Xie Yuchuan was not around.
"I hope nothing happens to Yuchuan?" As a mother, Zhou is always more worried than others.
Mrs. Xie walked forward step by step, holding a wooden cane. When she heard her daughter-in-law's concerns, she turned back to comfort her.
"Yuchuan is blessed with a long life and has the protection of the family gods, so nothing serious will happen to him."
In one sentence, everyone regained their confidence.
Yes! The Xie family is blessed by the gods!
The exile team began to move from front to back. According to Xiong Jiushan's intention before he left, it would be best to get the exile team to the post station before noon to save half a day's journey, and then discuss the plan to pass through Panlongling.
As Zhang Dayi walked, he looked back at the mountains from time to time, with a thoughtful expression.
I don’t know if Xie Yuchuan and Wang Chong will be in danger if they go there.
Without a core leader, Xie Wuying and the others seemed to have lost their souls. He walked for a while and then approached Zhang Dayi, asking quietly, "Sir, please help me clear up my confusion. What could be the reason why Wang Chong invited Sixth Brother into the mountains?"
Zhang Dayi shook his head. "It's hard to say. Wang Chong came prepared and brought so many people with him. It's obvious that he made sufficient preparations before inviting the general into the mountains."
The Xie family's god is still alive, and Zhang Dayi is a little worried about Xie Yuchuan.
An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. As a commander, Wang Chong is different from Li Zhouquan, the magistrate of Songjiang. Li Zhouquan has little influence and is only concerned about his own development. Even if he knew that Xie Yuchuan could communicate with gods, he would not cause trouble for himself.
But Wang Chong is different. He is determined to rise to the top. If he really sees some benefits in Xie Yuchuan that he can gamble with, it is hard to say what he will do.
Sharing the same views as Zhang Dayi are Chai Ji, the former Duke of Dongbo, and Pang Jiming, the wronged water official in the team.
Pang Jiming watched everything that happened in the Xie family with cold eyes. Xie Zhen's appearance drew his attention to the Xie family. In addition, he had suffered a disaster because of offending a noble person, so he was very alert to all potentially dangerous behaviors.
Passing by the entrance where Xie Yuchuan and others went up the mountain, Pang Jiming couldn't help but look up at the mountain.
The wife beside him walked for a while and saw that her husband had not caught up, so she turned back and urged him.
Pang Jiming took a few quick steps to catch up.
"What are you looking at?"
"I didn't see anything. I was just curious about what they were doing in the mountains."
Upon hearing this, Madam Pang also looked up at the mountain. "The mountain road is blocked by trees, and you can't see anything. Didn't you tell us not to meddle in other people's affairs?"
"Yeah." Pang Jiming responded, "Yes, whatever."
Among the Chai family members in the team, Chai Ji and Pang Jiming were similar. When they passed the entrance to the mountain, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.
But just as Mrs. Pang Jiming said, the West Mountain is sparsely populated, and even at the foot of the mountain there are many trees. A winding path quickly disappears into the woods, making it impossible to see what is inside the mountain.
