The commander of the garrison was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Heyan to say such a thing.
He looked at him, distrust hidden in his eyes.
Xu Heyan saw what he was thinking and just moved closer to the commander of the garrison.
"My Lord, I saw it with my own eyes."
"When they left this morning, there were about 20 to 30 people."
"So many people are fine, they must have something on their hands."
The garrison commander frowned slightly.
After all, it was all his guess.
"Maybe it was just good luck, Mr. Xu, didn't you get out safely?"
As he spoke, he brushed off the dust on his body.
Xu Heyan was stuck in a slump and couldn't move up or down.
How did he become the commander of the garrison?
Even after he said this, he still didn't believe it.
Xu Heyan thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I remember those people were staying at our Xu family's inn before."
"But when they left this morning, they were at another inn."
The garrison glanced at him.
"What does Mr. Xu mean?"
"This epidemic came suddenly. Could it be that these people..."
Xu Heyan didn't finish his words, leaving room for further discussion.
On the contrary, it makes people think more.
"Everyone knows that our Xu family's inn has always been the most comfortable place to stay."
"There are so many of them, and they have a lot of money, why do they want to change inns?"
In order to make the garrison commander trust him, Xu Heyan rolled his eyes.
"So, this epidemic... might be related to them!"
Xu Heyan suddenly raised his voice and pretended to be scared.
"Sir, they've already left. If we don't go after them now, it might be too late!"
The petty-minded Xu Heyan sneered in his heart, thinking he would never let go of a grudge.
Just wait, none of you can escape.
He even added fuel to the fire.
"Something went wrong at the Xu family's inn in Hongcheng before."
"So I specifically asked my cousin, Xu Hesheng, to invite Master Wenhua over."
"I also want to contribute to my family, so I happened to come to Hongcheng."
Xu Heyan came in front of the commander of the garrison.
He hunched his arms and rubbed his hands unconsciously against each other.
"The night before the epidemic broke out, my cousin suddenly left Hongcheng, and later..."
"Those people also changed inns. I was delayed by some things, so I stayed in Hongcheng."
Xu Heyan did not directly point the finger at Xu Hesheng.
Only words that leave blank spaces like this can make people most confused.
"Master Xu, what you mean is... the incident in Hongcheng is related to the group of people you mentioned, including your cousin?"
Xu Heyan wanted to nod directly.
But he still had some insight and saw the wariness in the eyes of the garrison commander.
He shook his head quickly.
"My cousin is the most upright person, how could he have done this?"
Xu Heyan quickly shook his head, trying to clarify himself.
Unexpectedly, I missed the truth.
It was indeed Xu Hesheng who did it.
To be precise, he just provided a way.
Xu Heyan continued, "So I wonder if it's related to that group of people."
"They just left. I thought something was wrong, so I hurried to report it to you, my Lord!"
The garrison commander seemed to be half-believing it.
He waved his hand and a soldier came over.
"grown ups!"
"Remember those people we met when we came here?"
There were a lot of people walking with Lu An'an.
So the garrison commander had some impression.
The soldier nodded: "Remember!"
"Does the road they took lead to Mancheng?"
The soldier thought about it.
"From Hongcheng to Mancheng, there is only that road."
The soldier was familiar with the roads here, which was why the garrison commander brought him with him.
"There aren't any suitable paths around, and they have a carriage, so..."
"I'm sure this road can only lead to Mancheng."
The garrison commander nodded.
Another soldier was called over.
He walked aside with his men.
Xu Heyan suppressed the smile on his face.
No matter what, as long as the garrison commander has doubts, then...
That's enough.
The commander of the garrison looked at his confidant in front of him and spoke softly.
"Just delivering the letter wasn't enough before. This matter has become too big. Not to mention you and me, I'm afraid even the Lord of the Mansion will be in trouble!"
The soldier frowned.
"Sir, do you mean... that I go back and report this?"
"Yes and no, Xu Heyan is not a good person."
After all, he is a playboy who relies on his family's protection and spends his days eating and waiting to die.
What kind of good person can he be?
The garrison commander just listened to what he said.
This Mr. Xu didn't seem to have thought of it.
This matter involves more than just Lu Anan and others who left.
The Xu family can't escape either.
He also mentioned Xu Hesheng.
I'm afraid that the Xu family will be the first to give up on him.
"The group of people we met before should have come from Hongcheng."
"Now they have gone to Mancheng. Report this matter to the Lord of the Mansion as soon as possible."
The commander of the garrison army briefly told his confidant what Xu Heyan had just said.
The soldier understood the meaning of the music and immediately understood what the garrison commander meant.
"I will rush to Mancheng now!"
"Whether or not that group of people has the antidote, the fact that they came out of Hongcheng is very problematic."
"Tell the Lord of the Mansion to pay more attention."
The soldier bowed and saluted.
"Don't worry, sir!"
He moved swiftly, brought his horse, and headed quickly towards Mancheng.
Xu Heyan looked at the direction the man left and lowered his eyes.
This is really... great.
For the rest of the time, Xu Heyan did not continue to act up.
He leaned comfortably against the tree and rested for a while.
But what Xu Heyan didn’t understand was.
It seems that the commander of the garrison army knows nothing about what is happening in Hongcheng.
But why did he come here?
Xu Heyan couldn't understand.
But before long, the commander of the garrison came over.
"Mr. Xu."
Xu Heyan stood up with a confused look on his face.
"What's the matter, sir?"
"We have to stay here for now. I'm afraid we can't go with Master Xu."
Xu Heyan decided to quit while he was ahead.
"I am very grateful to you for lending me your horse."
As he spoke, he walked to the side of the horse and pulled the reins.
The commander of the garrison felt a little pain in his heart.
This horse is an important resource, how can we let others take it away so easily?
There was no other choice, so the garrison commander had to call for help.
Take him back to Mancheng.
"Don't worry, sir. When you return to Mancheng, I will definitely... present you with a generous gift!"
The garrison commander nodded casually.
Don't even mention offering him a valuable gift; just don't cause him any trouble.
On the other side, Lu Anan's convoy was moving quite fast.
Now we are very close to Mancheng.
He Lianhua and Xiang Wanshu had a headache along the way.
"Why would the Lanzhou garrison suddenly come here?"
Xiang Wanshu frowned.
"Could it be that the news has gone out?"
"My cousin An An said that the letter from the Hongcheng County Magistrate might not be delivered."
