Qian Yinbao swallowed his saliva.
"Slowly move to the edge of the mountain top and don't get close to those three people."
"....Yes!" The guards responded and supported Qian Yinbao as they slowed down their pace and walked towards the top of the mountain.
By the time Qian Yinbao carefully led a group of people to the edge of the mountain top, they were all petrified.
Qian Yinbao stared at the bare and impoverished mountain top in amazement, not knowing how to react.
No wonder the three men didn't move after reaching the top of the mountain.
There's no need to move here. At a glance, there's nothing.
Qian Yinbao stepped onto the flat mountain top with trembling legs.
He walked from east to west and from south to north, hoping to find an opportunity to trigger a miracle.
Everyone watched Qian Yinbao's actions, and stepped onto the smooth mountain top, imitating Qian Yinbao's way of walking around on the mountain top.
As they walked, everyone's behavior became very strange.
Some rolled on the top of the mountain, trying to trigger opportunities with their bodies.
Some jumped back and forth on the top of the mountain, thinking that they could step on a mechanism to trigger an opportunity.
Others stood on the top of the mountain, took a step forward and roared wildly...
Tianhong and the other two looked at the guards behaving strangely, and they had an idea and joined in.
It's better to be safe than sorry. What if they happen to trigger the opportunity?
The chaotic dance of demons on the top of the mountain dumbfounded the people from the Killer Hall who arrived later, as well as the leader of the Menglan City guards and others.
"They—are they not possessed?"
The people from the Killer Hall looked at the top of the opposite mountain in confusion.
The head of the guards licked his cracked lips, feeling extremely panicked.
"Then---then are we still going over there?"
After a pause, the guard leader frowned slightly and looked at the head of the assassin hall.
"Could it be that they have received an opportunity to become immortals, but their bodies can't handle it, so they have these reactions?"
The Killer Hall's leader's eyes lit up, "Possibly!"
"Let's go in and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people from the Killer Hall rushed down the mountain first.
They seemed to be quite close to the opposite hill, but if he wanted to walk over, he would have to go down the mountain first and then climb up the opposite hill. Even if he went quickly, it would take half a day.
The guard leader waved his hand and said, "Follow!"
If there really is an opportunity, with his physical fitness, he might be able to withstand it...
.......
"Captain Wan, what was that thing that suddenly rose into the sky from the Santong Mountains?"
Prefect Wen frowned and looked at Wan Dayong.
He had been watching from the city gate tower with Wan Dayong for more than ten days.
They thought they could see the strange object that suddenly rose into the sky again, but who knew that after so many days, they never saw it again.
However, Wan Dayong had already sent people to the mountains to check the situation. A group of people came back, and no one knew what they said.
Wan Dayong stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the Santong Mountains, and took a deep breath.
"That's not important. What's important is where did Chen Yong and the others go?"
"Also, I asked you to investigate the Shen family's accomplices. What have you found?"
Wan Dayong glared at Prefect Wen with his fierce eyes.
No matter what opportunities there were in the Santong Mountains, he would not be able to get any of them if he rushed there at this time.
However, if he fails to complete the task assigned to him, he will inevitably be punished.
Prefect Wen was startled, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
"The guards at the city gate never saw the yamen runners escorting Shen Yong into the city."
"It's really strange that people just disappear like that."
Prefect Wen sighed, "I guess the Shen family might be hiding in the village along the road between Menglan City and Guangfeng City."
"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Who would have thought they were hiding so close to the capital?"
"Captain Wan, what do you think?" Prefect Wen looked at Wan Dayong.
"I think!" Wan Dayong sneered.
"What I need now is, do you think, do you think?"
"Since you have suspicions, why don't you send someone to investigate!"
His men were sent out of the city to search for Chen Yong in several cities adjacent to the Santong Mountains. Now, if they wanted to search the villages, they could only ask Prefect Wen to send people.
The reason he stayed here was to make it easier for him to receive messages so as not to miss the messages sent by his subordinates.
There was also the task that Minister Jiang had assigned to him, which was to secretly investigate where Magistrate Wen had transferred the money, and to get more money from Magistrate Wen.
The house of Magistrate Wen was robbed, but there are still many wealthy businessmen and wealthy families in Danyun City. We can just ask them to pay more tributes.
"...Okay!" Prefect Wen was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and winked at Master Zhang beside him.
"Hurry up and arrange for someone to search. Make sure to find the person."
"yes!"
Wan Dayong looked at Master Zhang who hurriedly left the city gate tower and pulled the corner of his lips.
"Have the Shen family's accomplices been caught?"
Even if we can't catch the Shen family, we can still capture their accomplices and report back. We can't just go back empty-handed.
The key point is that not much money has been made so far, and this Magistrate Wen is really useless.
"This----" Prefect Wen looked at Wan Dayong with an embarrassed look on his face.
"It's really hard to define the Shen family's accomplices. Without solid evidence, it's impossible to arrest those noble families who are related to the Shen family by marriage."
"Besides, Chen Yong didn't even enter the city, and those people didn't even meet Chen Yong. This..."
He was too embarrassed to say that there were even more people in the capital who were related to the Shen family, so if they were to be arrested, they should start in the capital.
"Waste!" Wan Dayong gritted his teeth and scolded Governor Wen.
If you don't have evidence, you can't create it. Do you need him to teach you?
But he didn't dare to say this, because the foundation of those aristocratic families was not something he could shake.
It is up to Prefect Wen to do this voluntarily, and then he can put all the blame on Prefect Wen.
The soldiers guarding the city heard Wan Dayong's words and their pupils trembled in shock.
They tried their best to restrain themselves and did not dare to turn around to look at Prefect Wen's expression at the moment.
Magistrate Wen lowered his eyelids, and a flash of hatred flashed across his eyes.
Who dares to disrespect him in front of the soldiers?
After Wan Dayong blurted out this sentence, he felt a little regretful.
It is Prefect Wen who has to deal with the silver matters.
"My people will investigate the Shen family's affairs."
Wan Dayong glanced at Prefect Wen and continued,
"Master Wen, please pay more attention to the silver issue. The people in the capital can't wait that long."
".....Yes." Prefect Wen responded by gritting his teeth.
........
Qianhuang City
"King Qianhuang, everyone has arrived at the designated location. We are just waiting for the materials and tools to arrive so we can start work immediately."
Deng Yushan looked at Shen Yong with excitement, raised his hand and pointed to a place 20 miles outside the city.
"I have arranged for 50,000 soldiers to guard the border to ensure the smooth progress of the project."
All the officials and soldiers on the city gate tower looked at the dense crowd at the border with excitement.
The 50,000 soldiers guarding the border were led by Jiang Daqiang.
At this time, he had brought soldiers to protect the workers outside.
