Chapter 185 Trial 6
Wei Xiao had the secret document, but he couldn't just reveal that it was in his hands.
Now Wei Xiao didn’t know what to do next, but he definitely couldn’t let the secret document fall into his hands. He had read it and found that the secret document was to be delivered to a prince with a fiefdom.
He needed to deliver the secret document to the prince, but before that, he needed to divert everyone's attention.
So, Wei Xiao took the disguise pill directly, and then he disguised himself into the appearance of a pillar.
After becoming the shape of a pillar, he went around the nearby town twice and soon attracted some people's attention.
After seeing him, the various troops of the Seven Colors Army immediately followed in the direction where he disappeared.
Wei Xiao's attitude had changed again at this moment. He saw that the Seven Color Army was looking for him, and with the messages he left intentionally or unintentionally, he also gave money to let people with backs similar to the pillars walk around a few times. As a result, the Seven Color Army was directly led away by his arrangement.
After arranging all this, Wei Xiao headed towards the prince's fiefdom.
Wei Xiao didn't know if his trip would be a waste of time. After all, the prince might not send troops. But now this was his best choice. After all, from what he saw now, the Seven Color Army was not a good thing. If he handed the secret document to the prince, at least he would know how to care for the common people. After all, they were their royal subjects.
But for the Seven Colors Army, they just want to grab more benefits. After all, these people are just a group of rabble at first glance.
Even if this dynasty was corrupt, if that prince really led his army to defend the country, he would not attack ordinary people at will, because the most fundamental difference between them and the Seven Colors Army was that the Seven Colors Army was a rebel army, and they were really the kind that committed all kinds of atrocities such as burning, killing, looting and so on.
Wei Xiao encountered conscription several times along the way. It was not the imperial court that was conscripting men, but the Seven Colors Army.
Obviously, the people in the Seven Color Army were all from the common people, but their cruel methods towards the common people were really hard for Wei Xiao to accept.
Wei Xiao's horse ran very fast, but even so, he was almost caught.
And because some people knew that he had a good horse, they even set an ambush for him. If Wei Xiao hadn't seen through these crude ambushes, he might have really fallen into the trap and been designed to fall off his horse.
Wei Xiao's horse is not an ordinary horse. As soon as he got the horse, he gave it a potion to improve its physique. The horse is now very alert. Even without Wei Xiao's reminder, it would not fall into an ordinary ambush under normal circumstances.
No one knew how many levels the man and his horse had passed, and now the Seven Color Army that was tracking the Pillar had been scattered in all directions. The Red Turban Army was especially angry, after all, this guy was one of theirs at first, but they didn't know how he changed.
Moreover, they didn't even know how the secret document got into Zhuzi's hands. Now all kinds of people knew the secret document, and they also knew that whoever had the secret document was the orthodox one.
In addition to the Seven Colors Army, countless others joined in the process of snatching the confidential documents.
When Wei Xiao arrived at the prince's fiefdom, he noticed that there were more people lying in ambush here. Based on the current situation, Wei Xiao could feel that this prince was very likely to have a very good relationship with the emperor above, otherwise these people would not be lying in ambush here.
Wei Xiao had already hidden the horse when he approached here.
His horse is very smart. When he hides it, it stays there obediently and won't sneak out.
Wei Xiao sneaked into the prince's fiefdom and found that the atmosphere in the fiefdom was also very tense.
Not long after entering the city, he heard two people talking quietly, "Will someone really send a letter to our prince?"
"The prince said he would!"
"But there are too many ambushes outside. Will that person come?"
"That's unclear. The prince has already quietly called up his troops. Regardless of whether the secret document has arrived or not, he will go back to rescue his brother."
Wei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. It turned out that the person above belonged to his brother. That would be easy. He just had to send the secret document to the prince.
Wei Xiao heard the conversation between these people, but he did not reveal his identity rashly. Instead, he moved directly into an inn and started purchasing goods, pretending to be a businessman.
The best source of goods here is fur. The most important thing is that these are real furs, so you won’t lose money no matter how you buy them.
And I can buy some beautiful ones, process them at home, and give them to Ling'er and mother.
In Wei Xiao's heart, Ling'er ranks before his mother.
Wei Xiao bought a lot of furs. After several days of continuous purchases, the people who were watching him gradually relaxed their vigilance towards him. After all, Zhuzi didn't have that much silver, but this guy had a lot of silver and was very generous. It was obvious at first glance that he was not the kind of person who would take risks for a secret document.
By the fourth day, there was finally no one monitoring Wei Xiao at night, so Wei Xiao sneaked out quietly and went directly into the prince's mansion.
The prince's mansion was very luxurious, but Wei Xiao still found the main courtyard easily. Although it was now night, the prince was calling his staff to a meeting. They were discussing the marching route for the rescue. Along the way, the shadows of the Seven Color Army were almost everywhere, so they needed to be extra careful.
Wei Xiao entered the conference room stealthily, and then threw the secret letter directly in front of the prince. Seeing the secret letter appearing so suddenly, everyone in the hall broke out in cold sweats instantly, because they did not see the person coming, and the letter fell from the roof.
At this time, a faint voice sounded in the air, "The map you studied is wrong. Why do we have to go to Liangjing by land? Isn't it faster to go by water?"
"How do we travel by land and water?" someone asked without hesitation.
"Go south and board the ship in Qingzhou." Wei Xiao replied and walked straight out of the hall.
Wei Xiao's words excited everyone in the hall.
"Your Highness, what that man said is correct. If we go south, there really is no Seven Color Army over there." The Seven Color Army is on the road to advancement, not on the road to retreat.
The prince narrowed his eyes slightly. If they went to Qingzhou, they could indeed board a boat and float directly to Liangjing, but Qingzhou was not his territory.
Someone said, "Your Highness, we can just pretend to be sellers. If we can't finish the goods in one batch, we can split it into two batches. And if we have goods, we can also conceal our identities."
"Yes! Let's do it!" The prince immediately made a decision. He had read his brother's secret document, which actually almost meant that he had given up his position to him.
The prince clenched his fists. Their kingdom certainly could not fall into the hands of those bandits.
After Wei Xiao delivered the letter, he went straight back to the inn. He was waiting for the mission to end, but the mission was not declared over. Wei Xiao was a little speechless. Did he still need to join the team to fight?
