Sifeng and Zhang Baotang knew who the other beasts were referring to, and they both laughed, but this was not the topic they wanted to talk about at the moment.

They also squatted down beside Zhu Zan.

"You don't have to worry about your uncle. The situation is under control." Sifeng said.

"Yes, this was really an accident. It was all because of that bastard Zhang Dousheng from the Yongxing Army who was eager for quick success and bellicosity, and the Jin army cut off his retreat and took advantage of the opportunity," said Zhang Baotang.

Zhu Zan snorted.

"How can this be called an accident? This is the truth," he said. "No matter whose fault it is, if you lose, you lose. If one person loses, the entire North loses."

Sifeng and Zhang Baotang remained silent.

"Zhang Dousheng can no longer be saved," Zhu Zan said, "and the Yongxing Army can no longer be saved. Someone will definitely take over."

The person who was replaced would certainly not be Duke Cheng's man.

"Damn it." Zhang Baotang cursed, "None of them are here to help, but to eat meat. Before the outsiders can bite, they are bitten to death by their own people."

"That's how it is." Sifeng said with a wry smile, "You can't do whatever you want."

Zhu Zan spat out the grass in his mouth.

"I want to go back," he said.

Zhang Baotang and Sifeng looked around subconsciously again.

"Your Majesty will not agree." Zhang Baotang whispered, "My father and his men have tried it before. We can't bring it up. We were kicked out as soon as we hinted at it."

"Who made them agree?" Zhu Zan raised his eyebrows and said, "Just follow the same path as before. I'll go back the same way."

Zhang Baotang said "oh" and laughed.

"I forgot," he said.

Sifeng didn't smile but frowned.

"It's not going to be easy like when you came here," he said, "and it will definitely cost you your life on the way."

After all, the emperor's order was to arrest people for questioning, and he did not intend to take Zhu Zan's life. If Zhu Zan left Beijing this time and still carried the identity of a suspect, he would be defined as a fugitive.

As for fugitives, they can be killed without mercy.

"Why not wait for your father to pick you up?" Si Feng continued, patting him on the shoulder. "You really don't have to worry. Uncle will be fine."

Zhu Zan didn't say anything. A heavy cough was heard from outside the stable. This was the signal agreed upon in advance. Zhang Baotang and Sifeng stood up upon hearing the sound.

"And one more thing." Zhu Zan raised his head and said, frowning slightly, "You guys take care of that woman."

That woman...naturally refers to Miss Jun.

Zhang Baotang immediately patted his chest.

"Don't worry, brother. I will take good care of you," he said.

"She is very powerful and can be dealt with under normal circumstances. Even if she is caught by those Jinyiwei, it will be fine. What you have to do is to prevent her from falling into Lu Yunqi's hands." Zhu Zan said.

That beast Lu Yunqi can't do anything.

Zhang Baotang immediately patted his chest.

"I definitely have my eyes on Lu Yunqi," he said.

Zhu Zan, however, frowned.

"No matter what Lu Yunqi does, the most important thing is to keep an eye on her." He said, "If she kills Lu Yunqi, even the gods can't save her."

Who killed whom? Sifeng and Zhang Baotang were both stunned.

So what you are worried about is not that Lu Yunqi will harm Miss Jun, but that Miss Jun will harm Lu Yunqi? Why is this so strange?

"What's so strange about that? If she killed Lu Yunqi, it would not benefit her at all. It would certainly be disadvantageous to her." Zhu Zan said unhappily.

Sifeng coughed lightly.

"Can she kill Lu Yunqi?" he said.

That frail, quiet girl?

Of course, a frail and quiet girl could also kill Mr. Huang, but Lu Yunqi was not a waste like Mr. Huang.

Although it seems that Lu Yunqi is obsessed with the beauty of this girl, Lu Yunqi is Lu Yunqi after all.

Zhu Zan snorted.

"That woman is crazy too," he muttered.

You haven't seen the things on her hands and body that are all around her when she sleeps. Each one of them can kill you.

For a woman who always carries hidden weapons, poisons and strangulations with her, killing one person is no big deal.

But she hasn't reached the point where she wants to kill anyone. If she wanted to...

I don’t know how many people will suffer.

Coughing sounds were heard outside one after another, and Zhang Baotang and Sifeng did not dare to stay any longer.

"We will remember this. You can raise your horses here without worry." They said and left in a hurry.

Silence returned to the stable. Zhu Zan was still squatting in front of the manger, pulling out a piece of hay from the haystack nearby.

"Of course I'm not worried about my father," he said to himself, chewing the grass bit by bit. "I'm worried about the land. It's not easy to get every inch of it, but it's so easy to lose it. I can't bear it."

…

At the same time, Jin Shiba stood up from the bushes and spat out a piece of chewed grass.

There was not a single person in sight on the mountain road ahead.

We have arrived at Qingyuan Prefecture in Hebei West Road. Compared to the places we have been to before, there are fewer people here.

Especially at this time we were still in the Taihang Mountains.

They have been waiting here for nearly a day, but haven't seen any cavalry, let alone a ghost.

"This young lady is really amazing." He said, "Funing belongs to the North. Could it be that a civil servant in Funing can raise a daughter as amazing as a scout?"

Jin Shiba has checked those bodyguards and found that none of them are very powerful, so this is the only guess.

"She was clearly coming in this direction, but she disappeared." A man next to her also said with a frown, with a hint of shame in his eyes.

It's very unpleasant to be dumped by a little girl.

Of course, being dumped by a man like Zhu Zan is not a pleasant thing.

"It looks like they are going to enter Qingyuan Prefecture." Another bookish and calm man said in a low voice.

"What does Miss Jun want to do? Doesn't she want to go back to Yangcheng?" Compared to the calmness of these two men, the other two burly men were a little impatient.

"She was going back to Yangcheng, so she took a detour." Jin Shiba said.

"This detour is too far. It almost reaches Zhending Prefecture," said the man.

"In order to get rid of us, Miss Jun is really patient and courageous." Jin Shiba said with a smile, "No wonder the captain likes her so much."

He waved his hand, looking somewhat solemn and cold.

"It just so happens that we don't have any other skills, but we have a little patience. This time, you can't escape even if you have wings."

…

"We got rid of them." Lei Zhonglian said excitedly.

"No." Miss Jun said, "They know where we are and will chase us. This doesn't count as getting rid of them."

Lei Zhonglian felt a little sad.

"These bastards." He muttered, looking up and looking ahead, "Are we at Qingyuan Prefecture now?"

Although no city could be seen ahead, there were more people on the road. People were coming and going in carriages, on foot, and carrying things on their shoulders and hands, revealing the bustling city.

"Qingyuan Prefecture is also in Hebei West Road. Since it is Hebei West Road, we are all here." Miss Jun said.

Liu Er placed a certificate on the side to attack Lei Zhonglian.

He was ordered to assist in investigating smallpox vaccine matters in western Hebei.

Lei Zhonglian smiled and reached out to take it.

"The people of Qingyuan Prefecture will surely be very happy," he said.
