Zhou Weiyong couldn't help but sigh when he heard Lin Feng remained silent. He asked, "Why, are you afraid of meeting Tang Chen?"
"Those with different ideals cannot work together", this is what people say, but in fact the truth should be as Zhou Weiyong said. After Tang Chen left Qinghe County, Lin Feng thought about her every day, but when they really met, he was afraid.
Zhou Weiyong stopped the carriage and thought for a moment before saying, "...If you don't want to go, we can first go outside Qingliang Valley and meet up with the Nanyue army. You and Shi Zairong should know each other, right?"
Lin Feng said: "I know him. I sent him. Let's go find him first. We can talk about the rest later."
Compared to going to Tangchen, the psychological pressure of meeting Shi Zairong was not that great. After he arrived, at least he could ask Shi Zairong to help keep an eye on Lin Zhenzhen to see if she was safe.
As for the matter between Lin Feng and Tang Chen, Zhou Weiyong had lived in Qinghe County for many years. Even if he didn't know them personally, he knew a lot from the neighbors. Now that Tang Chen had married someone else, he had become a traitor in everyone's eyes. If they met for the first time, he might explode. "Then hold on tight. Although you've shaken off the pursuers, it's only temporary. You need to hurry and walk more."
After Lin Feng steadied the carriage, he said, "I'm fine. Mr. Zhou, just drive."
...Huangfu Ning and the three young men were on their way back to Qinghe County. When the sun was scorching at noon, they left the secluded official road and headed into the woods nearby, intending to rest for a while before continuing on their journey.
While eating their rations, the three Huangfu brothers pushed each other, and finally Huangfu Chongyou was pushed out. Huangfu Chongyou kept looking back at his two brothers who were cheering him on. Finally, he mustered up the courage, walked around to Huangfu Ning, and asked, "Uncle, is it too risky for us to go back now?"
Huangfu Ning smiled and said, "It's a bit risky, so I decided not to take you with me. You are free for now. Just don't get yourself into trouble and have fun. I will notify you when I'm done."
"......" After hearing what Huangfu Ning said, Huangfu Chongcong and Huangfu Chongjun walked over with sullen faces without saying a word.
Huangfu Ning looked at the unhappy faces of the three brothers and couldn't help but take a step back, subconsciously clutching his purse tightly. "Why, haven't you been asking me to let you go out on your own? Are you trying to cheat me out of anything? I'm telling you in advance, I'm a poor man with no money."
Huangfu Chongjun explained seriously, "Uncle, although this is our first time out here, we're not as useless as you say. Take us with you, even if it means helping you move your things. We can't let you go to such a dangerous place alone."
Huangfu Ning had actually long seen that the three children wanted to go with him, so he said those words, hoping to see if they could calm down. If not, he would naturally let them go. However, the three teenagers still did not allow him to get rid of the burden he wished for. "...I didn't expect you to be so sensible all of a sudden. It's not impossible to take you with you, but in this case, we have to take a detour."
Huangfu Chongjun was worried that Huangfu Ning would abandon them along the way, so he hurriedly asked, "Where are we going first?"
Huangfu Ning confirmed the location, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. "There's a small, mobile black market town around Qinghe County. Let's go there and buy some supplies to prepare. Compared to Xiahou Chun and Xiahou Qing we dealt with before, they're far inferior. After all our back and forth, Xiahou Qing should have already learned about what happened in Qinghe County. We need to be fully prepared."
The three young men answered in unison: "We will follow our uncle's instructions. This time we will definitely not run around and cause you any trouble!"
“Ouch!”
Before he finished speaking, Huangfu Ning raised his hand and punched each of the three brothers on the head. "You're so young, why are you pretending to be so profound? You need to be energetic, understand? Energetic! Besides, you should all reflect on your own vague consciences. Haven't you caused me enough trouble along the way?"
"I understand!" The three brothers laughed at the rest of the sentence, pretending they didn't hear it. Didn't Huangfu Ning also say that they were just children, so of course they needed someone to take care of them. If they didn't cause trouble or become a burden, what else could they do?
Meanwhile, the people who had been hiding in the caves of Shouyang Mountain, finally could no longer sit still after their health improved day by day. Yaochen changed into thinner clothes and saw that Xihe was not in the cave. Thinking that he should be able to go out and see the light today, he tiptoed towards the light at the cave entrance. Before he reached the cave entrance, Yaochen saw Xihe standing in the somewhat glaring light from a distance, talking to others. However, her expression did not seem to be very good.
Xihe was counting the money and provisions at the cave entrance with the others, observing if there was anything unusual going on. He was halfway through his calculations when he saw the white-clad guard who had gone out to look for his contact in Beimo return. "How's it going? Did you make contact?"
The white-clad guard replied with a serious expression, "We've already made contact, but, as the young lady said, those guys are really asking for too much."
"What do they want?" In fact, without asking them, Xihe had probably guessed what Beimo wanted. The timing of their news was really too suspicious.
The white-clad guard said, "It seems their people know something about our actions in the Forbidden Palace. They want us to hand over the formula for the explosives, or you to provide it directly..."
The young man holding the account book stomped his foot and said in dissatisfaction, "This is really too much! How can you give away the formula that the young lady worked so hard to research so easily?"
The guard at the door also heard this and said, "I don't think this is a big deal. With these, if they find the man in South Vietnam who can forge artillery, wouldn't we be accomplices to the enemy?"
Xihe held her forehead with her hand, feeling a bit of a headache. She said, "...I'll think about this matter again. Continue to have people mediate with them. During this period, keep in touch with them to avoid any unexpected events."
The discussion here was not yet over. After hearing unusual footsteps behind him, Xihe winked at everyone, and everyone hurriedly and abruptly changed the subject.
Yao Chen glanced at everyone and said, "Xihe, what happened?"
Xihe smiled and waved her hand, signaling everyone to return to their work first. She came forward to support Yaochen and said with concern: "Why did you come out when you haven't recovered yet? The wind is strong on the mountain. You can sit for a while and then go back."
