Tan Min nodded in agreement. "Fortunately, there's no war in the southwest right now. With General Qin guarding the area, the Emperor can't really take away his military power."
General Qin is a veteran of three dynasties. Even if the current emperor wants military power, he has to consider his own face.
Xu Lie's heart eased slightly, but he still said, "We still can't let our guard down. The Song and Gu families are still living well in Guizhou."
When Song Wan on the roof heard this, he looked at Gu Yan anxiously and asked him with his eyes why they wanted to kill them so much?
Gu Yan hurriedly replied that it was because they wanted supreme power and wealth.
Song Wan’s eyes widened. They want to steal my money!
Then gradually become more vicious and don’t even think about it!
Gu Yan touched her head anxiously, with the corners of her lips slightly curved, as if to say, don't worry, I won't let them succeed.
Song Wan clenched her fists and turned her attention downwards again. If this man dared to take her money, she would tie him up and send him to the desert to study potato farming!
Xu Lie, who was standing below, had no idea what kind of harsh and terrible environment he would face in the future, and was still continuing to discuss with his confidants where Song Qin would escape to.
Song Wan and her group were also listening attentively, so they asked these people to carefully study where her second brother had gone to, so that she would not run around all over Dayue.
When Yun Zhuo heard this and saw the reactions of Song Wan and her man, he vaguely understood who the two of them really were. They were not at all the chivalrous bandits or people of the underworld as he had originally thought.
The name Song Qin was not unfamiliar to Yun Zhuo. He had heard about it from his elder brother a long time ago. His elder brother said that the two brothers of Weiyuan Hou's generation were both rare military talents. His words were implicitly reminding him, a "prodigal son" who had no interest in military strategy.
The more he heard about it, and coupled with the continuous wars in those years, the two brothers gradually came to prominence, and Yun Zhuo remembered it even more clearly.
When Yun Zhuo first received the news that the brothers' lives and deaths were unknown, he saw the regret and anger in his brother's eyes.
I feel sorry for the two brothers of the Song family, and I feel angry towards the current imperial court.
If Song Wan is a member of the Song family, then she should be the eldest daughter of the Song family who inherited the divine power of her ancestors and was taken to the border by the old Marquis Weiyuan to personally teach martial arts at a very young age.
After sorting out his thoughts, Yun Zhuo finally understood why she, a woman, was so unique.
So they ran out like this and no one noticed?
The more Yun Zhuo thought about it, the more he couldn't stop admiring them. They were just too amazing.
His trip was not in vain.
In the study, Xu Lie and Tan Min discussed several places, and finally believed that Song Qin was most likely to go west.
If Song Qin were still alive and knew the news that the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and the Southwest Prince Mansion had been ransacked, he would definitely go to Guizhou first.
There are many prefectures and cities that need to be passed through to reach Guizhou from the capital to the west. Xinzhou is guarded by the emperor's uncle, so Song Qin is very likely not to take this route, and Song Qin on their side will definitely not go back and fall into the trap.
There are two routes left: either go north, go around Jingbei from Xiangzhou, pass Jinzhou and Zezhou, and reach Qiandi.
Or you can go directly from Xiangzhou to the fiefdom of King Yi by water.
The general stationed in Jinzhou is the only surviving uncle of Prince Yi's maternal grandfather, so no matter which of these two roads is taken, Prince Yi cannot be avoided, but it just happens to be out of the influence of the emperor and Prince Yu at the same time.
Xu Lie believed that Song Qin would definitely choose one of these two options.
Tan Min: "Will Prince Yi cooperate with us?"
When King Xiang and King Yu were fighting for that position at the same time, King Yi had been hiding in his own fiefdom without saying a word.
If it weren't for his uncle who still had some military power, he might have died in the royal struggle long ago.
That is not only military power, but also a life-saving talisman.
"Do you think a weak prince like him would make things difficult for us just for a fugitive?" Xu Lie snorted coldly, "He'll have to cooperate even if he doesn't want to."
When Song Wan heard this, she looked at Gu Yanji and asked which side King Yi was on.
Gu Yan shook her head hastily, telling her that Prince Yi was not on either side.
Prince Yi was the third son of the late emperor. His mother was just a dancer in the palace. She found her biological father, General Wu at the time, only after she gave birth to her son.
In addition to his daughter, Concubine Rou, the Queen Mother of Yi, General Wu also has a son, Wu Qiao, who is now stationed in Jinzhou.
Having heard everything she needed to hear, Song Wan waited for the others to leave before speaking. "Gu Yan, do you think my second brother will rush to Guizhou by the two routes that person just mentioned?"
"It's very likely that we can follow them. This will not only prevent them from finding your second brother first, but also allow us to monitor them in secret." This was Gu Yanji's plan in his mind. "This way, the enemy will be in the open, and we will be in the dark. It will be more convenient for us to do anything we want."
Song Wan became interested and couldn't help rubbing her hands, "For example, pretend to be a ghost and scare them halfway!"
Gu Yan laughed hastily, "Of course."
Let’s put the ghost costume aside for now. There is something more important now, which is moving the silver.
Since we are going to follow them to find the second brother, it is not suitable to take so much silver with us. Each of us can only carry some.
Song Wan was very reluctant to give them away, but she also did not intend to leave all of them to Xu Lie. The jewelry could not be given directly to the people of Tahui Pass, but the real gold and silver and the large amounts of banknotes could be given to her.
Xu Lie is quite a cunning person. He has heavily guarded his yard as if there are treasures hidden inside, but in fact he has kept almost 90% of his wealth in the secret room of this wing.
Song Wan looked at the room full of gold, silver and jewelry and was dazzled.
Yun Zhuo was also stunned. He never thought that one day he would become a thief and visit the secret room where a court official hid a large amount of wealth.
Song Wan quickly took out the large cloth bag she had prepared and put the banknotes in it, while urging them, "Hurry up and pack them, we probably need to come back a few more times."
This Xu Lie is even richer than Yao Xu. Not only does he have a lot of gold and silver, he also has several boxes of banknotes.
What Song Wan didn't know was that Xu Lie had the same hobby as her, which was that he only liked gold and silver and didn't like light silver notes. However, he was reluctant to reward his servants with silver, so the silver notes of various denominations that he hoarded were used for rewards.
His action greatly facilitated Song Wan and his group. The silver notes ranging from ten to fifty taels were just enough for each family to throw in one.
Yun Zhuo looked at Song Qi, Gu Wu, and even Qi Fu and Gu Yanji, all of whom were holding cloth bags and constantly stuffing banknotes into them.
Gu Wu stuffed the money in expertly while patting the dazed Ada beside him. "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and pretend."
Song Qi also took out a cloth bag and threw it to Yuan Bao, "Use this and fill it with more."
Yuanbao, who had just grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his arms, nodded stupidly, "Oh oh."
While pretending, I exclaimed, tonight was so exciting!
Yun Zhuo finally came to his senses and saw that his servants had already filled half of the bag. Without caring about anything else, he quickly took out the cloth bag he had prepared in advance and imitated their movements, filling it in an orderly manner.
In this way, the eight people moved the money back and forth dozens of times. If there were not enough banknotes, they would move the silver. There were nearly 100,000 people in Tahui Pass, and every household was included.
Finally, when it was almost dawn, the few people finally finished moving. The remaining two boxes of gold were left by Song Wan for herself, and the others also picked out what they wanted.
Yun Zhuo picked out a piece of fine mutton-fat jade pendant, a string of Buddhist beads and a jade Guanyin, all of which were things that the elders in the family would like.
Yuanbao was not polite. With Yun Zhuo's permission, he picked out gifts for his mother who worked in the mansion and his sister. His sister was about to get married, and the gifts would be just right for her dowry.
Anyway, the young master said that they were not stealing, but robbing the rich to help the poor, and those they robbed were all corrupt officials who were doing justice for the people and accumulating blessings.
Ada no longer had many relatives at home, but he still picked out a complete set of headwear, thinking that if he had the chance to get married in the future, it would be perfect as a betrothal gift.
Anyway, Xu Lie, a grown man, doesn't need to wear this.
This was not the first time that Song Qi and Gu Wu had done this. They were not interested in those colorful jewelry.
Silver is the most cost-effective, so like Song Wan, they each filled a bag with gold and silver.
Song Qi was thinking that he would definitely be the richest among his brothers when he returned this time, while Gu Wu thought that the silver he brought back would be enough for Gu Wen to marry seven or eight wives, and then he would let Gu Wen be pestered by women, and he would become the most powerful secret guard beside his master.
Song Wan tied up the two boxes with ropes, and turned around to see that Song Qi and Gu Wu were both cleverly imitating her in packing the silver. She couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, thinking that it was worth it for them to follow her for so long.
Song Wan, who had nothing left to pretend, did not plan to give up. She planned to wait until she found her second brother, and then bring him back to get some "medical expenses".
At daybreak, the eight people quietly left the general's mansion, carrying their own "hard work fees".
