Wang Chong was too keen, so Xie Yuchuan looked at him twice.
He didn’t explain too much, he just held his empty fist lightly and said, “The road ahead is inconvenient, so it’s better to get out of the car and walk.”
“That’s fine.” Wang Chong was too smart to say anything. "More," he nodded in agreement.
Outside, Ma Yuan heard the movement inside, jumped out of the carriage first, and waited beside the carriage.
Xie Yuchuan and Wang Chong got off the bus one after another.
The long team also stopped in progress.
The accident on Xishan Mountain made everyone fearful. At Wang Chong's instruction, the prisoners on horseback and on horseback temporarily stayed at the foot of Xishan Mountain. Wang Chong did not say how long they would stay.
The escorting officers were a little confused. The team had just walked out for a short time, and then stopped?
Xiong Jiushan felt even more agitated.
Wang Chong wanted to take Xie Yuchuan away, and Xiong Jiushan was in a dilemma.
"My lord, Xie Yuchuan is a person who has committed a crime. It is not appropriate to leave the exile team. This...is against the rules."
Wang Chong's attitude when facing others was far from friendly.
He looked at Xiong Jiushan in front of him coldly and said in a deep voice: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I don't dare!"
"Since I don't dare, What are the rules in front of this general, the rules of exile?" Wang Chong sneered, "In the realm of Jingwei Mansion, you should consider my rules first."
I drove all the way here and finally caught the person. , how could Wang Chong let the difference in front of him hinder him from doing things.
Xiong Jiushan did not dare to argue anymore.
Wang Chong came over today and made it clear that he wanted to use Xie Yuchuan.
After a moment of silence, Xiong Jiushan said: "Please allow me to accompany you to take care of Xie Yuchuan, so that my humble position can live up to the great trust of the court."
Wang Chong's expression relaxed when he saw the other party taking a step back. slow.
"Then follow."
Xiong Jiushan obtained Wang Chong's consent and handed over the escort to the adjutant. The exiled team had stayed in Gaojia Village for too long. If they continued to be stationed, it would inevitably delay their subsequent journey. After explaining the important issues to Wang Chong, Wang Chong did not embarrass him.
"Then let the others move forward slowly. When we turn around, the general will send chariots and horses to send Xie Yuchuan to catch up with the team."
Xiong Jiushan knew that this was Wang Chong's mood today. Okay, so he was easy to talk to, so he stopped bargaining. After explaining to his men, he picked up his sword and stick and followed Wang Chong's men, taking Xie Yuchuan with him and rushing to the west mountain.
At Wang Chong's request, Xiong Jiushan had to remove the shackles from Xie Yuchuan before setting off to make it easier to walk in the mountains.
Wang Chong felt that this was him making friends with the "gods" of the Xie family.
When Xie Yuchuan turns to the gods, he will be able to ask for help.
Xiong Jiushan didn't want to but had no choice. He had not yet left the territory under Wang Chong's jurisdiction, so it was difficult to conflict with him.
He is an inconspicuous and humble official. He has no qualifications to make demands of a commander. He can only obey orders.
Xie Yuchuan said nothing from beginning to end. When the torture shackles were removed, he only raised his eyes and glanced at Xiong Jiushan.
Xiong Jiushan reminded in a low voice: "There are still many people in the Xie family, don't act rashly."
Xie Yuchuan's eyes were slightly cold, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
Xiong Jiushan naturally knew that it was a bit excessive to use the Xie family members to threaten Xie Yuchuan not to cause trouble for him.
"It's just customary." He explained in a deep voice.
Xie Yuchuan no longer had heavy restraints on his body, and his whole body became lighter. He rubbed his sore wrists and said to Xiong Jiushan: "It's just a mere exile, it's not worth Xie Yuchuan's plan for this."
Seeing that he was relaxed, Wang Chong came over with a smile on his face and invited him to go into the mountain with him. Xiong Jiushan was afraid of an accident, so he appointed four more subordinates with good martial arts to take custody of Xie Yuchuan.
On Wang Chong's side, two people were left to watch the carriages and horses. The others all followed Wang Chong and entered the mountain with the commander.
Among the group were two Gao family villagers who had led the way before.
A small group of people walked up the mountain from the path in front of the West Mountain. On the way, Wang Chong couldn't help but curse when they encountered signs of outsiders entering the mountain.
He hated people like this sneaking around to pick peaches the most in his life.
Under the mountain.
After Xie Yuchuan left with Wang Chong and others, the Xie family rested briefly and then received the order for the team to continue marching.
Xie Yuchuan's absence made everyone feel uneasy.
"Is nothing going to happen in Yuchuan?" As a mother, Zhou is always more worried than others.
Mrs. Xie held the wooden stick and walked forward step by step. When she heard her daughter-in-law's concerns, she turned back to comfort her.
"Yuchuan is blessed with good luck and good fortune. With the blessing of the family god, nothing big will happen."
One sentence can make everyone regain their confidence.
Yes! Their Xie family is blessed by gods!
The exile team started to move from front to back. According to Xiong Jiushan's intention before leaving, it is best to pull the exile team to the inn before noon, saving half a day's travel, and then discuss the plan to travel through Panlong Ridge. .
As Zhang Dayi walked, he looked back at the mountains from time to time, looking thoughtful.
I don’t know if Xie Yuchuan and Wang Chong will be in danger if they go there.
There was no backbone in the team, and Xie Wuying and others seemed to have lost their souls. He walked for a while and came to Zhang Dayi's side, and asked quietly: "Sir, you are a big talent and you can help me solve my doubts. Then Wang Chong, please What can the sixth brother do when he goes into the mountain?"
Zhang Dayi shook his head, "It's hard to say. Wang Chong came well prepared and brought so many people with him. He was obviously well prepared before inviting the general into the mountain. . ”
The Xie family gods are especially present, and Zhang Dayi is a little worried about Xie Yuchuan.
The common man is innocent of the crime of having a jade in his possession. As a commander, Wang Chong is different from Li Zhouquan, the magistrate of Songjiang County. Li Zhouquan is a man of low words and only seeks his own prosperity. Even if he knows that Xie Yuchuan can still communicate with gods, he will not You will cause trouble for yourself.
But Wang Chong is different. He is determined to rise to the top. If he really sees a profit bargaining chip from Xie Yuchuan, it’s hard to say what he can do.
Those who have the same views as Zhang Dayi include Chai Ji, the former Dong Bohou in the team, and Pang Jiming, the wronged water officer.
Pang Jiming watched everything that happened in the Xie family with cold eyes. Because the appearance of Xie Zhen attracted his attention to the Xie family, and in addition, he suffered a disaster because he collided with the nobles, so he hid everything. Dangerous behaviors are very vigilant.
Passing by the entrance where Xie Yuchuan and others went up the mountain, Pang Jiming couldn't help but look up into the mountain.
The wife beside her walked away for a while and saw that her husband did not follow her, so she turned around and urged him.
Pang Jiming took a few quick steps to catch up.
“What are you looking at?”
“I’m not looking at anything. I’m curious what they are doing in the mountains.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Pang also raised her head and took a look into the mountains. "The mountain roads are blocked by trees, and you can't see anything. Didn't you tell us to stay out of other people's affairs?"
"Yes." Pang Jiming responded, "Yes, don't care."
The Chai family members in the team, Chai Ji and Pang Jiming are similar. When passing by the mountain pass, they couldn't help but take a second look.
But as Mrs. Pang Jiming said, Xishan is inaccessible. Even at the foot of the mountain, there are many trees. A winding path quickly disappeared among the trees, and it was impossible to see what was going on in the mountain.
