While Zhao Xu and the others were escaping, they were also cleaning up the footprints they left on the ground when they left.
Based on Wu Zhi's understanding of Zhao Xu, he should not have such sophisticated experience at such a young age.
Naturally, the palace maids and eunuchs around him couldn't have it either.
And if it were a regular army, it would be absolutely impossible for them to do such a thing.
Only those bandits who hide in the deep mountains and forests all year round and specialize in robbing homes would do this.
This should also be their habitual and subconscious action.
Apparently, a group of copycat bandits rescued Zhao Xu and the others.
And looking at the traces of land they cleared, it can be seen that there are not too few people there.
Wu Zhi immediately called Shi Qian back.
Pointing to the ground at his feet, he said, "Follow this trace and they won't go very far!"
Just as Wu Zhi and others were following this trace and looking for it, not far away, a man wearing majestic armor rode up.
This person is none other than Lin Chong's apprentice, the swordsman Gui Cao Zheng.
When Wu Zhi saw Cao Zheng, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
The reason why Lin Chong was allowed to join the Imperial Guard in the first place was so that he could be put to use today.
Lin Chong is a very thoughtful person. With him protecting Zhao Xu, Wu Zhi will naturally feel at ease.
Originally, according to Wu Zhi's plan, after he rescued Wei Wan, Zhao Xu and others, he handed them over to Lin Chong.
In this way, Lin Chong will have the merit of following the dragon, and will have a certain say in the little emperor's side from now on.
Cao Zheng rode up quickly. When he got in front of Wu Zhi, he quickly jumped off his horse, clasped his fists at Wu Zhi and said.
"Master! The master sent me to tell the master that the little prince has been found, and the master is protecting his safety."
Hearing this, Wu Zhi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Wu Zhi soon discovered that Cao Zheng's expression was a little strange.
He immediately asked: "What, did something happen?"
Cao Zheng let out a long sigh, and then said: "Master! Mrs. Qiao is dead."
"The little prince is very sad now, his eyes are swollen from crying."
After hearing this, Wu Zhi couldn't help but sigh.
When Mrs. Qiao was in the palace, she was already in poor health. She had been bedridden for these years. If Wei Wan hadn't been there to take good care of her, she might have been killed by those femme fatales in the harem.
Cao Zheng then said: "In addition, when we saw the little prince, a group of people were already escorting them."
Wu Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Who are they?"
"It's Song Jiang and Chai Jin's group."
"Songjiang has hosted more than 30,000 soldiers and is now migrating south."
Upon hearing that it was Song Jiang, Wu Zhi suddenly burst into laughter after a brief moment of confusion.
"Song Jiang deserves to be called Song Jiang. His fate is really tough!"
Seeing Wu Zhi laughing, Cao Zheng couldn't help but feel a little strange.
These brothers all knew that the owner of the village had the intention of "following the dragon" or even "holding the emperor hostage to order the princes".
But now, Song Jiang's appearance has taken almost half of Wu Zhi's credit. Why is their village owner still so happy?
Although he could see the doubts in Cao Zheng's heart, Wu Zhi did not answer them.
Because this matter can only be buried deep in his heart.
In a short period of time, he will not explain too much to anyone or anything.
Wu Zhi always has a vision and strategy in doing things.
His plans are very long-term, and it is precisely because of this that he, a common man, created a large listed group.
But now, Wu Zhi's focus is not on making money.
His gaze is higher, farther, bigger, and more magnificent!
Wu Zhi walked up to Wei Wan and told the news that Concubine Qiao was dead.
