"Sir, our troops are ready and ready to go at any time."
"Are we going to Sanhe County or Yunzhong County?"
At this time, Chu La's military lord Wang Ming came in.
"No!"
"Wait a minute!"
"Don't move yet!"
Chu La said slowly.
"Today's Yunzhong County should not be underestimated. With thousands of people and horses, it is not that simple. And I always feel that something is very strange. There is something wrong here!"
"Let's find out more about the situation first."
He waved his hand and asked Wang Ming to step back and make arrangements.
Chu La felt that he couldn't understand many things recently, and it would definitely be inappropriate to act rashly at this time.
Following the governor for such a long time, Chu La himself also underwent many changes.
Plan everything before taking action.
When you don’t have accurate information, blind actions will only lead to passivity.
And it's not like before, when you were just one person, you could do whatever you wanted. Now you are the head of a county, so many things must be dealt with based on this status.
Chu La rubbed his brows, worried.
Do you want to tell the governor what happened here?
Chu La couldn't make up his mind.
I am now the governor of Heyang County. If I go to the governor whenever something happens, what use will I have?
Chu La shook his head.
Don't panic!
Just do it step by step, the situation in Heyang County is still controllable now.
Even if I can't control it, there is still the governor behind me!
No matter what happens, as long as the governor is behind it, there will be no problems and the entire situation will be controllable.
This is how Zhu Yue made them feel.
Thinking of this, Chu La's anxious mood was relieved a lot.
To them, the governor Zhu Yue was invincible.
Nothing can escape Zhu Yue's control.
"Come on!"
"Pour the tea!"
Chu La said lightly.
…
at this time.
On a mountain more than ten miles away from Yunzhong County, Hu Dugu and the others were on their way.
In order to take a shortcut, they chose a small road instead of taking the official road.
It's just that this section of the mountain road is rugged and steep, and it's night now, so Hudugu and his party didn't ride horses, but walked and led the horses.
"Boss, there's a situation."
At this moment.
The explorer in front ran back and said in a low voice.
"Put out the torch and wait here!"
Hu Dugu said softly, and then followed the visitor and walked forward.
In an open space not far ahead.
At this time, a bonfire was burning, and two people were sitting there eating and drinking.
Judging from their clothes and luggage, they did not look like businessmen on their way.
Moreover, when ordinary businessmen are on the road, they will calculate the time in advance and settle in villages or cities along the way, and rarely spend the night in the wilderness.
There are often bandits or wild animals in the mountains and forests. Once encountered, it will be very dangerous.
Now in such a remote place and not a big caravan, it is indeed a bit suspicious.
Hu Dugu leaned down and quietly sneaked towards the position of the two people.
"Cousin, when you tell me about this, that person is not lying to us, right?"
"If you think about it, we still have a long way to go."
"This is my first time walking this far."
Next to the campfire, a man who looked honest and responsible said.
His expression was very excited.
"Won't!"
"Do you think the county guard can see him just by saying he sees him?"
"I'm really lucky this time. I got such a job. You can earn more than you working hard as a carpenter. I don't want the reward now, but when I get there, I will share half of it!"
"
Another person with a treacherous look on his face said.
"That's right, this trip is all thanks to you, cousin, otherwise I really don't know how to go."
"When I have this money, I will have a good meal!"
An honest and responsible person has a look of admiration on his face.
"cut!"
"Look at your potential, I'm telling you, when I get some money, I'll take you to a good place. I'll make sure you don't want to leave!"
"Okay, are you full? Let's go quickly!"
"Let's hurry up and hurry up while no one is paying attention at night. As long as we get out of Hezhou, it will be easy. This place is still far away from Beihai County."
Another person urged, and the two began to pack their things and prepare to hit the road.
Hu Dugu winked at the people behind him.
As soon as the two men put out the fire, a short knife was pressed against their necks.
When these two people first started, Hu Dugu felt that there was no problem.
Although I don’t know what kind of job they are talking about.
But it may be a business.
Later, if you don't want anyone to find out, and you go to Beihai County, etc., you can't be regarded as a businessman alone. There is definitely a problem.
Hu Dugu asked someone to take it down.
"Spare... spare my life!"
"Your Majesty, we are good people..."
"Just passing through."
The two people were so frightened that they unexpectedly encountered bandits.
It's late at night, don't the bandits even sleep...
Hu Dugu slowly walked up to the two of them.
"Who are you?"
"Where are you going?"
"What to do?"
Hu Dugu asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, we are just doing a small business, so don't go into your lord's territory in a hurry."
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"Hurry up and take out the money to honor the king!"
The 'cousin' said quickly.
The honest man next to him immediately trembled and groped around on his body. After a while, he took out a large piece of silver and handed it to Hu Dugu with both hands.
Hu Dugu looked at the two of them but did not take the money.
Instead, he came to his ‘cousin’.
Nodding towards the man behind him, the man's dagger slashed his 'cousin' neck.
The 'cousin' covered his neck and fell down.
He convulsed twice and died.
"I don't have that much time to listen to your stories. Let me ask again."
"Who are you? Where are you going? What are you doing?"
Hu Dugu turned his head and looked at the frightened honest man.
He knew that of the two people in front of him, one was honest and the other was slippery. The slippery one was full of lies and couldn't get anything out of him, so it was better to scare the monkeys and get some information from this honest man's mouth.
And they dared to collude with people from Beihai County. Hu Dugu also knew that these two people would not be that simple.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, I say, I say it all!"
"We are going to Beihai County to deliver a letter!"
As a not-so-pleasant smell came out, the man squatted on the ground.
"Deliver a message?"
"What letter to send? To whom?!"
Hu Dugu asked coldly.
The man tremblingly took out a letter from his body and handed it to Hu Dugu.
"This is the letter, saying that it should be sent to the governor of Beihai County, and then we can get a large sum of money."
"Your Majesty, I won't go. I'll give you this letter. You can go make some money. Please spare me!"
The man knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Hu Dugu took the letter but was not in a hurry to open it.
He has basically understood what happened.
It seems.
It must be someone from Yunzhong County who arranged for them to send news to Beihai County.
But it seems that they found two people at random this time, which is a bit strange.
It stands to reason that for such an important matter, it is necessary to find reliable people, but the two people in front of me, one is honest and the other is slick, are not suitable candidates to deliver the letter.
"Who asked you to deliver the letter?"
"What does it look like?"
Hudugu continued to ask.
"This one... isn't very tall, nor is he very fat. His legs seem to be injured. Oh, yes, I remember that when he wrote me the letter, there was a birthmark on his wrist."
"But I really don't know who it is!"
The man didn't hide anything and said quickly.
"Birthmark on wrist?"
"Is it him?"
Hu Dugu frowned, and a name appeared in Hu Dugu's mind.
