The next morning.

In Yingzhou City Governor's Office, Wei Ting looked at the red sun slowly rising in the sky.

A hint of worry was revealed on his face.

He didn't know why, but he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well last night.

As soon as the day dawned, Wei Ting got up.

Standing at the gate of the Governor's Office and looking at the Hong Ri in the distance, Wei Ting felt a little panic inexplicably.

Even he couldn't explain the reason for this panic.

"Sir." The confidant bowed to Wei Ting.

Wei Ting turned around and asked hurriedly: "Is there any news coming from Tianzhu Mountain?"

"Tianzhu Mountain?" The confidant was slightly stunned.

I thought to myself what news can be found in Tianzhu Mountain.

With just a dozen people from Zhao Chen, can he still conquer Tianzhu Mountain?

"Don't worry, Tianzhu Mountain is dangerous, just Zhao Chen's dozen people, how did they get up to the mountain?"

"What's more, there are generals like General Luo Yi in the mountains, so I can't deal with those dozen little thieves?" The confidant and Wei Ting said with a smile.

I did not receive any news from the mountains today.

But this is normal.

They don’t contact Tianzhu Mountain every day.

There is no news today, maybe there is no movement.

After hearing what his confidant said, Wei Ting felt a little more uncomfortable.

"Then Zhao Chen is not an ordinary person, otherwise the emperor would not have just brought him by his side if there were so many important officials in the court."

"It's better to be careful in this matter, otherwise you and I will be unable to save our lives."

"Give me some news to the mountain and ask them how it is."

Wei Ting was still a little worried and asked his confidants to send a message.

When the confidant left, Wei Ting leaned against the pillar at the gate of the Governor's Office, but his face did not see any relief.

...

From Tianzhu Mountain, no one saw Luo Tong's traces.

Zhao Chen followed the bandits of Tianzhu Mountain with a group of students from the academy.

The thieves are familiar with these mechanisms on the mountain.

No one took the initiative to mention Luo Yi's matter.

But everyone felt extremely incredible in their hearts.

Luo Yi, a veteran who was so powerful in Youzhou back then, actually fell into Tianzhu Mountain.

"Sir, where has Luo Tong been, will he come back?" Li Ke and Zhao Chen asked.

He is the only one who saw Luo Yi commit suicide.

At this moment, Li Ke was also worried that Luo Tong would blame Zhao Chen for his grandfather's death.

After all, if Zhao Chen had not led his men to destroy the bandits, Luo Yi would not have died.

"The fallen leaves return to their roots, Luo Tong took his grandfather back to Youzhou." Zhao Chen and Li Ke said, waved his hand to signal everyone to follow.

Zhao Chen was not very worried about Luo Tong's place. On the contrary, Wei Ting from Yingzhou City was not so easy to win.

Wei Ting has been in Yingzhou for ten years, and his eyes are everywhere in the city.

If Wei Ting learned the news that he and his people had captured Li Yuan, how could he not be prepared?

"How is the situation at the foot of the mountain?" Zhao Chen asked Cheng Chumo on the side.

"I just received the news that a team of people passed by the official road, searched for a while, and then turned back."

"I guess I'm going back to report that old guy Wei Ting." Cheng Chumo replied, pinning the big knife in his hand to his waist.

Zhao Chen knew what Cheng Chumo's actions meant just now.

Eighty times he thought about returning to Yingzhou City, he cut off Wei Ting.

"Let everyone rest on the spot and ask the two of them to watch out." Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo said.

Turning around and coming to Li Yuan.

At this moment, Li Yuan's face was pale. I don't know if she was scared or was tired of not sleeping all night.

But Zhao Chen doesn't care about these things.

Now he has to ask Li Yuan about the whereabouts of Li Yuanji.

"You...you are Zhao Chen." At this moment, Li Yuan was disheveled and had a pale face.

Seeing Zhao Chen standing in front of him, I felt a little panicked for no reason.

Li Yuan still didn't expect how Zhao Chen and the others got up the mountain.

It was obvious that the Tianzhu Mountain was at a dangerous peak, and he had someone set up a large number of mechanisms on both roads into the mountains.

Why did they come here so quickly?

"Where is Li Yuanji?" Zhao Chen looked at Li Yuan and asked.

"No...I don't know." Li Yuan looked at Zhao Chen and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Li Yuan only knew that Zhao Chen was very young. When he saw Zhao Chen's face, the look of surprise flashed through his eyes.

Zhao Chen in front of him clearly looked like Li Shimin when he was young.

Li Yuan was already guessing in her mind whether the rumors outside were true.

Zhao Chen and the emperor are really what the rumor is.

"Li Yuan, I will only give you one last chance, either telling Li Yuanji's whereabouts and saving his life."

"Or, die here now."

"I believe that Wei Ting should also know Li Yuanji's whereabouts." Zhao Chen stood in front of Li Yuan and said slowly.

Zhao Chen always felt that this trip to Jiangnan was meaningless.

He now wants to return to Chang'an City, accompany Li Ruoshuang, and wait for her to give birth to the child.

As for Li Yuan's life and death, Zhao Chen didn't care at all.

At this moment, a short blade was already on Li Yuan's neck.

Where could Li Yuan bear such coercion? People became panicked at that time.

He also wanted to act like he would rather die than surrender.

But the short blade in Zhao Chen's hand had already cut the skin on his neck.

Moreover, Zhao Chen was right, Wei Ting also knew Li Yuanji's whereabouts.

If you don’t say it myself, Wei Ting will definitely say it too.

Not as good as...

"Zhao...Zhao Chen, I said... talk about Li Yuanji's whereabouts, you want... to let me go." Li Yuan and Zhao Chen said, their faces trembling.

Zhao Chen did not speak, but looked at Li Yuan coldly.

The short blade in his hand not only did not retract it, but instead took a step forward.

At that time, blood fell down Li Yuan's neck.

"I said, I said!" Li Yuan was really scared. The breath of death was already covering him.

"Li...Li Yuanji, he is...right in Lujiang."

"Lujiang?" Zhao Chen took back the short blade and looked at Li Yuan.

"Yes, it's Lujiang. He has a house ten miles east of Lujiang City. It was bought by Wei Ting for him to settle down."

"We've met there before."

Li Yuan had no choice.

If Zhao Chen in front of him is not so ruthless, he will not reveal Li Yuanji's traces.

He originally pointed out that he would return to Chang'an City one day by borrowing Li Yuanji's name.

But now my life is in my hands.

Saving your life is the most important thing.

Zhao Chen looked at Li Yuan and saw that he did not hide his expression from his face, and his brows couldn't help but frown together.

Li Yuanji is in Lujiang.

The place where the emperor and Wei Zheng went this time was also Lujiang.

I don't know if they can meet it.

"Zhao Chen, you promised that if I tell Li Yuanji's whereabouts, I will spare my life." Li Yuan and Zhao Chen shouted.

"I won't kill you. As for what to do, I'll wait for the emperor to make his own decision." Zhao Chen glanced at Li Yuan and turned around and left.

"Zhao Chen, you lied to me." Li Yuan yelled behind her back.

He knew what would happen if he fell into the hands of the emperor.

Outside Yingzhou City, he occupied a land of enemies for several years, and during this period he plundered the caravan and killed several Zhechong Camp Captains.

If the emperor did not kill him, Li Yuan would not believe it.
