Zhangzhou Prefecture.

In the new base of the third team of Gaotianyuan, several team leaders were sitting in the lobby with a frown.

It has been nearly two months since the acting captain Tomosuke Fujiwara led his confidant to Yingtiansan [Biquge www.biqugeexx.xyz] and Takahara Main Hall meetings.

According to the plan, Fujiwara Tomosuke should have returned with the official appointment of the captain of the third team.

But until now, not only has Fujiwara Tomosuke not returned, but he has not even heard of any relevant information.

Since a few months ago, the former captain Saburo Fujiwara and the temporary captain Su I-Shi-Shi-Empress, the special envoy of the chief, died one after another. The third team was forced to burn the original base and flee into the mountains. The original source of supplies of the third team had basically been cut off. All they could do was to use prey, fur and some precious medicinal materials that were caught from the mountains to exchange for pitiful food and salt.

This time, Fujiwara Tomosuke went to the main hall. In addition to removing the word "temporary generation" on his head, he also hoped to get the main hall helps so that the third team could find a new channel for money again.

But at the moment, Fujiwara Tomosuke has been reluctant to return. Although they have survived the winter with difficulty, if there is no new channel to support them, in order to survive, they will really become bandits who occupy the mountain and rob.

In fact, in the past ten days, they have sent nearly half of their men to ambush passers-by or businessmen on the road at the foot of the mountain almost every day.

Although this greatly alleviated their material pressure, according to the people who disguised themselves as they traded in several nearby towns, their actions had also caused shock to the county government, and the magistrate seemed to be ready to send people to wipe them out.

They were not afraid of those soldiers who bully the weak and the tough yamen runners and the slutty soldiers, but they were worried that if they continued to make such a fuss, they would sooner or later startle the Jinyiwei and Dongchang who forced them to give up their base and flee into the mountains, and let them come again.

With the last tragic experience, this time, they were beaten to death and were unwilling to experience it again.

...

When the captains of the third team were worried, they did not know that their worries had long become reality.

The six hundred miles sent by Lu Zhongxing had already mobilized the Dongchang forces of the three prefectures near Zhangzhou Prefecture and gathered towards Zhangzhou Prefecture.

More than ten days ago, the elite team sent by Lu Zhongxing also arrived at the Zhangzhou Prefecture City in a dusty manner. It was gathering all its forces and sending many spies to inquire about the specific situation of the third team, preparing to use thunder to wipe out the third team with one blow. Of course, the most important thing is to capture Shen Wanan, who knew the identity of the employer in Fujiwara Tomosuke's confession alive.

Originally, after finding out the specific situation of the third team and knowing that the third team was in a bad situation, Li Wujiu, the leader of the team, planned to act immediately, but after Hu Xiaolin and his group arrived, they stopped Li Wujiu.

Hu Xiaolin, who didn't care whether he could catch Shen Wan'an, whether he could pry Shen Wan'an's mouth open to know his employer's name, only cared about whether Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan would fall into the trap.

Therefore, in order to leave time for himself to arrange things and also to give Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan time to arrive after learning the news, Hu Xiaolin used his identity as an imperial envoy to force Li Wujiu to suspend the arrest.

Although Li Wujiu was very unhappy with Hu Xiaolin's overpowering power, he knew Hu Xiaolin's identity and was worried that Hu Xiaolin would hold the shit that did not catch Bai Shier on him, so he had to nod helplessly agree.

However, he also left a deadline for Hu Xiaolin.

If Bai Shier still has no traces found ten days later, he will immediately carry out the arrest operation according to the original plan.

Although Hu Xiaolin was also very dissatisfied with this, he was also helpless.

Just as Li Wujiu was worried that Hu Xiaolin would snatch the shit basin on his head, Hu Xiaolin was also worried that if the Dongchang plan was eventually destroyed because of his order, he failed to capture Chen Wansan alive and wipe out the third team, the Dongchang would participate in his crime of not knowing the overall situation.

After all, compared to Zhu Jinxuan's escape from the palace, the case of the suicide of the Yangzhou prefect is the real important case of the court, and it is a big case where the emperor named it and wanted to find out the truth.

Ten days passed in a flash during Hu Xiaolin's anxious waiting, but the eyeliner he arranged still did not hear any news.

This made Hu Xiaolin feel helpless and also felt a little despair.

Although the emperor was kind, he was not a person without any temper. Moreover, the matter involved his own sister and royal face. After several months, there was still no news. I am afraid that no matter how good the emperor's patience is, it will be wiped out.

Once the emperor loses patience, those who work in trouble will obviously be in trouble.

Hu Xiaolin couldn't help but think of the first meeting between Zhu Jinxuan and Bai Shier more than half a year ago in the small town called Yao Town.

At that time, he and his subordinates should have fought for the risk of offending Zhu Jinxuan and killed Bai Shi Er Ge on the spot. In this way, there would be no more things that followed, and naturally there would be no despair in his heart now.

...

When Hu Xiaolin felt despair in his heart, Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan rushed to Zhangzhou Prefecture as he expected.

However, the only difference from what he expected was that the two of them did not rush to Zhangzhou Prefecture separately, but together.

Therefore, in the cold winter, in order to take care of Zhu Jinxuan, Bai Shier did not arrive at Zhangzhou Prefecture as fast as possible, but went south in the most reliable and warmest way.

Take a boat.

When they went south to Zhangzhou Prefecture, there was naturally no canal for boat trips, so the two of them were sailing.

Although the imperial court has banned the sea for a long time, the so-called "small sails cannot go into the sea!" can only be like many systems of Taizu, and can only become a word game used by civil servants to make profits or block the emperor's mouth, and will not have much effect.

So, Bai Shier just visited Zhang Bin, the "old friend", and successfully found an intermediary in the dilapidated market in Yingtian City who could get him onto a smuggling boat.

Afterwards, after paying not much silver, he and Zhu Jinxuan, who disguised himself as his servant, followed this unpretentious middleman to a remote place in Hangzhou Prefecture, made a small boat and boarded the sea boat heading south.

Perhaps the sea ship was not too safe at this time, but for Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan, the sea ship was definitely much safer than walking.

At least they don’t have to worry about being discovered and intercepted by people from the East Factory.

Moreover, for Zhu Jinxuan, who had only taken a sea boat to Baihua Mountain before, this experience can be regarded as going to sea.

For her, it was obviously much more interesting than watching the familiar scenery in a carriage on the road.
