Ning Chen and Feng Qizhen arrived at the stable smoothly. The night guards were all in the front yard. There were also night guards in the back yard, but not many people. They guarded the wall, worried that thieves would climb over the wall. With Ning Chen and Feng Qizhen's skills, they easily reached the stable. After dealing with several guards at the back door, the two rode away from the back door. The intersection of Yangping County was still guarded at night. Ning Chen and Feng Qizhen didn't waste any words. They took action directly, knocked down the yamen runners in a few seconds, and rode away on horseback. "Ning Chen, where are we going next?" Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "There are two ways. The first is to go to Xiuzhou. When we arrive in Xiuzhou, it's just dawn and we can take the opportunity to sneak out of the city." "Second, go find Lao Gao and Lao Chen and hide in the mountains." "Which one do you choose?"
Feng Qizheng thought for a while, "I think we should go find Lao Gao and Lao Chen. We hide in the mountains and wait for the leader to bring the musket battalion." Ning Chen nodded slightly, "It's not impossible, but we don't know what's going on with Lao Pan? I'm worried that he's trapped in Xiuzhou City and can't get out." "Forget it, I'll listen to you and go find Lao Gao and the others." After running all night. The two came to the place where they encountered the bandits before. At this time, it was already dawn. The two entered the mountain. Soon, they found the secret signs left by Gao Ziping and Chen Chong. The mountains here are high and the forests are dense, and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. The two went around and finally met Gao Ziping and others in the afternoon. It was not Ning Chen who found them, but the people sent by Gao Ziping to guard them. Gao Ziping and others hid in a natural cave. The cave was very large, and it seemed empty even with more than 20 people. "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving!" As soon as they met, Feng Qizheng shouted that he was hungry. Ning Chen was also hungry, and he had eaten a piece of dry food last night until now. Yang Yongwang said: "Wait a moment, my two adults, I will prepare food for you." Ning Chen and the other four came outside, found a place where no one was, and sat on the ground. Chen Chong couldn't wait to ask: "What's the situation? Have you found anything?"
Ning Chen nodded. Chen Chong said excitedly: "Then can we go back to Beijing?" Ning Chen shook his head, "I have some bad news for you, our identities have been exposed." "Now Xiuzhou City must be heavily guarded, I'm afraid not even a fly can fly out." Feng Qizheng interrupted, "Nonsense, it's winter now, there are no flies." Ning Chen: "???" "Hehe... this joke is really funny." Gao Ziping and Chen Chong were shocked! "How did you get exposed?" Ning Chen roughly recounted the matter! Gao Ziping and Chen Chong were not annoyed, but laughed heartlessly. "I didn't expect you to be careless? You actually exposed your identity because of Diao Chan." Ning Chen rolled his eyes, "You guys can still laugh?" Chen Chong laughed, "Why can't you laugh? Didn't the boss go back to Beijing to get reinforcements?" Ning Chen sighed, "Xiuzhou City must be on high alert now. I'm worried that Lao Pan can't get out." Gao Ziping laughed, "You know nothing about the boss's ability... He will definitely be able to get to Beijing smoothly and get reinforcements." "When the boss went out to investigate a case, he was chased by a gang of hundreds of people, and They are all masters, guess what happened? " Ning Chen was curious, "What happened?" "The boss, with a knife, fought his way through a bloody road...more than a hundred people, almost half of them were killed by the boss." Ning Chen was shocked, "Is Lao Pan so powerful?" Gao Ziping said: "Not only powerful, in the entire Supervisory Department, only Geng Ziyi can beat the boss, and it took a hundred moves to win...no one else can be his opponent." "So, the boss will definitely be able to return to the capital smoothly." Ning Chen was surprised, but also relieved. Feng Qi came over and asked curiously: "I didn't have time to ask on the way, what is recorded in the evidence we have to find?" Ning Chen was about to speak, Yang Yongwang came over. "Two adults, come and have something to eat?" Ning Chen and Feng Qi got up and went over. The only food in the mountains is game.
Yang Yongwang roasted a rabbit for them. Ning Chen and Feng Qi sat on a stone at the entrance of the cave and began to feast. Although there was no salt, the two still ate very happily. ...... At night, a bonfire was set up in the cave. Everyone went to sleep. Ning Chen sat by the fire and looked through the evidence. Qiu Mingde recorded it in great detail. According to Qiu Mingde's record, the fruits of the fairy flower were transported to a weaving and dyeing workshop in Xiucheng. It was a weaving and dyeing workshop on the surface, but it was actually a place to process and refine the fairy powder. Ning Chen guessed that the reason for using the weaving and dyeing workshop as a cover might be because the smell of the pigment in the weaving and dyeing workshop was very strong, which could cover the smell of the fairy powder. He continued to flip back, and his eyes suddenly shrank. Most of the processed fairy powder was sent to the Western Border. But where exactly was it sent to in the Western Border? Qiu Mingde did not record it...Maybe he didn't know either? "Western Border?" Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. Outside the Western Border is the Western Liang Kingdom. And the one guarding the border of the Western Border is the fourth prince. Ning Chen has never seen this fourth prince, but he has heard that he is brave and good at fighting, and has always guarded the Western Gate. Fuck!! ! No way? Prince Duan is colluding with the Fourth Prince? Could it be that the fairy powder shipped to the western border eventually ended up in Xiliang? Could it be that the fourth prince wanted to destroy Xiliang with the fairy powder? Suddenly, Ning Chen's expression froze. A terrible thought suddenly occurred to him... Would the fourth prince use the fairy powder to control the border soldiers? At this moment, Feng Qi turned over, awakening Ning Chen who was thinking wildly. He looked down again.
In addition to Yangping County, there are also Xichuan County and Dongle County. Among them, Xichuan County successfully planted it a few years ago. Yangping County and Dongle County only successfully planted it this year. How much was planted specifically? Qiu Mingde did not record it... He only used the four words "huge number". Ning Chen put away the evidence of guilt. With this thing, it is enough to convict Prince Duan. He took out the secret letters again. After opening them, he found that these secret letters were not signed or signed. And the contents of the letters were all ordinary greetings. Qiu Mingde would never hide a few ordinary letters. The content of this letter must be very interesting... maybe some kind of code can be used to understand it? Ning Chen read it over and over again, tried to shuffle the words and rearrange them, and tried to cut off the beginning and the end... He tried several methods, but still couldn't figure it out. Ning Chen could only put the letter away first and wait until he came back to capture Qiu Mingde. ...... In the next few days, Ning Chen hid in the mountains, waiting for Pan Yucheng to bring people to support him. Other things were bearable. There was a pond not far away where you could take a bath. It was a little cold, but you could bear it. But the only thing you couldn't bear was that you could only hunt some game every day. It didn't matter if there was no salt, but if you ate too much of this stuff, you couldn't poop. Ning Chen hadn't urinated for two days. It took half a month to go from Xiuzhou to the capital. Ning Chen was really worried that when Pan Yucheng brought people, he would be suffocated to death by poop. Just when Ning Chen was worried about his physical condition, he saw Feng Qi running towards him from a distant path with his pants lifted up.
