Gu Yun did not choose to go by the water route.
However, if they were to expand from that stretch of water, they would be at the critical point of range. One of the main reasons why Gu Yun chose to leave this place was to call for reinforcements.
The news that Shen Huanzhi had brought out was first sent to the Right Shore Merchant Union, and according to the precise location of the Ye Family servant, they would indeed have to head north to the Transcendental Guard, thus they could be considered to have coincidentally met with Gu Yun's people. As the Regional Commander of the Tutelage, Shi Wenjie, was an ex-member of the Sheng Family, and had some relations with Gu Yun, he thought that it would be rather easy for him to be considered to be without official status now, meddling in local affairs, and he did not intend to reveal his identity, but things would be much easier with the presence of a local official who could control the situation.
Song Yanchen was extremely concerned about Shen Huanzhi and Xie Jingxi's disappearance, so he sent his trusted aide Chen Feng over. From Chen Feng's mouth, he found out that Shen Huanzhi's Quadruple Town was not very easy to handle, and Quadruple Town was a small town under the Jing County's jurisdiction that basically did not care about anything else. When he mentioned it, Shi Wenjie's expression was somewhat difficult to describe.
”Quadruple Town.” ”How about this, I'll bring a few people to accompany you on your trip to Master Gu. It's rare for you to come over, and it's because of Madam's accident, so I'll have to settle the matter for you.”
thought that he could follow them, but of course he would have no objections if he went in person, the matter was easy to handle, but it turned out that Shi Wenjie was the wisest person to do it. Along the way, the troubles caused even Gu Yun to be shocked.
Let alone Gu Yun, even Shi Wenjie did not know much about this place. Besides being poor, even the taxes on this kind of place would be lower than others, such a place would not even enter the eyes of the higher ups. However, the East Fence Village that was not far from the Quadruple Town was a rather famous place. Not only did it have a reputation, it also had a lot of trouble.
When they were entering Jing County, Shi Wen Jie, Gu Yun, and the others did not plan to alarm the local county magistrate. Since Shi Wen Jie had personally come, it was inevitable that he would have to pretend to be up and down, and it must have been a blind delay, not only in time but might have alarmed the people from the Quadruple Town ahead of time. Gu Yun was suspicious of the Quadruple Town now, so he felt that it was better to sneak in secretly.
However, before they even entered Jing County, the county magistrate had already welcomed them out of the city gate. However, before they even entered Jing County, the county magistrate had already welcomed them out of the city gate.
As long as they didn't alert the county magistrate along the way and didn't make any noise, then all this would have been too far-fetched if Sergei had a face that everyone recognized. Therefore, something must have gone wrong.
Fortunately, before he came, Gu Yun was afraid that they would attract more attention, and intentionally kept a distance between him and the people from the Right Shore Merchant Union. Once the situation developed, Gu Yun immediately alerted them not to follow him into the city, who knew if there would be any tricks behind the city.
Since he was recognized, he couldn't pretend not to know him, so Governor Shi had to personally come down to the county to enjoy the scenery, and also to find a suitable reason. When Shi Wen Jie and the Prefecture Overseer went back and forth, Gu Yun paid attention to the movements in his surroundings, it seemed like the Prefecture Overseer had brought a group of people here to welcome them.
He wanted to know which bastard dared to act like a grandfather and chop people off on the spot. This also meant that not only was there a problem with the Quadruple Town, the entire Jing County would also be divided into two parts, and even larger ones, the few towns he had passed through before coming here were not clean either. This was clearly under the protection of a sentry.
He did not grind with the county official and directly said that he was going to inspect the affairs of the people in the East Hedge Village. However, the county official was extremely enthusiastic about the style of the dog legs, and it was only a matter of hugging Governor Shi's leg and calling him grandpa, which was a waste of time. ”Master Shi, you came so easily, you have to give your subordinates some opportunities to pay your respects, to eat, to drink some tea, for the sake of the village nearby, to grab a handful of grain from the East Hedge Village.
As long as Shi Wenjie stepped in with one foot, he would be immediately caught by the wolves. Gu Yun, who had nowhere to hold back his anger, directly rushed over to Shi Wenjie and grabbed his collar. His breath could freeze Zhi Xia's face immediately.
”Stop wasting time with me, lead the way, I'm going to enter the East Fence Village, if you dare talk any more nonsense, I'll immediately cripple your tongue, and tell your people to be smarter, don't think that I'm afraid of you just because there are too many people around, whoever dares to go up and try, don't even think about leaving the boundaries of Great Chen, that's fine, but this grandpa wants to kill whoever.”
Gu Yun did not even look in the mirror, as he did not know that he was actually like a King of Hell himself. This scared Shi Wenjie so much that his heart skipped a beat, he subconsciously followed behind him and shot a glance at his men, covering Gu Yun all the way to the city gate.
As Gu Yun carried Zhi Xia like a dead dog, he walked forward. Zhi Xia's face was the color of a pig's liver and she could not spit out a single word, but she could only let out a strange sound, not knowing if she could make it to the East Fencing Village alive.
