Hu Hai, who secretly escaped at this time, actually did not leave Sishui County at all.
When he came out of Xianyang City, Xu Yuwen took care of everything, and there were soldiers and horses guarding him on the road. He didn't need to worry about anything, he just needed to sit in the carriage and enjoy the "journey".
But he wanted to go back by himself, taking only his entourage with him. As for the soldiers, horses, food and grass, he didn't take away any of them.
In addition, he left secretly and was afraid that Xu Yuwen would find him, so he followed the advice of an attendant and decided to leave from the alley.
Unexpectedly, these people were inexperienced and got lost after walking for a long time on the trail.
They didn't bring much dry food with them, nor did they bring enough money. After two days, they ran out of ammunition and food.
Fortunately, when they were desperate, they came to a populated place.
"Sir, why don't I go find someone and ask you how to get to Xianyang this time?"
Hu Hai, who had not eaten for a day, was too tired to speak.
And at this time, his face had long lost the charm of the past.
He was breathing heavily, with his back on the tree, and nodded fiercely: "Go!"
The attendant glanced at Hu Hai and the people behind him who were too tired to straighten their backs, and immediately ran away.
Hu Hai sat there, regretting his recklessness.
At the same time, he was also cursing. He felt that the person who caused him to be like this was Ran Fang!
If it hadn't been for Ran Fang's suggestion, his father would have been reluctant to let him suffer like this.
When he returns to Xianyang, he must complain to his father and ask him to behead Ran Fang and then release Zhao Gao.
If he hadn't been worried about Zhao Gao, he wouldn't have secretly returned to Xianyang City by himself.
As long as Zhao Gao is by his side, he won't worry no matter what happens.
While he was thinking wildly, he saw the attendant running back in a hurry.
There was a man following behind him. Judging from the man's clothes, he seemed to be an official.
However, this man has thick eyebrows, a strong back, a bearded face, and astigmatism in his eyes. He looks very shrewd. I wonder if he will report his itinerary to his father?
"See Mr. Hu Hai."
"I am the head of the Sishui Pavilion in Pei County. I heard that Mr. Hu Hai was here and came to greet him."
The voice was as loud as a bell, which matched his appearance very well.
At this moment, Hu Hai regained his dignity as a prince and looked at the person in front of him with an aloof expression.
"Get up."
After speaking, he stood up with the help of his attendants.
Liu Bang immediately stepped forward and walked to Hu Hai's side, his waist slightly bent.
"Sir, please."
"The food has been prepared at the house. After the young master has finished eating, I will find a carriage to take the young master for a ride."
Hu Hai nodded slightly and followed Hu Hai away.
…
Regarding Hu Hai's matter, although Li Si's people were investigating, Fusu was still worried.
After much deliberation, he decided to go to Ran Fang's mansion.
In the evening, when Fusu arrived at Xianyang Prison, he found many people standing at the door. Everyone was holding something in their hands, and everyone stretched their necks to look inside.
Fusu walked to the front and happened to see Cao Yangyun standing there, blocking the door to prevent anyone from entering.
Fortunately, Cao Yangyun had been paying attention to the movement at the door. He saw Fusu standing behind the crowd at a glance and immediately went to meet him.
Seeing that Fusu was wearing regular clothes, he didn't reveal Fusu's identity.
"Sir, please."
Fusu nodded, and couldn't help but praise Cao Yangyun for being a discerning person.
After entering Xianyang Prison, Fusu found that this place was completely different from the previous dark cell.
At first glance, it looked like it had been re-decorated, but there were empty wooden shelves on the walls, and there wasn't even a window covering, so he was a little confused.
Ran Fang heard someone come into his room, raised his head and glanced at the person, then lowered his head again.
Seeing this scene, Fusu was already very familiar with it and was not angry at all because of Ran Fang's neglect.
Instead, his eyes fell on the thing Ran Fang was sitting on, and the table in front of him. It was much higher than his usual tables, and the thing he was sitting on also had four long legs, which looked weird and harmonious.
Moreover, there are four of those things placed on both sides of the house, which look symmetrical.
"Sir, what is that sitting on?"
Raising his head, Ran Fang happened to see Fusu's eyes falling on his chair and table.
Playing right into his heart, he explained with a smile: "This thing is called a chair. It's very comfortable to sit on and won't bend your legs. Do you want to give it a try?"
"This is a table I redid. It is taller than the previous one and more comfortable to use."
After saying that, Ran Fang stood up and got out of the way, motioning for Fusu to come over and feel it.
Listening to Ran Fang's introduction, Fusu didn't think there was anything good about this thing.
But it looks a bit novel, and it was made by Ran Fang, so he always wants to give it a try.
"good."
Fusu stepped forward, glanced at Ran Fang hesitantly, and then sat on the chair.
He followed Ran Fang's example and put his hands on the table, with his feet firmly on the ground. It felt really good, and there was no discomfort in his legs.
After sitting on it for two seconds, he couldn't help but turn around, raised his head and looked at Ran Fang, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really a good thing!"
Ran Fang looked at him with a smile and motioned for him to just sit down.
Then he sat on a chair nearby and asked, "What brings you here?"
After hearing Ran Fang's question, Fusu seemed to have just remembered the purpose of his trip.
He immediately sat up straight and looked at Ran Fang anxiously.
"Sir, something happened."
"I just received news that Hu Hai disappeared from Surabaya County."
"I'm afraid it's been more than half a month since the news was sent back."
This time it was Ran Fang's turn to be shocked. He didn't expect that Hu Hai would lose it?
Now that Ying Zheng is still alive, it stands to reason that no one dares to attack Da Qin, and he is protected by soldiers. How could he disappear?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of Zhao Gao.
"Could it be that he knew about Zhao Gao?"
"The disaster relief work in Sishui County has not been successful. If Hu Hai wants to come back, is he afraid that he will sneak away secretly?"
After Ran Fang revealed the truth, Fusu looked a little embarrassed.
He lowered his head and nodded imperceptibly.
"Indeed."
"My father has received the news and is very angry, but he is also worried about Hu Hai's safety and has sent Li Si to investigate."
Hearing this, Ran Fang nodded.
After all, Hu Hai is also a prince. If something happens, many people in the court will be anxious. All of this has nothing to do with him.
"Oh, it shouldn't be anything."
But the worried look on Fusu's face did not fade at all, but after hearing Ran Fang's words, he felt a little embarrassed again.
After hesitating for a while, he hesitated and said: "Sir..."
"Do you know where Hu Hai went?"
"How about I send someone to look for it?"
Ran Fang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, looking at Fusu obviously speechless.
Then, he said helplessly: "Young Master, I am just a little Confucian scholar, I don't know the art of Qihuang, forgive me, there is really nothing I can do."
