The time goes back a few days ago, when the Qin brothers were first recruited.
The reconnaissance team and escort team led by Zhou Da, Ma Jin, and Hu Guangcong were now divided into two, with half following the Yang Wei Escort back to Chang'an and the other half staying in Xiangping.
The Yang Wei Escort Agency is very important. It contains almost all their belongings and they must ensure that this batch of medicinal materials is safe. In addition, they had to escort the Sixth Young Madam's natal relatives from Chang'an to Pingzhou, which was a big task anyway.
Hu Guangcong was kicked out by Zhou Da and Ma Jin, and he and the people from the Yang Wei Escort escorted the valuable medicinal materials back to Chang'an.
This guy had such a good life following the Crown Prince and his group that he gained weight. Now, if I take another walk, I will lose some weight.
The troops staying in Xiangping also have a very heavy task. They are mainly responsible for guarding the safety of the Qin family's young and old, and waiting for orders to do things.
Therefore, they soon found out about Xiangping Military Station's dispatch of male prisoners to support Liaoyang.
The people in the military camp even went so far as to go out of their way to recruit men on the street. It was not intentional anyway. They would pull men away when they saw them wandering on the street. This frightened the men near the military camp in Xiangping to the point where they hunkered down at home and did not dare to show their faces. .
Zhou Da and Ma Jin looked at each other and realized that the prince and the others had been drafted into the army, so naturally they couldn't be left behind.
Zhou Da immediately said, "Ma Jin, I'll order twenty people to come out and follow them to Liaoyang to protect the prince and the others. You and the remaining six or seven brothers stay in Xiangping and protect the second young master and the sixth young mistress."
"Why should you go and I stay? I will lead the troops to follow you and you stay." Ma Jin refused, he also wanted to fight!
Zhou Da glared at him, but the other party didn't disobey him and glared back.
Zhou Da knew that the opponent would not give up unless he showed some real skills, so he said, "What about guessing? The loser stays."
"Okay, just guess the game, you will win or lose in one round!"
In the end, Ma Jin lost.
Zhou Dadao, "You choose a few brothers to stay!"
Ma Jin glared at him and murmured in his heart, Zhou Da is not the son of a man, he will just let me do things that offend others!
Sure enough, everyone wanted to go to war and perform meritorious service. As soon as he looked at his brothers, everyone dispersed, leaving only an open space for him.
"Time is urgent, Ma Jin, hurry up!" Zhou Da urged.
Ma Jin immediately yelled at the group of bastards, "I won't talk nonsense to you. I will close my eyes and leave whoever I point my finger at."
Soon, those who remained were selected. They stood aside obediently. They had no choice but to be chosen like this. It was bad luck for them.
"Let's go, let's go!" Everyone cheered and pushed.
Isn't it just a young man being caught? They can do this!
So Zhou Da led 20 people, one by one, on the streets of Xiangping at random times, and was successfully arrested.

After reading the newspapers from Chang'an City in the past two or three months, Xie Zhan's eyes fell on Zhang Xian's life history and he remained silent.
He did not expect that in just two months, the situation in the officialdom of the Chang'an City court would turn out like this, especially that of Zuo Anmin, who would be directly deprived of such a large piece of power by Zhang Xian.
He knew Zhang Xian. As early as the age of thirteen, he decided to pursue an official career. His grandfather asked him to recite the resumes of current officials.
These people are all noteworthy. They may be particularly outstanding in some aspects, and Zhang Xian is one of them.
When Zhang Xian was sent to a remote area because of Yan Hua, his grandfather was still alive and commented that it would be very difficult for people like Zhang Xian to work in office until they die of old age without the guidance or support of noble people. It was normal, as he had spent more than ten years of his prime time in the border town of Pingzhou, which confirmed his grandfather's words.
Now, the most unlikely thing happened, and Xie Zhan couldn't help but suspect that Zhang Xian had met someone who could guide him or support him.
Zhang Xian's strong rise to power is somewhat influenced by Lu Desheng. They all said that Lu Desheng was Zhang Xian's nobleman. It was Lu Desheng who cherished his talents and gave Zhang Xian some pointers. This was also to disgust the former Yan Hua.
Xie Zhan always felt that their relationship should be more than simple as seen on the surface. They should have a deeper relationship. Everything was because Zhang Xian had changed so much.
Thinking again about the exile of the Qin family, they must pass through Yanzhou, and Tonghua County, where Zhang Xian worked before, is also a must-pass. He couldn't help but suspect that they had already made peace before Zhang Xian returned to Chang'an.
Sometimes he feels like he's thinking too much. But he knew in his heart that it was possible.
Looking at the current layout of Chang'an City, it is very close to his guess.
Therefore, Xie Zhan concluded that Zhang Xian was from the Lu family. Even if he was not, his rise to power should be inextricably related to the Lu family.
This resulted in his original advantage in Chang'an being equalized.
Also, the new emperor is also making progress, and he has learned the way of checks and balances.
Everyone was making progress, but Xie Zhan was temporarily stopped.
In addition, even under such a situation, I don't know if the letter he sent to Chang'an City through the hands of the servants will have the expected effect.
Just when Xie Zhan was feeling heavy, Zhao Yutan pushed the door open and poured tea and water for him.
Xie Zhan's eyes fell on the deep dress she was wearing, which was sent by the Chen family. Chen family...
Zhao Yutan finished refilling his tea and was about to go out, but Xie Zhan held her hand.
Zhao Yutan's face quickly turned red. After arriving in Nandi, she found that her husband was much closer to her.
Xie Zhan stood up, came to her side, and asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling better lately?"
Zhao Yutan nodded slightly, "Much better."
"That's good." Xie Zhan hugged her and went to the inner room.
…
Ji Wuyin received a letter from Beidi. The letter was transported by water. He raised his eyebrows. It was quite fast.
During this period of time, Ji Wuyin thought a lot, and he became more and more certain that the old guy had found a new master. The old man was very afraid of death. If there was no special reason, he would never go to Liaoxi County. It's too close to Xianbei. If you're not lucky, you'll get hit accidentally.
The reason why the old guy could take such a big risk to stay there was beyond him except that he found the new master. Because except for the old guy who would sacrifice for his great goal, no other person or thing was worth taking such a big risk.
When Ji Wuyin read the letter, he had only one feeling: the person behind the old guy really wanted to tie Xie Zhan to death on the Chen family boat.
In Ji Wuyin's opinion, this letter was to ask him to send someone to remind Chen Jiaye and force Xie Zhan to marry Chen's daughter, and to bind the two tightly through marriage.
It can be seen that this plan is aimed at Xie Zhan, not the Chen family.
Does the person behind the old thing have a grudge against the Xie family? He pulled something out in his heart. He had a grudge against the Xie family and the current forces in the North. He pulled them out one by one, and then crossed them out one by one...
