The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1089 Beginning

"Governor Sheng? We are incompetent. The situation at the post station is really confusing." Ge Qingyu lowered her eyes and sighed, "I'm afraid she and Marquis Ancheng are not in the post station anymore. As for their exact whereabouts, my husband guessed that they should have left the city and returned to the capital the day before yesterday. However, I think she is more likely to have gone to Linfu. According to the intelligence I got earlier, the commander stationed in Linfu seems to have a close relationship with them."

"The commander of Linfu is surnamed Lu. He is the great-nephew of Lao Baoxiang Marquis and the uncle of Chengzhong Marquis's son Lu Sheng. Humph, with this relationship, relying on the relationship between Lu Sheng and Sheng Wenzhen and Ancheng Marquis, let alone surrendering, even if it means borrowing troops, I'm afraid that General Lu will agree!"

When Ge Qingyu heard what Nanny Zhi said, her eyelids twitched.

"There was talk of borrowing troops before, but my husband sent people to follow and monitor us, and I also tried to find out indirectly... Governor Sheng has a lot of people available, but the additional people seem to be from the inner guards stationed in Linfu."

"Humph!" Nanny Zhi sneered at Ge Qingyu's guess, "If that's true, then the rumor about the seal is eight out of ten true! Otherwise, Sheng Wenzhen wouldn't have slipped away so quickly!"

Ge Qingyu did not dare to take it lightly, and after a moment's deliberation, she said, "If Governor Sheng has already left, then... will Mammy still proceed as usual tonight?"

Nanny Zhi looked at her with a slightly raised lip corner: "Madam, you previously guessed that Sheng Wenzhen had already escaped, but you still followed the steps to wait for the old woman, and now you ask whether you should take action?"

Ge Qingyu raised her eyelids and met the other person's gaze: "Madam has always had the final say on whether to take action or not. We follow orders and must be fully prepared."

When Nanny Zhi heard this, she looked into her eyes and couldn't help but narrow them.

"Even if Sheng Wenzhen escaped, we can't come here in vain... What's more, she is always good at creating confusion and making it hard to tell what is true and what is false." Nanny Zhi pointed her finger on the map, "Our focus tonight is here!"

"The Internal Guard’s station?!" Ge Qingyu was shocked when he heard that.

Nanny Zhi ignored her reaction and said, "Sheng Wenzhen failed to contact the inner guards of Linfu. I don't know, but what is certain is that she has a good relationship with the inner guards stationed in Zezhoufu. She can even find out the hidden mines in Zezhoufu."

"Madam, please understand. My husband and I have never revealed anything!" Ge Qingyu's face changed, and she hurriedly took it out for herself and her husband. "Even if the Lord and Madam want to reveal it, they should know the location." Madam Zhi waved her hand, letting Ge Qingyu not say anything more. "Fortunately, Sheng Wenzhen is arrogant and didn't rush to report the mining incident in Zezhou Prefecture to the capital."

Ge Qingyu was shocked by the nanny's implied meaning. She really didn't expect that this nanny could grasp the situation of the central government of Kyoto at all times.

"In that case, then the matter of Zezhou Prefecture having a mine should be handled quietly as before. What do you think, madam?"

Ge Qingyu knew clearly that Nanny Zhi had ambitions, but she never expected that her ambitions would be so illogical when put into practice.

"Although the Inner Guard and the garrison rarely interact with each other, according to the court's regulations, they are required to help each other. If the Inner Guard is attacked, I'm afraid the garrison..."

"The pirates are looting on the shore, and the garrison here still cares about the internal security department?" Nanny Zhi clapped her hands with a smile, "Madam, why don't you make a bet with this old woman to see if the garrison has the ability to take care of the front and the rear?"

……

"This is the map of the city given to you by the maid you met with. The mansions marked on the map are all powerful ones that you can rob." He Xiangyi handed the prepared topographic map to the person in front of him, "The maid asked me to remind you that although there are granaries, silver vaults, and weapon storage warehouses near the post station and the garrison, the security inside is extremely strong. Don't let greed ruin important things! After all, no matter how much food, silver, and weapons you have, you have to be able to get them before they are yours!"

"Hmm." The man in front of him heard the words, his eyes flashed, and he responded vaguely with a word, put the topographic map away, and left quickly with his men.

……

"Sister Yuan, do you think we can kill them all today?!" On a high platform near the foot of Dahan Mountain, An Yu looked up at the woods in the distance, his eyes full of anticipation.
