Chapter 366 Going to Desert City

Shen Jia and others followed Wang Ning to the nearest road exit.

There is a very special sign next to the road. If you are not familiar with it, you would never guess that this is the exit of the road.

Wang Ning pushed aside the obstacles at the exit and led them in.

After walking about a thousand meters from the exit, you will reach the entrance to the secret passage.

A simple formation was also arranged at the entrance. It would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to walk out of the formation without someone to lead him. However, for someone like Shen Jia who was proficient in formations, it was a piece of cake and there was no obstacle at all.

The group walked into the secret passage, which was not small and could accommodate a carriage. Prime Minister Jiang must have had this in mind when they were building the road.

This secret passage was more than 700 meters long, and the group walked out quickly. There was also a formation set up at the exit.

This is a village less than a hundred miles away from Wucheng in the direction of Mocheng. Except for some elderly people, almost everyone in the village has fled.

However, because the Tatars did not capture Wucheng, they did not harass here, and the village was relatively peaceful.

When the old people in the village saw them, they just glanced at them and ignored them.

They did not dare to disturb the old man's peaceful life. They just nodded slightly and strode away.

Xiao Hongbin's old subordinates and other people from the Black Wind Village were all in Mocheng. Wang Ning had no internal strength and could not perform light skills with them.

Xiao Yichen decided to go back to Wucheng first and then ride to Mocheng tomorrow.

The group hurried and finally returned to Wucheng at 3 p.m.

After washing up and having a meal, Xiao Yichen summoned Yi Zhenpeng and Luo Yan.

Xiao Yichen introduced Wang Ning to them, and also told them about the gold mine and the road built by the people from Black Wind Village.

Xiao Yichen glanced at them calmly and said, "One of you is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Frontier Army, and the other is the general of Wucheng. They have been active in the Liangshan Mountains for several years, but you were completely unaware of it. If it weren't for the king and the Princess Protector of the Country finding out, what would the consequences be? You should be able to guess it without me telling you."

Yi Zhenpeng and Luo Yanwei lowered their heads and thought seriously. If they were allowed to continue digging for gold in there, Xiao Hongbin would have gold as his backing. He would be like a blade of grass, which would come back to life in the spring breeze as long as it did not die.

Even if Xiao Hongbin died, his remaining forces could still do things in secret, not to mention that there was a Tatar eyeing them covetously. Moreover, the road connected Tacheng, Wucheng and Mocheng, making it easier for them to do something.

Even if the Tatar army was defeated by the Zhou army, as long as they were not completely wiped out, they would have a chance to turn the tide with the huge amount of gold and secret roads.

When the two men thought of this, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads and backs. They knelt on the ground with a thump, "I failed to supervise you. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

They made such a big mistake that they cannot avoid the responsibility of negligence.

"Get up! The battle is imminent, so I won't punish you for now. If you do it again, humph!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"People from Jiangnan and Lingnan will arrive in Wucheng the day after tomorrow. There will be more than 8,000 people in total. You should go and make arrangements first. Also, find a large yard near the house and set up a female medical team for the princess."

"Yes" The two had many questions in their minds, but Xiao Yichen didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask.

After they left, Shen Jia poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yichen: "Gold mines and treasures, what are your plans?"

"Let's have someone carry the wooden boxes we dug out back first. Xiao Hongbin's men have been wiped out by us, and Amur's men won't go digging for gold for a while, so don't worry about them for now. The war is more important, so let's talk about everything after it's over."

"I can set up a formation near the treasure I dug out so that people can't find it. Then they don't have to worry about it."

"That's a good idea. After we return from Mocheng, we will first go to the gold mine to set up the formation. Then we will start to deploy the troops to attack the Tatars. After half a month, we will fight a decisive battle with the Tatars."

"How about we make more bombs?"

"Very good! More bombs, more protection! As long as our plan is thorough, we will be able to kill all the Tatars without leaving a single piece of armor." Xiao Yichen looked at Shen Jia's clear and lively eyes with burning eyes. He could clearly see his own reflection in them, which made him involuntarily immersed in it.

The whole world seemed to have stopped, and only their unreserved love for each other was intoxicating. At the hour of Mao the next day, Ling Yunsu led the people of Tianji Pavilion to the gold mine to carry the wooden box back.

Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen, Shen Hao and Wang Ning rode at full speed towards Mocheng.

The Tatars could not capture Wucheng, so they did not harass the area between Wucheng and Mocheng. The villages and towns they passed along the way were relatively peaceful, and the faces of the common people did not show that kind of despair and sadness.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen were deeply relieved by this.

They first arrived at Mocheng at 3 p.m.

Mocheng did not prohibit ordinary people from entering or leaving like Tacheng and Wucheng.

Instead, the city gates are opened at the middle of the Chen hour and closed at the beginning of the You hour every day.

In order to avoid spies, it is easier to leave the city than to enter. In addition to checking their household registration, people entering the city also have to register various information.

For example, if you are visiting relatives in the city, you need to register the relatives' names, where they live, and how many days they need to stay in the city. If you are a peddler in the city, you also need to register what kind of goods you sell, which street you are on, when you leave the city, etc.

When Shen Jia and his companions arrived at the city gate, they found that only a few people were entering the city, but quite a few were leaving.

"Stop! Hand over your household registration documents." The soldier guarding the city gate stopped Shen Jia and his group and shouted sternly.

Shen Hao took out his household registration document from his sleeve and handed it to the soldier, then whispered a few words to him.

The soldier's face changed drastically and he left in a hurry.

Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen and Shen Hao stood outside the city gate with their hands behind their backs, watching the scenery. The common people in Northern Xinjiang seldom saw such handsome young men, and they couldn't help but glance at them curiously when passing by. They all smiled and nodded.

Wang Ning was standing behind and watching this scene, he was filled with admiration in his heart, just their demeanor alone was far better than that of the Fifth Prince, not to mention their abilities and wisdom, the Fifth Prince could not even come close to them even if he tried his best throughout his entire life.

The soldier came back soon, followed by a strong and handsome general wearing armor.

This person was none other than General Xie Feng under Yi Zhenpeng, and the entire Mocheng army was under his command.

"General Xie Feng..."

"General Xie, there's no need to be so polite." Xiao Yichen raised his hand to signal Xie Feng not to reveal his identity in public.

Xie Feng bent even lower: "Thank you very much, sir! Gentlemen, please follow me into the city."

Shen Jia and Shen Hao nodded slightly, then mounted their horses and entered the city with Xiao Yichen, with Wang Ning following behind them.

Xie Feng took them directly to the general's mansion.

Generals stationed on the border, such as Yi Zhenpeng and Luo Yan, have their own general mansions in the cities where they are stationed.

But because Ling Yunsu bought a house in Wucheng, Shen Jia has never been to their general's mansion.

The main door to the general's mansion was wide open, and Xie Feng personally welcomed them in.

Xiao Yichen sat at the top, Shen Jia sat next to him, and Shen Hao sat down at a random seat.

Xie Feng sat down only after getting Xiao Yichen's nod. Wang Ning stood awkwardly, as he couldn't sit down without Xiao Yichen's permission.

In ancient times, classes were clearly defined and rules were strict; in front of the real powerful, the lives of ordinary people were worthless.

Under the influence of Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen didn't care about these rules in front of familiar people. But outside, when he wanted to establish his authority, he still paid attention to the rules.

Xiao Yichen said calmly: "Wang Ning, please sit down too!"

"Thank you, sir!"
