Chapter 320 Someone is coming with a cart of gifts
The weather in Daliang changes every moment.

The two people who had reached a preliminary cooperation intention, looking at the current physical condition of the prisoners, decided to stay in Wulibao for another night and enter Yucheng early the next morning.

Xie Yuchuan had no objection, so Xiong Jiushan asked someone to invite the eldest daughter of the Tian family.

The former went back, and the latter went to the study to wait for Tian Su'e.

Not long after, Tian Su'e came to meet him.

Although the accident happened in the early morning due to the invitation of the Tian family, the Tian family was also busy running around when the accident happened. It was reasonable for Xiong Jiushan to find no fault with the Tian family.

When Tian Su'e arrived, she was nervous, thinking that the escorting officials had just finished their work and had time to use this as an "excuse" to make more demands.

Before coming, he had already asked the head manager Tian Qing to prepare some things.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials. She originally wanted to ask the officials and soldiers to stay and deter the bandits, but she didn't expect that they would even dare to harass the government's team escorting the fugitives. This was simply lawless.

Tian Su'e was looking forward to the early return of those from the Tian family who were away.

When Xiong Jiushan saw her coming over with a reserved look on his face, he immediately understood what she was thinking.

"Su'e greets Lord Xiong!" Tian Su'e stood not far from the desk and nodded.

Xiong Jiushan said: "No need to be polite."

"I wonder what you want me to do, sir?"

In the study, Xiong Jiushan told her that he would enter the city tomorrow and could only stay for one day. Tian Su'e was stunned for a moment, a look of uneasiness flashed across her face, but because of what happened today, she could not make any more requests.

There was no trace of accusation in Xiong Jiushan's words, which Tian Su'e thought was a rare act of kindness.

She nodded and could only accept this result.

Xiong Jiushan knew what she was worried about. After thinking for a while, he said, "Someone has come over there and inquired about the situation here. I think Miss Tian doesn't need to worry about them coming down the mountain to Wulibao to cause trouble again."

Tian Su'e nodded slightly, "If this is possible, it would really be a blessing from you, my Lord."

Having said that, thinking of their reckless tactics this time, Tian Su'e asked, "My Lord, will you have a place to stay when you enter the city tomorrow morning?"

Xiong Jiushan was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm just borrowing your way."

"There is not peace in Yucheng right now. Please be careful when escorting him, sir." Tian Su'e said after a moment's hesitation.

Xiong Jiushan's eyes dimmed when he heard this.

After a moment of silence, he nodded, "Okay, thank you for the reminder."

Xie Yuchuan told him that the magistrate of Yucheng County might invite him to his house tomorrow. Tian Su'e also told him that there was unrest in the city. Xiong Jiushan had a feeling that there would be a lot of trouble in Yucheng County ahead.

Ever since he escorted the Xie family, when has Xiong Jiushan ever had less trouble?
I'm used to it, Xiong Jiushan thought.

After Tian Su'e returned, the shopkeeper Tian Qing came up to her and asked, "Miss, what did Lord Xiong say?"

"They are leaving tomorrow, so I'm afraid we can't stay any longer." After saying that, he turned around and asked, "Brother, have they not believed me yet?"

Tian Qing was also anxious and shook his head, saying, "The date should be approaching soon, but the people who went out to inquire about it haven't come back to report the news yet."

The master and servant were speechless for a moment. The officers and soldiers were escorting the fugitives away, and they no longer had the face to ask the officers to stay. The Tian family's men had gone out and had not returned yet, so they could defend the fort and deal with some situations, but the caravan had not responded, and several families in the city had joined forces and were about to destroy the Tian family's business.

Tian Su'e has been holding on for so long and is already very tired.

With so many people to take care of, the Tian family cannot afford to fail. Tian Qing was still thinking about the Xie family's candies. This morning, he accompanied the doctors he invited in and out, and discovered the Xie family's abilities. He couldn't help but propose to the host again: "Miss, the Xie family not only has candies, but also has the magic medicine that can save emergency cases. It's not an ordinary family!"

Tian Su'e looked up at him, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled. For a moment, she was also moved by what Manager Tian said.

But soon, Tian Su'e shook her head and said, "The Xie family's medicine is more effective than Doctor Lu's prescription. It is not an ordinary thing. Our Tian family is so small that we can't keep it."

"What about candy? Miss, are you interested?" Shopkeeper Tian felt that the Tian family could give the sweets business a try.

Tian Su'e's expression eased slightly, "The candy from the Xie family is really good, but they are fugitives after all, and not ordinary fugitives." This is also the fundamental reason why she has been worried.

"Young Miss is afraid of getting involved with the Xie family?"

"It's not without reason. Business matters are small, but life and death are big. Those families in Yucheng are eager to find faults with our Tian family. They have connections in the court, and we can't do anything about it. Before my brother left, he asked me to protect our family business. If something unexpected happens and our family business is destroyed, how can they come back to turn things around?"

Tian Qing stood aside, unable to persuade her any further for the moment, as his young lady's considerations were not unreasonable.

While he was hesitating, a servant of the Tian family came to deliver a letter that the caravan led by the eldest young master of the Tian family was "invited" to the mountain by the bandits of Qinglong Village when they came back!

"what?!"

Tian Su'e stood up suddenly and her face changed drastically!
These bastards!
Xiong Jiushan had just sat down to work at his desk when Tian Su'e came again.

Soon, a few fast horses flew out of Wulibao.

A round lens was quietly retracted into the crack of the door. Xie family guard Zhou Chuan carefully held the telescope and turned back to report to Xie Yuchuan: "General, a bailiff took the Tian family out on horseback. It seems that something happened."

Xie Yuchuan, who was regulating his breathing, opened his eyes and looked at him when he heard this.

"Several people?"

"Five people, three bailiffs."

Xie Yuchuan thought with deep eyes. Zhang Dayi beside him was surprised. "It is said that he has cooperated with the general, so he should not act on his own. I think Xiong Jiushan is quite cautious in his actions."

Xie Yuchuan nodded, "With the Tian family, it shouldn't be a matter of escort. Maybe something happened to the Tian family."

"It's possible." The old man felt that Xie Yuchuan's guess was more reliable.

Because of the telescope, Zhou Chuan never felt tired no matter how long he stared. However, others could not tolerate his hard work. One by one, they came forward to "share his worries" and forcibly pushed him aside, and gloriously took up their new "sentry posts".

The Xie family guards have never been so keen on surveillance.

Zhang Dayi wanted to laugh when he saw the group of young people. Thinking about the departure tomorrow, he turned to ask Xie Yuchuan: "Does the family god have any instructions?"

"None yet."

No accidents, that’s a good thing, the old man thought.

Xie Yuchuan thought of what the family god said about coming to help on the day of suppressing the bandits, and couldn't help but think of the elixir that the family god mentioned casually about Han Qiguang. While he was deep in thought, he heard the guard of the Xie family who was keeping an eye on him suddenly exclaimed "Huh".

"Master, Master Han is coming!"

Xie Yuchuan:?

The guard put down the telescope and said seriously: "It should be Taoist Guanghan who is here."

Han Qiguang, dressed in Taoist robes and looking like an immortal, came over pulling a cart of things.
