The death of the deceased was a tragedy.

Wu Guan, the governor, got the news half a day after Li Yichen left with a large group of people.

Wu Guan was furious that the military governor he personally promoted had returned to the underworld less than half a month after taking office.

"Have you found out who killed Lu Tian's only son first, and then killed Lu Tian and his two thousand cavalrymen?"

"Governor, I have personally taken people to see the battlefield outside the city. Most of the two thousand cavalrymen were killed by sharp weapons. Hundreds of them had obviously fled the battlefield, but were shot to death by the enemy. According to the horse hoof marks left at the scene, the enemy was also cavalry, no less than thousands of them."

Wu Guan pondered, "Are there any bodies left behind?"

"There were no bodies left at the scene. According to my guess, either the enemy took the bodies away, or none of them died!"

Wu Guan scolded, "Lu Tian personally led two thousand cavalrymen to chase out of the city. How could it be possible that none of them died? Even two thousand fat pigs could trample the enemy to death. Fang, maybe a few people."

"This useless Lu Tian, ​​this governor really misjudged him. It doesn't matter if he dies, but he took so many soldiers with him to die. This account must be attributed to me. His useless son is always making trouble. He is dead, but he still wants to take revenge. Now he has even lost himself. It's really a father and son who must accompany each other on the road to the underworld."

"Find out who these people are, when did they come to Yuquan City, who did they have contact with, and why did they conflict with a playboy like Lu Tian!"

In fact, Wu Guan also had some guesses in his heart. In Mozhou, the only troops that can kill 2,000 Mozhou cavalry effortlessly are under the command of the Qin Army, and no one except the Qin Army dares to attack the government soldiers without scruples.

Two days later, Wu Guan finally found out that the other party claimed to be a merchant who came to Yuquan City to do business. Lu Yue was also unlucky and just ran into the muzzle of the other party's gun.

Wu Guan sent people to confiscate the goods left by Li Yichen and others in the inn. He was still wondering in his heart why these people bought these medicinal materials if they were from the Qin army.

As for the role played by Guangyuan Commercial Bank in this matter, Wu Guan did not dare to delve into it. After all, the background of Guangyuan Commercial Bank was unfathomable, and even the royal family was very secretive about it.

In Guangyuan Commercial Bank, Ming Yuexi stood in front of the window on the third floor, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.

Sun Siwen pushed the door open and said, "Miss, the spy we sent out has sent news that Li Yichen is on his way back to Daqu County."

Ming Yuexi nodded and said, "Sure enough, this Lu Tian failed to cause any obstacles to Li Yichen. Send a visiting card to the state government. I want to see the governor Wu Guan."

Sun Siwen took the order and left.

In the state government, Wu Guan, who received Ming Yuexi's visiting card, was a little confused. What did the eldest lady of Guangyuan Commercial Bank want to see him for?

However, considering the background of Guangyuan Commercial Bank, he did not dare to be negligent.

That night, Wu Guan held a banquet in his house, waiting for the so-called Miss Guangyuan Commercial Bank to visit.

Ming Yuexi brought Sun Siwen to Wu Mansion. After exchanging pleasantries with Wu Guan, Ming Yuexi went straight to the point: "Governor, I heard that you seized a batch of goods today. To be honest, this batch of goods is of some use to our Guangyuan Commercial Bank. Please give me a favor and return this batch of goods to us."

Wu Guan secretly guessed in his heart that according to his own analysis, this batch of goods should belong to the Qin army. The Miss Guangyuan Commercial Bank came to ask for this batch of goods in person. Could it be that Guangyuan Commercial Bank was the one who supported the Qin army behind the scenes?

Thinking of this, Wu Guan felt that Guangyuan Commercial Bank had a close relationship with the Qin Army, and he said, "This batch of goods is an important piece of evidence. I suspect that the people who bought this batch of goods are rebels disguised as merchants. I'm sorry that this governor cannot agree to Miss Ming's request."

Ming Yuexi was too lazy to waste words and nodded to Sun Siwen.

Sun Siwen took out a token from his body, threw it on the table, and said calmly, "Governor Wu, don't rush to refuse, take a look at this thing first."

Sun Siwen's condescending and domineering attitude made Wu Guan very unhappy, but he still had patience and took the token to look at it carefully with the idea of ​​not wanting to offend Guangyuan Commercial Bank.

Just now, he just felt a little familiar with the token. After carefully observing it for a while, Wu Guan's pupils suddenly shrank and he said in shock, "Imperial King Order!"

For this Imperial King Order, Wu Guan had never seen the real thing, but he had seen the image of this order. This Imperial King Order was made by Emperor Taizong when Beiting was founded.

There are only three in total. Anyone who sees this order is like seeing the emperor in person, and must unconditionally agree to any request from the holder of the order.

Only those who have helped the Beiting Dynasty to rebuild it can get this order. Even Qian Zhen, who has made outstanding contributions, did not have one, which shows how rare this order is.

Wu Guan did not dare to be arrogant anymore, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Seeing the Royal Order is like seeing His Majesty, I obey your order!"

After leaving Wu Mansion, Sun Siwen was puzzled and said: "Miss, this Royal Order can only be used three times before it will be taken back by the Beiting Royal Family. It is extremely valuable. You used the Royal Order this time just to get back these goods, the price is a bit too high."

Ming Yuexi shook her head, and her cold voice sounded in Sun Siwen's ears: "In the eyes of others, this is just a batch of goods, but in my opinion, this batch of goods is of extraordinary significance. I want to use it as a stepping stone to attract jade and go deep into the heart of the Qin army to find out the truth."

"Uncle Sun, make arrangements, bring some people tomorrow, I will personally deliver this batch of goods to Daqu County."

After a few days, Li Yichen finally led everyone back to Daqu County. There were no accidents along the way. Jinlian, who followed Li Yichen and others, was quite scheming and saw that Liu Yuting was very simple.

Along the way, she kept talking with Liu Yuting to enhance their relationship. In a few days, the relationship between the two was like that of sisters. Li Yichen did not point it out. He was also a little curious about what Jinlian's purpose was.

While Jinlian was getting closer to Liu Yuting, she was also very attentive to Wu Song. She took good care of him along the way and always wiped Wu Song's sweat and gave him water at the first time, which made Wu Song, a straight man, very uncomfortable. Even a blind man could see the affection in Jinlian's eyebrows.

After returning to Daqu County, Li Yichen first went to see Jia Xu's situation and then went directly back to Li's mansion. Jinlian was also temporarily arranged to live with Liu Yuting in Li's mansion.

After a few days, Jinlian, who lived under Li Yichen's nose, did not show any abnormality. Instead, she was very virtuous and hardworking. All the work in Li's mansion was taken care of by Jinlian, and every day's meals were cooked by Jinlian herself.

However, Jinlian's cooking skills were good, and the food she made was very delicious. Li Yichen remained calm on the surface, but in fact he had already arranged people to watch Jinlian's every move. Before each meal, he would carefully ask Li Shizhen to check if there were any ingredients added.

Jinlian also often went to the military camp to bring tea and food to Wu Song, which made the generals under Li Yichen's command laugh and tease Wu Song.

At this time, the wheat in Daqu County had been harvested, and under the leadership of Liu Changqing, the farmers under his rule began to sow the improved sorghum seeds.
