Zhao Changhe's whole body was cold in an instant, and an idea flashed through his mind.

Chen Yan was unfaithful, saying openly that he would let him go, but secretly sent someone to assassinate him!

This came too quickly, and the others had no time to react, and all of them changed color.

But the arrow did not aim at Zhao Changhe's face, but passed by his cheek.

Zhao Changhe's heartbeat recovered for a long time, and he looked at the arrow with a pale face. He saw a figure limping out of the woods next to him, holding a big knife in his hand, rushing towards him!

"Dog officer! I'll kill you!"

The man's eyes were red, and he screamed. It was none other than Zhao Changhe's deputy general!

"You're crazy! Take him down!"

Zhao Changhe screamed, and the people around him reacted and hurried forward.

The deputy general had a wound on his leg, but he was like a mad tiger. He chopped two people in a row before he finally collapsed. His sword was taken away, he was pressed to the ground and tied up.

"Ungrateful thing!"

"When you were in danger, I tried my best to save you, but when I was in danger, you actually left me and ran away!"

"Zhao! You will definitely not die well in the future!"

The deputy general struggled and cursed, and the wound on his leg that had been hastily bandaged burst open again, and blood flowed straight.

"Bastard, tie him up for this prefect and go back to deal with him by military law!"

Zhao Changhe finally understood why he suddenly did this, and ordered with a guilty conscience.

Everyone heard some clues and frowned, but in the end they could only tie up the deputy general and take him with them silently.

Along the way, they met many remnants of the prefectural army along the way, and gradually found thousands of soldiers, all of whom were tired and exhausted, and more than half of them were injured.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Changhe was filled with hatred, anger, and shock, and his eyes gradually became cold.

It was almost dark when he returned to Wuyin City.

When Zhao Changhe returned to the mansion, the first thing he did was to call the prefect He Dun.

"I greet you, sir!" He Dun arrived soon.

"Humph!" Zhao Changhe thought of Chen Yan's conditions when he saw him, his face sank, and he shouted, "Come here! Capture the traitor He Dun for me!"

"What do you mean, sir!" He Dun was stunned, and the guards on his left and right were also stunned, not knowing why.

"What do you mean? You know it yourself!" Zhao Changhe sneered, "Do you think this prefect will let you overthrow him obediently? Dream on! Let me tell you, after this prefect takes you down, I will immediately summon the elite main force of the prefectural army and enter Qingshan County again! At that time, I will send you two to the underworld together!"

On the way back, Zhao Changhe had already thought it through.

At this point, he had no way out!

If he didn't want his career to be ruined, the only way was to attack Qingshan again!

Chen Yan had just won a great victory, and with the leverage in his hands, he must be relaxed at this time.

Counterattack now is the best opportunity!

Although the 4,000 government troops he brought to Qingshan were lost, there were still 12,000 garrisons in Wuyin. This time he must mobilize all the troops and take down Chen Yan within a day!

Let the other party not even have time to transfer and hand over those leverages to others!

And Chen Yan specifically recommended He Dun, which was enough to prove that this guy must have been bribed by Chen Yan, so Zhao Changhe ordered people to take him down directly.

But after this order was given, more than a dozen guards in the hall still stood still and did not move forward.

"What are you still standing there for! Take him down!" Zhao Changhe roared.

The guards still did not move.

Zhao Changhe finally realized that something was wrong. He turned to look at the guards around him and asked in doubt: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

When he came back just now, he had something on his mind and didn't pay much attention.

In addition, there were many guards in the mansion, and he was only familiar with a few confidants, so he didn't find anything wrong.

At this time, he suddenly realized that the guards in the hall seemed to be a little unfamiliar?

"Don't be surprised, sir. When you were out, I had asked people to replace all the guards in the mansion."

"What!"

Zhao Changhe was shocked and turned back to look at He Dun, only to see that the astonishment on his face had long disappeared, and he was unbelievably calm.

"It seems that everything is just as Lord Chen expected."

"He knows you well, but you don't know him very well."

"Since you dare to let the master come back, how could you not be prepared?"

He Dun sneered slightly.

The blood on Zhao Changhe's face disappeared, and he sat back on the chair with a slump, and his heart sank.

He finally understood that everything was over.

Watching He Dun's hand pressing on the hilt of the sword at his waist, Zhao Changhe said dejectedly: "I lost!"

...

Tang Yun had been in and out of the county government office many times, but today she realized that she knew too little about this place!

Lu Qing did not take her to rest in the courtyard where she stayed last time, but to another smaller courtyard.

The courtyard had a beautiful environment, but there was a room in it, which was more than three meters long and wide. After entering, she found that there was a room with a diameter of two meters.There was a pit of water in the pit, and hot steam was constantly floating up. "What is this?" Tang Yun smelled a sulfur smell as soon as she entered, and was a little curious. "This is a hot spring, designed by my parents, and it is very comfortable to soak in." Lu Qing'er walked to a corner, turned on a mechanism, and a large stream of water came out of it. Tang Yun looked closely and found that the mechanism was exactly the same as the "faucet", but it was much larger. The water coming out of the pipe was ten times larger than the one she had seen in the Nafu Camp. And the water coming out was also accompanied by hot steam, which was obviously hot water! "This water is hot!" She was surprised and tried it, and it was indeed hot! "Yes, my Lord has established the first hot water centralized supply circle within a one-mile radius of the county government."

"All residents within this range can get hot water from the hot water tap at any time as long as they pay a low fee every month."

"And it's non-stop for twelve hours!"

While explaining, Lu Qing'er took out something from the cabinet in the corner and prepared.

Tang Yun still remembered the last time Chen Yan talked about centralized hot water supply. At that time, he heard him say that it was an experiment in the Nafu Camp. Unexpectedly, it has now been promoted to the county town.

As the water level in the pit gradually rose, Lu Qing'er kept pouring the things he took out of the cabinet into the pit, making a sizzling sound.

The smell of sulfur became stronger.

Li Rui, who was standing by, hurried forward to help. She had been drinking other people's Yaochi fairy wine, and she always felt a little embarrassed to watch Lu Qing'er busy alone.

"What are these?" Tang Yun also walked over, grabbed a handful and smelled it.
