As soon as Su Fengnuan finished speaking, Qianhan came to report that she had searched the entire city of Pei, but there was no trace of Shen Zhilan.
Ye Chang waved his hand and said, "There's no need to check, she should have left."
Ye Xidao, "Cheng Gu left the capital and threw the candle show to Xu Yunchu. He himself stayed in the East for three years, but he left the Bauhinia County Lord of Xiangjun King in the City Lord's Mansion in Peicheng for three years. What play is it?"
Su Fengnuan guessed, "Maybe he has some kind of deal with the King of Xiang County? He took the Lord Zijing as a hostage?"
Ye Xi said, "It makes sense. Otherwise, how could the king of Xiangjun be willing to love his daughter?"
Su Fengnuan said, "Let me guess again. The King of Xiangjun intends to conspire against the country and seek rebellion. Then, under this premise, he must have soldiers and horses. He has the barren hills of the Zijing county lord, as a means of recruiting soldiers and buying horses and privately building The land of the armory. Then Cheng Gu may have conspired with him for some purpose, but he doesn't quite trust the King of Xiang County. The city lord's mansion in Peicheng, in case there is any change after the king of Xiangjun is done."
Ye Chang said, "It's reasonable."
Su Fengnuan said again, "According to the city lord, he took away the Zijing county lord a few days ago, so he must have returned her to the east. In this way, they should be rushing to the east now." After saying that, she said, "Can we cut them short?"
Ye Chang narrowed his eyes.
Ye Xi immediately said when he heard the words, "What robbery? Little girl, you won't let me go out to intercept it, right? After all, you and your cousin are going to escort Chu Han to the western border safely, and you also brought Chen Zhiran, a huge team of 10,000 imperial forest troops." Naturally, it is impossible to intercept a fast march."
Su Fengnuan looked at Ye Xi and said, "Senior brother is right, I just want you to do this."
Ye Xi waved his hand immediately, "Don't do it, don't do it, I'm going to accompany you to Wangdi Mountain, don't try to distract me."
Su Fengnuan said to him, "Let's go to the western region first, and return to Wangdi Mountain from the western region. If you go to intercept people, and then lead people to chase us, we will cross the western region and meet at Wangdi Mountain. Time may In time."
Ye Chang said, "Even if it's too late, we'll wait for you at the foot of Wangdi Mountain for a few days."
Ye Xi rolled his eyes, "Cheng Gu has led people away for a few days, how can you be sure that I can lead people to catch up and intercept them? Besides, there are several roads from Peicheng to the East, how do I know?" Which way did they go?"
Su Fengnuan felt reasonable, thought for a moment, walked to the table, spread his pen and ink, and said to Ye Xi, "Let me guess first and see which way they go."
Ye Xi spread his hands, "Guess, you'd better be able to guess correctly. After all, there are countless forks in a city and a pool. It takes thousands of miles to reach the east."
Su Fengnuan has been traveling all over the world in recent years, and the topographic map of the world has already been stored in her mind, so she quickly drew several roads from Peicheng to the east.
Both Ye Chang and Ye Xi got up and walked to her side to see.
After Su Fengnuan finished the painting, he put down his pen and analyzed, "Even if Cheng Gu and Shen Zhilan know martial arts, the Lord Zijing County can't. Because if she knows martial arts, Cheng Gu will place her in Peicheng for three years, and she will always There is a way to escape, but she stayed obediently for three years and was bullied by the city lord's wife for three years. It can be seen that she is a real weak woman. Cheng Gu and Shen Zhilan will not take the nearest mountain road with her."
Ye Chang and Ye Xi nodded together.
Su Fengnuan said again, "In this way, three mountain roads will be removed, leaving two flat roads, one is an official road, and the other is a somewhat tortuous hillside road. Along this hillside road, there are few hunters' houses along the way." And small villages, you can walk in a carriage, usually people who don't want to take the official road to attract attention." After finishing speaking, she said, "So, I deduce that Cheng Gu and Shen Zhilan are carrying the Bauhinia County Lord. They are mysterious and don't want to It is eye-catching, so naturally they will not take the official road. And the narrow mountain roads such as alpine bushes that need to be climbed will not be able to walk. Therefore, they took this last winding road leading to the east, which is relatively flat and not very attractive. A curvy road to the eye."
Ye Chang nodded.
Ye Xi blinked.
Su Fengnuan said again, "It took us three days to leave Beijing to Peicheng. On the day we left Beijing, Xu Yunchu got the news that Shen Zhilan had come to Peicheng, so, that is to say, Cheng Gu picked up Shen Zhilan and brought her to Peicheng. It will only take three or four days to go to Zijing County Lord and leave Peicheng." After a pause, she pointed to the road, "They took this road, counting the journey day and night, at most they walked 800 Li. That is to say, Fenyang.”
Ye Chang said, "If my cousin takes people to the nearest deep mountain road, climb over many high mountains, and if you can ride a horse when you can ride a horse, if you travel day and night, you can reach Fenyang in a day and a half."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "In this day and a half, if they continue to travel day and night, they will be able to reach Andu."
Ye Chang looked at the topographic map and said, "From Fengyang to Andu, it only takes more than half a day to take the nearest deep mountain road."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "That's right." After saying that, she stretched out her hand and gestured at the intersection of the two roads, and said to Ye Xi, "Three days, day and night, I can stop them at the entry point of the eastern border, Xiangnan."
Ye Xi raised his forehead, "Junior Sister, do you have the heart to let senior brother go through mountains and rivers? Even if I stop them, do you think I will still have the strength to stop them?"
Su Fengnuan looked at the topographic map, frowned for a moment, then turned to Ye Chang and said, "Escort Chu Han, go to the western region first, and walk slowly along the way. My senior brother and I went to chase after Cheng Gu and Shen Zhilan."
Ye Xi immediately agreed, "Okay."
Ye Chang said decisively, "No."
The two spoke almost at the same time, one agreed and the other opposed.
Ye Xi rolled his eyes at Ye Chang, "Let me go alone, you don't even have the slightest bit of reluctance, the little girl said go, you immediately disagreed. Brat, you can't treat one person like this."
Ye Chang didn't speak.
Su Fengnuan said to Ye Chang, "After all, you are Ye Shizi of Rong'an Prince's Mansion who is favored by the emperor. Along the way, you brought 10,000 imperial forest troops and settled down along the way. Officials from all over the country have already received the news and are very ostentatious. So, you can't Leave. But we managed to find out about Cheng Gu, involving Shen Zhilan and Zijing county magistrate, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity must not be missed. Senior brother's internal injuries are only 70% to 80%, and he is still not good. I am afraid of him Going alone can't deal with Cheng Gu and Shen Zhilan, so it's most suitable for me to go with him."
Ye Chang said sullenly, "You said you would not separate from me."
Ye Xi stared, "It's only been a few days. Do you want to tie someone to your belt and never leave?" After finishing speaking, he said, "You think I like to go! It's just fine if you don't go. If you don't let her go, then It’s better not to go, I’m too lazy to travel through mountains and rivers.”
Su Fengnuan gave Ye Xi a white look, stretched out his hand to hold Ye Chang's arm, and said to him, "Cheng Gu used to walk around the rivers and lakes for several years, and Shen Zhilan must have used some method to hide her martial arts, so I'm afraid that senior brother will go alone." Difficult to deal with. I will go with him, we will be safe, and we will capture Cheng Gu, Shen Zhilan and Zijing county magistrate."
Ye Chang pursed her lips.
Su Fengnuan said again, "It took us three days, day and night, to reach southern Hunan. After that, we captured them, and then drove back the same way. At most, it would take seven or eight days. You will arrive at about the same time as the seven or eight days' journey. Western region. You wait for us in the western region for a few days, and we will take people to the western region to join you. The left and right are only separated by more than ten days."
Ye Chang's expression was not good.
Ye Xi snorted, "Take care of the overall situation, man, mother-in-law's, sticky and crooked, hurry up."
Ye Chang flicked his sleeves lightly, and a gust of wind blew towards Ye Xi.
Ye Xi let out an "ah" and took a step back, dissatisfied immediately, "If you don't speak well, why move your hands? Is it fun?"
Ye Chang said, "Chichi, you can't shut up."
Ye Xi choked suddenly, "Okay, I'll shut up, do you agree or not?"
Ye Chang rubbed the center of his eyebrows, ignored Ye Xi, turned to Su Fengnuan, and said to her, "You mean, only go with my cousin?"
Su Fengnuan knew that he agreed when he heard the words, and immediately smiled and said, "Qianhan is your bodyguard. Recently, you asked him to follow me, which became a sign that I am with him. Naturally, he will go with the army. Let He Zhi follow me, and give us ten more martial arts guards. That's enough."
Ye Chang heard the words and said, "He Zhi, take it, and bring fifty guards with you."
Su Fengnuan blinked and felt that this was Ye Chang's bottom line, so he didn't bargain and nodded, "OK."
Ye Chang asked, "When is the departure?"
"Of course, start immediately." Su Fengnuan said, "If you delay for a moment, you will delay the trip. Cheng Gu must not be allowed to bring Shen Zhilan and Zijing County Lord into the East Territory. When they arrive at the territory of Xiangjun King, there must be someone to meet them. I'm afraid at that time It’s not good to hijack people.”
Ye Chang naturally knew this truth, and said reluctantly, "Okay, then you should be careful when you walk on night roads and mountain roads."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Don't worry, my senior brother and I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and nothing will happen." After saying that, he reached out and hugged him, and said, "If everything goes well, it will take ten days at the earliest. If it doesn't go well, Maybe half a month."
Ye Chang nodded.
Su Fengnuan picked up the topographic map she had drawn on the table, folded it up, and said to Ye Xi, "Brother, don't pack your bags, just bring your money. Inform He Zhi, count fifty people, and we will leave quietly Peicheng."
Ye Xi nodded, "Okay."
