If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

The Lord of Guazhou City glanced at him and asked in a stern voice, "Besides this, do you have any other solution?"

The captain was choked by the air in his throat and could not move up or down. He could only cough with a red face: "Cough cough cough..."

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that ever since they received the secret letter from the capital five days ago, they knew that there was no other way to go except to obey.

"Oh, I hope that young general has some..." The city lord could not continue his words when he saw the captain's half-smile in his eyes.

Even the most magnanimous person would be provoked to show some courage if he is tricked like this, let alone a young and energetic general.

"How many days will it take to reach Guazhou Post Station?"

"Three days at the fastest, four days at the slowest."

After that, the two of them never spoke again, and an increasingly depressing atmosphere gradually spread in the study.

Before dawn the next day, a donkey cart, simple as it could be, drove out from the City Lord's Mansion and the Commandant's Mansion, heading towards the Guazhou city gate, one from the south and one from the north.

On the evening of the third day, Situ Yixu's army arrived at the Guazhou Post Station.

"General, I am incompetent!" With the previous experience in Yuzhou as a lesson, before the army set out for Guazhou, Situ Yixu sent his deputy general with his name tag to the post station in advance to make arrangements.

Situ Yixu, who was sitting on the horse, looked at the deputy general kneeling in front of the horse, then looked at the whole field of white or gray heads in front of the post station, and he was so angry that he laughed, "Oh, this really thinks highly of me!"

"General?!"

Situ Yixu raised his hand to stop the deputy general from saying, "Soldiers, rest as planned. Let's go meet the mayor and the captain of Guazhou Prefecture to see who thinks highly of me, Situ!"

As he said this, he turned his horse's head and galloped to the right. The seven people following him also turned their horses' heads. The kneeling deputy general hurriedly got up, jumped on his horse, and rushed to the front as fast as possible to lead the way.

"Hello, hello..."

Wang Wei, who was following behind the team, looked in the direction the team was speeding away. His eyes flashed a few times, and then he regained his composure before anyone else noticed.

In front of the Guazhou government office, Da Wu jumped off his horse, walked forward, and knocked hard on the door.

"Who is it? Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? Are you looking for death?" The gatekeeper shouted obscenely, "The master has left the yamen. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow morning."

He was answered by even louder knocks on the door.

"Do you want to die? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" The bailiff rubbed his eyes. The moment the door opened, before he could react, his body was knocked out by the door that was pushed open from the outside.

A group of seven or eight people passed by him with a murderous aura, and the curse that was about to come out of his mouth was swallowed back into his stomach.

Before he could get up and stand firmly, the team leader who was in charge of guarding the north gate tonight rushed in hurriedly.

"Who was that just now?" The bailiff grabbed the leader's sleeve and asked anxiously.

The captain wiped the sweat off his face, took a quick look at his embarrassed look, and said with a bit of reluctance, "General of the Northern Expedition, remember to be smart tonight."

After saying that, he rushed to the lobby of the government office. Something big happened at the city gate, and he had to rush over to report it no matter what, even though he was quite late.

Situ Yixu and others went straight to the lobby of Guazhou government office. After he sat down in the first seat, the night watchman rushed in in disheveled clothes.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the lobby of the government office?!" the leading bailiff shouted, waving his weapons.

Before he finished speaking, a token symbolizing Situ Yixu's identity was handed to him.

"I am honored to meet you, General. I am blind and fail to recognize a great man. Please spare my life, General. I demand your life." The yamen runner who followed in knelt on the ground with a plop, and knocked his head against the ground with a "dong dong" sound.

"Where are the Lord and Commander of Guazhou City now?"

"In the backyard..."

"Please go and bring them here, gentlemen." Situ Yixu rubbed his forehead and looked at the two gentlemen.

"Yes, young master." The two men responded with a fist salute, and followed the yamen runners who led the way out. Da Wu and Xiao Wu followed at the princess's signal.

Only then did Situ Yixu truly understand the secret order and the purpose of his grandfather and father sending these five people to follow him.

Soon, the two were brought up one by Da Wu and Xiao Wu, and thrown into the center of the lobby with a "plop".

"It seems like you two had a good sleep." Looking at the two men with disheveled clothes and sleepy eyes, Situ Yixu teased sarcastically.

The two people, who had been frightened for several days, finally managed to close their eyes tonight. However, just as they fell asleep, someone pulled the quilt out of the bed. Only then did they realize what had happened.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the lobby of the government office?" The Lord of Guazhou City rolled his eyes and decided to take the initiative.

Situ Yixu ignored the two people below, looked up at the two gentlemen who walked into the lobby, and asked anxiously: "Have you found the things?"

The two nodded with a smile and raised the wooden box in their hands, "Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission. Everything is here."

The city lord and the captain turned around when they heard the voice. After seeing clearly what the two men were holding, they collapsed to the ground. They felt as if the sky was falling. Wasn't that something they had racked their brains to hide? How could it be found out so quickly?

This is also the last bargaining chip for both of them to survive!

"Has the person been brought back?" Situ Yixu looked out the window through the lobby.

"Yes, sir, there are thirty-two people in total, not one missing. The two who were sent out have just been caught up!" A man outside the door answered.

"What, who?" The Lord of Guazhou City was so anxious that he sat up straight and asked in a trembling voice.

The sarcasm on Situ Yixu's face became more and more obvious. "It's the two people you were thinking of. Who else could it be?"

"You, you can't do this. You are breaking the law knowingly. I, we want to see the emperor."

"Oh, do you know what 'knowingly breaking the law' means? You should have thought about the consequences this year when you did that kind of thing. If you want to see His Majesty, make an appointment in your next life. Haha, I'm afraid that His Majesty doesn't want to see you two daring creatures again in the next life!"

After Situ Xuyi finished speaking, he looked at the sky outside. It was really getting late, and they didn't have much time to waste with these two people. "Just drag them away, and the other family members will be taken back to the capital tomorrow."

"Drag them away? Escort them?" The two people on the ground, who had originally held out for a glimmer of hope, became truly scared at this moment.

"Even if you are the prince, you cannot resort to lynching. Who gave you the right?" The captain also bravely began to protest. If he did not fight for it now, he might never have another chance in his life.
