"Report..."

On the official road, a horse came galloping towards Zhao Yu and his cavalry.

After Shangguan Yundun's assassination, although they were very close to the capital, Lu Jianxing and others no longer dared to be careless.

Therefore, in the next trip, Lu Jianxing sent out six strong men as scouts to explore in three groups and report back every thirty miles!

The horse in front of me is one of the scouts sent out.

The strong man on horseback came to Zhao Yu's horse, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and said: "Report to the envoy of the town, there is an unknown cavalry coming from twenty miles away!"

"oh?"

Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked: "How many riders can we find out?"

"The envoy returned to town with a total of fifty riders. They were all dressed in cold clothes and covered with black gauze. Since they did not carry flags, their origins are still unknown!"

The powerful man told the truth exactly what he had found out.

"Is this a plan to kill the fish and break the net?"

Zhao Yu, who was sitting high on the horse, raised the corners of his mouth slightly. It seemed that An Jianqing was planning to completely break up with him.

Then, Zhao Yu raised his hand.

"Prepare ordnance, check guns and prepare to face the enemy!!"

Lu Jianxing immediately changed the horse's head and shouted loudly to the twenty or so warriors behind him.

"kill!!!"

After checking the ordnance, the warriors shouted in unison.

…

A few minutes later, Zhao Yu and the others could clearly hear the thunderous sound of horse hooves coming from the distance.

Smoke and dust were everywhere as far as the eye could see.

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly placed his hand on the handle of the blood knife at his waist.

Soon, the fifty riders rushed a hundred steps away from them.

One hundred steps... For cavalry, this is the best distance for a charge.

Zhao Yu slowly drew out the bloody sword, and the warrior behind him also quickly picked up the blunderbuss in his hand.

As long as the opponent starts charging, the guns in their hands will kill 30% of the opponent's cavalry before they rush to them!

"Um?"

Zhao Yu, who was already preparing to fight, suddenly raised his eyebrows.

The cavalry on the opposite side stopped a hundred steps away. Not only did they have no intention of charging, but the three leading men in black dismounted directly and ran towards him quickly with their bare hands.

"Subordinates, please see the governor!"

The three of them came to the position ten steps in front of Zhao Yuma and knelt down on one knee.

"Who is coming!!"

Zhao Yu did not answer, but Shen Lian took a step forward, pointing the saber in his hand at the three people kneeling on the ground.

Since someone dares to assassinate Zhao Yu in Beizhili, there will be a first time, a second time, a third time...

"My subordinate is Li Zheng, a confidant of the Governor of Xichang. On the order of the Governor, I came to meet the Governor!"

As the man spoke, he took off a token from his waist and raised his hands.

Shen Liance immediately stepped forward and picked up the waist badge held by the man with his waist knife. After taking a look, he turned around and came to Zhao Yu.

"Reporting to the envoy of the town, he is from Xichang." Shen Lian came to Zhao Yu and handed his waist badge to Zhao Yu.

"Get up!"

Zhao Yu took the token, glanced at it and said to the man kneeling on the ground: "Why did the Governor send you to come with these people to respond?"

Is Fengli Dao full after eating?

At the risk of privately transferring soldiers, send these people here to pick you up?

"I'm going back to town to inform you, sir. The governor received a report from a secret agent in the West Factory. Someone paid ten thousand taels of silver to release Dark Red, and they want to harm you. The governor is worried about your safety, so he specially ordered me to come and respond!"

After Zhao Yu heard this, he sneered and whispered to himself: "Ha... the price of this head has finally increased."

When he was first promoted to Supervisor Qianhu, Zhao Jingzhong offered Ding Xiu a thousand taels of silver to attack him outside the Jinyiwei Yamen.

And in just over a month, this head has swelled more than ten times!

"Okay, since it is the Governor's kindness, I will not be disrespectful. You follow the powerful men from the Supervisor Headquarters, and we will return to the capital together!"

Zhao Yu nodded and then said to the man kneeling on the ground.

"Follow the order!"

The man stood up, first tore off his black robe, revealing the soap clothes underneath, then turned around and waved to the riders behind him.

The fifty knights on the opposite side took off their black robes at the same time and stood on both sides of the official road.

Zhao Yu reined in his horse and led the warriors from the Supervisor Headquarters through the road that the fifty cavalry had given way to.

After all the troops in the headquarters had passed by the cavalry, they looked at Zhao Yu and Lu Jianxing, who looked calm and calm on their faces, and then they released their hands on the handles of their swords.

…

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and we didn't encounter any assassinations or anything like that.

In Zhao Yu's opinion, it might be because the Fifty Cavalrymen who joined the West Factory became so powerful that the killers no longer dared to stroke the tiger's beard.

But in fact, for a master like Shangguan Yundun, these more than 80 cavalrymen really couldn't protect them.

As for the reason why they did not take action, it is estimated that only they themselves know clearly.

In the evening, Zhao Yu and his party finally arrived outside Xizhimen before the city was closed under curfew.

After entering Xizhimen, Zhao Yu and his party went straight to Chengtian Gate.

"Sir, my errands have been completed. Now I have to go back to the Governor's office to return my orders. I will resign!"

After arriving outside Chengtian Gate, Li Zheng came to Zhao Yu, bowed to Zhao Yu and clasped his fists.

"Just wait and wait!"

Zhao Yu smiled slightly, then glanced at the fifty soldiers who followed them and said, "Brothers, please come out of the city to greet me..."

With that said, Zhao Yu took out a gold ingot of about fifty taels from his arms, threw it to Li Zheng and said, "This is the envoy of this town to reward the brothers. Each of them will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

"ah?!"

Not only Li Zheng was stunned, but also the subordinates who followed him to meet Zhao Yu were stunned on the spot.

For this kind of errand, if it were replaced by an ordinary Shangguan, they and their little subordinates would not even be able to do well.

But now the governor of Beisi Town wanted fifty taels of gold.

In Daqian, gold is precious and silver is cheap. Although the government quota is ten to one, in banks, it can often be twelve to one, or even higher.

In other words, Zhao Yu casually rewarded them with a total of six or seven hundred taels!

No wonder those guys who went to Anqing Mansion with the Zhenfu Envoy last time didn’t have the chance to follow him this time, and they all resented it like some old ladies!

It's like riding a horse out of the city and sneaking around. When they came back, the governor directly rewarded them with almost a year's salary!

This kind of thing will never happen once in eight lifetimes!

"It is the responsibility of my subordinates to take over the duties of the governor. This... subordinates dare not take it on..." After all, Li Zheng was someone who hung around big shots, and he knew that some money could not be taken.

Hearing this, Zhao Yu just stared at Li Zheng with a smile and said lightly: "Are you looking down on the envoy of this town?"

Seeing the smile on Zhao Yu's face, Li Zheng suddenly felt a chill down his spine for some reason, and then he cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare, thank you, Lord Zhenfu, for your reward!"
