Chapter 1016 Let Him Go to the Water to Calm Down

"Sir, there is no trace of Zhao Chen's people."

Yingzhou City, Dudu Mansion.

The cronies were reporting the situation outside with Wei Ting.

They spent the whole day guarding various intersections today, but saw no trace of Zhao Chen or anyone else.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the confidants had no choice but to come back and report the current situation to Wei Ting.

"Where is Tianzhu Mountain?"

"What's the situation there now?" Wei Ting frowned. .??.

Even now, he still doesn't know what happened in Tianzhu Mountain.

Did Li Yuan really fall into Zhao Chen's hands?

Where did Luo Yi go?

"Sir, our people went to Tianzhu Mountain to take a look. There are corpses of Tianzhu Mountain bandits everywhere."

"There is no trace of Li Yuan, Zhao Chen and others."

"But in Luo Yi's camp, there were no traces of fighting, but there were blood stains inside."

"The villain thinks Luo Yi may be dead."

"Li Yuan should have been captured by Zhao Chen."

"I just don't know where they are hiding now!" Henchman and Wei Ting explained.

This expression is also a little anxious.

As Wei Ting's confidant, he knows many of Wei Ting's secrets.

He also knows what happened in Tianzhu Mountain.

He also knew that once the Tianzhu Mountain incident was exposed, he would have to die along with Wei Ting.

That's why he tried his best to capture Zhao Chen and others.

But……

Now there is no trace of Zhao Chen and the others at all.

"Luo Yi is dead?" Wei Ting's expression changed, but he didn't say any more.

Wei Ting never imagined how Zhao Chen and others attacked Tianzhu Mountain.

Even veterans like Luo Yi fell into his trap.

But the most important thing for Wei Ting now is to find Zhao Chen and kill him.

"If you can't find anyone, keep looking. No matter what method you use, Zhao Chen and the others must not be allowed to leave the boundaries of Yingzhou."

"Deploy soldiers from various counties and send all officials to

Roads and paths are all blocked. "

"Twelve-hour round-the-clock control."

"Let it be said to the outside world that the Tianzhu Mountain bandits are showing signs of attacking Yingzhou City. This matter must be kept between you and me." Wei Ting said to his cronies.

This moment has reached a critical moment of life and death.

Wei Ting knew very well that once Zhao Chen and others left Yingzhou.

Then it will be the end of Wei Ting.

"Yes, sir." The confidant responded, but did not leave immediately.

"What else?" Wei Ting frowned.

"Sir, didn't the emperor go to Lujiang? Do you think Zhao Chen and the others are thinking of going to Lujiang?" the confidant said to Wei Ting.

Wei Ting was silent and didn't say a word.

Just wave your cronies to leave.

The confidants walked out of the Governor's Mansion, leaving Wei Ting alone standing in the distance.

What his cronies said was not unreasonable.

Zhao Chen captured Li Yuan and would definitely learn about Li Yuanji's whereabouts from Li Yuan.

And Li Yuanji is in Lujiang City.

Then will Zhao Chen go directly to Lujiang to inform the emperor about Tianzhu Mountain?

Thinking of this, Wei Ting felt a sudden chill in his heart.

Once the emperor knew that he had collaborated with those who deserved death, he fell into the trap of bandits in Tianzhu Mountain.

Can you still let yourself go?

If Zhao Chen really informed the emperor of the news, Wei Ting would not be the only one to suffer the consequences.

His entire family...

"Come here, please pass on the order. Zhao Chen, the captain of Zhechong Prefecture, has colluded with the Tianzhu Mountain bandits in an attempt to attack Yingzhou City."

"Everyone who discovers the traces of Zhao Chen and others will be rewarded 100 yuan to anyone who reports it. Anyone who captures Zhao Chen will be rewarded 100 yuan." Wei Ting's cold voice came from the Governor's Mansion.

…

Zhao Chen and others wanted to go to Lujiang City.

But not yet

They set out, and Zhao Chen's portrait had been posted at every intersection inside and outside Yingzhou City.

He threatened that Zhao Chen was colluding with the Tianzhu Mountain bandits.

Clues to encourage the people of Yingzhou, Zhao Chen and others.

Soldiers from Zhechong Mansion also patrolled various intersections constantly.

There was no chance to get out at all.

"Zhao Da, what should we do now?" Cheng Chumo and Zhao Chen asked.

Wei Ting dealt with them in such a big way, obviously preparing to fight them to the death.

Cheng Chumo was a little worried.

After all, there are only a dozen of them, plus the burden of Li Yuan.

How could one escape from such a siege?

"Zhao Chen, now that things have happened, stop struggling. You can't escape."

"If you want to survive, you have to let me go. When I go to Wei Ting, I will say a few good words to you."

"Maybe your lives will be saved."

Before Zhao Chen could speak, Li Yuan beside him felt a strange expression of anger.

Zhao Chen didn't pay attention to him either.

He said to Cheng Chumo, "Wait a moment. As for Lujiang, we have no way to go for the time being. Let's solve the immediate crisis first."

"Resolve the immediate crisis?"

"Zhao Chen, are you kidding?"

"There are people from Wei Ting everywhere outside now, and every intersection is blocked. If you want to leave, I'm afraid you're not dreaming!" Li Yuan said with a proud look on his face.

Li Yuan thought, Zhao Chen and the others had nowhere to escape.

You must let yourself go first.

When the time comes, he and Wei Ting will make peace and kill all Zhao Chen and others.

Then he put all the responsibilities on the bandits in Tianzhu Mountain.

The emperor couldn't find this anyway.

"You talk too much!" Zhao Chen glanced at Li Yuan and said lightly.

"Hey, I talk a lot? This king..."

“You don’t understand Zhao Da telling you to shut up, do you?

"Before Li Yuan finished speaking, he was slapped to the ground by Cheng Chumo.

Li Yuan was lying on the ground, with the corners of his mouth cracked by a slap.

He looked at Zhao Chen with disbelief.

"Let him go into the water and calm down." Zhao Chen waved.

Qin Huaiyu came over and dragged the half-dead Li Yuan towards the river with one hand.

"Zhao Chen... you... I will not let you go... um... gulu gulu..."

"Zhao Da, just kill that guy." Cheng Chumo looked at Li Yuan who was being held down in the water by Qin Huaiyu, and said to Zhao Chen.

Li Yuan was obviously a burden to them.

Among the dozen or so people in the academy, several have no skills at all.

Once a conflict occurs, I and others are already at their wits' end, and now there is an extra Li Yuan.

The key point is that Li Yuan is not cooperative at all.

"There is a waterway in Yingzhou that leads directly to the Lujiang River. There is only one checkpoint on the waterway. Compared with the official road, it is easier for us to pass." Zhao Chen looked at the river in front and suddenly said this.

"There is only one waterway checkpoint, but if we are discovered, there will be no place to escape."

"Many of us are landlubbers and don't know how to swim at all." Cheng Chumo expressed his worries.

Waterways are certainly a good idea.

As long as you pass the checkpoint, it's just a smooth journey.

But once they are discovered at the checkpoint, they have nowhere to run.

At that time, I was really waiting to die on the boat.

"Although it is dangerous, it is also the only way." Zhao Chen said, with a calm expression on his face.

"Let Qin San pull the person up, don't hold him down to death."

"Find a boat and set off." Zhao Chen waved to Cheng Chumo again.

Cheng Chumo hesitated slightly, but he followed Zhao Chen's arrangement.

There was no other way now, and besides, they couldn't stay in the same place forever.

Otherwise, the people of Yingzhou who did not know the truth would easily report them.
