Song Shiyu and his wife had just left the Xie family's villa and did not notice a carriage coming around the corner.

"Master, we're here." Inside the carriage, Xie Zhan looked away thoughtfully and lowered the carriage curtain. He had been sending people to monitor his wife's situation, mainly because she had insisted on bringing the children to Fuling for a short stay, which was a bit strange.

Later, when her husband died, she only took her children back to attend the funeral. Later, she came to Fuling again to observe the mourning period. This was very abnormal.

He felt that there must be something about Fuling that she cared about. Considering that she had had a precognitive dream before, he had to think in this direction.

Later, she helped Song Shiyu and gave him a lot of help, which he knew. His people had checked Song Shiyu and could only say that the sixteen-year-old Song Shiyu was a rough diamond.

Give him a chance, and he will be no worse than these talented people. But he knew very well that his wife did not have the ability to judge people... This once again confirmed his guess, and it seemed that her precognitive dream was at work again.

After sorting out all this, Xie Zhan stopped turning his thumb. When Xie Zhan got off the carriage, he could no longer see anything.

After he stood still, he said calmly,

"Go ahead and knock on the door." A quarter of an hour later, the manager of the other courtyard came to invite Zhao Yutan.

"Madam, the head of the family is here." Head of the family? Zhao Yutan's face turned pale. Is it Xie Wei or Xie Zhan?

"The master of the family is waiting for his wife in the main hall now." Zhao Yutan stood up, paused, and finally lifted her skirt and walked quickly to the main hall.

After the steward of the villa led Mrs. Zhao Yutan to the hall, he left and closed the door before leaving.

There were only two people left in the hall. Zhao Yutan stared at the masked man in front of him.

Xie Zhan slowly took off his mask.

"It's me." Zhao Yutan covered his mouth, tears falling from the corners of his eyes. An hour later, Zhao Yutan fell asleep with the help of his maid, tears in the corners of his eyes.

Xie Zhan was extremely clear-headed. Zheyingchong? So that's why she insisted on bringing her son to Fuling.

After figuring it out, Xie Zhan stood up, put on a robe, walked out of the room, and gave instructions outside the door.

"Send someone to watch Song Shiyu and don't let him leave Fuling." He didn't want any complications to happen.

On the other side, when Song Shiyu left the Xie family villa, he felt like a thorn in his back. He resisted the urge to look back and left with his wife.

When he got home, the strange feeling disappeared and he relaxed. His wife was about to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner, but he stopped her.

His wife looked at him in confusion.

"Pack your bags, we're leaving Fuling for a while."

"Where to go?"

"Qingzhou! Let's go to Qingzhou!" Song Shiyu said this decisively. When Xie Zhan's people arrived at the Song family, the Song family was already deserted.

After Xie Zhan learned about it, he could only regret that he gave the order too late, and at the same time sighed that there are still many smart people in this world.

Pingzhou, Changli Lv Songli asked Xian Feng,

"Xie Zhan left Nandi?" After knowing that Xie Zhan had faked his death and went to Nandi, the people in Nandi never stopped monitoring Xie Zhan.

Chen Jinshui was a friend Qin Sheng made in the market before they were exiled. Later, Chen Jinshui was unable to follow Qin Sheng to Pingzhou because his child was sick, and this time he fell behind.

Then he was injured when Qin Sheng attacked the Yalishan stronghold and had to rest for a while, so he was unable to achieve anything.

He once again distanced himself from his peers, and later he had to find another way out and volunteered to help the governor expand his territory.

He then changed his identity several times, and later went to the South, where he lay low and slowly started his business there.

This time the news was brought back by Chen Jinshui. Xian Feng replied,

"Yes. There was news from the South that Xie Zhan quietly left the South a few days ago."

"Has Xie Wei's wife and children not been rescued yet?" Lu Songli asked again. Xian Feng shook his head.

"Someone has been closely monitoring Xie Wei's wife and children." Lu Songli did not say anything. She knew very well that this must be Xie Zhan's order.

She knew he faked his death, and he also knew she knew he faked his death. He should have guessed that she and Xie Wei had cooperated and traded, so he didn't give her a chance to rescue Xie Wei's wife and children.

Lu Songli did not continue talking about this topic, but brought up another topic.

"I'm afraid Song Mo won't live long." If things can't be done, then let it go. After all, Xie Wei's wife and children are also Xie Zhan's relatives. If there is no huge conflict of interest, their safety is safe.

Hmm? Lu Songli's topic jumped too fast, and Xian Feng couldn't catch up. Instead, Xue Xu at the side caught up.

"The governor is talking about Emperor Dali?"

"Yeah." Lu Songli was sure that Xie Zhan would take the throne. But he wanted to take the throne as the savior of Dali, which was not possible.

She had prepared a generous gift for him. She had prepared the basin of dirty water for a long time. Xian Feng: "There is no difference between Song Mo being alive and dead now." Lu Songli smiled but said nothing. There is still a difference between real death and fake death.

Song Mo's current situation has decentralized some of his power, but he, as the emperor, still holds the core power.

Only when he really dies will power be transferred to another person. Lu Songli said,

"We should stop selling the white linen and other funeral supplies. If possible, we should store some and ship them to Dali." Xue Xu understood immediately.

"Governor, do you want to hoard goods and make a fortune?" Xian Feng was speechless. Governor, you don't even plan to let go of such wealth?

Lu Songli was surprised and said jokingly,

"Why should we let it go? Why not make money if there is money to be made? Even a small mosquito leg is still meat. Pingzhou Prefecture owes a lot of money now." And she was cheating Xie Zhan of his money.

So what if the cost of funeral has increased? Can Xie Zhan, the successor to power, not arrange it for Song Mo?

After all, Song Mo had entrusted him with great authority. Xue Xu and Xian Feng, uncle and nephew, looked at each other and mourned for Song Mo, the king of Dali. Even his death became an opportunity for the governor to make a fortune. This was unparalleled.

...Xie Zhan began to take action and make plans, and they in Pingzhou had already taken action. Lu Songli had confirmed that all the food and grass were in place.

All military movements in Pingzhou were like undercurrents. Qin Heng, Qin Yan, and Qin Zhao all returned to their respective military regions early to mobilize troops and prepare for the expedition.

Qin Sheng has been in the Sanzhou Free Trade Zone. Others, such as Le Guicai, Yue Shu, and General Sun Ming, have also been staying in their respective military regions, ready to go.

Lu Songli and generals from various military regions have revealed that Pingzhou is preparing to attack the Xianbei, so everyone is ready to go.

Guo Chong was the military advisor and Dong Jichuan was the lieutenant general. When they inspected the military area together, they found that the army was well-disciplined and the soldiers were in high spirits. He nodded secretly, knowing that the army's morale was good.

Wei Kuang was also in the army. When he saw this scene, he had the same idea as Guo Chong. The army's morale was high. He really thought that Governor Lu Songli was amazing.

First of all, Pingzhou had to support so many soldiers and horses, and the expenses were definitely not small. At least even the Dali, which had been passed down for generations, could not afford such military expenses, but Lu Songli managed to do so.

In addition, Pingzhou had just ended a great war two years ago and achieved great results, but all the supplies were consumed.

It was impossible to recover in just over a year, but Lu Songli was very good at raising money and food. Soon he raised a large amount of money and food and could go to war again.

He couldn't help but sigh that Governor Lu Songli had such great personal charm that the people were willing to follow her and the wealthy merchants were also willing to trust her.

This is a superior whom even an ordinary person dares to trust. Can you believe that there is such a person?
