There is no doubt that Cao Xingzhi's team is the largest of all the teams, not only in terms of the property they carry, but also in terms of the strength of this team, even if they encounter robbers, they don't have to worry about it at all.

Most people choose to avoid it, and to be precise, not many people leave Dingtai Town.

Because many townspeople who could not afford to escape chose to stay in Dingtai Town.

On their own, they simply could not compete with the freezing cold.

In addition to fighting the cold, you may also have to face foraging beasts or robbers blocking your way.

None of these are things they can compete with.

What's more, after arriving at the destination, you have to worry about how to survive the winter.

All of this added up to cut off their thoughts of escape.

The sparse crowd headed for the distance, their destination not the same, but for now, they were still on the same path.

Although the relationship between them is not harmonious, at this critical moment, multiple people always take care of each other.

On the way, Qian Cang paid attention to Zhao Quanshun from time to time, and under his intentional arrangement, the Zhang family's team has always kept a certain distance from Cao Xingzhi's team, not close or far.

At noon, Cao Xingzhi's team did not stop and continued to move forward.

Seeing this, the Zhang family's team also continued to move forward.

As for lunch, it was settled with dry food.

By the evening, the team that came out of Dingtai Town had been divided into several parts, and the team that walked in the front was Cao Xingzhi's team, and the Zhang family's team followed closely behind.

The rest of the team, some in different directions, had already left from another fork in the road, some could not bear the severe cold, and even chose to return to Dingtai Town halfway, while the rest fell behind, still hovering between advancing and returning.

"Lord Cao, didn't you order the lockdown of the city before? Why don't you care about those people today? Zhao Quanshun poured a cup of hot water for Cao Xingzhi.

"Master Zhao is really open-minded, he was still broken two days ago, but today he has become smiling." Cao Xingzhi took the cup handed over by Zhao Quanshun and laughed by the way.

"The adults laughed......" Zhao Quanshun laughed embarrassedly.

"There is no need to lock down the city anymore. I got the news this morning. Cao Xingzhi took a sip of warm tea, and then looked up at Zhao Quanshun, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Master Zhao, do you want to know who gave the order?"

Cao Xingzhi saw that Zhao Quanshun was still bowing his head, so he asked.

It's not so much an inquiry as a temptation.

Zhao Quanshun's eyes rolled, and he had some conjectures in his heart.

"Your Excellency, this ...... If you are willing to say, Zhao will listen......"

"The official asked if you wanted to know!"

Cao Xingzhi interrupted Zhao Quanshun's words, and a faint anger appeared on his face.

"Yes!"

Figuring out Shangguan's mind is what Zhao Quanshun has to do every day, and he doesn't dare to change the topic at this time, although it may be a little inappropriate to expose his thoughts, but everything depends on how much Cao Xingzhi knows.

As the prefect of Dingtai Town, whether Cao Xingzhi knew that he had a connection with a mysterious person, whether he knew that his mood and goal had changed, Zhao Quanshun was not completely sure of this.

He had no choice but to act on the opportunistic.

"Then the official will tell you to come." Cao Xingzhi beckoned.

Zhao Quanshun was stunned for a moment, he glanced left and right, and although the rest of the entourage focused their attention on this side, none of them dared to look at Cao Xingzhi blatantly.

Forget it, life or death is left to the will of God!

Zhao Quanshun thought to himself, gritted his teeth, and leaned in.

"It's ...... who gave the order," Cao Xingzhi paused slightly, "He Chang, Governor He." ”

It's him?

Zhao Quanshun was shocked.

Governor He is a second-rank member and can be said to be an important minister of the imperial court.

If he was the one who ordered the closure of the city, then it is very likely that this idea was also an order of the imperial court, or an order of one of the many factions of the imperial court.

The people do not fight with the officials.

This is a truth that is known to the whole world.

Although Zhao Quanshun also entered the door, his master's identity was not much more noble than that of Dousheng Xiaomin.

"If there is a way, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone."

"This official knows that he is incompetent, and he can only choose to protect himself. What is the truth of the strange incident that happened in Dingtai Town, and what the purpose of Governor He is, this official does not know, and does not want to know. ”

"Master Zhao, you have followed this official for many years, and this official also advises you, put away your curiosity, the days to come will be long, if you continue to follow this official, this official will not treat you badly."

Cao Xingzhi took another sip after speaking.

Hearing this, Zhao Quanshun knew that Cao Xingzhi was buying himself.

He was well aware of the character of the prefect in front of him.

Cao Xingzhi used this matter to buy me, probably because he didn't want to break the bank, so he used this news that no longer has much value to do the bribery.

Not only that, but after I knew that it was He Chang who gave the order to close the city, I would not continue to investigate, because it was a big official I couldn't afford to provoke, and if I was not careful, I would never recover.

Thinking of this, Zhao Quanshun felt that his heart was a little cold.

Obviously, this alone can see that Cao Xingzhi's strength is like this, and a piece of news that is no longer of much value can be used by him to this extent, and there must be something outstanding about him.

Unfortunately, this merit is not for the well-being of the people.

"What the prefect said is, thank you for the prefect."

Zhao Quanshun said with a smile.

The large army that came out of Dingtai Town still continued to advance, because the team was large and well prepared, so Cao Xingzhi's team was always far ahead, and the rest of the big merchants could only barely follow behind.

During this time, the snow on the ground has been piled up in a thick layer, and every step is very difficult.

The sky is gradually starting to darken, and it won't be long before the sun sets.

"I remember there was a village here, why didn't I see it when the sun was about to set?"

Wang Dart looked into the distance, his brows furrowed.

"Maybe it's because the snow is too big......"

Zhang Wenshi wanted to say something to comfort Wang Darttou, but he stopped in the middle of his words.

The situation near Dingtai Town, Wang Darttou knew much better than him.

Hearing Wang Darttou's words, Qian Cangyi looked into the distance, and could not see anything except a piece of snow white.

In this situation, if there is no shelter on the road where you can rest, you can only sleep in the wild for a night.

Normally, it's okay, but now with such a big snowstorm, if you sleep in the wild, no one dares to guarantee anything.

At this moment, Cao Xingzhi's team in front suddenly increased the speed of their march and seemed to have discovered something.

But Qian Cangyi also noticed that ahead, for some reason, there was more white fog.

He stopped, but the white mist was still getting closer and closer, and he quickly 'swallowed' the Zhang family's team.

Soon, the white fog dissipated, and a bustling street appeared ahead, brightly lit and crowded with pedestrians, except for the snow-covered roof, which looked like the center of the city.

Over here...... It's not normal!

Qian Cangyi said in his heart.

Not far away, Cao Xingzhi's team was resting, and it seemed that nothing was wrong at all.
