The reason why Tang Xiaohao chose to raise the issue of safe passage at the end was because he knew that the matter of safe passage was extremely important to Kang Yongzhi, so he had to do enough foreshadowing in front of him. The foreshadowing is nothing more than letting Kang Yongzhi know that if he doesn't tell the truth, he will die.

Therefore, Kang Yongzhi's serious appearance made Tang Xiaohao have to wonder, does the safe passage not exist? No, no, Kang Yongzhi has something to say.

Tang Xiaohao motioned for Kang Yongzhi to step forward, and then asked, "Tell me the detailed process."

Kang Yongzhi said in a low voice: "The convoy transporting goods will travel along the edge of the Wulian Mountain Range towards the Wailing River, although the edge of the mountain range is also covered with dense forests, it is much safer than in the Wulian Mountain, and there is absolutely no banditry, and the bandits around do not dare to approach the Wulian Mountain at all."

Tang Xiaohao nodded slightly: "And then?"

Kang Yongzhi said: "After the convoy enters the mountains and forests in the Wai Chuan area, it will stop and wait for the people in Gucheng to pick it up, and my people will hand over the goods to them, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and I don't need to take care of the rest."

Tang Xiaohao put his hand on Kang Yongzhi's shoulder: "Kang Taishou, are you fooling me? You mean, what you sold to the Yan clan was also handed over to the people of the Tuo Si Department of Gucheng? And then the people of the Torth Department will hand it over to the Yan clan?"

Kang Yongzhi nodded seriously: "That's right."

Kang Yongzhi did not flicker, the matter has come to this point, and he has no reason to lie.

Tang Xiaohao was shocked, if the matter was really as Kang Yongzhi said, then the generals of the Tuo Si Department guarding Gucheng had collusion with the Yan clan, otherwise, how could they transfer the goods to the feuding Yan clan?

Tang Xiaohao asked again, "You don't know the details?"

Kang Yongzhi replied: "This is the rule, I am only responsible for selling the goods, and I don't ask anything else."

Tang Xiaohao immediately flashed a possibility in his mind, there must be someone in the Tors Department who colluded with the Yan clan, and they had something to do with the Gu City Guard of the Tors Department, so it was necessary to find out who the Gu City Guard was first.

After Tang Xiaohao left in a hurry, Kang Yongzhi took a long breath and looked at the dark place under the hall.

At this time, Nan Rongzhongwei, who was disguised as Nan Rong Yuankai, walked out slowly.

Kang Yongzhi stepped forward and bowed his hand: "If it weren't for the second son's reminder in advance, I'm afraid I would have said everything that should have been said and what should not have been said."

Nan Rongyuan put his index finger to his mouth and motioned to Kang Yongzhi to whisper, because there were still iron guards outside the house.

Kang Yongzhi and Nan Rong Yuankai walked into the darkness and asked in a low voice: "Second son, you are right, Master Horse is not as brainless as rumored, after he knows about my dealings, he will definitely want to figure out what way and what kind of way will be used."

Nan Rongyuan said coldly: "That's natural, you must not underestimate my nephew, I just suffered a loss from underestimating him, this kid and his father are really capable of acting, and they have deceived us for more than ten years."

Kang Yongzhi said again: "What should I do after I get off the official?"

Nan Rongyuan said: "He said a few conditions earlier, you start to do it, you must do it seriously, this is not only for the people of Liangcheng, but also for King Xi and the horses. Of course, the colt will escort Princess Bomont back to Torth Ministry, so it will take the safe passage you mentioned."

Kang Yongzhi's eyes widened: "Huh? But I did what you taught......

Nan Rongyuan opened his eyes and looked at Kang Yongzhi, who immediately shut up and bowed his head.

Nan Rongyuan said: "You know about this matter, Wulian Mountain is already dangerous, if something really happens, it has nothing to do with you."

What else could Kang Yongzhi say besides maintaining that awkward and not rude smile? If something really happens, Kang Yongzhi is the culprit, and the Nanrong family will immediately select a new family to replace the Kang family's position in Tiangandao.

Therefore, after Nan Rong Yuankai and Kang Yongzhi left the lobby, Kang Yongzhi, who pretended to return to the side hospital, went around in a circle and immediately walked towards the place where Tang Xiaohao lived, but what Kang Yongzhi and Nan Rong Yuankai didn't expect was that there was still a person hiding on the beam of the lobby before, that is, Su Mu, who had just recovered from his injury.

The reason why Su Mu was there was not to protect Tang Xiaohao's safety,

Instead, Tang Xiaohao arranged for him to hide in the lobby at the beginning, and after he left, he would see if Nan Rong Yuankai would appear.

It's been ten days since the Liangcheng demon incident, and Nan Rongyuankai still hasn't left Liangcheng, doesn't this explain the problem?

As Tang Xiaohao expected, although Kang Yongzhi seemed to be true, what he said was taught by Nanrong Yuankai.

It's just that Kang Yongzhi has always been a businessman, and businessmen must know how to protect themselves while pursuing profits, not to mention human nature.

As soon as Tang Xiaohao, who returned to the room, finished making tea, Su Mu fell from the roof.

Tang Xiaohao glanced at Su Mu: "Can't you go through the gate?" It's okay to climb so ***, you're only good if you're injured, be careful of falling to your death."

Su Mu said lightly: "As you expected, at the same time that Kang Yongzhi walked into the lobby, Nanrong Yuankai also sneaked into the lobby from the shadows, and has been hiding in the shadows to listen to the conversation between the two of you."

Tang Xiaohao poured a cup of tea: "So, what Kang Yongzhi told me about the safe passage is all fake?"

Su Mu nodded: "That's right, it was Nan Rongyuan who taught him."

Tang Xiaohao handed the cup of tea to Su Mu: "But Kang Yongzhi is not a fool, right?"

"Yes," Su Mu drank the cup of tea, "So, Kang Taishou is on his way to you, so I'll come back before him to tell you."

As soon as Su Mu's words fell, the voice of the ironclad guard came from outside: "Liang Cheng Taishou Kang Yongzhi asks to see."

At the same time that Tang Xiaohao let Kang Yongzhi in, Su Mu immediately retreated into the shadows next to him.

When the door opened, Kang Yongzhi knelt directly in front of Tang Xiaohao, and did not go around in circles, but directly told the truth about the previous conversation with Nan Rongyuan, and then kowtowed again and again to confess his guilt and beg for mercy.

Tang Xiaohao looked at Kang Yongzhi lying on the ground, and then looked at Su Mu in the shadow next to him, as if to say: Look, this is no woman doing business.

After Tang Xiaohao listened, he personally helped Kang Yongzhi to get up: "Master Kang, it's serious, can you tell me the truth, what is the crime?"

Kang Yongzhi knelt down again: "The horse looks around, the mind is broad, and the lower officials are beyond the reach of the dust, from now on, the lower officials are the only ones who look forward to the horse master, and they have no second thoughts."

Oh, aren't you disgusting to say such things? Tang Xiaohao once again supported Kang Yongzhi: "Master Kang, I accepted a piece of your heart, but you should know that I will send Princess Baomeng back to Rouyuan safely, so how to go through the safe passage?"

Kang Yongzhi took out a scroll from his sleeve, and when the scroll was opened, it turned out to be a map, and the upper right corner of the map said "Wulian Mountain", which seemed to be a map of Wulian Mountain.

Kang Yongzhi actually had a map of the Wulian Mountain Range, which Tang Xiaohao did not expect.

Kang Yongzhi pointed to the map and said, "Please look at the horses, this map of Wulian Mountain is drawn by three generations of my ancestors who have hired dead soldiers to enter Wulian Mountain for exploration, although it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% detailed, but the road marked above is a safe passage."

Tang Xiaohao looked at the map, and then suddenly realized.

Kang Yongzhi on the side quietly looked at Tang Xiaohao, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, how could he bury the wealth and power accumulated by the Kang family's ancestors for the sake of the Nanrong family?

At the same time, in the Taishou Mansion, in the room where Nan Rong Yuankai lived, Nan Rongyuan Kai looked at the endgame with Tang Xiaohao that he had rearranged according to his memory on the chessboard on the table.

Nan Rongyuan opened his hand, looked at the endgame and smiled, "How can I say it? The false cover seems to be full of flaws, but it has a deep meaning. Do you really think I don't know what kind of person you Kang Yongzhi is?"

After that, Nan Rongyuan opened the son and fell: "The art of war strategy, in the final analysis, is to set up a situation to predict on the premise of knowing people...... Nephew, you're not the one who set up the game, but a fool who has not yet woken up when trapped in the game."

——

In order to confirm the authenticity of the map, Tang Xiaohao left the Taishou Mansion at night, although he knew that Su Mu was quietly following behind, but he also pretended not to know.

Su Mu did this, both for monitoring and protection, if Tang Xiaohao broke it, it would not only make Su Mu embarrassed, but also make the emperor more suspicious.

Although when Tang Xiaohao talked to Ji Chengying, he felt that the emperor was nothing to himself

Than trust, but what is behind this trust, he knows too well. Tang Xiaohao grew up in a deceitful environment since he was a child, and he knows that whether it is in life or in the court, it is difficult to trust, and it is almost impossible to trust thoroughly.

When Tang Xiaohao came to the inner courtyard of Taohuayuan, he found that there were two more fierce-looking men at the door, it seems that since the demon trouble, the attitude of the lone army towards the semi-open location of Liangcheng has also changed, at least the guards at the door have been arranged.

After Tang Xiaohao reported his name, the big man hurriedly entered the house. Not long after, Yueyan came out in person, and didn't say much, just asked Tang Xiaohao to go to the West Building with him.

Although Su Mu also sneaked into the inner courtyard, he did not dare to approach the West Building. Because he saw Wu Tianlu and Situ Changan sitting in it from the window. He knew very well that these two were masters, and if they were discovered, the other party would misunderstand the colt.

Tang Xiaohao walked into the West Building, and when he saw Wu Tianlu and Situ Changan, he was very surprised: "Big brother, why are you here? I've been looking for you for days, and not a single beggar in the city can be seen these days."

Wu Tianlu explained, "After the demon troubles are over, Tianyingtang's vitality is greatly damaged, and the brothers need to cultivate."

Tang Xiaohao looked suddenly enlightened: "So, the beggar gang actually doesn't need to come out to ask for food to live?"

Wu Tianlu and Situ Changan looked at each other and smiled when they heard this.

Tang Xiaohao took out the fire talisman gun from the Linglong machine box and handed it to Situ Changan: "This thing you gave me is broken, hurry up and fix it for me."

Situ Changan had just taken the fire talisman gun, and Tang Xiaohao said again: "Let's make it clear first, the warranty period has not expired, don't think about blackmailing me again, this time my eldest brother is in front of me, don't play tricks."

Wu Tianlu smiled on the side, "Brother, because of your generosity last time, our brothers in Tianying Hall have been doing very well recently, and even have prepared cotton clothes for winter."

"Oh-" Tang Xiaohao then understood, "No wonder you don't have to come out to beg for food, it seems that in the future, your Tianyingtang plans to tie me up and eat for the rest of your life, right?"

Wu Tianlu was just laughing, while Situ Changan was there to carefully inspect the fire talisman gun.

Tang Xiaohao looked at Yueyan on the side and asked, "Eh, why don't you see Miss Aqi?"

Yueyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Two days ago, my sister left."
