When the boat reached the opposite bank, the tide of the river disembarked and looked back at the opposite hill.

Although he could only see a vague shadow, he still saw Dong Liyue standing there. She stood like this for a long, long time.

Waving his hand at Dong Liyue's figure, Jiang Chao stood for a while, and finally, turned around and walked towards the dense forest behind.

The way back was the same as the way I came, but with the presence of the Yelang Clan, it was much easier and faster.

At dusk, they came out of the dense forest and came to the official road leading to the county seat of Anning. Catch up at this rate. It will take about an hour to get back to the county seat.

But Jiang Chao was not ready to return to the county seat. He called Song Xiaoya over.

"Xiaoya, you go back to the city quietly now, tell Ning Xue, ask her to come over to meet me, and bring the horses over."

When Song Xiaoya heard this, there was a look of astonishment in her eyes, and she couldn't understand why Jiang Chao didn't go back to the county seat directly. Now that the official business has been completed. What else is there to worry about?!

"Childe, you ......" Although Song Xiaoya is still a little angry with Jiang Chao, seeing that Jiang Chao is serious, she also knows that things may change.

"I can't tell you clearly for the time being, you just have to do what I say, and we'll wait for you here." Jiang Chao shook his head at Song Xiaoya.

Hearing this, Song Xiaoya nodded, and didn't ask again, she answered, turned around and prepared to sweep in the direction of the county seat.

"Wait! Xiaoshan and Xiaokong went over with Xiaoya, and there was a good response on the way! Jiang Chao stopped Song Xiaoya and sent Dongli Mountain and Nan Mingkong.

She was afraid that Song Xiaoya would have something on the road.

When Song Xiaoya heard this, her eyes showed a sense of surprise. It's all in Anning County. Why be so careful?!

But she knew that Jiang Chao would not do this for no reason, and there must be his reasons. She nodded, and followed Dongli Mountain and Nan Mingkong to the county seat.

The rest retreated into the dense forest. Everyone hid behind the dense forest, and if anyone came, they could see through the grass in the dense forest.

Although everyone didn't know why Jiang Chao was so careful, based on their trust in Jiang Chao, everyone didn't ask anything.

Jiang Chaozhi did not return to Anning County now because of the matter of the two family members under the Duke of Zhenguo.

and Dong Liyue's father, who was beheaded by the court for the crime of communicating with foreign clans. It made him think of a possibility.

Dong Liyue's father was going to go back to talk about naturalization, and according to Dong Liyue, her mother had already agreed to naturalization. It is even ready to convince the other two races.

She was also sure to persuade the two clans at that time, but in the end, Dong Liyue's father was still beheaded on the charge of connecting with foreign tribes.

There is a situation where there are people who do not want to be naturalized.

Even the officials sent to the Yelang clan died one after another over the years. In the end, he simply did not send officials over, which was full of strangeness.

Although Jiang Chao had interrogated Xi Fengming, Xi Fengming didn't open his mouth when he bit it, and Jiang Chao didn't have the energy to specifically greet Xi Fengming at that time.

But there were some things, he had already guessed, that it was the Xifeng clan that killed those who went to the Yelang clan officials.

And Xi Fengming colluded with Zheng An, the prince of Zhenguo, and with the combination of the two, many things slowly became clear.

The person who doesn't want the Yelang clan to be naturalized must be Zhenguo Gong, and his purpose is to make the Yelang clan go against the court, preferably rebel.

But for the sake of his own plan, the rebellion of the Yelang clan must also cater to his time, so he colluded with Xifengming.

This time, Jiang Chao entered the Yelang clan, and he sent two family members to contact Xifengming and prepare to rebel together at the time of the autumn harvest.

Now, Jiang Chao has returned from the Yelang clan safely, but Lu Ren and the two family members have died in the Yelang clan, and Zheng An will definitely not give up.

If Jiang Chao blindly returns to Anning County like this, he will definitely be targeted by the people of Zhenguogong, and at that time, if Zhenguogong takes the lead and controls him.

Then, his ending may be the same as Dong Liyue's father, who was accused of communicating with foreigners by the Zhenguo Public Security and finally beheaded!

Speaking of which, this time he asked him to go to the Yelang clan, and the county commander Wang Dangdang did Zhenguo Gong a big favor by mistake.

Or, since Zheng An asked Jiang Chao to come to Anning County as a county lieutenant, he has already settled the heart of letting Jiang Chao go to the Yelang clan.

Otherwise, why did Jiang Chao be assigned the official position of county lieutenant, and Anning County was chosen!? Let the county order Wang Dang assassinate Jiang Chao again?!

From the very beginning, Zhen Guogong gave Jiang Chao a dead end. No matter what Jiang Chao is, the final outcome is death.

If Jiang Chao hadn't figured out what was going on and returned to the county with the naturalization papers. I'm afraid I'll be in prison now.

Therefore, Jiang Chao can't go back to the county seat now, and he has to find a way to save himself. Save yourself in this dead knot.

Dong Liyue should also be aware of this, so he sent so many Yelang clan masters to him.

Time passed little by little, and the sky slowly darkened, and although there was moonlight, it was no longer very real to see under the mountain.

About half an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded. There seemed to be a few people coming down the mountain. There were also many horses.

Through the torch held by the horse at the head, Jiang Chao saw Song Ningxue with an anxious face. She looked around, tears welling up in her eyes without seeing Jiang Chao.

"Brother Jiang! Where are you......" Song Ningxue opened her mouth and shouted.

Jiang Chao looked at her appearance, his heart warmed slightly, and he hurriedly beckoned everyone out of the mountains and forests to greet her.

"Ning Xue, I'm here ......" With his voice, Song Ningxue jumped off her horse, handed the torch to Song Xiaoya, and she galloped towards Jiang Chao.

Regardless of the people around her, she threw herself into Jiang Chao's arms and wrapped her hands tightly around Jiang Chao's waist. The voice sobbed:

"Brother Jiang, you are finally back, these days, I am worried every day, and I am always afraid that something will happen to you. If Xiaoya hadn't come back, I would have gone to the Yelang Clan to find you. ”

She told the worry in her heart, and her body shook slightly with sobbing.

Several people from the Yelang clan showed a strange look in their eyes, and hurriedly turned their heads to the side. It's not easy for them to express any opinion on this kind of love.

It's just that they couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Jiang Chao, especially Dongli Mountain and Nanmingkong.

When the two saw Song Ningxue, they were amazed by her peerless appearance. I saw Song Ningxue's expression that she couldn't wait to come after hearing Jiang Chao's news.

They knew that he was another person who was deeply immersed in the charm of the river tide and couldn't extricate himself. They admired Jiang Chao so much.

"It's okay, aren't I coming back!" Jiang Chao patted Song Ningxue's back with some embarrassment. comforted Song Ningxue softly.
