Xiang Ye did not show any mercy when dealing with the officials of Wuyuan, and the dereliction of duty Lu Zhihao was demoted to a soldier because of his meritorious report on Liu Shousan, and he will never be used. Liu Shousan was beheaded by the Man's 'Gate', and he was beheaded along with many officials from the Wuyuan County County Government who were involved in the case.

Due to Xiang Ye's purge policy, Wuyuan City became a nightmare for people who used to show off their martial arts in one day. The families who relied on Liu Shousan to obtain wealth and nobility were all attacked by ragged civilians, if it weren't for Xiang Ye's new legal system, murder and 'rape' were strictly prohibited.' Lewdness', restricting the common people who hit the rich, and these rich and noble families are afraid that they will suffer more disasters.

In the county town, where the condemned prisoners are disposed of, the freshly cut heads are strung with a long hemp rope and hung between two trees.

Although Liu Shousan's whole family was beheaded by the full 'door', Xiang Ye did not do too much. He left all the children under the age of thirteen, and these children will be sent to the institution in Jiuyuan City to raise orphans.

In just one day, Xiang Ye left a contradictory image in the hearts of the people of Wuyuan City.

Many people say that he is a tyrant, but his cruelty is only against those sinners who are usually hated by the people. Some people also say that he is a benevolent monarch, but he almost killed all the officials in Wuyuan County in one day, and many rich people who had participated in the oppression of the people were also linked, and the corpses of those who were killed by his order were piled up into a hill, and the blood almost gathered into a small river, and even the air in Wuyuan City was filled with a thick bloody atmosphere.

The thirst for killing did not make Xiang Ye lose the hearts of the people, but made his status in the hearts of the people of Wuyuan County reach an unprecedented height.

When Xiang Ye led Erhu and the others out of Wuyuan County, Xia Yuan took the people of the whole city to send them dozens of miles before reluctantly waving goodbye to them.

After staying in Wuyuan County for a day, Xia Hao's mood became very heavy. In the previous days, he had never felt that being a king would be so tiring.

The policies he formulated were beneficial to the people, but the people who did the specific things below distorted the policies beyond recognition, making the people miserable.

If he wants to sit on the throne safely, he naturally can't let this kind of thing go, he must set up a new ministry 'gate' after returning to Jiuyuan City, and specialize in 'gate' to go to various places to secretly investigate the actions of officials in specific affairs, so as to nip all unfavorable factors in the bud.

He needed an agency, an espionage agency similar to the Ming Dynasty Dongchang in later generations.

After two days of delay in Wuyuan, Di Yu should have gone further. Thinking of the somewhat hot-tempered Huns, Xiang Ye felt very uneasy.

Although the Xiongnu had a loyal following of Di Yao, it was Maudun who dominated the country after all. Once Mao Dun discovers Di Di's whereabouts and wants to rescue her, with Xiang Ye and these guards he brought, I am afraid it will be difficult to do.

He must find Maudun before she discovers Dita, and bring her back to Nine Plains City.

Chasing along the way, Xiang Ye has no clues about Di Yao, although Xia Guo is not very big, but it is indeed not too easy to find someone.

After coming out of Wuyuan, Xiang Ye turned around and walked towards the northeast with Erhu and the others.

Mao Dun fled back to the Xiongnu with the remnants of his troops at the foot of the 'Yin' Mountain, and laid a defensive line along the Xiongnu border to prevent the Xia army from taking advantage of the victory to pursue.

Xiang Ye dodged the scouts sent by the Xiongnu along the way, and walked straight in the direction of Guyang.

After Di Yu came out of Jiuyuan City, she kept marching north, but due north was the direction of the Xiongnu royal court, and before reaching the border, she must choose to go east or west.

To the west, it is to enter the territory of the Xiongnu through the river to find the Aries King, and to the east, it is to pass by the edge of Guyang and find the Fox Wolf King.

Between the Aries King and the Fox Wolf King, the Fox Wolf King is stronger. If there is a sudden attack behind the Huns, the trouble caused to the Huns will be even greater.

Xiang Ye thought of this, and Di Yu naturally thought of it too.

In order to prevent Di Ta from entering the Xiongnu, Maudun set up many sentry posts on the border and ordered that Di Ta be killed if he was discovered.

Xiang Ye's trip to Wuyuan had already been delayed for a few days, and with the opposite direction, the two of them had been missing for nearly ten days.

A few days later, Xiang Ye arrived near Guyang, and a guard went to inquire and reported to him that Li Xinpeng's army was still facing off against the army of the Xiongnu Zuogu Liwang, and although there were occasional skirmishes between the two sides, a decisive battle was never started.

When Li Xinpeng left Jiuyuan, Xiang Ye once said to him, "The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected", although he was a little dissatisfied with Li Xinpeng's failure to quickly start a decisive battle with the Xiongnu, but he still did not put pressure on the front line, but decided to bypass Guyang and enter the territory of the Xiongnu.

Entering the Xiongnu, there is a grassland in front of you.

The grassland is full of wild grasses, and as far as the eye can see, there is a green 'color', and the sky is boundless.

Xiang Ye and the guards changed into the costumes of the Hun cavalry they brought with them, and walked all the way to the northeast.

On the way, they also met a few small groups of Hun scouts, but those Hun scouts saw that they were also wearing the armor of the Hun cavalry, so they did not come forward to interrogate, but just greeted them from a distance and left.

After entering the hinterland of the Xiongnu, Xiang Ye and the others still need to pass through the sphere of influence of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King to reach the territory of the Fox Wolf King.

In order to prevent the fox wolf king from suddenly attacking, King Zuo Xian arranged heavy troops in the east, which also brought a lot of trouble to the passage of Xiang Ye and others.

Xiang Ye was only concerned about hurrying, but he didn't notice that after they left Wuyuan City, they were followed by a group of people.

It was a caravan with goods and horses. Everyone in the caravan was carrying weapons, and these people walked lightly, even if Xiang Ye and the others quickly threw them away, within a few hours, these people would reappear behind them.

At first, Xiang Ye didn't pay much attention to these people, he thought that these people were following closely behind him in order to avoid the interrogation of the Huns.

However, after entering King Zuoxian's territory, he found that the behavior of these people following him became more and more strange.

Since entering the territory of King Zuoxian, the speed of those people chasing Xiang Ye and the others has become faster and faster, and the distance between the two sides has become closer and closer. It wasn't until they approached the territory of the Fox Wolf King that the gang caught up with Xiang Ye and the others and walked side by side with them.

After the team caught up, Xiang Ye glanced at them twice and said to Erhu: "Tell everyone to be careful, the people over there are strange, it is likely to be unfavorable to us, don't let them take the lead." ”

"Do you want us to go and destroy them first?" Erhu glanced at the group of people who were not far away from them, and asked Xiang Ye in a low voice.

"No!" Xiang Ye didn't look at the team again, but whispered to the second tiger: "Just be vigilant, the front is the defense line laid by the Hun Zuoxian King, causing trouble here will bring us a lot of trouble, if you want to do something against them, at least wait until you enter the territory of the Fox Wolf King." ”

Erhu didn't speak, just nodded. He is used to obeying Xiang Ye, as for whether the fox wolf king knows Xiang Ye or not, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that in his mind, Xiang Ye is a god-like king who can do anything.

Before Xiang Ye reminded Erhu to be wary of the nearby team, some people in the guards who came out with him had already begun to be suspicious of the team.

They were all riding lightly, while the group was driving the wagons, and it stands to reason that they should have thrown them off a few days ago, but after several days of driving, not only did they not get rid of the group of people who hauled the goods, but they were getting closer and closer, and anyone with experience in the road would be suspicious of this.

The two groups continued to march eastward for more than thirty miles, and when the day was dark, they had already approached the border between the forces of the Fox Wolf King and the Zuo Xian King.

When the situation is tense, the army is often more vigilant at night than during the day. After dark, Xiang Ye chose to camp in place, and waited until dawn to pass through the defense line of King Zuo Xian and enter the realm of the Fox Wolf King.

Xiang Ye and the others stopped, and the team of people with the goods also stopped and set up camp not far from them.

This night, Xiang Ye and the others did not sleep peacefully, seeing that they were about to approach the territory of the Fox Wolf King, if the other party really wanted to be unfavorable to them, night was the best time to attack.

Xiang Ye and the others took precautions, but the other party did not show even the slightest hint of a sneak attack. Until the sky gradually brightened, the other party's tent was still quiet, and there was no unfavorable movement for Xiang Ye and them.

This made Xiang Ye feel very puzzled, since these people were following him all the way, and now they were about to reach the territory of the Fox Wolf King, as long as they walked more than ten miles and entered the territory of the Fox Wolf King, it would be much more difficult to do anything to them than here, could it be that these people were indeed merchants with goods, and they didn't think about what to do to Xiang Ye and them?

After dawn, Xiang Ye re-embarked on the road to the territory of the Fox Wolf King with a full of confusion. After they set out, the group that had been following them closely also put away their tents and followed them.

"Damn, it's really unpleasant to be followed all the time!" After walking three or four miles, Xiang Ye turned his head and glanced at the group of businessmen-looking people not far away, and said to Erhu: "You go over and ask, ask why they have been following us, what do they want to do?" ”

The second tiger answered, and Le turned his horse and ran towards the group.

The group of people who had been following Xiang Ye and the others saw the two tigers running towards them and hurriedly stopped.

"Hey! What do you do? The second tiger rode up to the group, pulled the reins and asked the leader, "Who are you?" Why do you keep following us? What exactly is the intention? ”~
