Wei Tianqing led his soldiers to go out of the city. At this time, at dusk, there were many pedestrians on the street and dodged them. Wei Tianqing was in a very low mood. He was determined to win a big victory this time, but the final result was like this. He dispatched two thousand elite soldiers and marched for a few days to encircle a small mountain. Not only did he fail, he lost more than fifty elite soldiers, which made him still have a fire in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent.

Chu Huan rode a horse and followed Wei Tianqing, saw Wei Tianqing's mood, and asked softly: "Sir, do you have any worries?"

Wei Tianqing was interrupted by Chu Huan's voice and shook his head and sighed: "Brother Chu, I'm going to tell you that since I led the army, Wei Tianqing, has never encountered such a cowardly thing... The Governor had great expectations for our troops this time, but who knows...!" He sighed and shook his head, looking very depressed.

Chu Huan thought for a while and suddenly said, "I am the host. I want to invite Brother Wei to have a drink, but I don't know if Brother Wei is willing?"

Wei Tianqing turned his head and looked at Chu Huan: "Drink?"

Chu Huan pointed to a tavern on the street and smiled and said, "I can't afford to hire a big restaurant. There is a tavern here. Brother Wei is willing to surrender?"

Wei Tianqing hesitated for a moment, called a tooth general, and asked him to take him out of the city and back to the camp. He and Chu Huan went to the tavern, turned over and dismounted, and handed the horses to the guy who came to the receptionist to feed the horses. He and Chu Huan entered the tavern together.

The tavern was not big, and there were not many guests inside. When the general came in, the shopkeeper inside was panicked and freed up the only quiet place in the tavern. It was a small room, covered with a curtain. Chu Huan and the others came in and sat down, and the shopkeeper personally delivered the wine and food.

Chu Huan poured wine for Wei Tianqing and also for himself. Wei Tianqing picked up the wine glass, drank it in one sip, and then shook his head and said, "I really can't figure out how this would be the result!"

Chu Huan poured Wei Tianqing again, and then said softly: "Brother Wei, this time we encircled Heishuishan, but we did not find anything!"

"Are you talking about those weapons?" Wei Tianqing smiled bitterly and said, "What can those weapons be gained? We have died dozens of brothers, and they are all elite and fierce men who have been trained in summer and winter for three summers and winters... The most annoying thing is that it would be fine if they died of fighting, but they died in those traps, and they were in miserable death...!" His face was full of anger and he clenched his fists: "I must avenge this hatred. I will eventually dig out those bandits one by one and kill them all!"

Chu Huan said seriously: "Brother Wei, you can't say that. We seem to have lost this time, but we have gained a lot."

Wei Tianqingqi said, "How do you say this?"

"Brother Wei also knows the situation of Heishui Mountain." Chu Huan said calmly: "Now it seems that there is a hidden hidden spot, which is the place where the rioters use to collect weapons and equipment." After a pause, he said seriously: "Heishui Mountain is poor and has few people to come, so it is not noticeable at all. There are many mechanisms on the mountain. Such a place is indeed an excellent place to hide weapons and equipment. If it weren't for the attack this time, I'm afraid no one would know that such a large number of weapons and equipment were hidden in this Heishui Mountain."

Wei Tianqing nodded and said, "Brother Chu, I'm going to tell you, I'm sweating all over my body when I found those weapons in the underground secret room... A illusory intention, a huge illusory intention. This is something found in the realm of Xishandao. If these weapons and equipment are really used to rebel... The Governor will definitely not escape the responsibility of being in prison." Looking at Chu Huan, he said solemnly: "Brother Chu, you may not understand. Although the Governor is of high power, he acts extremely cautiously. I don't know how many people are staring at the position of the Governor of Xishandao. However, the Governor has made mistakes, and the consequences are also unimaginable."

Chu Huan nodded and said, "I understand. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise I would let these weapons accumulate, and there would be endless disasters. They used Hei Shui Mountain as a stronghold and must have made careful choices. Regardless of whether the underground secret passages on the mountain were dug and built by themselves, the people behind this must be extraordinary."

Wei Tianqing picked up the wine glass, drank half a cup, frowned and said, "In recent years, the Governor has not neglected the supervision of the states of Xishan Road... Tongzhou is indeed the place where the public complaints are the most. There are often turmoils, but everything is still under control. I have never heard of such a powerful rioter. Brother Chu, you know that when we are in this group of people, their skills are really not weak, they are stern, and they are definitely not ordinary mobs. But I really can't remember which group of rioters in Tongzhou have such strength?"

Chu Huan said: "Brother Wei will naturally not remember it, otherwise if Brother Wei knew that this group of people existed, they would not have survived to this day."

Wei Tianqing nodded.

"This time, the destruction of Heishui Mountain seemed to have made them escape, but in fact it destroyed their foundation." Chu Huan said seriously: "A place like Heishui Mountain that is uniquely hiding equipment cannot be easily found. Although they have transferred a large number of weapons now, it is not easy to find a safe place to hide!"

Wei Tianqing seemed to understand something, and spread his eyebrows and nodded, "Yes. We plan to send troops, but it was only a few days ago. Even if they get the news and transfer weapons at the first time, they will definitely be in a hurry. The number of supplies is huge, and they cannot have a way to avoid any trace. As long as Zhao Guangqing sends his subordinates to search everywhere, some clues will be found. When we return to Yunshan Mansion, I will immediately ask the Governor to ask the Divine Yiwei again. When the Divine Yiwei comes, even if those bandits have the ability to reach the sky, they will not be able to escape the Divine Yiwei!"

Chu Huan picked up the wine glass and drank it with Wei Tianqing before frowned and said, "Brother Wei, I actually have something that I can't figure out!"

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know much about Zhao Zhizhou. I wonder how much Brother Wei knows about him?" Chu Huan stared at Wei Tianqing and lowered his voice: "I'll ask you, I'll ask, "Does this Zhao Zhizhou... have the ability to manage?"

Wei Tianqing was stunned, pondered slightly, and then lowered his voice: "If you want to talk about the talent of governance, Zhao Guangqing is still a little capable. Zhao Guangqing's father once followed the emperor to fight south and north. He was a civil servant. He was responsible for the record of food and fodder. After the emperor ruled the world, his father entered the Ministry of Revenue and became a chief official. Therefore, Zhao Guangqing was also exiled to become a small official. This man was very talented at the time and could have some political achievements every time he was a vassal. Because of this, this official was promoted quickly. Eleven years ago, he became the governor of Tongzhou...!"

"Eleventh year ago?" Chu Huan was slightly surprised: "Brother Wei, are you saying that Zhao Guangqing has been in Tongzhou for eleven years but has not been transferred to the office?"

Wei Tianqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Chu, many people know this, and it has become a strange story in the officialdom. Tongzhou is a poor state, and it is also a state where turbulence is frequent. Everyone in the officialdom knows that the seats of Tongzhou magistrates are full of thorns. Whoever sits on it is all thorns. Everyone wants to be the sixteen roads and sixty-six states. Everyone wants to be the magistrates, but among them, there are three states and magistrates who are afraid to avoid them, and Tongzhou magistrates is one of them!"

"Why is this?" Chu Huanqi said.

Wei Tianqing explained: "We have said just now that Tongzhou's natural conditions are very harsh, and it is mostly forest land, with not much arable land, and there will be natural disasters every two years. Either the Heishui River floods, breaks the dike and flood, or it will be drought and dry, with poor harvests, and there are no minerals on the ground of Tongzhou, so it is very poor. Since the founding of the country, there will be chaos in the people every year. In the six states of Xishan Road, the people in Tongzhou are the most unruly and difficult to domesticate...!"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Brother Wei, I'll say frankly that the people in the world are actually not unlucky people, and there are few people who are difficult to domesticate. The people don't ask for much, and they will be satisfied if they can eat and sleep warmly. It's even better if they don't have enough food or clothes or not, but their parents, wives and children also suffer such pain. What do you think they should do?"

Wei Tianqing frowned, pondered for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Chu, one word woke up the dreamer." He sighed, "I, Wei Tianqing, are also from a poor man. After being in the officialdom for a long time, my speech has changed without realizing it..."

Chu Huan hurriedly said, "Brother Wei must not say that. I can understand your thoughts. You hope that the world will be peaceful, without turmoil, and without fighting, so that the people can live and work in peace!"

Wei Tianqing immediately said, "Those who know me are brothers Chu."

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Brother Wei, let's continue to talk about Zhao Zhizhou, why is he willing to stay here until now?"

"I'm willing?" Wei Tianqing immediately shook his head and said, "How could he be willing? He even resigned voluntarily in order to leave here, but the court did not allow it. Later, he deliberately did the job and then apologized for the crime, hoping that the court would be demoted, but the court still was not allowed. The court was determined to hold him in Tongzhou. The reason was that when Zhao Guangqing first arrived in Tongzhou, he was preparing to do something big and achieve some political achievements. Before him, several magistrates could not control him.

He lived in Tongzhou, and the taxes paid were 30% or 40% per year. For this reason, two were cut and three were locked up. After Zhao Guangqing took office, not only did the people have fewer people, but the taxes could be paid 60% or 70% per year. That's why the court felt that the position of the governor of Tongzhou was the one who was not demoted or promoted. According to death, Zhao Guangqing wanted to make political achievements and be promoted, but who knew that he was backfiring... He was so impatient for more than ten years and had not been able to survive."

Chu Huan was surprised, but frowned instantly and asked softly: "In this way, this Zhao Zhizhou does have the talent for governance, and he also manages Tongzhou in an orderly manner?"

Wei Tianqing nodded and said, "At least it was like this before." Qi said, "Brother Chu, why are you so interested in him?"

Chu Huan smiled faintly and said, "I'm just curious. How could such a shrewd person know nothing about the situation of Heishuishan?" He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

Wei Tianqing frowned and said, "Brother Chu, there are only you and me here. You have something to say but it doesn't matter!"

Chu Huan thought about it and said, "Brother Wei and I have seen a large number of weapons in Heishuishan. They are never used before... I think that Heishuishan is indeed a place to hide weapons, but it is not a place to build weapons. To build steel knives, make arrows, and make strong crossbows, this is not a simple matter. It requires a large number of craftsmen and blacksmiths, and a large amount of materials. To build steel knives, steelmaking, and the iron arrows of arrows require a large amount of iron ore, and the strong crossbow,

It is not something that ordinary people can make. There have always been only a small number of equipment in the army, and the cost is extremely expensive... After these weapons were built, they were transported to Heishui Mountain. Didn't anyone check the checkpoints along the way? How could tens of thousands of weapons containing evil intentions be built so easily and transported to Heishui Mountain so easily to hide?" Speaking of this, Chu Huan's brows locked up and stared at Wei Tianqing: "Brother Wei, do you think that those bandits in Heishui Mountain really have such heavenly power?"
