At the Qianyang County Inn in Huguang Province, Gao Ning, who followed Jiang Liwei to the north, just learned that Gao Ji was punished for falsely accusing Shangguan.

Gao Ning was very angry and immediately went to Jiang Liwei to ask why the other party did not keep his promise.

"...Mr. Jiang, you said you would help my Gao family to avenge me, and you would send letters to the two uncles to help me with the Gao family, but you didn't seem to have done it!"

Gao Ning asked Jiang Liwei sternly.

Jiang Liwei smiled and said, "Madam Gao, you seem to have forgotten one thing. From Guangxi to the capital, you can do it for a long and long river. How can you help with it across thousands of miles? The letter from me was indeed sent to the capital, but unfortunately, the court had already decided before the letter arrived..."

"No faith in words!"

Gao Ning gritted his teeth.

Jiang Liwei's expression suddenly became cold and said, "Madam Gao, it's useless to be angry now... Everyone knows that Chen Xi has made great contributions in the fight against the rebellion and the war against the Southern Barbarians. Who can move him except the two marquises in the court? You go down to the capital. As long as you can get favor from the marquis, it will be easy for you to avenge the Gao family or even kill Chen Xi..."

Gao Ning wanted to refute Jiang Liwei in person, but she finally gritted her teeth and asked, "After arriving in the capital, will you send me to the Marquis of Jianchang immediately and let me become the concubine of Marquis of Jianchang?"

Jiang Liwei didn't expect Gao Ning to say that he nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Okay, then let's get to the capital as soon as possible. Send someone to protect my master. If my master has something on the way to the capital, I will commit suicide!" Gao Ning threatened.

"Okay!" Jiang Liwei nodded.

Gao Ning received Jiang Liwei's approval and immediately turned back to the room.

Jiang Liwei looked at Gao Ning's back, and a sneer appeared on her face, then frowned, and secretly annoyed and murmured:

"I still can't ruin Chen Xi. His life is so strong! But this woman is the basis for me to gain the trust of Marquis Jianchang..."

Thinking about revenge in his heart, Jiang Li didn't sleep well even after waiting for dawn the next day, he was about to set off.

After the carriage was packed, Gao Ning did not come out of the room for a long time. Jiang Liwei went over to check the situation, but after knocking on the door for a long time, he didn't respond. He suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately knocked the door open, and there was no one inside.

"Sir, it seems that the person... ran away?" Jiang Liwei's subordinates were extremely surprised.

Jiang Liwei said annoyedly: "What are you waiting for? Send someone to chase him!"

Gao Ning escaped, and no one knew where she went, and even there was no way to investigate which direction she was heading. It was very difficult to chase her.

Even though Jiang Liwei was led by the Jinyiwei, and he asked himself that he had some skills in tracking, they stayed in Qianyang for two days and searched the north and south directions, but they could no longer find the whereabouts of Gao Ning's family, and finally had to give up.

"Mr. Jiang, the situation is not good. Where do you think this woman can go?"

The subordinates looked at Jiang Liwei with a hint of fear in their expression, because the Gao Ning family was smuggled from Nanning Prefecture. If someone knew that Gao Ning was not dead, it would not be a good thing for them, and Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, could not explain it.

Jiang Liwei said: "Where can she go? The ancestral home of the Gao family? Or her mother's home? There seems to be nothing else... Oh, by the way, don't she have children? When I go back, I kidnapped her child. I don't believe she won't submit!"

Jiang Liwei acted extreme. Gao Ning's disappearance disrupted his plan. He could not accept his failure for a while. He made up his mind to get the woman back at all costs.

At this time, someone suggested: "Sir, I think it is more important to go back to Beijing to report your life! Now the court has made a conclusion on the Gao family case. Even if you send someone back to the capital, you will at most get rewarded by the marquis... Even if there is no one to send it to me, the marquis will not make things difficult for me, right?"

"What do you know? Don't you know how important this matter is to me? Now that the surname Chen has been relieved of his crime, the key to my forgiveness will fall on the woman... If you are disobedient, don't follow me, see how you can get back to Beijing!"

In desperation, Jiang Liwei began to threaten the people under his command.

Even if they are both working in the Jinyiwei, it may not be necessary for everyone to deal with Chen Xi like Jiang Liwei, because for most people, it is not a wise move to offend a powerful man like Chen Xi.

The privileges of the Jinyiwei are effective for most middle and lower-level officials, but they are powerless to do anything to a second-rank official like Chen Xi.

However, as the special envoy of the Jinyiwei, Jiang Liwei dared not disobey his orders, and could only bite the bullet and continue to search for the whereabouts of Gao Ning's family in the place, but he had no way to find them.

...

...

Chen Xi had not learned about Jiang Liwei at this time. As for all the Gao Ning family's guess, he could not have predicted that Gao Ning family would disappear on the road.

It was already late April when Chen Xi led his men from Changsha Prefecture to the north and arrived at Baling, Yuezhou Prefecture City.

The road from Baling to Wuchang Prefecture is smooth, and there are local officials from Huguang along the way. The triumphant soldiers of the three armies enjoy the best hospitality.

The troops led by Chen Xi did not go their separate ways until they arrived at Wuchang Prefecture, so even the soldiers from Guizhou were traveling together.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, Chen Xi led his troops to Wuchang Prefecture.

When Chen Xi returned to his capital, he finally calmed down. The first thing he did after entering the city was to go back to his governor's office. It was not until this time that he learned that his family was still on the way north to Wuchang Mansion, and it had been more than a year since he and his family were separated.

After Chen Xi returned to Jiangxia, the city of Wuchang, from the three departments of Huguang, the prefectures, county government offices, to local garrison generals, gentry representatives, etc., all came to the door to "congratulate".

Chen Xi's battle established his supreme position in the south in one fell swoop. Everyone knows that Chen Xi, a governor, was not only in charge of the title of Left Censor and Minister of War, but the court has not deprived the officials of his six provinces of the six provinces of his office. This means that Chen Xi people are in Wuchang Prefecture, but they are in charge of the troops of the six southwest provinces, and officials in more than half of the southern provinces have to breathe.

Now, just supplying the food and supplies for Chenxi to work for military service has already filled the warehouses of Wuchang Prefecture. Since Chenxi wrote a memorial in advance when he was in Guangxi, he estimated that the imperial edict would arrive a few days after he led his troops to Wuchang Prefecture.

By that time, the official positions promoted by his troops in the six provinces may be deprived, but the title of Zuodu Censor and Minister of War may be retained one or two items.

However, whether it is retained or not, it is just a false title and has little impact.

...

...

On the night when Chen Xi returned to Wuchang Mansion, he took a hot shower comfortably under Hui Niang's service.

After returning to Wuchang Prefecture, Chen Xi contacted Hui Niang and Li Jin immediately, and then asked them to come to the Governor's Mansion to spend the night. Chen Xi knew that after almost his family in Ninghua County arrived in Wuchang Prefecture, Hui Niang and Li Jin would not be able to come to the Governor's Mansion again.

After another half a year of separation, Hui Niang and Li Jin returned to Wuchang Mansion, they bought a large mansion near the Huanghe Tower, and then directed the Chamber of Commerce to march into various provinces in Jiangnan. The two strong women were so busy that they were not touching the ground and their lives were extremely fulfilling, but when they arrived in front of Chenxi, they returned to their little woman's posture.

Chen Xi was about to rest when a "bang" knock came from the gate of the courtyard, which immediately ruined his great interest.

"What's up?"

Chen Xi walked to the room and came to the door of the yard. He did not open the door, but asked through the door.

Yun Liu's voice came from outside the door: "Sir, someone outside the Governor's Office asked for a visit!"

Chen Xi said unhappily: "All the people you should see today have seen each other. If someone comes, please wait until tomorrow... Don't you understand these rules?"

Yun Liu seemed very worried: "Sir, it's an important person. Please come out and give him a visit!"

Chen Xi did not want Yun Liu to know about Hui Niang and Li Jin's existence. He was still wary of Yun Liu. Chen Xi did not want to tell anyone around him about Hui Niang and Li Jin's identity. He knew that one more person could leak the news, which would make him not tolerate the court or the Shen family.

Yunliu said this to this point, and Chen Xi did not refuse. He knew that Yunliu would not be a rash person. This woman was very wise and had a proper position in everything she did.

Chen Xi went back to the room and told Hui Niang a few words, and then he finished his clothes. It was already early summer and he didn't wear much clothes. When he opened the yard door and went out, Yun Liu immediately came over to his ear and said, and Chen Xi's expression suddenly became cold.
