"Um."

The witch nodded slightly and accepted the matter.

Wu Liang didn't say anything more. He turned back to look at Bing Li, Jin Yu, Jin Wei and others, and said seriously: "I would like to ask you to make some arrangements. I hope to go to the island as soon as possible to personally inspect Tian Heng's mansion."

"Wu Taishi..."

Bing Li said with some worry, "You just heard that there are still many suspenseful things about Tian Heng's mansion. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for you to go and investigate in person, right?"

"This matter of ghosts and gods is beyond the reach of mortals like us. Please Wu Taishi think twice."

Jin Yu also gave good advice.

If these two guys were worried about Wu Liang's safety, Wu Liang would definitely not believe it. They were strangers and had no friendship, so no one would take the other one too seriously.

They must care more about themselves.

Wu Liang had just made a cake for Bing Li, and Bing Li also pointed out that Wu Liang would be promoted and make a fortune. Of course, he did not want anything to happen to him. Moreover, if something happened to Wu Liang in Qu County, he, the county magistrate, would also be to blame.

What Jin Yu cares about should be the children captured by Wu Liang. If something happens to Wu Liang on the island, no matter how he explains it, the soldiers guarding the children may not send those children back.

.

"I have made up my mind, there is no need for you two to persuade me."

Wu Liang insisted, "Please rest assured, whatever happens to me has nothing to do with you. My previous commitments still stand and I will never break them."

"this……"

Bing Li and Jin Yu looked at each other and finally agreed helplessly, "In that case, let's make arrangements now."

On the other hand, Jin Wei looked at Wu Liang with a hint of surprise and admiration. He was usually an adventurous person, but he didn't expect that an official in a high position like Wu Liang would actually take risks himself.

His courage made Jin Wei look at Wu Liang with admiration...perhaps he was really not the same type of person as the greedy officials and nobles he had seen before.

"The little man will go pack up the boat first, and he can go out to sea in half an hour at most."

Before Bing Li and Jin Yu could make arrangements, Jin Wei took the initiative to salute Wu Liang.

"Thank you, Brother Jin."

Wu Liang returned the courtesy and smiled.

"Prefect Wu just calls me 'Wei', but I can't bear to call him my brother."

Jin Wei showed a rare smile to Wu Liang, returned the salute, turned around and walked quickly away.

…

Back to the government office again.

As expected, Zhuge Liang and Yu Ji did not find any particularly noteworthy information from the local legends on the wall, and much of this information was consistent with history books and folklore in Laoshan, which could not provide Wu Liang with any new clues at all.

However, this was within Wu Liang’s expectation.

After all, if the Japanese envoys had not come to ask for help this time, no one in the Celestial Dynasty would have been able to confirm whether Xu Fu had really arrived in the Japanese Kingdom. Moreover, no one knew that Xu Fu would go to sea again to try to return to the Celestial Dynasty after the Han Dynasty killed his relatives.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to find relevant clues after Xu Fu's return through these folk legends.

Even now, even the Japanese people are not sure whether Xu Fu has successfully returned to the Celestial Dynasty. After all, there are too many variables in the ocean.

to be honest.

Wu Liang personally believed that even if Xu Fuzhen found the elixir of immortality and became an unkillable ancestral god in the eyes of Japanese people, he might not end well if he accidentally fell into the boundless and bottomless ocean.

He saw such a movie in later generations.

It is also about a woman who became immortal and could not be killed by any means, but in the end people still found a way to deal with her.

People sealed her in a large iron coffin and threw her into the deep sea together with the iron pipe.

So this woman fell into an infinite loop. She would soon drown at the bottom of the sea, then be resurrected soon after, then drown again, and then be resurrected again... Eternal life is stuck in the bug, it is better to die happily. .

"Master, are you going to check out Tian Heng's former residence?"

After learning about Tian Heng's former residence and hearing Wu Liang's decision, Yu Ji's old face instantly wrinkled.

"Exactly."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, turned around and smiled at each other with the rest of the army.

Just now, Yang Wanli had already imitated Yu Ji's reaction after hearing this, and Yu Ji's behavior at this moment was already on par.

really.

"If that place is really so evil, I think it would be better not to go there. Besides, the purpose of your trip is to find the whereabouts of Xu Fu. There is really no need to go into this muddy water to avoid causing trouble!"

Yu Ji immediately advised.

Good guy, it's almost exactly the same as the words Yang Wanli imitated before, just a few words are slightly different.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

When everyone heard this, they burst out laughing, leaning forward and flexing their abs with laughter.

"Brother Youcai, what are you laughing at?"

Zhuge Liang didn't know why, and his face was full of confusion.

Yu Ji also looked puzzled.

"You can find out later by asking Yang Wanli privately."

Wu Liangliang couldn't stop laughing easily, patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder and said, "I have already inquired, Tian Heng and Xu Fu are old friends, although Tian Heng's mansion was built after Xu Fu went to sea, it should not be related to Xu Fu There is no direct connection, but Tian Heng’s residence is now the only clue we can pursue. Since we are already here, we cannot miss it no matter what."

"Yang Wanli must be arranging old things behind his back again, right?"

At this moment, Yu Ji's focus was no longer on Tian Heng's mansion. Instead, he looked angrily at Yang Wanli, who was smiling and wiping away tears.

"I didn't. Don't slander anyone!"

Yang Wanli laughed and defended himself, but then waved to Zhuge Liang, "Come on, come on, dear brother Zhuge, as the saying goes, it is better to enjoy alone than to enjoy everyone. I remembered something interesting and I must share it with you. ."

…

Half an hour later.

Wu Liang and others have already boarded the ship arranged by Jinwei. The ships of this group of "yellow scarf thieves" are not big. With more than ten people on each ship, it is already a bit crowded. However, the number is very impressive, with dozens of ships One round trip can pick up hundreds of people, and Wu Liang and the accompanying Hu army are naturally not a problem.

The weather today is quite good, and there is not a trace of wind or waves on the sea.

The strait between the Quxian coast and Yuzhou Mountain is not wide, and it is only about three kilometers by visual inspection. It only took about an hour for everyone to reach the island without any surprise.

According to Jin Wei.

Although Tian Heng's residence is located near the top of Yuzhou Mountain, it is on the back of the mountain that is contrary to the direction of Qu County. The village of their "Yellow Turban Bandits" is also built in the same direction, so that it will not be disturbed by others. Being able to easily see the location and the situation in the village can sometimes be used as a cover-up, so outsiders who don't know the situation don't even know that there are people living on the island.

This is indeed the right choice.

In this era, there were no observation methods such as satellites. If this group of "yellow scarf thieves" did not take the initiative to show up and Bing Li did not take the initiative to mention it before, Wu Liang would have thought that there was no one on the island at all.

But that's not important.

Wu Liang's purpose was very clear. After landing on the island, he immediately asked Jin Wei to take them to Tian Heng's mansion to check it out.

The altitude of Yuzhou Mountain is not very high. The highest point is only about 300 meters from the sea level. Generally speaking, there should not be a big temperature difference.

This is indeed the case.

Even though it is still early spring and the inland is still very cold, the temperature on the island has increased a lot. It feels like it should be around 23 or 4 degrees, which is the kind that is neither cold nor hot and the human body feels the most comfortable.

temperature.

As everyone walks up the mountain, the temperature may drop slightly.

However, because the Hu soldiers were wearing relatively thick clothes, everyone had begun to sweat, but they did not feel any obvious changes in the temperature of the ground.

After half an hour like this.

Wu Liang and others finally followed a path on the mountainside to the back of the mountain.

"Wu Taishi, please take a look. That is Tian Heng's mansion."

Jin Wei immediately pointed to a depression near the top of the mountain about one kilometer away from them and said, "Our stockade is at the foot of the mountain. It is a good haven. We usually make a living by fishing and leave the stockade.

Building it in a sheltered harbor can not only protect ships and ports, but also make it easier to go to sea."

Wu Liang first followed Jin Wei's finger and looked towards Tian Heng's mansion.

The depression is about two acres in size. The houses are all built close to the mountain. They are considered structures built on the mountain. On the walls outside the houses, you can see a large number of lush vines, which make those houses

The building package becomes a green castle.

Apart from these houses, the rest of the place is full of lush plants. However, except for a crooked neck tree, the remaining plants are not very tall and cannot block the buildings or the owners of the houses.

sight.

at the same time.

These plants cannot cover up the tombs without monuments evenly distributed in the depression.

Wu Liang saw the grave mounds at a glance. They were distributed around the house in a pattern of stars and moon. There was indeed a feeling that they were still guarding the house even after death.

After briefly observing Tian Heng's residence.
