Actually, Hua Yuan had liked people in his previous life.

At least, until today, Hua Yuan had always felt that she was deeply in love with Dugu Ye. That sort of paranoid madness had already reached a point where it seeped into his very bones.

Hua Yuan thought at that time, perhaps he would never be able to forget that person for the rest of his life.

Such deep love, and such deep hatred.

Now that she thought about it, Hua Yuan felt like she really didn't understand anything about love back then. Between him and Dugu Ye, it seemed more like he was using the name of love to weave a poisonous net, unceasingly luring himself into it.

When he was firmly stuck in the net like a spider's prey, unable to break free, he would ruthlessly tear himself apart. He couldn't care about anything!

Now that he thought about it again, he felt that it was somewhat laughable.

Now, even though he could feel it, he was scared and didn't dare to admit it. She was a coward!

Sui Qianying said, "Iris, you are still young right now, so your feelings will always follow your heart. No matter what, we are your family, we will always support you."

"Yes."

On the other side of the western mountains, Huang Shipu woke up early in the morning and set off with a few yamen runners, as well as a dozen or so men including Jun Yu Xiu and his men.

In any case, Jun Yu Xiu had given the order that Huang Shipu wouldn't bring anyone from his department. However, if that was the case, the two of them might become suspicious.

Meanwhile, Jun Yu Xiu was playing chess with Jun Yu Qing.

Someone from the shadows reported, "Lord Huang has already brought some men with him to head up the mountain."

"Have you set off yet?"

"Yes."

"Hur hur."

The person who had reported the matter had already left.

A chess piece was resting on Jun Yu Qing's left hand, as she casually said: "Sixth Brother, what kind of news do you think Huang Shipu will give us?"

The expression on Jun Yu Xiu's face was bland as he spoke. "This …" Perhaps there will be some useful information? "

"It must be useful information."

At this time, Huang Shipu had already brought his men up the small path. Having led a comfortable life for so many years, when had he ever encountered something like this? Not to mention trekking over mountains and rivers to such a remote mountain. Huang Shipu felt that if he were to make this trip, he would have to throw at least a dozen catties of meat!

"Phew …" I can't do it anymore. I need a break, a break. I really can't walk anymore. "

He said he didn't care about his image and sat down on the floor.

On the other hand, the yamen runners were not surprised by this. Seeing Huang Shipu's actions, everyone glanced at the other side and did not say anything. Obviously, they were waiting for him to rest before setting off.

The official court soldiers could not take it anymore. How long had it been since they left? Was he that tired? Do you know how important it is to delay time during a hasty march? If the two armies clashed, how important would it be to gather the topography of the land?

Was this the quality a county governor should have?

But no matter what, Huang Shipu was still an official. The people following him really couldn't control him much.

After resting for about an hour, he stood up again and pointed to a relatively normal place, "Next, I'll take my runner along this road. You guys take that road, it'll be more convenient to check it out like this, won't it?"

It seemed that his words made a lot of sense. Now that the proposal was made, everyone stopped and listened to their discussion.

As the saying goes, a level 1 official could crush a person to death. Now, Huang Shipu was naturally the biggest official amongst these people. He had no choice but to listen to what he had to say.

In the mountains, when they parted ways, Huang Shipu found a small bamboo house that was hidden in the mountains as usual, and sat inside it. As for the rest of the officials, some of them were watching the soldiers that came with them, while others were sent to negotiate with the King of the Mountain.

It was only when the sky was about to turn dark that Huang Shipu started to get along with those people.

"How's the investigation going?"

The leader of the soldiers said, "We've pretty much found the address."

Huang Shipu nodded and said, "Alright then, I understand."

The next day, Huang Shipu passed a map to Jun Yu Xiu and said, "This time, when I went into the mountains to look for information, I did find a lot of useful information. These two princes were indeed wise and wise. "This official thinks that if I can get all these information, then the exterminating bandits should be an easy task!"

Jun Yu Qing glared at him, but didn't say anything.

Jun Yu was unfurling the map. It bore a striking resemblance to the drawings his friend had given him that day. If one looked closely enough, they'd realize the similarities. Not the one they gave me!

In that instant, Jun Yu's aura suddenly turned violent.

There was a profound look in his eyes, but he couldn't tell what it was. It was just that the darkness and cold, like a blizzard, was lurking within …

The mountains where these bandits resided were very easy to defend and hard to attack. Not to mention, if he was holding the wrong map, then it would simply lead him to his death.

How could Jun Yu Xiu not be angry?

Without batting an eyelid, he put the map away and asked, "So this is what we got from this trip?"

"This official is ashamed, I can only get these things. I hope that the two princes will not mind them. "This official — this official has done his best."

"He only has this much ability, and yet he has to lead the imperial government with this much salary!" "What a waste!"

Jun Yuqing's eyes were ice-cold, as if she was looking at a dead man. Even though Huang Shipu knew that nothing would happen to him here at this moment. However, there was still a hint of coldness in Jun Yuqing's eyes.

He was trembling all over.

"This official … this official is indebted to the saint!"

"Hmph, get lost!"

After Huang Shipu had left, Jun Yu Xiu dipped his index finger into the tea and wrote on the table: Public bandit collusion!

Jun Yu Qing also nodded in agreement.

It was at this moment that the faint sound of someone beating the drum and wailing the injustice could be heard from the front. Jun Yu Qing and Jun Yu Xiu looked at each other, and saw the interest in each other's eyes. The two of them had always been very well-coordinated, so this time was no exception.

Shuangshuang walked out of her room, and just as she was walking out of the yard, she bumped into Huang Rongrong, the noble daughter of Huangzhi County.

Huang Rongrong was around 16 years old this year, which was the prime time of the year. Apricot eyes, pink cheeks, beautiful. Perhaps it was his first time meeting an outsider in his house. His originally pink cheeks were now blushing.

However, he still politely bowed down and greeted her with a bashful look on his face.

"No need for formalities." Jun Yu Xiu coldly replied.

Originally, in the palace, there were some ignorant young palace maids that had used this trick to seduce him. However, after being caned to death, these sort of things rarely happened. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a situation in the Mansion of Huangzhi County?

As Huang Rongrong listened to the coldness in his voice, her face showed signs of weakness, as well as a few traces of enduring and being wronged.

If it was an ordinary man, his heart would have been softened to a complete mess. How could he not lie to others!

However, both Jun Yu Qing and Jun Yu Xiu had seen many beautiful women in the palace, and were extremely annoyed by the idea of throwing themselves at them. They despised such women from the bottom of their hearts.

Moreover, they had important matters to attend to right now. Being disturbed like this naturally made them unhappy!

One couldn't blame Jun Yu Qing and Jun Yu Xiu for thinking about Huang Rong. In fact, the two of them had just entered the mansion when the maid's incident occurred. At this moment, people would naturally think that Huang Shipu was asking his daughter to do it herself because he felt that the maidservants were not up to the task!
