In less than two days, Du Ruhui's group arrived at Mount Hengniu.
Du Qi, Xiao Yuanqi, and the others came down from the mountain and waited on the official road.
The people on the mountain were all packed up.
Some people didn't bring anything, while others brought bags of various sizes. Everyone had already moved away from Mount Hengniu. Thus, the current Mount Hengniu was completely empty.
Du Ruhui's carriage stopped when it got on. Du Ruhui hurriedly got off the carriage and met Du Qi. He looked at Du Qi from head to toe. Seeing Du Qi unharmed, Du Ruhui was really relieved.
He was worried about Du Qi's safety all the way. Even if Du Qi was protected by Mordor, Du Ruhui was still worried. After all, Du Qi was his son, and Mount Hengniu wasn't a good place.
Du Ruhui said, "Erlang, are you okay?"
Du Qi smiled and said, "Father, your son is fine. There's no problem."
"That's good, that's good."
Du Ruhui said, "Don't take risks like this in the future. This time, I hid it from your mother at first, but when it was found out, your mother blamed me all the way. She couldn't eat or sleep well, so she was very worried. "
Du Qi said, "I know."
Then, Du Qi pointed at Xiao Yuanqi, "Father, let me introduce you. This is Old Xiao. Xiao Yuanqi, he'll follow me from now on. "
Xiao Yuanqi said, "Xiao Yuanqi greets Steward Du!"
Du Ruhui said, "You're with Erlang, so you're family. No need to be so polite."
Xiao Yuanqi nodded, but didn't say much.
Du Ruhui said, "We've wasted a lot of time on the way up north. Let's go up north. "
Du Qi nodded.
The group set off again, heading north. After the group left Pu Prefecture, they entered Jiang Prefecture. Although there were more than a hundred people along the way, it was not difficult for Liu Jian to prepare food for more than a hundred people. In any case, he was well-equipped, and it was easy for him to make a big pot.
It was a simple task for Liu Jian, but Xiao Yuan Qi, Chen Zhong, Zhao Chen, and the rest of the Hengniu Mountain's people ate Liu Jian's dishes, and they all fell in love with the taste.
Most importantly, when they stopped every night, they would have a feast, and the food they ate was not bad at all.
Therefore, all of them were overjoyed. Just this mouthful of delicious food was enough to conquer them and make them serve Du Qi wholeheartedly.
While Du Qi's group was heading north, Niu Hengshan's news had also reached the Wang Clan of Taiyuan Prefecture.
When Wang Zongxi got the news that Xiao Yuanqi had surrendered to Du Qi, he was furious. He called everyone from the Wang Clan over, and finally looked at Wang Yu, "Wang Yu, what's wrong with Xiao Yuan Qi? Why did he suddenly submit to Du Qi?"
Wang Yu said, "Master, I don't know what's going on either! When I went to Niu Hengshan to see Xiao Yuan Qi, he took our money and promised to kill the Du Clan's people. The current situation is too sudden. "
Wang Zongxi originally wanted to scold him.
However, in the end, he gave up the idea. Now he needed to gather all the Wang Clan's forces together. He couldn't let some small things cause people's hearts to scatter. Otherwise, if no one supported him, he would be an empty shell.
Wang Zongxi was silent for a moment, and said, "Now that Du Qi's family has entered Jiang Prefecture, their next step is Jin Prefecture, Fen Prefecture, then Taiyuan Prefecture, and finally Xin Prefecture to Dai Prefecture."
"They still have some distance to go north to Dai Prefecture. Although we've made a plan to let Niu Hengshan and Xiao Yuan Qi take action. Once Xiao Yuan Qi is defeated, we'll wait for Du Qi's family to enter Dai Prefecture, then we'll use our family's resources to make it difficult for him to govern Dai Prefecture. "
"But Xiao Yuan Qi betrayed us and followed Du Qi. I can't accept this big loss. So, I think we can still take action. Everyone, do you have a way to deal with Du Qi? "
Wang Zongxi's face was full of unwillingness.
Wang Yu said, "Master, I do have a way."
Wang Zongxi asked, "What is it?"
Wang Yu said, "Drive the tiger to swallow the wolf!"
Wang Zongxi asked, "What do you mean by driving the tiger to devour the wolf?"
Wang Yu replied, "As far as I know, there are some bandits everywhere in Jin Prefecture. These bandits are deliberately left by the government so that they can be encircled and suppressed from time to time. "
"I think after the Du Clan's people enter Jin Prefecture, we should mobilize the family's forces and let the Wang Clan's people in Jin Prefecture's officialdom mobilize their forces to encircle and suppress these bandits in Jin Prefecture, and push them toward the Du Clan's official road."
"A group of bandits will slaughter the Du Clan's people when they encounter them."
"As long as the bandits rob the Du Clan, the matter will be completely solved. The Du Clan's people will die in Jin Prefecture, and the government will continue to encircle and suppress the bandits. This matter will be perfectly resolved, and no one will be able to find fault. "
Wang Yu's expression was solemn. "Even if the Emperor knows what happened in Jin Prefecture, so what? After all, it was done by bandits, and the Jin Prefecture government even exterminated the bandits. This is a merit to the Imperial Court."
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Wang Zongxi's face revealed a bright smile.
He agreed with Wang Yu's plan.
This was an extremely brilliant strategy to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf.
Wang Zongxi leaned forward slightly. "Wang Yu, do you think we should arrange for someone to leak some information to the bandits in Jin Prefecture, and let them consciously head south to the border with Jiang Prefecture?"
"No need!"
Wang Yu shook his head. "If we leak information, there will be a flaw. The crux of the matter is the government's encirclement. The Jin Prefecture government will use some thought to force the bandits to head south in the direction of Jiang Prefecture. These bandits would naturally understand very quickly. This will facilitate this matter. "
Wang Zongxi nodded with an expression of approval.
The plan was good.
Wang Zongxi looked around and said, "Everyone, what do you think of Wang Yu's plan?"
"Yes, it's feasible."
One by one, they spoke.
Everyone had reached a consensus.
In the eyes of the Wang Family, they could not wait to kill Du Qi as soon as possible. Because of Wang Zongzhou's matter this time, they had all become street rats. Wherever they went, there would be voices of criticism and discussion.
No one wanted to see such a situation. The Wang Family was used to being superior, and they were not used to such a situation. Therefore, they could not wait to kill Du Qi right away.
Wang Zongxi made the decision. "Since there are no objections, it's settled. Wang Yu, you still have full authority to arrange this matter. You are responsible for informing the Wang Family in Jin Prefecture, and let them mobilize their forces to arrange the layout. "
"Yes!"
Wang Yu immediately agreed.
This time, the diplomatic mission failed. They failed to help Xiao Yuanqi assassinate Du Qi's family. Instead, they lost a lot of money for nothing. This situation made Wang Yu feel quite uncomfortable.
Wang Yu also wanted to prove himself, so after receiving Wang Zongxi's arrangement, he made up his mind to complete the mission well and not disappoint.
