The governor's envoy office finally got news. There are two governors in the Supervisory Yuan. One is patrolling Huzhou, not far from Jiangnan, and will be in Xu County in the near future.

After receiving the news, Gu Siyuan suppressed his impulse for the time being and waited patiently.

However, some people couldn't sit still after hearing the news about the governor.

When Magistrate Lin learned that the governor's envoy was coming to Xu County in the south of the Yangtze River, where could he safely look for opportunities and act rashly?

He made a prompt decision and decided to take action that night.

-

Gu Siyuan came to the shore early to wait. The governor's envoy's boat arrived in Xu County today, and Qin Zhongwan also volunteered to come.

The night was hazy, and the shadow of the ship was seen in the distance. The two stood on the shore, quietly waiting for the ship to dock.

The ship slowly docked, and the figure of the man standing on the bow deck gradually became clearer.

After Zhao Jingwen received the letter from the prince, he rushed from Huzhou non-stop and walked by water all night. The man looked a little tired but was in good spirits.

"Governor Zhao."

Gu Siyuan stepped forward to greet him, and Zhao Jingwen nodded in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "Your Highness."

As the governor of the Supervisory Council specially appointed by the emperor, he can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. In the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince, he is just an ordinary prince.

"Is there any evidence for what His Highness said in the letter?" Zhao Jingwen was outspoken. He was an upright and honest man. Otherwise, he would not have won the emperor's heart. He served as a supervisory governor and went south to inspect local officials to see if there were any corrupt officials.

As soon as he arrived in Huzhou, he got a letter from Gu Siyuan and hurried to Jiangnan.

"Governor Zhao, it's a long story. This is not the place to talk."

The dark shore made Qin Zhongwan feel vaguely uncomfortable, as there seemed to be danger hidden everywhere.

Gu Siyuan led the governor in the direction of the carriage parked nearby, and Qin Zhongwan followed Gu Siyuan.

"Master." Chang'an stood beside the carriage holding a knife, stepped forward and opened the curtain. Just as Governor Zhao was about to board the door, a man in black ran out from the darkness.

Chang'an lowered his face, quickly drew out his knife, and slashed at the intruder.

Bright red blood spattered out, and Chang An didn't even blink.

The news that Governor Zhao was coming to Xu County tonight was leaked out unknown. Figures of people emerged from the carriage in all directions, all with unfamiliar faces. The blood on Chang An's body had already soaked into several layers of clothes.

The people who rushed up were all civilians. When Chang'an fought with them, he could feel the unfamiliarity of some of them. They were not martial arts practitioners, but they rushed forward as if they were not afraid of death.

Their target was Gu Siyuan. Changan was unable to defeat the four punches with both hands, and countless people rushed out secretly.

ambush!This is an ambush!

Chang'an shouted to Gu Siyuan, "Master, run!"

No matter how superb Chang'an's martial arts were, they could not defeat the human sea tactics.

Governor Zhao almost got into the carriage, but hurriedly got out of the carriage. Gu Siyuan was guarding him behind him. Qin Zhongwan's hand was also held tightly. She felt a little pain. When she saw Gu Siyuan's solemn profile, she gritted her teeth. He held back his exclamation.

This group of people was coming in a menacing manner, and they were willing to risk their lives to entangle a few people. It was still difficult for Chang'an alone to resist.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chang An shouted at Gu Siyuan and others to leave the place quickly.

Governor Zhao frowned, avoiding the sword without eyes.

The three of them were escorted by someone from Chang'an and walked out with difficulty.

"Chang'an!"

"go!"

Qin Zhongwan turned around and looked at Chang'an, who was gradually being submerged in the crowd. Her heart was lifted severely. Gu Siyuan pulled Qin Zhongwan, knowing that Chang'an was not easy.

The crowd around them continued to surge upwards, eyeing them with eager eyes. Chang'an's persistence was wasted by hesitation at this time.
