Sui Xin raised his hand and said, "My Lord, I swear to God that I, Sui Xin, did nothing. I have always been an upright person. If I don't like him, I will deal with him openly and will never use any shady tricks."

Wan Lianxing looked at his followers, "Did you go to find Chen Ming last night?"

The attendant said, "I have been sleeping next to you. Why would I go to him? Don't you think it's not enough for me to be scolded by you?"

Wan Lianxing looked worried, "Could this man really have left? But there is no one to lead the way in this Broken Road Forest, so he can't get out."

Cheng Feng couldn't hold it in any longer. If he didn't tell the truth, Huang Chenming would probably be fed to the wild beasts. "Uncle, Chenming came to see me last night."

"Oh? What did he tell you?"

"He said he wanted to leave, and asked me to draw him a map of the Broken Road Forest."

"You drew it?"

"I was drunk and sleepy, so I drew for him. If I didn't draw, he would stand at my door and not leave."

"Hahahaha, I've said long ago that this guy is unreliable, but Your Majesty still doesn't believe it. I guess he has taken Your Majesty's secrets and defected to someone else. If he is not eliminated, he will definitely be a threat in the future." The speaker was a follower.

Sui Xin said, "That's bad. He has a map. If he is skilled enough, it is not impossible for him to get out. Come on, send someone to chase him. We can't let him leave here alive."

The only person who can speak for Huang Chenming here is Cheng Feng, "Huang Chenming is not a bad person. He was in a bad mood because of you guys' bullying yesterday, so he wants to leave here. Uncle, you can't listen to everyone's random analysis. You know best what kind of person Chenming is."

Wan Lianxing said: "Sui Xin, send someone to chase Chen Ming, and send him to the governor's mansion when you catch him. Don't touch him at all."

"Yes." Sui Xin asked Sui Dan to take twenty people and ride on fast horses to chase Huang Chenming.

The considerate attendant said, "We have only been out for an hour. He will catch up soon. Your Majesty, don't worry."

Wan Lianxing nodded. He was angry, annoyed, depressed, and annoyed. In short, all kinds of emotions were intertwined together, making him silent for a while.

Cheng Feng's heart was in turmoil. If he didn't give Huang Chenming a map, this man probably wouldn't be able to leave at four o'clock in the morning. He blamed himself when he thought about it. How could he draw a map for someone who was leaving? Wasn't that stupid? If he sent away such an adviser of his uncle, he would be the one with the greatest responsibility. It would be unforgivable for his followers to bully others.

Suddenly Wan Lianxing asked Cheng Feng: "Feng'er, under what circumstances would a person leave even though he knew there was danger on the road?"

Cheng Feng thought about the conversation between Huang Chenming and him last night, "There should be a bigger threat."

Wan Lianxing already understood what Cheng Feng wanted to say. All he could do now was to sit here and wait for news from Huang Chenming.

At noon, the people sent out to look for Huang Chenming came back, "My Lord, Sui Dan is back with his men."

Wan Lianxing stood up and walked out. When he saw the person who was brought back, he frowned, "This person is not Huang Chenming. How could he be Huang Chenming with such long hair?"

Sui Dan said: "I chased him all the way but didn't see any trace of Huang Chenming. Then I found this person and brought him back."

"This is not our man. Why did you bring him back?"

"This man is not simple. If I don't bring him back, he will arrive at our camp in another hour. He said he is here to see the Marquis."

Wan Lianxing frowned even more tightly, "Looking for me, I don't know him."

The man knelt on the ground and said, "My Lord, my name is Sha Yueteng, the son of Deputy General Sha Guanghan."

"Old Sha's son? Why are you here looking for me?" Wan Lianxing looked at Sha Yueteng, who was dirty and injured in many places. He had heard that Sha Guanghan had two sons. When they were very young, they followed Sha Guanghan to fight the enemy and were very brave and good at fighting. It seemed to be true.

"My mother and I went to the governor's mansion to look for you. The people in the governor's mansion told us that the marquis was hunting in Duanlu Forest, so I came."

"How many people are in your group?"

"I'm the only one here. There aren't many people left in our Sha family. My mother and my brother will be waiting for me at the entrance of Shepan Ancient Road."

"You walked here all by yourself. Didn't you encounter any wild animals on the way?"

"Yes, I was bitten by snakes several times on the Panshe Ancient Trail. On the second day after entering the Broken Road Forest, my horse was bitten to death by a venomous snake."

"The forest is so big, how did you find me here? It rained the past two days, so it must be hard to find our footprints."

"I found it by following the marks you left behind."

Wan Lianxing looked at his people and asked: "Have we made any marks along the way?"

Everyone shook their heads, only Cheng Feng was stunned. Wan Lianxing asked: "Feng'er, did you leave a mark?"

Cheng Feng didn't dare to lie, "My nephew did leave a mark, thinking that it would be convenient for us to get out."

"Then can you tell Huang Chenming the mark?"

"I drank a little too much last night and forgot about marking. I just drew a map for him and I don't know if it's accurate."

"Feng'er, wait until we get back to the governor's mansion and see how I deal with you. You disobeyed my instructions on the way, drew a map for Huang Chenming in the middle of the night, and marked the road without my permission. You didn't mark the road for your own people, but let a stranger take advantage of it. Sha Yueteng came alone. If he came with a group of people, wouldn't we be exposed?"

Sui Xin said, "My Lord, don't be angry. I will send someone to remove the mark made by Cheng Feng and kill this guy named Sha. This matter will be over once and for all."

As he was speaking, Sui Xin's knife had already escaped. Wan Lianxing did not seem to have any objection to Sui Xin's words. Sha Yueteng shouted, "My Lord, don't kill me first."

"If I don't kill you, what use are you?"

"My father has been detained by Xu Sanduo and will be executed soon. I beg you to help me rescue my father before you kill me."

"I get a headache when I talk about your father. Your father is a traitor who wants to die. I saw that he would do this a long time ago. You shouldn't have come to me. Instead of coming to me, you should have taken your mother and your brother and fled for your lives. It's better to have one person alive than to have no descendants at all."

"My Lord, there is no one in our Sha family who lives in disgrace. Please save my father's life because of your personal relationship with him."

"Sha Yueteng, you don't know that your father and I don't have any personal relationship. He looked down on me from the beginning. The fact that he could come to me and say a few nice words calmly was because your father wanted to get the money from me. I don't want the money your father owes me. Since you are the descendant of Sha Guanghan and you are so brave, you can break into this Duanlu Forest alone and stand in front of me, Wan Lianxing. I respect you as a man, so I will spare your life and let you go today. Don't tell anyone what you see here, otherwise I will find you wherever you are."
