After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

Soon Tao Zhu came down from upstairs and walked up to her.

"Miss."

"what happened?"

Tao Zhu lowered his voice and handed her tea: "From what I heard from the other party, the person who came is a distinguished guest from the state government."

"Oh?"

"He is a very mysterious man, wearing a black robe and not letting anyone see his face."

He is so cautious, could he be delivering a message?

Nangong Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Pack your things and act accordingly. We must enter the city tonight."

If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know if there will be next time.

If that group of people were really desperate and closed the city gates to prevent anyone from entering or leaving, Nangong Yuan would probably be so angry that he would die.

The other party wanted to take a shower, so he went to fetch water from the back of the inn.

Nangong Yuan exchanged two face-changing pills from the system and took the opportunity to knock out the two guards.

"Throw it in the cellar. This place won't be easily discovered."

Tao Zhu nodded, and the two of them stripped off each other's clothes, put them on, took the face-changing pill, and followed the man's team into the city openly.

"The master has been waiting for you for a long time and has even sent someone to pick you up. Please come in, sir."

The provincial government sent people to greet them, and Nangong Yuan and Tao Zhu hurriedly followed.

As expected, the atmosphere in the city was very depressing.

He would meet common people from time to time, and he would look at them with resentment.

If they weren't all holding knives, they would have pounced on us.

Nangong Yuan looked around and found that the patrol teams were very frequent.

"That's strange, it shouldn't be that serious."

Even though the incident in Fuyang was quite a big deal, they shouldn't be treating it as a major threat, right?

Besides, this happened in the subordinate territory, didn’t the Southwestern Provincial Government know about it?

"It seems that we can't leave yet. We need to see the situation first."

The two looked at each other and followed the team.

Sure enough, they went to the provincial government office.

But after walking around for a while, he was invited to someone's house again.

The governor of Hongzhou was a slightly plump middle-aged man with a small mustache, and he looked very wealthy.

But who could have imagined that the local officials would do such a thing?

"Ahem, miss, something's not right about this place."

Nangong Yuan nodded: "Of course, the people in the city all look unhappy."

"I don't know what's going on with the Shen family. Since we're here, should we send a message?"

"Wait and see, don't act rashly."

The two men disguised themselves exactly like the previous guards, so others couldn't tell them apart at all.

However, the resting place for the guards is rather small, with two people in a room.

Fortunately, Tao Zhu is with her.

"Thank you all for your hard work these days. Now that we have escorted the master to Hongzhou safely, everyone should have a good rest first."

The captain of the guard gave them a few instructions and then told them to eat and drink their fill.

Nangong Yuan looked around. The courtyard of this provincial government was luxurious, and there were many guards.

"Eat first, there's no rush."

The two of them mingled among the guards for a few days before Nangong Yuan had the opportunity to get close to them.

The mysterious person who came usually didn't go out, didn't talk much to them, and was very quiet.

However, Yu Chengye in the provincial governor was very busy, with constant documents and orders.

Nangong Yuan didn't dare to approach his study casually. This man was very cautious and there were always people guarding outside the yard, making it difficult to approach.

"We have something urgent to do tonight. Get some rest, brothers. We will gather in the front yard when the time comes."

Everyone agreed and went back to rest.

·······

After night fell, the group left the provincial capital and headed north to the parade ground.

"Tsk, Hongzhou garrison, what are you doing here so late at night?"

Nangong Yuan didn't dare let anyone notice that anything was wrong and just did his duty as a guard conscientiously.

Soon a mysterious man came out and personally watched them work.

Only at this moment did Nangong Yuan feel something was wrong.

"It's strange, why are there so many Hongzhou garrison troops?"

Although it was dark at night, the number of troops in the military camp far exceeded the 8,000 stipulated in Kyoto.

And I heard that Hongzhou was colluding with bandits, which is very dangerous no matter how you look at it.

"My lord, everything is almost ready."

The man in black robe snorted coldly: "How can it be so easy? And have you found what I asked you to find?"

"As you know, the scene was chaotic and I don't know who took the things. I'm still looking for them."

"Hurry up. If you lose this thing, your head will be in danger."

Yu Chengye smiled and said, "Yes, I understand."

The garrison in the distance was doing something unknown, moving equipment from the camp.

This went on for the entire night before the mysterious man went home.

Nangong Yuan was so tired that he went back and fell asleep immediately.

It was Tao Zhu who woke him up in advance.

"Miss, there's someone outside."

Nangong Yuan rubbed her eyes and put on her clothes, and sure enough, she saw a group of people at the door.

The leader was carrying a long sword on his back, and he was obviously a martial artist.

"Brother Chen, you are finally here."

Yu Chengye walked up to him and greeted him. The two men exchanged greetings and then went into the house while talking.

Seeing this, Nangong Yuan said, "I have to listen to what they are saying, Tao Zhu..."

"Miss, go ahead and don't worry. I'll buy you some time."

After saying that, he went to chat with the guards of the provincial government.

Living here these days, they have relaxed their vigilance, after all, they are one of us.

When Nangong Yuan saw their eyes shift away, she jumped out.

"Since my brother can come, it means that the matter over at Mushan Village is over."

The man surnamed Chen nodded and said, "We have already done everything as the adults said. No one can stop us from investigating."

"That's good, that's good. I'm very confident that you can do the job."

"By the way, I heard someone from above is coming?"

Yu Chengye chuckled: "He's here to supervise, so it doesn't hurt to give him some face. He has to leave anyway."

"Yeah, who else would be willing to stay here besides us?"

The two of them sat down and talked affectionately.

But after listening for a long time, Nangong Yuan only vaguely understood a little.

That is... the man surnamed Chen is the leader of the bandits, and Yu Chengye has a good relationship with him.

They are indeed in collusion.

Apart from that...those two people were evasive in their words and refused to speak clearly.

“Tsk… I’m so annoyed.”

She cursed inwardly, listened for a moment, and then walked out.

Tao Zhu came back not long after and said, "This Yu Chengye is really afraid of death."

"How to say?"

Tao Zhu said: "It's fine that they change the guards every day, but they also make marching maps all day long, saying that they are expanding the equipment for the garrison, but no one uses it."

Most of the guards in this mansion were transferred from the garrison. Nangong Yuan vaguely felt that he had grasped something.

But I couldn't think of it for a moment.

"Hongzhou, the situation is indeed complicated. What should we do?"

She wants to investigate a case and this is the closest place.

But there was no progress for a while, and Nangong Yuan couldn't help but get anxious.
