It turned out that just last night when Li You and others went to the eastern suburbs of Sishui County to meet Miao Cuilin and his son, Xue Rengui, who secretly protected them, found someone following him. They did not alert the snake. When Li You and the others left Dongwang Village, they continued to secretly monitor those who followed him.

At night, the scene of the man in black kidnapped Miao Cuilin and his son was seen in the eyes of Xue Rengui and others. They followed them quietly, but still did not alert the enemy. They had to wait until they reported the situation to Li You.

This morning, Li You was about to get up and have a morning exercise as usual. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Xue Rengui and others outside the door. Li You said, "Go outside and talk."

Xue Rengui followed Li You to punch in the yard while reporting in a low voice.

Li You heard that his group of people had been monitored, especially when he went to see Miao Cuilin and his son last night, but they were taken away. He thought this matter was too strange. He said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss later."

While boxing, Li You secretly thought: "These people have such great strength, which is not something that ordinary people do. The high possibility is that they are related to the local powerful people. When they investigate this matter, the local government should actively cooperate. But they took this action, it seems that they were afraid that they would come into contact with people related to the river. What were they hiding?"

Li You was not very interested in this matter, but now it aroused his curiosity and he decided to continue to investigate.

The two continued morning exercises, and with the light of their eyes, they could see someone in the inn secretly monitoring them.

Li You finished his morning exercises, returned to the house, called Zhang Baogui, and he lowered his voice and said, "This matter seems to be really not simple. All our actions are under surveillance.

We are in the open, and if this continues, we will not find anything. My opinion is that we will leave Luoyang, escape from the surveillance of those people, and then shoot back. In this way, we will be in the dark and take the initiative."

Zhang Baogui and Xue Rengui agreed with Li You's opinion and decided that Li You and others would leave Luokou and go south with great fanfare. Xue Rengui and others stayed secretly to protect Miao Cuilin and his son.

...

Shortly after Li You and others left Luokou, Miao Xiting, the magistrate of Sishui County, received news that Miao Cuilin and his son were missing. He realized that the problem was serious and hurried to the inn. When he heard that the King of Qi Li You had left, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. He now deeply regretted that he had helped Li You, but as a result, Miao Cuilin and his son were put in danger, and his future situation might be very worrying.

After thinking about it, he decided to mobilize the power of the county to try to rescue Miao Cuilin and his son, and then resign from their official positions and leave the officialdom. This is a place of failure.

Sai Shui County Government.

That night, Miao Xiting was anxiously waiting for the news. He was upset and picked up a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to pass the time, but he couldn't read a word. He looked at "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and thought to himself: "I heard that this Prince of Qi is a prince who dares to act and is very talented. Even he wrote this copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Only then did he be willing to come forward to help him.

But unexpectedly, His Highness of the King of Qi is so irresponsible, and it seems that he is still too young. Now something happened to Miao Cuilin and his son, but he has left here.

This is not the fault of others, it is all because I am not familiar with the officialdom. I am not a good person to be an official."

Soon, the captain Ma Ming came in. When Miao Xiting saw his face, he knew that he had nothing to do. But he couldn't help asking, "Is there any news about Miao Cuilin and his son?"

County Ma Ming shook his head and said, "Sir, there is no news. It seems that they have left the territory of Sishui County. The people who hijacked Miao Cuilin and his son must not have done it by the people of this county, and there are no clues at all."

Miao Xiting waved his hand in disappointment and said, "You go down first."

Ma Ming bowed and said withdrew.

When Miao Xiting returned to the back house, his wife Gao said worriedly: "Master, uncle, my uncle and son are missing, so don't have any trouble, otherwise how can you explain to your father?"

Miao Xiting was upset. When he heard his wife say this, he said impatiently: "Don't you talk about this matter. Am I trying my best to investigate?"

It was late at night, and Miao Xiting was lying on the bed toss and couldn't sleep, so she put it on and came.

In the study, a servant lit a lantern for him and then retreated.

Miao Xiting is here alone, so he needs to clarify his thoughts and think about how he faces the dangerous situation in the future. He knew that his actions had angered the interest groups of the Luoyang government, and his official position would definitely not be able to be saved.

What he is worried about now is the safety of Miao Cuilin and his son. He suddenly thought that if something happened to Miao Cuilin and his son, would those people just attack themselves in order to prevent themselves from pursuing them?

Thinking of this, he was shocked and sweated.

At this moment, the people in the study were pushed away. When he looked up, he saw a tall man in black walking in. Not only that, the man in black was holding a bright Tang sword in his hand!

Miao Xiting was about to shout, but the person came and said, "Don't be afraid of the county magistrate, I am Xue Rengui."

Miao Xiting looked closely and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He said excitedly: "General Xue, how could it be you? Haven't you left Luokou?"

Xue Rengui smiled and said, "Not only did I not leave, but even the King of Qi has come back."

A sense of happiness surged in Miao Xiting's heart, and then he felt that the King of Qi was not simple. He thought to himself: "The name of a person is the shadow of a tree. The name of His Royal Highness of Qi was really not in vain. He did not misunderstand the person."

Xue Rengui said: "Sir, you are still worried about Miao Cuilin and his son. Please rest assured that we already know their whereabouts. Our people are monitoring them and can save people at any time. I came here to discuss things with the adults."

When Miao Cuilin and his son had a whereabouts, Miao Xiting felt relieved. He said, "General Xue, please give me instructions."

Xue Rengui said: "The prince is outside the city now. Some things need to be discussed with you in person. You can go out of the city with me and go to see the prince."

Miao Xiting said, "Okay, let's go with General Xue."

Xue Rengui said, "You go out directly to the east gate, I'll wait for you there." After that, he walked out.

Miao Xiting walked out of the study door and saw Xue Rengui walking to the edge of the wall. Although the county government wall was not as tall as the city wall, it was more than one person tall. He saw Xue Rengui gently lateral upwards and press his hand on the wall. The man had already stepped on the wall and then disappeared.

Miao Xiting thought to himself: "The subordinates of His Highness King Qi are really capable." He called Miao Yong in person and rode his horse towards the east gate of the county town.

Miao Xiting and others left the east gate and walked not far away, they saw Xue Rengui standing on the side of the road and several soldiers under him.
