I transmigrated into a farming novel and started with a campervan.

Xie Yu had no choice but to follow Wang Yiyi along the trail, not daring to make too much noise.

The trail didn't extend far into the Dayong region before winding its way back into the territory of Daqi.

The further they walked, the more serious Xie Yu's expression became: "These people are from the Great Qi."

The caravans always ran into trouble as soon as they arrived in Dayong, so he always thought it was the people of Dayong who were responsible. He also secretly investigated Dayong, but found nothing. It turned out that it was the people of Daqi.

He was shocked and then enraged that someone would treat his own people so cruelly.

Wang Yiyi wasn't too surprised: "Although the incident happened on the border between the two countries, the bodies were always found within the territory of Daqi. If they were from Dayong, they wouldn't have stood idly by."

Firstly, it would worsen relations between the two countries. Secondly, most of the jade from Dayong Kingdom was sold to Daqi, which would be tantamount to cutting off their own source of income.

Wang Yi looked around and said, "This place is surrounded by dense forest. Living here is no different from living as a wild animal. Those bandits have robbed a lot of money, so they definitely won't live like this anymore. They should have a place to stay down the mountain."

The trail ended deep in the forest, indicating that the group was very cautious.

There was no point in investigating any further, so Wang Yiyi led Xie Yu back.

"I'll immediately send people to investigate the surrounding area," Xie San said proactively without Xie Yu's instructions.

Xie Yu nodded slightly and said to Wang Yi, "It's not safe to stay here any longer. Let's leave first."

Wang Yi sincerely thanked Xie San: "Please keep a close eye on the surrounding villages that don't engage in production but are all wealthy."

Such an event must have involved an entire village; otherwise, it would have been exposed long ago.

The three of them took another path and arrived at the place where the horses were tied up. Xie San rode his horse in another direction, while Xie Yu took Wang Yi back to the military camp.

Wang Yi didn't go inside. He thanked Xie Yu again at the entrance of the military camp before leaving.

Xie Yu didn't linger and went straight back to his tent.

"Uncle." Xie Yu was somewhat surprised to see the person inside the tent.

Xie Cheng's expression wasn't good: "You just went out with Wang San?"

Xie Yu didn't intend to hide it from Xie Cheng: "Yes, because of the tragic deaths of the caravan, the next ruthless ones should be the Daqi people. Xie San has already gone to investigate."

Xie Cheng didn't take the matter to heart, his face full of disdain: "This matter is for the government to handle. You, the leader of the Southwest Army, are meddling in such trivial matters."

"Uncle, be careful what you say. No matter how small the matter is, it concerns the common people. Since we've encountered this, we should investigate it."

Xie Yu's tone was somewhat harsh, and his expression showed no respect whatsoever.

Xie Cheng didn't dare to really go against Xie Yu, so he waved his hand helplessly and said, "Fine, whatever you want. But you should avoid associating with Wang Yiyi in the future."

The thought of what his men had told him upon their return sent chills down his spine; no one could simply vanish into thin air.

He didn't believe it at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it wasn't impossible, after all, this person could control such a horse.

Xie Yu was somewhat impatient with these words: "I don't need to worry about who I associate with, Uncle."

Hearing this, Xie Cheng also got angry. Putting aside his status, he was still Xie Yu's uncle after all.

"I am your uncle, and your mother is my own sister. Would I harm you? Don't forget that you still have Xie family blood in your veins after being cared for by the Empress for a few days."

Xie Yu's face also darkened: "I haven't forgotten my mother, it's just that Wang Yiyi still has some use to me."

Xie Cheng grew angrier as he listened, slamming his fist on the table: "We should have sent more people to kill her and be done with it, so you wouldn't have to worry about it and ruin everything."

"Was her assassination attempt in the prison orchestrated by you?"

Xie Yu's face instantly flushed with anger; things she couldn't understand before, she now understood completely.

Li Xian'er has already been framed, so why send someone to assassinate her? It's pointless.

Xie Cheng felt a little guilty. He was so angry that he let it slip, but he was doing it for the greater good.

He retorted, "Those who aspire to great things shouldn't be so indecisive. Wang Yiyi has had too much influence on you; keeping him around will only bring trouble sooner or later. Have you forgotten how His Majesty almost lost the throne because of the Empress?"

He didn't think he had done anything wrong; he just hadn't succeeded.

Xie Yu clenched his fists, and it took a lot of effort to control the anger in his heart.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Uncle, if she really dies, have you considered our plan? How could you possibly find such a fine steed that can reach the capital in two days?"

"You know Wang Yiyi well. If you confront her directly, she will only become our enemy. Uncle, you almost ruined everything."

If Xie Cheng weren't his uncle, he would have strangled the person in front of him without hesitation.

Thankfully, Wang Yiyi was unharmed.

"Are you really only after her divine steed?"

Upon receiving Xie Yu's affirmative answer, Xie Cheng softened his tone: "But we didn't succeed. I was blinded by anger at the time, and I realized it was inappropriate afterwards, so I didn't send anyone else afterward, did I?"

Xie Yu closed his eyes briefly. "Don't act on your own in the future. Let's just let today's matter go."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Xie Cheng dared not say anything more and left the tent with a gloomy expression.

Poor Xie San, he had just returned from his business when he was inexplicably beaten with ten strokes of the military rod.

Wang Yiyi was unaware of what was happening in the military camp.

As soon as she returned, she saw that the Chamber of Commerce was packed with people; almost everyone in Shi County who did jade business had come.

They all looked anxious. They could say that Boss Shen was just unlucky.

But with Boss Sun also getting into trouble, they could no longer bury their heads in the sand; these thugs were after their lives.

Upon seeing Wang Yiyi return, they immediately surrounded him: "Wang Yiyi, how did things go?"

A group of people surrounded a little girl as if she were a lifeline, which looked incredible.

But they had no choice at the moment. The business with the Northwest Jade had only just begun, and the business with Dayong Kingdom was already completely ruined. Apart from trusting the young man, they didn't know what else to do.

Wang Yi looked exhausted, but seeing these anxious faces, she forced herself to stay alert: "We'll have a lead soon. What did the magistrate say?"

Zheng Xingtou immediately replied, "I just returned from the government office. The magistrate said that this was the work of a mediocre man, and there was nothing he could do about it."

A county magistrate's staff is limited, so Wang Yiyi didn't have high hopes: "I just found a new lead, I'm going to the county office now."

Xie Yu needs to investigate, and the county magistrate also needs to investigate. She needs to tell the county magistrate what she finds.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they followed Wang Yiyi to the county government office.

The county magistrate was quite annoyed by this group of people; it seemed endless. He hadn't had a moment's rest all day because of this.

"I have already sent people to investigate. You can go back and wait patiently."
