It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 200

Jiang Yan checked the map. The Xiyuan County she was leaving was close to the center of Zhongyuan Prefecture. Compared with the county town she had first entered after coming down the mountain, it was much further south.

But it was not a big problem. She just had to go north and pass through three counties to reach the border between Zhongyuan Prefecture and Heding Prefecture.

Because time was running out, Jiang Yan realized that with his current strength, even if he got up early and went to bed late, it would still be a waste of time, so he took out some copper coins and rented a donkey cart to hurry on.

Unfortunately, for safety reasons, the driver only picked up and dropped off people within the city. Jiang Yan had to jump off the donkey cart at the gate of Qianshui County and then quickly head towards Lingshui County.

Whether it was the name of the county or the information he had heard, Lingshui County was the last large county with relatively abundant resources along the way to Dongshan Village. Jiang Yan thought as he hurried on the road that if he could bring back some good seeds from Lingshui County, the old people in Dongshan Village would definitely be happy.

-----------------

Since the night of the previous day, Governor Han's residence has been hit by waves of assassination attempts.

The family of Governor Han was hidden by the guards in a remote courtyard, and the sounds of knives and arrows could be heard from time to time outside the courtyard.

The governor's wife hugged her trembling young daughter tightly and remained silent.

The family members were hurriedly escorted here from the backyard by the guards. Apart from a few cakes that a nanny had brought in on a whim, they had nothing else.

These people were crowded in a dark and small house, without food or water, and they were nervous and haggard.

After each attack, there was a brief lull. The governor's wife coaxed her children to eat some dry snacks, then walked to the door and whispered, "Where did he get his enemies?"

The Governor's wife and Governor Han had not spoken for half a month. Governor Han, preoccupied with Wu Fusui, had been staying in the front yard, and even when someone from the backyard came to visit him, he ignored them.

After several attempts, it was not until the governor's wife found the people around the governor and asked them questions that she found out that they were looking for the son of Prime Minister Wu and not for any other dirty business.

But the wife of the governor was still angry and didn't bother to pay attention, so she missed the incident when Governor Han turned against Prime Minister Qi Wu.

When the guards told them that Governor Han had offended Prime Minister Wu, the Governor's wife, like Commander-in-Chief Mo, found it unbelievable.

"Does Han Ping still remember the old master and the old lady who were held hostage in the capital?"

"He had a falling out with Prime Minister Wu. Has he ever considered the future of our family?"

The guards could not answer the governor's wife's questions, and she did not expect to get an answer from them.

She forced herself to remain calm and asked in a steady voice, "Is the governor stationed outside? Please pay close attention and protect him."

Those who were sent to protect the family were all people trained by Governor Han over the years, and naturally they knew the Governor's whereabouts.

The guard outside the door paused for a moment, then said with some embarrassment, "Your Excellency has been detained by the Governor's Office for over two days..."

The governor's wife leaned weakly against the door. Was this a direct blow? The Mo Dudu Mansion had always looked down on Han Ping's behavior. They didn't know how much suffering he would have to endure this time, and whether he could come back alive.

The governor's wife covered her face with her hands, wanting to cry but unable to. The others in the room gathered around cautiously, unsure how to console her.

The sound of swords and arrows rang out outside the courtyard again. The governor's wife, who was immersed in worry and sadness, suddenly calmed down again. Her bloodshot eyes revealed undisguised sarcasm and disdain.

She said to the guards, "The assassins have been coming to us in waves, and you've been holding out for two days. If you delay for any longer, you'll inevitably be exhausted both physically and mentally, and there will be unnecessary casualties.

Find a way to tell the people sent by the Wu family that Han Ping is not at home and is being held in the Governor's Mansion."
