Shi Haowen and Guard Commander followed the seven turns and eight twists of the mountain road and walked a small distance. Finally, they arrived at a relatively flat valley.

The area that the valley occupied was not small. A campsite that could accommodate several hundred people was more than enough. Looking at the towering tents, the three of them had different emotions.

At this moment, Big Beard felt slightly relaxed and at ease. Having returned to the camp was like having returned home. After all, the people around him were all his comrades, giving him a comfortable feeling of security.

However, Shi Haowen was a little timid and worried in his heart. He was a man of the martial arts world and rarely joined large armies. Not to mention this kind of close proximity, he rarely even looked from afar. At this time, Shi Haowen, who had just walked into the camp, felt more like a charming little demon that had walked into the hall. Plus, he had previously offended that big bearded man, so who knows where he might get in his way!

As a result, fear and worry filled Shi Haowen's heart and made him look especially small and cowardly in this huge camp.

Guard Commander's expression was relaxed and at ease. He was once a member of the army, but because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to the position of the prince's personal guard. It was only until the Prince handed over the authority of the northern army and Situ Qingyun took over the northern defense that he finally followed the Prince back to his manor and was appointed as the captain of one of his small squads.

As such, the military camp was not unfamiliar to this Guard Commander. Instead, it gave him a sense of nostalgia and intimacy. However, the expression in his eyes as he secretly glanced at Shi Haowen, contained a bit of ridicule and ridicule, and even had a sense of schadenfreude.

From Guard Commander's point of view, this guy with a bad name had an even worse character. He had promised everything from the beginning to the end of the process, and then to the end. He was not qualified to be a servant. Of course, he could not easily say such words.

It was not that he had guessed the real identity of the bearded man ahead of time, but in this densely populated city, it was just that everyone's identity was hard to tell. It was possible that a beggar had disguised himself as a spy.

In this kind of situation, they should try their best to keep a low profile and keep a low profile, but this guy was good, leading a group of people to commit robbery. Luckily, they had gotten their own people into trouble, if so, it would not end so easily.

Of course, in the eyes of the Guard Commander, he really hoped that Shi Haowen could provoke some existence that he shouldn't have, and it would be best if he could throw away his life, and that would be the best.

The three of them passed through the camp and headed towards the center of the camp. Of course, he would be interrogated along the way, but since Big Beard was one of the generals' trusted aides, there was no one in the entire army who didn't know about it. Furthermore, these two strangers were people the general wanted to see so he allowed them to pass without delay.

Arriving at the main tent, the three of them stopped and indicated with their beards that they should wait for a moment. Then, they directly walked towards the inside of the tent. He first spoke to the personal guard outside the tent, then waited quietly for the general to summon him.

Not long later, the janissaries who were part of the group returned. After glancing at Shi Haowen and Guard Commander for a while, they opened their mouths and spoke to the big bearded man: "Everyone, please come in!"

"Thank you, brother! The two of you, please! " The big bearded man first cupped his hands in thanks to the janissaries that were part of the family, then waved his hands towards Shi Haowen and Yue Yang, making a 'please' gesture.

Walking into the large tent in the middle, although the arrangement inside was simple and generous, without the slightest hint of extravagance, it was extremely domineering. With regards to this kind of arrangement, the big bearded man did not have any feelings, the Guard Commander did not feel that anything was amiss, but Shi Haowen still subconsciously revealed a look of disappointment.

In his opinion, the price of five hundred thousand taels of silver could easily be allocated to this general. The amount of money involved was not small, so why did he have to live in poverty?

"If it was me, I would definitely make this place incomparably luxurious and find a group of beauties to serve me!" Shi Haowen thought.

But he didn't want to think about it. Even if a general really did live his life the way he wanted, he still needed money, right? The five hundred thousand silver taels that he had prepared to transport to this place had disappeared without a trace. Without money, eating was a problem. Where would he be able to think about those luxurious lives that he didn't have?

"Your subordinate pays his respects to the general!" Big Beard knelt on one knee, cupped his hands, and said to a man with an extraordinary bearing.

"You've worked hard these past few days, hurry and get up!" "Who are these two?" The middle-aged man in the lead smiled in a refined manner and then courteously spoke to the old horse before suspiciously asking about the identities of the other two.

It wasn't that they didn't know the other party's identity, but knowing it in private was one thing. At the very least, they had to ask him politely so that he wouldn't think they were investigating him. That way, wouldn't everyone look good?

"I am the Guard Commander of the Duke Palace, Fan Tian He! "Greetings, General!" Guard Commander knelt on one knee, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said.

"I am an envoy from the Duke Palace. Shi Haowen greets the general!" Shi Haowen also did the same, following the movements of the Guard Commander, of course the name and title would be changed.

"Get up!" The general said.

"Thank you, General!" The three of them replied in unison.

"Time is of the essence, I won't beat around the bush with the two of you. Where's the silver?" I heard from the side that all of you came here empty-handed. Is it not inconvenient to bring you out? Or are there other considerations? " The general went straight to the point.

"This ?" Shi Haowen didn't know how to reply, so he was stuttering. From time to time, he would glance towards Fan Tian, indicating for him to help him.

"There's no need to hesitate. Just come to me!" When the general saw this scene, he immediately knew that there must be a problem. With that, he opened his eyes wide and spoke to Shi Haowen in a clear voice.

"General, there was an accident on the way here. The silver was lost, but we know who did it!" Fan Tian He did not even look at Shi Haowen, but this time he had a part in taking care of the huge sum of money, so he could not escape, so he casually explained.

"What's going on? Quickly tell me!" The general did not have the time to care about Shi Haowen's small movements as he stared at Fan Tian He and asked.

Thus, after Fan Tian and the others arrived at Fengyang City, they were lucky enough to escape from the sudden siege of the victims after obtaining the silver.

On the way back, they encountered countless ambushes and traps, and even after a few risks, they were still unable to find the slightest trace of the enemy. It was not easy to bring the silver north, but of course, they skipped over the terrible incident in the village and directly told their plan of plotting an ambush on the other side.

The ambush went very smoothly, successfully attracting the enemy's gaze. Using a few dozen empty boxes, he smoothly faked the culprit, who was also from Blood Illusion Valley. Then, they pretended to retreat and lured the people of Blood Illusion Valley into a trap. They successfully annihilated the other party, and only one of them was able to escape.

However, when they returned to the camp, they discovered that the temporary camp had been looted and the guards had all died. Most importantly, the money that was buried here had disappeared without a trace.

"We conclude that the Blood Illusion Valley used a trick to lure the tiger out of the mountain and successfully took away the silver!" Fan Tian said in a shining voice.

"How are you so sure that the other party is from the Blood Illusion Valley?" The general pondered for a moment before asking.

"The one leading us is called Lu Baihuan, he is the protector of the Blood Illusion Valley, and the people we captured showed that they truly came from the Blood Illusion Valley!" Fan Tian He explained.

"What about those people?" the general asked urgently.

"We have all been killed. We have travelled a long distance. We are worried that there might be an accident on the way!" Shi Haowen said from the side, as though he had done the right thing. After all, killing the captives was his suggestion.

"Does that mean there's no proof of death?" The general asked impatiently.

Hearing the general's words, Shi Haowen once again calmed down. Fan Tian He glanced at Shi Haowen. Honestly speaking, he really didn't think much of this person, competing with effort for rewards and hiding without a trace. He did not have any intention to take responsibility, he was just a scum with white spots.

"That's not it, we left a woman, who is also from Blood Illusion Valley, Lu Baihuan's wife!" Fan Tian He explained.

"Female? "You must have let off some steam along the way, right?" The general asked in a teasing manner, but the sneer on his face didn't diminish in the slightest.

"Hehe ?" Shi Haowen actually did not understand the general's rebuttal, and laughed embarrassedly.

"I don't care about that. I only care about the whereabouts of the silver!" Go and bring me that woman, I want to ask her myself! " The general said with a cold expression.

The accuracy of the information was very important, no matter what kind of treatment the female prisoner received, as long as the information was true, he needed the female prisoner to personally say that the person who was coveting this huge sum of money was from the Blood Illusion Valley. Even if the money could not be taken back, he still knew who to take it from.

"Yes, General!" "However, that woman is currently in a brothel in the city. She hasn't come with us!" Fan Tian He immediately answered, but soon after, he opened his mouth to explain with an awkward expression.

"Brothel? Blood Illusion Valley is the wife of a dignified protector, what do you want her to do in the brothel? " The general asked in disbelief.

If this female captive was really that Lu Baihuan's wife, then her identity was definitely not ordinary, and this kind of high and mighty woman could actually lose face, and dare to do such a disgraceful thing? Isn't this too outrageous?

"Do what a woman should do! What do you think we should do if the woman is there? " Shi Haowen said to the general with a cheap smile.

"Haha, you are indeed vicious. However, you guys can't escape the guilt of losing your money!" The general looked at Shi Haowen's sullen face and mocked him. However, his tone immediately changed and he spoke indifferently.
