No matter the reason for his incident, it proves that something major is happening in Wuyuan, which is why Xia Chuan is rushing to Wuyuan at this moment.

"I hope Wuyuan isn't in trouble; the worst scenario is that Dajue Temple has discovered the Baiyang and Wuyuan stations!"

Xia Chuan's expression was somber as he sped along the path.

......

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Don't you know what kind of person Big Brother is? In all these years, has he ever done anything he wasn't sure about?"

At the Great Xia Wuyuan station, the main hall of the main building, Hong Qiaoru is sitting on the side chair, head bowed, tears falling. Two boys, about four or five years old, stand on either side of her legs, continuously wiping her tears.

Xu An holds his little niece Xu Ying, although he comforts her verbally, his eyes also show deep worry, obviously he is also very concerned about his Big Brother Xu Ning.

"It's been eight days, and he hasn't returned; something must have happened. Brother-in-law, Qinghepu feels so eerie and abnormal, you must take people to rescue your Big Brother!"

Hearing his sister-in-law's words, a hint of hesitation immediately appeared on Xu An's face.

He too worries about his big brother's safety, but the exploration of Qinghepu was arranged single-handedly by Xu Ning, and currently there hasn't been any definite news coming back. If he rashly takes people there, it won't help; instead, it's highly likely to expose Great Xia's situation, which is certainly not viable.

"Sister-in-law, calm down, you also know..."

"What a courage, daring to intrude into the Wuyuan Government Office, ah... Greetings, Minister!"

Just as Xu An was about to speak to persuade his sister-in-law to calm down, suddenly the voice of the guard outside the hall interrupted him. After hearing the guard's latter sentence, his expression froze, and he hurriedly handed his little niece to his sister-in-law, just as he was about to turn and walk outside the hall, he saw the frantic Minister Xia Chuan come in from outside the hall.

"The Director of the Wuyuan Civil Affairs Bureau, Xu Ning, pays respect to the Minister!"

"Madam Hong Qiaoru, pays respect to the Minister."

Seeing Xia Chuan arriving personally, even Hong Qiaoru on the chair immediately stood up holding her little daughter, bowed with her two sons to greet him.

"No need for formalities, is Xu Ning still in Lower River Village?"

Xia Chuan was extremely anxious at this moment. Upon entering the Wuyuan Territory and detecting that nothing unexpected had occurred in Wuyuan, he immediately confirmed that something must have gone wrong with Xu Ning, who was lurking over at Qinghepu.

The plan of Xu Ning going to Qinghepu to lurk was known to Xia Chuan; thus, at this moment he directly inquired Xu An, whether Xu Ning was still in Lower River Village or not.

Hong Qiaoru had already returned, and Xu An at this moment was naturally fully aware. Seeing Xia Chuan's anxious expression, he too realized that something must have gone wrong with his big brother, and hastily reported all the news Hong Qiaoru had brought back.

Upon learning that Xu Ning ventured alone to explore the situation at Qinghe Village's Dajue Temple, Xia Chuan's expression instantly became grim.

"Minister, has my big brother gotten into trouble?"

Hearing Xu An's question, Hong Qiaoru also looked up nervously, including Xu Ning's two little sons beside her, they also looked up nervously at Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan turned to look at the mother and sons trio, his expression slightly paused, then without saying much, he directly spoke to Xu An: "Xu An, run to Baiyang with me, let's set off now, go!"

Xu An clearly realized something, and without saying much, he picked up his saber and followed behind Xia Chuan, exiting the main hall.

Of course, before going out, he didn't forget to remind Hong Qiaoru behind him.

"Sister-in-law, you take Xiao'an and the other three to stay here well; I will definitely bring Big Brother back."

Just when Xia Chuan rushed in, Hong Qiaoru faintly felt something was amiss. Now hearing her brother-in-law's words, how could she not understand? Immediately, she held her little daughter and cried her heart out.

"Mom, mom, don't cry."

"Father is so mighty, he'll definitely be okay, mom, don't cry."

Five-year-old Xu Ping, three-year-old Xu An, seeing their mother crying so sorrowfully, immediately moved forward to softly comfort her, but since they were also quite young, infected by their mother's cries, they soon began crying quietly too.

.........

"Xu Ning has gotten into trouble, here is his Ancestral Spirit Tablet!"

East of Wuyuan, Xia Chuan was speeding along, seeing that Xu An was struggling to keep up, he immediately slowed down, after a moment of silence, he took out the Ancestral Spirit Tablet from his bosom and handed it to Xu An.

Although he had a lot of mental preparations before setting out, seeing Xu Ning's Ancestral Spirit Tablet with its dim glow in person, realizing his big brother is really in trouble, Xu An's expression still tensed up instantly.

"The dim glow of the Ancestral Spirit Tablet points to the east; most likely the incident occurred at Qinghepu. Let's first go to Baiyang to find Chen Ying, to understand the specific situation of Qinghepu, and then decide how to rescue Xu Ning."

Baiyang was a newly established small station last year, and it was the most eastern territory of the Great Xia on the North Shore of the Xing River, closest to Qinghepu. Chen Ying is the current Baiyang Garrison Commander and knows about Qinghepu second only to Xu Ning. To set out to rescue someone at Qinghepu, naturally one must first find Chen Ying to understand the situation.

Xu An nodded solemnly, eyes full of worry, quickening his steps even more.

Their speed was very fast, and within a dozen minutes, they arrived at the Baiyang station.

"Baiyang Garrison Commander, pays respect to Minister, Lord Xu!"

Seeing Xia Chuan and Xu An coming together, Chen Ying was evidently quite surprised.

Xia Chuan didn't bother to chatter with him and directly took out Xu Ning's Ancestral Spirit Tablet, just about to explain the situation to him, suddenly his expression froze.
