Zhang Qingzhu followed Xiang Hao's words and asked, "Is Taolin County going to hold a big event? Why didn't I receive any news, and Brother Qingsong didn't come to tell me."

Xiang Hao listened to Zhang Qingzhu's words and replied, "There is nothing important in the county. All the people who came recently are heading to the mountains. I came here to tell you about the arrangements for Wang Ming's group."

Zhang Qingzhu looked at Xiang Hao with some doubts. Did Wang Ming and the others do something again? Didn't she arrange for Zhang Qingsong to look after them? Why didn't Zhang Qingsong come to see her, but Xiang Hao did?

I thought so in my heart, but I said, "Why didn't I receive any notification about Wang Ming and his team's arrangements, but you were notified instead?"

After hearing what she said, Xiang Hao took out a document and handed it to Zhang Qingzhu, saying, "It seems that we haven't had time to contact you yet. This is the protection list sent by our military. All seven people in Wang Ming's group have been replaced."

Zhang Qingzhu looked at the names on the list, memorized them, and returned them to Xiang Hao. Zhang Qingzhu found that there were thirteen names on the list this time, which was almost twice the number of people before.

She now had reason to suspect that Wang Ming and Zhang Qingfeng's fight on the mountain was premeditated. In each of the three waves of people, there were insiders, and the ultimate goal was to replace these people

She, Zhang Qingzhu, was actually not important. No matter what she did, these people would be replaced. Her actions on the mountain exposed her strength and made her enter the sight of the people behind them.

After thinking about this, Zhang Qingzhu glanced at Xiang Hao beside her. She felt that this person must be one of the insiders, but he did not tell her the calculations.

I just don't know if Zhang Qingfeng is also an insider, after all, he is one of the central figures in this fight. If he knows, why didn't he tell her, and what is his purpose.

Zhang Qingzhu was a little irritated now, she felt like she was being schemed. This feeling of being out of control made her instinctively wary of the people around her.

She felt the danger approaching before she came to Zhangjiapo Brigade. But at that time, the dangerous places were Shanghai and Beijing. Zhangjiapo Brigade did not make her feel uneasy. After she came, her life was very plain without too many twists and turns.

Even now, she didn't feel that she was in danger. But when she thought of Shanghai and Beijing, she still felt palpitations. Could it be that someone in Shanghai and Beijing was plotting against her? Otherwise, why would she have such a feeling?

Although Zhang Qingzhu thought about it a lot, he looked calm. He raised his hand to pick up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said to Xiang Hao, "I didn't expect that seven people left and thirteen came. It seems that I need to ask you to add more people."

Xiang Hao nodded and said, "The higher-ups have sent a lot of reinforcements to our team. Now we not only have to protect the safety of your Chinese herbal medicine research team, but also ensure the stability of Taolin County. We don't have enough manpower right now."

Zhang Qingzhu didn't comment on this, but changed the subject, saying, "You came at the right time. I was thinking of going to the mountains to pick some herbs. Now is the best time to pick some herbs. The herbs I liked in the mountains can be picked now."

Xiang Hao heard this and immediately felt that she and Zhang Qingzhu had a tacit understanding. He was just about to find a reason to be alone with Zhang Qingzhu, and Zhang Qingzhu found a suitable reason.

So he said to Zhang Qingzhu: "When are we going to leave? I don't have anything to deal with for the time being, so I can accompany you for a few days."

Zhang Qingzhu said without thinking: "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. I'll go pack some things for the mountain, and then we'll set off. You can get anything you need at my house. Everything is in the warehouse, come with me and pick it out yourself."

Zhang Qingzhu said, and then he stood up and walked towards the warehouse. Xiang Hao followed him and said, "Then I won't be polite with you. When I came here this time, I didn't expect you to go up the mountain, so I didn't prepare anything."

As they talked, the two walked into Zhang Qingzhu's storehouse together. After a while, they came out, each carrying a large backpack.

Zhang Qingzhu said to Feng Chong, "Uncle Feng, I'm going to stay in the mountains for a few days. When cousin Yanhua comes back, tell him that I'll be back in a few days and he doesn't need to worry. I'll leave the house to you two to take care of. If anyone comes to look for me, just tell them I'm not here."

After hearing what Zhang Qingzhu said, Feng Chong wanted Zhang Qingzhu to stay at home and not go anywhere, but he couldn't say it. Now he and the young master were staying at the cousin's house, and they had no reason to interfere with the cousin's decision.

Finally, Feng Chong could only say respectfully: "I've made note of this. I'll pass it on when the young master comes back. I'd like to trouble Master Xiang Hao to protect my cousin."

After listening to Feng Chong's words, Xiang Hao had already made a rough guess about Feng Chong's identity. He nodded to Feng Chong and said, "Don't worry, it is my duty to protect Comrade Zhang Qingzhu's safety, and I will complete my task well."

Feng Chong felt relieved when he saw that the extremely talented Sixth Young Master of the Xiang family was protecting Zhang Qingzhu. Zhang Qingzhu and Xiang Hao left the courtyard without any burden and walked towards the mountains.

At first, the two of them walked slowly and talked about some interesting things that happened recently in Zhangxuepo Brigade, such as the youngest son of a certain family fell in love with a certain female educated youth, and the female educated youth ended up falling in love with her uncle

But his uncle had really taken a fancy to the beauty queen in their village and was actively pursuing her. Originally, his uncle was about to fail because the beauty queen didn't like his uncle. But with the help of the female educated youth, his uncle finally got the beauty.

And there are interesting gossips such as the youngest son of a certain family, after seeing what a certain educated youth did, his filter fell apart and he immediately got engaged to the person introduced by his mother.

The Feng family guards who were following behind them were speechless. They didn't expect that the genius of the Xiang family could discuss such boring gossip with her cousin.

When the Feng family guards saw Zhang Qingzhu and Xiang Hao walking slowly, as if they were out for a picnic and chatting about useless gossip, their vigilance gradually dropped.

When Zhang Qingzhu and Xiang Hao walked not far from the deep mountains, they quickened their pace while gossiping. As they sped up, the Feng family guards did not react.

When the voices of Zhang Qingfeng and Xiang Hao disappeared, the Feng family guards went to look for them and found that he had lost them. They panicked. He was following the orders of the head of the Feng family to protect the cousin, but he lost her. What should he do?

He quickly searched the nearby area to see if the two had left any traces, but found nothing. He completely lost track of Zhang Qingzhu and Xiang Hao.
