They didn’t even need to send someone to sneak into the southern camp to know that Xue Heng was Xue Sanfu.

Marquis Ji had only sent two people. After learning that Xue Heng was Xue Sanfu in Pingan Town, one went to the camp to see if he could inquire about Xue Sanfu, while the other went to Locust Village to inquire about him.

The people in the town only knew that he was from Locust Village and what his name was. They could not find out more.

The person who came to Locust Village had never been to Locust Village

before, so he asked for directions along the way.

Someone pointed the way directly. Someone not only pointed the way enthusiastically, but also asked him enthusiastically, “Hey, why are you going to Locust Village?

This person saw that the person in front of him was an honest and daft farmer. If he knew Xue Sanfu, he might be able to get some information. He smiled and said, “I’m going to find someone called Xue Sanfu. Do you happen to know him?”

“I know him! He’s very good at fighting and has never lost. There’s no village in the ten miles that doesn’t know him! I also know all of their family members!

“The last time their family washed sweet potato starch, my son and I were hired to help their family do some work for a few days. They paid us back then. They’re all very nice people.

“In our eight villages, many people have work to do because their family needs to hire people from time to time. His family hired my son to build a house one time as well.

“My family’s life is much better than last year. Everyone is very grateful to their family.”

This person didn’t know what sweet potato starch this farmer was talking about. He wasn’t curious either. He just smiled politely and asked, “I see, did you know that Xue Sanfu went to join the army?

“So I heard. A few days ago, I heard that his parents had arranged a marriage for him with a girl in town. When he comes back from the military camp one day, he will marry that girl.”

This person knew all this, so he asked, “So is there anything special about Xue Sanfu?”

“You don’t know about Sanfu!” The farmer finally noticed. He wasn’t too st*pid. “Why are you asking so many questions about this?”

This person immediately lied, “It’s because of my brother. I used to work with him. Now, my brother has a job and I want to find someone like Xue Sanfu for help. My brother only urged me to come and look for him. He said that he was in Locust Village and his name was Xue Sanfu. He didn’t tell me the details. I asked around and found out that Xue Sanfu had joined the army. However, I’m afraid that others will lie to me, so I still want to go to his house in Locust Village to take a look. If he really joined the army, I’ll tell his family about it. It can be considered as fulfilling my brother’s instructions.”

After all, farmers were known to not be calculative. When he heard this person say so, he believed him and smiled. “I see. There’s nothing special about him. Other than fighting, he’s tall and strong, and he’s especially good at physical labor. I guess that’s why your brother asked you to look for him. Since you’re here, you should go to Locust Village. Locust Village isn’t far away. He really went to the army. No one lied to you.”

“Thank you,” Afraid of being exposed, this person did not ask further.

When he reached Locust Village, he would ask someone else.

“You’re welcome.” The middle-aged man smiled with his white teeth.

This person cursed in his heart, ‘What an id*ot.’ Only then did he continue to walk towards Locust Village.

When he arrived at Locust Village, he saw a young farmer and called out to him, “Hello, do you know where Xue Sanfu’s house is?
