Volume 1 Departure Chapter 17 Restoration and Danger
Sun Dushou hurriedly rushed to the door of the governor's mansion, only to see a young man in white, holding a folding fan and knocking on his palms rhythmically, staring at the plaque on the door as if he was tasting something, and behind him stood a man dressed as a son, with his head down and a face, his face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water, and at the end were two people standing side by side respectfully, one was thin and tall, and the other was a tiger's back, forming a strong sense of contrast.
"I don't know if the general is coming, and the lower officials are missing the distance, I hope you will forgive me, forgive me. Sun Dushou hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile.
Ouyang Lou relieved himself at this time, smiled and tapped Sun Dushou with a folding fan. "It's okay, it's okay, General Ben is traveling on the orders of his father this time, and the second is to visit friends, so he came a little abruptly. ”
Ouyang Lou's words were self-paving, and they also hit Sun Dushou's mind of wanting to find out.
"Please!" Although Sun Dushou was full of doubts about Ouyang Lou's words, he still turned sideways and invited them into the mansion.
In the lobby, the waiter brought tea to him, and Ouyang Lou took two sips. "The fragrance is long, sweet and bitter, and it is really good tea. ”
"It's home-grown, and if the general likes it, I'll give it to the general. ”
Ouyang Lou smiled. "Then you're welcome!"
"It's an honor and an honor for the general to be able to like it, and it's an honor for this tea. ”
Ouyang Lou closed the folding fan, looked at Sun Dushou and said with a smile: "This time I came because my third brother had some misunderstanding with Ling Qianjin before, and it was really unreasonable to shoot on the street, and it was also my brother's fault for not restraining him, so I specially brought him to ask Lord Inspector for guilt." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the boy who was sitting in the lower seat, and said with a smile: "Not yet!"
Although Ouyang Lou still had the same smile on his face, the boy's body was obviously trembling slightly, as if he had seen something terrible, and with a face full of reluctance, he walked over resignedly. Then he respectfully clasped his fists and bowed at 90 degrees.
Sun Dushou hurriedly stood up, bowed his head and returned with his hands: "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare you be such a big gift as the third son, it's also the little girl who did something wrong, it's me who doesn't discipline it well." ”
Ouyang Lou also got up and said, "It's my bad brother who is not good, and I will also apologize to Lord Inspector here!"
This time is also a concession to Sun Dushou, and it is also enough face for Dushou, and at the same time, he has resolved the previous misunderstanding without missing a bit, he knows that he still needs the old man in front of him.
This time, Sun Dushou was even more panicked. "I can't help it, the subordinate can afford the general's salute so much. ”
Ouyang Lou glanced at the boy, and he honestly returned to his seat. Then he reached out with both hands to help Sun Dushou up. "Don't be surprised. ”
Sun Dushou wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead. "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. ”
At this time, a guard walked in, and when he saw everyone, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Sun Dushou and stopped talking.
Sun Dushou waved his hand. "It's okay, what's the matter?"
"There have been a lot of adventurers and mercenaries from all over the city recently, and a few people from other lands are making trouble, so I have people surround them, and I don't know how to send them down?"
Sun Dushou looked at Ouyang Lou who was sitting on the side, and Ouyang Lou was just holding a teacup and sipping tea.
"Arrest them, detain them for a few days, and then send them out of the city, and they will not be allowed to enter the city again. ”
The guard arched his hand and said, "Yes!" and then turned and walked out.
"I wonder what the general thinks of the dismissal?"
Ouyang Lou raised his head and looked at Sun Dushou with a smile: "Yes, but I'm afraid that if this power doesn't stand, there will be trouble in the future." ”
"That~"
Ouyang Lou put down the white porcelain teacup in his hand, and at this time, the strong man standing next to the next seat immediately understood and said, "Take the order." Then he strode out.
Ouyang Lou snapped and opened the white-faced folding fan. "I also said before that I was visiting a friend, but I don't know if a chief guard named Chen Zimo is in the house?"
Sun Dushou was stunned. "He, he's just gone out of the city on a business trip, and he won't be back in a few days. ”
"Looks like I'm here at the wrong time!" smiled and nodded.
"I wonder how the general met this person?"
"Old acquaintances, old acquaintances!" he said, and drank all the tea in his cup. "The overseer is busy with official business, so I won't bother, and he will come back to visit him in the future. ”
Seeing Ouyang Lou stand up and walk towards the door, Sun Dushou also stood up.
"One more thing, I wonder if the Overseer knows where that thing is now?"
Sun Dushou was stunned. "I wonder what the general is talking about?"
"What Your Majesty wants!" Ouyang Lou shook the folding fan gently, and the wind of the folding fan gently blew the bun on his temples.
"This, didn't the government report that the team escorting the treasure was missing?"
"Oh, I searched all the way, the mine where the treasure was found before I landed, and it happened that the workers who had seen the treasure were all dead, and the other people who had seen it were either missing or crazy, you said strange or not, okay, don't bother Lord Inspector, I take my leave, no need to send it!"
Watching the three of them leave, Sun Dushou sat on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart: This person is really unusual, although he has a gentle smile, but it is an invisible pressure that makes people breathless.
The last words about the treasure made him probably guess the true meaning of Ouyang Lou, but for such a secret matter, His Majesty had already sent the Good King to be responsible, how did the Fu King know, and what did it mean to send Ouyang Lou to investigate this matter?
Sun Dushou took a sip of tea slowly, he thought of Ouyang Lou's words again, came to visit Chen Zimo, he knew Ouyang Lou so well, and soon he remembered that a few days ago he asked where he had disappeared during the period from falling off the cliff to returning to the city, he didn't want to say more, and now he thought that it was probably with Ouyang Lou, so why didn't he want to say.
Did he know something? He also secretly sighed that it was Ouyang Lou, who had been taking the lead in every word since he entered the mansion, and his words did not leak.
And Ouyang Lou was happy, because the effect he wanted to achieve had also been achieved.
In front of the tavern, a group of guards surrounded the three middle-aged people, and there were several guards lying on the ground with their chests covered with pain on their faces.
At this time, one of the guards ran up. "Hurry up and get caught, there is still some life!"
"If you have the courage, let the horse come, we want to see how you are a soldier in Huazhou?"
At this time, one of them sneered: "What nonsense, let's go and see who can keep us!"
But before he had taken a few steps, a man with a strong back pushed through the crowd and walked slowly in front of the three men, blocking their way, without saying a word.
"Get out!" As soon as one of them said the word, he saw the big man grab the man's hair and kick him in the chest, and the man fell to his knees on the spot.
"You~you~" Then he actually died.
The other two were furious, and they thought that the big man would attack, but the big man's move was even more ferocious, one by one he grabbed their necks, and with all the twists, the two of them also lost their breath, everything was so simple and easy, like killing a chicken and slaughtering a sheep.
Dahan threw down the two and looked around, as if they were looking for something, and the people around were swept away by Dahan, and everyone shuddered, and they all took a big step back unconsciously.
The big man shook his head helplessly, grabbed a person, grabbed the hair with one hand and grabbed the shoulder with the other, only to see him pull hard, and the head was separated from the body, and then continued to do the same, until the heads of the other two people were removed, as if those were not people who were kneading the dough, at this time some people in the surrounding crowd had already vomited, eager to vomit out the bitter gall, these people had never seen such a scene.
The big man carried three heads and walked towards the governor's mansion.
The guards could only follow this big man and didn't dare to move, and Jiang Linliang in the crowd watched this one quietly, put away the talisman in his hand that was ready to be triggered, and turned to leave.
In the Governor's Mansion, Sun Dushou looked at the three heads placed in front of him, and after a while, he wrote a note and handed it to a guard, and the guard also hurried out of the city and galloped towards the west outside the city.
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Zimo, who had rested, and his team rushed to Linjia Village.
A small river flows through the village outside the village, and in the spring breeze, flocks of butterflies flutter on the wildflower-covered meadows beside the riverbank, and they carry baskets in the fields not far away. The village had been woken up in the early morning by busy people, and the people of the village did not feel strange in the face of these strangers who suddenly arrived in the village, but gave people a sense of habituality.
According to the instructions of the secret guard, Chen Zimo asked an old man about the location of the ancestral hall in the village.
The old man pointed in one direction, then bowed his head and left, not even turning his head when Chen Zimo thanked him, as if avoiding the plague god.
"I feel that something is wrong!" Uncle Wang leaned up and whispered to Chen Zimo.
Chen Zimo nodded. "Let everyone be careful. ”
The ancestral hall of Linjia Village is in the westernmost part of the village, Chen Zimo and they walked through the whole village before they came to the door of the ancestral hall, he took the lead in pushing the door and walked in, Uncle Wang followed behind him, and the rest of the people were waiting outside the door.
"Anyone?"
A child ran out of the next room and said to Chen Zimo, "Who are you looking for?"
"Have you seen a group of people in armor lately?"
The child thought for a moment and suddenly pointed behind them. "Are you talking about them?"
As soon as Chen Zimo turned his head, he saw an Uncle Wang standing behind him sweeping away with a plate axe in his hand, and as soon as he turned around, he saw that the child's head was carried out by the inertial force of the axe, and the body was still standing in place, and the arm that the child was pointing to fell out of the sleeve.
Although Chen Zimo was already accustomed to seeing blood, and the fishy smell was even more familiar to him, he was still stunned by the scene in front of him, it was still a child, an ordinary country child, and suddenly a disgusting feeling kept churning from his stomach.
There was a sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air outside the door, and several swishing sharp arrows shot on the wooden pillar beside Chen Zimo, which was the person guarding the door was also caught off guard at this time, one person died on the spot, and several people were also injured, they retreated to the ancestral hall, quickly closed the door, and snapped a few arrows on the door panel.
"Captain, we're in ambush!"
