Volume 1, Act 1, "Finding the Father" Chapter 11: The Raid After Safety
Quang Binh Province, an area that is relatively close to the Imperial City, although it is not as prosperous, beautiful, and varied as the Imperial City, it also has its own things.
Guan Jie is a person who has received a good education since he was a child, and joined the team of the Houjun Governor very early, and followed General Yu Qian to fight everywhere, and finally got a civilian position, which is now Lord Yin of the Prefect's Mansion.
He also has thousands of troops and horses in his hands, and his forehead is ......
Ten armies and one hundred horses, it is an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of armies.
In the past 20 years that he has managed Quang Binh Mansion, he has made great contributions to the people, and it can be called the most peaceful area in Zhili Prefecture, and he is not a problem for treating every corrupt official, bully and thief.
And with multiple identities, he has also won the respect of many people at the same level.
On the morning of May 17, 1481 A.D.
He is not busy with work for the time being, and is writing in the study outside the room.
Even if the words are written smoothly, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, or the strength penetrates the back of the paper, and the clouds and the dragon, it will not break his habit of getting up every morning to practice calligraphy.
It looks so vivid, imposing and strong.
"Teacher?"
A personable, learner-like man walked in, showing his respect for the teacher, and called the teacher softly, with a tone of doubt and interruption.
He showed his head and looked.
Seeing that Guan Jie was writing his poems with a brush, every stroke of ink would have the strength and feeling of water drops and stones.
Guan Jie nodded slightly, and he came in.
"Greetings to the teacher!" , he knelt down in front of Guan Jie.
It's like an apprentice asking for peace to the master, a child asking for peace to the parents, and he asking for peace to the teacher Guan Jie.
After getting up, he walked to Guan Jie's side, served him tea and water, and learned the teacher's writing.
"Student?" , Guan Jie shouted.
The student standing beside him bowed slightly. He said, "The students are here! βγ
"Any news?"
Guan Jie didn't look up, and continued to write, just asking about this important matter by the way, there was a feeling of being single-minded and using it extremely powerfully.
The student didn't answer immediately, biting his lip behind Guan Jie's back, feeling that it was difficult to speak, he walked up to Guan Jie and took a deep breath.
"Back to the teacher, the first thing is that the magistrate of Wei County was killed, and the murderer has not been found."
"The second thing is ......", gritting his teeth even more unspeakably, and the tension came directly to his heart. It is... According to the news from the flying pigeon, your son Jue Gongzi poisoned an elderly mother. β
"The third thing is that the Yun Yu you sent out to find was hunted down by many unknown assassins last night." , I thought he was done here. But......
"By the way, Yun Yu has a little girl by her side who has killed many people for her."
"But it's all safe on the road, no problem.".
The student was very nervous to report the situation, he frowned tightly, lowered his head, and did not dare to look into the teacher's eyes, because these mistakes were all the teacher's sons.
Guan Jie also finished writing at this time, and the students also finished reporting.
The student saw that he was clapping his hands, and he made a sound, and shrugged his shoulders, and his neck moved from side to side, and he also made a sound, thinking that the teacher was going to make up for himself, but Guan Jie leaned against the table.
Showing a serious, dignified, and leadership temperament, he began to talk to the students in a teaching tone.
"You are my student, you can be said to be one of the people I trust the most, I can let you deal with these things, it is my tolerance to you, for these three things, you don't know where you are wrong, now I will tell you.".
Guan Jie frowned, stared, and looked irritable, but he had to teach and talk to the student about his fault. The students also stood in front of Guan Jie and listened honestly to what Guan Jie had to say.
"First, I ordered someone to kill the magistrate of Wei County, and you also know my relationship with the Ten Thousand Thorns Alliance, why did you kill him, I think you should understand."
"Second, you said that Jue'er killed an elderly mother, it's his fault, and I haven't spread the news yet, because he is my son."
"Third, two women, one is my daughter, and the other doesn't know who it is, I didn't know this news in advance, you reported it right.".
After saying these three things, Guan Jie walked slowly in front of the student, put his right hand on his shoulder, and his eyes were slightly terrifying, but the student was not afraid, just stood there.
"Student, there is only one important thing you have reported to me, and there is no need for you to tell me the other two. So...... When you report the news to me later, understand? βγ
After listening to this, the students did not feel frightened or surprised, but answered the teacher's questions as they were, as if they were standing in a military posture. "Understood, I will definitely filter useful news and report to you in the future.".
"Alright, you can go down." , Guan Jie looked at the student's sincere appearance and felt that he should understand.
The student walked away and closed the door. At this time, Guan Jie was left alone in and around the room, and he sat down on the chair behind the desk and sighed deeply. Say, "Come out!" βγ
A masked spy came out from behind him, clasping his fists and talking to the lord.
"You go, take the body of the old mother that Jue'er killed, inform the details of where to do it, solve it, and don't let others find her." , Guan Jue said this sentence with difficulty and felt deeply guilty.
Spy is a very dangerous profession, every yamen has it, they can only obey the orders of the lord, and they have no right to ask questions.
However, the spy asked Guan Jie. He said, "My lord? What are you? He understands the relationship between his younger brother Jue'er and Guan Jie, he is a principled spy, he killed an old mother by himself, as the prefect of the Mansion, Lord Yin, he wants to do this, he has to ask anyway.
"Hey!!!!"
Guan Jie closed his eyes tightly, lay on the chair, and his extremely sad tone emanated. "He's my child after all, can I watch him get arrested and interrogate him myself? Am I worthy of his mother? βγ
When this spy heard this, under the mask, he understood Guan Jie's mind and felt it deeply. "Rest assured, my lord, I will definitely bring the words.".
After clasping his fists and saluting, he jumped out of the window.
At this time......
In the room, in the courtyard, and around the house, Guan Jie was really the only one left, and he could finally talk to himself.
"Son, this is the last time I'll wipe your ass." , swallowed a mouthful of saliva that had no positive taste, and lay down as if he was very sleepy, weak, and even weaker in his heart.
"You actually killed your stepmother, and now you want to kill your sister, is it me next? Ha ha? With a forced laugh, he closed his eyes again, ready to faint.
"How did I raise such a bastard as you." , lay down in a chair and fell asleep.
Before noon on the 17thβ
The two sisters, Yun Yu and Jin Ruo, have come to the junction city of the Yongnian Capital City and are leading their horses to walk at the border.
Jinruo's performance now is much better than before. Yun Yu was on the left side of the horse, walking on the horse's head, touching the horse's face while walking upside down.
"Sister?" , she exclaimed. "Don't you think there's something wrong with your mother?". Jin Ruo suddenly mentioned this, which made Yun Yu feel very surprised and surprised.
There was still some sadness, but I mustered up a courageous answer. "What's wrong with this, my mother is still my mother, it's just that she's no longer alive." After speaking, he looked at Jin Ruo in front of him and smiled bitterly.
When she reacted to why Jin Ruo asked like this. She asked, "Why did my sister say that?" βγ
Jin Ruo tilted her head and ran to Yun Yu's side, the hand on her right hand that was not leading the horse, holding her arm, as if she wanted to say something cute.
"For so many days, my sister didn't think of who killed our mother." , Jin Ruo fully demonstrated her observation and reasoning skills, for the analysis and judgment of events, she must have a direction in her heart.
After hearing Jin Ruo's remarks, she took a deep breath. Then he sighed and said: "Why haven't I thought about it, I think about it all the time, but the only thing we have in our hands is this dagger, and there is nothing else." βγ
"I can only go to my hometown according to the clues given by my mother, but according to the instructions on the letter, follow the arrangement of that person.γ
Yun Yu was bitter and happy, and her heart was impatient, but she could only search powerlessly, but the person who connected with her was Guan Jie, Yun Yu's stepfather, a father who had not seen him for more than ten years, every time he was at the dinner table, Yun Yu was thinking about him.
Jin Ruo watched as her sister put the dagger back on her waist and continued to lead the horse forward.
"I always feel that my mother has something to hide from you, and it has something to do with those killers, it is impossible to die in the hands of our mother, there must be fish caught in the net." , Jin Ruo was anxious to think, but he could only think of this.
But Jin Ruo just didn't give up, still thinking about the connection of all this, and began to mumble quietly on the side.
"According to what my sister said before, on the day my mother died, my sister went on a mission, why is it so coincidental that the alliance leader will send a task to my sister."
Finally, after talking to herself and analyzing quietly all the way, she had an eyebrow and came to a conclusion, that is. "Our mother must have something to do with the alliance leader Yu Thorn."
"Ah!!h , Jin Ruo's voice.
scared Yun Yu, thinking that something had happened to Jin Ruo, but the result was that he scared himself, and Jin Ruo had nothing to do.
"Sister, I know where we should start, let's go to the alliance leader, our mother must have something to do with the alliance leader."
Jin Ruo's hand was dragging his chin, his ten fingers touched his face, his thumb dragged his chin, his eyes widened and he tilted his head to look at his sister next to him, and said to her, with a look of joy that lifted the truth of the incident.
"My sister is amazing!" , Yun Yu understood what Jin Ruo meant by what he said with a flick of his fingers, and also understood why he went to find the alliance leader. "When we finish following this clue first, I'll take you to the alliance leader Yu Thorn and ask for clarification."
But......
In Yun Yu's heart, there is not only one possibility that Jin Ruo reasoned.
Deep down, she thought, "The alliance leader actually asked me to carry out the mission at that time. The killers who killed my mother are all in the alliance, so they shouldn't be ......."
That's right, she suspected that the alliance leader she had always believed in allegiance sent someone to kill her mother, but this was already halfway said in her heart, so she didn't dare to continue, because the only thing she trusted was the alliance leader except for her mother, father, brother and Jinruo.
However, the leader of the alliance is her mother.
Originally, the two sisters wanted to rush to the Yongnian Capital before dark, but because they were tired, they got tired after taking a lead, and they got tired again after running for a while. However, at this time, it happened to be in a small jungle, and I don't know how many crises are hidden everywhere.
It's deserted, and the night is getting dark, and it's very dangerous to travel at night, not to mention such a horse.
They found a deserted house, a large room, a door in the middle, and a burned fire inside, it seemed that someone had spent the night here, Yun Yu's eyes circled around.
"Sister?" , she exclaimed.
Jin Ruo ran over and looked at her sister. Replies: "What's wrong?" βγ
"It's getting late, why don't we rest here, or I'll keep vigil and try not to happen tonight."
As the well-behaved and sensible Jinruo nodded, they tied the horses to the big tree in the courtyard, found some food for the horses to eat, and found a lot of firewood, put it in the house, and began to make a fire to keep warm and light.
"Sister, why don't we make a trap around the room, the kind that will ring if someone comes, and then we can rest?"
After putting the firewood, Jinruo stood up and walked around the room, and found that she could put some traps, so she took out her own bell and handed it to her sister, and came up with such a good idea.
In this way, the two sisters really spent the night peacefully, and nothing happened, not even a beast that delivered food.
Yun Yu was the first to wake up and found that the sky was not completely bright, and she wanted to take a breath of fresh air in the early morning.
Suddenly!
She heard some commotion and watched outside, someone was coming, and it was a killer, armed with a bow and sword.
An arrow almost hit Jinruo, but this was an arrow that wanted to shoot Yunyu, and Jinruo woke up suddenly.
"Jinruo quickly hide and protect yourself.".
