Chapter 503: Counting is Counting

Yi Chu has been dormant for too long, so long that he has almost forgotten their existence in the Seven Kingdoms of the Nine Abysses. There are still dozens of princes eyeing the forces, and the current situation is already precarious. If it weren't for that, why did the lord of Yichu send an envoy to the capital of the Later Tang Dynasty, wanting to exchange the "Secret Collection of Beast Bones" for the "good of Qin and Jin"?

A few years before the envoy departed, he had secretly sent a secret envoy to lurk in the Later Tang Dynasty, waiting for an opportunity to move. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and the lord of the country, Li Cunmiao, has long been intolerant of Longshou County Ran Qi, and with such a relict of the Tang Dynasty, he will always feel embarrassed.

After going around and around, the envoy of Yichu finally lost the "Secret Treasure of Beast Bones", and was involved in the chaos in Luoyang, almost losing his life. After escaping, he followed all the way and threw himself into dire straits. In the end, they still returned to Longshou County, and wanted to use this force that dared to argue with the Later Tang Dynasty to fulfill their ambition of planning for many years.

This may also be the wish of the county keeper, but after many years of mutual affection, I don't know how much this wish can remain. But Ran Qi knew that whenever the sun set, Madame would always push the window to wish, and only sighed softly until the afterglow of the sunset returned to darkness. The place that looks far away seems to be untouchable, and can only be buried in the heart.

He was not without doubts, but he did not pursue it. This is a secret that belongs to a person, and if a person does not have a secret, then how can his life be complete?

Ran Qi stood in the middle of the field, lowering his eyes, and a little tears appeared. The cold woman was also slightly moved, and wanted to stretch out her hand several times, but she wanted to do so. The other two were silent, the three of them had been reminiscing about Chu for some years, these two women were still shouldering the hope of the family, what they hoped at this moment was that Ran Qi could nod and agree, so that their efforts would not be in vain.

Ran Qi was still silent, but there was a little more determination between his eyebrows. If this decision had been made, there would have been no need to be so silent in the first place. And the woman he loves so much doesn't have to go to the point of no return. The morning sun of that day is vivid, the drums of that day are still echoing in his ears, and the tragedy of that day tortures his heart all the time. He wondered, if he had promised her early in the morning, would the ending be different?

The opportunity was once again in front of him, and although Siren had passed away, some regrets still had to be made up. The three people in front of them were desperate and desperate. Putting Ran Qi under house arrest here is even more dangerous. The current situation outside the city is changing rapidly, and if you can't get Ran Junshou to be sincere, then all these efforts will come to naught.

Ran Qi straightened up suddenly, and his tall body looked a little depressed at this moment. Slowly opening his chapped lips that had not been drunk for a long time, Ran Qi muttered, "What should I do?" ”

These simple four words flew into the ears of the three people like a natural sound. But the three of them didn't dare to relax, and only listened to the cold woman crying tears, "Brother Ran, thank you." Watch what happens, and when the time comes, I'll ask for your help. ”

After speaking, he looked at the other two, and the man also bowed his head, and the worry and nervousness at that time had disappeared. The young woman was even more overjoyed, but due to the atmosphere in front of her, she didn't dare to be too direct, but just walked to the side of the cold woman with a little smile in her eyes.

Just after the four of them reached a consensus, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and someone stood outside the door and reported loudly, "Qi Yu County Guard, three fine workers are mixed in the city, and they are wandering through the city at the moment, please give instructions." Ran Qi was shocked when he heard this, not only him, but even the other three were equally surprised.

The purpose of their coming here has been achieved, could it be that there are still people who want to concoct the same method and take advantage of the momentum of Longshou County to start from the dangerous wall? But the three of them were silent and did not look at Ran Junshou. Although Ran Qi felt doubts in his heart, he patiently asked, "Where did the three of them come from?" How do you dress? ”

The person outside the door immediately replied: "These three people have come from the west of the city, and they are dressed as homeless people. He was intercepted outside the city by Captain Yuan, and after being brought into the city, he attacked and fled. According to reports, two men who were no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with a little girl of six or seven years old. ”

Hearing this, Ran Qi muttered again in his heart, it stands to reason that if he usually sent someone to deliver a letter, he would never be so big. Moreover, there had been flying books before, and the book clearly stated that someone would send a letter, so in order to avoid people's eyes, he did not say much. At this time, there was a rumor outside the city, and due to the situation, he was forced to answer the request of Yi Chu and others, could it be that someone came......

didn't dare to continue thinking about it, Ran Qi immediately decided, "Quickly search the whole city, and be sure to arrest these three people." The people outside the door hugged their fists and led the order, Ran Qi didn't dare to hold it up at this time, if it was really from Luoyang, then his own safety was small, and the survival of Longshou County was big.

The other three were all as heavy as water, but Ran Qi opened his mouth to be relieved, "The three of you don't need to worry, but a few fleas, you can't afford the wind and waves." But there is one more thing at the moment, and I need three people to share my worries. ”

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, but the man didn't think much about it before he spoke: "If the county keeper is useful enough for us, just ask." ”

Ran Junshou nodded indifferently and explained the current situation in Longshou County. This statement said that the three of them knew that they had been tied up with Longshou County, and if they couldn't help them tide over the difficulties, I am afraid that Yichu's plan would also be in vain. But with the meager strength of just three people, it is also a drop in the bucket, but if you retreat and don't help, then the efforts just now will collapse in an instant.

Ran Junshou seemed to see the difficulties of the three of them, and after a long silence, he said: "There is no need for a few people to be too troubled, only one person needs to go to Hexi Mansion to investigate the enemy's situation, so that Longshou County can deal with it calmly." At present, the city is well armed, but the troops are empty, and if you don't know who you are, I'm afraid you will fall into a bitter battle. ”

After listening to Ran Qi's words, the three of them all nodded silently. This heartfelt did not put the three of them in the place of life and death, but hoped that the three of them could contribute to Longshou County, and it could also be regarded as an alliance. This request is not harsh, but it can hit the nail on the head, and the three of them really have no reason to refuse.

Before the man could speak, the cold woman said in a deep voice: "Envoy Xiang needs to sit here, Siyan is still young and inexperienced, so I should go there myself." ”

Ran Qi was stunned when he heard this, but he did not refuse. Among the three, only Chu Nanshuang and his wife have a very close relationship, and Ran Qi also treats him as a sister. If it weren't for the fact that this person forced his wife to submit during the battle of the dragon head, he would not have killed the two of them.

It's just that time has passed, and when he reunites with them again, the grievances of the past have been buried deep in his heart, but the bond between him and them can no longer be severed and untied.

The man who was called to be the envoy of Xiang wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Chu Nanshuang raising his hand, "The current situation cannot be delayed, everything in the city invites Xiang Envoy and Siyan to help, if you do not return in three days, please close the city gate and prepare to meet the enemy." Both of them nodded indifferently, Siyan put away his cynical face, and tears flashed in his eyes. Chu Nanshuang raised her hand and stroked her forehead, and murmured: "You should also learn to grow up, I can't protect you in this world." ”

Siyan nodded frequently when he heard this, but his hands trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something but couldn't say it for a while. Chu Nanshuang had no intention of staying, and hugged her fist at Ran Qi, "Please wait for the good news of the little girl." With that, he turned around and opened the door, and strode away.

Ran Qi looked at Chu Nanshuang's departing back, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, "It's too similar, the backs of these two people are too similar." They are all so weak, but they are so resolute and unyielding. When he was stunned again, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a personal guard ran quickly, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Qiyu County Guard, subordinates and others have searched in the city without success, and Captain Yuan is also injured in bed at this time, I don't know what to do, please give the county guard an order." ”

Unexpectedly, in this big Longshou County, there were actually a few fleas. And these fleas are like "maggots on tarsal bones", burrowing into the sleeves of the three people present, waiting for the opportunity to take a bite. Without waiting for Ran Qi to speak, Siyan took the lead and asked, "Have you searched every place in the city?" ”

The guard was a little stunned, looked up and saw that Ran Junshou nodded, and then he hugged his fists and continued: "Back to the girl, the city has indeed been investigated, but there is a fireworks willow alley that is feasting the nobles in the city, and I didn't go in to check it out because I couldn't bother." ”

Siyan suddenly grasped the key, "What is the name of that place?" Who is here to feast on the nobles? ”

This time, it was Ran Junshou who opened his mouth to solve his doubts, "The old man in the city has gone to seven or eight, which coincides with a person's sixtieth birthday, although the situation is pressing, but I can't stop it, so I agreed to this matter." By the way, that place is called 'Yixiangyuan'. ”

After listening to Ran Qi's words, Siyan already had a plan in his heart. At that time, in Longshou County, I knew a lot about the fireworks willow lane, which was called fireworks willow lane, but there were many hidden things in it, and it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. And this time, there are people who are in danger and want to hold a "birthday banquet" for Raushzi, and it will not be so simple to think about it.

It's just that Ran Junshou wants to speak and stops, and there seems to be another hidden story. Thinking of this, he raised his hand and waved away the guard, turned to look at the county guard Ran and said, "Since the county guard is inconvenient to say more, how about the little woman go on a trip and find out?" ”

Although Ran Qi didn't like this girl, this girl was a sister brought by his wife after all, and she had been in the city for many years. The events of that day were also suppressed, so he dissuaded him out of kindness: "Miss Siyan still don't go in person, so as not to cause trouble." ”

The envoy on the other side sniffed out the clue, "Why is it difficult for Lord County to hide?" If it's inconvenient to come forward, I'll solve it for you. ”

Ran Qi laughed bitterly when he heard this, and said frankly: "There are old people from the previous dynasty in Longshou County, who have contributed a lot after the battle at that time. I also let it go, although I did not personally give a congratulatory gift to this birthday banquet. It is to protect his face. If someone disrupts this birthday feast, I'm afraid that person will not give up. ”

"Could it be that this person still has a relationship with Luoyang?" The envoy asked critically.

Ran Qi nodded, "This person is the key to protecting Longshou County, if he is guilty, the time when the city is broken will be the day when the dragon's head falls." ”
