Chapter Twenty-Four: The Man Was Found
"Zhong Yan, go hire a few more boys to come back, strengthen the guard of the house, look at this situation, I'm afraid something will happen." Looking at the officials in the distance, Yang Huaigui called Zhong Yan and commanded.
"Yes, don't worry, sir, the little ones will do it."
"Your Highness, you haven't rested yet?" General Long led people to patrol at night, and found that Mu Lingxi's tent was still lit, so he asked softly outside the tent.
"General Dragon, right? Please come in and talk. Mu Lingxi said in the tent.
"The last general will greet His Royal Highness King Xiang." General Long lifted the curtain and entered the tent and bowed his hand.
"Excuse me, sit down." Mu Lingxi rubbed his eyebrows, "You came just in time, I asked the accompanying military doctor a few days ago, and the military doctor still didn't find out what caused it, but the sick soldiers were all relieved." General Long, how is the mood of the soldiers now? Are they all stable? ”
"Back to Your Highness, the soldiers we brought are fine, there is no big problem, and I don't know much about this disease, but the soldiers who were originally stationed here trembled with fear as long as they mentioned the word lacquer."
"Lacquered eyes......" Mu Lingxi took a deep breath, he really didn't expect it to be such a stalemate now.
Mu Lingxi looked at the beating flames, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter: "General Long, select twenty strong soldiers from the soldiers we brought, and live with this king back to the original station."
General Long immediately understood Mu Lingxi's intentions: "Your Highness, you must not, if you have three longs and two shorts, how can I explain to the saint!"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger! Go for it. Mu Lingxi's tone was not negotiable.
"Yes......" General Long had to respond.
"Steward Chen, you see that this has been searching door to door for three or four days, and I haven't found this girl, look at the next ......" ran for three or four days in a row, Luan Pu'an really didn't want to toss anymore.
"Is there anything missing?" Chen Xiao frowned, thinking about it carefully, for fear that something would be missed.
"It's not about omissions, if you want to talk about finding the living, then we still have a Caifeng Tower that we haven't gotten to, and if you want to talk about finding the dead, there are mass graves outside the city. Look, are you still looking for it? Luan Pu'an cautiously tentatively breathed.
"Luan Zhutou, Ming'er will work hard for you and the brothers again, if there are no two places, then we should also go back." Chen Xiao searched for so many days, but found nothing, and his arrogance was naturally not as arrogant as when he first came, and he spoke politely to Luan Pu'an, "You can take this ingot of silver and buy some tea for the brothers." Chen Xiao took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms and put it in Luan Pu'an's hand.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Steward Chen, you're too polite." Seeing that Chen Xiao said soft words and gave silver again, Luan Pu'an's resentment was not so heavy. Let's take people's money, eliminate disasters for others, and run for another day.
"What's your name?" The sky was bright, and Zhong Yan arrived at the human market and selected the family.
"If you go back to your master, the small one is called a stone." A strong half-grown boy laughed.
"Well, what about you?" Zhong Yan continued to choose.
"If you go back to your master, the little one is called Wangzi."
"Well, what about you?"
"If you go back to your father, the little one is called Shunzi."
"Okay, you three, take your things and come with me." Zhong Yan waved his hand and walked towards the Yang Mansion. The three of them each took their own bedding rolls and walked silently behind Zhong Yan.
Brother Shun, who was secretly observing outside the Yang Mansion early in the morning, saw a group of servants entering the Yang Mansion, Brother Shun had been unsure, and heard that Yang Huaigui was going to add domestic slaves at the root of the wall, so he went to the human market and waited. Sure enough, Zhong Yan beside Yang Huaigui came to the city to pick people, Brother Shun's eyes rolled, and he changed his name to Shunzi, and successfully followed Zhong Yan.
Going around and around, the group arrived in front of the Yang Mansion. Zhong Yan stepped forward and opened the corner door and beckoned the three of them: "Let's go, follow me to see the master."
"Not bad. It's all pretty sturdy, take care of the back garden. Yang Huaigui looked at the three and a half sons in front of him, and his heart was still quite satisfied, only this kind of half-grown son who was ignorant of personnel could rest assured, "You remember, there may be some strange sounds in the back garden at night, that is the family immortal of my Yang Mansion, you must put away your curiosity, don't rush." Yang Huaigui knocked on the three people in front of him.
The three of them looked at each other, bowed and said, "Yes."
"Okay, Zhong Yan, take them down to wash and change their clothes." Yang Huaigui went back to the house with his back hand.
Since Mrs. Rong said that she can't test it now, let's wait until she gives birth to the child. Yang Huaigui thought and pushed open Bizhu's door.
"Madam, take a bite, even if you don't eat, it's for the sake of the little master in your belly." Yan'er came to the green bamboo bed with the food.
At this time, the green bamboo was tied to the bed and couldn't move. Seeing Yan'er walking towards him, Luzhu felt irritable and twisted his face to the side.
Yan'er picked the corners of her mouth and sneered: "Madam, don't you toast and don't eat and drink, this meal is given to the child in your belly by the master, if you don't want to open your mouth and eat it, the slave will stuff it into your mouth."
Luzhu turned her head and saw the grim smile on Yan'er's face, and instantly felt a cool air climb up the back of her back, she was afraid that Yan'er would do something, so she had to open her mouth.
"That's right." Yan'er sneered and fed the warm meal into Luzhu's mouth little by little.
"Yes, the horse's steps have been much steater lately, and the leg strength of running has improved a lot, and from today, I will start to teach you some punches and kicks." Next to the pond in Xiyuan, Hua Chen shook Qiu Tang's shoulder and said with satisfaction.
"Thank you, uncle." Qiu Tang hurriedly saluted.
In the pavilion opposite the pond, Yuchen silently looked at Qiu Tang, who was seriously learning to punch and kick, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Throw your sleeves, turn around, tiptoe, lift your breath, your lips are lightly opened, the sound is like cotton wool, soft around you, drilled into the pores, reached the heart and spleen, and stirred the soft intestines.
On this side of the pond, Huachen is full of confidence, and he is full of tiger and tiger between his gestures: "The chassis must be stable, move fast, shoot steadily, accurately, ruthlessly, and must not be indecisive and hesitant."
"Steward Chen, come on, come on, eat vegetables." At sunset, Luan Pu'an took Steward Chen and ran for another day, but still didn't find anything, tired for a day, the group came to Huizeyuan Restaurant to sacrifice the Five Organs Temple, and also practiced for Steward Chen by the way.
"Luan Zhutou, I respect you!" Chen Xiao picked up the wine bowl and said, "Luan has worked hard these days. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, where the duty is, where the duty lies. Steward Chen was too polite. Luan Pu'an responded flatteredly.
"Come on, come on, everyone eats food, if the wine is not enough, call the shopkeeper to take it, everyone eats and drinks well today." Luan Pu'an got up to distribute food and pour wine for everyone.
"Dengdengdeng" footsteps sounded on the stairs, and the guys from the restaurant ran up, like Luan Pu'an handed a color, Luan Pu'an immediately understood: "Everyone, eat slowly, I'll come when I go." With that, he turned around and went downstairs with the guy.
Looking at it twice, there was no one around, Luan Pu'an asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master Luan, are you looking for a little girl these days?" The guy leaned into Luan Pu'an's ear and whispered.
"How do you know?" Luan Pu'an was startled and grabbed the guy's collar with his backhand.
"Master, don't do it. I also heard you say something casually that day, but I didn't listen to it, if I heard it and said the wrong thing, you would let me fart. The guy was frightened by Luan Pu'an's reaction.
"You're clever, say, what else do you know?" Luan Pu'an let go of his hand and asked.
"Master Luan, a few days ago, I heard that there was a girl named Qingping hidden in Caifeng Building, about seven or eight years old, staying in the small courtyard behind Caifeng Building every day, and I heard Mother Liu say that she fled to Lingcheng from outside...... Lord, lord, I haven't finished yet! Without waiting for the guy to finish speaking, Luan Pu'an rushed upstairs in two steps.
"Let's go! Found it! In a word, the whole table stood up, didn't eat the food, didn't drink the wine, threw down the chopsticks and followed Luan Pu'an and ran out.
A group of people broke into the Caifeng Building, and someone suddenly came at the entrance of the yamen, and the girls and guests in the Caifeng Building were so frightened that they screamed and hid around.
"Where's the old bustard?!" Chen Xiao shouted loudly, and a girl by the window broke a blue and white porcelain vase in fright.
"Oh, my lord! Eliminate gas, eliminate gas. What's going on? Hearing this, Liu's mother walked out of a room at the top of the stairs with a twisted waist.
"Mother Liu, I heard that you have a seven or eight-year-old girl here?" Luan Pu'an pressed Chen Xiao's hand and stepped forward.
"This ......" Mother Liu's face changed at that time, and she leaned into Luan Pu'an's ear, "Lord Luan, yes, yes, but this girl is a chick prepared for Xue Bowen and Xue City Lord, and I am hiding it unknowingly, how do you know?" ”
"Uh......" As soon as he heard that it was for Lord Xue, Luan Pu'an hesitated a little, he, the Lord of Xue, he couldn't be clearer, he didn't like gold, he didn't like silver, he just loved this seven or eight-year-old girl, only he and Mother Liu knew about it.
"Steward Chen." Luan Pu'an decided to discuss this matter with Chen Xiao. So he pulled Chen Xiao aside.
"No, the person who the Holy City Zhang Guoshi wants, whatever you say, I will take it away." Chen Xiao didn't give an inch.
"Yes, I'll take you to the backyard." Seeing that the two sides had not negotiated, Mother Liu knew that if this girl did not let them take away, they would probably demolish her Caifeng Tower. That's it, let's prepare for Xue Bowen again in the future. Mother Liu looked at the girls in a room at a loss, waved her handkerchief and said, "Take the guests back to the room to chat!" What are you doing standing here! Before he finished speaking, the room returned to its previous bustle.
"Gentlemen, come with me." Mother Liu led everyone to the backyard.
"Squeak" Mother Liu pushed open a hidden wooden door, and a large wooden barrel was placed in the middle of the room, the wooden barrel was filled with water, and there were flower petals floating on the water, exuding a vague fragrance, and a girl was soaked in the wooden barrel. The girl heard the door knocking, opened her eyes, and saw that Mother Liu had brought a group of men to break in, and hurriedly ripped off the towels on the side of the bucket to block her body, with a frightened look on her face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the girl." Mother Liu staggered half of her body, leaving the girl completely exposed in front of Luan Puan and the others.
