Chapter 402: The Name of a Man, the Shadow of a Tree
It turned out that when Li You and the others went to the eastern suburbs of Qishui County last night to meet Miao Cuilin's father and son, Xue Rengui, who was secretly protecting them, found that someone was following, and they did not startle the snake, and when Li You and the others left Dongwang Village, they continued to secretly monitor those who were following.
At night, the scene of the black-clothed man kidnapping Miao Cuilin's father and son was seen in the eyes of Xue Rengui and others, they followed them quietly, and still did not alarm them, until they reported the situation to Li You.
Early this morning, Li You got up and exercised in the morning as always. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Xue Rengui waiting outside the door. Li You said: "Go outside and talk about it." ”
Xue Rengui followed Li You in the courtyard while boxing, and whispered.
Li You heard that the whereabouts of his group were being monitored, especially when he went to see Miao Cuilin's father and son last night, and they were arrested. He thought it was too weird. He said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it later." ”
While punching, Li You secretly pondered: "These people have such great strength, it is definitely not done by ordinary people, it is very likely that it is related to the local magnates." Investigate this matter on your own, and the local government should actively cooperate. But they act this way, apparently because they are afraid that they will come into contact with people related to the river, what are they hiding? ”
Li You was originally not very interested in this matter, but now it has aroused his curiosity, and he decides to continue the investigation.
The two continued their morning exercises, and with the peripheral vision of their eyes, they could see that there were people secretly watching them in the inn.
Li You finished his morning exercise, returned to the house, and called Zhang Guigui, who lowered his voice and said: "This matter seems to be really not simple, our current actions are all being monitored.
We're in the open, and if we go on like this, we won't find anything. My opinion is that after we leave Luoyang and get rid of the surveillance of those people, we will kill again. In this way, we are in the shadows, and we will take the initiative. ”
Zhang Guigui and Xue Rengui agreed with Li You's opinion, and decided that Li You and others would leave Luokou and go south with great fanfare, and Xue Rengui and others would secretly stay to protect Miao Cuilin's father and son.
……
Not long after Li You and the others left Luokou, Miao Xiting, the commander of Cishui County, received news that Miao Cuilin's father and son were missing. He realized that the problem was serious, and hurried to the inn. When he heard that Li You, the king of Qi, had left, he couldn't help but be disappointed. He now deeply regrets that he helped Li You, and as a result, he put Miao Cuilin's father and son in danger, and his future situation may also be very worrying.
After thinking about it, he decided to mobilize the forces of his county to try to rescue Miao Cuilin's father and son, and then resign from his official position and leave the officialdom.
Xishui County Ya.
That night, Miao Xiting was anxiously waiting for news, he was irritable, and picked up a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to pass the time, but he couldn't read a word. He looked at "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and thought to himself: "I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qi is a prince who dares to act and is extremely intelligent, and even this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written by him. That's when I was willing to help him.
But I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the King of Qi was so irresponsible, and it seemed that he was still too young. Now that Miao Cuilin's father and son have had an accident, he has already left here.
I don't blame anyone else for this, I blame myself for not being familiar with officialdom. It's not an official's material. ”
Soon, Captain Ma Ming came in. As soon as Miao Xiting saw his face, he knew that he had found nothing. But he still couldn't help asking, "Is there any news about Miao Cuilin's father and son?" ”
County Lieutenant Ma Ming shook his head and said, "My lord, there is no news, it seems that they have left the realm of Xishui County." The person who kidnapped Miao Cuilin's father and son was definitely not committed by someone from this county, and the lower officials had no clue at all. ”
Miao Xiting waved his hand in disappointment and said, "You go down first." ”
Ma Ming bowed and retired.
Miao Xiting returned to the back house, and Mrs. Gao said worriedly: "Master, uncle, father and son are missing, they must not have an accident, otherwise how can you explain to your father." ”
Miao Xiting was upset, and when he heard his wife say this, he said impatiently: "Don't talk about this matter, aren't I trying my best to track it down?" ”
Late at night, Miao Xiting couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed, so he put it on
In the study, a servant lit a lantern for him and retreated.
Miao Xiting is here alone, so he has to clear his mind and think about how he will face the dangerous situation in the future. He knew that what he did had angered the interest groups of the Luoyang government, and his official position would definitely not be kept.
What he is worried about now is the safety of Miao Cuilin's father and son. He suddenly thought that if something happened to Miao Cuilin's father and son, would those people simply attack themselves in order to prevent them from being tracked down?
Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, the study room was pushed away. When he looked up, he saw a tall man in black walking in. Not only that, but the man in black was also holding a bright Tang knife in his hand!
Miao Xiting was just about to shout, and someone came and said, "Don't be afraid, Lord County, I'm Xue Rengui." ”
Miao Xiting looked at it and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He said excitedly: "General Xue, how could it be you, didn't you leave Luokou?" ”
Xue Rengui said with a smile: "Not only did I not leave, but even His Royal Highness King Qi has returned." ”
Miao Xiting felt a sense of happiness in his heart, and he felt that this His Royal Highness the King of Qi was not simple. The heart said, "The name of a man, the shadow of a tree." His Royal Highness King Qi's name really didn't come for nothing. I really didn't see the wrong person. ”
Xue Rengui said: "My lord is still worried about Miao Cuilin's father and son, please rest assured, we already know their whereabouts, and our people are monitoring them, and they can save people at any time." I came here to discuss something with adults. ”
Hearing that Miao Cuilin's father and son had a whereabouts, Miao Xiting's heart was also relaxed. He said, "General Xue, please command." ”
Xue Rengui said: "The prince is outside the city now, there are some things that need to be discussed with you face-to-face, you and I go out of the city and go to see the prince." ”
Miao Xiting said: "Okay, Xiaguan will go with General Xue." ”
Xue Rengui said: "You go directly out of the east gate by yourself, and I will wait for you there." With that, he walked outside.
Miao Xiting walked out of the door of the study and saw that Xue Rengui had already walked to the edge of the wall. Although the wall of the county government is not as tall as the city wall, it is more than one person high. He saw Xue Rengui gently vertically upward, pressing his hand on the wall, and the person had already gone up the wall, and then disappeared.
Miao Xiting said in his heart: "His Royal Highness King Qi's subordinates are really capable." He called his relatives to follow Miao Yong, and went out on horseback and walked towards the east gate of the county.
Miao Xiting and the others walked out of the east gate, and after walking a short distance, they saw Xue Rengui standing on the side of the road and several soldiers under him.
Not long after, in a forest next to the official road, Miao Xiting met Li You, the king of Qi. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
