Wan Ting was worried about Zhou Qi's comfort and wanted to rush back to Huizhou, but Chen Mingyang was calm and grabbed Wan Ting, "Wan Ting, if you go back now, you will be sent to death." ”

Wan Ting shook off Chen Mingyang, "You let me go, my brother is still in the city, I have to go back!" Besides, Chen Mingyang, if you had listened to me just now, we would have gone back long ago! Don't forget, your family is still in Huizhou City, you are also a big family, and those horse bandits will be the first to go to your house. ”

"Yes, I was wrong just now, but now the situation in Huizhou City is unknown, didn't you see that team of horse bandits just now, the soldiers are strong and strong, if you go back now, you can only be sent to death." If you have to go back, I naturally can't stop you, but you think about it, if you go to death, your brother will find out, and how much he will blame himself in the future, he may not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life. ”

Wan Ting was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and cried, "No, my brother won't, he doesn't care about me." ”

Chen Mingyang didn't know what happened to the Zhou family brothers and sisters, but seeing that Huanting was so sad, and the confrontation between the two armies just now, he must have been frightened, and he really couldn't bear to blame her again, "Okay, let's go to the post station in front of us first to explain the situation, there are officials there, and they must have more ways than our people." ”

Wan Ting glanced at Chen Mingyang, and knew in her heart that he was right, although she was reluctant, she was still pulled by Chen Mingyang to tie the horse bandit to the book, and also blindfolded him and blocked his mouth. The two rode the same horse and walked towards the official road. Without taking two steps, He Ping rode a horse and chased after him, "Miss, Miss!" He Ping was covered in blood, and he couldn't tell if it was his or the horse bandits, he and the chain broke out of the encirclement, tracking Wan Ting along the official road all the way, and when they encountered a fork in the road, the two separated to look for it.

"Hey, He Ping." Seeing that He Ping was not dead, Wan Ting was finally relieved, "He Ping, what about the others?" ”

"The chain is looking for you over there." He Ping pointed to the left, and immediately dimmed, "Bai Tu was hacked to death just now." As soon as these words came out, all three of them fell silent.

He Ping lowered his head, thinking that the brother who was still together just now died tragically in front of him, his heart was heavy and complicated, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a piece of blood on Chen Mingyang's elbow, "Hey, Chen Gongzi, are you injured?" ”

"Oh, out of the way." Chen Mingyang was cut in the elbow by the horse bandit just now, and although the blood flowed out, it should be a skin injury, so there was no speech. Wan Ting pulled Chen Mingyang's elbow and looked at it, and immediately became angry, "This bastard, let's go back and cut him!" ”

"Hey, Wan Ting." Zhou Qi pulled the horse and said to He Ping, "Lord He, the horse bandit who chased us just now was tied to a tree by us, what should we do now?" ”

He Ping looked around, it seemed that there were no other horse bandits, and turned to Chen Mingyang and said, "Let's go and pull the horse bandits up first, and then go back to the city with the chain." ”

"It's too unsafe to go back to the city now."

"When I met Chen Gongzi just now, I had already sent someone back to report the news, but it was only a mile away from the city. If it goes well, I believe that the adults should take precautions, and now there are government soldiers and patrol battalions in the city, and these adults can mobilize themselves, and the city should be safe now. ”

Hearing this, Chen Mingyang and Huanting finally put their minds at ease and glanced at each other, "Okay, then let's go back to the city." ”

At this time, Zhou Qi had already gotten the news, although he felt incredible, he still took the government soldiers, mobilized the city patrol army, and personally came to the city gate to organize the officers and soldiers to close the city gate. Everyone is locked up, and the vanguard of the horse bandits has already rushed over. The people on the city wall saw clearly and shouted, "The horse bandits are coming!" "The people have long since fled in all directions.

Zhou Qi and Li Bo are both at the city gate, "Close the city gate and face the battle!" Even when the sound fell, the bandits had already ridden through the city gates.

Zhou Qi and Li Bo rode horses and confronted the horse bandits, the soldiers resisted to the death, the city gate slowly closed, the large army of the horse bandits was blocked outside, and in the sound of fighting, the ten people who came first were wiped out in a short time. At this time, Zhou Qi didn't have time to think about anything else, climbed the city wall, looked at the horse bandits under the city wall, and raised a hand, "Release!" ”

Thousands of arrows were fired on the city wall, and the horse bandits knew that the general trend had gone, so they hurriedly retreated. He Ping took Chen Mingyang and Zhou Huanting to find the chain, walked all the way, walked through the dense forest, and finally saw the retreating horse bandits. The whole team had long lost the momentum they had when they came, and they didn't care about the few people hiding in the dense forest. Several people finally came to the city gate, Zhou Qi saw that it was these people, and quickly ordered the door to be opened, and he also came to the city gate.

"Why did you get back?"

"Brother." Wan Ting hugged Zhou Qi, "I almost didn't see you." ”

"Okay, my brother is not good, I didn't protect you, don't cry." Zhou Qi comforted his sister while looking at Chen Mingyang, "Why are you here?" ”

"Oh, my lord, it was Chen Mingyang who saved Miss." He Ping hurriedly took over.

Zhou Qi thought to himself that he was really afraid of something, "Take Miss back to the house first, I still have something to deal with here." ”

"Brother, Chen Mingyang is injured."

Zhou Qi glared at Wan Ting, and then looked at Chen Mingyang, "Where is Chen Gongzi injured?" ”

"Oh, it's fine."

"That's good."

Chen Mingyang didn't want to trouble everyone, Zhou Qi answered quickly, "Huanting, you hurry back to the house." ”。

Wan Ting really convinced her brother, "Brother, someone just saved me." ”

"It's out of the way, really, but Governor Zhou, I'm going out of the city, I'm going to get medicine for my grandfather."

"What medicine do I need to get out of the city?"

"It's Xiliang's home remedies, I asked someone else's caravan to bring it back, and I said that it would be delivered in Shili Pavilion, and now I have to find them."

"Chen Mingyang, the horse bandits outside may not have left yet!" Wan Ting became worried.

"Governor Zhou, I have to go out of the city, my grandfather's life is more important than anything else."

"No one is allowed to leave the city." Zhou Qi commanded lightly.

"Governor Zhou."

"Come on, please leave all the unrelated people."

"Hey, Zhou Zhifu, Zhou Zhifu." Chen Mingyang was pushed away by the officers and soldiers, "Hey, Governor Zhou." ”

"Don't scream, my brother will ignore you."

"It's a good thing that I met you, but I didn't meet you." Chen Mingyang couldn't get out of the city, he was really helpless and irritable.

"How can I be blamed for this?"

"How don't I blame you! If I hadn't sent you back, I would be in Shili Pavilion by now. ”

"Hey! I'm worried about you, so I caught up with you, why don't you know the hearts of good people! ”

"I don't know the hearts of good people? Then you have to be good first! ”

When the two were arguing, Yu Nian finally came to the city gate in a sedan chair, and after getting off the sedan chair, Yu Nian came to the cycle in a panic, "Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Qi has already organized people to clean up the battlefield, and also handed over the horse bandits brought back by He Ping to the officials to take away, and now Yu Nian has come "just right", "Yu Tongzhi, can't you see it?" ”

"Lord Zhou, these people look like little people, how can they hold weapons? Is this worth it? Yu Nian looked distressed.

"Yu Tongzhi, the official received the news that a team of horse bandits colluded with the people in the city and planned to attack the merchants, and the official has dealt with it in time, and the people have no injuries, why did Yu Tongzhi come?"

Yu Nian really didn't expect Zhou Qihui to get the news in advance, these useless horse bandits actually only rushed in and ten people were all taken down, "Lord Zhou, Xia Guan was originally handling official affairs in the official office, and he rushed here immediately after hearing the news. Lord Zhou, who can you catch? ”

"If you don't catch anyone, they're all dead."

"Hey, Governor Zhou, this should be left alive, how can this be good? It's too impulsive! ”

"Yu Tongzhi!" Li Bo couldn't listen anymore beside him, "This can be regarded as a battlefield, but you are a matter of life and death, for the sake of the people not being harmed, Zhou Zhifu has tried his best to do his best." How? Yu Tongzhi didn't do anything, who are you pointing fingers at? ”

Yu Nian didn't expect Li Bo to defend Zhou Qi like this in front of everyone, "Lord Qincha, as a fellow official, he is just talking about things, and he doesn't mean anything else, but why is Lord Qincha so sensitive." ”

"You two." Zhou Qi didn't want the onlookers to see the discord between the officials at this time, "Either clean up the battlefield, or go back to the government to stay." ”

"Lord Zhou, the lower official is here to assist you, and the lower official will organize people to clean up the battlefield, and then count the casualties, property losses, etc."

"Hmm." Zhou Qi stood upright with his hands behind his back, and Li Bo crossed his hands on his chest, no matter how he looked at it, he revealed the meaning of not waiting to see Yu Nian. Yu Nian beat the drum in his heart, the knife showed out a few times, and the person has not been killed, which is the most unbearable thing in his Huan Hai career. While organizing manpower, Yu Nian peeked at Li Bo and Zhou Qi from time to time, and the two seemed to be busy with each other and had little intersection. Yu Nian knew that they didn't have much friendship, and last time it was just his own frame-up. But he never expected that the emperor didn't think anything, but the fine was half a year, which was not a punishment in the officialdom at all. Yu Nian heard Zhang Hai say that he saw the two sneaking together, Li Bo also changed in disguise to go to the prefect's yamen, and now Li Bo is so protective of Zhou Qi, the relationship between the two is really confusing, Yu Nian stood in front of a mess and frowned, and Zhang Hai was also frowning when he stood in the living room at this time.

"A bunch of rubbish, not even entering the city gates."

"What now?"

"How did Zhou Kai know that the horse bandits were going to enter the city today?"

"My lord, don't forget, you know that there are not a few horse bandits who have entered the city today."

Zhang Hai glanced back at Zhang Guang, "What do you mean?" ”

"That fool for the rest of the year, he didn't do anything well, and for his own benefit, he notified all his cronies in advance. My lord, how can the friendship in officialdom be so solid, I think there must have been people who took refuge in Zhou Kai! ”

"Hmph, okay, Zhou Kai, hiding in the prefect's yamen every day, my mind is very deep." , Zhang Hai said angrily, "If you win this time, it won't be so easy next time!" ”
