Chapter 554: Old Subordinates
Because Xiao Chumo's usual style is bright and upright, it is difficult for Qianqiu to casually place a crime on him like the officials who executed him on the street before, and behead him on the street under the guise of "setting an example", so he temporarily turned a blind eye to the escape of the couple from the dungeon, but Qianqiu secretly sent someone to monitor the two, once they were negligent in their vigilance, or had the intention of overthrowing his regime, Qianqiu was equivalent to catching the handle and taking action.
In fact, the reason why Qianqiu is so comfortable, and he seems to be the same as usual, looks lazy and idle, is because he is sure, even if he doesn't go to Xiao Chumo and Yu Panxi first, it won't be long before the two of them will definitely come back to the door, so why bother with it? It's better to sit comfortably on the throne of the Ninety-Five, and wait for them to shout and kill.
There has been no news of Xiaodouding and Ah Ye for several days, Yu Panxi's illness caused by depression can't help but worsen, Xiao Chumo found a number of doctors and wanted to help her diagnose the pulse, but after the other party checked her pulse, they all shook their heads, saying that they couldn't do anything, and left words like "heart disease still needs heart medicine" before leaving.
Xiao Chumo was furious, how could he not know the reason why Yu Panxi was depressed and became ill? But the current situation is chaotic, and the people of Tianshui Pavilion are everywhere, although he is looking for someone to contact his old subordinates, but he has not received a response, if he runs to the palace single-handedly to confront that Qianqiu, I am afraid that he is definitely not the opponent of his well-trained guards, just when he was worried, Ling Feng ran from outside the door and handed him a flying pigeon hand.
"Lord Wang, this letter was received by Ling Feng when he was in the backyard just now, seeing that it was the carrier pigeon we released before, Ling Feng guessed, is this the reply sent by the old subordinates before the prince?" Ling Feng guessed.
Xiao Chumo immediately took out the Xin in the small bamboo tube, opened it, and suddenly the originally gloomy eyes shone brightly, obviously Ling Feng's conjecture was right, this was indeed the reply of Xiao Chumo's old subordinates, at this time, he finally showed a slight smile on his face after many days, and said: "At noon tonight, this king will rush to the City God Temple thirty miles away from the city to make an appointment, and Panxi will trouble you to take care of it." ”
I was afraid that during the time he left, Qianqiu would send people to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, so Xiao Chumo had to be careful, but he couldn't help but go to the appointment, after all, this was the only chance to contact this group of old sick and disabled subordinates, God knows how they avoided the pursuit of the killers of Tianshui Pavilion again and again, and survived until now?
"Ling Feng should do his best to protect the princess." Ling Feng assured with a serious face that until now, protecting Xiao Chumo and Yu Panxi was not only because Ling Feng wanted to repay Yu Feng for saving his life, but also because of the people who were suffering in this country, Xiao Chumo was undoubtedly the only one who could save them from their miserable lives, so he must not have any mistakes.
But what worried Ling Feng was Xiao Chumo, who went to the City God Temple alone, so he frowned slightly and said, "But you ...... it, Lord Wang."
"I'll take care of myself." Then Xiao Chumo turned his head meaningfully, glanced at Yu Panxi, who was shallow on the bed and frowned from time to time, and continued: "As a father, I haven't confirmed with my own eyes that Xiaodouding is safe and sound, and as a husband, I haven't been able to fulfill my promise to let Panxi live a peaceful and happy life, how can I allow myself to have three longs and two shorts?" Just help me protect Panxi. ”
Staring at Xiao Chumo's sad, but unwavering eyes, Ling Feng nodded.
After the agreed time, Xiao Chumo changed into night clothes, and deliberately did not leave from the gate, but jumped over the wall, and when he left, he noticed that outside the door of the palace, there were a few sneaky men who did not look like ordinary Li people, and guessed that this was probably the person sent by Qianqiu to monitor them, but according to Xiao Chumo's martial arts, if he wanted to leave unnoticed, who would be able to detect it?
Hiding from the eyes of the guards guarding the city gate, Xiao Chumo left quietly, and soon rushed to the City God Temple thirty miles away, at this time, there were indeed dozens of old subordinates from before, because they were all familiar faces, and they had also taken pictures of the country before, so Xiao Chumo did not doubt them, and after entering the door, he untied the black scarf.
"My subordinates meet the prince." After seeing Xiao Chumo's deity finally appear, the old subordinates knelt on the ground one after another, and their eyes were either melancholy or mournful.
Like their feelings, having experienced life and death, and seeing their partners who shared hardships before, this feeling made Xiao Chumo, a nine-foot man, his eyes couldn't help but tremble faintly, he patted them on the shoulder, and saw that they were more or less injured, and some, in order to escape the pursuit of Tianshui Pavilion, he even did not hesitate to disguise himself as a refugee, so as to save his life, Xiao Chumo's heart was even more unpleasant.
He sighed and said, "Now that the matter is over, let's not be too rigid about this kind of subsection, I am sorry for all of you, if the killers of Tianshui Pavilion entered the palace at that time, if I could, I would not let you suffer this kind of grievance." ”
"No, it doesn't matter if your subordinates are wronged, but the most important thing is that the innocent people in the city, one by one, they have no experience of holding a sword at all, but they were all accused of rebellion by that vicious Qianqiu, and they were beheaded on the street to show the public, and their subordinates watched their partners, relatives and friends being brutally killed, but they couldn't do anything, this kind of scumbag is what makes the subordinates the most devastated!"
The old subordinates knelt on the ground one by one, refusing to get up, they were all once heroes of this country, but when they remembered the tragic death of their relatives, they couldn't help but silently shed tears of humiliation in front of Xiao Chumo.
Xiao Chumo can understand their inner feelings at this time, after all, he is actually no different from them now, Xiao Douding and Ah Ye disappeared inexplicably, as a father, he couldn't find any trace of them, and he was worried about their lives all day long, but it was precisely because of this that he forced himself to cheer up, if he collapsed at this time, who could save them? Or is it to avenge the tragic death of relatives?
After greeting for a while, Xiao Chumo knew very well that this was definitely not a good place for them to chat, Qianqiu's eyeliner was everywhere, if he knew that they had a party here tonight and sent troops to attack, then these dozen or so people would not be their opponents at all.
At this time, someone raised a question, and said: "Lord, it is rumored from the outside world that when you learned that Qianqiu intended to rebel, you were afraid of causing trouble, so you dragged your family and fled overnight, and even worse, it was also rumored that the prince and the princess were also accomplices of Qianqiu's rebellion, and the subordinates would never believe such ridiculous nonsense, but why did the people of Tianshui Pavilion invade my city, but the prince and the princess did not know where to go?" ”
