"Ahh There are assassins! ”

With Xue Ling's exclamation, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Protect your lordship!"

In an instant, Wu Yue and Zhao Chuan, who were also riding behind Lu Chen, drew their swords at the same time, and at the same time, the sound of the halberd infantry marching quickly filled the audience.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

A large number of soldiers of the First Corps rushed over at the first time, and then quickly protected Lu Chen in the center with a human wall, and the halberds in the hands of the soldiers were all at the end, and the people also had a riot in this situation, and they all screamed and began to retreat.

And Wu Yue, who was on the horse, scanned the chaotic crowd at the scene with sharp eyes, and soon, he keenly discovered those men in strong suits.

Their 'sneaky' appearance is that it is difficult not to attract Wu Yue's attention, and when the few men in strong suits saw this, they glanced at each other, and then immediately blended into the crowd, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wu Yue was just about to turn over and dismount to chase after him, but Lu Chen waved his hand to stop him, and said: "Forget it, there are many people now, even if there are really assassins, they have already mixed into the crowd at this time, and it is difficult to find them out again, let's see if the person who shouted just now is still there, let's start with him." ”

"Yes!" Wu Yue responded with a fist, and then, one by one, grabbed the arms of Xue Ling and the maid Xiaocui, and pushed them forward: "My lord, this person was shouting assassins just now." ”

"Take it!" Lu Chen didn't have any extra words, and simply ordered.

"Hey! We have not committed any sin, so why should we be taken! Feed! You're unreasonable......"

Xue Ling shouted dissatisfiedly, she just wanted to use Lu Chen to scare those men away, but she didn't expect Lu Chen to arrest her, but soon, her shouting voice was obediently closed under Rulin's halberd.

After returning home, Lu Chen ordered Xue Ling and the others to be temporarily detained, and then began to deal with post-war affairs.

Xiao Wang had already submitted the casualty statistics of the border army to Lu Chen, and for the soldiers who died in battle, Lu Chen decided to give a certain amount of military pay to the people in his family for resettlement; There are also some miscellaneous military expenses and other problems, all of which have to be verified and decided by him, the border city guard.

After dealing with this series of problems in the army, it was already late at night, and after Lu Chen hastily squinted for a night, early the next morning, he asked Xue Ling and the others to be brought up and ready to interrogate.

After the two soldiers brought Xue Ling and the maid Xiaocui to the hall, Lu Chen sat on the chair, took a sip of tea and asked:

"Who are you? What is the intention of deliberately creating chaos in the downtown area? ”

"This son is ...... It is a native name of Qinghe County, surnamed Ling, and a single name is a snow character. Xue Ling said nonsense.

"Lingxue?" Lu Chen frowned slightly, secretly said what a strange name, he put down the teacup, and was just about to continue asking, but at this time, Wu Yue hurriedly walked in from outside the door.

After coming in, Wu Yue first glanced at Xue Ling with a sideways look, and then came to Lu Chen, bent down slightly, and whispered in his ear:

"My lord, the matter has been clarified, those suspicious men are the guards of the Qinghe County Government, and just now, Lord Xue has sent someone to send a letter, please take a look."

As he spoke, Wu Yue took out a bamboo slip from his cuff and handed it to Lu Chen.

"Oh?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, those men were from the Qinghe County Government, which already made him feel very strange, and at this time he received Xue Huairen's letter, he hurriedly took it and took it carefully.

After he finished reading it, he suddenly snorted and laughed.

"You, what the hell are you laughing at." Seeing this, Xue Ling asked weakly, what did Wu Yue say to Lu Chen, she didn't hear a word at all, and who sent the bamboo slip, she couldn't even know.

Lu Chen ignored her, but waved his hand at the two soldiers beside Xue Ling, and said, "You guys go down first." ”

"No!"

After the two soldiers left, Lu Chen put down the bamboo slips, stood up from his seat, rubbed his chin with his hand, looked left and right around Xue Ling, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Lingxue...... Interesting ......"

"Gong ...... Childe, he ...... He laughed so scarily......" Xiao Cui whispered timidly beside Xue Ling.

In fact, there was no need for Xiao Cui to remind her, as soon as she saw that Lu Chen was still interrogating herself just now, but suddenly he retreated from the soldiers, and he became this sneaky appearance, Xue Ling was even more weak for no reason, and she boldly asked:

"You, you, what do you want to do?"

"Your Excellency claims to be from Qinghe County?" Lu Chen continued to look at her and asked.

"That'...... So what. ”

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that the official heard that Miss Xue Ling, the county guard daughter of Qinghe County, not only gave birth to a flower and moon appearance, but also knew how to read and reason, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was excellent in everything, which can be described as a beautiful woman with both talent and appearance. Since you are from Qinghe County, I wonder if this rumor is true? Lu Chen asked deliberately.

Yikes! When Xue Ling heard this, her heart was as sweet as drinking honey, she raised her little head proudly, and pretended to swing a folding fan, and said, "Of course!" Our county guard daughter in Qinghe County, that is naturally so ......"

It's just that before she finished her words, Lu Chen shook his head again, and said with a pretended sigh: "But I can see it today, it's completely unworthy of the name!" What kind of knowledgeable person is this, let me see, she is completely a savage crazy woman! Cut, rumors in the market, if it is not credible, it ......"

"You, you, you! Shame on you! Xue Ling is so clever, how could she not see that Lu Chen already knew her identity at this time, this was deliberately angry with herself!

Her fair cheeks were suddenly covered with a flush, and her big beautiful eyes did not have the cunning of the past, but a strong sense of shame and anger.

"Alright, alright." Lu Chen saw that she was deflated, and the joke was almost over, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Miss Xue, you are such a beautiful big girl, you ran out alone, what if you meet a bad person, Lord Xue must not die in a hurry, I think, let's hurry back to the house." ”

He just said that he was like a crazy woman, and now he said that he was beautiful, after Xue Ling heard it, he was in a complicated mood, ashamed, and a little sweet, and couldn't help but hum slightly: "I want you to take care of it!" ”

When Lu Chen heard this, he shook his head amusedly, and then glanced at Wu Yue and said, "Wu Yue, you are responsible for Miss Xue's safety, be sure to send her back to the Qinghe County Mansion and hand it over to Lord Xue in person." ”

"The last general commands!" Wu Yue intervened and said, then stretched out his hand towards Xue Lingyi and made an invitation: "Miss Xue, please." ”

"I'm not going back! You're not my person, I want you to take care of me! Xue Ling said dissatisfiedly.

"I don't want to use force." Lu Chen still said with a smile.

"You! Lu Chen! I hate you......"
