Volume 1 Border City Chapter 16 Return Home
After solving a few camps, let the rest be dealt with by his subordinates, Qiu Zhen hurried back again, for fear that there would be any more chaos in the town governor's mansion.
It's just that when he arrived at the mansion, he found that the town governor was not there, and learned from a black-armored general who stayed behind that the town governor had taken people to the Xiao Mansion, and before leaving, he ordered him to wait in the hall if Qiu Zhen came back.
Qiu Zhen didn't doubt this person's words, after all, these people were Zhang Xuanzong's real own people, and in a sense, they were even closer than himself, the commander of the Guards Legion. Qiu Zhen had been waiting anxiously in the hall, but fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before his subordinates carried the unconscious Li Yu'er back to the Town Governor's Mansion.
"How's the situation?" Looking at Li Yu'er on the stretcher, Qiu Zhen couldn't wait to ask the soldiers who came to return to life.
"Back to my lord, Lord Li is fine. The visitor replied.
Qiu Zhen was also confused, and he didn't answer this person's reply at the moment, so he stepped forward to investigate Li Yuer's situation.
At this moment, Li Yuer's face was pale, her long hair was scattered, not messy but giving people a different kind of beauty, and the hands and feet that were originally tied had been untied, and the ropes and sealed cloths had been sorted out by the soldiers.
Qiu Zhen took a cursory inspection, after all, he was a big man, and it was not a good thing to check on a comatose woman, and after finding that Li Yu'er was indeed fine, he didn't say anything, and ordered someone to carry Li Yu'er to the guest room, where Li Yun would take care of her, and then Qiu Zhen returned to the hall and continued to wait anxiously.
Li Yun heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the courtyard, and he was scared but also plucked up the courage to open the door and welcome him.
As soon as he went out, Li Yun saw a few soldiers carrying a person, and after carefully distinguishing it, he found that it was his own lady who was being carried.
Li Yun sat in front of the door like this, tears streaming down his face, several soldiers had already walked into the courtyard, and one of the leading soldiers said to Li Yun, who was about to cry immediately: "Girl, you quickly get up and clean up, and a few of us will help you carry Master Li to the bed to rest." ”
Li Yun was about to collapse, but when he heard such a word, he immediately cried again, but this time the crying was not the same as just now.
"My young lady is not dead?" Li Yun immediately slapped himself as soon as he said it, his mouth still didn't have a doorknob, and he talked nonsense.
"No, Lord Li just fainted, and the commander of our division instructed her to have a good rest, and then go to the town governor to explain the situation when Lord Li wakes up. Several soldiers looked at the maid in front of them with strange expressions.
This girl didn't know what was going on, so she was thinking about it herself, and she even said the unlucky words of her own young lady, it turned out that the maid of the big family in the imperial capital also had this quality, and she didn't feel superior, but stupid.
"Come in with me. Li Yun's face flushed a little, and he quickly turned around and walked towards the inner bedroom.
Several soldiers also followed, and after putting Li Yu'er on the bed, they left immediately. Li Yun took off her coat for Li Yuer, covered it with a thin quilt, and then quietly looked at Li Yuer lying on the bed.
Li Yun's heart was still afraid, he was originally not qualified to come with him, but his own young lady had never gone out alone, and the few people accompanying him were all men, and it was inconvenient for his own young lady, so Li Yun begged Li Yuer to bring her out with him.
Although before leaving, Li Yuer told Li Yun that this trip would be extremely dangerous, but Li Yun didn't take it seriously, in this peaceful and prosperous world, who dared to touch the eldest lady of the Li family of the Supervision Department, but now she understands that she was wrong, although the yard outside the door has been cleaned up, but a faint smell of blood still lingers in Li Yun's nose.
Among the four people who came with him, two were still looking for their young lady in the city, thinking that they would come back soon after receiving the news, but as for the pair of brothers who did not smile and often admitted their mistakes, it seemed that they were still lying in the yard and could never get up.
In the hall of the Town Governor's Mansion, Qiu Zhen suddenly stood up: "My lord, you are back." ”
"Well, what's going on over there?" Zhang Xuanzong walked straight to the main seat, put the knife in his hand in front of him, and took off his helmet.
"Everything is going well, and some of the clowns will be solved one by one during the day today. When Qiu Zhen saw Zhang Xuanzong and returned safely, he knew in his heart that the Xiao family's side should have won the town governor, and he didn't know what the specific harvest was.
"By the way, my lord, Li Yu'er has already found it and sent it back to rest. The man was in a coma, and his right shoulder was seriously injured, and it is estimated that Li Yu'er's cultivation will be able to recover after a month. Qiu Zhen continued.
"When she wakes up, you let her come to me. ”
"Don't worry, my lordship, I have already commanded it. ”
Zhang Zhendu nodded slightly, Qiu Zhen still understands his mind very well.
Qiu Zhen continued: "My lord, the last person was found to have committed suicide in a house not far from Xiao Mansion, that person's right arm was cut off, obviously a master made a move, leaving no trace, it has been sealed off, don't look at it." ”
Zhang Zhendu waved his hand: "I don't need it, you can go and take a look." By the way, a small half of the generals of the Western Battalion were abandoned by the Xiao family, and during this time, you can see if it is possible to arrange your own people to go up. ”
When Qiu Zhen heard this, his heart was shocked, how could he not understand the simple word abandonment, he never withdrew from this option after standing in line, and the so-called abandonment is actually death. Qiu Zhen came back to his senses and said to Zhang Zhendu: "It seems that the adult's side is also going well, and the subordinates will definitely do their best in this matter, please rest assured." ”
Zhang Zhendu smiled lightly, and then seemed to ask Qiu Zhen: "Is it going well?" I'm a little disappointed, no matter how tough they are, I will really kill people." The old man is a military general, no matter how he kills or buries it, I just do it, and let the person who should have a headache have a headache in the future. ”
Zhang Xuanzong understands that Lord Xiao also saw this, so he had to bow his head, but this kind of person has never been what Zhang Zhendu can see, and if he changes himself, he may have the same choice, but he himself can't agree with this approach, it's nothing more than that the situation is stronger than people, and he himself is no longer the vanguard who is only used to charge forward, and now his every move is too wide.
"If you don't have anything else to do, your subordinates will retire first, and it's time for your subordinates to clean up. As he spoke, a flash of sharpness flashed in Qiu Zhen's eyes.
If you want to say what shocked him the most tonight, it was not the town governor's knife, nor the boldness of the Xiao family, but that someone in his own guards actually betrayed, and he didn't even need any evidence, a group of six people could safely enter the town governor's mansion through heavy patrols, which was already a problem, not to mention that the hole was dug by the six dead people.
"Go ahead, and the Guards will be left to you. ”
After receiving Governor Zhang's reply, Qiu Zhen stood up and left, the first thing he had to do was to check the scene where Li Yu'er was found, and then return to the Guards camp to clean up his forces.
When Qiu Zhen came to the scene, No. 1's blood had dried up, most of the surrounding residents were closed, and some of the bold ones would peek over from time to time, and every time they wanted to get closer, they would be stopped by the fierce eyes of the soldiers. In the past, it was possible to hook shoulders, smoke and drink, but today there is no doubt that anyone who breaks through the blockade will be met with a sharp knife edge.
Qiu Zhen checked No. 1's severed right arm, the incision was very neat, and the knife was very fast, as for how fast it was, he couldn't judge from it, and Qiu Zhen didn't get any other clues. Qiu Zhen ordered someone to carry No. 1 away, and he also knew in his heart that unless the person who made the move came out by himself, he would not be able to find out.
After Li Yu'er woke up here, what caught her eye was Li Yun's little face with tears.
"Miss, are you awake, are you hungry, I'll go and bring the hot meal. ”
Li Yuer didn't answer, just struggled to sit up, but the wound on her right shoulder was affected, and the pain like pins and needles immediately came from the entire wrapped right arm. Li Yun hurriedly helped Li Yu'er, who was about to fall back: "Miss, don't move, the doctor said last night that your right shoulder should be restored for at least a month, and your right arm can't move casually for this month." ”
Suddenly, two figures outside entered the house, and they did not avoid the rudeness of the two big men entering the woman's bedroom.
Li Yuer saw the two people who came in, and at this moment, the clothes on the two of them didn't have time to change, and even Quan Zhenhu's body was stained with blood, and she knew in her heart at the moment that these two people might have been guarding outside since they came back.
Li Yuer said to Quan Zhenhu: "Brother Quan, how is your injury?"
Quan Zhenhu looked at this boss who was much younger than himself with a smile, and then replied: "I can't die yet, don't worry, it's just a pity for the two brothers of the Li family." Tian Hao next to him showed sadness on his face, he and the Li brothers knew each other earlier than others, and the deaths of the Li brothers had something to do with Tian Hao in the final analysis.
Li Yu'er saw that Tian Hao's expression was different, and hurriedly said: "Brother Tian, don't mind, you also fell for the other party's spell, this can't blame you." ”
"Miss doesn't need to comfort me, some things still need some time to solve, fortunately, someone in my field is not a person who drills the horns, and it should be fine after a while. Tian Hao looked at Li Yuer, who was completely awake on the bed, and felt a lot more relieved.
Before the four of them came, they deliberately explained that even if they didn't want anything, they had to ensure the life of Miss Li, and Tian Hao knew that although Quan Zhenhu worked in the Supervision Department, he had always been sent by the Li family to protect Li Yu'er, and this incident made the two masters feel great pressure.
"Since Master Li is fine, then Tian wants to go and see his friends. After speaking, Tian Hao didn't wait for everyone to respond, and left alone.
The people present didn't say anything, and everyone knew who Tian Hao's friend was.
As soon as Tian Hao left, Quan Zhenhu asked Li Yuer forcefully: "Miss, where are the things? Please give the things to me for safekeeping." Although Quan Zhenhu's words used the word please, Li Yuer and Li Yun didn't feel any room for negotiation.
"Brother Quan, I won't hand over things to you. Li Yu'er looked at this Quan Zhenhu firmly.
"Miss, you should actually hand over the things to the people who attacked last night, maybe they will let you go directly, maybe the Li brothers won't die. ”
"Take what Li Feng and Li Luan want to save with their lives, and gamble on a completely insecure hope? Do you think I might do this?" Li Yu'er's face was resolute at the moment, and she was no longer an injured little girl, but a senior official in charge of intelligence in the Supervision Department.
Quan Zhenhu looked at Li Yuer in front of him, and felt that the old man who had led him into the Li family's compound was in front of him.
He sighed, knowing that he couldn't get what he wanted: "Miss, I think you still have to seize the only chance when necessary, even if there is little hope, if something really happens tonight, I'm afraid I won't have to go back to see the master." ”
Li Yu'er actually understood in her heart that Quan Zhenhu had always put her safety above everything else, looking at this middle-aged man with a resolute face, her tone softened: "Don't worry, I won't give up any opportunity." Brother Quan, your injuries are also very serious, go back and rest, after last night's incident, the current town governor's mansion is probably the safest place in the seven provinces of the Southern Regions. ”
Quan Zhenhu touched the wound on his waist, and then got up and went back.
