Chapter 114: Xue Wenyu Receives Bad News (Fifth Update)
The defender looked at the heavy bag in his hand and ignored him.
"If people give it generously, they will accept it, why are they so unkind." The other came over and reached out and pulled the money bag over.
Then, he hooked Xue Wenchen with his finger and motioned for him to come closer. "It's not easy to see you, I'll tell you the truth, don't ask, don't wait. Did you see that kid who went out of town before dark? ”
When Xue Wenchen heard this, he nodded, frowned, he saw the kid who went out of the city, and he didn't look like the woman surnamed Mu in disguise, isn't his height obviously wrong.
"Dude, what's going on, we guards don't know, but one thing can tell you for sure, that kid left with an amnesty order today, this is the first time in a few years that no one has been banned from coming out of the city, do you understand?
Where did you come from, hurry up and go back, don't wait. ”
Xue Wenchen was a little confused when he heard it, and he took the sign and handed it in, indicating that it was for Xue Shizi's son?
"Don't be foolish, we only recognize tokens, not people. As for how the token got into the person's hand, maybe it was robbed, maybe it was bought. Anyway, it will definitely not be our soldiers defending the city who have given their own decisions to others.
Last time, half of our brothers were sent to the border in a daze, so no one dared to mess around. The person holding the money bag patted Xue Wenchen on the shoulder and said.
Xue Wenchen's whole person was not good, what was going on inside, he couldn't find out if he gave a bag of silver.
"Otherwise, you guys go back and get a piece, there shouldn't be anything wrong next time, how can there be such an unlucky thing, right?" The talkative fritter soldier spoke again.
Xue Wenchen felt that his head was buzzing, his father had made so much effort to ask for a token, and the family had hired people from two dart bureaus with a lot of money, and they came non-stop along the way, but no one received it!
In fact, he is not the only one who is in a bad mood.
On the official road hundreds of miles away, a team of people and horses were also rushing non-stop, and the dust where they said it was flying, causing passers-by to curse, of course, they waited for the team to run away before they dared to speak.
It was a month ago when I received the news that someone was paying for his son's life with an amnesty decree.
According to the time calculation, when he received the news, it had been more than a month since the incident. I had already planned to leave for Beijing, but I didn't expect to receive such a news.
No matter how calm Xue Wenyu was, he also squirted out a mouthful of blood.
Immediately set off to rush back, even if it was too late, the child had already suffered a poisonous hand, he had to go back desperately, he wanted to wash the ghost city, the capital with blood, but anyone who was a little suspicious, he would not let go.
He will sacrifice the child, the poor child, with the blood of his enemies. It's so small, who is to provoke whom! These bastards don't even let go of a child.
Poof, another horse could not withstand the gallop day and night, and fell.
"Master, let's take a break, the horses we brought are gone. If it continues like this, it will not work, but it will delay time even more. Taking advantage of the gap in changing horses, Lin Chuan mustered up the courage to come forward and persuade.
Even if the master was angry and cut him down, he still had to say it.
Xue Wenyu had red eyes and looked around, and the people who followed him were dusty and gray-faced, and their mouths were all peeled because they hadn't drunk water for a long time.
Looking at those horses again, they are all war horses in the barracks, but they are also exhausted and unable to stand steadily.
"Let's rest for half a day." Xue Wenyu's voice was hoarse.
Lin Chuan saw that his master agreed, but he couldn't be happy, so he turned around and conveyed it to his brothers.
Everyone hurried to find firewood, hot dry food, water, horses, and forage.
Everyone was tired, but no one complained, only anger and hatred.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard not far away, and everyone looked alarmedly, and the horse was getting closer and closer, and when they saw them, they grabbed the reins violently.
"Where is the prince?" The man on the horse turned over and dismounted, and asked anxiously.
Someone pointed not far behind him, and the man hurried over and knelt down on one knee; "My subordinate Tong Yunsheng has seen my master."
"Are you Lao Hetou's subordinate?" Xue Wenyu thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, my subordinates are." The man responded, taking out a leaf-shaped silver medal from his bosom and placing the side with his name and number facing up.
This is the person Xue Wenyu left thousands of miles away in the capital, and without Xue Wenyu's warrant, they will not show up.
The old river head I just mentioned is the steward over there, holding a gold leaf card in his hand.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Xue Wenyu asked with a blank expression, could it be the result he was most afraid of hearing?
"It was the river steward who ordered his subordinates to come over, because he received the news that the people of the Black Horse branch had accidents one after another and were intercepted and killed by unknown people, and the river steward was afraid that the news would not be transmitted, so he disobeyed your order and asked his subordinates to come over." Tong Yunsheng reported truthfully.
Looking at his lips, which were also chapped, and he was also in a hurry like himself, Xue Wenyu nodded and motioned for him to get up and reply, and he didn't mean to be punished.
The dark horse is a team of people who are specifically responsible for delivering news of the capital to Xue Wenyu, and he temporarily transferred people to form it before he left Beijing, a total of six people.
One of them, who was now in the team, had returned with him after the news had been delivered.
No wonder, I never heard from me since, I see! Xue Wenyu's heart sank, those people had followed him for a few years.
"Tell me, what news have you brought to this seat today?" Xue Wenyu had prepared for the worst.
"The matter of the ghost city is over, and the little boy and the young lady are safe and sound. When the steward received the news, he asked his subordinates to come, for fear that the prince would be anxious. Tong Yunsheng hurriedly got down to business.
When Xue Wenyu heard this, he stepped forward, grabbed Tong Yunsheng's clothes, and asked sentence by sentence; "You're telling me again."
He didn't want anything to happen to the child, but he knew what was going on in the ghost city, what kind of people were inside, and how tempting the amnesty was for those people. So, when he heard the good news from his subordinates, he didn't believe it!
Tong Yunsheng looked at his master nervously; "The little boy and his wife are safe and sound." No matter how nervous you are, you know what the master wants to hear the most.
"Brother Hui is okay? Brother Hui is really fine, how is it possible? Xue Wenyu let go of his subordinates and muttered to himself in disbelief.
frightened the subordinates around him, all around, not knowing what bad news his people brought this time, which stimulated the master crazy.
"The prince forgives the sin, the river steward told his subordinates so much, the specific subordinates really don't know, the subordinates directly took a shortcut and rushed over, no, I didn't go to the ghost city to check the authenticity." Tong Yunsheng stumbled and said.
"Master, the river steward is the most calm, you know it. Since he ordered someone to send a letter, it should not be wrong. ”
"That is, the little boy is a person with great fortune and great fate, and he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune."
"yes, don't we have someone to dredge the inside and take care of it."
"Maybe it's Concubine Yi, she won't stand idly by."
Several of his subordinates understood and hurriedly persuaded their masters.
Listening to this is really great news, and his subordinates are also persuading, Xue Wenyu shook his head, his sister is favored again. However, her kind and simple sister can dredge the people in the ghost city to take care of the child, and when it comes to resolving this crisis, she really doesn't have that ability.
So, what's going on this time? Xue Wenyu fell into deep thought......
