Chapter 174: Capture the Thief
After the three officials discussed, although they felt that Yang Ling was a little alarmist, they still decided to go back and report to the county magistrate.
Yang Ling drove the car and continued to walk in the direction of White Horse Town.
Qu Xiaobai was still pillowed on his lap, but he was already sleepy.
"Is it really dead again?" She asked.
Yang Ling said: "Approximately." Someone took this opportunity to get out of the shell of the golden cicada, and the one that was replaced was naturally a dead end. ”
"Could it be a murderer?"
"It depends on the results of the prefectural magistrate's investigation."
Yang Ling's car was still very slow and steady, and after Qu Xiaobai was worried for a while, he felt that Yang Ling was there, so he could rest assured, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Back at the Qingyun Inn, it was already the end of the child's time, and there was only one young man left in the inn, except for the young man, it was Yang Chun, who was like a cockfight.
Hearing the movement outside, Yang Chun hurriedly ran out, and saw that it was indeed Yang Ling and Qu Xiaobai who had returned, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
A lot of the previous ones were acting, but tonight's worries about the two of them are real. He didn't know the origin of that assassination, but he knew in his heart that it meant that someone wanted the lives of Yang Ling and Qu Xiaobai.
"Are you alright?" He rushed up, and was about to ask loudly, when he found Qu Xiaobai asleep in Yang Ling's arms, and his voice froze and turned into a soft and light word.
Yang Ling tugged at the corners of his lips, which was a reply, and went to the backyard without stopping with Qu Xiaobai in his arms, Yang Chun followed, and saw him carrying Qu Xiaobai upstairs, and was stunned in the courtyard for a while before returning to his room.
Qu Xiaobai slept dark and sweet, Yang Ling carried her upstairs, and she was unconscious when she put her on the bed. Yang Ling and Yi closed their eyes next to her, knowing that it would not be too peaceful tonight, so they didn't plan to sleep, just took a little rest.
In Qingshan County, the county commander Guo Jiutai also did not return to the rear office to rest. After Yang Ling's carriage and horses left, he immediately ordered the officials around him: "Follow up." ”
More than a dozen officials quietly followed Yang Ling's carriage.
Guo Jiutai also joined them, not far and not close to Yang Ling's carriage.
Out of Qingshan County, the carriage entered the wilderness trail, and soon, one person was left behind. The man walked faster and faster, and gradually approached Guo Jiutai and his party.
Guo Jiutai ordered people to lay an ambush on both sides of the road.
When people come to the eyes, through the faint starlight, they can see that it is Zhao Daniu in the official service, and he is usually the most lazy and slippery. Yang Ling's carriage was already moving very slowly, but it was surprising that he could still fall behind.
Zhao Daniu gradually entered the encirclement. Guo Jiutai made a gesture to the officials: "Surround it!" ”
The official who had rushed back because of Yang Ling's suggestion had just arrived, and saw Guo County Commander who was gesticulating, "My lord! The official shouted loudly.
More than a dozen officials were surrounding Zhao Daniu, gradually narrowing the encirclement, Zhao Daniu heard the shout, turned his head and was about to run, the officials rushed up, strange to say, this is usually the most useless Zhao Daniu, but in a moment it seemed to have changed a person, the body was violent, not only dodged the siege of so many people, but also pulled out the sword in the sheath, and slashed at the officials at a very fast speed!
Two of the officers could not dodge, and they bore the brunt of his sword and fell to the ground on the spot.
Guo Jiutai ordered on the periphery: "Take him down!" ”
The officials attacked again, and among these officials of Guo Jiutai, several of them used to be swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, and their kung fu was not weak, but after being caught off guard by Zhao Daniu, they immediately cheered up and concentrated on dealing with it, and they did not fall behind.
"Who the hell are you, report your name! What happened to the real Zhao Da Niu by you? Guo Jiutai shouted sharply on the periphery.
Only then did the officials understand that the person in front of them was not the real Zhao Daniu at all. So who is this person?
This man's moves were ruthless, and his moves were all for his life, and the officials fell down several times, and they had to rush up on full alert.
Suddenly a strong wind swept over the path, and then a figure swept into the battle, the night was dark, this person was also dressed in black and masked, he couldn't see who it was, but his martial arts were extremely powerful, three or five times, several officials died under his sword.
Guo Jiutai in the distance was really panicked.
In the past few days, there have been many major cases in White Horse Town, and he can deal with them calmly, but now this situation is so dangerous that he may lose his life at any time, and the fear in his heart is like mushrooms after a rain, growing and spreading rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He couldn't help but step back.
In the distance, suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves, the sound was very fast, but it was very neat, and it sounded like there were thousands of horses.
The sound of horses' hooves instantly came to his eyes, passing by Guo Jiutai, and with a little light, Guo Jiutai saw that there were actually only a dozen horses, but he ran out of the feeling of thousands of horses, which can only be done by military horses.
He saw that the men on horseback were indeed all in armor.
More than a dozen horses surrounded the two people, and the spears were all pierced at the two people, impenetrable, and one of the two people protected the person who turned into Zhao Daniu, "Lord, go quickly!" ”
The figure of the person who turned into Zhao Daniu was extremely slippery, and when his footsteps slipped, the whole person fell to the ground and slipped out of the encirclement of the spear, but the spear immediately changed direction and trapped him again.
In just a dozen rounds, the spear was around the necks of the two of them, and neither of them could move.
"Tie up!"
One of them spoke in a majestic voice.
Five or six people jumped down on horseback, divided by two, and tied up the two of them, and by the way, they stuffed a cloth ball into their mouths, and didn't even let them speak.
Guo Jiutai was a little trembling, but he still stepped forward and hugged his fists, "Dare to ask your military masters ......"
"Under the command of the Border Military Supervisor, Zhang Ningfei, Guo County ordered to bring a message to Lu Wu, Xiao Chuyi has fallen into the hands of General Mu, he is the next Xiao Chuyi!"
"Dare to ask Zhang Junye, ...... is this Lu Wu"
"Isn't it in Whitehorse under your rule? Please tell Guo County Ling on his behalf, let him wash his head and wait, the grandfathers will come to him soon! ”
"But ......" Guo Jiutai had to ask who Lu Wu was, but Zhang Ningfei had already ordered the team to be closed, and more than a dozen soldiers pressed the captured two people on horseback, as fast as the wind and clouds when they came, and the team quickly disappeared into the night.
Guo Jiutai trembled and straightened out his remaining servants, more than a dozen servants, five or six were injured, three died, and the rest were more or less slightly injured, leaving a few people to deal with the scene, he took two people and hurried to White Horse Town.
The east gradually revealed the white belly of the fish, the sky turned from black to gray, and in the twilight, Guo Jiutai smashed the door of Qingyun Inn.
The young man rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the door, "Who, so early!" ”
As soon as the door opened, he saw that it was the county magistrate, and he hurriedly invited him in respectfully, but the young man didn't quite understand why the county magistrate was embarrassed, his face was full of mud, and his hair was scattered, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was like a flower on the street.
"Why are you so early?" The sentence "embarrassed" came to his mouth, and Shengsheng was replaced with the word "early", and the young man was also clever.
"How many more servants are in your shop, they all shout." Before Guo Jiutai got inside, he ordered, "By the way, bring me a glass of water first." ”
The young man hurriedly held a pot of tea with cold grain, and Guo Jiutai poured it into the spout, "By the way, take out the list of guests in your store and show it to the county." ”
Before the young man could go inside, he was called out again, "The list is from the shopkeeper, my lord, I'm sorry." ”
"What about your shopkeeper? Scream! ”
"Hey, the little one is going to call it."
The young man was awake in an instant, but he couldn't keep his legs and feet busy, running back and forth, sweating profusely, and finally gathered the people he wanted for him.
"Are there only a few of you in White Horse Town?" Guo Jiutai looked at the few people who were still sleepy-eyed, with an angry face.
"There are also those on the post, and the other shifters are resting in other inns, there are more than twenty in total."
"Find it! Except for those who guard the intersection, they are all here! ”
"Yes!"
The officials dispersed in a hurry and hurried out.
I have never seen Lord Guo, who has always been strict with himself and regards his image as his life, so he naturally hurriedly obeyed his orders.
The shopkeeper hurriedly took out the list he wanted and handed it to him, he flipped it over, and he didn't see it when he called Lu Wu, and those who were called Lu Xiaowu, Lu Hun, and Lu Xiaoxiao, all of them were surnamed Lu.
"Call these people surnamed Lu to the county."
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, "My lord, this is ...... I haven't woken up yet. Can you wait? ”
"If you want to call it, you will call it, with this county here, what are you afraid of?"
"No, my lord, the small shop will have to do business in the future, this offends the guests, and our jobs will be ruined."
"Believe it or not, this county can make you lose the guy who eats now!"
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he quickly covered his head, "The little one will go, this will go." ”
"By the way, call those two surnamed Mu and Chu Zhi!"
"Gotcha."
The shopkeeper knew that he couldn't afford to provoke anyone, but Guo County Ling couldn't afford to provoke him, so he knocked on the door one by one, and explained in a low voice that the county magistrate was invited.
There was no one who embarrassed him, and soon, they were all gathered in the lobby.
Yang Ling also came, but Qu Xiaobai slept in a mess, he thought about it and didn't wake her up. He was very pleased that she could sleep no matter what the circumstances, but sleeping like this really made people cry and laugh.
When he went to the front and saw that the important people were there, he found a stool and sat down, took the teapot on the table, and instructed the man: "Go and make a pot of spring sprouts." ”
The young man quickly took the pot and went away.
Guo Jiutai said: "I gathered everyone here to ask if there is one of you named Lu Wu." ”
Everyone's expressions were very light.
Lu Xiaoxiao said leisurely: "There are people with the surname Lu, but the one named Lu Wu doesn't know." ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but General Mu of the Border Army asked the county to bring a message to Lu Wu, Xiao Chuyi has fallen into the hands of General Mu, and you are the next Xiao Chuyi! General Mu has washed your head and waited, they will come to you soon. ”
Guo Jiutai quickly conveyed Zhang Ningfei's words, but the people present all looked at him blankly, and they didn't even move their eyes.
"Who are you Lu Wu?" Guo Jiutai saw that no one paid attention to him, and he couldn't help but be angry.
