Chapter Seventy-Three: Saving Lives

"Then you can send it quickly."

"Okay, then I'll go. Go and gather people. ”

"Are you stupid, still summoning people? Even if he has another face, can he still let us gather all the people? Don't think about it, you go and give this to the adults, and when the adults come, take the two of us to make up the number. ”

The officer with the token went in stupidly.

"Adults, small ones have something to report." , The little official was in front of Xu Tian's study and shouted.

At this time, Xu Tian's wife came over, "What are you shouting?" What to shout? Don't you know grandpa's habit of taking a nap? Also shout! ”

"Madam, here, someone sent a token for me to give to my lord, and asked us to gather people and find people."

When Mrs. Xu heard this, "Hmph, why don't I know, there are still people who dare to talk to our grandfather like this?" I really don't know whether to live or die, give me the token. ”

At this time, when the petty official heard this, he had no choice, after all, he still wanted to keep his job.

So he gave the token to Mrs. Xu.

When Mrs. Xu saw this token, it was quite heavy, so she quickly put it in her sleeve and turned around and went to the kitchen.

Lu Zhi and Zhu Chengyu here asked the people near the city gate one by one if they saw anyone who was different from usual. But the answer is no.

Lu Zhi still didn't give up and asked, and finally learned from an old woman selling fruit that some time ago, there were carriages out of the city.

When she passed by her stall, she also heard someone in the carriage struggling to shout for help, but only shouted and stopped.

Lu Zhi guessed that it was Su Qiqi and Qin Yue, so he hurriedly ran towards Zhu Chengyu and told him the news, and as soon as Zhu Chengyu heard it, these two people were going to go out of the city.

But Lu Zhi grabbed him, "Brother Zhu, we don't know where they are, where can we go to find them." ”

Only then did Zhu Chengyu remember that he had asked Xu Tian's people to come over to help, but he hadn't seen anyone yet, so he said to Lu Zhi, "Let's go, go to the prefect to find Xu Tian." He knows where for sure. ”

So the two of them hurriedly ran to the prefect again.

At this time, Mrs. Xu took the stewed lotus seed soup to the study to Xu Tian, who was sitting at the desk, holding a brush, not knowing what he was writing.

"Grandpa, come and drink this bowl of lotus seed soup." As he spoke, he took the lotus seed soup and put it on Xu Tian's table.

Who knew that the cuffs of the clothes were exposed, and the token fell down the way, "Bang dang." With a bang, it fell on the table.

Xu Tian heard the sound, so he raised his head, glanced at the token, lowered his head again, and continued to write, before the pen fell, he felt that the token was familiar.

So he raised his head again, picked up the token, and took a closer look, "Isn't this the token of the little marquis?" How did it end up here? ”

"How did you get this token?" Xu Tian looked at his wife and said nothing.

Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Tian so seriously and was frightened, "I didn't come much, that is, I just picked it up." ”

Xu Tian frowned and squinted his eyes slightly, "Picked it up?" I'll ask you one last time, how did this token come about? ”

Mrs. Xu was frightened by his stern voice, "This is, someone sent it at noon today, saying that you should be anxious about all the officials and go to save people." ”

"Master, who has such a big face, and still asks you to gather people?"

At this time, Xu Tian was in no mood to pay attention to his wife, he quickly put down his pen, walked to the door, and said before leaving, "If I lose this official position today, it will be you who are a loser." ”

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she sat on the ground in fright and cried, "I don't know, you still blame me." ”

Xu Tian hurriedly walked out of the room and called his entourage, "Go quickly, call all of our people." ”

"Huh? My lord, are you all called? What's going on at this point? ”

Xu Tian didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know what to say, and when he heard him ask, he was even more annoyed, "If you want to go, you can go, grind what, hurry up, let's stop doing it if it's slow." ”

As soon as the man heard that his job was not guaranteed, he hurried to gather people.

Before the people were gathered, Lu Zhi and Zhu Chengyu came over.

"Xu Tian, I asked you to gather people, where did you gather? Let me tell you, I see that you are the prefect of this city, I am polite to you, do you really think I am afraid of you? Believe it or not, I made it impossible for you to do it right away. ”

Zhu Chengyu saw that he had been looking for so long, but Xu Tian still didn't gather all the people, thinking that he didn't care, deliberately delayed, and said angrily.

"Little Hou Ye, Xiao Hou Ye, I didn't mean that, no, the people will be gathered immediately, let's go to save people first, and when we come back after saving people, you can deal with me as you say what you say about me."

I have to say that Xu Tian still has brains, knows the priorities of things, and knows that Zhu Chengyu can't deal with himself now.

"Hmph, let me tell you, if something goes wrong with Yueyue and Qiqi, I want you to look good." Zhu Chengyu sat with his hands and Xu Tian said.

"Yes, yes, little marquis. Do you know where they were caught? ”

"There's a carriage out of town today, it should be the same gang last night. The people of Heitianzhai. ”

"Do you know where their nest is?"

At this time, Xu Tian hurriedly replied, "I know, I know." We also followed them secretly for a long time before we found out where their nest was. ”

Zhu Chengyu looked at the people gathered behind Xu Tian, "Then don't you hurry up and leave, what are you rubbing?" ”

So the group hurried out of the city.

Zhu Chengyu and Lu Zhipao were at the front, but it was useless for them to run at the front, and they didn't know where the place was.

So the two of them turned around and dragged Xu Tian and ran together.

Finally, Xu Tian saw the dawn, "There, there, there." ”

Lu Zhi and Zhu Chengyu hurriedly ran forward and saw that there was no carriage with horses at the foot of the mountain, leaving only an empty carriage.

"This is it, let's go." Zhu Chengyu said that he was about to go up the mountain, but then Lu Zhi grabbed him, "Brother Zhu, don't worry, we haven't figured out the specific situation yet, and rushing up will only startle the grass and snakes." ”

So Zhu Chengyu stopped and turned around, "Then what do you say we should do?" ”

"Lord Xu, please lead the brothers into the mountain to search, remember, you must search carefully, draw their attention to you, the two of us quietly go up the mountain to see if we can find someone."

"Okay, Lu Zhi, just do as you say." Before Xu Tian could respond, Zhu Chengyu took the lead in answering.

Xu Tian had no choice but to take people up the mountain.

Xu Tian and the others entered the mountain, and they searched everywhere in the mountain, walking back and forth everywhere. As they walked, they watched vigilantly for anyone to show up.

At this moment, where they could not see, a figure flickered by.
