Section 108 Chapter 108 A small clue

It is said that Huo Qingsong's appearance is not inferior to Liao Wenbo, and he is much more masculine than Liao Wenbo. But Huo Qingsong always kept a straight face, giving people a very cold feeling. Now his face is like Huo Qingsong covered with a black cloth, and his whole body still exudes a cold air, which is really not ordinary scary.

Qingya looked a little shaky under Huo Qingsong's direct gaze. After Huo Qingsong finished speaking, Qingya bit her lip and saluted him, and immediately got into Liao Wenbo's carriage. However, whether Qingya followed Huo Qingsong's 'advice' is another story.

Watching the carriage slowly move away, Huo Qingsong turned his head to look at Huo Bao. Huo Bao immediately pointed in several directions and quickly told Huo Qingsong what had just happened, as well as the route of the retreat of the man in black. Although Huo Qingsong was listening, he could tell from the change in his face that he was suppressing himself.

When Huo Bao finished speaking, Huo Qingsong said quickly: "Five people in a team, chase along those directions." When Captain Fang arrives with someone, he will go to meet you. ”

"Yes—" The words fell, and the soldiers were trained to run into the woods.

Huo Qingsong didn't even look at those government soldiers, and walked around slowly by himself, checking every place. In the end, even the place where the man in black began to rush out, Huo Qingsong carefully checked. In the meantime, Fang Zhe rushed here with several teams of government soldiers. Under Huo Bao's brief narration for the second time, Fang Zhe did not disturb Huo Qingsong and assigned his own manpower to pick up the previous people. Then, Fang Zhe divided the rest of the people into several teams again, and searched in a few more directions. After that, Fang Zhe also looked around like Huo Qingsong to see if he could find any clues.

"Fang Zhe, come here and have a look." Huo Qingsong knew that Fang Zhe had already come, but he had been checking and didn't talk to him.

Fang Zhe saw Huo Qingsong squatting in the grass, and immediately ran over with Huo Bao. On the dirt in front of Huo Qingsong, there is a piece of color that is not in harmony with the surroundings. Look at this small piece of pressed grass, it should have been stepped on and rubbed off the sole of the shoe.

"What kind of powder does it look like?" Fang Zhe dipped a little bit with his index finger, put it closer to his eyes and looked at it seriously, and continued: "However, I don't recognize what it is for the time being. ”

Huo Qingsong nodded, straightened up, and said in a deep voice: "Take it back to Zhechong Mansion and find out what it is as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Fang Zhe recruited a government soldier, carefully dug out this small area, and followed Huo Qingsong back to Zhichong Mansion.

As soon as Huo Qingsong entered the Zhechong Mansion, he asked where Lu Hong was, and hurriedly walked over. Although Lu Hong is only Lu Xiang'er's brother and is not so familiar with Huo Qingsong, Huo Qingsong is really a little anxious about his injury, and he doesn't know what the reason is. And when Huo Qingsong just walked into a small courtyard, he saw Chaoxia standing at the door with an expressionless face. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chaoxia turned her head. The calmness in her eyes made Huo Qingsong unable to see anything, but it also made him secretly frightened.

Chaoxia waited for Huo Qingsong to approach, and asked softly, "Is Xiang'er really kidnapped?" ”

Hearing this, Huo Qingsong's expression paused slightly, and then he nodded slowly. Chaoxia looked at Huo Qingsong for a long time before she said with certainty: "I don't know where Xiang'er was arrested now, right?" ”

"Not bad. However, we have found a little clue and I believe that there will be good news soon. Huo Qingsong thought of today's incident, and felt very uncomfortable, as if his plans were all expected by the other party. It can also be said that it was Huo Qingsong's carelessness that allowed Lu Xiang'er to be taken away. If he had been more careful and sent some government soldiers to escort Lu Xiang'er, these things would definitely not have happened.

The changes in Huo Qingsong's eyes, Chaoxia saw very clearly. So, what she wanted to say was changed to "In that case, I hope you can tell me as soon as you get the good news." ”

"Yes." Huo Qingsong felt Chaoxia's gaze in his heart, nodded and raised his feet to continue walking towards the house. Chaoxia didn't stop it, nor did she say anything again, and let Huo Qingsong enter the house. But she herself went to the pavilion in the corner of the courtyard and sat down, waiting for news from the house.

After Lu Hong was sent to Zhichong Mansion by the government soldiers, Chaoxia soon got the news. When she rushed to Lu Hong's side, Lu Hong was in a coma and had not yet woken up. Fortunately, an old man who was very old and seemed to be a skilled doctor, that is, Lang Zhong who had treated her before, quickly came to Zhichong Mansion.

After this Lang Zhong saw Lu Hong, he stroked his beard, and first looked at him with a smile in his eyes for a while, which made Chaoxia puzzled. Perhaps sensing Chaoxia's gaze, Lao Lang Zhong said that he had treated Lu Hong for typhoid fever before and recognized the two brothers and sisters of the Lu family. Chaoxia also heard Lu Xiang'er say that this old man was in the middle of the man, so she withdrew her gaze.

An hour later, Huo Qingsong and Lao Langzhong walked out of the house. When the two saw the morning glow in the courtyard, they both nodded to her before continuing to walk out of the courtyard together. Chaoxia found Lao Langzhong's soothing expression, and understood that Lu Hong's life was not in danger, and she was relieved.

When she came to the door of Lu Hong's house, Chaoxia found that two government soldiers were changing out of Lu Hong's bloodstained robes, so she stopped outside the door. When they came out of the room, Chaoxia raised her feet again and entered the room and came to Lu Hong's bed.

At this time, Lu Hong's upper body was naked, most of them were wrapped in strips of cloth, and his face was as pale as when Chaoxia was injured. However, Lu Hong's expression was not as calm as the one when Chaoxia was injured. Even in a coma, Lu Hong's brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had something difficult to understand.

How could Chaoxia not know what Lu Hong was thinking, she was worried about Lu Xiang'er like Lu Hong. But Lu Xiang'er was taken away, and she didn't know where she was taken, and Chaoxia didn't know where to look for it at this moment. With a slight sigh, Chaoxia covered Lu Hong with a thin quilt and prepared to get up and leave.

But Lu Hong, who was in a coma, seemed to be aware of everything, grabbed Chaoxia's hand, opened his eyes wide, and shouted, "Xiang'er...... Hey......" As soon as Lu Hong was about to get up, he felt a huge pain in his right armpit hit his whole body, making him have to scream and lie back again.

"Brother Hong, don't move. Your wound has just been medicated, you have to lie down and heal your wound. Chaoxia waited for Lu Hong to reach out to cover his armpits, and immediately grabbed his hand to prevent him from moving.

The indescribable pain made Lu Hong quickly wake up, and he heard the familiar voice and took a closer look. Finding out that it was Chaoxia, who had been missing for many days, Lu Hong became excited again. But as soon as he wanted to move, he found that Chaoxia's eyes immediately swept over, and Lu Hong was honest.

However, when Lu Hong thought that Lu Xiang'er was kidnapped in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but have a sour nose and muttered: "Sister Chaoxia, I didn't protect Xiang'er and let her be taken away." I'm not a good brother, I didn't protect Xiang'er at the first time, I ......" As he spoke, the corners of Lu Hong's eyes actually moistened, and he couldn't go on anymore.

Chaoxia understood what kind of treatment Lu Hong, who was most worried about being kidnapped, what kind of treatment Lu Xiang'er would receive. He didn't dare to think or say it, so he was so sad. But now, what Chaoxia can do is to stabilize Lu Hong's heart first, so that he can settle down and recuperate. Otherwise, on this hot day, Lu Hong's injury will not be easy to heal.

Thinking about it, Chaoxia lowered her voice: "Brother Hong, don't worry now. Those people just want to get the soju process, and they will definitely be courteous to Xiang'er at the beginning. Moreover, General Huo has already found some clues, and I believe that we will rescue Xiang'er soon, and Xiang'er will definitely come back safely. ”

"Sister Chaoxia, General Huo really found a clue, you didn't lie to me?" Listening to Chaoxia's words, Lu Hong's eyes lit up. But he still couldn't believe it, and looked at Chaoxia and waited for her to affirm again. Now Lu Hong has no more stable appearance, like a child without ideas.

Chaoxia thought about Huo Qingsong's words, nodded and said, "Brother Hong, don't you still know me, when did I tell a lie." ”

"Oh, Sister Chaoxia, I see." Lu Hong's heart calmed down a little, but when he thought of something, he raised his eyes again and said, "Sister Chaoxia, go and see if General Huo has any news of Xiang'er, I will definitely recover from my injuries." I just want to let me know as soon as Chaoxia has news of Xiang'er. ”

"I'm relieved that you can think so. If you recuperate in peace, I'll go to the front and take a look. When Chaoxia heard the footsteps, she understood that the two soldiers who took care of Lu Hong had returned. Someone took care of Lu Hong, so that he could honestly recuperate from his injuries, and Chaoxia could also go to find clues to rescue Lu Xiang'er with peace of mind.

Just as Chaoxia walked out of the courtyard, the soldiers who were tracking the 'Chen Wangyu Party' outside Jiangling City also came back one after another. Seeing their guilty looks, Huo Qingsong couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart anymore, and suddenly got up and walked around the study.

Seeing Huo Qingsong's 'storm coming' face, Fang Zhe took a step forward and said stubbornly: "General, although the subordinates did not catch up with the 'Chen Wangyu Party', the subordinates have confidence and certainty. They must have been in Gangneung Mansion and were not hiding outside the city. ”

"Oh, tell me about it." When Huo Qingsong heard Fang Zhe's words, he instantly raised his head and looked at him. Fang Zhe swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said carefully: "Within a hundred miles to the north of Jiangling, there are mountains and wilderness, and there is no hiding place that can accommodate more than ten people. It is also impossible for them to hide in the mountains without being discovered by their subordinates. Moreover, the powder found by the general could not have come from the mountains. ”

"What do you mean, they are still in the city of Gangneung, and they have a safe hiding place." After Huo Qingsong finished speaking, he lowered his head and muttered something. After a while, he raised his head again and said, "You still have to ask people to clear what those powders are as soon as possible, and I will go to Lord Thorn Shi's mansion." During this time, if you find anything, you have to send someone to find me. ”
