Chapter 1039: Guards
"Yes!" Ma Cheng shouted loudly, and immediately sent troops and horses to outflank both sides of Huichuan County.
Li Qitian was in a hurry at this time.
When he first got the news of the treasure, Li Qitian also doubted whether it would be a fake news sent by someone with bad intentions, specifically to lure him out of the capital.
But he was reluctant to give up this opportunity after all.
What if the treasure is real?
If he doesn't go, will the treasure really fall into the hands of Lu Heng?
Lu Heng can conceal this news, who knows what his plans are! Moreover, Qian Ying has always been his trusted courtier, and he has a wide range of contacts, and one of his staff advisers learned about Lu Heng's actions from various channels, and he told him that his master did not know.
If this news is not true, he will at most run for nothing, and if it is true, his current crisis of empty treasury and exhaustion of internal funds will be solved!
Li Qitian became more and more convinced of the correctness of this trip, and his eyes became more eager.
The team rushed forward for a moment, and the buildings of Huichuan County became clearer and clearer in the open plain under the scorching midday sun.
Li Qitian raised his horsewhip and was about to move, but he saw a man and a rider coming quickly from the opposite side.
The man was dressed in a dark blue short, with high hair, a square face, and an ordinary appearance, and he was a master who could not be found if he threw it into the pile.
It was an agent under Li Qitian, named Zhu Meng.
"Holy!"
Li Qitian slowed down his pace, and the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses behind him also slowed down, and the dirt road was blown up by the strong wind and dust, which made people squint, but behind the Son of Heaven, these cavalrymen all had clean faces, and did not make the slightest sound except for the sound of horses' hooves.
The fast horse rushed to the front, Li Qitian stopped the red horse, and the horse whip came a little bit, "Hurry up!" ”
Zhu Mengfei dismounted, knelt on one knee and clenched his fists, "See the Holy Lord, the last batch of stones from the stone factory has been sent out from the south gate and headed straight for Wanzhou Town." ”
Li Qitian sneered, "It's really better to come early than to come by coincidence." Come! Pursue with me! ”
"Yes!"
The rest of the soldiers responded in unison.
Li Qitian turned to Ma Cheng and instructed: "You go into the city, and control Huichuan County for the time being, you don't have to do unnecessary actions." The important thing is to give me a good look at the loyal and righteous uncle! ”
Ma Cheng's heart jumped, and he had a vague premonition that the world was about to be in chaos. He hurriedly suppressed his cranky thoughts, and saluted, "The minister's order!" ”
Li Qitian hurriedly led a thousand soldiers and horses to bypass Huichuan County and chased straight in the direction of Wanzhou Town.
Ma Cheng ordered the lieutenant general to surround Huichuan County, and on the other hand, he sent troops and horses to prepare to bring them into the city.
Seeing a group of soldiers and horses coming straight towards the city gate, the people who entered and exited the city were frightened to the side, and the city gate officer saw that the person who came was the cavalry of the five military camps, and knew that something must have happened, so he hurriedly opened the city gate and quietly retreated to the side.
At this time, it is the busiest time in Huichuan County, and the women holding the vegetable baskets and the burden of business walk on both sides of the street.
Everyone was worried, frowning and whispering about today's food prices.
In the middle of the city, there was a long queue in front of the rice line, winding two streets straight.
In late autumn, the sun was shining in the main house, and the people were squinting in the sun.
As soon as the cavalry led by Ma Cheng entered the city, they frightened the people on the road and stumbled to avoid both sides of the road. Seeing the cavalry rushing forward, everyone panicked.
The women gathered together in horror and whispered:
"What's going on here? What is the court going to do again! ”
"How do you see that these soldiers are going in the direction of the county government?"
"Lu Zhixian, which nobleman in the court has been offended, right?"
……
Ma Cheng couldn't help but pout when he heard the people's discussions.
Didn't you offend the nobles, and this time the loyal and righteous uncle was the most expensive one in this dynasty!
The soldiers and horses quickly surrounded the government office, and the soldiers rushed to the government one by one, and the soldiers asked loudly.
"What people! Dare to come to the Yamen to spread wild! ”
Ma Cheng came quickly with a knife in one hand, and said loudly: "Give me some points!" I will come here under the command of the Holy Lord, and if anyone dares to resist, they will all be regarded as treason! ”
The officers were stunned for a moment.
The sergeants from the five military camps had their own evil spirits, all like wolves and tigers, and the officers didn't want to make any trouble to involve their families, so they naturally stood aside quietly and waited anxiously for Ma Cheng to speak.
"General, I didn't find it!" Someone was ordered to go in and search, but Lu Heng's person was not found.
Ma Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately glared at the servant viciously, and asked, "Where is the loyal and righteous uncle!" ”
Some of the servants hesitated, but some judged the situation and said, "It seems that Mrs. Bo has something to do, and Uncle Zhongyi is in a hurry to go home." ”
Ma Cheng immediately ordered some of the people to stay in the yamen, and the remaining part went straight to the Zhongyi Uncle's mansion.
Lu Heng did go back to the house at this time, but it was not because Bian Ruohan had something to do, but because the general situation had been decided, he had not closed his eyes to rest for many days, and he always felt nervous in the yamen, and he couldn't sleep, so he wanted to go home and sleep well.
Bian Ruohan was flattered when he knew that Lu Heng was back, and hurriedly ordered: "Prepare the dishes that Uncle likes to eat." ”
I hurriedly checked in the mirror, and chose a favorite hairpin with a flower head to put on, mended rouge, and applied lipstick, and then the corners of my skirt flew to the study in the outer courtyard.
Who knew that when he came to the courtyard where the study was located, he was stopped by Lu Wenru and others.
"Madam, my uncle has been tired for many days, and he has just fallen asleep."
Bian Ruohan lowered his face coldly, "Uncle comes back to the house, even if he wants to rest, he has to go back to the inner house, how can he rest here?" You dog minion, aren't you teasing me! ”
Lu Wenru is the long-term entourage of Lu Heng, and he is the most decent, but Bian Ruohan opens his mouth and closes his mouth to call the dog minion, which is really unpleasant.
It's just that Lu Wenru is gentle and rational by nature, and he knows that the uncle in front of him is a broken family, and even she is right in front of the uncle, and he can't quarrel with the main mother as he is.
Lu Wenru had no choice but to give up his hand and say, "Madame, please go back." Uncle is really tired, it's easy to fall asleep at this time, Mrs. should hurt Uncle, don't disturb his good sleep. ”
Bian Ruohan felt that he had been humiliated, and immediately his face turned purple with anger, pointed at Lu Wenru, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you dead minion!" How dare you ......"
Who knew that before she finished speaking, there was a sudden "boom" behind her, Bian Ruohan screamed in fright, and hid behind the maid in a panic.
Lu Wenru was shocked, and hurriedly led people to leave the courtyard and walk towards the gate, and before he got closer, he saw that the black lacquer door was hit again, and there was a dull "boom", and the two door panels were collapsed by the hard bang, and the door door and the long-term worker were scared stupid.
The soldiers in the uniforms of the five military camps rushed in, and at this moment, Lu Wenru didn't have time to react at all, and was pressed to the ground in the blink of an eye amid the screams of the servants.
Raising his head with difficulty, Lu Wenru saw a middle-aged general with a tiger on his back coming with a knife, and when he got closer, he recognized the person.
This man is the governor of the East Road of the Fifth Military Camp. Someone who is relied on by the Holy One!
The black combat boots stopped in front of him, and Ma Cheng's voice was deep: "The Holy Will, surround the Lu Mansion, where is the loyal and righteous uncle!" ”
Lu Wenru's heart jumped.
It's broken, it's not good! The saint was in such a hurry to come, as if he was raiding the house, and he couldn't even wait to knock on the door and came directly, could it be that what the uncle did in private leaked out! Aren't things going in the direction they least want?
Lu Heng was woken up by her sharp shouting as early as when Bian Ruohan was approaching, but he was too lazy to pay attention to Bian Ruohan, and when he met, he had to talk to each other, so he blinded the cold quilt and didn't bother to pay attention to it.
When he was so tired that he couldn't find a safe place to sleep, Lu Heng had a nameless fire in his heart, and even wanted to kill people irritably.
But at this moment, there was still someone banging on the door outside!
Lu Heng was furious, put on his robe and rushed out with his shoes on, "It's against you!" Who'......"
The second half of the reprimand choked in his throat, and seeing the cavalry of the five military battalions swarming in, Lu Heng's anger and drowsiness were poured with cold water at the same time.
Ma Cheng strode over, clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said with a smile: "Loyalty, righteousness, and Bo'an are good." The last general was ordered to come to protect the safety of the loyal and righteous uncle, and asked the loyal and righteous uncle to rest in the house, and you should not come out without the order of the saint. ”
The voice fell, and before Lu Heng could react, Ma Cheng snorted at the person behind him,
More than a dozen people immediately rushed in behind him, and directly pushed Lu Heng to the bedroom.
Bian Ruohan squatted behind the pillars, and when he saw that Lu Heng was arrested, he immediately screamed and jumped out, and he didn't care about being afraid, and said indignantly: "What are you people doing!" Who knows if you are really ordained or if you are falsely proclaimed! This is Zhongyibo, a celebrity in front of the saint! Who do you see who I am? I'm Concubine Zhuang's sister! A royal relative of the Eight Classics! ”
Ma Chengpi bared his teeth without smiling, "No matter who you are, aren't you a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty?" How can the Holy Commandment be so questioned? Mrs. Zhongyi Bo should stop a little, so that everyone will not be troubled, and you will be able to suffer less crimes. ”
"You!" Bian Ruohan was furious, but he couldn't find the words to refute for a while, and he was deeply afraid.
Ma Cheng saw that Lu Heng didn't mean to defend Bian Ruohan at all, but he still looked bored, thinking of the honor and disgrace between Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Heng with disdain.
This is also a man?
Whether you like it or not, your woman quarreled with her foreign man. Shouldn't the gentleman speak out to defend it?
Looking at Lu Heng's bedclothes, a random robe outside, and this is the outer courtyard of the Lu family, you can know that Lu Heng is sleeping in the outer courtyard.
"Since Mrs. Zhongyibo is also here, then invite Mrs. Zhongyibo into the house." Ma Cheng saw that Lu Heng didn't like Bian Ruohan, so he wanted to lock Bian Ruohan with him more and more.
Where does Lu Heng have time to think about other things at this time, under the extreme lack of sleep, his brain is a little sluggish, and he finally figured it out.
The Holy One has ordered someone to guard him, and his great affairs must have been exposed!
