Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 140 The Art of Divination
This time, the losses in Huangsha County can be described as extremely heavy, the people who stayed in the county government office that night, except for Lu Yi and the Ma family brothers, there was no one alive, all of them were killed in the hands of these damn bandits, not only that, but even the soldiers stationed at the north city gate last night were all killed, and the pensions to be arranged here and outside are actually just small things, and more importantly, as soon as this incident came out, it made the people in the city panic, and now that Gu Xuanren is not there, Lu Yi can only appease the people alone.
Fortunately, he has finally established prestige in the hearts of the people of Huangsha County these days, and with Zhu Dachun, a speech at the entrance of the vegetable market finally calmed the restless people in the city, and because his eloquence is so good, it has aroused the hearts of the people in the city to hate the enemy, even Gu Xuan's temporary departure is said to be the prince's heart for the people of Huangsha County, vowing to live and die with Huangsha County, so he was alone and went to the county town to find the court to borrow troops, and the support of the people in the city for the county government has reached an unprecedented peak, and finally temporarily solved the problem of the people's trust in the courtγ
Historically, as a high-ranking person, whether or not he can fool the people below is the decisive factor in whether he can maintain the rule of his subordinates, but if Gu Xuan has been delayed in returning, something will happen sooner or later, and now it is only temporarily appeased.
After arranging this side, and asked Zhu Dachun, who had not slept all the time, to hurry up and rest first, Lu Yi began to mobilize personnel in the dilapidated county government, first filling in the important positions that were missing because of the death, and then directing people to repair the damaged places due to the fighting.
Everything has been arranged in an orderly manner, it can be said that if there is no Lu Yi here, once Gu Xuan leaves, the entire county government is afraid that it will immediately fall into a state of paralysis, which shows how important an excellent internal affairs talent is to the construction of a place.
On the other hand, by the time Jinglong woke up again, the time had already come to the next day.
Even the doctors who treated him in the city said that he was hung purely by breath, and whether he survived or not was left to fate, and now he was able to wake up so quickly, which can only be described as a miracle.
When Jinglong finally opened his eyes, what caught his eyes was the dilapidated beams on the top of the bedpost, and his mind was still a little confused, and he almost subconsciously shouted.
"Lord Wang!"
He lifted the quilt covering his body and wanted to get up from the bed, but as soon as he moved, the wound on his body that had been bandaged began to burst and bleed rapidly, and even Jinglong, an iron-beaten man, couldn't help but snort in pain, and could only lie down on the soft bed weakly, unable to move for a long time.
Jinglong lay helplessly on the bed, gasping for air as he began to quickly recall what had happened before.
At the beginning, he and the prince rode horses on the way back to Huangsha County from Kanmeng'an, and then, they were ambushed and surrounded by a large number of unknown cavalry in Yannan Mountain, and the prince's horse was also dead, and he could only ride that inferior horse to escape, and then they were accidentally found by the enemy when they retreated, he chose to act separately from the prince in order to block the chasing soldiers who rushed behind, and then he only had a vague impression, he fought all the way alone, bloody fighting, and by chance, finally fought out of the encirclement, I wanted to go back to find the prince, but the injuries on his body were too serious, and he didn't want to do what he wanted at all, and ran for a while, the whole person lost consciousness and completely fainted.
Thinking of this, Jing Long, who came back to his senses, subconsciously reached out to touch the wounds on his body, but the tentacles were all bandaged gauze.
It seems that he was rescued, thinking of these, he seemed to remember something, quickly lifted the quilt, looked at his right hand and arm, but at this moment, the originally closed door was suddenly knocked open, and he saw Ma Erhu carrying a basin of hot water, and walked in as if no one was around, Jinglong was startled, and quickly hid his hand under the quilt.
"Hey, Lord Jinglong, you're awake!"
Ma Erhu, who heard the movement, turned his head and suddenly cried out in surprise.
The people in the county government are almost dead, and everyone else is busy with reconstruction, so now they can only let Ma Erhu do the work that these handymen and maids can do.
Jinglong covered his dizzy head and asked in a deep voice, "How did I come back?"
Ma Erhu first put the copper basin in his hand on the shelf, scalded the towel in hot water, soaked it, and then carefully wrung it out and handed it to Jinglong next to him.
"My lord, if you want to say that the horse is really a god, it was it that carried you all the way back, and was discovered by Zhu Lao outside the city, and then asked someone to rescue you back to the city, don't you remember?"
Jinglong frowned and asked, "Then there were chasing soldiers behind me at that time?" Also, what about the prince? Did the prince come back?"
Ma Erhu said with a puzzled face: "I don't know if there are any chasing soldiers, but didn't the prince go out with youγγγγγγ? β
Jinglong wiped his face vigorously with a warm towel, and finally sobered up a little, and then quickly interrupted Ma Erhu's words and ordered: "You go and call Master Lu for me, quickly!"
If such a big thing happened, it was useless to say that it was useless to talk to people like Ma Erhu, so I still had to talk to Lu.
"Hey, good!"
For this indifferent Lord Jinglong, who speaks and does things with a fierce spirit, Ma Erhu has long been deeply aware of it, and when he heard the order, he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly ran out.
After a while, Lu Yi, who had been handling official documents in the yamen, was taken in by Ma Erhu.
For this Mr. Lu Yilu, who has a mysterious background but has a lot of ability, Jinglong actually still has a good impression, after all, he came to help his own prince, no matter what hidden purpose he has, but Huangsha County is now thriving, and most of his credit is indeed in it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a first-class hero.
"Mr. Lu. β
He doesn't address adults, but directly addresses Mr.
Lu Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said with some reproach: "Why did you separate from the prince on the road?"
Jinglong was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Why does Mr. know?"
After asking, he thought that the other party was asking him why he came back alone, and just about to explain, Lu Yi said: "It's just a trick of divination, originally according to my calculations, you and the prince are two people working together, and the pattern of its profit and gold, as long as they are together, there must be no danger, why do you separate halfway and act separately?"
Divination?
Jinglong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dwell on this point for too long, and immediately explained: "At that time, I rushed back from Yanzhou with the prince, and the prince seemed to sense that there would be a thief attack on the way back, so we took the line across Yannan Mountain, according to what the prince gave me, deliberately detoured the long way, if someone wanted to be unfavorable to us, we should be able to avoid it, but when we went up the mountain at night, we still encountered an ambush." β
Jinglong struggled to prop himself up from the bed, leaned back on the edge of the bed, and continued panting: " There are hundreds of cavalry team sandwiched, I and the prince knew that the enemy was temporarily strong, difficult to match, so we were ready to find a place to break through, but the other party has been surrounded by a large encirclement, not let us leave, at that time unfortunately the prince's horse was attacked and killed, the prince changed a inferior horse that I robbed, not fast, the prince was expected to think that the other party would think that we would break through in the direction of Huangsha County, the back road must be undefended, we turned to run back, ready to go down the mountain from the road, first go back to Yanzhou for help, I didn't expect to be accidentally discovered, I in order to block the pursuers, take the initiative to stay for the prince to break off, the prince refused to ride my horse, so he drove the inferior horse backwardsAfter that, although I fought my way out of the encirclement, the injury was too serious, and I fainted on the way, and when I woke up again, I was already here. β
Lu Yi couldn't help nodding, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If it weren't for Senior Brother's action, with the prince's quick wit, no one would be able to easily catch his whereabouts." β
When Jing Long heard this, he raised his head and asked angrily, "Senior brother, what is going on? You tell me clearly, did you already know, why didn't you say it before?"
Lu Yi knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly explained: "It's not a secret, last night the county was also attacked by the enemy, and dozens of martial arts masters broke through from the north city gate and broke into the county government to kill, only me and Ma Mingze and Ma Erhu survived." β
Jinglong was shocked again, no wonder he woke up and smelled a faint smell of blood outside the house for a while, he thought it was the smell of blood on his body, so it was, but he still asked a little angrily: "If you already knew that someone was going to do something bad to us, why didn't you say it?"
Lu Yi replied apologetically: "I never thought that my senior brother would do such a ruthless method, and when you and the prince left, I specially divined a hexagram for you, which is a sign of good luck, who would have thoughtγγγγγγ β
Before he finished speaking, Jinglong punched the bedpost fiercely, even if he pulled the wound, he didn't care if the blood didn't stop.
If you prevaricate Lao Tzu with this kind of illusory thing, you should get out of Lao Tzu now, otherwise Lao Tzu can't promise not to kill you! Bastard!"
