The city defense team wanted to chase after them, but was stopped by Lu Ji. "Don't chase it, if you really fight hard, we people may not be able to stop him!" Seeing this, the remaining three red-clothed men drew their knives and killed themselves, without the slightest hesitation!

commanded the city defense team to collect the bodies of Ding Yu and Man Gu, and burned the bodies of the remaining red-clothed people on the spot. The people beat their horses back to the city. No one spoke along the way, they were all thinking about something!

After returning to the city, Lu Jigang wanted to ask Lei Jingyu to send Lu Yunxi home. Lin Yao walked to Lu Yunxi's horse and pulled the reins, "Yunxi, I'll send you back!" After speaking, he couldn't help but say that he was beating the horse forward.

Lu Ji opened his mouth, "That shocking rain, you be careful yourself." After speaking, he went straight to the mayor's mansion.

Thunder and rain, look at Lu Ji, and look at Lu Yunxi who was escorted. "Alas!" "Do you still hurt here?" thunderstorm stabbed San's hind legs near his buttocks.

"Hey, you're going to stab me to death?" said Sanjo complaining.

"Does it hurt so much?" said Thunderstorm and Sanjo as they walked back.

"It seems that the two countries of Lieyan and Melting Snow are about to be overwhelmed!" Lu Ji rushed to the town mayor's mansion to report the situation just now.

Lin Qingshan crossed his legs, his fingers flicking the table. "This matter needs to be known to the Lord of the Castle as soon as possible. Lu Ji, your city defense team sent an expedited fast horse with my handwritten letter to Manlin City to report to the city lord. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it immediately. ”

"My lord, what about Ding Yu and Man Gu?" Lu Ji asked tentatively.

"There is no precedent during my tenure, so let's do it, and now is an extraordinary time. You go to the account office to collect the money, and you are given double the bereavement pension according to the old practice. Good students comfort their families. Lin Qingshan said

"Lord Xie!" Lu Ji got up and took the order and left.

"Wait!" Lin Qingshan shouted.

"Your Excellency still has orders?" Lu Ji turned around.

"Lu Ji, that's the case. We're a family now, so we don't talk darkly!" Lin Qingshan said with a little embarrassment.

"Sir, tell me!"

"Who are you going to give this errand to?" Lin Qingshan asked.

"Honor and glory are two brothers, and things are quite safe. I'm going to let them go!" Lu Ji didn't know why Lin Qingshan asked.

"Don't you have the most trusted person? ”

Lu Ji usually talks to people at the level of squad leader and above, and he really hasn't had much contact with ordinary soldiers. Lu Ji wanted to tell him that there was, lying outside!

"Ugh。。。。。。 ”

"There is no room for error in this matter, and we must be cautious. In this way, do you think you can go there in person?" Lin Qingshan asked, but said in a very affirmative tone.

"Well, well, since the lord is not at ease, then the humble duty will go on a trip, so as to bring back the city lord's response plan to the lord completely. ”

"Okay, I'll celebrate you when I get back. The strong man will go, and Lin will toast you with a bowl of tea instead of wine. Lin Qingshan picked up the tea bowl and killed it in one gulp.

"Your Excellency is polite, where is the responsibility of your subordinates!" Lu Ji hugged Lin Qingshan after drinking tea.

"Subordinates retire!"

Out of the hall, turn the corner door.

There is usually only one soldier guarding the door of the city defense office, and after Lu Ji came to the courtyard and sat down, he made himself a bowl of tea.

"Inform all the city defense team members to come to the council, I have something to explain. Lu Ji ordered the guards.

"Yes. ”

Half an hour later, all the city defense team members arrived. The entire city defense team consisted of less than eighty men, and those in their early sixties, excluding the necessary guards at the gates.

After Lin Yao sent Lu Yunxi home, he rushed back home. When Lu Ji was counting the number of people, Lin Yao turned around from the corner gate, followed by four soldiers, two of whom carried a stretcher, on which lay Ding Yu and Man Gu.

Just now, some soldiers who had gone out to reinforce were whispering among themselves about the morning, but now they were carrying people out, and the courtyard suddenly exploded.

"Silence!" Lu Ji maintained order!

"Everyone already knows what happened this morning!Ding Yu, Man Gu, your good captain, my brother Paoze. This morning, they were attacked by gangsters outside the city, and both of them were killed. The preliminary judgment was that it was the scout team of the Burning Flame Country, who left behind ten corpses, but the leader escaped. From today onwards, the whole city will continue to strengthen its vigilance, and those who enter the city must be investigated one by one, and those who slack off will be severely punished!"

"Give them a ride and go back to their posts! Honor you to take Ding Yu's position, and glory to you to take Mangu's position. After Lu Ji finished speaking, he turned around and entered the house.

The soldiers carrying the stretcher carefully put Ding Yu and Man Gu on the ground, and everyone walked in front of them one by one. Ding Yu only had a blood hole on his head, which was caused by Lu Ji pulling out the arrow. Man Gu was much worse than Ding Yu, covered in scars and covered in blood. There are few good places.

The members of the city defense team are also bloody men, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but grit their teeth and redden.

"Can we allow this to happen again?" Lin Yao shouted.

"No, you can't. The crowd spoke in unison.

"Can we allow our homes to be plundered?"

"Can't"

"What should I do if I encounter an enemy?"

"Kill, kill, kill" Everyone drew their waist knives, and the tip of the knife pointed to the sky. Shouted.

Hugh laughs at the small city, few people, and high morale.

After everyone dispersed, Lin Yao entered the house. "Captain has something to say?" Lin Yao looked at Lu Ji.

"Well, the mayor wants me to deliver a letter to Floodforest City. In my absence, the city defense affairs will be left to you. Lu Ji took a sip of tea.

"Then how can you go, who can't send the letter? Why do you want to go in person? Now that the enemy may invade at any time, and you are not there, who will organize the city defense team. Lin Yao looked at Lu Ji puzzled.

"Our town is small, and all the messy affairs are in charge of the city defense team, which is a good opportunity for you to train. You can't be a deputy for the rest of your life, can you!" Lu Ji said sincerely.

"I know that Brother Lu has good intentions, but this is indeed a bit sudden. In case there is an enemy situation in your absence, I have no experience!" Lin Yao was most afraid of this, because no one could say for sure about the current situation.

"The mayor's decision, I can't help it! This is the key to all the warehouses, you take it!" Lu Ji took out a bunch of keys and put them on the table.

"It's not a big problem to have the mayor make the decision for you! Even if there is an enemy situation, I believe the mayor can deal with it. I'll go to Ding Yu Mangu and report the news first, and you can deal with the rest!" Lu Ji sighed and turned to go out.

"Then Brother Lu, you go slowly!" Lin Yao put away the key and sent Lu Ji to the door.

Lu Ji went to the account office to receive a pension and sent it to Ding Yu and the two families. Explaining the situation, the two families burst into tears. Lu Ji really couldn't see this scene, so he told him to leave quickly.

Lin Yao returned home and found Lin Qingshan in the hall.

"Dad, why did you ask Lu Ji to deliver the letter at this moment?" Lin Yao asked puzzled.

"Hehe, these days, I see that Lu Ji seems to have a little different opinion on the marriage between you and Lu Yunxi. Although he can't influence the way things go. But after all, it is the eldest son of a family, and speaking will still play a role. I'll break him up so that the marriage between you two can be finalized early. Lin Qingshan stroked his beard proudly.

"That's a good feeling, but what if the enemy invades?"

"Stinky boy, you still want to get down to business! Lin Qingshan glanced at Lin Yao and continued. "For my father's estimate, this scout team should have been attracted to something or wanted to test something, so that their identity was exposed. It is far from the time for war to break out. I just made Lu Ji anxious. ”

"Daddy is smart!" Lin Yao slapped a sycophant.

"But you'll have to figure it out, as you said, the leader called out to Captain Captain as he left. It seems that their spies are already pervasive, maybe we have their people in the town, and from today onwards, you can find two trustworthy people to start a secret investigation. ！”

"Yes, Dad. ”

When Lu Ji returned home, he was called by Lu Yuanchuan and told him what happened today. Lu Yuanchuan pondered for a while and came to a conclusion that was not much different from Lin Qingshan.

"The people of the Lieyan Kingdom have obvious characteristics, what does Dad mean, this spy is from our town?" Lu Ji asked in surprise.

If that's the case, then the Wolong Kingdom is really in jeopardy. The Wolong Kingdom is sandwiched between the Burning Flame Country and the Snowmelt Country, so there are many border towns. They are just one of many border towns, and spies can infiltrate here, what about the city, the main city!

"I'm afraid that's the case, you go first, and then deal with this matter when you come back. There is no hurry for this moment. "Lu Yuanchuan is much calmer than Lu Ji.

"Then I'll leave after lunch, Dad, you and your mother take care of yourself during the days I'm not at home. Lu Ji said goodbye to his father.

"Go ahead, don't worry about it at home!" Lu Yuanchuan waved his hand.

At noon, the family had a simple reunion dinner, and Lu Ji packed up his belongings and prepared to leave. During the banquet, Lu Ji and Lei Jingyu talked about it, and planned to take Lei Jingyu out to see and learn by the way, and Lei Jingyu happily walked along.

Lu Ji and Lei Jingyu led the horse and went out of the house. Lu Yunxi and Liuhe sent it out.

"Brother, stay safe along the way. Go early and come back early. Lu Yunxi pulled Lu Ji's sleeve and said reluctantly. The thunderstorm next to him kept looking at Lu Yunxi.

"Don't worry, brother will bring you delicious food and rouge from the city!" Lu Ji touched Lu Yunxi's head.

"Liuhe, look at the home. Let's go!" Lu Ji turned over and got on his horse, followed by thunder and rain.

"Also, you take care of that dumbfounder, don't lose it!" Lu Yunxi whispered.

Lu Ji didn't listen, but the thunderstorm behind him was really heard. laughed, "Haha, I'm not called Erluozi, everyone calls me Erlei." Hearing this, the three horses twitched.

Soon, the two went out of the city and onto the main road.

"Brother, this trip is not short. If you go alone, it can take a lot of time, but it will be faster to change paths in the middle. There are many complicated terrain on the way, if you encounter any unexpected situation, your horse is fast, run first. The elder brother followed. ”

Although he analyzed the current situation with his father when he was at home, Lu Ji didn't want to waste a lot of time on the road. Besides, the territory of Wolong Country is quite calm now, it is nothing more than encountering some beasts or spirit beasts with weak strength, Lu Ji asked himself if he could deal with it. Powerful spirit beasts are not so easy to come across.
