Lu Bu and Diao Chan stood in the courtyard, watching Hou Ji run out in a panic with a few warriors, kneeling to receive the holy decree.

Due to the distance, the two of them couldn't hear what the holy decree said, and they saw Hou Ji looking flattered.

After receiving the holy decree, the herald said a few words to Hou Ji, and Hou Ji glanced at Lu Bu.

It didn't take long for the herald to come to Lu Bu and Diao Chan.

"May I ask if the strong man is Tang Lubu?"

"No, it's the villain." Lu Bu didn't know how this herald from the capital could know him, so he hurriedly replied.

Diao Chan quickly avoided and hid in Cao Jiangxian's house.

"When the villain came, he was entrusted by Lord Bao to bring a letter to Tang Zhuangshi, Xue Meng, and Xu Ba." As he spoke, the man took out a sweat-soaked letter from his pocket and handed it to Lu Bu.

At this time, Xue Meng and Xu Ba had already rushed over when they heard the voice.

Lu Bu handed the letter to Xu Ba.

"My lord wants the two of us to take Tang Zhuangshi back to Kaifeng quickly." After reading the letter, Xu Ba said.

Lu Bu was overjoyed.

"Really?"

"The letter is here, please read it for yourself." Xu Ba replied, but then turned his head and asked the herald, "Did you say that you want me to wait for me to go back?" ”

The herald thought for a moment.

"The villain only knows that the adults are solving an important case recently, and it is estimated that he wants you to wait back to help solve the case."

"I see." Xu Ba nodded.

"Since Master Bao's handwritten book is here, I can get on the road quickly." Lu Bu was worried about Cao Jiangxian's injury in his heart, and he couldn't wait to set off immediately.

At this time, Hou Ji also came over.

"Congratulations to General Tang for finally being freed, the lower officials know that General Tang is not a person who has lived in this small place for a long time, and if you go back this time, you will definitely be able to rise to the top, and at that time, don't forget my old friend." Hou Ji said with a smile on his face.

"How does the Overseer know?" Lu Bu asked strangely.

"Long live personally issued an order to pardon the general, and asked the subordinate to immediately let General Tang return, how could the general not know the reason?" Hou Ji said.

Only then did Lu Bu understand that this holy decree was to let Hou Ji let him go back to Beijing.

I haven't met the emperor, so I must have been dealing with Master Bao and asking the emperor to pardon him.

Lu Bu was right.

Lord Bao was worried that Lu Bu would return to Beijing, and Yan Xizheng would go to the emperor to complain again, and he would be suspected of protecting criminals, so he would take the opportunity of Yu Lun and Jiang Shuping's escape to ask the emperor for pardon for Lu Bu, the reason is: Yu Lun's martial arts are strong, and Tang Lu Bu cannot be captured.

The emperor naturally didn't know the truth, but after the cases of Fei Yong, Zhao Ji and Yan Kai and others, he had already developed a strong interest in this Tang Lu Bu.

The person who can ask Bao Zheng to intercede for him several times must be a rare talent.

"The lower officials have prepared a banquet to entertain the herald, and invited the two superiors and General Tang to sit together, which is regarded as the lower officials for everyone." Hou Ji said.

"It's so good, it's just that Lord Bao is waiting for you, it's better to board the journey as soon as possible, and the villain must return to Beijing as soon as possible to resume the purpose." The herald said.

Everyone was overjoyed.

"Xiaguan will also escort Huang Shen into Beijing in the near future, this thief intends to rebel, such a big crime, Xiaguan really doesn't dare to make decisions without permission. At that time, we will need your attention and introduce officials from various ministries. Hou Ji said at the right time when he was eating.

"The villain also knows the people from the Criminal Department, and the Supervisor can only go there, and if he is obstructed, the villain will definitely come forward to help." Xu Ba took advantage of the wine and agreed very happily.

Lu Bu didn't speak, looking worried.

When it was close to noon, Hou Ji prepared a carriage for Diao Chan and Cao Jiangxian, and generously prepared thirty taels of silver for Lu Bu and Xu Ba, Xue Meng and the herald, and after everyone thanked them, they went on the road.

Lu Bu was worried that Cao Jiangxian would not be able to stand the bumps along the way, and he would not go fast along the way, and every time he encountered a village or town store, he had to stop to change the medicine for him.

The herald was anxious, so he went back alone to reply to the decree.

When everyone came to the gate of Bianjing City, it was already the morning of the fifth day.

"The villain knows a good doctor who lives near this city gate, can Tang Zhuangshi rest assured that Ling Mei will be handed over to the villain, and you will take Mrs. Zun to Kaifeng Mansion to meet the adult first." Xue Meng suddenly proposed.

Lu Bu hesitated.

After these days, although Cao Jiangxian's injuries have not improved, there is no sign of deterioration, and if a famous doctor diagnoses and treats him, he should heal quickly.

"In this case, treat the villain and discuss it with the lady and the little sister." Lu Bu said.

Lifting the curtain, Diao Chan and Cao Jiangxian stared at Lu Bu's face at the same time.

Cao Jiangxian's face was still very pale.

"Since the general has to be so important to Lord Mengbao, he specially asked the emperor to issue an amnesty, presumably the matter must be urgent, the general must not delay the big thing because of Jiang'er alone, Jiang'er has a sister by her side, and the general can go to Kaifeng Mansion quickly." Cao Jiangxian said in a weak voice.

Diao Chan's gaze wandered between the two, and he seemed a little unaccustomed to Cao Jiangxian calling Lu Bu a general.

"Little sister's words are very kind, the general must not miss Lord Bao's big thing because of us." Diao Chan also said.

Lu Bu was a little uneasy and silent.

"Does the general dare to worry about the concubine accompanying the little sister?" Diao Chan asked.

Lu Bu remembered that Lang Zhong's words.

However, no matter how you look at it, I also feel that Diao Chan is definitely not the kind of ungrateful villain.

"With the lady by my side, how can I not feel at ease, as long as the little sister is safe, Bu Da will be repaid, and my heart will be safe." Lu Bu said.

Diao Chan heard that there seemed to be another layer of meaning in Lu Bu's words, and couldn't help but look at Cao Jiangxian.

Cao Jiangxian was slightly shocked.

Could it be that all I have gained for such hard work is gratitude and retribution?

Lu Bu lowered the curtain.

Xue Meng left with Diao Chan and Cao Jiangxian, and Lu Bu rode on his horse and watched from afar.

"Don't worry, the villain in Nalang has also known it, and it is expected that he will be rejuvenated, and the strong man is just waiting to welcome a little sister who is the same as before." Xu Ba said.

Lu Bu nodded.

Two war horses galloped in the direction of Kaifeng Mansion.

Kaifeng Mansion:

Lord Bao is restless.

The day before yesterday, an errand officer came back to report, saying that he had found the place where Yu Lun and Jiang Shuping were hiding, but because of the remote location, and that Yu Lun was really powerful, the errand officials did not dare to move lightly.

Although the emperor did not give himself a definite time to capture the two, he must have been very anxious. Especially in the past few days, it is said that the imperial concubine Niangniang has gotten up to return to her hometown, and the emperor is inevitably anxious.

It stands to reason that Fei Caihe returned to his hometown to visit Fei Yong, such a major event is extremely secret, and no one in the court knows about it, but it was known to Master Bao, and he smelled a different smell, which seemed a little ominous.

Fei Yong was demoted and Fei Shi was killed, although they were all handled in accordance with the laws of the time, but will this Fei Caihe stop there?

The sound of horses' hooves came in, and not long after, Xu Ba, who was covered in dust, walked into the lobby with Lu Bu.
