"Zhao Gongzi, I hope you can give me an explanation, why are so many people being held here?" Li You pointed to the more than a dozen scrawny civilians lying in front of him, and looked at Zhao Tong with a blue face and asked.

Zhao Tong looked at the more than a dozen people lying on the ground who were tortured and tortured, and squeaked for a long time and didn't know what to say.

Li You's facial muscles spasmed a few times, he wanted to arrest Zhao Tong on the spot, but after thinking about it, if Zhao Tong was arrested here, although Xingyang was too peaceful, his father who was far away in Xianyang had to endure a lot of difficulties from Zhao Gao, and finally forced himself to swallow this breath and said loudly: "This kind of thing must not be done by Zhao Gongzi, it must be these warriors who intend to prevent the official army from searching for evil in the name of Gongzi, and someone is coming!" Bind them all to me! ”

With Li You's order, the Qin army, who surrounded the warriors, immediately stepped forward and unloaded all the warriors, and tied them up one by one.

The warriors didn't dare to shout when they were tied up, but just looked at Zhao Tong with aggrieved eyes one by one, expecting Zhao Tong to say something for them.

Seeing his warriors being tied up, Zhao Tong was also a little uncomfortable, but he heard that Li You was looking for an excuse to excuse him, where would he force his head to speak for the warriors, and when the warriors looked at him, he twisted his head to the side and pretended not to see their expectant eyes.

"My lord, there is an even smaller house in the backyard, there is a person hanging in the room, and his subordinates have rescued him, so I have come to ask my lord what to do!" After Zhao Tong's courtyard warrior was arrested, another Qin army officer ran over and saluted Li You and said.

Hearing that there were still people hanging in the backyard, Li You's eyes suddenly lit up, and he waved at the officer and said, "Take me to see!" ”

was found in a private prison, although Li You had placed the charges on the warriors who guarded the courtyard, Zhao Tong still felt a little uneasy, and when Qin Jun found the torture hall in the backyard, he felt a chill down his spine.

When Li You arrived in the backyard, Xiang Ye had already been put down by Qin Jun, his chest and back were full of scars, and the two Qin soldiers carried him outside the house and stood in front of Li You.

The cool night breeze blew on Xiang Ye's face, his eyelids jumped slightly but he didn't wake up, with the support of the two Qin soldiers, Xiang Ye stood softly, Li You had no doubt that as long as the two Qin soldiers holding him let go of their hands, he would definitely immediately collapse to the ground.

"Zhao Gongzi, this strong man Xiang is my guest, how did he also get caught here?" Li You frowned and turned his face to look at Zhao Tong, because he was so angry, he even negligently said Xiang Ye's surname for a while, so that in the future, because of this sentence, the entire Li family suffered irreparable losses.

Zhao Tong's eyes narrowed slightly, when Li You said the words "Xiang Zhuangshi", he had already thought about how to pull Li You off the horse, but the current situation was not as good as people, and it was not good to attack on the spot, so he had to smile reluctantly and said: "I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding, this person injured me on the street today, and was captured by the samurai, as for why he became like this, I don't know below, if he is really a friend of Lord County Shou, the Lord can just take him back." ”

Li You pulled the corners of his mouth slightly upward, showed a smile, gave Zhao Tong a salute and said: "Since it was just a misunderstanding, the lower official took him back, but the few warriors of the Gongzi Guardian detained civilians privately, and the crime is unforgivable, and the lower official must bring them back to be punished by the law of the country, and I hope that the prince will not protect his shortcomings!" ”

Zhao Tong nodded, replied to Li Youyi, and said: "A few bold subordinates dare to do such a thing behind my back, the county guard only punishes him, and it has nothing to do with Zhao whether he kills or kills!" ”

Li You didn't speak, just smiled slightly, bowed down to give Zhao Tong another salute, turned around and shouted to Qin Jun who was holding Xiang Ye: "Let's go!" Take away the detained civilians and the samurai who have broken the law! ”

Back at the county guard's mansion, Chi Xue'e heard that Xiang Ye was injured, and hurriedly ran over to see him. When she saw Xiang Ye, whose chest and back were bloody, she suddenly flattened her mouth in pain, and tears almost slipped from her eyes.

After settling down for Xiang Ye, Li You walked towards the back hall alone, tossing for half the night, he felt very tired, and he wanted to lie down on the couch and sleep beautifully.

"My lord, what happened to that strong man?" Li You returned to the back hall, he wanted to lie down and sleep, but he didn't expect Meng Su to sit under the eaves and wait for him, and when he saw him come back, Meng Su hurriedly greeted him.

"The injury is not light! If I go later, I don't know if I can be saved. Li You sighed, approached Meng Su and said to her: "But after this incident, I think he is a person worthy of trust, and after he recovers from his injuries, I plan to let him take you away and go to a place where no one can find you, at least don't let people find you when Zhao Gao is in power." ”

"Where did you start with this?" Meng Su frowned, looked at Li You with a displeased face and said, "Although I am the queen of the gate, I don't have so many complicated etiquettes on weekdays, but in the final analysis, it is still a daughter's family, how can I leave with a strange man?" If you think I'm here to trouble you, I'll leave early tomorrow morning! ”

Seeing Meng Su's displeasure, Li You hurriedly said: "Meng Su, it's not that I don't want you to stay here, but Xingyang is not peaceful now, although I captured some of Zhao Tong's warriors today, but his men still have enough strength to capture you back to Xianyang, and it is indeed too dangerous for you to stay here." My plan is to wait for Xiang Zhuang's injury to recover, and then you disguise yourself as a man and leave Xingyang with him, no matter what, I can't let my teacher's granddaughter be captured in front of me!" ”

"If I leave Xingyang, I will be arrested again, and I will have nothing to do with you, will I? Lee-sama! Meng Su snorted coldly, flicked her sleeves and turned to walk towards the door, and when she was about to go out, she left a sentence: "Since the adults want me to go so much, I will obey the orders of the adults and leave with him when the strong man recovers from his injuries."

Looking at the back of Meng Su leaving, Li You opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word. The county governor of Sanchuan County is not Xingyang, Li You is only in Xingyang because it has just been sacked by the war, and he wants to rebuild his home with the soldiers and civilians of Xingyang. After all, he still has to return to Luoyang, as long as he sets off, Meng Su's whereabouts are likely to be discovered by Zhao Tong, although he has the ability to protect Meng Su from being captured by Zhao Tong, but the charge of shielding the criminal minister is not something he and the entire Li family can afford, for the sake of the Li family and Meng Su, he can only let Meng Su leave earlier.

After being taken back to the county guard's mansion, Xiang Ye has been in a coma, and after the doctor in the mansion diagnosed him, he left a few medicines, connected his broken arm, wrapped it tightly with linen cloth a few times, and then simply explained to the servant who took care of Xiang Ye a few words before leaving.

Chi Xue'e sat on the couch, looking at Xiang Ye in a coma, she gently wiped his hot forehead with a damp cloth, since Xiang Ye saved her, she has always treated him as a younger brother, but this time after Xiang Ye was captured by Zhao Tong, she found that in addition to that sister-brother feeling, she also had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She pinched the wet cloth with one hand and wiped it on Xiang Ye's forehead, and her eyes full of charm looked at Xiang Ye lying on the couch gently.

Since marrying into the Yan family, she has never looked at any man with such pure and gentle eyes, and in the past, she was lying under the man to be happy, and the gentleness she showed was with a strong utilitarian heart, but today, she felt that her heart could be as pure as water.

This feeling made her feel a little flustered, she was a businessman, a businessman who walked the world and put profit first. Everything she did in the past was inextricably linked to the copper coins. For a woman in the world of business, once she has inexplicable feelings for a man who is not her husband, her business career will come to an end.

In order to get rid of this feeling, she wants to leave Xingyang, the man who is lying on the couch and falling into a coma, but can still make her feel uneasy.

Chi Xue'e is a woman who must do it when she thinks of it, and since she has decided to leave, it is impossible for her to stay in Xingyang.

Looking at Xiang Ye in a coma, she sighed faintly, stood up and walked out of the door and walked straight towards the back house where Li You lived.

Li You's family members are all in Xianyang, there is only one concubine who accompanies him in Sanchuan, when Zhang Chu attacked Xingyang, he left the concubine in Luoyang and came here alone, after the siege of Xingyang was lifted, he still lived alone in a huge house.

Chi Xue'e's arrival made Li You feel a little surprised, he had heard that Chi Xue'e was a woman who could be a husband, but he had never had the opportunity to kiss Fang Ze, when she knocked on the door and appeared in front of Li You, his heart actually flashed a touch of evil thoughts inexplicably.

Chi Xue'e, who had read countless people, immediately noticed a touch of confusion that flashed in Li You's eyes, she smiled slightly, bowed to Li You and said, "Lord County Guard, the folk girl came to visit late at night, and she came to bid farewell to your lordship. ”

"Ugh!" Li You responded embarrassedly, he has always regarded himself as polite, and he felt guilty for the confusion just now, so he bowed down and saluted Chi Xue'e and said, "Mrs. Yan is leaving, and the lower officials can't forcibly keep it, but your brother is seriously injured and the night is deep, and the city gate has long been closed, can Mrs. wait a few days until your brother is healthy before leaving?" ”

Chi Xue'e smiled slightly, and did not answer Li You's words, but asked him instead: "Is the county guard unwilling to invite the people's daughter to come in and talk?" ”

"Huh!" Chi Xue'e's words stunned Li Youwen, he smiled awkwardly and said: "The night is too deep, if Madame is not afraid of people's words, it doesn't matter if the lower officials are lower." ”

With that, he stood sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Chi Xue'e.

Chi Xue'e raised her feet and entered the room, Li You casually closed the door, turned around and looked at Chi Xue'e who was already standing in the center of the room.
