"What's going on! Who killed Old Lu! ”

Du Tao, the county guard of Huai County, stood in the courtyard of the county guard's mansion with a dark face, and there was a corpse lying in front of him, which was Lu Jixuan's body.

Lu Jixuan's body had dozens of sword wounds, and the clothes on his body were all ripped in a mess.

"My lord, Master Lu should have met the bandits, their clothes have been rummaged through, and all the valuable things on their bodies are gone."

A general in armor stood beside Du Tao to report.

Du Tao covered his nose with a silk scarf and squatted down, pulled open Lu Jixuan's clothes and looked at them, and then looked at the wounds.

"The sword wound is very rough, which means that the sword used is very blunt. There's no dirt on your body, it's not dug out of the soil. ”

"Yes, my lord, they didn't bury the bodies at all, they left them on the road." The general arched his hand.

Du Tao stood up, turned around and took a deep breath.

"It seems that this is a group of bandits who have just gone up the mountain, even if they are not rigorous, their weapons are still very poor."

The general arched his hand and asked, "My lord, do you want the last general to lead the troops to exterminate this group of bandits!" ”

Du Tao raised his hand, "Take the body down and bury it, Lao Lu has been with me for so long after all, so bury it well." ”

"No!"

Du Tao threw away the silk scarf in his hand, and there was a faint guess in his heart.

Hasn't the bandits in Cangxian been cleared? Several caravans went in unharmed, why did they send people over, there were bandits.

Could it be that these bandits are pretending to be someone who can't do it?

Could it be Zhao Xingzhi? Or did Qin Yu get the news?

"Interesting, come here, mobilize a thousand people, and follow me to Cangxian!" Du Tao ordered.

"My lord, but it's getting late."

"Late fart! Do I still need to see the time when I go out? ”

"No!" The generals didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly ran to transfer troops.

Du Tao looked in the direction of Cangxian, and a strange smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect that there would be so many things in a small county town, but since I was given a chance this time, I must take back Cangxian!"

"The territory of my Tang Kingdom cannot be missing an inch!"

······

An hour later, Du Tao took a thousand elite soldiers and rode straight to Cangxian on a fast horse.

The sky was getting dark, and there were faint lights in Cangxian County, but in this era when there was no night entertainment, the lights gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The county governor's mansion and the barracks are actually only separated by a wall, and the barracks are brightly lit, and the soldiers are still doing evening training according to the regulations.

In the county governor's mansion on the other side, the lights were faint, and there were only a few scattered lights.

After a few sporadic lights went out, only one remained stubbornly lit in the end.

It's just that there is no figure in sight through the light.

"Aha~"

Suddenly, a yawn came from the rooftop.

"Why do you always feel like something is going to happen tonight?" Qin Yu was lying on the roof counting the stars, but he was panicked in his heart, always feeling that something was about to happen.

"! What the hell is going on? Qin Yu frowned and got up, feeling more and more chaotic in his heart.

After looking at the stars in the sky and pondering for a long time, Qin Yu suddenly woke up.

"Could it be that the incident of two days ago was discovered? It's time to be discovered. ”

Qin Yu looked in the direction outside the city, "It seems that the county guard should have sent someone again." ”

Thinking of this, Qin Yu's face suddenly sank.

"My lord! My lord! At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran to Qin Yu's courtyard.

"Bang!"

Without looking up, he directly pushed open Qin Yu's door and shouted inside.

"My lord! My lord! ”

"It's on the roof!" Qin Yu shouted to the bottom very speechlessly.

"Huh? My lord! The soldier hurriedly ran out, raised his head and looked, and sure enough, he saw Qin Yu basking in the moonlight on the roof.

"My lord, there is a group of people from outside the city, and the leader claims to be Du Tao, the county guard of Huai County, and wants to enter the city to see your lordship." The soldier hurriedly reported.

"Huaijun County Shou Du Tao!" Qin Yu jumped directly from the roof.

"Go to the barracks to give an order, and the whole army is arrayed at the gate of the city, ready to meet Lord Du, the county guard!"

"Huh?"

The soldier was still stunned, and Qin Yu had already walked into the house and closed the door.

When Qin Yu came out again, he had already changed into the armor he wore when he fought in the Qi Kingdom, and even the blood had been printed on the armor.

Outside the city, Du Tao braved the cold wind, rode on a war horse, and waited for the city gate in front of him to open.

"My lord, this county lieutenant of Cangxian County also knows how to count etiquette too well, and the adult is in person, and he has not opened the city gate to greet him until now!" His generals looked angry.

Du Tao's face was as usual, but he waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat.

The vigilance of the defenders of Cangxian County made Du Tao very recognized, if it was changed to another city, hearing his name, he would definitely open the city gate directly.

As a border city, this kind of vigilance makes Du Tao very satisfied.

"Crunch~!"

There was a sudden noise at the gate, and then the gate slowly opened, and a stream of fire shot out through the crack in the gate.

The city gate was wide open, and I saw a dense crowd of soldiers standing at the gate with torches, their armor shining in the firelight.

Qin Yu walked out of the formation, stood in front of the city gate, and bowed to Du Tao.

"Qin Yu, the county lieutenant of Cangxian County! Meet the Commander-sama! ”

Du Tao looked Qin Yu up and down, wanting to see Qin Yu through, but the more he looked at Du Tao, the more difficult it was for Qin Yu to see through.

"You are Qin Yu, I have heard the name of thunder for a long time." Du Tao said in a weird manner.

Qin Yu raised his head, looked directly at Du Tao and said with a smile: "Presumably, what the adults heard was the notoriety of their subordinates." ”

"Hahaha! You are self-aware. Du Tao pulled the reins of his horse and rode towards Qin Yu.

Qin Yu hurriedly ran forward and helped Du Tao pick up the war horse.

Du Tao also saw the whole picture of the armor on Qin Yu's body at this time, the blood marks on it were so clear, and it also exuded a smell of blood.

"You've been on the battlefield?" Du Tao asked.

Qin Yu nodded in response: "Yes, my lord, in the previous war between my Tang State and Qi State, my subordinates used to garrison Tunliu City. ”

Du Tao's face changed, he turned over and dismounted suddenly, and snatched the reins of the horse.

"Your Excellency?" Qin Yu looked at Du Tao suspiciously.

Du Tao sighed: "Eight hundred generals have been left in Tun and broken through the blockade of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qi army, and such achievements have already spread throughout our Tang Kingdom." ”

"I didn't expect that Brother Qin is still one of them, admire and admire!"

The corners of Qin Yu's mouth lifted an imperceptible smile, and he immediately sighed heavily.

"My lord, there is nothing to mention about this matter, when we came out of the city, there were eight hundred, but when we returned to my Tang Kingdom, there were only more than four hundred brothers left."

"Our more than 400 brothers didn't spread it so well, we were just trying to survive."

Du Tao grabbed Qin Yu's shoulder and patted Qin Yu's shoulder.

"Anyway, you didn't choose to surrender at that time, but broke through the blockade of the Qi army and returned to my Tang Kingdom, you are heroes."

Qin Yu stepped forward and turned around and bowed to Du Tao again.

"It's a blessing for you to see us like that."

Du Tao stretched out his hand and grabbed Qin Yu's hand, "As the so-called heroes cherish heroes, Brother Qin is polite." ”

"But Brother Qin, can we go into the city and chat?" Du Tao asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, please!" Qin Yu hurriedly got out of the way.
