Chapter 58: White Clouds and Autumn Leaves
Back in the official post, Xi Feichen and October saw their long-lost friends and the old dean, Wei Suo, Li Baixiao, Gan Chengyuan and others stepped forward one by one to inquire about the situation, and after Xi Feichen saw the old dean, he was led down to treat the injury on his shoulder.
"What about Liu Chu, why didn't he come back with you?" the old dean asked, a touch of worry in his heart.
"Liu Chu, after helping me distract the enemy, I don't know where he went. As soon as October thought of Liu Chu alone leading away a group of pursuers for herself, the joy she had just gained from the rest of her life after the catastrophe was gone, and it was replaced by a deep sense of self-blame and worry.
"Team Sun is with him, nothing should happen. Said the lieutenant who had sent them back in October.
The old dean frowned, when he saw a team of fifty people escorting Gan Chengyuan and Hao Hongji back, he noticed that there was a problem, escorting two people back, it was necessary for the entire team to search and rescue October, but only Liu Chu and Sun Zhenghao were needed? Isn't this outrageous?
Therefore, the old dean reacted to Luo Yongcai not long ago and asked him to investigate Sun Zhenghao.
Hearing that the old dean asked him to investigate his own pro-soldier team, Luo Yongcai was shocked and puzzled, but he still did it, because the old dean's status was special, and he couldn't be untargeted.
At this time, Luo Yongcai was leading people to search in the camp where Sun Zhenghao lived, checked Sun Zhenghao's personal belongings, and finally, found a piece of paper in the compartment of the quilt, on which the word Liu Chu was written.
Luo Yongcai's face changed drastically, and he became extremely angry, damn bastard, why did he do this?
Luo Yongcai handed over the paper with Liu Chu's name to the old dean, and after the old dean read it, his face was also difficult to look at, this piece of paper is enough to prove that Sun Zhenghao has bad intentions.
Is it because you have nothing to do to write a person's name on a piece of paper? Is it because you are bored to practice calligraphy? Or is it that Sun Zhenghao is as good as Long Yang and has a crush on Liu Chu? Obviously, none of these assumptions can exist!
And Luo Yong just confirmed that this handwriting does not look like Sun Zhenghao's, that is to say, this piece of paper is more like a letter, a letter that transmits news or gives instructions!
Behind Sun Zhenghao, there is still someone, this person, who wants to put Liu Chu to death.
"Those black-clothed people were also arranged by Sun Zhenghao?" Wei Suo's group of people were also present, and when they thought that Sun Zhenghao, who warmly received them, was this kind of person, their hearts became angry, it was really a set of people in front of them and behind them.
"Sun Zhenghao shouldn't have that much energy to invite three Qi Gathering Realm powerhouses, these three Qi Gathering Realm powerhouses and the more than a hundred people who are suspected of being soldiers should have been arranged by the person who wanted to kill Liu Chu. ”
Luo Yongcai analyzed, and at the same time his face was very ugly, the soldiers, the soldiers were actually sent to do such an unsightly deed!
"The top priority is to find Liu Chu quickly, General Luo, please send more men. The old dean pleaded.
"Don't worry, they are all treasures of Great Wei, and they have already lost ten, I will not allow anyone to be lost, I will definitely get Liu Chu back!" Luo Yongcai sent another thirty hundred-person teams out to find Liu Chu's traces.
Before and after, the number of soldiers sent reached 5,000, which was already the limit of what he could mobilize privately, and only in wartime and other special circumstances could he be qualified to mobilize 50,000 soldiers from one guard, a total of 450,000 soldiers from the Ninth Guard.
"I believe that in the near future His Majesty's will will come down, and I will be able to mobilize more soldiers. Luo Yongcai said.
The old dean nodded, but he couldn't help but make a decision.
"General Luo, these children will be handed over to you, and I will go out to find them. ”
Luo Yongcai was silent for a moment, and then transferred three hundred pro-soldiers to follow the old dean, this time there was no pro-soldier team following, and these three hundred pro-soldiers all directly obeyed the old dean's orders.
After the old dean thanked him, he left the official post with three hundred soldiers.
After the old dean left, Luo Yong took the piece of paper with Liu Chu's name written on it and fell silent, this handwriting, he had definitely seen it before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
But one thing must be certain, this person is someone he Luo Yongcai knew! And if Sun Zhenghao can betray his conscience and obey him, and can secretly mobilize soldiers to do such things, then he must also have a certain amount of energy, and he can think about it bigger, at least a person at the level of the lord of the mansion, that is, a person who is at the level of the third rank and the third grade.
Thinking of being able to mobilize soldiers, then you can go to the current generals who are three ranks.
First of all, he can be excluded, his eldest brother Luo Yongning can also be excluded, and the general of Jingzhou, Bai Qi, should also be excluded, and the people of the Bai family will definitely not do such a thing.
The generals of the four rivers are even more able to discharge, if they will do this kind of thing, Luo Yongcai will go to the toilet to eat the.
Yangzhou General Yunzhong Leopard can also be ruled out, the Bai family, like the Yun family, will definitely not do anything to harm Dawei.
The general Shi Kedi should also be able to rule it out, this old stubborn, there is no reason to do such a thing.
Then the generals of Yongzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou and Jiangzhou are left, and there is a certain suspicion.
In addition, there is one biggest suspicion, that is Mu Qing!
However, Luo Yongcai had already investigated Sun Zhenghao, and there was no intersection between Sun Zhenghao and Mu Qing, so it stands to reason that Sun Zhenghao could not help Mu Qing do things.
"My brain is not good at reasoning, so I can wait for His Majesty to send someone to investigate. Luo Yongcai shook his head, the top priority was to ensure that Liu Chu was brought back safely.
Xuzhou Shoukang Mansion is one of the nine mansions in Xuzhou, in terms of prosperity, it can be ranked first among the nine mansions in Xuzhou, even if it is looking at the eighty-one mansions in Kyushu, it can also be ranked in the top ten!
Because there is a Shoukang City in Shoukang Prefecture, which is a county-level city, the state capital, county, county and village, the Great Wei is divided into such five levels of administrative units, county-level cities and county-level cities constitute the government, and county-level cities and county-level cities govern many villages.
In Shoukang City, there is a Qiu family, and the Qiu family is one of the four wealthy families of the Great Wei.
The "autumn" in the "White Cloud Autumn Leaves" that people have passed on by mouth refers to the Qiu family, and the other three families are not difficult to understand, namely the Bai family, the Yun family and the Ye family.
Needless to say, the Bai family, since the founding of the predecessor of the Great Wei Dynasty, Chen Guo, has been a wealthy family and has produced countless talents, and now the most representative is Bai Qi, one of the generals of Kyushu.
Another Yun family, which rose halfway, was pushed forward by the ancestors for three generations as soldiers, and all of them achieved the position of generals, and now the most representative is one of the generals of Kyushu, the general of Yangzhou, Yunzhongbao.
The Ye family, after the king Chen Feng with different surnames, among the four kings with different surnames, only the Chen family has been inherited, and has been cultivating many generals for the Great Wei as the head of the cloth cloth, and its influence is very terrifying, three of the generals in Kyushu are from the teachings of the Ye family!
These three giants are well known to passers-by.
And this fourth wealthy Qiu family, there may not be many people who know about it, they only know that it is a wealthy family, but they don't know what the Qiu family relied on to become a wealthy family.
Some people think that they rely on business, and the Qiu family's business is all over the country, and even other countries have many of their business bases.
Some people also think that they have become the four giants by virtue of their strong strength, because the people of the Qiu family are very strong, and they also rent out bodyguards, as long as you have money, you can even invite god-level bodyguards from the Qiu family!
In short, there are all kinds of people, but only a very small number of people can guess what the Qiu family does.
The Qiu family, one of the four wealthy families, is doing business all over the country on the surface, and actually controls the entire rivers and lakes of Dawei!
This is a force that cannot be ignored!
"Chivalry is forbidden by force", this sentence has never been said, how many faint kings in history were overthrown by chivalrous heroes who started from recklessness? And how many kings have caused chaos in the world because of too relaxed martial arts policy?
Once the rivers and lakes riot, then, the emperor's dragon chair will definitely not be able to sit steadily!
Therefore, the Qiu family, who controls the entire rivers and lakes, is equivalent to helping Emperor Wei stabilize half of the country, isn't this enough to become one of the four giants?
Moreover, Hehuo Qianzhuang, the largest money village in Dawei, is also from the Qiu family. It's just because the Qiu family keeps a low profile and never publicizes the business of the money village, so the people don't know that the big proprietor behind the Hehuo money village is the Qiu family.
And it just so happened that the person who saved Liu Chu was the Qiu family.
When Liu Chu woke up, he found himself lying on a comfortable soft bed with a lot of cotton pads, so it was very soft, and the quilt was also very warm, bringing a lot of warmth to him, an injured man.
"Are you awake?" A young man walked in at the door, and after seeing Liu Chu awake, he was a little surprised and surprised.
Liu Chu opened his mouth to ask where this was.
"The doctor said that it will take you seven days to wake up at the earliest, but it has only been two days, and you have woken up! It seems that your body has a strong recovery ability!" The young man did not give Liu Chu a chance to speak.
Liu Chu saw that the young man had finished speaking, so he opened his mouth, intending to ask where it was again.
"Are you hungry, I'll get you something to eat!" said the young man before Liu Chu could speak.
"I ......" Liu Chu said a quick word this time, but was interrupted by the young man again.
"By the way, you must be thirsty, and you want to drink water first, don't you?" asked the young man.
"......" Liu Chu swallowed back what he was about to ask, he wanted to see what else the young man could say.
"Why don't you speak? Do you want to drink water?" the young man asked a little strangely when he saw that Liu Chu didn't speak.
"I want to ......" Liu Chu wanted to say that he wanted to ask where this was, but the young man took the first two words of his sentence as an answer, and did not listen to the following words at all.
"I'll just say, you've been in a coma for two days, and you definitely want to drink water first!" the young man clapped his hands, as if he had won.
"......" Liu Chu scolded his mother in his heart, can he listen to people well......?
After a while, the young man returned with a bowl of water, still lukewarm, apparently attentive.
"Drink quickly, after drinking, you tell me if you want to eat, if some people have been in a coma for too long, it is better to drink some water to moisten the stomach at first, and not to eat immediately. ”
The young man handed the water to Liu Chu, and did not forget to give a few words of advice based on the experience he had learned.
Liu Chu peeked at the young man while drinking water, he must seize the opportunity for a while, grab the "right to speak", and ask his own questions first!
"I ......" Liu Chu deliberately asked halfway through drinking water, however, it seemed to be stopped again.
"You're done drinking, do you want to eat?" the young man looked at Liu Chu with a smile.
"......" Liu Chu felt that this young man looked good, but he really shouldn't talk like this, and he owed a little bit if he chatted.
If Liu Chu had the strength now, he would definitely give him a punch in the face.
"I'll go get you a bowl of porridge!"
So saying, the young man ran out, and in a few moments he brought back a bowl of warm porridge with some light side dishes on top.
"You're just recovering a little, you have to eat lighter, eat quickly. The young man handed the porridge to Liu Chu.
"I want to ......" Liu Chu took the porridge, thinking that this time he would not be "cut off".
"Do you want to thank me? No, no, it's our responsibility to save people. The young man waved his hand.
"Fuck me!" Lao Tzu wants to ask where he is!" Liu Chu really couldn't bear it anymore, and if he didn't let him talk, he would go crazy.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and looked at Liu Chu apologetically, "Am I a little chattering and didn't give you a chance to speak." I know I have this problem, so many people in my family are trying to avoid me now, and I haven't talked to anyone for a long time. ”
This will, it was Liu Chu's turn to be stunned for a moment, seeing the young man like this, Liu Chu didn't have the mind to blame him, some people are born to talk and it is difficult to control.
"You are now in the Qiu family, the Qiu family in Shoukang City, my name is Qiu Cheng, what is your name?" Qiu Chengyun answered Liu Chu's question and introduced himself.
"Liu Chu. ”
Liu Chu didn't expect that he would return to Shoukang Mansion in Xuzhou, but when he arrived in Shoukang City, it was not the Shanling City where the official post was located.
