Chapter 106: Assassination (5)
However, there are only a few sticks of this incense, and he has never used it since he asked for it. He didn't even use it when Lu Gui was running around in the northeast and northwest a while ago.
But what happened last night greatly annoyed him!
Didn't Lu Gui say that there would be no magicians in this kind of border town?
He also said that they even walked around such a place, as if it was related to some taboo of the magicians. Therefore, it was inconvenient for him to stay here with him.
Of course He Bayu had heard of this kind of thing before, and naturally thought it was a good thing.
He has seen the lawlessness of these magicians with his own eyes. If these people are involved, no matter how strict his arrangements are, if there are no mages to compete with these magicians, something will go wrong.
So he happened to be worried about Ah Jiu, so he asked Lu Gui to go back to Beijing with Ah Jiu, and also asked him to take care of her.
But last night, the man who let the poisoned man go was a magician at all. Otherwise, he would have caught that man long ago, how could he let him run away.
This was completely different from what Lu Gui said. Naturally, he wanted to call him over for questioning. If he could help him catch this person, that would be even better!
However, the incense had been burning for almost three hours from sunset to late at night, and Lu Gui hadn't appeared yet, which made him really annoyed and worried.
He called Lu Gui over this time, naturally he also wanted to ask about Ah Jiu's situation, although he not only sent people, but also used flying pigeons to send messages back to Liangjing.
However, no matter how fast the homing pigeon is, it still takes time. The northwest is too far from Liangjing. Without three days, the flying pigeon will not be able to return at all.
How could a magician like Lu Gui use his ability to shrink the ground into an inch, and reach from the westernmost to the easternmost part of the Zhou Dynasty in a matter of seconds!
He had been deeply aware of this for a while. If Lu Gui hadn't run in both directions and transformed into him to stabilize the Northwest King, I'm afraid this plan wouldn't have been so easy to implement.
Because, in order to do this, at the very least, he has to find someone who is seventy percent similar to him. And even so, he cannot exchange news with him in time.
Calculating the time, the carrier pigeon would bring a reply tomorrow morning, but for some reason, He Boyu couldn't wait any longer and planned to take this opportunity to call Lu Gui to inquire in person.
However, he thought that if he lit the incense, Lu Gui would arrive soon, but he did not expect that he had not appeared until now.
This made him even more worried as he didn't understand the situation at all.
If Lu Gui didn't arrive in time for some reason, would Ah Jiu, who was being protected by him, also be in danger?
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, wishing he could fly back to Liangjing immediately.
At this moment, I heard a voice ringing at the door: "Report, I have an urgent military report."
"Come in." He Bayu said without raising his head.
Following his voice, an officer flashed into the room. With his head lowered, he walked to stand a foot away in front of He Bayu's desk, then raised a letter high above his head and bent it.
The waist said: "Your Majesty, this is the battle report of Qianling Town!"
"Qianling Town?" He Bayu immediately raised his head and frowned slightly.
