As he spoke, Lu Chengfeng straightened up and cut a piece of cloth to temporarily strangle the wound. He didn't take it seriously at all. He raised his eyes and said, "Let our people bring the silver back to Jiuyuan City, and Liu Xi."
Their bodies were also taken away, the village was searched, and they were all taken away after they regained consciousness!"
Lu Chengfeng took a few steps forward, but Qing Feng was still worried and wanted to help her. Lu Chengfeng waved her hand to indicate that she was not using her, and she had already climbed onto the horse. She was about to ride out when someone suddenly came up and said: "Girl,
There’s something wrong with a few people.”
Lu Chengfeng frowned, and the garrison escorted several men forward.
Lu Chengfeng frowned and looked at it for a while. He didn't see anything wrong and asked, "What's going on?"
Someone came out and replied: "Girl, these people are not bandits, they are officers and soldiers."
Lu Chengfeng looked at the person: "Officers and soldiers?"
"They are officers and soldiers. The innermost ones they wear are garrison jackets. Ordinary people can't tell, but we can recognize them."
Lu Chengfeng smiled coldly: "Take him away!"
It was already dawn, and when we returned to the city, the sky was still dark. When Lu Chengfeng passed by the medicine shop, he picked up some medicine and changed into his robe. From the outside, nothing happened.
Lu Chengfeng didn't rest, and directly interrogated the people. When it came to punishment, whoever was punished would be unlucky. Anyway, he just had to walk around because he couldn't afford it. In exchange for suffering less punishment, the three of them were punished thoroughly.
Lu Chengfeng held four confessions in his hand, his face could be called dark clouds, and said: "Get ready and leave for Qingcheng immediately!"
Qing Feng said worriedly: "Master, your injury..."
Lu Chengfeng glanced over: "Let's set off immediately! We have to get to Qingcheng before the news of Jiuyuan City spreads."
Qingfeng did not dare to disobey: "Yes."
He first asked Zhuo San, who was staring at Ji Han, to come back and ask him to notify Xie Jiuxiao to meet at the city gate. Lu Chengfeng thought about it for a while and directly brought the more than 30,000 taels of silver to Ji's house and asked Ji Wangyun to help exchange it.
Turn it into a bank note so that she can take it away.
Ji Wangyun's face turned green: "I am a businessman, not a banker. If you want to exchange a banknote, why don't you go to the bank by yourself?"
Lu Chengfeng did not mince words with him and said: "Jiuyuan, you are familiar with the business. It will take a lot of effort to count these large boxes. I am leaving in a hurry. You can go back to Qingcheng to find someone you can trust."
Ji Wangyun said: "Lu Chengfeng, you are really rude to me!"
Lu Chengfeng smiled brightly at the person: "We've known each other since we were young, so naturally I won't be polite to you, so I'm leaving."
Damn this petty friendship! This guy is so shameless!
Lu Chengfeng led the people straight to the city gate.
Subei is a vast territory, and it takes a day and a half to ride a horse between Qingcheng and Jiuyuan City. Lu Chengfeng was unwilling to rest, and no one else dared to rest either. He left from Jiuyuan City at noon and did not arrive until noon of the next day.
place.
A dozen or so people were exhausted from the long journey and found a place to stay. They were covered in stinky sweat. Lu Chengfeng took a simple bath and did it behind his back. Then he tightened the gauze, put on his robe and came out.
Jiuxiao had fallen asleep on the table.
Lu Chengfeng walked over, looked at the people curiously, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, but before she had time to worry, Zhuo San said outside the door: "Master, Cai Zhizhou is here."
Pretty fast.
Lu Chengfeng opened the door and went out and then closed it. Cai Nongning laughed along with him: "Master Lu."
Lu Chengfeng was walking in front and said with a smile: "Cai Zhizhou, how did the thing I asked you to do go?"
Cai Nongning said: "My lord, since yesterday I have had people beating gongs and drums to publicize that Governor Wei is so brave and he beats the tough bandits to pieces and returns with a great victory! This is all your credit, sir."
Cai Nongning is very wise.
Lu Chengfeng smiled slightly and walked to the end of the corridor, where there was a small window. She reached out and pushed it open and said, "Cai Zhizhou is really good at handling errands. Why don't you do things for me again."
"Sir, please tell me that I will serve my whole life to death!"
"It's no longer necessary to die." Lu Chengfeng looked away and looked at Cai Nonning: "Tomorrow, you can invite Governor Wei to have a meal at Tianxiang Restaurant. You will be the host and we will be the guests. I have a few words to say to you.
Governor Wei said, "How good is it?"
Cai Nongning's idea was simple. He thought Lu Chengfeng wanted to lend his hand to Wei Hongran to celebrate his victory. Although Tianxiang Restaurant was expensive, it was only one or two hundred taels no matter how expensive it was. If he spent the money to have a meal with these two, it was a very good deal.
Then he said: "I will definitely do it when I am lowered to the official position."
Lu Chengfeng smiled meaningfully: "Then it's all Cai Zhizhou's fault."
Zhuo San and Qing Feng were guarding the stairs, watching Cai Nongning leave. Qing Feng was still worried about her injury, with a worried look in his eyes. Zhuo San didn't know about Lu Chengfeng's injury, mainly because Lu Chengfeng acted too naturally.
, the journey was extremely steady, and when he saw his frown, he asked: "Why are you looking like this?"
Qingfeng had no one to talk to, so he told Zhuo San.
After hearing this, Zhuo San stroked his chin and said for a long time: "This matter is easy to handle. If you accidentally tell the second master about it later, the master will naturally take care of the medicine if he can't hide it."
Zhuo San has already seen the clues that the two of them are getting along, but Qing Feng still doesn't know what happened during the time he left. He hesitated for a while, but Zhuo San didn't say anything, secretly laughing, just waiting for him to find out.
lively.
After a dusty journey, everyone was tired and resting. Lu Chengfeng felt as if he had taken a nap, and it became dark. Xie Jiuxiao just opened the door and went out, calling Zhuo San to bring dinner. Zhuo San poked his head and said: "
Young Master, I have taken off all my clothes and am getting ready to take a bath, let Qing Feng do it."
Then he pushed Qing Feng out.
Qing Feng coughed and called, "Second Young Master."
Xie Jiuxiao didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd, so she had to say: "Call some food to be brought up."
He thought for a while and then said: "See if there is any soup in the kitchen and ask for one."
Qing Feng's mind turned around and he said: "You really need some tonic soup, Master."
He gritted his teeth and pretended to be very natural and casual: "Although the master's injury is not serious, it still needs to be repaired."
"Hmm...hmm?" Xie Jiuxiao was about to turn around and leave, but she frowned: "Injury? What injury? Why didn't I know when she was injured?"
Qing Feng whispered: "That night in Heishui Village, I was wounded by Liu Xi's sword, but the master didn't let me see him."
Xie Jiuxiao didn't say anything, but his face didn't look good. He was silent for a while and said: "Go to the drug store to buy some external wound medicine, and order some clean food for dinner."
He walked back a few steps, then paused: "If you let me make some side medicine, you can get better quickly if you take it internally or externally."
Qing Feng nodded in agreement and went downstairs.
Back in the room, Lu Chengfeng had washed his face and regained consciousness, and was pouring tea to drink. When he saw him coming in, he said, "Let Zhuo San come over."
She drank all the tea in the cup and seemed to regain some energy.
Xie Jiuxiao glanced at her and said, "Zhuo San is taking a bath."
Lu Chengfeng said again: "Then let Qing Feng come over."
Xie Jiuxiao closed the door: "Qingfeng is out."
Lu Chengfeng said: "That's fine, we are not in a hurry."
After a while, the waiter from the inn came up with food. Lu Chengfeng was almost done eating when Zhuo San knocked on the door: "Master."
Lu Chengfeng said: "Come in."
Zhuo San responded and entered, without waiting for her to speak, he said: "I have sent people to keep an eye on Wei Hongran. If there is any unusual movement, we will report it as soon as possible."
Lu Chengfeng said: "The news from Jiuyuan is not as fast as ours. When Wei Hongran's people over there react, it will be over here. Let's take a rest and have something to do tomorrow."
"yes."
There was movement outside the door. It was Qing Feng who was back. He called someone outside the door and then stepped into the house.
Lu Chengfeng looked at the porcelain bowls and bottles he was holding and frowned unconsciously: "You use these to make -"
Xie Jiuxiao said: "I asked him to bring it."
Lu Chengfeng looked at him, then at Qing Feng, then at Zhuo San, and said, "Who said that?"
Qingfeng sold people quickly and said, "Brother Zhuo came up with the idea."
Zhuo San glared at him: "That's nonsense, I don't even know about this."
Lu Chengfeng sneered: "You two——"
Xie Jiuxiao said: "What did the two of them do? Whose fault is it?"
Zhuo San coughed and packed up the things on the table, then dragged Qing Feng out and closed the door carefully. Qing Feng always felt that something was wrong, so he and Zhuo San looked at each other in confusion and said, "This -"
He finally felt something was wrong: "Why do you, Master, sleep in the same room with the Second Young Master?"
Zhuo San chuckled: "Maybe everyone likes this room."
Qing Feng frowned, obviously not believing it. Thinking of Xie Jiuxiao's tone just now, his frown deepened. Just as he was about to speak, Zhuo San pushed something over: "Let's go have a drink. You won't be able to call us for a while."
both."
Inside the room, Lu Chengfeng drank the decoction first and saw Xie Jiuxiao slowly playing with the gauze and said with a smile: "It's a small injury, what's all the fuss about."
Xie Jiuxiao didn't answer and asked, "Where is it hurt?"
Lu Chengfeng sighed and accepted his fate: "Lower abdomen."
