Chapter 175: Thousand Miles

When Luochuan and Wuqianlijun Light Cavalry arrived at Zhengcang City, Chen Cheng did not wait outside the city, but just sent his confidant commander out of the city to greet him.

Luochuan did not greet the people who came to welcome him, nor did he stay outside the city for more time, so he rushed into the city with the cavalry. The heavy sound of iron hooves spread throughout the city with an unparalleled shock, conveying the meaning of iron and blood determination to this restless city.

When the light cavalry from the county entered the military camp, only Luo Changgong and the five hundred blood cavalry followed Luo Chuan. After they separated from the brigade of troops, they went directly to the Zhengcang County garrison.

When Luo Chuan turned over and dismounted, he staggered slightly and was supported by the young woman who was following him with quick eyes and hands. However, he just turned around and strode towards the courtyard behind the government office. Behind him, a group of people followed closely.

Under the guidance of Shen Cheng's confidant Commander, Luochuan went directly to a courtyard in the backyard of the government office, which was heavily guarded by elite soldiers. He pushed open the largest room and entered, and a strong smell of herbs came to his nose.

Chen Cheng, who was pale and bloodless on the big bed against the wall, struggled to get up, but Luo Chuan held it down. "Don't move," he walked back to a place far away from the big bed and took off his armor, rubbed his hands a little warmed up before sitting back to the bed and holding Chen Cheng's hand, "They told me that the assassin's sword did not hurt your vitals, it just needed to be kept for a while, it was okay."

Chen Cheng nodded effortlessly, and the scars on his face looked a little ferocious, "Don't worry, Chen Cheng's destiny is very hard, but now Zheng Cangcheng... I have to get better as soon as possible..."

"Don't worry, you have to listen to doctors in this kind of thing. Now Meng Zi'an's lonely army has left the scope of Zhengcang City. Since he did not make up his mind to do something when he was here, it would be too late to do something now," Luo Chuan patted Shen Cheng's hand and comforted, "Does Uncle Zhao know about your affairs?"

Chen Cheng nodded softly, then raised his hand to wave to the thin middle-aged man in a corner of the room, "Come on..."

The thin middle-aged man walked up to him when he heard this, but just stood quietly on the side of the big bed.

Chen Cheng pointed to the thin middle-aged man and said to Luochuan, "Sir, this person's name is... Jiuge, he can temporarily take over... Zhengcang City Lord General." As he said that, he looked at the trusted captain who led the way for Luochuan with apologeticism. After thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

The thin middle-aged man didn't say anything, but just knelt on one knee at Luo Chuan.

Luo Chuan turned his head and looked at the thin middle-aged man kneeling on one knee and said a word, "Okay," and then he pointed to the trusted captain Chen Cheng at the door and asked Chen Cheng, "What's his name?"

"Lu Bai," Chen Cheng's face was full of smiles. Looking at the captain, his voice became softer. "When Chen Cheng was still a tenth lord, he... was my soldier..."

After hearing this, Luo Chuan turned around and looked at the captain carefully. He saw that his face was square and his eyebrows were calm. Even in this environment, he could not see too much sadness and joy. He just pursed his lips slightly and looked at Chen Cheng with his eyes.

"Remember," Luo Chuan patted Shen Cheng's back and stood up, "Stay rest with peace of mind. I'm here, there will be no problem with Zheng Cangcheng," he said, and he glanced at the thin middle-aged man and walked out of the house.

When Luo Chuan left the yard and went to the front hall of the Zhengcang County Shoufu, a thin high-skinned man named Jiuge by Chen Cheng was already following him, "He looks worse than what you said in the letter you gave me."

Jiuge looked around and found that only Luo Chuan was following the front hall and nodded, "The assassin is good at disguise. He didn't know when he pretended to be a personal guard next to General Chen. Yesterday, when General Chen was patrolling, the assassin launched a sneak attack in front of everyone. Fortunately, General Shen reacted faster and another personal guard next to him fought to block it for him. The assassin's attack did not stab the center of the heart, but his dagger was covered with poison. The military doctor was helpless. We found the best doctor in Zhengcang City overnight. But General Chen was already very weak at that time. The doctor did not dare to use poison-removing drugs. Instead, he used some mild drugs to inhibit the development of toxins. The rest could only be with him, saying that yes..."

He glanced at Luo Chuan's expression and whispered, "I'm saying that he can finally get through it and see it all tonight. If I can't..."

Before Jiuge could finish speaking, he saw Luo Chuan pressing the handle of the solid wood chair to break, but his voice was still calm, "Has the assassin already caught?"

Jiuge said quickly, "I caught it, but I had already committed suicide in prison last night. When we imprisoned him, we had already examined him all over his body, but I still didn't know where he had hidden the poison." He knelt on one knee and saluted, "I am incompetent, please punish him by the prefect."

"No wonder you," Luo Chuan looked up at Jiuge, his face as calm as a voice. "The most important thing at the moment is that the army of Zhengcang City is stable. The arrival of the Lijun Light Cavalry will somewhat suppress the restless atmosphere in the military camp, but you and Lu Bai still have to return to the military camp to let everyone know that General Chen is fine. In addition, keep a close eye on the places where the surrendered soldiers are imprisoned to avoid those who are interested in making trouble there."

He paced in the front hall, "I have led the Lijun Light Cavalry to the hinterland of Yongchang County before. Although there was no sign of the army gathering, we still cannot be careless. Zhengcang City is the new two sides of my Lijun. Not only the direction of Yongchang County, but also the direction of Guangjun should be kept a close eye. Since Chen Cheng said that you can act as the Lord Zhengcang City General, you must take all these matters into consideration."

"I obey the prefect's orders," Jiuge saluted solemnly.

"Go, I'll take care of Chen Cheng," Luo Chuan waved his hand, and Jiuge stepped back.

When Jiuge left the front hall, only Siqi was left. Yin Huayu and the young woman talked, Siqi couldn't help but point at Luo Chuan's neck and spoke, "Do you use..."

Before Siqi finished speaking, Luo Chuan waved his hand and didn't let her finish speaking. He turned his head and looked at a corner of the front hall. The shadow appeared there at some time. "Have you found anything?"

Shadow shook her head, "The people I brought have scattered into the city. If there is any abnormal movement, you can respond quickly."

"It's better than nothing," Luo Chuan shook his head and sat on the chair in the front hall. He closed his eyes and pondered, "Yongchang County would not expect that we would attack Zhengcang City in surprise. When the city was broken, the power belonging to Yongchang in the city had been cleared. There might be rats hidden in the secret, but under military control, they could not recover contact with the people above for a while. This assassination of Chen Cheng was obviously an organized and planned action. Anling and Anyang counties were unable to take care of themselves. The only one who was most likely to do such a thing... Yun Bailou!"

"Didn't it mean that Yun Bailou is still trying to plot against Hanoi County now? How could it be..." Siqi said in surprise.

Luo Chuan shook his head and looked solemn, muttering to himself, "Yunbailou...!"
