The cavalry whistled past, causing trouble to the pedestrians and complain.
Ma Zhong's reaction was a little slower, and he was covered with many mud ideas, and his situation was in a mess.
Lei Yuan didn't care about standing up for his parents, but just stared at the back of the cavalry team, his heart thumped and he jumped a few times.
The leader of this cavalry team is Zhao Lei! Lei Yuan clearly saw his frightened and impatient face passing by.
Didn’t Zhao Lei organize the defenders of Jiangling City to welcome Guan Yu in the north of the city?
Lei Yuan had just walked from the north gate to the entrance of the house. How long has it been since?
What happened in the city?
Zhao Lei is the governor of the central army responsible for Jiangling City Defense. He is one of Guan Yu's most trusted subordinates. What can force him to this extent? With Guan Yu's arrogant personality, he has always attached great importance to the show. It would never be a trivial matter to make Zhao Lei rush back to the city regardless of greeting Guan Yu!
At the same time, bursts of rapid drum beats came from the north city. The other three cities also beat drums one after another.
Ma Zhong raised his sleeve and wiped his face, quietly approached Lei Yuan, and whispered: "General, this is an emergency closing of the city gate! I'm afraid there is something wrong with it."
Lei Yuan nodded slightly.
He turned slightly and glanced at Li Zhen.
Since the team of knights rushed by, Li Zhen's eyes had never left Lei Yuan. At this time, Lei Yuan's gaze turned, and when he touched him, he understood Lei Yuan's meaning.
When Li Zhen returned to the yard, he immediately ordered the entourages who stayed here to prepare horses, weapons, luggage, dry food, and water, and prepare for all responses. No matter what happens next, preparations will never be wrong.
But, what can be done?
Lei Yuan did not feel that Jingzhou would face a military threat at this time. With Lei Yuan leading his troops back, the current situation of lack of troops in Jingzhou had eased. As long as Jiangling and the two fulcrums of the public security were not moved, Yidu County, the channel connecting Jingzhou Yizhou, remained stable, Jingzhou would be as stable as Mount Tai.
What's more, Cao's army has been defeated and retreated, so it's okay to ignore it. In Jiangdong, Wu Hou was personally raising the army and preparing to make a tour of Huainan in full swing. I heard that Dong He had sent a letter to Jingkou and would visit Wu Hou. The relationship between the two families has been stable over the past year.
So, why did Zhao Lei do this in panic?
A certain clip in the memory of the previous life suddenly appeared in his mind, making Lei Yuan unable to help but gasp in the air.
No way? My father-in-law is not here!
At this moment, a military officer rushed over from the city's avenue.
"But General Lei is here?"
“That’s right.”
"My General Guan invites General Lei! Please come with me immediately!" The military officer took his horse and circled around the intersection for a while and immediately turned back.
Lei Yuan hurriedly followed.
The two of them urged their horses to go north again, not to the north gate or to Guan Yu's defensive general's mansion, but to the Jingzhou Muslim Mansion. At this time, thousands of people were next to each other, surrounding the mansion. The soldiers looked a little confused, and the officers leading the troops shouted loudly, ordering them to be vigilant.
The military officers did not stop at the main entrance, but walked east along the tall wall of the mansion to the side door to the east.
This mansion was the mansion of Duke Xuande in Jiangling City. Huanling was used by the prefect of Nanjun. Later, it was repaired by Zhou Lang. It was very large in scale. There are many halls in the front yard, which are enough to accommodate the offices of hundreds of officials, and the back yard is full of pavilions, towers, corridors and trees.
Since Duke Xuan De led his subordinates to Sichuan, only a small number of officials' offices were retained in the front yard, led by Pan Jun, occupying a small courtyard near the main entrance. The back yard was completely separated from the front yard, and Duke Xuan De's family entered and exited directly from the east side door.
When Mrs. Sun came to the police from Jingkou, she brought hundreds of elite armed servants, and hundreds of maids who could dance swords and swords. Later, Duke Xuande forcibly detained the armed servants to Chanling City near the police in the name of appeaseing the Lei family in Lujiang. After the Sun and Liu families re-established the alliance, these servants were all sent back to Jiangdong, and a group of maids were also sent back.
So now, many people who serve Mrs. Sun have changed to Duke Xuande, including coachmen, guards, etc. Once Mrs. Sun has something to do, except for her confidant servants and maids, the outside is the Xuande Duke's subordinates. They live in a separate lifang opposite the east gate.
When Lei Yuan arrived, he saw many residents in Jiangling City crowded over to watch the fun. Then they were forced back unceremoniously by soldiers holding bright swords and guns, freeing up the wide open space in front of the side door. Guan Yu stood under the porch with his sword, his face looking ugly. In front of him, there were several rows of black people, including about hundreds of people. There were soldiers responsible for guarding the access control, servants and maids in green clothes, and the person in charge of this Lifang.
Pan Jun was asking a servant who was kneeling and trembling. He didn't hear what he said clearly, but he could feel his voice loud and his voice hoarse.
Lei Yuan Yuezhong moved forward: "General Guan!"
Guan Yu looked up at him and was about to say something, Pan Jun came back angrily: "General Guan, closing the city gate is not enough, you must immediately be martial law! Let the village chief control the people and not enter and exit at will! Maybe you have to search the whole city in a while. Now it is noisy, what does it look like!"
Guan Yu waved his hand and immediately his subordinates rushed out to pass on the order of martial law.
"How? Can you ask some clues?" he asked Pan Jun.
In the cold weather, Pan Jun's forehead was covered in sweat, and even the robe on his chest and behind him was wet: "This group of people are all useless! No care!"
Guan Yu emphasized: "Let me talk about what we know first!"
"Yesterday, Mrs. Sun said that she planned to take Mr. Liu Chan out for a trip today. So the servants prepared in advance and arranged for the knights to guard the knights along the way. When they went out, Mrs. Sun and Mr. Liu Chan were clearly there. They got on the bus normally, and the guards on the road also heard Mrs. Sun and Mr. Liu Chan talking in the car. However, after walking out of the city, the guards asked Mrs. Sun where she planned to go... After asking a few questions, they did not reply. At this time, they found that there was no one in the car, so they left a letter saying that they would take Mr. Liu Chan to Jiangdong to visit relatives!"
Guan Yu was subconsciously stroking his long beard. When Pan Jun said this, his subordinates pulled a squeezing of beards down: "In other words, our mistress deliberately designed a plan, and then ran away with his lord's heir!"
Pan Jun wiped his sweat and said, "At present, we can only look forward to the result of Governor Zhao's interception at Jiangjin Port..."
Guan Yu punched the door with a punch, and the thick wooden board broke, causing bleeding from the joints of his fists.
"How could this happen? How much respect and kindness of the lord to her? Why did she do this? The Sun-Liu Alliance is still there, what did she do? How did she do it? This woman... is this woman crazy?" Guan Yu gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
He turned to remember something: "Or, who has angered her in the city these days? Before the lord entered Sichuan, didn't he let everyone bear it?"
"This is absolutely true. Mrs. Sun has been much more peaceful than that day recently. You know that General Guan. Since that's the case, who would anger her? But I have met Dong Youzai with her. She also said that she should prepare some Jingzhou rituals and ask Dong Youzai to bring it to Wu Hou..."
Guan Yu didn't hear anything Pan Jun said at all, and suddenly cursed: "Didn't you say before that the people who had cleared the city and Jiangdong? There must be fish that missed the net!"
Pan Jun's face was bleak and speechless for a moment.
Lei Yuan took a step forward: "General Guan, the current urgent task is to find Mrs. Sun and Mr. Liu Chan. As for the cause, you might as well ask later."
"Xuzhi, why are you still here?" Guan Yu frowned.
"Uh..." Lei Yuan felt that Guan Yu was probably losing his temper. This was inevitable. Who would have thought of such a thing? No one could afford the consequences!
Fortunately, Guan Yu immediately reacted again and raised his hand to throw a military talisman: "Zhao Lei has gone to Jiangjin to intercept him. I will also send someone to inform Guan Ping to bring the navy army to block Xia Shui. You hold this military talisman and mobilize ships along the river to track downstream, and go immediately!"
