Three days later, the Li family's motorcade arrived in Fucheng smoothly.
In a place like Mobei, interrogation is extremely strict. Even though the Li family had completed all the procedures and even had a note from the Ministry of War and a transfer order from Li Mu, they were still stopped outside the city and interrogated for nearly an hour.
In the end, Li Shu's personal guards came to pick them up in person and let them in.
The captain who was guarding the city confessed to Li Mu with a smile on his face, "This matter is of great importance. Please forgive me, General Li. My subordinates are only following orders and do not dare to slack off at all."
Li Mu knew that he was the one who took care of the Xiao family's job, so he would not look down upon them. He must have gotten the Xiao family's order to blatantly embarrass the Li family. Otherwise, how dare the little captain dare to do this?
act.
"you……"
"Forget it, Third Uncle." Li Man'er has resumed her female attire, but she still wears a veil on her face. Despite this, her star-like eyes are still as stunning as ever.
The captain of the city guard even wanted to see what her true appearance was like under the veil and whether she was worthy of those eyes.
"Everyone is tired. Let's go back and rest first. I miss my father." The main reason why Li Man'er changed into women's clothing was to lower others' guard against her.
Only by showing weakness can she achieve her goal better.
"It turns out she is the apple of the eye of the Marquis. I'm disrespectful." The captain spoke in human language, but his tone was very rude. Li Mu was so angry that he almost drew his sword.
"Third uncle, let's go to the city first." Li Man'er glanced at the man and then accompanied Li Mu into the city.
Everyone in the convoy looked angry, which made the Xiao family feel very relieved.
The captain smiled strangely at Li Man'er's back, touched his chin and said to himself: "It smells so good."
The few soldiers nearby gathered around him and winked, "Brother Rong, what are you doing? The girls from the aristocratic families from the capital are just different."
"Okay, okay, you are all busy, aren't you?"
"Oh, my brothers all heard it. You said it smells good."
"Ouch~" Others also started cheering, as if this man named Rong had done something to Li Man'er.
Rong Xiaowei sneered: "Brothers, even if...what happens, it won't be my turn." After all, she is the daughter of the Marquis.
This is true, but the woman of the Li family is finally a handle, which is interesting just thinking about it.
No one expected that the captain surnamed Rong would suffer an emergency that night. He was a good person, but for some reason, he suddenly started talking, and then he felt like he was having a stroke. His eyes popped out.
His mouth is crooked, and his hands and feet can no longer control his movements.
They called the military doctor to see what was wrong, so they had no choice but to let him rest in a tent. If that didn't work, he would have to be sent home to fend for himself.
Of course he didn't suddenly become ill, it was just a way for Li Man'er to teach him a lesson. Military doctors have always been good at sword injuries. Although they often encounter detoxification, there are many kinds of poisons. Who knows?
Can you guarantee that he knows each one?
Coincidentally, the doctor who treated Lieutenant Rong really didn't know the kind of poison Li Man'er had administered. He just thought he had wind evil entering his body, prescribed a dose of decoction, and asked people to take care of him.
Naturally, this medicine was taken in vain.
Li Man'er didn't pay too much attention to this person. He had already taught him a lesson anyway, and he couldn't die. It was considered a good thing that he had saved his life.
She followed Li Mu into the city without stopping, but found that they had no chance to meet the Xiao family.
In other words, she won't be able to see Li Shu for the time being.
In the name of protecting Li Shu, the Xiao family imprisoned people and claimed that they were afraid that someone would harm Li Shu, so they came up with this method.
The Xiao family was heavily guarded, and several generals were absent. The guards pushed them away, saying that they were not in a position to make the decision, and asked them to wait until the Xiao family's master came back.
"What's going on?" Li Mu had no choice but to find an inn to settle down first.
The person who came to take them into the city was Li Shu's personal guard Zuo Cheng. Like Li Wenchang, this person was Li Shu's most trusted person. However, Li Wenchang was saved by Li Shu, and this Zuo Cheng, he
My father was someone who assisted the old Marquis.
Both of them have worked hard for the Li family, and their loyalty is higher. But people's hearts are unpredictable, and it's hard to say how loyal they will be.
Isn’t Li Wenchang a good example?
Zuo Cheng immediately clasped his fists and said: "Third Master, eldest girl, the Marquis has been plotted against you. That day when we were out patrolling with the Marquis, a very fast little beast suddenly emerged from the ground. It was only about half a foot long and gray.
The rat looked like a rat but not a rat, and I didn’t know what it was. After the little beast emerged from the soil, it bit directly on the leg of the Marquis. The Marquis used his sword to chop it, but the beast let go and got in.
He escaped underground. Before the Marquis's sword was sheathed, he fell from his horse. Fortunately, the eldest aunt gave him the pills. After taking the pills, the Marquis's life was temporarily fine, but he remained drowsy."
Li Man'er frowned. Didn't even her medicine work?
"What happened to the Xiao family?"
Zuo Cheng was very angry, "The doctor who came here couldn't cure the poison. We thought we couldn't just watch something happen to Mr. Hou, so we sued the Xiao family. The Xiao family was very enthusiastic at that time and returned the favor to Mr. Hou.
The best doctor was invited, but after trying decoctions and silver needles, Mr. Hou could not wake up. The doctor said that Mr. Hou was not suitable for moving and should stay at Xiao's house to recuperate. Several of us felt that it was inappropriate, but
…”
It's too late.
The Xiao family has already dug a hole and is just waiting for them to jump into it!
"Hmph!" Li Mu was so angry that his beard almost flew up, "You just watch helplessly and there is nothing you can do about it?"
Zuo Cheng was also a little embarrassed, and just said: "Third Master, the Xiao family is powerful, and the Marquis' accident is in a critical situation. It is really..."
They are all a bunch of brainless people.
Li Man'er just thought about this in her heart and did not say it out loud.
It's so demoralizing.
"Third uncle, don't blame him. This kind of thing is hard to predict. Brother Zuo, let me ask you, where are the troops father brought?"
Zuo Cheng said quickly: "The soldiers and horses that the Marquis brought this time are not many, and they are all arranged outside the city for the time being. The Xiao family has been guarding against the Marquis, and it is absolutely impossible for our people to enter the city in a dignified manner."
"Are these people still together?"
"No, they are divided into four battalions and stationed in the four directions of the city, forming a horned force."
Li Maner frowned, "Okay!" To put it bluntly, it was just a trick, dividing the troops and returning the power of the horns. How did you say it?
"Let me ask you, what happened to Li Wenchang?"
Li Wenchang?
Zuo Cheng was confused, "Girl, Li Wenchang went out to ask for help, but you didn't meet him?" He misunderstood what Li Man'er meant, "Then why are you here?"
