"Squeak-" The door was pushed open again, and the cold wind invaded the room again, almost extinguishing the oil lamp lit by the medical officer Lao Chen. Driven by the winter wind, the flame of the oil lamp rose and fell suddenly, as if it was almost extinguished, and the flames were swaying.
The flames illuminated the house flickeringly, making the faces of the three people inside the house look uncertain.
Lao Chen changed his confident look when he was talking to Yan Qingchuan and became a different person. With a smile on his face, he turned around and greeted the visitor: "General Gao, you'd better rest for the injury on your shoulder. Why are you in such a hurry?
Came here again."
Seeing Lao Chen's flickering smile under the lights, Gao Deng's small eyes seemed to be wary, and he smiled and said: "You old boy is very fast, and Lao Xu and I only caught up with him while riding."
I deserve you."
Old Chen Junli replied: "General Gao is ridiculous. After all, Old Chen was once a member of the Yanbei Army. Although he is a little older, it is not a problem to march on time. Besides, it was General Gao who ordered me to be on time.
Feed the medicine, why don't I come and take a look right now, so as not to miss the general's important event."
Gordon narrowed his eyes and smiled at the stern-looking Xu An, "Old Xu, look, let me tell you, no one in this patrol knows what I am thinking as well as Old Chen."
After finishing speaking, he opened his small eyes slightly and looked towards the unconscious Yan Qingchuan on the ground. He saw Commander Yan, his eyes were blurred, his mouth was drooling, and he looked drowsy. He turned to Lao Chen and said, "Why are you still here?"
Didn't wake up."
Old Chen bowed and said, "The general ordered me to give medicine on time, but Old Chen didn't dare to neglect, so I just gave him Ruanjin Powder."
Gordon did not speak, but walked to Yan Qingchuan's side, lifted the half-awake Yan Qingchuan's cheek and looked at him, frowned and said behind him: "There won't be any problem with your medicine, right? He is
Yan Ruohai's only son, if something goes wrong, not even the Holy One can save our lives."
When Old Chen heard this, he seemed to be panicked. He hurriedly approached and said, "General... don't scare the villain. This... he is the son of Master Yan?"
Gordon looked back, his small eyes looked at Lao Chen for a moment, then he looked back and said: "How many times have I tricked you, this medicine..."
"Don't worry, General. When you mobilized the troops, you told me that all he needs to do is numb it. My medicine is Ruanjin Powder, which will prevent him from exerting his internal energy and will never hurt his life." Lao Chen looked panicked and only said that he was high-spirited.
Halfway through the conversation, he responded hurriedly.
Seeing Old Chen's panic, Gordon narrowed his eyes again and said with a smile: "Of course I feel relieved when Old Chen takes the medicine. I thought the effect of the medicine had worn off before, but now it seems that it will take some time before he can wake up."
"
When he got up, he seemed to have a wound on his shoulder, and he bared his teeth and said, "Oh... well, Lao Xu and I will go back first. Lao Chen, I'll leave this to you, Commander Yan."
"Don't worry, general. There are elite guards from our patrol outside this room. I will leave Commander Yan to Old Chen. I will not let him suffer any injustice. But... if we treat Grandmaster Yan's son like this, he will be thunderous in the future."
If you are angry, our little lives..." Hearing the general's words, Lao Chen hurriedly saluted and spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw General Xu beside him who had never spoken, but his eyes were fixed on Commander Yan who was tied like a rice dumpling on the ground.
Old Chen immediately understood, smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly leaned over to untie the rope on Yan Qingchuan's body: "Look at Old Chen's lack of eyesight..."
When he untied the rope, he heard Gordon speak coldly: "Old Chen, since you are a member of my patrol army, you only need to obey orders and act. The follow-up matters will be investigated by Master Yan.
I'll be the one to support you."
With his back to Gao Deng, Lao Chen hurriedly nodded and bowed in agreement, but his face did not show the nervous and flattering expression just now.
Glancing at Old Chen's back, Gordon narrowed his gaze and turned to Xu An, who had a solemn look on his side. Knowing that he must have been in a state of confusion after listening to his words, he reached out and patted Xu An on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Old Xu.
There’s nothing to do here, come with me for a walk.”
As Gordon expected, Xu An was not only confused at this moment, but could only be described as at a loss. He was patted on the shoulder by General Gao, and then he came to his senses. When he looked back, he saw that General Gao had turned around and went straight out.
Leave.
Taking three steps and two steps at a time, Xu An caught up with the general and saw that he was sending away his accompanying personal guards as if they were waiting for him. Only then did he get to Gao's side and heard him speak slowly: "Old Xu, you have something in your heart."
concern,
I can understand, but in this world, people must make choices, you..."
"Report—" Before Gao Deng could finish his words, he heard shouting from afar. He went to look for the reputation and saw the messenger soldiers coming quickly. Seeing Gao Deng, General Xu quickly got off his horse and came.
Kneeling on one knee, the messenger rushed to Gao Deng and reported to the army: "Report to the general that the whereabouts of the people of Mo County have been found in the Yanbei Mountain behind Mo County."
Hearing this, Gao Deng's eyes flashed, and he shouted: "Give me the details."
The messenger clasped his fists and continued to speak: "Yes! Several generals led the troops to search and found Mo Shoumin leading the people of Mo County to the main road. It seemed that he wanted to go somewhere else for temporary shelter, but several generals had already stopped him.
Save."
Under the cover of night, it was not clear what kind of expression was in Gordon's small eyes. I could only see him thinking for a moment, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Okay! I would like to ask you, general, whether any of the people of Mo County have ever escaped...
"
"No!" the soldier said hurriedly.
"Pass on my general's order to patrol the garrison and protect the people back to the city."
"Got the order!" The messenger soldier got up and rode away after receiving the order.
Xu An, who was beside him, had just seen the flash of cold light in Gao Deng's eyes. When he was about to speak, Gao Deng tilted his head and ordered: "Xu An, listen to the order."
Hearing this, Xu An was startled and at a loss. After hesitating for a moment, he knelt down with fists clasped in a military salute and shouted: "The general is here."
"You lead three hundred light cavalry and quickly go up the mountain to find the whereabouts of Yang Huchen among the people of Mojun and capture him on the spot without any mistakes." Gao Deng ordered.
Xu An suddenly raised his eyes and said in surprise: "General Yang is loyal and patriotic..."
When he was halfway through speaking, he saw the sharp light in the general's eyes, and swallowed back the second half of the sentence. However, he then thought about General Wan's fate, and he was worried and couldn't help but ask: "I dare to ask General, after he was captured,
, but what to do.”
Gordon's eyes flickered, murderous intent and hesitation intertwined. After a moment, he slowly said: "Capture Mo County and I will interrogate you personally."
Hearing this, Xu An, who was kneeling in military salute, finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up proudly, took the military order and said: "I have received the order, the general will lead the troops forward immediately."
Looking at Xu An who was riding away, Gao Deng shifted his eyes slightly and turned to the room behind him where Yan Qingchuan was being held. His fearful eyes flashed away, and then he was escorted by his own soldiers behind him. After whispering a few instructions, he mounted his horse and went back.
Within the Sheriff's Department.
The season is approaching early spring, the cold nights are not as long as before, the sky has turned slightly red, and the morning light is about to reappear.
The patrol soldiers guarding the north gate of Mo County couldn't help but yawned and fell asleep. Seeing this, the team leader beside him hurriedly reprimanded. Several soldiers, whose sleepiness was temporarily gone, all steeled themselves to guard the city gate.
Perhaps he had listened to the howling of the cold wind all night and the rustling of dead branches. The patrolling soldiers guarding the gate had lowered their alertness for the slightest noise, and did not notice at all the unconcealed sounds under the cold wind.
The sound of clothes was heard, and it was not until three figures, one green, one white, and one ink, appeared a few feet away from the north gate that the soldiers discovered them.
The soldier caught a glimpse of the three-color blurry figure appearing, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he lost all sleepiness. He raised his spear high and shouted loudly at the figure in front: "Who is that person?"
This loud shout caused the remaining soldiers to raise their heads and look for recognition. They also saw the figures of three people walking towards them with guns in hand.
The three of them were Gu Xiao and the others who hurried back all the way after taking a moment to adjust their breath. From the abduction of Mr. Yun, they deduced that He Ji wanted to kidnap people out of Yanbei, and the Golden Blade Sect behind him was even more closely related to the robbery.
He was implicated in plundering the people of Yanbei and attacking the patrols. He returned to Mo County to seek help from Yan Qingchuan, and at the same time wanted to use his power to mobilize the Yanbei army to intercept.
As he hurried on with all his strength, Gu Xiao replied that Yan Qingchuan had sent reinforcements, so he did not hide his appearance.
They were a little tired after walking all the way, but the vigilance of these gatekeepers fell into the eyes of the three of them. The man in the dark-colored robes who was walking at the end of the three people seemed to be puzzled, and he spoke to the young man in the ragged green robes ahead.
.
"Brother Mu, didn't you say that before falling into the valley, you helped the patrol to suppress the bandits? From what I saw, they didn't look like they were here to greet the savior."
The young man looked at his rags and laughed at himself and replied: "Brother Chixin, there are many soldiers on patrol, but not all of them have seen me. What's more, I look like this now. I can't be regarded as a bandit."
A thief is pretty good."
After finishing speaking, he turned back to Jiang Ningxue and said: "Miss Jiang, when I came here just now, I saw lights everywhere in Mo County. I think it was Brother Yan who sent reinforcements to bring all the people of Mo County back to Mo County.
, I will enter Mo County soon. I will first find this military medical officer to bandage the wound on my arm... If your internal injuries are not healed, then you should adjust your breathing in Mo County first. Regarding chasing people, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ningxue's cold autumn eyes seemed to be filled with suspicion, as if he was doubting that he was going to leave her alone again, thinking that in his haste that day, he violated their agreement and left her alone in the wind.
Jiabao recovered from his injuries and went on the road alone. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so he had to cough a few times to ease the atmosphere.
Looking back, the patrolling soldiers were approaching the three men. Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the leading young man, they were full of doubts. But when all the soldiers turned their eyes back to the woman in white, they were all shocked by Jiang Ningxue's beauty.
Although the fluttering white clothes were stained with a little dirt and looked a little embarrassed, her stunningly beautiful face looked more like a snow lotus emerging from the mud but unstained against the backdrop of these slightly dirty white clothes, which was pitiful.
Fortunately, Gu Xiao and the others did not have any ill intentions. Otherwise, if they had taken action at this time, the patrolling soldiers would have been killed by the sword before they had time to recover.
The leading corps commander had seen a bit of the world, and although he was temporarily distracted by Jiang Ningxue's peerless appearance, he forced himself to look away for just a moment and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "What are you looking at?
You must forget, we are here to suppress bandits in Mo County."
With a loud shout from the corps commander, the soldiers finally came to their senses and recalled the mission they had shouldered. Only then did they realize that there was something fishy about the three of them. Mo County was being attacked by bandits. Needless to say, the leading young man was in ragged clothes. This woman in white
I saw that he looked so pitiful that it was already suspicious that he could reach the gate of Mojun City, not to mention that there was this man in a dark black shirt following behind him.
The soldiers noticed something fishy, not to mention the corps commander. He glanced at the three of them with his eyes, and said with the rough tone of a soldier: "Where did you three come from, and why are you here.
"
Gu Xiao lowered his head and looked at his embarrassed appearance. Not to mention the soldiers who were already on guard, even the ordinary people would regard him as a bandit who had been living in the mountains and forests all year round. If Jiang was not like a fairy,
Ningxue was still by her side, but the patrolling soldiers were too lazy to ask and just took her down.
"Brothers of the patrol army, I... have an old relationship with the general, so I came here to pay a visit. I hope you can pass the news on." Gu Xiao gathered his thoughts and bowed his hands.
When several patrol soldiers heard that the young man had come looking for his general, they couldn't help but look at each other. After a moment, they all raised their heads and laughed. The laughter was not ridicule, but they didn't believe that the ragged boy in front of them knew their own general.
General.
Yanbei military discipline has always been strict. Although the corps commander on the side was teased by the boy's words and wanted to laugh, his guard disappeared. He suppressed his laughter and said to persuade: "Young man, don't look at the excitement here and join in.
, let me tell you, there are bandits in Mo County, and the back mountain is not safe, so you guys have to go back and forth from wherever you go."
After saying this, Wu Chang shouted to the soldiers who had not stopped laughing: "Why are you laughing? You may have violated military discipline and you will be punished. Stop laughing. Follow me back quickly and guard the city gate."
