As the city gate creaked open, ten thousand cavalry escorted Li Yeniang and the others towards the capital.
Liu Mingzhi understood very well that in the current situation, ten thousand cavalry were more than enough to protect Li Ye and his wife. The large and small state capitals around the capital no longer had the power to resist ten thousand cavalry.
As for martial arts masters, ordinary martial arts masters also dare not come looking for trouble at this time, otherwise they will inevitably end up dead without a burial place.
Considering the physical conditions of Li Ye and the others, Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to slow down his attack.
These three people are not as thick-skinned and battle-hardened as the brothers under their command. None of them are spoiled and pampered.
Under this situation, ten thousand cavalry finally escorted Li Ye and the others safely to the capital in the early morning of the next day.
Not long after Young Master Liu entered the military camp, Cheng Kai led another 20,000 cavalrymen and also slowed down and entered the city.
"See the Marshal!"
Young Master Liu, who had just put on his armor, looked at Cheng Kai who walked into the tent, nodded slightly in response, and sat on his chair.
"Tell me carefully about the situation in Yuezhou. What's going on?"
Cheng Kai nodded with a low expression.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, I humbled myself and led 20,000 brothers to raid Yuezhou without any delay."
"Everything was done in accordance with the instructions of the commander-in-chief. However, after arriving in Yuezhou City, all the people found in the rivers and lakes were fully-identified people, and there was no doubt about it."
"Later, the general asked the brothers to carefully check the soldiers guarding the city in Yuezhou, and learned from them that before we arrived, the people from the Fang Family Winery had already hurried out of the city through the north gate."
"The commander-in-chief also knows that the presence of people in the city is very unstable. Governments everywhere wish that there would be fewer and fewer people in the city, so the guards casually checked them and let them go in a hurry."
"By the time the generals arrive and seal the city, they will all be insignificant people."
Liu Mingzhi tapped the table with an indifferent expression: "Did you find any other clues?"
"Nothing was found, but there were signs of serious fighting in the Fangjia Winery. When we arrived, the building was empty and no one was found."
"Is there anything wrong with Yuezhou? Based on your years of experience, is there anything unusual?"
Cheng Kai thought about it carefully and finally shook his head with regret.
"No, everything is as usual. From the governor to the soldiers, everything is as usual. There is nothing weird. As for the people, when they saw the soldiers entering the city with clanging cavalry, they were so scared that they huddled in their homes and did not dare to go out.
"
Liu Mingzhi looked a little melancholy: "Is there nothing gained?"
"Forgive me, Commander, I am incompetent."
Liu Mingzhi stood up and waved his hands gently: "That's all, we have a group of very mysterious guys hidden in the darkness who are working against us."
"As for who these guys are, I can't be sure. The only thing I can know is that the methods of these people make me scared."
"The emperor's eldest son is resting in the military camp now. Tomorrow morning I will take him to the palace to enthrone him as emperor."
"Hurry up and join General Song and Qing. The safety of the military tent in the school grounds must be guaranteed."
"The troops are divided into four groups to patrol continuously at night. No one is allowed to get close to the eldest son of the emperor without my order."
"I have the order! I will retire at the end of the day."
After Cheng Kai left, Liu Mingzhi patted his head casually.
"Send the order, General Zhou Baoyu."
"Got the order!"
During the tea ceremony, Zhou Baoyu walked into the tent with his horse and sword raised.
"The last general, Zhou Baoyu, meets the commander-in-chief."
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Marshal".
"How's it going? Is there anyone in the Royal Envoy's house these days who sneaks up on someone who wants to do anything wrong with the Imperial Seal?"
"No, everything is as usual. The brothers stared at the imperial censor's mansion with their eyes wide open. No one came near."
"The brothers who stay with the imperial censor are all elite scouts. Don't try to hide any trouble from their eyes."
"Nothing has happened to the imperial censor and Yuxi yet."
When Liu Mingzhi heard this, he actually had a look of regret on his face.
"It's unreasonable. It's really unreasonable. Isn't it true that no one is interested in something as important as the national jade seal?"
"ah?"
Zhou Baoyu looked at Young Master Liu blankly: "Commander, why do you think you are eager for something to happen to the Imperial Seal?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head helplessly: "There are some things you don't understand, so go ahead and protect the safety of the emperor's eldest son."
"Yes, I will retire at the end."
After Zhou Baoyu left, Young Master Liu stayed in the tent for a few sticks of incense, explained some things to Du Yu and others, and then rushed home.
Along the way, Mr. Liu's face looked a little strange, suspicious, complicated, and unbelievable.
Young Master Liu, who was wandering in the world, was brought back home by Fengxing, who knew the way.
"Master, you are back."
Young Master Liu came to his senses and handed the reins of the horse to Liu Yuan: "Yes, I went out to do some urgent errands and just came back today. Where is the old man?"
"The master should be in the study. Young master, you can go and have a look. I'll let your servant take your mount to the backyard first."
"Okay, time to work."
Liu Mingzhi said goodbye to Liu Yuan with a faint smile and walked towards Liu Zhi'an's courtyard.
Looking at the children playing and playing in the corridor, Liu Mingzhi looked at them and passed through the corridor on the side, heading towards Liu Zhi'an's study.
"Old man, are you here?"
Liu Zhian's steady and powerful voice came from the study.
"I'm here, why do you have time to come to my study? Aren't you supposed to be too busy with the new emperor's affairs now?"
Liu Mingzhi walked directly into Liu Zhi'an's study and looked at Liu Zhi'an who was sitting on a chair holding an abacus and sorting out his books. Young Master Liu's eyes glanced at Liu Zhi'an's study for a moment.
"Old man, why haven't you seen Liu Yi, Liu Si and the others recently? Did you arrange to go out on business?"
Liu Zhi'an stopped writing and put an ink dot on the account book where he had stopped writing. He raised his eyes and glanced at Mr. Liu who had already consciously sat on the chair beside him.
"Why are you suddenly asking about Liu Ye? Do you need help with anything from them?"
Liu Mingzhi poured a cup of tea and took a sip. He gently held the cup and played with it, peeking at Liu Zhian's expression from time to time.
"The old man is awesome. I can't hide anything from you. I really need some help here. Qinglong and the others are still a bit inexperienced and not as good as Liu Ye, so I plan to come to you and borrow a few people.
"
Liu Zhi'an raised his eyes and glanced at Young Master Liu, his face as calm as usual and he was licking his lips at the roof outside the window.
"They are all watching from the rooftop. If you need anything, just go to Liu Yi. He will arrange the manpower you need. As long as he has the manpower, you can ask for as much as you need. No need to be polite to me."
Liu Mingzhi subconsciously stared out the window. The figures of Liu Yi, Liu Si, Liu Qi and the three people he was most familiar with came into his eyes. There were also many familiar masters from Liu Ye's brother sitting in the room.
The top man was talking and laughing lightly.
Liu Mingzhi put down the tea cup, and the look on his face became much more relaxed.
"Okay, if I need someone tomorrow, I'll call Liu Yizhi directly. If I don't have anything else to do, I'll go back first."
"Go away, I took the initiative to help you, and now you are licking your face again, you don't know how to be embarrassed."
Young Master Liu scratched his head and walked out of Liu Zhian's study and walked towards his courtyard.
After Young Master Liu left, Liu Zhi'an held the brush in his hand and was dazed for a moment, then placed the brush on the inkstone.
"Cancel all plans and don't interfere in anything."
"Let nature take its course."
As soon as Liu Zhi'an finished speaking, the window behind the screen in the study room made a slight sound without any movement, and the study room became quiet again, with only the faint movement of Liu Zhi'an writing on the account book.
