Wishful Things

Qin Wu retreated to one side, obviously clasped his fists and bowed in salute, but it gave the impression that his back was straighter and straighter: "General!"

Many soldiers in the courtyard immediately saluted and said in unison——

"See General!"

There are only a hundred people, but this sound seems to have the power of a thousand troops.

"Grandfather!" Xu Mingshi was overjoyed, and quickly walked towards the old man.

Lord Zhen waved his hand, motioning for his grandson to come to his side.

Seeing this movement, Xu Mingshi's eyes turned red as he sprinted forward.

He stood beside the old man, and at this moment, he only felt as relieved as a bird returning to its nest——when his grandfather woke up, he was not afraid of anything, even though the fear was not fear of death from the beginning to the end. mean.

"The general is awake?!" Zhou Shilang reacted, both surprised and delighted.

Then in the next moment, after realizing that there was Yue Pei standing beside him, and his performance seemed to be overly pleasantly surprised, he revealed a bit of hypocrisy that was just right: "It's really great that the general can wake up... ..."

"General Xu was able to wake up safely, it's really God's blessing for me." Yue Peiqiang suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said.

It is extremely weird for a person to be able to hold his breath until now, but he is still awake now!

Lord Zhen Guo followed the sound and looked at him.

Meeting this line of sight, Yue Pei cupped his hands and said: "The official's surname is Yue, and his name is Pei. This time, I am serving His Majesty..."

"The old man has just heard about it." Zhen Guogong interrupted him in a calm tone.

Yue Pei's face froze slightly, and when he was about to speak again, he heard the old man order: "Come here, take it down—"

Yue Pei suddenly raised his eyes.

Who are you going to take down? !

——And even though he couldn't believe what he judged, he had already seen several soldiers coming towards him.

"I don't know what the general means?!" Yue Pei asked guardedly, holding the knife on his waist.

"Why—" the old man's voice was thick and majestic: "colluded with the deserters of the Li clan, burned the post house, assassinated the old man... Under all these charges, the old man can't get you?"

"..." Faced with this sudden and direct attack, Yue Pei's eyes changed drastically, "Although I respect the general, I can't accept this irrelevant charge! The general said this, I don't know if there is evidence exist?"

"Evidence?" Lord Zhen Guo frowned, and turned his head slightly to look in the direction of the room: "Just before the assassin died, he confessed that he was ordered by Your Excellency, and this is the evidence."

The soldiers supporting each other exchanged glances.

Is there... is there such a thing?

However, in just a moment, there was an answer—yes!

"I heard it with my own ears!" The soldier looked solemn and showed no flaws.

Another soldier immediately dragged the corpse out and said, "It came from this man!"

"..." Qin Wuqiang, who hadn't had time to do anything, resisted the urge to scratch his head.

He didn't keep up!

What use is he for this brain!

Looking at the thrown body, Yue Pei's eyes shook several times, and he gritted his teeth secretly.

This lie came out of nowhere!

He arranged for these things to be done by his subordinates. It is impossible for those assassins to know his identity, so how can he identify him? !

Moreover, these deserters have family members in his hands, so they are all dead anyway, how could they say too much before dying?

But can he say these words? !

During this gap, the two soldiers had stepped forward to restrain him.

"... General, this must be a slander!" Yue Pei suppressed the disgust of swallowing flies, and said: "This is the first time for an official to come to Dongyuan, so how can he have any collusion with the deserters of the Li family? I think this must be Seeing that the assassination failed, these assassins wanted to use it to sow discord, the general must not fall into the trap!"

"Whether it is slander or not, the old man will investigate thoroughly. It is only to testify, and the only thing to do is to act impartially-you can rest assured that before the real investigation, the old man will never hurt your life." Zhen Guogong didn't want to say too much, and directly ordered: "Take people down and keep them under strict supervision!"

Lice on a bald man's head, what more evidence do you need?

If there is no need to investigate, there is no need to lock him up first—so as not to cause any annoying moths on the road and delay his return home.

Looking at the old man who didn't even bother to go through too many procedures, Yue Pei anxiously looked at Zhou Shilang.

Zhou Shilang hurriedly looked at Zhen Guogong and said: "General, there must be a misunderstanding..."

Yuepei had already been forced to turn around forcibly.

Zhou Shilang was still saying: "It is absolutely impossible for Mr. Yue Qian to collude with the deserters of the Li family. Please tell the general!"

Yuepei, who was pushed forward, had a mouthful of blood choked in his throat.

What's the use of talking...but stop!

After finishing these few sentences, let me tickle them here!

The dignified imperial servant, how difficult it is to take a strong hand to protect him!

It wasn't until he was escorted out of the yard that Zhou Shilang paused, then sighed, and said to Zhen Guo: "I believe that General Yue Qian will be innocent."

Zhen Guogong said "Yes", "Please rest assured Zhou Shilang on this point, the old man's subordinates will never wrong any innocent people."

Then he said: "This time I came to Dongyuan, Zhou Shilang has worked hard all the way."

"The general speaks too seriously. This subordinate is just following orders." Zhou Shilang glanced at the assassin in the courtyard, and said, "The general is just recovering from a serious illness, and he still needs to take care of his health so that he can recuperate—these trivial matters can be left to you." The subordinates should do it, and if there is a place where the subordinate officials can serve on their behalf, the general will just order it."

This is polite words, but also the truth.

Lord Zhen nodded slightly: "What happened tonight is quite disturbing, and we have to hurry tomorrow, Zhou Shilang, please go back and rest."

In his current situation, those who shouldn't be involved don't need to be involved.

Zhou Shilang raised his hand to salute: "I will take my leave."

"Take everyone down." After Zhou Shilang left, Lord Zhen Guo instructed Qin Wu.

"Yes! This subordinate takes orders!"

Qin Wu responded with a loud voice, as if he was taking on some great task, but his eyes were reddish - it had been a long time since he had been appointed by a general.

After giving Qin Wu an order, Lord Zhen Guo turned around and went back to the study.

"Second Uncle was injured?!"

Xu Mingshi followed him in, and he couldn't help being surprised when he saw Xu Yun lying on the low couch with his eyes closed, and Doctor Qiu standing by.

"It's poisoning." Divine doctor Qiu said: "The poisonous needle has been taken out, and he should wake up soon."

Xu Mingshi wanted to ask more questions when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching.

Turning his head to look, he saw that it was King Yan and Yun Liu who had just hid in the dark in front of people.

"The general is awake."

"General—"

Duke Zhen nodded, looked at King Yan, with a smile in his eyes, raised his hand and said, "My lord."

King Yan let go of the tension in his heart that hadn't been exposed for several days. At this moment, his whole body relaxed, and he asked, "How is the general feeling now? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

When Zhen Guozheng was about to answer, a weak voice suddenly sounded: "Father..."
