From the meaning of [Yao Hu]'s words, it was obvious that he failed to bring Liu Xuan and [Huo Lin'er] back last time and received a heavy punishment.
Now his status in the city is probably not as good as that of [Zhao Ji] just now.
"General Boyue, please calm down. It won't be too late to kill him after I find out the whole story." Liu Xuan said.
Jiang Wei snorted coldly. What he hated most in his life was this kind of treacherous villain. If the Shu Han had not had these shameless villains behind it, they would not have ended up in such a miserable ending.
Soon the two were detained separately. The 1,000 soldiers who accompanied him were all imprisoned.
"Young General, please work hard again and go to [Pinghai City] with my order to allocate a batch of food and grass. The food and grass in the army can only last for one more day. I hope that Young General will go and come back as soon as possible." Jiang Wei said solemnly .
Liu Xuan nodded: "Don't worry, General Boyue. I will leave immediately after I question them carefully."
As he reached out to take the order, the original task of receiving grain and grass was directly transformed into escorting grain and grass to [Pinghai City].
"Brother Xuan, what should we do now?" Xun Xiaoxiao asked, holding his arm.
"Our troops are divided into two groups. You first go back to the city lord with the warrant. It would be best if he is willing to obediently deliver the food and grass to you. If not, we will think of other ways." Liu Xuan replied after pondering for a moment.
"What about you, great master?" [Candy'er] also wanted to come over and hold Liu Xuan's arm, but was overtaken by [Liu Yin] on the side, which made her a little annoyed.
"I'm going to interrogate those two guys and meet you later."
In the dungeon, Liu Xuan looked at the defeated [Yao Hu] and couldn't help but sneered.
"After all, you are a general in charge of ten thousand cavalry, but you are acting like this. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
[Yao Hu] was so angry that he clenched his fists when he heard this, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "It's not because of you, a bastard, that I became like this."
Seeing the other party's gloomy face, Liu Xuan did not continue to mock, but went straight to the point.
"Did Zhao Yuan ask you to do this?"
"Who else could be there besides him? My family is all under his control now, so don't expect me to do anything for you." [Yao Hu] said angrily.
Liu Xuan was not upset after hearing this, and continued to ask: "Is he still plotting against Qilin now?"
"kindness."
"Heh, do you want me to give you a chance to claim credit from him?"
Looking at the smile on Liu Xuan's face, [Yao Hu] couldn't help but feel a little in his heart. Just by looking at the other person's behavior, he knew that Liu Xuan must be planning some dirty trick.
Not long after, news came back from Xun Xiaoxiao. The city lord had been refuting the lack of food, saying that the food must have been contracted by [Zhao Ji] and [Yao Hu], and asked them to go find those two people. want.
"It's an expected thing. You ask the brothers in the city to spread rumors that they saw a unicorn in the east of the city."
"Ah, brother Xuan, are you planning to do something big again?"
Liu Xuan chuckled: "You will know later, just remember to let this rumor reach the ears of the city lord."
[Hongchen] Everyone worked very efficiently. It didn't take long for [Zhao Yuan] in the city lord's palace to receive the news of Qilin's appearance, which made him feel extremely excited.
Regardless of whether this rumor was true or not, there was no way he would miss it again.
"[Wei Feng], [Qi Kai], you two quickly bring 10,000 horses to capture that Qilin from my city lord. When the matter is accomplished, my city lord will definitely be richly rewarded!"
"Yes! Sir." The two people whose names were called hurried forward and saluted respectfully.
These two people were the two newly promoted confidants after he took office, and most of the troops in the city were under the control of these two people.
The deputy city lord on the side also hurriedly stepped forward to flatter him and said: "Congratulations, lord city lord, as long as you can tame that auspicious beast, you will be able to rise to prominence in the future, and you can expect to be crowned a marquis and become a prime minister!"
After hearing this, all the officials below also came forward to compliment and agree.
"Haha, don't worry, as long as you work hard for me, you will benefit from me in the future."
About half an hour after [Wei Feng] and [Qi Kai] led their troops out of the city, a guard on duty rushed in to report.
"Lord City Lord, Commander [Yao Hu] is back. He said he brought you a big gift."
[Zhao Yuan] was a little surprised when he heard this. Ever since he forcibly married Yao Hu's daughter [Yao Ying'er], who was known as the most beautiful woman in [Pinghai City], as his concubine, the other party had never given him a good look.
Could it be that he has changed his mind this time?
"Did he say what kind of gift it was? And shouldn't he be detained in [Fuchuan City]?"
"Commander Yao said that he was an old acquaintance with a general guarding there, so the other party did not embarrass him. He did not say what the specific gift was, but he seemed to be escorting a male prisoner next to him." The guard replied respectfully. .
[Zhao Yuan] When he heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Could it be that what he brought was the boy who had a contract with that Qilin before?
Thinking of this, he quickly strode towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
But halfway through, he remembered Liu Xuan's terrifying strength before, and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"You first go to the deputy city lord and ask him to mobilize 1,000 elites to protect them. Surround those two people.
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
Soon the deputy city lord came over with 10,000 men and surrounded [Yao Hu] and [Liu Xuan] tightly.
He slowly appeared after everything was arranged.
[Yao Hu] saw him coming out and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"The general has finally met the Lord of the City."
"Get up." [Zhao Yuan] gave him a hand, and when he saw Liu Xuan trapped tightly not far away, he couldn't help but feel happy, and his eyes towards [Yao Hu] became a little more friendly.
[Yao Hu] was also very sensible and pulled Liu Xuan over.
"Lord City Lord, I happened to meet this guy on my way back to the city, so I captured him for you."
"Haha, good, good. You did a good job, and this city lord will definitely reward you heavily when you turn around."
After saying that, he looked at Liu Xuan, who was bound by chains, and said with an arrogant expression: "Boy, weren't you very crazy before? Now you know how powerful this city lord is!"
"Humph, if I hadn't been careless, how could I have fallen into your hands!"
[Zhao Yuan] grinned: "I'm not interested in how you were captured. All you need to do is tell me where that Qilin is now. If you are still dishonest, you will never come out of the dungeon again in this life!"
Liu Xuan sneered when he heard this and did not answer. That look seemed even more arrogant than the other person's.
"You kid, don't refuse to drink the toast. You'll have to drink wine as a penalty! This city lord will give you one last chance. Tell me now!"
