The scarred man gave the order, and the robbers behind him rushed out with a big knife in their hands, surrounding the caravan of disguised officers and soldiers.
"Be honest! If you are wise, hand over the money obediently, and I will spare your lives. If you dare to struggle needlessly, don't blame me for killing people without blinking an eye!"
The scarred man pointed the knife at everyone, and he was very arrogant.
The officers and soldiers looked at him coldly, with no fear on their faces.
The one-eyed man frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it and waved his hands to the robbers.
"Search for me!"
The robbers approached the carriage fiercely. The officers and soldiers guarding the carriage instantly turned around and pulled out the long knives hidden under the straw, and started fighting with the robbers before they could react!
"superior!"
Zhou Huaiqian, who was hiding in the dark, waved to the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers rushed out instantly!
"No, it's a scam!"
By the time the scarred man and the one-eyed man reacted, it was too late. Zhou Huaiqian quickly led the officers and soldiers to surround them heavily.
The officers and soldiers Zhou Huaiqian brought were not ordinary officers and soldiers, they were all soldiers who had been on the battlefield with him.
In their eyes, these robbers were not even small soldiers and crabs, but in just one cup of tea, they had all arrested them.
Death is death, injury is injury.
"General, we have captured them all. General, please give me your orders!"
Zhou Huaiqian glanced at the robbers behind him who were restrained by officers and soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "Find out their dens and catch them all!"
"yes!"
Under the severe torture and questioning by the officers and soldiers, the robbers did not last long before they were all recruited.
Zhou Huaiqian immediately led the officers and soldiers to the robbers' lair, arrested all the robbers, and imprisoned them in the Xuzhou County Government Prison.
After Zhou Huaiqian completed his mission, he hurried back to the imperial city. The Xuzhou County Magistrate couldn't thank anyone even if he wanted to thank him.
Zhou Huaiqian galloped all the way and killed two horses in order to get back to the imperial city as quickly as possible.
After returning to the imperial city, he did not rush to the palace to resume his duties, but went directly back to the general's mansion.
"Tell me everything that happened in the General's Mansion during my absence in the past few days, down to the smallest details."
The first thing Zhou Huaiqian did when he returned to the General's Mansion was to take a hot bath and change out of his dusty clothes.
"Yes, General."
The butler didn't think much and recounted everything that happened these days.
Zhou Huaiqian leaned against the tub, closed his eyes and listened quietly to what happened in the General's Mansion these days, to be precise, it was about Jiang Jingyu.
During the few days he went to Xuzhou, he couldn't help but think of Jiang Jingyu's face and every detail of their youth.
Zhou Huaiqian, who had already had a relationship with his late wife, knew very well that he was in love with Jiang Jingyu again.
After confirming his feelings, Zhou Huaiqian thought about Jiang Jingyu every moment in Xuzhou, wanted to see her, wanted to express his feelings to her, and wanted to say sorry to her.
He had been standing guard at the place where robbers often haunted, without eating, drinking or sleeping, squatting for a whole day and night, in order to wipe out the robbers as soon as possible so that he could come back early to see the person he missed.
But now he has obviously rushed back to the general's mansion, but he doesn't dare to see her. He can only learn about her from others.
He had treated her like that before and said those chilling words to her on their wedding night. He was afraid that she would resent him, become estranged from him, and no longer accept his feelings and overtures.
Zhou Huaiqian pinched his eyebrows in frustration, struggling in his heart.
What if Ayu was disappointed and disheartened by him because of his previous actions and words, how should he deal with his feelings for her?
"General, the water is cold. Do you want to add more water?"
After an unknown amount of time, a servant came in from outside the screen and asked in a low voice.
Zhou Huaiqian murmured: "If you like someone and want to get her, but are afraid that she will refuse, what will you do?"
The boy was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked around, and then lowered his head again after confirming that he and Zhou Huaiqian were the only ones in the room.
The young man thought for a moment and replied: "Back to General, I believe that feelings can be cultivated slowly. As long as you keep the person by your side first, you can think of other strategies later."
Zhou Huaiqian closed his eyes and said without changing his expression: "Stay? How to stay? What if she insists on leaving one day?"
The boy subconsciously said: "As long as the rice is cooked, you can naturally keep people."
Zhou Huaiqian opened his eyes suddenly, tapping his fingers on the edge of the bucket, and a look of deep meaning flashed across his face.
He waved to the boy and whispered in his ear.
The boy was stunned for a moment, then nodded sharply: "General, don't worry, I will take care of this matter for the general!"
"Well, go ahead, do it secretly, and never let the third person know."
"yes!"
…
It's night, and the twilight is dark.
During the day, Zhou Huaiqian went to the palace to resume his duties. When he came back, he did not return to the general's mansion. Instead, he went to the tavern. He drank alone and stayed in the tavern until dusk fell before leaving.
Zhou Huaiqian returned to the General's Mansion smelling of alcohol, and his steps were a little empty because he was drunk.
The guard in front of the general's mansion saw his figure and hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "General, be careful where you step!"
"Go away, you're not drunk, I'm not drunk."
Zhou Huaiqian brushed the two of them away and staggered into the door of the mansion.
The two guards looked at each other and were hesitating whether to follow them, when a boy ran out of the house.
"General, General, why are you drinking?"
The servant hurriedly held Zhou Huaiqian's arm and put it around his neck, and then helped Zhou Huaiqian walk towards the house.
The boy brought Zhou Huaiqian to the mansion. He looked around cautiously, and when he saw no one was around, he whispered: "General, everything is done."
Zhou Huaiqian paused slightly, then let the boy carry him to Nanyuan.
The boy brought Zhou Huaiqian to a stop near Nanyuan. He turned to Zhou Huaiqian and said, "General, Nanyuan is ahead. I will send the general here first. General, walk more slowly and be careful where you step."
As the boy spoke, he took Zhou Huaiqian's arm from the back of his neck and made him lean against the wall of Nanyuan.
Zhou Huaiqian's face was a little red from drinking. He supported the wall with one hand and rested his forehead on his arm. He looked drunk. He didn't know if he heard what the boy said.
The boy looked at him worriedly, and wanted to step forward to help him, but after thinking of Zhou Huaiqian's instructions, he held back, and finally gritted his teeth and retreated.
As soon as the boy left Nanyuan, Zhou Huaiqian raised his head.
The drunkenness faded from his face, leaving only the excitement and lust about what he was about to get.
Zhou Huaiqian strode into Nanyuan and went straight to the room where Jiang Jingyu was. He did not rush in, but stood in front of the door and listened to what was going on in the room.
After making sure there was no movement in the room, he opened the door and walked in.
There was no lamp in the room, so Zhou Huaiqian relied on the memory in his mind to go to the screen in the inner room. Through the screen, he could vaguely see a small bulge on the bed.
Zhou Huaiqian's breath tightened, and when he thought that he would get the person he had been thinking about these days tonight, his lower abdomen suddenly became unbearably hot.
He took a deep breath, walked to the side of the screen, and walked towards the inner room...
At the same time, Song Wenjing flew to Nanyuan as usual, and finally stopped over the room where Jiang Jingyu was.
As soon as he arrived, he suddenly noticed another breath in the room, and murderous intent instantly filled his cold eyes!
Song Wenjing raised her big palm slightly, shattering the tiles under her body, and flew into the room!
