An Cheng and Wu Wanli turned around and saluted.
Wei Yu glanced at Xiao Jiuye on the couch: "How is he?"
An Cheng said: "The medical officials have just checked and said that the energy and blood were excessively depleted, which is a bit dangerous."
The military medical officer was worried: "Actually, if ordinary people were to encounter this, their lives would have been lost long ago."
Wu Wanli said: "Xiao Jiu practices the Chunyang Palace Dao Zong Heart Technique, and his physical strength is different from ordinary people. He will definitely get through it."
Fei Lian also wanted to say something. He looked at Su Jiuyao with his eyes closed, and then at Master Mao lying next to him. He just flattened his mouth and held back the tears in his eyes.
Wei Yu was about to take a closer look at Su Jiuyao, but unexpectedly, Xiao Jiuye grabbed his scarred hand on the couch and shouted: "Mr. Hou!"
Several people were stunned, and the military medical officer hurriedly said: "This must be calling the Chief Qin of the Scout Camp."
He explained to Wei Yu: "The Marquis of Qin is a very good man. He always takes care of the brothers in the camp. Xiaojiu is the youngest in the army, and he takes care of him as much as he treats his own brothers. Previously, the Marquis of Qin was because of I offended Hu Xiang, and when he led his troops out of the city, he was still wounded by a stick. It’s true that good people don’t live long... I must have thought about it in my mind, and that’s why I couldn’t forget it even in my coma.”
Wei Yu looked carefully at Su Jiuyao's face, unable to connect the beautiful yet childish face in front of him with the "Taotie General" in his memory.
But in that life-threatening moment, when he suddenly held his waist, the strength and feeling were so unexpectedly familiar that it made Wei Yu's heart palpitate.
When dealing with Mr. Huang and others just now, he was always at ease no matter what.
But when facing this unconscious young man, she always felt like "it's too much to bear", which always made her unable to calm down and face him carefully.
After just a quick glance, Wei Yu turned around and ordered the military medical officer: "Please take care of me."
The military doctor said he didn't dare.
When Wei Yu was about to go out, Anxian Cheng said: "I wonder what the Wei inspection will do next. Are you going to stay at Yelang Pass?"
"Oh, things here are settled. I want to leave as soon as possible."
An Cheng said: "That's what I meant. After all, Wu Dutou and I are not in the Yamen, so I'm afraid something will go wrong."
Seeing what they said, Wu Wanli looked at the night outside and said, "The weather is bad and it's getting late at night. It's really dangerous to walk at night. Even if we want to go back to the city, we have to wait until tomorrow."
An Cheng thought for a moment and said to Wei Yu, "What do you think of the inspection?"
Wei Yu nodded: "Okay."
Before leaving the house, Qian Weiyu turned around and saw Little Master Jiu lying quietly on the couch.
Covering up the sadness in his eyes, Wei Yu turned around.
Anxian Prime Minister accompanied Wei Yu to the corridor, and was about to say a few words about the details of the military affairs, but he heard Wei Yu say: "As far as I know, Anxian Prime Minister's family is in the Jiangnan area, and there is a chance to go back, why don't you go?" Woolen cloth?"
An Cheng didn't expect that she really knew everything, so he smiled and said, "I don't dare to hide it from the guards. I do have some money at home, and they have tried to call me back many times, but... no new county magistrate has ever come to Changhuai." Come, if I leave too, I’m afraid there won’t even be anyone in charge. Even if Wu Dutou is capable, he’s not very versatile, so it’s better for me to stay and do something.”
Previously, because of the case of Butcher Wang, he had experienced the trial of Anxian Cheng. Wei Yu already had a general understanding of this person.
The Prime Minister of Anxian County has a sense of responsibility, but he is a bit too "honest" and not so thoughtful. Such a person may be a good official, but he cannot become a bright official.
Although she was involved in the case of Butcher Wang and the development of the case was as she expected, what if there was another treacherous and evil person who designed him in the same way? Wouldn't it lead to unjust, false and wrongful convictions?
However, Anxian Cheng is not that kind of corrupt official. In this world, an official like him is already rare, so it is not good to punish him harshly first, let alone...
Wei Yu stared at An Cheng and said nothing for a while.
Her eyes were soft and cold, like the moonlight in the sky. Anxian Cheng felt uneasy when she looked at her, and couldn't help but ask: "Why is the patrol inspector looking at me like this? Is it...that I said something wrong? Or maybe somewhere else?" make a mistake?"
Wei Yu said: "Oh, it's nothing, I just... suddenly thought of something."
An Cheng said: "I don't know what's going on? Is it related to the villain?"
Wei Yu shook his head, took a step towards the railing, looked at the wet rain on the ground outside, and said: "There is no need to worry, county magistrate. I just thought that Xi Di and I are incompatible with each other at the moment, so I even put spies in." How can you know that the county government is clean when you are in the army? Besides, outside Yelang Pass is the territory of Xidi. If a war is about to break out one day, Changhuai County will also bear the brunt. The county magistrate is not afraid... When that day comes, he will not think of a way out for himself. A way out?"
An Cheng looked at her in surprise and said for a long time: "Is the inspection a reminder, a warning, or..."
Wei Yu said: "It's just a private conversation between me and you. I just want the county magistrate to tell the truth."
Anxian Cheng blinked, and then said: "I'm just a small county magistrate, a minor official who has not yet entered the imperial court. I don't have any need to speak eloquently to the patrol inspector, but... I have actually thought about what you mentioned, But 'Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.' Since I was assigned to Changhuai County and became the 'Second Master' here, I should act like a qualified head of the family and play a leading role for the people of Changhuai. If one day Xidi People are really... then I can only fulfill my duties as a small official in Daqi and fulfill my last loyalty, that's all. Being a deserter is absolutely unacceptable."
He was very serious when he spoke, even a little pedantic in his seriousness.
Wei Yu, however, looked at An Cheng intently until he heard his last sentence.
She let out a long breath.
An Cheng thought she didn't believe it, so the young man showed a bitter smile on his face, but he still said seriously: "I have never said this to anyone, I just wrote a letter long ago. If I get to that helpless situation, I can just ask people to Bringing the letter back to Jiangnan can be regarded as a little explanation to the family. Of course, the health inspector may not believe it, and I won’t either..."
"No," Wei Yu interrupted him and said, "Of course I believe it."
An Cheng was stunned: "Health inspection?"
Although he is not shrewd enough, he is not stupid either. His words are a bit out of place in today's world.
Even after most people heard about it, they would think that he was just shouting slogans hypocritically and passionately trying to become famous.
Wei Yu met his doubtful eyes and said, "I really believe it."
There was an indescribable sadness in her gentle tone, but An Cheng didn't hear it, and only felt that the inspection guard was sincere.
It is expected that Xi Di Xizuo in the patrol company would know this. It should not be a surprise if such a capable person with insight into the subtle things knows his own mind which can be learned from the sun.
At this moment, Anxian Cheng felt that his heart and eyes were very bright. He had always been afraid and wary of Wei Yu, but the way he looked at her now seemed to have a kind of kindness, as if he was seeing a rare person in the world. "confidant".
Huang Shiduo sent someone to invite Wei Yu to come and talk. Wei Yu said goodbye to An Cheng and followed him to the front hall.
When she passed the Yuanyue Gate, she looked back at An Cheng and saw that An Xian Cheng's eyes were shining and he looked very happy.
Of course Wei Yu knew that An Cheng was not lying, because in her memory, Anxian Cheng did fulfill the promise he made with his own life.
Mr. Huang’s study room.
Before Wei Yu entered the door, he heard Huang Shiduo shout: "What do you do for food? You can't even look down on someone?"
Someone said: "We were naturally on guard and did not dare to go against the command of the general town. However, the man actually bit his own tongue... It was too late to save him."
"Yes, Mr. Zhen. He is very cruel. He bit off his tongue. How can you imagine that?"
Wei Yu paused, and inside Huang Shiduo said angrily: "How should I explain to the patrol inspector now!"
It turned out that at this hour, Zou Yan, who was originally being held in a cell for interrogation, bit his tongue and committed suicide.
Huang Shiduo dismissed the crowd, asked Wei Yu to sit down, and personally poured a cup of tea to her.
Wei Yu looked at the color of the tea and heard Mr. Huang say: "This is Sophora japonica tea. It has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. I am accustomed to drinking this tea. I must do as the Romans do when I am in the countryside."
Wei Yu thanked him and asked him why he had called him here. Huang Shiduo told him that his subordinates had just come to report Zou Yan's suicide and asked him to apologize.
Wei Yu tasted the Sophora Miao tea, which was refreshing and slightly sweet: "In that case, how should Hu Xiang cook it?"
Mr. Huang looked thoughtful and said, "Hu Xiang's injuries are too severe and I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for a few days. Since he has colluded with Zou Yan, Su Jiu is naturally not guilty."
Wei Yu put down the tea cup: "Does the town still have the intention to protect Hu Xiang? After all, the Hu family in Yuzhou is not easy to offend."
Huang Shiduo looked at her inquiringly: "Inspection Inspector, you are sent from the capital, and you are also a very smart person. I don't need to say some things. The so-called mercy is to be spared... Leave a ray of hope, and you will be easy to deal with in the future. See."
Wei Yu lowered his eyes: "I just ask Mr. Huang, if Wu Dutou and the others hadn't come this time, would Mr. Huang be willing to stay in Jiuyao Xianxian?"
Huang Shiduo was at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, he said, "The patrol inspector only wants to keep Su Jiu alive, so why don't I keep him alive?"
Wei Yu sneered.
Huang Shiduo sighed, looked at Wei Yu's face, and suddenly said: "I have something that I would like to ask the guard to inspect."
Wei Yu looked sideways and saw Mr. Huang take out something from his sleeve. It rustled and turned out to be a piece of paper.
Spreading the piece of paper on the table, Huang Shiduo looked at Wei Yu and said, "This was sent to various places by special personnel on Pegasus from the capital. It is said that a very important staff member has been lost in Prince Ji's Mansion and is being searched all over the world."
Wei Yu's eyebrows frowned slightly. Huang Shiduo said: "Of course, the name of the staff member is not written on it, but the appearance described seems to be similar to that of the patrol inspector. I wonder what the patrol officer meant?"
Wei Yu's face didn't change: "Is the headquarter trying to blackmail me with this? It's a pity that the world looks much the same."
"What's the point of threatening?" Huang Shiduo smiled bitterly: "I just want the inspection team to be more open-minded. I'll let Su Jiu go, so you can stop pursuing Hu Xiang... But I will definitely give an explanation on the face of it."
Wei Yu said: "You should have given an explanation long ago. If Hu Xiang had been dealt with earlier, why would he have killed so many innocent soldiers?"
Huang Shiduo lowered his head and put his fist on the table for a moment: "I think so, but if I touch him, someone will naturally touch me. I... just want to stay in this Wild Wolf Pass for a few more years. I've been blocking the Xidi people for several years! That's why I acted on my own rights..."
Wei Yu was about to speak when a confidant outside reported: "Su Jiuyao just woke up."
Huang Shiduo waved his hand and looked at Wei Yu.
Looking at each other, Wei Yu said: "Mr. Huang, although your intentions are good, I cannot agree with your actions. Hu Xiang acted recklessly and harmed many soldiers. They are all your brothers and sisters, but you can't bear to see them go." Are you willing to die and act like you, don't you know that everyone in the army doesn't know? I don't think you can guard Yelang Pass well."
Huang Shiduo's face was ashen and he stopped talking.
"Also," Wei Yu stood up, picked up the piece of paper on the table and said: "If my prediction is correct, you will not report the knowledge without reporting it. You are even afraid of the little Hu family. I don't believe you have the discipline to resist." The palace is so brave, I guess...you have already sent someone to report the news, right?"
