Zhao Guangzong shook his head, "Xiao Qing, I think we should wait a little longer. It won't be too late to wait until the young lady wakes up before summoning the messenger. If we send it now and say that the young lady has been poisoned, wouldn't Mr. Liu be even more anxious?"
After hearing this, Xiao Qing thought for a moment and nodded slightly. Yes, what Zhao Guangzong said made sense. If Liu Rumei was poisoned now, Liu Xiangnan would not die in a hurry.
At this time, Liu Xiangnan in Wannian City was not idle. Early that morning, the emperor's imperial edict came, and it was a formal edict, not an oral instruction.
This imperial edict restored Liu Xiangnan to his post and restored him to his status as a marquis. In addition, it also allowed him to temporarily take charge of the city's troops and horses and preside over the overall situation.
At the same time, Liu Xiangnan was given a task to track down the murderer of Xiao Jingyun.
After receiving the imperial edict, Liu Xiangnan expressed his frown.
Liu Xiangnan was worried because the murderer's accomplices were not caught at the scene. To catch the murderer now would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
But if the murderer cannot be caught, the poison of Prince Xiao Jingyun cannot be cured.
At this time, Liu Xiangnan missed Zhu Meng a little. Zhu Meng had stayed in the Great Earth Kingdom for so long. If he didn't die, he might be able to help him again, but it was meaningless to think about it now.
At this moment, Liu Kai hurried in, taking three steps and two steps at a time, and stumbled into the room, "Master."
Seeing Liu Kai's appearance, Liu Xiangnan raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you behave in such a panic?"
"Master, someone is coming from Shuozhou, a man named Zheng Hai. He said there is news about the young lady."
Hearing this, Liu Xiangnan stood up immediately.
"Where is the man? Let him in quickly."
Liu Kai turned around and went out. With little effort, he brought Zheng Hai here.
As soon as Zheng Hai entered the study, he knelt down with a thud.
"I've met Mr. Liu Hou!"
Liu Xiangnan held the table with both hands, as if about to stand up, widened his eyes, and asked impatiently, "You, do you have any news about Rumei?"
Zheng Hai clasped his fists and said loudly, "Back to the Marquis, a few days ago, the young lady and I turned them upside down in the Great Earth Kingdom, and at the same time rescued many brothers who were captured by the Earth Kingdom."
Liu Xiangnan looked at Zheng Hai intently, listening carefully to every word he said, not daring to express his anger, let alone interrupt him.
"Later, we fell into the trap of the Great Earth Kingdom and were targeted by them. We couldn't get rid of it. Xiao Qinghe also strengthened his defense. Seeing that I couldn't come back, the young lady took Xiaoqing to the Qing River in the Great Earth Kingdom alone. Guangcheng said that he wanted to make some noise over there to attract the enemy's attention, so let's go back to Dacang Kingdom first."
"As expected, the enemy fell into the trap. Jonah led the army back to aid Qingguang City, and I took my brothers back to Dacang Country safely."
"But, but, the young lady still stays in the Great Earth Country..."
When he heard the end, Liu Xiangnan's eyes were filled with tears. He let out a long sigh, leaned back on the chair, and didn't speak for a long time.
Obviously, Zheng Hai gave him a glimmer of hope, but in the end, Liu Rumei stayed in Datou Country. Isn't that still a matter of life and death?
But he was the Marquis after all, and he quickly regained his composure. He straightened his thoughts, looked at Zheng Hai and asked in a deep voice, "How many of you have returned in total? How many are there in the Great Earth Kingdom?"
"Back to the Marquis, there were about 5,000 people who stayed in the Great Earth Kingdom at the beginning. We have less than 100 people back this time. Most of the rest should have returned or are hiding."
Hearing this, Liu Xiangnan stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and nodded slightly, "Five thousand people, it is very difficult to withdraw, but we can stay in the big soil country in this cold world. It’s even harder to survive in the frozen ground.”
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Zheng Hai, "You go down and rest, Liu Kai, give him some silver!"
"Master Marquis, I don't want any money, I just came to deliver a message to you." After saying this, Zheng Hai bowed respectfully, then turned and left.
After Zheng Hai left, Liu Xiangnan shed tears.
Liu Rumei's choice is very tough and in line with her personality. But this is too worrying.
At this time, Liu Rumei had already woken up, not to mention that the medicine prescribed by Uncle Bang was really effective.
At noon that day, Liu Rumei had opened her eyes slightly, and Xiao Qing was very excited to see Liu Rumei awake.
Lying next to Liu Rumei's ear, she whispered, "Miss, Miss, can you hear me?"
Liu Rumei opened her lips and uttered a soft "Yes!"
Just this word made Xiaoqing jump with joy.
Xiao Qing tucked Liu Rumei's back a few more times, and then made the fire even brighter.
Then he went out to see Zhao Guangzong.
Seeing Zhao Guangzong, Xiao Qing said impatiently, "General Zhao, General Zhao, miss, wake up."
As soon as he heard that Liu Rumei had woken up, Zhao Guangzong stood up suddenly, "Is it true?"
Xiaoqing nodded, "Really, just now I asked her if she could hear me? She said yes!"
"That's great, that's great. This old stick man is really powerful. He detoxified the lady in one go."
After saying that, Zhao Guangzong hurried to the side room in the backyard, where Uncle Bang was arranged to rest. It was almost noon, and Uncle Bang had already started to pour himself a drink.
Seeing Zhao Guangzong come in, he smiled slightly and said, "Based on the time, Miss Liu should be awake by now."
Zhao Guangzong came forward, bowed, clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Bang, thank you very much. You are the great benefactor of our entire army."
But Xiao Qing over there had already lifted up his clothes and knelt down with a groan, "Uncle Lao Bang's life-saving grace will be unforgettable to Xiao Qing."
Uncle Lao Bang smiled and walked forward, patted Xiao Qing's shoulder gently, "Miss Xiao Qing, there is no need to be so polite, General Zhao, you don't have to worry too much, as long as Miss Liu wakes up, I will feel better mentally." .”
Zhao Guangzong came forward with a smile, poured a glass of wine, and respectfully brought it to Uncle Lao Bang, "Uncle Lao Bang, on behalf of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, I would like to toast you a drink."
Uncle Laobang smiled and took the glass and drank it in one gulp. "Okay, I'll drink this glass of wine. General Zhao, you go and do your work. I'll drink two glasses here myself, and then I'll have a good sleep afterward."
Zhao Guangzong understood that this was a euphemistic order to expel guests, and he did not want him to stay.
After Zhao Guangzong and Xiao Qing thanked them again, they both walked out.
After returning to his residence, Zhao Guangzong dared to write a letter and send it to Wannian City by carrier pigeon. Liu Rumei woke up and could report the news now.
In the blink of an eye, it was dark again, and Duobang sneaked into Liu Xiangnan's mansion again that night.
This time is different from the past. The lights in Liu Xiangnan's study are also on. He is worried about Liu Rumei and can't sleep now.
Liu Yuanwen seemed a little uneasy. He was worried about his sister and his father.
