Seeing this, Yun Zhonghe immediately stood up from the chair, rushed forward and hugged Qinxiang in time, with a look of extreme worry and grief in his eyes, and he used trembling fingers to explore Qinxiang's breath.
Xiang Yichun also frowned, somewhat empathizing, "Don't worry, Master Yun, I've confirmed that Miss Qinxiang just fainted."
"Fortunately, the governor sent me there in time, and her life is not in danger."
Yun Zhonghe also detected Qinxiang's breath at this moment, saw the marks on his beloved's neck, and thought that he almost killed her due to a moment of negligence, the seven-foot man couldn't help but blush, and tightened his eyes. He hugged the beauty in his arms tightly.
After slowing down for a while, Yun Zhonghe gently placed the unconscious Qinxiang on the ground, stood up, with an extremely grateful look in his eyes, clasped his fists heavily, and then knelt down on one knee, "Thank you very much, Governor Xiao. The Lord’s saving grace!”
Xiao Chen hurriedly supported him, with admiration in his eyes, "You don't have to be polite, Master Yun. This is just a simple task for the governor, and it's not worth mentioning."
"No, Governor Xiao! Your great kindness will be rekindled for me!" Yun Zhonghe was so grateful that he knelt down on one knee and solemnly clasped his fists, his eyes swollen with gratitude and the aftermath of the disaster, " Qinxiang is my life, if Qinxiang has any shortcomings, I will not be able to rest in peace even if I die!"
"But now, you saved her!"
"I came to harm you because of my wrong thoughts, but you can be so careless about past grudges. I'm...ashamed!"
The more Yun Zhonghe said, the more the admiration in his eyes grew, and a strong regret emerged in his heart. For a moment, he felt that he had always been a chivalrous and righteous person, but compared with Xiao Chen, he was like a stream. Seeing the ocean, I feel ashamed.
"Lord Governor, from today on, my life, Yun Zhonghe, belongs to you! Whenever you need me, I will definitely show up!"
Xiao Chen was a little embarrassed by his solemn confession, so he smiled and helped him up, "Okay, this is all for later. This governor is such a casual job, you don't need to take it too seriously."
"It's rare for the two of you to finally get married. You should live your own little life from now on."
Yun Zhonghe's eyes were even more grateful. If Xiao Chen wanted to repay a favor, it wouldn't matter. He would just do it. But the young governor in front of him actually said the life-saving favor regardless of past grudges so lightly. How can one not admire such a broad mind and such kindness without expecting repayment?
"Lord Governor, I will keep this great kindness in my heart."
"I, Yun Zhonghe, will never break my promise!"
Holding his fist heavily, Yun Zhonghe didn't say anything more about this. He knew that Xiao Chen was not a person who liked to be conceited and submissive, so he just remembered this kindness deeply in his heart and made up his mind to repay the kindness.
"In order to prevent Qinxiang's family from suffering retaliation, I won't stay any longer. I'm going to kill Li Bingzhu to avoid future troubles."
Yun Zhonghe bowed again and prepared to leave.
"Don't worry." Xiao Chen stopped him calmly and calmly persuaded: "Li Bingzhu is a fourth-grade official after all, and there are many soldiers in his house. With your mere fifth-grade martial arts, I'm afraid you are no match for these soldiers. Go there rashly." You will only lose your life in vain, it is not worth it."
"Don't worry, since I have helped you, I will help you to the end."
"I hereby assure you that Li Bingzhu will be imprisoned before dawn tomorrow morning, and within three days, you will see his head on his neck. How about that?"
When Yun Zhonghe heard this, his eyes were shocked again.
In his lifetime, he has never seen a man as chivalrous as Governor Xiao!
"Lord Governor..." For a moment, his voice couldn't help but trembled. Thousands of words condensed in his heart, leaving only endless, silent respect and gratitude!
"Okay, it's getting late, and the governor is also busy with other things. Please hurry up and take Qinxiang out of the city. We'll see you again by chance."
Xiao Chen patted him on the shoulder, without any intention of taking credit, and he didn't take tonight's rescue at all.
Yun Zhonghe's eyes were full of deep friendship, and his deep gratitude was more and more integrated into his bones and blood. He looked at Xiao Chen deeply for a moment, with thousands of words condensed in his heart, and finally, he gave a deep bow.
Secretly making up his mind that this life would belong to Xiao Chen from now on, Yun Zhonghe picked up the sleeping Qin Xiang and disappeared into the night.
…
In the post house, Xiang Yichun couldn't help but have a trace of worry in his eyes. He cupped his hands and said to Xiao Chen: "Master Governor, when Li Bingzhu saw his subordinates going to rescue Qinxiang, he must have guessed that his conspiracy was exposed, and he was afraid that he would jump into the wall even more anxiously. Do we want to defend here first?”
Xiao Chen glanced at the anti-poem on the desk, with a hint of mocking contempt in his eyes. He picked it up and burned the poem in an oil lamp. He said casually: "Why defend against a turtle in a jar? Just catch him." "
He had already read through all the ledgers during the day. At this moment, Li Bingzhu's crimes were already confirmed one by one. The reason why he did not arrest the person immediately was because he was too lazy to move at night.
But since I've been woken up now, it doesn't hurt to stretch my muscles.
"Brother Xiang, you immediately take the governor's imperial order and go to Daotai Military Mansion to mobilize two teams of officers and soldiers. We will go to Tongyuan Mansion to arrest people."
Xiao Chen took out the imperial envoy's letter. The determination and steady self-confidence in his eyes made his figure appear taller in the moonlight. He did not look like a sinister and cunning eunuch in the court, but like a spear-wielding eunuch. Horses, generals galloping on the battlefield.
Both Ji Hongluan and Shu Fei's eyes fell on Xiao Chen, and there was a strong sense of appreciation and admiration in their eyes, and even they themselves were not aware of it.
However, Ji Hongluan quickly came to her senses, clenched her two swords and stepped forward, saying firmly: "I want to go too. Why don't you call me for such a fun thing?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, with a bit of a smile in his eyes, "This is business, what's the fun in arresting someone?"
Ji Hongluan pursed her lips and stepped forward stubbornly, standing in a row with Xiang Yichun, "I don't care, I'm going."
"Why, am I not from your house? I have signed the deed of betrayal, why can't I go if Xiang Yichun can go?"
Ah this...
Xiao Chen was even more amused by her. It seems that this girl has openly claimed her identity as a slave? This is a good thing.
In this way, how could he, the kindest master to his servants, not satisfy the requirements of his beautiful little slave?
"Brother Xiang, ask Lin Yi to send someone to protect the wife, and ask Xiaohong to go with us." Xiao Chen immediately showed his adult beauty and ordered happily with a smile.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it," Ji Hongluan muttered and agreed with satisfaction. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Wait? What did you call me?"
"Xiao! Chen!"
"I told you not to call me Xiaohong, it's so unpleasant. My name is Hongluan, Hongluan!"
The beauty in red, who looked satisfied just now, suddenly jumped up and down with anger.
Xiao Chen grinned and smiled, "Yes, Xiaohong."
"Let's go, Xiaohong."
