"Stop knocking!" Zhao Xuanyi took a coat and put it on, walked to the door and opened it. It was not yet dawn outside, and Tang Tianli was standing at the door with a look of anxiety on his face. "What's wrong?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Master Hou, a brother just came back with injuries all over his body, saying that something happened to Sun Yan!" Tang Tianli said hurriedly.
"Where are the people?"
"In the front yard, wounds being treated!"
"Let's go!" Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly ran to the front yard. His brother was injured, so what?
After arriving at the front yard, they walked into the wing room and saw four or five people surrounding the room. A military doctor was bandaging the Qilin Guard's wound. When everyone saw Zhao Xuanyi coming, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Master Hou!"
"Everyone, get up!" Zhao Xuanyi came to the bedside and looked at the Qilin Guard who had just returned. He saw an arrow wound on his shoulder and a knife wound on his body. Zhao Xuanyi's heart sank, "Brother, tell me what's going on?" "
"Master Hou, we followed Brother Sun Yan to protect Wang Heming all the way to Henan. Wang Heming brought thirty people with him. Nothing happened along the way. But after we arrived in Henan, we met Wang Heming's fiancée. What did they say to us? I don’t know, I took a night’s rest and rushed to the capital!”
"But before we left the city, we were ambushed by a group of more than two hundred people. We fought desperately and finally eliminated these two hundred people, but at the cost of twelve brothers! There were only six people left with Wang Heming. Seven!”
"We were about to leave the city, but Wang Heming's men investigated and found an ambush outside the city. We were trapped in the city for a while and couldn't get out. In the end, there was no way. Brother Sun Yan decided to retreat to the city and asked me to come back to rescue the troops. I pretended to be a beggar. Escaped from the city and successfully evaded the ambush outside the city!"
"But after walking less than ten miles, I met another group of people. They recognized me, so I ran as fast as I could. Fortunately, my horse was fast, so I came back to report the news!"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, his eyes turned red, "What the hell! Ye Yuanzhi just died, who dares to be so arrogant? Dare to touch my Qilin Guard? You are seeking death! Tang Tianli!"
"exist!"
"Go to the military camp immediately and mobilize two thousand Qilin Guards for me. I want to see who has eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!"
"Yes!" After Tang Tianli said that, he turned and left!
"Brother, which city are they in now?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Luohua City!"
"I understand. Just stay at home and recuperate. I'll kill all the bastards who hurt you and avenge you!"
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Qilin Guard was so moved that his eyes were red!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the military doctor on the side and said, "Don't be afraid of spending money. Just treat me! Do you hear me?"
"Yes!" The military doctor nodded repeatedly!
Zhao Xuanyi walked out of the room and was about to call Shen Wei, but then he remembered that he had asked him to go do something and he was not in the house! Zhao Xuanyi returned to the backyard and came to Zi Yuan's room. As soon as he opened the door, Zi Yuan woke up!
"who?"
"Me!" Zhao Xuanyi walked around the screen and came to Zi Yuan's bedside!
Zi Yuan sat up slowly and was very surprised when she saw Zhao Xuanyi, "Is there something wrong so early?"
"Yes, get up and get ready, we need to go out for a while!"
"What's the matter?"
"Wang Heming came to borrow someone a few days ago, remember?"
"problem occurs?"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "I don't know who trapped them in Luohua City. More than a dozen of the brothers they brought with them died. I plan to go there myself to rescue Brother Wang and Sun Yan!"
"I understand, I'll get ready now!" Zi Yuan stood up in a hurry after saying that!
"I'll inform my sister-in-law later and ask her to follow. I'll go talk to Xinyu!"
"Okay!" Zi Yuan nodded and said.
Zhao Xuanyi returned to his room and sat down by the bed. Du Xinyu felt that Zhao Xuanyi was back, turned over and hugged Zhao Xuanyi, "Go to sleep!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled. He just liked her careless look. She was very cute. He patted Du Xinyu's butt gently, "Xinyu, I have to go out for a few days for something. You stay at home these days and take care of the house!" "
Du Xinyu opened his eyes instantly and sat up. "Are you leaving again?" Du Xinyu looked unhappy!
"Something happened. I'll go take a look. I'll be back in about four or five days!"
"I'll go too!" Du Xinyu was very determined!
"This? It's not a fun thing this time. It's probably dangerous. You don't have the time. Wouldn't it make me worry if you go? You are well at home. Nothing will happen to me and the Qilin Guard!" Zhao Xuanyi comforted softly.
"You dislike me!" Du Xinyu raised her eyebrows.
Zhao Xuanyi laughed loudly and pinched Du Xinyu's little mouth. "Duck! It happened so suddenly. I don't have time to explain. You can continue to sleep. I will leave first and stay with you when I come back!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he Du Xinyu kissed him on the lips!
Du Xinyu's eyes were very worried. Seeing Zhao Xuanyi's heart full of reluctance, she gave Zhao Xuanyi a hug and said, "Be careful!"
"Well!" Zhao Xuanyi put Du Xinyu on the bed, covered him with a quilt, then turned around and put on his coat, picked up his saber, turned around and walked out of the room!
When they came to the yard, Zi Yuan and Jing Lan were already ready, and Qu Kui and Qu Yang also came. "Brother, can we leave now?"
"Yeah! Let's go!" Zhao Xuanyi led a few people, mounted their horses, and after leaving the Marquis' Mansion, they rushed all the way to the city gate. After running three kilometers beyond the city gate, they met two thousand Qilin Guards led by Tang Tianli!
"Master Hou!" Two thousand people shouted in unison.
"Let's go!" Zhao Xuanyi gave the order, and two thousand people ran quickly!
In the Mingyue Palace, Zhu Yuejun was still sleeping soundly on her phoenix bed. Nanzhu opened the door and walked in. She shouted softly through the curtain, "Princess, please report something urgent!"
Zhu Yuejun slowly opened his eyes, then sat up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The Moon Guards just came to report that the Protector of the Country left the capital with two thousand Qilin Guards this morning!"
"What?" Zhu Yuejun lifted the quilt and walked out of the bedroom. "What's going on? Why did he suddenly launch troops?"
"I heard that Wang Heming and Sun Yan went to Henan to bring Wang Heming's fiancée back. However, they were attacked by unknown people on the way. It's been a long time and they haven't come back yet! Something happened!"
"Henan?" Zhu Yuejun's eyes suddenly widened. "Could it be...?" Zhu Yuejun sighed angrily. "I'll write a note. You immediately send someone to catch up with Zhao Xuanyi and give it to him!"
"My maid...should I go in person?" Nan Zhu asked.
"That's fine!" Zhu Yuejun hurriedly took a blank notebook and started writing!
Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly hurriedly and slowly led the Qilin Guards for three days before arriving in Henan. Zhao Xuanyi did not encounter any danger along the way. This made Zhao Xuanyi even more confused. He thought that this matter was not that simple!
Now think about it carefully, this matter was wrong from the beginning. Who is Wang Heming? That was the son of the Minister of Justice, and he actually wanted to borrow someone from him? Come to Henan to pick up his fiancée from the army? Why didn't I think more about it then? What a brain!
But what happened? Wang Heming and his father Wang Mingcai are also good people and upright officials. Who would want to kill them? This is really strangely cruel!
But Zhao Xuanyi doesn't care about this. The most important thing for him now is to save people. "How far is it from Luohua City?"
"Less than ten miles!" Tang Tianli said.
"Okay, let brothers work harder and rest again when we get to Luohua City!"
"Yes!" Tang Tianli shouted, "Brothers, hurry up and rest when you get to Luohua City!"
"Got it!" everyone shouted loudly!
Walking in the wind and snow along the way, the cold winter was still so cold even after the New Year, and there was no sign of spring at all. Zhao Xuanyi led two thousand people and walked another five kilometers, when he suddenly saw an army in front of him, giving the pipeline to Stopped!
And this army seemed to have seen Zhao Xuanyi, and began to wave from a distance, otherwise Zhao Xuanyi and the others moved forward. Zhao Xuanyi and others rushed to the roadblock to pull the horse, and saw that there were many roadblocks, horse-rejecting stakes, antlers, etc. buried here. Wait, you can see that it has been prepared in advance!
A man who looked like he belonged to a hundred households came over and said, "I don't know which general this is? Please tell me your name!"
Tang Tianli glared, "You're blind, this is the current Protector of the Country, Lord Zhao Xuanyi! Why don't you kneel down when you see him?"
When the soldier heard that he was actually the Protector of the Country, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "It turns out that he is the Protector of the Country. I am very ambitious to see you Lord Marquis!"
Zhao Xuanyi ignored him at all: "Fang Dazhi? Which military camp are you from?"
"Reporting to the Marquis, this villain is a defender of Henan and is subordinate to the local officers and soldiers!"
"What are you doing? Why did you set up a roadblock here?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"This...? Haven't you heard about it yet, Lord Protector?"
"What did you hear?"
"There has been a plague in Luohua City and Gusu City recently, so the imperial court issued an order yesterday and the city has been closed down. No one can go out or go in, for fear that someone will be infected!" Fang Dazhi said.
When everyone heard that there was a plague, they were instantly frightened and dared not move.
Zhao Xuanyi is also a little afraid. After all, this is ancient times, not modern times. In modern times, plague is no longer a problem, but in ancient times, when medicine was not so developed, this was a fatal thing!
"Plague? Real or fake?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Of course I don't dare to deceive the Marquis. The capital has sent many doctors into it, but it still hasn't improved. I heard that too many people died in the Henan disaster last year, and they didn't pay attention when burying them, which led to the disaster!" Fang Dazhi said.
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he frowned and wondered whether it was true or false? Looking forward, I saw that many people wearing veils were patrolling, seemingly seeking medical treatment, but why hadn't I heard of them before?
Just when Zhao Xuanyi was worried, suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves behind him, and Nanzhu was approaching. "Master Zhao, I have caught up with you, your horse is too fast!" Nanzhu said with a big breath of tiredness.
"Why are you chasing me?"
"This... is for you!" Nan Zhu took out the note and gave it to Zhao Xuanyi!
Zhao Xuanyi took it over and opened it, and saw that it was Zhu Yuejun's handwriting. There were a few short sentences on it, telling Zhao Xuanyi to return to Beijing quickly and not to enter Henan!
Zhao Xuanyi closed the note and looked at Nan Zhu, "Follow me!"
"Yes!" Nan Zhu walked aside with Zhao Xuanyi on horseback.
"Tell me the truth, is there really a plague in Henan?" Zhao Xuanyi asked seriously.
"To tell you the truth, I don't know!"
"Don't know?" Zhao Xuanyi asked in surprise, "I haven't heard about this in the capital. I was told that there was a plague just after I came here. Is it such a coincidence?" Zhao Xuanyi obviously didn't believe it!
"Master Zhao, Zhu Yuejun has sent people to investigate. Whether it is true or false, you'd better not go in. If you get sick, the eldest princess will feel distressed! We will visit the capital first, and we will discuss other matters in the long term. !" Nanzhu said hurriedly.
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Seeing that Luohua City was right in front of him, but he couldn't get in, which made Zhao Xuanyi very distressed!
"Master Zhao Hou, listen to Nan Zhu's advice, your life should not be in trouble here!" Nan Zhu said again after seeing Zhao Xuanyi's hesitation.
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "Okay, let's go back to Beijing!"
In this way, Zhao Xuanyi led the Qilin Guards back to the capital again. This time it took seven days. When Zhao Xuanyi returned to the capital, Shen Wei was back. Seeing Zhao Xuanyi and Tang Tianli coming back, Shen Wei hurriedly greeted them, "Young Master, How does that go?"
Zhao Xuanyi saw Shen Wei and sighed, "It's hard to explain in words, let's talk slowly!" Everyone walked into the hall, and Shen Wei also got a general idea, but the specific things were not very clear yet.
Tang Tianli started to talk about the things he encountered on the road. Jinglan supplemented and explained the matter clearly. After hearing this, Shen Wei was very surprised, "Young Master, why does this matter feel so wrong!"
"What do you think?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Everyone knows that this plague usually only occurs in midsummer or autumn. How come it happened in winter this time? And there was no news before, so it suddenly broke out. It seems weird. "Shen Wei said.
"I think so too! But we can't get in, so we can't find any evidence! And the eldest princess ordered me to come back, so I can't disobey it!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a distressed look.
When everyone was worried, Zi Yuan walked into the room from the outside and said a few words in Zhao Xuanyi's ear. Zhao Xuanyi nodded and then looked at Tang Tianli, "Everyone has worked hard. Go back and rest first. I'll call you if anything happens." Order!"
"Yes!" Everyone dispersed!
