"When the young master first established the wooden character team, he once told us that the sound of the word "wood" is the same as the word "eye", and the wooden character team is the young master's eyes."
"My son is in danger tonight, and all my subordinates are to blame."
Huo Yi became anxious when he heard this.
"Mu Er, can you calm down?"
Mu Er shook his head, looked at Qin Ming firmly, and said:
"If I can't bring back all the thieves in two days, it will only prove that I am not worthy of being a member of the wooden team."
"It's even more of a betrayal of the young master's cultivation and trust."
"I, Mu Er, am willing to die to apologize and to warn those who come after me."
Huo Yi opened his mouth when he heard this, but no words came out.
Qin Ming nodded happily after hearing this, looked at Mu Er, and slowly said:
"Okay, as you said, I'll leave the matter of hunting down the remnants to you."
Mu Er kowtowed and said respectfully:
"Thank you, Mr. Master."
Just when Mu Er was about to stand up and say goodbye, Qin Ming raised his hand and said:
"Mu Er, please wait."
After saying that, Qin Ming looked at Huo Yi again and said:
"Fire one."
Huo Yi was stunned for a moment and said respectfully:
"My subordinate is here."
Qin Ming stood up and walked to Huo Yi, helping him and Mu Er up together.
"The opponent is all dead warriors and highly skilled in martial arts, but the Muzi team is not good at attacking."
With that said, he patted Huo Yi on the shoulder.
"I now order you to lead the Fire Team and protect the safety of the Wood Team members from now on."
Huo Yi was overjoyed when he heard this and cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, sir."
At this moment, rapid footsteps were heard outside the hall.
"Master Qi, we followed the blood trail and found the thief's foothold."
Qin Ming and others suddenly turned around, and then saw Muba walking in hurriedly, breathing heavily.
Huo Yi and Mu Er's eyes lit up, they turned to look at Qin Ming and said:
"Sir, without further ado, my subordinates will bring people over right away."
Qin Ming nodded.
When sending the three of them out of the hall, Qin Ming tugged on Huo Yi's sleeve, put it against his ear, and whispered:
"You kid, I've been keeping an eye on Mu Er for the past few days. Don't let him do stupid things, do you understand?"
"If he has any shortcomings, I'll ask you about it."
Huo Yi was overjoyed when he heard this and said with some excitement:
"I understand, sir. Please rest assured."
Qin Ming patted Huo Yi on the shoulder and said:
"Go ahead and be safe."
"Yes, thank you sir."
After sending Huo Yi and others away, Qin Ming turned around and returned to the hall.
At this time, in the hall, Xu Gou was kneeling alone on the ground, looking at Qin Ming eagerly, like a puppy about to be abandoned.
"Son."
Qin Ming became very angry when he saw the pitiful look of Xu Gou.
He raised his leg and kicked the dog, and laughed and cursed:
"If you look at me like that again, I'll dig out your G eyes."
Xu Gou smiled naively and waved his hand quickly.
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore."
Qin Ming snorted coldly and said:
"What are you still doing? Get up!"
Xu Gou immediately stood up, approached Qin Ming in a very dog-like way, licked the dog's face and asked:
"Sir, are you not angry anymore?"
Qin took a look at Xu Gou and said:
"Things are already like this, what's the use of getting angry?"
"By the way, you should immediately send someone to ask for Cao..."
At this moment, a guard hurried to the door, bowed and said:
"Young Master, Cao Duwei, Lu Canjun, and Jia Canjun are outside the gate asking for an audience."
Qin Ming and Xu Gou looked at each other and murmured:
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."
"Invite them in."
Half an hour later,
Zhe Chongdu Lieutenant Cao Rong, Bing Cao Canjun Jia Sheng, and Cang Cao Canjun Lu Ming hurriedly entered the hall.
"The last general (lower official) pays homage to Qin Canjun."
Qin Ming nodded slightly.
When they heard about Qin Ming's assassination, Captain Cao and the other two men almost fainted on the spot.
Now, after the battle of Xinglong Mountain, Qin Ming's prestige in the army has greatly increased.
Many soldiers have begun to discuss privately whether this young man who joined the army will be named a champion by His Majesty after returning to Chang'an.
Some people are even opening gambling bureaus for this purpose.
Moreover, they also heard two pieces of gossip today.
One of them is about the love between Qin Ming and the legitimate daughter of General Youwuwei.
Manager Yuchi had already spread the word that the day the army returned to Chang'an would be the time for the two to get married.
The other is even more shocking. According to rumors, the reason why Qin Canjun fought so hard was because he was a close disciple of Duke Wei.
If these two pieces of news are true, then with Qin Ming's status and background, he will become a big boss in the military in the future.
Originally, the three of them wanted to take advantage of their time in Yuzhong City to maintain their relationship with Qin Ming.
As a result, Qin Ming was almost assassinated tonight.
If they were really succeeded by thieves, the best outcome for the three of them would be to "resign their old age and return home."
At this time, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qin Ming standing there unharmed.
After everyone chatted for a while.
Qin Ming also talked about business.
He pulled the three of them to the corpses and said to Jia Sheng:
"Jia Canjun, could you please send someone to check and see if they are members of the army."
"If so, sort out their information and give it to me."
Upon hearing this, Jia Sheng bowed and said:
"Yes, I will take care of it now."
Qin Ming nodded and winked at the dog behind him.
"Xugou, please arrange for people to send these corpses to the government office, and let Jia Canjun lead people to identify them one by one."
Xu Gou understood and said respectfully:
"Yes, sir."
At this time, Cao Rong and Lu Ming looked at each other, took a step forward, bowed and said:
"Qin joined the army, I wonder if there is anything that the general (junior) can help with?"
Qin Ming nodded and smiled:
"I really have something to do, and I want to trouble you two."
The two said in unison:
"Qin Canjun, you are too polite. Just give me your orders."
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"Cao Canjun, please send someone immediately to notify the gate guards of Yuzhong City. The city gates will be closed immediately and no one will be allowed to leave the city without permission."
"If you find a suspicious person, bring him to the government office immediately."
Cao Rong did not hesitate at all when he heard the words, and bowed and responded:
"General, I obey."
Qin Ming nodded, turned to Lu Ming and said:
"Lu Junjun will attack the people in the house tonight, using the army's fierce fire oil."
"So, please investigate this matter immediately and bring all the suspects to the government office."
Lu Ming heard this and bowed:
"Your Majesty, take your orders."
After a while, Qin Ming personally sent the three of them to the gate.
When saying goodbye, Cao Rong seemed to have thought of something. He walked up to Qin Ming and bowed:
"By the way, join the army. The one who came with the last general just now is Xue Gui, the scout corps leader."
"He heard that people in the house were going to arrest the assassin, so he went with him."
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment and said with a smile:
"Wu Zhang Xue, you're interested. Thank him later for me."
