Chapter 129: The Admiral's Wrath
Just as Lu Yun and his brother went to see the Luo River under the Moon, there was panic in the Jishi Mansion, which was only one mile away from Tianjin Bridge.
The torch in the inner courtyard of the Jishifu Office was Zhaotian. All the officials and officials from Jishifu Office were secretly sent to the class, and they were not afraid to breathe. They looked down at the seven or eight corpses lying in the yard.
The firelight made the corpses clearly look at them. One of the old men was Gao Guangning's old servant.
Commander Huangfu, who had been ordered to protect Gao Guangning, and his subordinates knelt down next to the corpses in dejectedly, trembling one by one.
Lin Chao, the admiral of the Anti-State Office who had just made contributions to Gao Guangning's case, had his hands back and forth, paced back and forth on the steps down the corridor. But he still couldn't suppress his anger and stood up. He cursed at Commander Huangfu: "Stupid pig, stupid pig! No, you are not as good as a pig. I just raise a pig, and I can still kill you to eat meat in the year?! What else can I do except raising you trash me?"
Commander Huangfu and others lowered their heads deeply and cursed him casually. Because this time, they did make a big fuss. They were originally ordered to protect Gao Guangning. But last night, outside the Liujia Village, they were driven away by people sent by Xiahou clans.
Commander Huangfu was already angry and wanted to ignore Gao Guangning. But after walking for more than ten miles of night, the autumn wind blew, the anger disappeared. He calmed down and thought that his job was to send Gao Guangning back to his hometown safely, and what did he do in Xiahou Gai? Only by watching Gao Guangning arrive home with his own eyes and confirming that he would have no trouble can he go back and report his life.
Now when I go back, aren’t I going to find a ward for myself? When I think about it, Huangfu Commander broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly took his subordinates back to Liujiazhuang. Before he could reach the entrance of the village, he saw the fire in the village shining in the sky and the sounds of people were everywhere, and it seemed that the whole village people were awakened.
Huangfu Shixin raised his throat and rushed into Gao Guangning's residence quickly. He saw that the door had been surrounded by three floors inside and outside the villagers. Even the roofs of the walls were standing in rows of people watching the fun.
"Do not go away!" His subordinates hurriedly pushed away the people blocking the way, clearing out a way for the commander.
Commander Huangfu went to the yard with a dark face and saw the dead bodies lying all over the floor. They were Gao Guangning's followers!
Commander Huangfu's eyes turned dark and he almost fainted. He rushed into the room and searched wildly, but he never saw Gao Guangning's shadow.
Finally, it was Liming from Liujiazhuang who told him that he seemed to see a figure escaping from the village, and two more people were chasing him, and they didn't know if they had caught up.
Seeing that the direction Li pointed out was exactly where he and his group came from, Commander Huangfu looked dark again. He didn't see a single figure along the way, which means that the escaped person had either been killed or had been captured and hurried back the same way, trying to find some clues, but he still found nothing.
In desperation, Commander Huangfu had to order people to bring the corpses and return to Beijing to report to Lin Chao. He rushed along the way and finally returned to Luodu before the city gate was closed...
Lin Chao was in a good mood. At the instruction of his ancestors, he incited the victims to help the emperor build momentum several times, and handed over the account book sent by someone to the Chuchu Emperor, who eventually turned the emperor into victory and harshly defeated the Xiahou Army.
At first, the emperor let out a bad temper, so he naturally wanted to reward him according to his merits. Zuo Yanqing asked Lin Chao to restore his post. At the same time, he also gave him a task and asked someone to escort Gao Guangning back home. In Lin Chao's opinion, this job was really simple. Gao Guangning had been dismissed from office as the people, and now he is just a commoner and has no value. Who would have to work hard to deal with him?
However, with the idea that one of the four most capable commanders under his command, Huang Fu Qing, led a group of elite subordinates to protect Gao Guangning along the way, so as not to be eaten alive by the angry disaster victims.
In Admiral Lin's opinion, with the escort of Huangfu Qing, Gao Guangning naturally had no mistakes. Who knew that just after walking less than a hundred miles, Gao Guangning's servants were killed and he disappeared mysteriously.
When Lin Chao heard Commander Huangfu's report, he fainted. How did he explain to his ancestors?
However, Lin Chao knew that the matter had become a big deal and that the Xiahou family was involved, which was no longer something he could do. So he asked Huangfu Qing and others to kneel in the yard and wait for the ancestors to come and deal with it.
He was scolding these stupid fools and reported outside that his ancestors had arrived. Lin Chao glared at Huangfu Qing fiercely and quickly went out to greet him.
As soon as he walked to the front yard, he saw Zuo Yanqing slowly descending from the carriage with a big black cat in his arms. In the night, the black cat's two green eyes widened, making people feel cold in their spine.
"Old ancestor," Lin Chao knelt down in panic and apologized: "I deserve to die if I am humble, and I am disappointed again."
"Don't rush to apologize. Let's figure out what's going on first." Zuo Yanqing said with a blank expression: "Where is the person?"
"Kneeling inside." Lin Chao hurriedly turned sideways and asked respectfully.
Zuo Yanqing slowly walked into the inner courtyard, first looked at the corpses, then looked at Huangfu Qing and others, and said with a smile: "All the protected objects died tragically, but you guards were unscathed. It's really amazing."
"Go back to our ancestors," Huangfu Qing said tremblingly: "We originally protected Gao Guangning well. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Xiahou Jun and Xiahou En from the Xiahou clan brought people over and accused us of trying to harm Gao Guangning. The villain explained to them kindly, but Xiahou Jun started to attack us without any discrimination. Seeing that the people from the Xiahou clan came to protect Gao Guangning, the villain was afraid that the conflict between our mansion and the Xiahou clan would cause, and he had to lead the crowd to retreat temporarily."
As he said that, he lowered his head dejectedly and said, "Who knew that when the villain returned, he saw Gao Guangning's servants being killed and he himself was missing."
"What do you mean," Zuo Yanqing gently stroked the smooth fur of the black cat in his arms and asked with a smile: "Did Xiahou Jun and Xiahou En do this?"
"It's only them," Huangfu Qing whispered.
"Nonsense." Zuo Yanqing's tone was not high, but every word he said made people hear it clearly and shuddered from the bottom of his heart. "They have been staying in Luodu City, so how can they go to Liujiazhuang to kill people?"
"Ah!" No one in the war palace would doubt Zuo Yanqing's words. They all knew very well that this old man retreated and devoted all his energy to surveillance of the Xiahou Quarter. Speaking of knowing the situation of the Xiahou Quarter, even Xiahou Ba himself could not compare to him.
"This is impossible!" Huangfu Qing cried out: "Last night, the villain met with him and even spoke to Xiahou En!"
"That's really a ghost," Zuo Yanqing sneered.
"You said you've met them," Lin Chao asked in a deep voice: "Have you really looked carefully?"
"It's dark and can't be seen clearly like during the day." Huangfu Qing hurriedly said, "But the outline of the eyebrows is clearly the two of them. Moreover, they are holding their own famous weapons and Xiahou En's voice, which is indeed his."
"You said it was a famous weapon," Lin Chao shook his head and said, "Of course everyone knows it. It's not difficult to fake a look." He paused and said, "As for the voice, are you very familiar with Xiahou En?"
"I only heard him say a few times." Huangfu Qing was a clan of the royal family. In recent years, the Huangfu family and the Xiahou family had a lot of contact. Naturally, there was no contact or exchange.
"That kind of skill that can change the line of voice is enough to fool you!" Lin Chao was also hindsight. After hearing Zuo Yanqing's words, he said, "As for his appearance, it's even simpler. It's dark and lantern, just disguise it!"
