When Luochuan and five thousand Lijun Qingqi arrived at Zhengcang City, Shen Cheng did not wait outside the city, but sent his trusted lieutenant out of the city to greet him.
Luochuan did not greet the people who came to greet him, nor did he stop outside the city. He galloped into the city with the cavalry. The sound of heavy iron hoofs spread throughout the city with unparalleled shock, conveying a sense of iron-blooded determination to this restless city. .
When Li Jun Qingqi entered the military camp, only Luo Changgong and the five hundred blood cavalry were still following Luo Chuan. After being separated from the large group of troops, they went directly to the Zhengcang County Shoufu Yamen.
When Luo Chuan turned over and dismounted, he staggered slightly and was caught by the quick-eyed young woman who was following him. However, he just turned around and nodded before striding towards the house behind the government office. Behind him, there were a bunch of People follow each other closely.
Under the guidance of Shen Cheng's trusted lieutenant, Luochuan went straight to a courtyard in the backyard of the government office that was heavily guarded by elite soldiers without taking any detours. He pushed open the largest room first and went in. A strong smell of herbal medicine filled his nostrils. Come.
On the big bed against the wall in the room, Shen Cheng, who had a pale face and bloodless lips, struggled to get up but was held down by Luo Chuan. "Don't move," he walked back to a place far away from the big bed and took off his cloak. Armor, rubbed his hands to warm them up again before sitting back on the bed and holding Shen Cheng's hand, "They told me that the assassin's sword didn't hurt your vitals, it just needs to be healed for a while, it's okay."
Shen Cheng nodded laboriously, and the scars on his face looked a bit ferocious, "Master Taishou... don't worry, Shen Cheng's order... is very tough, but right now in Zhengcang City... ..I have to get better as soon as possible..."
"Don't be anxious, you still have to listen to the doctor on this kind of thing. Now Meng Zian's lone army has left the scope of Zhengcang City. Since he didn't make up his mind to take action when he was here, it's too late now even if he wants to do something," Luo Chuan patted Shen Cheng's hand and comforted him, "Does Uncle Zhao know about your matter?"
Shen Cheng hummed softly, then raised his hand and waved to the thin middle-aged man in the corner of the room, "Come..."
The thin middle-aged man came forward after hearing this, but he just stood quietly beside the big bed.
Shen Cheng pointed at the thin middle-aged man and said to Luo Chuan, "Master Taishou, this person's name is...Jiu Ge. He can temporarily take over...the post of Lord General of Zhengcang City," he said. , he looked apologetically at the confidant Captain who was leading the way for Luochuan, thought for a while, and still didn't say anything.
The thin middle-aged man didn't say anything, he just knelt down on one knee towards Luo Chuan.
Luo Chuan turned to look at the thin middle-aged man kneeling on one knee and said, "Okay," then he pointed to Shen Cheng's confidant Captain at the door and asked Shen Cheng, "What's his name?"
"Lu Bai," Shen Cheng's face was full of smiles. Looking at the captain, his voice became softer and softer, "When Shen Cheng was still a captain of ten, he... was me. My soldiers are gone..."
After hearing this, Luo Chuan turned around and looked at the captain carefully. He saw that his face was square and his eyebrows were peaceful. Even in this environment, he could not see much sadness or joy. He just pursed his lips slightly and had a pair of eyes. Looking at Shen Cheng.
"Remember," Luo Chuan patted the back of Shen Cheng's hand again and stood up, "You can rest peacefully. I'm here, and there won't be any problems in Zhengcang City." As he said that, he looked at the thin senior high school student. He glanced at me and walked straight out of the house.
By the time Luochuan left the courtyard and went to the front hall of the Zhengcang County Governor's Office, a thin high school senior whom Shen Cheng called Jiuge was already following him. "He looks better than what you said in the letter to me." It’s a bit worse.”
Jiuge took a look around and found that only a few people around Luo Chuan followed him into the meeting hall. Then he nodded and said, "The assassin is good at disguise. I don't know when he pretended to be Shen Pi. Guards, yesterday when General Shen Pi was patrolling the army, the assassin launched a sneak attack in full view of everyone. Fortunately, General Shen Pi reacted faster and another guard beside him tried his best to block him, so the assassin's blow did not hit him. Heart, but his dagger was smeared with poison. The army doctors were helpless. We found the best doctor in Zhengcang City overnight, but General Shen Pi was already very weak at that time and the doctors did not dare to use strong medicine to remove the poison. He used some milder drugs to inhibit the development of toxins, and he had to rely on himself to resist the rest, saying..."
He glanced at Luo Chuan's expression and whispered, "Whether he can survive in the end depends on tonight. If he can't tonight..."
Before Jiuge could finish speaking, he saw Luo Chuan's hand forcefully breaking the handle of the solid wood chair, but his voice remained calm, "Has the assassin been caught?"
Jiuge said quickly, "I caught him, but he took poison and committed suicide in prison last night. When we imprisoned him, we checked his whole body, but we still don't know where he hid the poison." He knelt down on one knee and finished. A military salute: "This subordinate is incompetent, please punish me, the prefect."
"No wonder you," Luo Chuan raised his head to look at Jiuge, his face as calm as his voice, "The most important thing right now is that the military morale in Zhengcang City is stable. The arrival of Lijun Qingqi will somewhat suppress the restless atmosphere in the military camp, but you and Lu Bai We still need to return to the military camp to let everyone know that Shen Pi will be fine. In addition, we should keep a close eye on the place where the soldiers are detained to prevent anyone from making a fuss there."
He paced in the front hall, "I previously led Lijun Qingqi deep into the hinterland of Yongchang County. Although there was no sign of the army gathering, we still can't take it lightly. Zhengcang City is my new land on both sides of Lijun, not only Yongchang. You should also keep a close eye on the direction of the county and Guangjun. Since Shen Cheng said that you can act as the general of Zhengcang City, you must be in control of all these matters."
"I obey the prefect's order," Jiuge saluted solemnly.
"Go ahead, I'll take care of Shen Cheng," Luo Chuan waved his hand, and Jiuge withdrew.
When Jiu Ge left the front hall and only Siqi, Yin Huayu and the young woman were left, Siqi couldn't help but pointed at the opening of Luo Chuan's neck, "Did you use...?"
Before Siqi could finish speaking, Luochuan waved his hand to stop her from finishing. He turned to look at the corner of the front hall, where a shadow appeared at some unknown time, "Did you find anything?"
Shadow shook his head, "The people I brought have dispersed throughout the city. If there is any change, they can respond quickly."
"It's better than nothing," Luo Chuan shook his head and sat on the chair at the top of the front hall with his eyes closed and meditating, "Yongchang County would not have expected that we would surprise Zhengcang City. When the city was destroyed, the forces in the city that apparently belonged to Yongchang had been eliminated. There may still be rats hiding in the dark, but under military control, they can't restore contact with the people above for a while. The assassination of Shen Cheng is obviously an organized and planned action, and Anling and Anyang counties have too much to take care of themselves. , the one who is most likely to do such a thing...is only Yun Bailou!"
"Didn't you say that Yun Bailou should still be plotting against Hanoi County? How could...?" Siqi asked in shock.
Luo Chuan shook his head and looked solemnly, muttering to himself, "Yun Bailou...!"
