An Huai was practicing boxing in his house. Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside. It was Lando coming over in a hurry.
"Sir!" Lando frowned and his face turned red, as if he had just lost his temper.
"What's wrong?" An Huai stopped and asked.
Lando waved away the servants in the yard as he walked, and then came to An Huai's side in a few steps. He leaned close to the young master and whispered quickly in the ear.
Before Lando could finish speaking, An Huai's expression had already changed...
With a dark face, An Huai resisted interrupting Lando. After he finished speaking, he asked: "Including Lan Mujia, how many people died in total?"
Lando replied in embarrassment: "A total of...a total of fourteen people..."
"What about them?" An Huai asked again.
"One... one!" Lando's voice sounded like a mosquito.
"Ha? Haha, hahaha..." An Huai was stunned for a moment, then threw his head back and laughed. Such a result made him feel ridiculous and ridiculous!
Lando's face was astringent and he didn't dare to raise his head to look at An Huai.
After the laughter stopped, An Huai slowly shook his head and said: "There are more than twenty people, more than twice their number, but you came here to tell me that fourteen lives were exchanged for only one life..."
Awesome, so awesome!”
Lando lowered his head and dared not speak.
An Huai said in a deep voice with resentment: "I have told you before that I was worried about you sending that clan brother Lan Mujia, but you insist on insisting on it. Now it's fine, you are satisfied!"
"Master, calm down, it's Lando's fault... Pa!"
After Lando lowered his head to admit his mistake, he raised his hand and slapped himself, causing his right cheek to turn red instantly.
An Huai glanced sideways and sighed: "Forget it, it's already like this, what's the point of slapping yourself?"
Lando lowered his head and said nothing.
An Huai was no longer in the mood to practice boxing, so he turned around and walked back into the house. Lando followed obediently, not even daring to walk too loudly.
An Huai went back to the house and sat down. After pouring a glass of water and drinking it, he asked, "Where are their bodies?"
"Taken over by people from the South Camp..." Lando replied.
"Taken over by Nanying?" An Huai was a little worried when he heard that, and immediately asked: "Is there going to be any problem?"
Lando immediately replied affirmatively: "Don't worry, sir, they didn't have any personal belongings on them when they started, and they will definitely not find anything. At that time, they will just think that the dead are rogues. According to the custom of Nanying, the bodies will be gone soon."
It will be burned on the spot!”
"That's the best!" An Huai nodded slowly, and then suddenly muttered to himself in frustration: "This time I really lost everything..."
----------------------------------
Around 6 o'clock in the morning, in the back garden of Ganquan County.
Xiaohuan was accompanying Situ Jing to prune the leaves of the plants in the garden.
Situ Jing held a pair of small scissors and while looking for the branches and leaves that needed to be cut off, she said, "Xiaohuan, do you think it's time for them to arrive in Yaozhou City now?"
Xiaohuan said: "Miss, didn't you just ask yesterday..."
"Is there any?" Situ Jing paused.
Xiaohuan nodded solemnly: "Yes!"
Situ Jing didn't care about this. He straightened up and counted the days carefully in his mind, saying: "Today is the fifth day. If everything goes well on the road, we will definitely arrive at Yaozhou City by now!"
"Miss, don't worry. Brother Cheng and the others have a breast shield and the safety charm you asked for, so they will be safe and smooth!" Xiaohuan firmly said.
Situ Jing nodded peacefully and continued to cut the branches.
After a while, the two of them suddenly heard a burst of noise coming from in front of them.
Situ Jing stared at the branches and leaves intently, as if he hadn't heard anything, but Xiaohuan's curiosity arose and she said, "Miss, why is it so noisy in front?"
"Would you know if you go and take a look?" Situ Jing's eyes never left the branches and leaves as he spoke.
That's what Xiaohuan was waiting for, and she immediately said happily: "Miss, I'll be back soon, very soon..."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Huan ran away. Situ Jing just smiled and continued to concentrate on pruning.
After a long time, Situ Jing got tired from pruning branches and went to rest in the pavilion. Suddenly she remembered that Xiaohuan had not come back for a long time...
Situ Jing looked at the entrance of the garden several times, but saw no sign of Xiao Huan coming back. She immediately said to herself: "This Xiao Huan, whenever there is excitement, he forgets everything..."
Just when she was thinking about whether to go out to find someone, Xiaohuan appeared. At this time, her expression was completely opposite to that when she went out. Just now she was happy and excited, but now she is anxious and worried.
"What's wrong, Xiaohuan, what happened?" Situ Jing asked.
Xiaohuan quickly came to the pavilion holding her skirt and said breathlessly: "Miss, it's not good, Brother Cheng and the others... they met... they met...
...Huhu..."
Situ Jing was immediately shocked: "What happened to them?"
Xiaohuan held her chest and calmed down before saying: "Miss, Brother Cheng and the others met a group of bandits on the road!"
"Ah!" Situ Jing covered her mouth and exclaimed. This was what she was most afraid of hearing, and the nightmare she had that night flashed through her mind.
Situ Jing asked nervously: "Who is talking?"
Xiaohuan pointed in the direction of the county government gate and said, "Someone just sent back a dead man. He seemed to be a government servant who was with Uncle Ge and the others. When I went there, there were already many people talking about it. I secretly heard it from the sidelines.
....."
Situ Jing asked anxiously: "What about the others? How is he?"
Xiaohuan looked anxious and shook his head: "I don't know, there are too many people outside, and I can't just go and ask people randomly, so I have to come back first."
Situ Jing immediately grabbed the hem of her skirt and walked quickly out of the garden: "No, I have to go take a look..."
So, Situ Jing and Xiao Huan rushed to the county government hall in a hurry.
Just after passing the second hall, the two met Situ Zhou on the corridor. Situ Zhou had just returned from handling the corpse in front.
"Father..." "Master!"
Situ Zhou looked at the two of them, frowned and asked, "What are you going to do? You look so panicked..."
"Father, my daughter heard that Uncle Ge and the others encountered bandits, and someone sent back the body of a government servant. Is it true?" Situ Jing hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Situ Zhou nodded solemnly and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, the ones who sent back the body were villagers from a village near Nanying. They were entrusted by Ge Hong and others to make a special trip to send the body here first."
"Then...how are the others?" Situ Jing asked with concern, and Xiao Huan also looked at Situ Zhou nervously.
"Don't worry, the others only suffered minor injuries, nothing serious. Counting the time, we have already arrived in Yaozhou City!" Situ Zhou said.
After hearing this, Situ Jing and Xiao Huan couldn't help but look at each other worriedly. Cheng Jiu already had old injuries on his body, so don't get new ones!
