Chapter 672 Standards of Conduct

In the Qin Mansion, Qin's mother suppressed her worries and ordered the servants to keep their mouths shut, especially not to spread the news to the daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law's belly was already very big, and if she was frightened, she might give birth prematurely at any time.

After arranging things one by one, Lu Songli sat back and waited to see how many monsters would jump out this time.

In the following days, Lu Songli's side was very lively. Bad news always reached her.

For example, she had just finished handling an urgent official business and was being escorted by her personal female guards.

A minor official from the prefecture rushed towards her, "Governor!"

After being stopped, he fell to his knees and shouted, "Governor, something bad has happened. The Sun family army has penetrated deep into Changshan County alone and is currently being surrounded and annihilated by the Xianbei army. Please send troops to rescue them quickly!"

Lv Songli paused and ordered, "Take the people away for interrogation."

"Yes!"

Another example, after she finished her meal, she was supported by Hongluo and walked around the yard. Alice was guarding beside her. A maid who was responsible for rough work in the Qin Mansion yard rushed over when she saw her, shouting, "Governor, it's bad. Young Master Qin Han and Young Master Qin Yu were kidnapped by traitors."

This man was also captured by the surrounding guards.

Lv Songli's heart sank when he heard this. He didn't expect that even though he had made corresponding preparations, the children still got into trouble.

As soon as she waved her hand, someone came forward to cover the man's mouth and then took him away.

Later, Lu Songli asked about this matter. When she learned that the rescue was already underway, she nodded.

She stroked her bulging belly and tried not to worry about these problems. If she was affected, she would fall into Xie Zhan's trap.

Zhuozhou

Not long after Qin Sheng left, Qin Zhao came. He came as soon as he got the news.

"Brother, have you received the news? Xiaohan and Xiaoyu were kidnapped."

"Yes, Xiaoliu took people to rescue them."

Hearing this, Qin Zhao was stunned at first, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "Xiaoliu went to rescue people? That's great!"

Xiaoliu is good at chasing thousands of miles, and his individual combat ability and force value are very high. With him, the possibility of rescuing Qin Han and Qin Yu is very high.

Qin Zhao's tense expression relaxed a little.

"Brother, Xue Xu is so brave!" Qin Zhao said bitterly, "From Changli to Dali, you need to pass through four or five counties. I don't believe that the people who are being pursued can't be rescued early!"

When did Xian Feng's Yulin Army become so weak?

"Xue Xu clearly wants to take this opportunity to sort out these counties and clear out the dirt hidden in them!"

Pingzhou has absorbed too many people, and there must be some mixed people with ill intentions.

Qin Heng did not deny this, "Maybe he has such an idea, but we can't ignore another situation. If the Yulin Army is forced to hurry, Hou Shuang and others will see no hope and will jump off the wall. At that time, Qin Han and Qin Yu will be in danger."

Qin Heng tried to look at Xue Xu's behavior from another angle.

Qin Zhao thought about it and nodded slowly.

"Let's not talk about this. You came at the right time. I plan to attack Zhongshan City." Qin Heng said.

Attacking Zhongshan City now, firstly, interrupts the opponent's rhythm and cuts off the opponent's support plan, and secondly, it is also a kind of indirect support for the Sun family army.

"Brother, I agree with this decision." After Zhongshan City is taken, they can be connected to Pingzhou, which will be very advantageous for both attack and defense.

Qin Heng thought more deeply. If Xiaoliu finally used explosives, then they would strive to maximize their benefits and take down as many cities as possible as quickly as possible.

He had already rushed back to ask the governor for instructions on this matter.

"Pass the order down, bury the pot and cook, and attack Zhongshan City at twilight hour!"

"Yes!"

...

Qin Sheng had a tense face, and the horse under his crotch was galloping, and the trees on both sides were retreating rapidly.

A group of personal guards rode their horses and chased desperately, so they were not left too far behind.

Qin Sheng was worried and anxious, with concerns about his wife and his two nephews in his heart.

…

"Uncle, will the Qin family hate you for doing this?" Zhang Cheng said worriedly.

"I, Xue Xu, am not afraid of these things."

At the beginning, he was loyal to his lord Lu Songli. He would only act from the perspective of his lord, and the interests of others were never his first consideration.

Since the situation was like this at that time, he simply took advantage of it. He didn't think he did anything wrong.

Zhang Cheng was still worried.

Xue Xu said, "I will apologize to the governor for this matter."

Zhang Cheng nodded and agreed with his uncle, "Okay, this matter should be told to the governor."

Changshan, Shangquyang

The 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Xie Yangui had just captured Shangquyang County when they were besieged by the Xianbei. They had been fighting for more than half an hour and were gradually showing signs of fatigue.

The Xianbei army was large in number and became more and more energetic as they fought. However, Xie Yangui's troops were attacked by surprise and knew that there was no reinforcement, so their momentum was getting lower and lower.

At this time, gongs and drums were loud and horns were blasting in the north. The noise was so loud that it attracted the attention of both sides. When the soldiers in the fierce battle took the time to look to the north, they saw a large flag with the word "Sun" written in the middle fluttering in the wind.

"It's reinforcements! Our reinforcements are coming!" The soldiers in the bitter battle cheered.

Xie Yangui's face changed. He didn't expect the reinforcements to come so quickly!

Mu Ye, who was leading the group, looked at him from a distance: Little guy, I've been prepared for this trick of yours.

The governor said that if they dared to tempt them with meat buns, they would let them use meat buns to beat dogs, and they would never return!

For example, this time, since their Pingzhou army had entered Changshan County, there was no reason to give up.

Because of the arrival of the Sun family army's reinforcements, the Xianbei army's plan to encircle and annihilate Xie Yangui's troops failed.

The two sides fought for nearly an hour, during which time the Sun family army's reinforcements continued to arrive.

The Xianbei side found that they could not eat up the Sun family army stationed in Changshan, and slowly retreated when dusk fell.

During this period, Xie Yangui wanted to slip away, but was firmly blocked by someone.

At this time, Sun Ming stepped forward, "Xie Yangui, you acted on your own, have you thought about what the consequences will be?"

At this time, Muye, Zheng Hu and others had already stood in other directions to prevent Xie Yangui from escaping.

"General, I know my crime and should not be greedy for merit and advance rashly."

"Come on, take him down!" Sun Ming ordered.

"General!" Xie Yangui retreated quickly.

"Xie Yangui, you dare to resist the army's orders?" Sun Ming shouted.

"I dare not." Xie Yangui's face changed constantly, everything was in a mess.

He originally wanted to kill 3,000 Sun's army as a token of surrender and return to Dali, but he did not expect that the Sun's army would act so quickly, and all his plans were disrupted.

Now he faces two choices, continue to ambush, or take advantage of the situation to attack?

If he continues to ambush, he will definitely be punished. If he takes advantage of the situation to attack, can he break through the siege?

In addition, I don't know if he is suspected?

If not, he will be punished.

If he is suspected, then surrendering is a dead end.

Breaking through, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Seeing the soldiers who were trying to capture him getting closer and closer, Xie Yangui finally chose to break through!

"General, I don't obey your order! Although I have made mistakes this time, I have also made contributions!"

"All soldiers, listen to my orders, take Xie Yangui down!"

...

It was still so lively on Lu Songli's side.

"Governor, bad news. General Qin Sheng went to rescue the two young masters, but was ambushed and shot down a cliff. His life or death is unknown."

"Take him away!" Lu Songli didn't believe in such sudden bad news.

Lu Songli and Xue Xu complained, "I didn't expect so many nails to be buried in the Qin Mansion and the Governor's Mansion."

All kinds of monsters and ghosts came to her.

Xue Xu handed her a booklet, which was full of people who were arrested and investigated recently.

"These should be all the nails that Xie Zhan buried in Pingzhou." Xue Xu felt that even if it was not all, it should be most of them.

"Why are there so many?" Lu Songli thought, these hidden players are now activated, Xie Zhan is not going to live this life, right?

"Governor, there is something, I have something to confess."

"What is it?"

"It's like this..." Xue Xu told her about his use of Qin Han and Qin Yu to lure the snake out of the hole.

"Mr. Xue, you..." Lu Songli shook his head, "This will not happen again. Remember to put people first in the future. There is hope only when people are around. Some things can be done slowly, and there is no need to rush."

"However, saving people in Shanggu County is indeed the best." Lu Songli affirmed him on this point.

"I will remember the governor's lesson. Governor, because of this incident, General Qin Sheng could have returned to Changli, but now he went to save people."

"Nothing." Lu Songli waved her hand, "There is still time."

Everyone has their own standards for doing things, and things have priorities, which she can understand.

And she never entrusted her safety to others. Qin Sheng came back to protect her, which is of course the best, and it is icing on the cake.
