Chapter 1039 Guard

(First release, domain name (please remember _3 is the best)

"According to the order!" Ma Cheng responded loudly, and immediately sent out troops and horses to surround both sides of Huichuan County.

Li Qitian was simply anxious at this time.

When he first received the news about the treasure, Li Qitian doubted whether it was false news sent by someone with evil intentions, specifically to lure him out of the capital.

But after all, he couldn't bear this opportunity.

What if the treasure is real?

If he didn't go, would the treasure really fall into Lu Heng's hands?

Lu Heng could conceal this news, who knows what he might have planned! Moreover, Qian Ying had always been his trusted minister and had a wide network of contacts. One of his advisers had learned about Lu Heng's actions from various channels, and even told him that the master had no idea.

If this news is untrue, his trip will be in vain at most. If it is true, his current crisis of empty treasury and running out of money will be solved!

Li Qitian became more and more certain that this trip was correct, and his eyes became more eager.

The team ran forward for a while, and the buildings of Huichuan County became increasingly clear in the plains under the scorching sunshine at noon.

Li Qitian raised his riding whip and was about to take action when he saw a man and a horse coming quickly from the opposite side.

The man was wearing a dark blue shorts, his hair was pulled high, he had a square face, and his appearance was ordinary. He was a master who would not be found in a crowd.

That was Li Qitian's spy named Zhu Meng.

"Your Majesty!"

Li Qitian slowed down his pace, and the more than a thousand soldiers and horses behind him also slowed down. The strong wind blew up a cloud of sand and dust on the dirt road, which made people squint their eyes. But behind the emperor, these cavalrymen all had solemn faces and did not issue any warning signs. The slightest sound other than the clatter of horse hooves.

The fast horse galloped up to him. Li Qitian stopped the maroon horse and whipped the horse as soon as possible. "Report quickly!"

Zhu Meng dismounted from his horse, knelt on one knee and clasped his fist, "See, Your Majesty, the last batch of stones from the stone quarry has been sent out from the south gate, heading straight for Wanzhou Town."

Li Qitian sneered, "It's a coincidence that it's better to come sooner than later. Come here! Follow me in pursuit!"

"yes!"

The other soldiers responded in unison.

Li Qitian turned to tell Ma Cheng: "You go into the city and control Huichuan County for the time being. There is no need to do any unnecessary actions. The most important thing is to keep an eye on Uncle Zhongyi for me!"

Ma Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague premonition that the world would be in chaos. He hurriedly suppressed his random thoughts and saluted seriously, "I accept the order!"

Li Qitian hurriedly led a thousand soldiers and horses around Huichuan County and pursued them towards Wanzhou Town.

Ma Cheng then ordered his lieutenants to surround Huichuan County, and at the same time assigned troops and horses to prepare to lead them into the city.

Seeing a group of soldiers and horses coming straight towards the city gate, the people entering and leaving the city were frightened and fled aside. When the city gate officer saw that the people coming were the cavalry from the fifth military camp, he knew that something must have happened and hurriedly opened the city gate. Open and quietly step aside.

This is the busiest time in Huichuan County, with women carrying vegetable baskets and businessmen walking in twos and threes on both sides of the street.

Everyone was worried, frowning and discussing today's food prices in low voices.

And there was a long queue in front of the rice store in the city, which stretched for two streets.

In late autumn, the sun was shining brightly in the main house, and the people all squinted their eyes from the sun.

As soon as the cavalry led by Ma Cheng entered the city, they frightened the people on the road into screaming and stumbling to both sides of the road to avoid them. Seeing the cavalry rushing forward, everyone was panicking.

The women gathered together in horror and whispered:

"What's going on? What is the court going to do again!"

"Why do you think these soldiers are heading towards the county government?"

"Did Magistrate Lu offend any noble person in the court?"

…

Ma Cheng couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard the people's comments.

Didn't you offend a noble person? And this time Uncle Zhongyi offended the most noble person in the dynasty!

Soldiers and horses quickly surrounded the government office. The soldiers went down the mountain one by one and rushed towards the government office fiercely, causing the officers to question loudly.

"Who! Dare to come to the Yamen and act wild!"

Ma Cheng came quickly with a knife in one hand and said loudly: "Everyone, please stay calm! I have come here with the Holy Spirit's instructions. If anyone dares to resist, he will be charged with treason!"

The officers were stunned for a moment.

The sergeants from the Fifth Army Camp had their own evil spirits, and they were all like wolves and tigers. The officers did not want to cause any trouble and disturb their families, so they naturally stood aside quietly, waiting uneasily for Ma Cheng to say something.

"General, not found!" Someone was ordered to go in and search, but no one from Lu Heng was found.

Ma Cheng was stunned for a moment, then glared fiercely at the officer on the side and asked, "Where is Uncle Zhongyi!"

Some of the officers hesitated, but others sized up the situation and said, "It seems that Madam Uncle has something to do, and Uncle Zhongyi is in a hurry to go home."

Ma Cheng immediately ordered some people to stay at the Yamen, while the rest went straight to Uncle Zhongyi's house.

Lu Heng did return home at this time, but it was not because Bian Ruohan had something to do, but because the situation was determined. He had not closed his eyes for many days to rest. He always felt nervous in the Yamen and could not sleep, so he wanted to go home and take a good rest. Get some sleep.

When Bian Ruohan knew that Lu Heng was back, he was so flattered that he quickly ordered: "Hurry and prepare uncle's favorite dishes."

I hurriedly checked in the mirror, picked out my favorite flower-headed hairpin and put it on, applied rouge and lipstick, and then went to the study room in the outer courtyard with the skirt of my skirt flying.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the courtyard where the study was located, they were stopped by Lu Wenru and others.

"Madam, my uncle has been tired for many days and has just gone to bed now."

Bian Ruohan immediately turned cold and said, "When my uncle comes back to his home, even if he wants to rest, he has to go back to the inner house. Why would he rest here? You slave dog, are you just teasing me!"

Lu Wenru is Lu Heng's long-term follower, and he is somewhat decent. However, Bian Ruohan opens his mouth and calls like a dog slave, which is really unpleasant.

It's just that Lu Wenru is gentle and sensible by nature, and knows that the lady in front of her is a low-income person, so she doesn't make any mistakes even when the uncle is in front of her. Moreover, because of his status, he cannot quarrel with his mistress.

Lu Wenru could only hold up her hands and said: "Madam, please go back. My uncle is really tired. He finally fell asleep at this time. Madam should treat him as if she cares for him and don't disturb his good sleep."

Bian Ruohan felt that he had been humiliated, and his face turned purple with anger. He pointed at Lu Wenru and gritted his teeth and said, "You damn slave! How dare you..."

Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, there was a sudden "boom" from behind. Bian Ruohan was frightened and screamed, and hid behind the maid in panic.

Lu Wenru was shocked and hurriedly led people out of the courtyard towards the gate. Before he could get closer, he saw that the black door was hit again, and there was another dull "boom", and the two door panels were violently knocked down. When he came down, he was so busy that the doorman and the long-term worker at the door were frightened.

Soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Fifth Army Camp swarmed in. At this moment, Lu Wenru had no time to react. Amidst the screams of the servants, he was pinned to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Raising his head with difficulty, Lu Wenru saw a middle-aged general with a strong back and a sword coming towards him. When he got closer, he recognized the person.

This man is the Commander-in-Chief of the East Road of the Fifth Army Camp. A person whom the Holy One relies on!

The black combat boots stopped in front of him, and Ma Cheng said in a deep voice: "It is the Holy One's decree to surround the Lu Mansion. Where is the loyal uncle!"

Lu Wenru's heart skipped a beat.

It’s broken, something bad is going to happen! The Holy One came in such a hurry, as if ransacking the house, and even knocked on the door and couldn't wait to break in directly. Could it be that what the uncle did in private was leaked out! Isn't it possible that things are going in the direction they least expect?

Lu Heng was awakened by Bian Ruohan's sharp screams when she approached her, but he was too lazy to pay attention to Bian Ruohan. When they met, they had to talk to each other, so he covered the cold blanket and didn't bother to pay attention.

When he was so exhausted that he couldn't even find a safe place to sleep, Lu Heng felt an unknown fire in his heart and even wanted to kill someone.

But at this moment, someone knocked on the door outside!

In anger, Lu Heng put on his robe and put on his shoes and rushed out, "I've rebelled against you! Who..."

The second half of the reprimand was choked in his throat. Seeing the cavalry from the Fifth Army Camp swarming over, Lu Heng's anger and sleepiness were poured cold water on him at the same time.

Ma Cheng strode forward, clasped his fists and cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Well done, Uncle Zhongyi. The general is here to protect Uncle Zhongyi's safety. I also ask Uncle Zhongyi to rest in the house. There is no order from the Holy Master. You'd better not come out."

After finishing his words, before Lu Heng could react, Ma Cheng pouted towards the person behind him.

Immediately behind him, more than a dozen people rushed in and pushed Lu Heng towards the bedroom.

Bian Ruohan was squatting behind the pillars. When he saw Lu Heng being caught, he immediately jumped out screaming. He ignored his fear and said indignantly: "What are you people doing! Who knows whether you are really following the order or false rumors?" Imperial edict! This is Uncle Zhongyi, the famous person in front of His Majesty! Who do you think I am? I am Zhuang Concubine’s sister! A serious relative of the emperor!"

Ma Chengpi bared his teeth with a smile, "No matter who you are, aren't you a citizen of the Zhou Dynasty? How can you question the Holy Lord's orders like this? Mrs. Zhongyi better calm down, so that everyone can avoid trouble. , you can also suffer less.”

"You!" Bian Ruohan was furious, but for a moment he couldn't find the words to argue, and he felt a strong fear in his heart.

Ma Cheng saw that Lu Heng had no intention of defending Bian Ruohan, but looked bored. Thinking of the shared honor and disgrace between Pang Xiao and Qin Yining, he couldn't help but look at Lu Heng with contempt.

Is this also a man?

Whether he likes it or not, his wife and her husband are quarreling. Shouldn't a man speak out in defense?

Looking at Lu Heng's pajamas and a casual outer robe, and seeing that this was the outer courtyard of the Lu family, we knew that Lu Heng was sleeping in the outer courtyard.

"Since Mrs. Zhongyi is here, let's invite Mrs. Zhongyi into the house as well." Ma Cheng realized that Lu Heng didn't like Bian Ruohan, so he wanted to lock Bian Ruohan in the same room with him more and more.

Lu Heng didn't have time to think about anything else at this time. Due to the extreme lack of sleep, his brain's reaction was a little slower. Now he finally figured it out.

The Holy One ordered people to guard him, and his great deeds must have been exposed!
