Chapter 53 The convoy was attacked
The butler Zhao Ming was about fifty years old. He was calm, experienced, capable, and thoughtful. He bowed his hands and said, "My lord, the servants reported to me early in the morning. My subordinates are already well prepared. If they are busy with work now,
If your father-in-law, who came to report the news, saw the joke, wouldn’t you lose your face, my lord?”
Liu Tuo felt very comfortable and said with a satisfied smile: "Butler Zhao is very attentive. I feel much more comfortable with you! I just don't know what kind of fat position Guo Bin got for me from the emperor? Wait until I take office."
I’ll give you a parent official like a county magistrate so that you can develop your ambitions, which can be regarded as a reward for your hard work for me over the years!”
Zhao Ming said with a grateful face: "I congratulate you, my lord! Youdao means having wealth but no official position, which is always a shortcoming. However, the official world is ups and downs, the world is like chess, the relationships in the officialdom are as thin as paper, and intrigues are everywhere.
You have to be careful in everything!”
Liu Tuo smiled slightly, without comment, and then asked: "By the way, how well does the little overlord Guo Xuanwu get along with our saint? After the two father-in-laws Baoluo and Wanxiang have announced the imperial edict, let them give him to him.
Take it back with you so that I won't have to worry about it all day long. If something goes wrong again, I'll be in big trouble."
"Don't worry, my lord, the two of them get along very harmoniously. They are childhood sweethearts, innocent and romantic."
"That's good! By the way, how is the injury of Miss Jiang, the Lord of Chixia Altar?"
"Please rest assured, my lord, I have invited Mr. Shi Hua, the best Qihuang expert today, the 'Medical Immortal', to check Master Jiang's pulse and prescribe medicine. He is no longer in serious trouble. He is now recuperating in the backyard, and Duan Hong is taking care of him.
what is the problem."
"And the seven captured Yin-Yang Sect's sacrificial wines, have you disposed of them?"
"Lord, those seven people have been released. They have all sworn to join our sect and are willing to be our spies. They have all been poisoned by the saint. We are not afraid that they will be disobedient. The power of the Yin Yang Sect in Lei Yue City
We already know the layout very well, and as long as the superiors give orders, we can catch them all at any time!"
"Very good!" Liu Tuo nodded with a comfortable look on his face, "Okay, you go and do your work. I'll go drink tea with the father-in-law and wait for the gold and the imperial edict to arrive!"
In the living room, Liu Tuo laughed and chatted with the eunuch who came to report the news. He drank three cups of tea in succession, but did not see any movement outside.
Liu Tuo frowned and paced impatiently in the living room. The eunuch was also surprised and looked out from time to time.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noisy footsteps in the yard outside, occasionally accompanied by a few painful groans.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and their expressions became nervous unconsciously.
"What happened? Could it be that they were..."
As soon as Liu Tuo had this idea, he saw a dozen villagers hurried in carrying two stretchers. On the stretchers lay two people wearing eunuch costumes, covered in blood and moaning constantly.
"Eunuch Bao! Eunuch Wan!" The eunuch who reported the news exclaimed.
Liu Tuo quickly stepped forward and took a look, and sure enough, it was Bao Bao He Wan Xiang lying on the stretcher!
"Your Majesty!" A villager said: "Their convoy was ambushed on the official road ten miles away from the villa, and all the escorting officers and soldiers were wiped out. Only these two father-in-laws fought their way out of the siege. Our people
I have been observing in secret, and when I saw the two of them rushing out, I quickly sent them back!"
Liu Tuo was shocked. He never imagined that someone would dare to rob a royal convoy escorted by heavy troops in broad daylight. He asked urgently: "Have you found out? Who did it?"
"It's not clear yet."
Liu Tuo leaned down and held Bao Bao's hand. He felt that his whole body was hot and his pulse was weak. He knew that he suffered internal injuries and the injuries were serious. He said solemnly: "My two father-in-laws have been wronged. Look,
Your injuries indicate that the battle will be very tragic, I will definitely take good care of the two father-in-laws, please don't worry!"
Bao Luo's face was pale and his whole body was hot. He raised his head slightly, and when he was about to speak, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at Wanxiang on the stretcher in the other picture, he saw that blood was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and he was already unconscious.
Bao Luo steeled himself and moved his lips several times, but could not utter a word. He reluctantly took out a roll of blood-stained imperial edict from his arms, handed it to Liu Tuo, and then let out a sigh of relief, as if
As if he had finished a task on his mind, he closed his eyes and passed out.
"Oops! Eunuch Bao and Eunuch Wan are so seriously injured. If there is something wrong with this, how will Jiu Qiansui explain it? What should we do..."
The eunuch who came to report the news was anxious and anxious.
Liu Tuo's face became very ugly, and he almost shouted: "Quick! Carry them into the east wing and ask the medical fairy Shihua to treat them immediately, at all costs!"
More than a dozen villagers agreed, lifted up the stretcher and flew out.
The living room was depressing, and the air seemed to have solidified, becoming suffocating. A strong wind blew outside at some point, making the door squeak, and a feeling of imminent rain shrouded everyone's heart.
.
After being silent for a while, Liu Tuo frowned and raised his hands to the eunuch who reported the news: "The incident happened suddenly, so I won't keep my father-in-law here. I also asked my father-in-law to go back and report the matter to Guo Jiuqiansui, so I said to my father-in-law Bao."
My father-in-law and my father-in-law are seriously injured. I will stay at home to recuperate for the time being. I will do my best to rescue them. I will ask for details after the injuries of the two father-in-laws improve. I will definitely investigate this matter to the end!"
The eunuch had already lost his mind. When he heard what Liu Tuo said, he immediately nodded in agreement, mounted his horse and galloped away.
Liu Tuo clasped his hands behind his back and walked back and forth for a few steps. He looked at Zhao Ming who came after hearing the news and said: "Butler Zhao, please take someone to check and find out which god is responsible. Find out and report back quickly."
! If you dare to stumbling upon me, I am not a vegetarian!"
Zhao Ming nodded, turned around and left without saying a word.
Liu Tuo was the only one left in the living room. He pondered for a while, raised his head and sighed: "Alas! The world is in chaos. The power of the Lingyue Dynasty has been exhausted. It is only a matter of time before the dynasty changes. Which side should I bet on?
"
Then he shook his head again and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Do I still have the right to choose..."
Liu Tuo shook his head and sighed, holding the imperial edict stained red with blood, and slowly walked to the living room and back hall...
It can be said that Bao Luo and Wan Xiang were both very lucky. With such serious internal injuries, if it had not been for the medical fairy to diagnose and treat them, the two of them would have died a long time ago. Under the rejuvenation of the medical fairy Shi Hua, only three days later, the two of them recovered.
It's seventy-seven or eighty-eight.
On this day, Bao Luo was lying on the bed. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Guo Xuanwu standing in front of the bed, looking at him with a smile.
"Little Master!" Bao Luo called out in surprise, turned over and got out of bed.
"Hey, little ancestor, I've finally seen you! Where have you been hiding?"
"Little master!" Wan Xiang also cheered and got out of bed. The two of them surrounded Guo Xuanwu, fearing that he would run away again.
"It's you who are stupid! I just hid it casually and you wouldn't be able to find it!"
"That's right! The slave is... Huh? Where is this?" Bao Luo looked around to make sure he was not in the palace.
"This is Mengyu Villa, aren't you here to deliver the imperial edict?"
"Little Master!" Bao Luo suddenly became nervous, "It's not safe at all outside now. Wan Xiang and I, along with three hundred imperial guards, were all killed by the robbers. If we hadn't run so fast, we wouldn't have been able to escape.
I’ll never see you again!”
"That's not true!" Wan Xiang said, "Little master, you'd better come back to the palace with us quickly, it's really too dangerous outside!"
"Oh! Don't worry, you two. It's very safe here! Whether you can return to the palace or not, we'll wait until you recover from your injuries!"
Upon hearing these words, Bao Lu and Wan Xiang were immediately moved to the point of being overwhelmed, tears streaming down their faces, and they both knelt down on the ground.
"Little Master, you are so considerate of your slave. Even if your slave is broken into pieces..."
Before the flattery was finished, a villager walked in.
