Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

Lian Li was not very surprised at the appearance of General Lei's personal guards.

As soon as the guard came in, he said to the two without hesitation: "The general wants to see you."

Lian Li pointed at himself, obviously surprised that he was also going to go.

However, he did not ask, but just stood up and prepared to follow his guards and Yun Huizhou to meet General Lei.

General Lei was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He was a standard military general with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

When he looked over that day, although it was just a normal expression, the majesty that made people dare not offend made Lian Li subconsciously shrink his neck.

It feels like when I made a mistake as a kid and was being watched by a relative who was a policeman.

He moved his fingers unnaturally, thinking, he didn't make any mistakes now, and General Lei was not a modern policeman, so don't be nervous.

But the more I try not to be nervous, the more nervous I become.

It's like he's facing a super master, and even this kind of tension is different from the tension facing a super master.

When facing an extraordinary master, he felt nervous for his own safety. When facing General Lei, he was nervous for fear that he had done something wrong or was impolite.

After all, this was the highest-ranking official he had ever seen in this life and the previous one combined.

Although he has been here for more than two years, influenced by Yun Huizhou and the Jianghu environment, he no longer has any awe for the government.

But that was because he knew that those in the Central Plains were not reliable at all.

The officials under the jurisdiction of General Lei in the frontier area are quite normal, so he naturally cannot treat General Lei and his officials with the same mentality as he treats the officials in the Central Plains.

Before entering the door, Lian Li subconsciously straightened his back, trying to leave a good impression, but he still stumbled when crossing the threshold.

Fortunately, he is not as weak as he used to be. His toes just hit the door sill and he paused for a moment without shaking his body.

But even such a small noise caused Yun Huizhou to turn around and look over.

Lian Li: ...

Don't look at it, have some shame.

General Lei was sitting on a chair facing the door. When he saw Yun Huizhou and Lian Li coming over, he waved to them naturally, then pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down."

As soon as the two sat down, the servant brought tea. After taking a sip and completing the process, General Lei began to speak.

"I'll watch over in the capital, and nothing will happen to Zhao Honglan."

Lian Li, who heard the conversation between Yun Huizhou and Qu Tingquan yesterday, naturally knew what General Lei was talking about.

But he didn't expect that when Qu Tingquan came to see General Lei before, General Lei didn't reveal anything, but after seeing Yun Huizhou, he told him directly.

Lian Li lowered his head and scratched the tip of his nose. He didn't know what to say, so he remained silent.

Yun Huizhou nodded naturally and said, "I understand."

General Lei took a sip of tea and continued, "I called you here because I have something to ask of you."

Hearing this, Lian Li immediately looked up and his expression became serious.

"General, please speak."

He and Yun Huizhou said in unison.

Once these words were spoken, it was equivalent to directly agreeing to the matter without even asking what it was.

General Lei waved his hand, and his subordinate came over with an envelope and handed it to General Lei.

After General Lei took it, he said to the two of them, "Please take this letter back to Zuimeng Island and hand it over to Senior Li in person."

The two of them naturally agreed, but Lian Li was still puzzled as to why they insisted on doing it personally?

They sent two eagles yesterday, and one of them took the lotus back. The other one is still here. General Lei should know about this.

They could easily let the eagle take the letter back, which would be much faster than him and Yun Huizhou.

After all, running on the ground can never be faster than flying in the sky, and both of them were injured and could not get on the road for a while.

They would not dare to set off until their injuries were at least mostly healed.

Otherwise, if you are ambushed and killed on the road, wouldn’t that be troublesome?

It's impossible that they can only rely on Qu Tingquan to protect them.

Although the heroine is very powerful, he and Yun Huizhou, two men, hid behind a girl the whole time, letting her rush forward to act as thugs. Do they still have any dignity left?

Well, actually face is not that important compared to your life.

But the problem is that even if they set out on the journey, they cannot go fast with injuries on their bodies, and they may have to stop because of a relapse of their injuries.

After turning the doubts over in his mind, Lian Li glanced at Yun Huizhou and found that his expression had not changed. He couldn't tell whether Yun Huizhou had any doubts in his heart, but he wouldn't wait to ask on the spot.

After talking about this, General Lei chatted with Yun Huizhou for a while, and did not ignore Lian Li during the conversation.

The two of them stayed at General Lei's place until after dinner in the evening.

Before leaving, General Lei stopped them again and said, "Stay here for a while, and leave when your injuries are better. I have informed Baoshantang, and you can go there directly to ask for a doctor if you need one, and get the medicine you need directly there. It will all be put on my account."

Seeing Lian Li turned his head and looked at him in surprise, General Lei continued, "Medicines from the border areas are always more precious than those from the Central Plains."

Since it is more precious, the price will naturally be much higher.

When the two of them came, they naturally had a lot of money on them, but after walking through the desert and being hunted down so badly, the banknotes on them were either lost or damaged by sweat because they were kept close to their bodies.

The money they used to stay in the inn and buy medicinal herbs was given to them by Qu Tingquan because he guessed that they had no money left, so he just gave them ten taels of silver for them to spend.

Speaking of which, they have been living off the heroine since they met her this time.

Lian Li was still a little embarrassed, but Yun Huizhou ate with peace of mind.

But when he thought about the friendship between them, Lian Li felt that this was quite normal.

Although the Lord of West Island sent some medicine as support this time, due to the long journey and the fact that it was delivered by eagles, he could not send too much at once.

Therefore, the two of them must see a doctor here, get some medicine, and also have an eagle to raise.

Although eagles can hunt on their own, they can't just not feed them at all.

If you calculate it this way, the ten taels given by Qu Tingquan may not be enough. By then, they may need the considerate heroine to support them with some more money.

But now General Lei said that he would take care of everything...

This immediately reduced Lian Li's pressure a lot.

After all, judging from the fact that Qu Tingquan only gave them ten taels of silver at the beginning, she probably didn't have much money on her.
