The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chu Yuanxi had already arranged a table of food, and everyone took their seats according to their seniority. After a while of greetings, Chu Yuanxi talked about why he had been delayed in southern Xinjiang for so long.

It turned out that he and Han Zhen'er were heading south, originally planning to pick up the two elders of the Han family and then return to the capital. However, before they reached southern Xinjiang, they encountered bandits robbing a merchant caravan on the road.

At that time, Chu Yuanxi immediately took Han Zhener and hid so as not to be seen by the bandits. He saw that the bandits had surrounded the caravan, holding knives in their hands, and clamoring for the caravan members to take out all the valuables. The leader of the caravan was afraid and handed over all the gold and silver he had with him, but the bandits still attacked and knocked out all the caravan members. Chu Yuanxi had already drawn his sword and decided that as long as the bandits killed people, he would rush out and save as many people as he could.

But at this time, something strange happened. The bandits dragged all the people to the nearby trees and placed them one by one. Then they rummaged through the carriage for a long time, and finally took some food and a small amount of gold and silver. They restored the carriage to its original state and placed them neatly next to those people. Finally, they left in an orderly manner. Chu Yuanxi even discovered that someone was secretly watching the caravan, and he did not leave until everyone woke up and left safely.

Chu Yuanxi felt very strange. After hearing him say that, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi also felt strange. Are these really bandits?

Chu Yuanxi found it difficult to understand, so he decided to follow the last stalker to see what was going on. There was no time to settle Han Zhener, so he had to take Han Zhener with him to follow them. However, Han Zhener didn't know martial arts after all, and she ran out of strength after a while. Chu Yuanxi had to take Han Zhener into consideration, so he lost him.

This matter had been lingering in his mind. Seeing that Han Zhener's home in southern Xinjiang was not far away, he decided to send Han Zhener home first, and then he would go to look for the bandits.

There are many mountains near southern Xinjiang. After sending Han Zhener home, Chu Yuanxi began to search the mountain after mountain where he encountered the bandits. His efforts paid off. After ten days of searching, he finally found the bandits.

The bandits were having lunch at the time, and Chu Yuanxi approached them stealthily without being noticed. When they robbed that day, the bandits all covered their faces and wore turbans, but at this time, in their own stronghold, no one was wearing a mask. Chu Yuanxi could see clearly that those bandits were actually his former comrades, soldiers of the Langya Army!

Hearing this, Xiao Mubei stood up suddenly. Wen Rulan and Wu Lingqi also opened their mouths in surprise. It was unbelievable. It was rumored in the capital that the Langya Army had been wiped out by the Nandi army and all of them died in battle along with Chu Xiuyao. Why would some of them fall to the level of bandits?

Chu Yuanxi was also stunned at the time. He saw that the leader was a deputy general of the Langya Army at that time, named Lang Rui. The rest were some well-known soldiers, and some soldiers whose names could not be remembered but were just familiar faces. But without exception, these people were once members of the Langya Army. Now they were hiding in the mountains, eating wild vegetable porridge, living in thatched huts, and without exception, they were all pale and thin.

Because he was too shocked, Chu Yuanxi accidentally made a noise and was immediately discovered by the soldiers. After a loud shout, Chu Yuanxi was surrounded by people. After seeing Chu Yuanxi clearly, the soldiers also shouted, "General Chu!"

So, a quarter of an hour later, Chu Yuanxi was sitting in the center of the thatched hut, at the only wooden table, listening to Lang Rui telling him about their feelings after they parted. It turned out that after the great battle, both sides were badly injured. After the young Emperor of Nandi took Chu Xiuyao's body away, both sides temporarily had no spare energy to clean up the battlefield. At this time, Lang Rui slowly woke up. He was just injured and fainted, but he was not dead. Looking at the piles of corpses and blood around him, he gritted his teeth and climbed up, and began to check the corpses of the Langya army and look for survivors. After searching like this, he really found quite a few, so they all supported each other and returned to the barracks, but at that time the barracks were already empty and deserted.

Lang Rui and his men were all from the capital, and followed Chu Xiuyao to the battlefield. Now that the general had died and the Langya Army had been destroyed, they had nowhere to go, so they discussed going home. Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, they heard the news that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had been falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy, and his family had been confiscated and exterminated. Everyone was terrified. Even the Marquis had his family confiscated and exterminated. How could these soldiers survive if they returned to the capital? In desperation, everyone turned back, and when they passed by this hill, they thought it was better to hide, so they went into the mountain, found this place, and stayed there until now.

Chu Yuanxi was very sad to hear this, so he told them that the Langya Army had been rehabilitated, and his father had confirmed that he had not collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. Everything was a frame-up by a villain. Now the former emperor has issued an edict of repentance, and they can go home.

When Lang Rui and others heard the news, they were so excited that they shed tears. They had been sleeping in the open air and had been hungry for the past year. When they had nothing to eat, they had to disguise themselves as bandits and rob people on the road. However, they really didn't want to do that, so they only took a little each time, just enough for everyone to eat for a few days without starving to death. They never hurt anyone. Life was extremely difficult for everyone, and now that the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is visible, how could they not be excited?

So Chu Yuanxi asked them to pack up and wait for him to go back to pick up Han Zhener and Han's parents and take them back to the capital. Unexpectedly, just after he picked up Han's parents and Han Zhener, he received a message from Chu Zhongxi, asking him to hurry back to attend the ceremony of Chu Yunxi's enthronement as a concubine. In desperation, Chu Yuanxi had to let Lang Rui and the others return to the capital on their own. He would take Han Zhener and the others away as soon as possible, and then pick them up after returning to the capital.

After all, there were several hundred people, and a large group would definitely not be able to move as fast as them. Moreover, they had no horses and could only walk. The money Chu Yuanxi brought was not enough to buy a horse for each person.

Xiao Mubei had just been pulled down by Chu Yunxi to sit down. After trying to calm down his excitement, he asked anxiously, "Where are they now?"

Chu Yuanxi said: "Their speed is much slower than ours, but I have been waiting for you in Wuming Town for five days. I think we are only two or three days away from them."

"Okay, then we will set out early tomorrow morning to meet them. They have suffered a lot in the past year, and I must reward them well. I owe them." Xiao Mubei clenched his fists tightly. Chu Yunxi knew that although he rarely mentioned the Langya Army in the past year, that was where he had stayed since he was young. How could he not have deep feelings for the Langya Army?
