The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 404: Another Strong General
Xiao Mubei must be heartbroken when something happened to the Langya Army, but he has always been forbearing and never said anything. Now that he heard that there are still survivors of the Langya Army, he can no longer hide his feelings.
Xiao Mubei slept very uneasily that night. Chu Yunxi was a little worried about him and slept very lightly all night. When she heard Xiao Mubei repeatedly mentioning the Marshal General in his dream, she knew that he was dreaming about what he thought about during the day.
On the second day, Chu Yuanxi arranged for Han Zhener to accompany the two elders of the Han family back to the capital first. He returned with Chu Yunxi, Xiao Mubei and others to pick up the Langya troops.
Han Zhen'er held Chu Yunxi's hand reluctantly, "Yunxi, when you are done with things here, you must hurry back to Beijing. I have been away for so long, and I have been thinking about you. I didn't expect that when I was finally supposed to go back, you would go out again."
Chu Yunxi patted Han Zhener soothingly, "Sister-in-law, take good care of yourself and your uncle and aunt. When I'm done, I'll go back as soon as possible. I miss the delicious food you cook, too."
Han Zhener laughed and scratched Chu Yunxi's nose, "You only remember delicious food."
Reluctantly leaving, the large group continued on their way. After two days, they ran into the Langya Army head-on.
As soon as he saw them, Xiao Mubei jumped off the carriage. The leader, Lang Rui, was a tall, dark-skinned man. He was startled to see a man jumping off a super luxurious carriage and heading towards them. He immediately became alert. When he saw who was coming, he immediately became excited, dropped the knife in his hand, knelt down, and shouted, "Your Majesty, I see Your Majesty."
After he knelt, everyone else knelt down one after another, until they knelt all over the road. Passersby stopped and looked over here.
Xiao Mubei hurriedly helped Lang Rui up and said, "It's my fault. I made you suffer."
Lang Rui stood up, and Xiao Mubei shouted to the people behind him: "All soldiers, please stand up."
Everyone then got up one after another, all with happy expressions on their faces, and whispers could be heard.
"It's the prince. The prince has come to save us."
"It's King Dingbei, that's great."
"The prince has not forgotten us, he still recognizes us."
"We are saved."
Some even cried with joy. Lang Rui also wiped his tears and said, "Your Highness, please stop saying that. Everything is over. We have all heard what General Chu said. If it weren't for Your Highness, the Langya Army would not have been rehabilitated, and we would not have been able to return home."
"Don't worry, you are all soldiers of Dasui. Dasui will definitely not treat you unfairly. I have already written a memorial to His Majesty and sent it back. When you go back, His Majesty will definitely reward you according to your merits. If you still want to serve the country, when I return to Beijing from my trip to Southern Xinjiang, I will definitely arrange a good position for you so that you can still play your useful role."
Lang Rui and a group of Langya army soldiers were very excited. They were now on the official road, where it was inconvenient to talk as people passing by were watching them. So they went into a forest, set up camp, and sat down to reminisce about the past.
Talking about the purpose of Xiao Mubei and the others' trip, Lang Rui frowned and said, "I have dealt with this County Magistrate Zhu before. It's a coincidence that the hilltop where we were entrenched before happened to be in Wushan. One time, the brothers really had no food, so we had to go down the mountain to find food. We happened to encounter another group of bandits robbing passers-by. We couldn't bear to see it, so we took action to solve the problem. At this time, County Magistrate Zhu brought people over and said that he was here to suppress the bandits. Seeing that we had solved the problem, County Magistrate Zhu came to talk to me and hoped that I would take the brothers to the county government office in Wushan Town to serve him. I was afraid that he would discover our identities, so I declined. Unexpectedly, he immediately turned hostile and said that we were also bandits. If we refused to go back with him, he would lead troops to eliminate us. I didn't want to cause trouble, so I used the tactic of procrastination and told him that I would think about it. Then I took the brothers away from Wushan overnight and came to the mountain where we are now."
Xiao Mubei seemed to be thinking about something. Chu Yunxi said, "It seems that this County Magistrate Zhu is still trying to win over experts to serve him. I'm afraid he is not that easy to deal with."
Lang Rui already knew that Chu Yunxi was the Princess of Dingbei, and said, "The Princess is right. Later, I secretly went to the county government office in Wushan Town to observe once, thinking that if County Magistrate Zhu is really a good person, I will take some brothers to seek refuge with him, at least I can earn a living for my brothers. But later I found that there were many people coming and going in the county government office, and they all had certain skills, and there were also some outsiders coming and going frequently. The entire county government office was guarded like an iron barrel, and it was difficult to break through. I felt that something was wrong, so I gave up the idea of seeking refuge. I didn't expect that they were actually doing this kind of business. It's really too unscrupulous."
Xiao Mubei nodded and said, "Fortunately you didn't go, otherwise you would have been an accomplice to the evil. However, if what you said is true, it would be difficult to successfully capture the County Magistrate Zhu. It seems that we have to find another way."
You have to know that County Magistrate Zhu committed a capital crime punishable by beheading. If he really approaches, the chance of him surrendering is slim. Xiao Mubei is not afraid of fighting him. No matter how many people he has, they are all masters and they are not afraid of him. But he is afraid that others will surround them while he will escape. That would require some effort.
Chu Yunxi also understood this and said, "It would be best if someone could sneak in ahead of time and find out their deployment and terrain, so that we can prepare in advance and block his escape route."
Xiao Mubei nodded, but who should he send? The Purple Guards were all women, which was obviously not very convenient. Should he send Bai Yu, Hei Mu or Wen Rulan?
At this time, Lang Rui said loudly: "Prince, let me take a few brothers with me. This way it won't seem too abrupt, and the man surnamed Zhu won't get suspicious."
After all, it was County Magistrate Zhu who had taken a fancy to Lang Rui and wanted to recruit him. Now Lang Rui is indeed the best candidate. However, Xiao Mubei hesitated, "No, you can finally go home, I can't let you take risks again."
Lang Rui laughed and said, "Your Highness, although we really want to go home, as you said, after we go back, we will still come out and choose to serve the country. This is our mission and also our original intention of joining the Langya Army. However, Your Highness, I still have a little selfish motive, and I hope that Your Highness can agree to it."
Xiao Mubei asked: "What?"
Lang Rui said, "We hope that after we return to the capital, we can continue to follow the prince. I heard that the prince is now the Minister of Dali Temple. So we can be a constable or a jailer. As long as we can follow the prince, we will do anything."
It seems that the prestige of King Dingbei in the Langya Army and even in the surrounding areas of Southern Xinjiang is particularly high. Chu Yunxi straightened his back, feeling proud of it. Xiao Mubei said in a resounding voice: "Okay, it's decided!"
