The pride of heaven

Yongliang City

After Li Junran settled the army, he took Qi Mingjue and several generals straight to the Governor's Mansion the next day.

The streets that used to be bustling with people are now deserted, with three or two kittens, the situation at the border is critical, and the people are panic-stricken, so naturally they stay behind closed doors.

As soon as they entered the governor's mansion, everyone felt that the atmosphere was not right, there were weird eyes everywhere, and dodging soldiers everywhere.

Qin Feng's parents died at the age of three, and he was displaced by human traffickers. When he was six years old, he happened to be rescued by Li Zelan.Li Zelan saw that his bones were slender, flexible, and a martial arts prodigy, so he took him under his door and taught him carefully. Qin Feng followed Li Zelan in his childhood adventures, experienced countless experiences, and was extremely sensitive to the dangers and weird atmosphere around him. He was the first thing that the adoptive son thought of when he was choosing a bodyguard. With him by Li Junran's side, he, the adoptive father, could feel at ease.

Qin Feng deliberately slowed down and whispered in Langyue's ear: "It's really weird here, it doesn't feel right."

Langyue rolled her eyes, and poked his elbow under his ribs: "You are the only one with sharp eyes, and you didn't see that everyone is on guard."

Qin Feng pretended to be angry and said: "Hey, you don't know a good heart, I'm afraid you will suffer." Lang Yue is Tang Yin's apprentice, and Qin Feng was raised together with him as a child, and the two spend a lot of time together. Playing jokes together, Qin Feng never hides anything from him.

Langyue didn't appreciate it, and gave him a hard look: "Young poor, be vigilant, if His Highness makes a mistake, you and I can't explain it to the master with our heads up."

Qin Feng kept silent, his eyes suddenly felt sharp, and he quickly followed Li Junran.

Everyone entered the front hall, and the room was empty. The governor of Yongliang did not come out to meet him all the way. Qin Feng looked coldly at the young general who led the way, and said, "Your governor is so arrogant. His Highness is here, but he hasn't come out yet. ? Why is it difficult for His Highness to send someone to invite him?"

The young general who led the way had flickering eyes, hesitating and unable to utter a word.

Langyue raised her sword in an extremely cooperative manner, pointed at the young general and said angrily, "What? You don't want to say it? Since you don't say it now, you don't need to say it in the future."

"My lord, please calm down. This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Qi. They all obey their subordinates." A young general in silver armor hurriedly walked in outside the door. woman.

If it wasn't for this general's armor that gave him the fierceness of a soldier and the killing spirit on the battlefield, this young man really has the gentle and refined attitude of a scholar. Qi Mingjue squinted and smiled with emotion at this enviable style of Confucian general.

Li Junran looked at Qi Mingjue, his eyes became darker and his complexion became more gloomy.

Xiao Qi panicked and knelt down in front of the crowd, cowardly said: "Your Highness, this really has nothing to do with General Luo. General Luo is a good man, and it's all for the sake of the people in the city. It's not General Luo's fault."

Luo Yao took a step forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed his head to plead guilty: "My subordinate Luo Yao, who served as a guard in the Yongliang garrison, committed the crime of detaining Lord Inspector He. This matter was done by one of my subordinates and has nothing to do with it Others, this subordinate is willing to accept His Highness's punishment."

"No, it's not like that." Xiao Qi blushed anxiously and waved his hands again and again, "It's not like that."

Luo Yao: "Xiao Qi, it is indeed my mistake to make the following mistakes, please don't do this."

Xiao Qi: "But..."

Li Junran said coldly: "Shut up, Xiao Qi, you slowly explain the matter clearly, what's going on."

"Since last autumn, the Wuheng barbarians have been harassing the border villages," Xiao Qi said intermittently, "at first it was a small group of soldiers, and later they invited more people and joined a lot of cavalry. They entered the village , Kill anyone you see, rob things you see, burn what you can’t take away, and make people’s lives miserable.”

Qin Feng: "Does the governor not care?"

Xiao Qi shook his head: "It doesn't matter, many people knelt at the gate of the yamen, asking for help from the governor, asking him to send troops to fight against the enemy, but he ignored it, saying that he could not send troops without the order of the court."

"General Luo couldn't see the suffering of the people, so he sent eight military reports to the imperial court, but they all came to nothing. The common people said that the imperial court didn't care about us. Although Xiao Qi was timid, he also knew that protecting the common people is the duty of soldiers. The imperial court doesn't care about us. We can't ignore it ourselves."

Xiao Qi paused, looked at Luo Yao and continued, "Later General Luo took us to the governor's mansion, detained the governor, and then led us to stop Wuhuan's harassment several times. Later, Wuhuan When Huan's [-] troops came under pressure, we sent an urgent report of [-] miles to the imperial court in the name of the governor."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he lowered his head quietly. When he was very young, his father was killed by the Wuheng barbarians. He was brought up by his mother who worked so hard. His family hated the country, so he chose to join the army. He admired General Luo He has a poor family background since he was a child, and he has never studied. He didn't know if what he said just now would harm General Luo. He told the truth because he didn't want General Luo to have trouble, and he didn't want General Luo to be misunderstood.

To be honest, he has never seen so many generals and officials in his life. Xiao Qi was very scared. He looked up at Qi Mingjue. He could feel that he was different from others. Maybe I begged this lord, You can help General Luo.

Xiao Qi moved in front of Qi Mingjue, pulled Qi Mingjue's clothes and begged anxiously: "My lord, Brother Luo, uh, no, it's General Luo, General Luo is a good man, really, he is very good, Xiao Qi has never read it." When I first entered the barracks, because I was illiterate, I wrote my name in Xiaowen, so I was often laughed at. General Luo knew about it, and not only reprimanded those people, saying that we are brothers, we should love each other, but also taught them personally. Xiao Qi writes his name."

Qi Mingjue listened with a gentle smile on his face: "Unexpectedly, General Luo is not only courageous, but also caring for his subordinates as carefully as dust. He is indeed a rare good general."

Li Junran's face was dark, and the chills continued to hit. Everyone present shrank their heads and necks unconsciously, feeling a gust of cold wind blowing across their backs.Qin Fenglangyue exchanged glances with each other, trying to shrink themselves and reduce their sense of existence. They knew that when Li Junran was angry, there must be a lot of distance to hide.

Li Junran doesn't like to see his Jue'er admiring others so straightforwardly, and he doesn't like to hear his Jue'er praise others so gently. He should be the only one in Jue'er's eyes.

Li Junran: "Pleading for the people, fighting for the country, defending the country, and expelling the barbarians are our duties. The governor He Yaozu was in his position but did not seek his own government. He shook the morale of the army. There is no pardon for the crime. The prison was handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a thorough investigation. Lieutenant General Luo Yao was lawless, and he committed crimes against his superiors. He thought that he was dedicated to serving the people, and his aspirations were commendable, but not punishing him was not enough to enforce the law, so Luo Yao was ordered to guard the north gate."

The generals breathed a sigh of relief, and their nervous expressions also eased.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." The moment Luo Yao saluted and thanked him, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, which was fleeting.
