"Haha... Xiaomo, from today on you are the hero of our Fanyang County!"
Seeing the enemies who had retreated, Liu Changhe and the others, as well as all the soldiers guarding the city, all jumped for joy. Unexpectedly, the battle was not as tragic as imagined, and Li Mo retreated the enemy forces all by himself.
"Uncle Liu, thank you very much. It's just good luck this time."
If his guess was wrong, then Fanyang County would really cease to exist. Now he was scared just thinking about it!
"You kid, stop being so modest and let's go back to the city!"
…
In the meeting hall of the Sheriff's Mansion, the suppressed and dull anger of the past has disappeared, and has been replaced by laughter and laughter.
Many strong men were drinking and chatting happily. This was also a celebration banquet specially arranged by Liu Changhe. Today, the enemy was retreated, so that all the strong men who had been nervous for a long time could relax.
"Xiao Mo, what's wrong? I see you're not very happy. Is there anything on your mind?"
Liu Changhe came to Li Mo who was standing outside the hall and asked with concern.
"Uncle Liu, it's nothing. I was just wondering...when will the people in the city come back."
"Haha... You kid, I think it's a lie that you miss the people, but it's true that you miss Yan'er!"
Li Mo was immediately guessed by Liu Changhe, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Are you still embarrassed? Don't worry, I have sent people to Qingshi City to notify them in three days at most, and they will come back!"
"Uncle Liu, don't you object to Yan'er and me being together?"
"Objection? Why should I object?"
"I'm just a..."
"Xiao Mo, you don't need to say anything. I know what you are thinking. As long as you and Yan'er are willing to each other, uncle will never interfere. No status is important. Uncle only has such a daughter. Don't worry about leaving her to your uncle. !”
"Thank you Uncle Liu!"
Li Mo's last worry was dispelled and he felt much better.
Liu Changhe was extremely happy. He was originally afraid that Li Mo would not be willing, but it seemed that he was overly worried.
"Okay! Xiaomo, if you don't want to stay in this situation, just go back to your room and rest! I want to go in and socialize!"
"Uncle Liu, you can do whatever you want, I can walk around as I please!"
…
Li Mo came to the garden outside his yard. This was Liu Yan's favorite place. He seemed to see Liu Yan's beautiful figure dancing among the flowers!
"Yan'er, we will meet in a few days!"
…
"Report! Report to the Governor, Madam and Miss are not found among the people returning to the city one after another!"
"What! Send people out of the city to search along the road!"
"yes!"
"Changhe, what's wrong?"
As soon as Liu Shizhong entered the meeting hall, he saw a soldier Huang running out in a panic, feeling a little confused.
"Oh! Great Elder, Yan'er and her mother haven't come back yet. I was worried that something might happen to them, so I sent people out of the city to look for them."
"It shouldn't be! The two of them are protected by Liu Jing, and they are still within the jurisdiction of our Fanyang County. They should be fine! Has Liu Jing come back?"
"No!"
Liu Changhe had an ominous premonition in his heart!
"Changhe, don't worry, I'll go out and search for you. You can safely settle the people who are returning to the city."
"Then there is Elder Lao."
"Master, I'd better go!" Li Mo walked into the meeting hall in a hurry.
"I heard what you just said. The city still needs you two to be in charge, so I can just go!"
"Well, that's fine, Xiaomo, don't be anxious. Maybe the two of them were delayed for something."
"Don't worry, Master, Uncle Liu, I'm leaving."
…
Li Mo rode a war horse out of the city and headed towards Qingshi City!
"Yan'er, don't let anything happen to you!"
Li Mo had mixed feelings in his heart. After all, the enemy had just retreated. He was afraid that Huang Tianba would send people to capture them. If that happened..., even he did not dare to think about it.
All he can do now is pray that they don't fall into Huang Tianba's hands.
"This little brother, may I ask if you have seen the county governor's wife and daughter?"
Liu Changhe was loved by the people in Fanyang County, and his wife was even more charitable, so most of the people knew the county governor's wife.
Li Mo stopped a commoner returning to the city and asked.
"I saw it when I went out of the city, but I didn't see it when I came back."
…
Asked again and again, disappointed again and again.
"Did Huang Tianba really send someone to arrest him?"
Li Mo shook his head and rejected his idea. Continue searching along the road on horseback.
Just at sunset, Li Mo saw a carriage approaching in front of him. Judging from the clothes of the driver, he should be a servant of the county guard.
Li Mo jumped off his horse and greeted him.
"Who is in the car?"
The servant looked at Li Mo warily.
"We are from the Sheriff's Mansion. In the car is Liu Jing, the grandson of the third elder of the Sheriff's Mansion."
After hearing the other party's answer, Li Mo opened the curtain of the carriage and saw Liu Jing, who was covered in blood and unconscious!
"What's going on? What happened? Tell me!"
Seeing Liu Jing looking like this, something must have happened to the two of them!
"Yes! Yes! Young Master Liu Jing was injured by the Lord of Bluestone City, Wang Hu!"
"What about the Sheriff's wife and young lady? Have you seen them?"
At this time, Li Mo was extremely angry!
"Both the madam and the young lady were detained by Wang Hu. It was because of this that Master Liu Jing started fighting with Wang Hu, and it ended up like this!"
"King Hu of Bluestone City? Wait for me, I'll be there soon!"
Li Mo's eyes flashed coldly, he got on his horse and ran towards Qingshi City!
"Who is this person? He looks so fierce!"
Since Li Mo rarely went out in the Liu family, this servant had never seen Li Mo. He muttered something softly and drove the carriage towards Fanyang County.
At this time, the city lord's palace in Qingshi City was bustling with activity. In the Yizhen Hall, the fat Wang Hu was sitting in the master's seat, tearing up the food in his hands and stuffing it into his mouth. The maids serving beside him kept pouring food into his cup. Continue to drink. A pair of squinting little eyes wandered over the dancer who was dancing in the hall.
"Congratulations, Lord City Lord, on your beautiful wife. You are truly blessed!"
An old man dressed as an official sitting at the bottom raised the wine glass in his hand and congratulated Wang Hu.
This is Wang Hu who is hosting a banquet with officials and some wealthy businessmen in the city to celebrate that he has taken in another concubine.
"Congratulations! Congratulations! The Lord of the City is so mighty!"
…
The local wealthy businessmen on the side also toasted to Wang Hu and flattered him.
But Wang Hu obviously likes their approach.
"Haha... You all rejoice together! Today is my big day. You must not get drunk or come home, otherwise you will look down on me, Wang Hu!"
…
In the backyard of the city lord's mansion, in a bright room, several maids were persuading the haggard-looking Liu Yan.
"Madam! Do you see what's wrong with marrying the master of our palace? Being able to live well and enjoy life every day is no better than you two, mother and daughter, wandering around!"
"Yes! If you are so handsome, you have to know how to take advantage of it. If the master of the palace can like me, I am totally willing."
Obviously they didn't know the identities of Liu Yan's mother and daughter, and even Wang Hu didn't know. When the people of Fanyang County returned to the city yesterday, Wang Hu saw Liu Yan in the crowd at a glance, and was immediately attracted by her beauty. Fascinated. However, Liu Jing stopped him.
Wang Hu had no other hobbies but lust. How could he let go of such a beauty? He used his strength as a senior warrior to injure Liu Jing and bring Liu Yan and her daughter back to the house.
Liu Yan also revealed her identity, but Wang Hu didn't believe it at all. If she was the daughter of a county governor, would she flee with the people? So I always thought that she was making up lies to deceive myself.
