"What? General Dugu was attacked by a group of assassins in the south of the city? Kang Chang'an, the shopkeeper of Chuji Iron Shop, was intercepted and killed by three men in black on the way back to his home?"
At the same time, the Wang family’s ancestral home.
After listening to Bai Qing's report, Wang Yu suddenly stood up from his seat, his face ashen.
The Wang family has been in Taiyuan for many years, and this is the first time that someone has slapped the Wang family in the face so redly.
"My... subordinate is incompetent, please punish me, head of the family!"
Bai Qing and other secret guards of the Wang family knelt down in Shanqi and bowed.
"Where's Cheng Wu?"
Wang Yu walked up to Bai Qing with his hands behind his back and asked coldly.
"Master, the commander-in-chief has received the news and has gone to the south of the city to rescue General Dugu. We are the first to come back with the bodies of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan..."
Bai Qing replied calmly.
"Take people to the south of the city quickly!"
Wang Yu was silent for a moment and then ordered: "In addition, take someone to the Governor's Mansion and inform the Governor!"
Wang Yu knew in his heart that it was not the time to hold these people accountable and convict. The top priority was to ensure the safety of Dugu Xin. If something happened to Dugu Xin, then the Wang family would not be able to escape even if they jumped into the Yellow River!
Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan were discovered and brought back by the Wang family, but one of them was killed under the eyes of their Wang family guards. Due to circumstances and reasons, the Wang family had to bear the main responsibility; and Dugu Xin, the commander of the Imperial Army , if something happens in Taiyuan City, the Wang family will definitely be involved. After all, who makes the Wang family the local snakes in Taiyuan
"Yes! Master~!"
Bai Qing and others took the order and left.
In the room, Wang Yu had a solemn face, clasping his hands behind his back, and walked around the hall. Princess Tongan, who was sitting aside, frowned and said: "Dugu Xin was assassinated, and the key suspect they were looking for was intercepted again. Who is the other party?" How come you dare to openly commit murder in Taiyuan City? And also attack members of our Wang family?"
Wang Yu paused, sighed and said: "No matter where the other party comes from, since they dare to run wild in Taiyuan City, I must find them out! And the purpose of this group of people is probably not that simple. Their real The goal should be..."
Having said this, Wang Yu turned and looked to the northwest. That was the post house in Taiyuan City, where Li Tai and other teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy lived!
Princess Tong'an naturally understood what Wang Yu wanted to express. Her heart sank slightly and she said with a worried look on her face: "The other party actually wants to harm Qingque? As a result, we may not be able to leave back to Suizhou in a short time. !”
It was said that when she and Wang Yu returned to their ancestral home from Qizhou, they planned to leave for Suizhou immediately after settling Wang Renbiao's matter. However, Li Tai was her nephew and grandnephew, and she had no regard for love, reason, public or private matters. She has to take good care of Li Tai. After all, this is Taiyuan, her husband’s family’s territory!
"Suizhou will definitely not be able to return for the time being! King Wei and others must not cause trouble in Taiyuan City! Now we still have to see if Chengwu can rescue Duguxin and bring back one or two alive! At present, we are in Ming Dynasty. The enemy is hiding, and the other party knows everything about us, so we must grasp the other party's situation as soon as possible!"
Wang Yu's eyes were as bright as a torch and he said in a deep voice.
As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in every battle. Although the Wang family is powerful, if they don't know anything about the opponent's situation, they will be passive at all times. This is something Wang Yu absolutely does not want to see.
Princess Tongan nodded silently.
"Report~! Head of the family! The commander-in-chief has rescued General Dugu!"
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and then Bai Qing, who had left earlier, quickly ran into the hall, bowed to Wang Yu and clasped his fists.
Wang Yu, who was pacing anxiously in the hall, his eyes suddenly lit up. He turned around and said with joy on his face: "Okay! Great! Where is Cheng Wu now? How is General Dugu doing? Is he injured~? "
Although he and Princess Tong'an had previously analyzed that the enemy's target was probably Li Tai, but even so, they had no good solution, because the important task of protecting Li Tai and his party could only be borne by Dugu Xin and other Forbidden Forces. The Wang family cannot afford this responsibility! So nothing can happen to Duguxin!
Furthermore, no matter what, Dugu Xin is the commander of the Bei Ya Forbidden Army. If he dies in Taiyuan without any explanation, no one can withstand Li Er's thunderous wrath!
After all, the Beiya Forbidden Army is Li Er's direct lineage and ace force, and the leader of this army represents Li Er to some extent!
"Go home, Master, the Commander-in-Chief has sent General Dugu to the post house. As for General Dugu, he... He was seriously injured and was poisoned. The Commander-in-Chief has ordered someone to find a famous doctor in the city to treat General Dugu's poison and injury!"
Bai Qing replied tremblingly.
"What? General Dugu was not only seriously injured, but also poisoned?"
Wang Yu, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt his heart in his throat again when he heard this. He thought for a while and said quickly: "Get your horses ready quickly, I have to go to the post house! In addition, please take my name card with you. , go to the Huichun Hall in the north of the city and ask Dr. Gongsun to come to the post house quickly to diagnose and treat General Dugu!"
Huichun Hall is the best medical center in Taiyuan City. The doctor there, Gongsun Liang, was a former imperial physician. He has superb medical skills, but he has a weird temper. He usually doesn't look down on even high-ranking officials. He just wants to be treated. , he was taken away directly without medical treatment. It really makes people love and hate him! In the early years, Wang Yu and Gongsun Liang had some interactions. This time Wang Yu came forward to invite him, and Gongsun Liang would definitely not offend Wang Yu!
It was only after Wang Yu heard that Dugu Xin's current situation was dire that he thought of asking someone to invite Gongsun Liang.
"Yes! Master!"
Bai Qing took the order and left.
After a while, a servant came to report that the carriage and horses had been prepared. Wang Yu went out alone, preparing to ride to the post house. But as soon as he left the house, he met an acquaintance. Oh, no, to be precise, he had been there before. An acquaintance of!
"Renyi~? Where did you come back from?"
Outside the gate of the mansion, a young man in rich clothes and full of nobility was raising his feet to enter the mansion. He almost bumped into Wang Yu. Wang Yu took a closer look and couldn't help but said slightly surprised.
That's right, this young master in gorgeous clothes is Wang Yu's "former" second son Wang Renyi, and now Wang Xinyuan, the second son of the Wang family!
Compared with the poverty and desolation when he was imprisoned, Wang Renyi is now dressed in luxurious clothes, with a jade-like complexion and a radiant face, just like the rising sun, full of vigorous vitality. There is no trace of desolation on his face. He is completely different from when he was imprisoned!
This guy has just been adopted into the second room, and he is already dressed in such luxurious clothes. It seems that Wang Kui really attaches great importance to this newly adopted grandson!
"...Master of the house!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of Wang Yu, Wang Renyi looked slightly startled. Just as he was about to subconsciously call out "Dad", he was suddenly startled and quickly changed his words: "Master, Renyi is dead. The person standing in front of you now is The eldest son of the second wife of the Wang family—Wang Xinyuan!"
Wang Yu's face was stagnant, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. Although the son in front of him was unsatisfactory and had bad conduct, no matter what, he was his biological son. But now his biological son was so alienated from him, it was simply... It is impossible for Wang Yu, a father, to say that he does not feel uncomfortable at all because he is a stranger!
"Oh! Xinyuan, I have something important to do, so I won't gossip with you!"
Wang Yu suddenly lost interest in asking questions. He waved his hand towards Wang Xinyuan and went out directly.
As for where Wang Renyi came back from, he doesn't care at all now.
… … … … … … …
"Report~! Sir Governor, General Dugu was attacked by a group of unidentified men in black in the south of the city. Feng Baotou happened to meet him while patrolling the south of the city. Finally, he cooperated with the Wang family secret guards to rescue General Dugu. General Dugu has been sent to Go back to the inn~!”
In the back office of the governor's office, Wang Liaoyuan, who had gotten up early, was handling official duties. Suddenly, a government servant hurried over and bowed to report.
People in the officialdom pay most attention to art and emotional intelligence when speaking. When the government official went to arrest him, the battle had already come to an end. But after this guy said this, it seemed that Feng Capt. had done a lot in this rescue. It seemed like he had the power to do it, and he was invisibly sending Feng Captou to flatter him! In addition, he only reported the assassination of Dugu Xin, but did not mention the interception and killing of Kang Changan at all, because Kang Changan was taken away by the Wang family. Even if he died, it should be a headache for the Wang family. The governor's office has nothing to do with it!
"What? General Dugu was assassinated in the south of the city?"
After Wang Liaoyuan listened, the hand that was replying to the official document couldn't help shaking, and a large drop of ink fell on the book. But at this moment, he couldn't care about it. He put down the brush, stood up and asked: "How is General Dugu's injury? The assassin is injured?" Were you caught?"
The officer hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully: "Sir, General Dugu... He fought with more than twenty assassins alone. Not only did he suffer many injuries on his body, but he was also poisoned. He is currently unconscious. Feng Capture The boss has asked the brothers to invite famous doctors in the city to go to the post house to treat General Dugu's poison and injuries!"
Hearing this, Wang Liaoyuan's heart suddenly sank. He did not expect that the number of assassins would be so large, and that Dugu Xin's injuries would be so severe. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, then frowned and said: "Pass this official's order. , immediately block the city gates to prevent the assassins from escaping Taiyuan City! In addition, with my official warrant, immediately go to the state capital camp and order Fang to join the army to quickly mobilize 3,000 troops to assist the government in searching for the assassins in the city!"
Dugu Xin, the commander of the imperial army, was openly assassinated in a big city like Taiyuan City. This was a time of peace and prosperity. To openly assassinate a senior imperial general in the street was tantamount to rebellion! When such a big thing happens, it is impossible for the Bingzhou Governor's Office to do nothing. At the very least, they have to catch the murderer, otherwise it will be difficult for Li Er to explain!
What's more, there is a prince like Li Tai in Taiyuan City now. The assassin can assassinate Dugu Xin today, and he might be able to assassinate Li Tai in the future. Wang Liaoyuan must kill this danger in advance, otherwise Li Tai will be killed. If something happens in Taiyuan, his political career may be over!
"Yes! I will do it now!"
The yamen officer also heard the urgency and seriousness of the situation from Wang Liaoyuan's tone. He quickly clasped his fists and followed the order.
Although the soldiers and horses in the Zhechong Mansion camp in Bingzhou can only be mobilized with the tiger talisman of Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, the situation in Taiyuan City is critical now. As the saying goes, the power is urgent, Wang Liaoyuan urgently mobilized three thousand soldiers and horses in the name of the governor of Bingzhou. It can still be done!
In addition, when Wang Liaoyuan went to the camp to mobilize troops, he was looking for Fang Shenjun, not the captain. This was because there was no captain in the current Bingzhoufu camp. The former captain Xu Tingda was unfortunately killed when he was ordered by Li Zexuan to guard Yanmen Pass. Damn it, the new captain hasn’t been appointed yet! Today, the Bingzhou camp is in charge of Fang Gongteng, who joined the army! This person had served Li Zexuan in guarding Longmen Pass, and the commendation appointment from the Ministry of War had not yet come down. It is estimated that when he joins the army, he might be promoted to the rank of captain or deputy captain!
"Come here! Prepare your horses quickly! I am going to the post house!"
After a moment of silence, Wang Liaoyuan shouted outside.
"yes!"
… … … … … … …
"How are you, doctor? How is General Dugu's injury?"
In Taiyuan City, in the post house, Dugu Xin had already been placed on a couch. There were more than ten doctors carrying medicine boxes in the room, lining up to treat Dugu Xin. Li Tai, Dugu Feiying and others had already set off. They went to Longshan, but were urgently chased back by the Imperial Army who stayed behind in the post house. After every doctor examined Dugu Xin's injuries, Dugu Feiying would immediately step forward and ask.
Lying on the bed is his brother. I am afraid no one in this room is more anxious than him. At this moment, Dugu Feiying's heart is filled with infinite self-blame and regret because of the news about Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan in Shuorenfang. , he was the one who told Dugu Xin. If he hadn’t been so talkative, Dugu Xin wouldn’t have gone there, let alone have any trouble!
When Dugu Xin planned to go to Shuorenfang alone, his younger brother did not stop him or go with him. This directly led to Dugu Xin being isolated and struggling to support himself when he was attacked. How could Dugu Feiying not regret this
If Dugu Xin never wakes up, Dugu Feiying will probably spend the rest of his life in self-blame and regret!
"Alas~! The external injuries on General Dugu's body are easy to treat, but he has been poisoned by several poisons in his body, and there are also serious internal injuries. Forgive me for my shallow medical skills, there is nothing I can do!"
Under Dugu Feiying's earnest eyes, the doctor shook his head and sighed.
This is the fifth doctor to say there is nothing he can do!
Dugu Feiying's heart suddenly sank, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
"Next!"
Li Tai, who was standing aside, said expressionlessly: "You are all famous doctors in Taiyuan City. Whoever can cure General Dugu today, I will reward him with three thousand guans!"
Along the way, Dugu Xin has always done his duty to protect Li Tai, Yanhuang Academy and others. As the saying goes, people are not like grass. Although Li Tai is usually the superior King of Wei in the eyes of everyone, he doesn't want anything to happen to Dugu Xin!
