The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

[-]. Suspicious Clouds in Linjiang Town (End)

"Hurry up!"

"Water! It's not enough!"

"Ah ah ah - sir! sir -"

"Ma'am, stop crying soon..."

There is a panic in front of Liu Zhi County Mansion, which brings more uneasiness to Linjiang Town, which was originally in a panic.The sky gradually brightened, the flames soaring into the sky gradually diminished, and there was only thick smoke billowing in the whitish sky.

"Report to the left team, the fire has been extinguished."

King Ren Chen Ke knew that Liu's house was in trouble, so he ordered Zuo Ming to lead the guards to help the people in the town put out the fire. Only now did the people in the town know that the famous King Ren had come to Linjiang Town.

"Okay." Zuo Ming always maintains a steady voice when speaking, without any emotional ups and downs. Guan Hongfeng's bodyguards are quite familiar with the style of the leader of the hidden guards, and they all obey Zuo Ming's orders as they obey Guan Hongfeng. . "How about the casualties in the house?"

"Report to the left team, there are 36 people in Liu's house, 14 people died, 17 people were injured, nine of them were seriously injured."

"Can you find out the source of the fire?"

"Report to the left team. The source of the fire has been identified. It started in Liu Zhixian's study. According to reports from Liu's servants, Liu Zhixian rested in the study last night. It seems that the candles overturned and ignited the books. If you don’t realize it, it will lead to a catastrophe.”

"Then magistrate Liu..."

"Report to the left team, death has been confirmed."

Zuo Ming pondered, turned his head to look at Mrs. Liu who was collapsed in the arms of her mother-in-law not far away, and instead of going over, took a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and walked into Liu's residence.

The Liu Mansion is not big, and the original layout can be vaguely seen from the wreckage. Many details show that this is a clean and poor man.

Going straight to the most severely damaged study, all you can see are black and gray walls and broken wood, all books, calligraphy and paintings have been reduced to ashes, and Liuzhi County was burned beyond recognition.

"Are you sure this is Liuzhi County?"

"Verified to be correct."

"Hmm..." There were no clues at the scene, and everything that should have been turned into ashes in the fire, "Retreat..."

"Yes!"

Back at the inn, Chen Ke was already awake, Zuo Ming went upstairs to report the situation, and saw Guan Hongfeng was also in the room, as if he had just come back.

"Guan Hongfeng, you go first."

"Yes. My lord, last night I sneaked into the mansion with a smile..." Guan Hongfeng started from sneaking into the mansion, met the flustered Liu Zhixian, discovered the face-changed Abi, and the true identity of the magistrate. Wait, let’s talk about the details one by one, and talk about the reasons for returning home late. I found a message in Dr. Huang’s residence, went to Baiguo Mountain to find the doctor Yin and others, and had a head-on conflict with the demon cultists. Unfortunately, Still failed to leave a living mouth.

"They have strict discipline, and their beliefs are also very firm. Seeing that they are about to fail, they all bite the poison in their mouths and commit suicide."

Guan Hongfeng sighed and was a little depressed. He deliberately cut mercy twice, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cruel.

"Magistrate Liu probably knows a lot of things." Guan Hongfeng finally concluded.

Chen Ke raised his eyebrows, looked at Zuo Ming silently, Zuo Ming understood, and reported: "My lord, there was a fire at Liuzhi County's mansion in the early morning of this morning, and Liu Zhixian was killed in the flames, beyond recognition, his study was severely damaged, and nothing useful was obtained clues."

"We already have a lot of clues." Chen Ke pondered, rubbing the rim of the cup subconsciously, "The demon cultists are the assassins outside Songjiang Town, and I am afraid that the turmoil in the court has involved the tricks of the world. No, to be precise, I am afraid it is The Yang people and foreign races are going to make a comeback to seize the country, from the rivers and lakes to the court, they have penetrated deeper and farther than imagined..."

Chen Ke filtered the officials of the court in his mind, his brows became more and more frowned, and suddenly he thought of how many bureaucrats would be involved in the big world besides the ones that are often seen in the capital?Isn't that the best proof?

Guan Hongfeng and Zuo Ming stood quietly, waiting for King Ren's order, and King Ren was here.After a long while, Chen Ke said: "Guan Hongfeng, find someone to investigate this demon sect, Zuo Ming, the report on the capital's movements has been changed from once every five days to once every three days, and check these two people first..." Chen Ke used Pointing to the tea, he wrote down two names on the table.

Zuo Ming stepped forward to take a look, he was startled, and said "yes" with a serious expression.

Chen Ke remained expressionless, as if he was just scribbling casually, then turned to Guan Hongfeng and asked, "How is Doctor Yin doing now?"

"No problem."

"Is it possible to receive a doctor?"

Remembering that this trip was originally to Wushan, Guan Hongfeng thought that Chen Ke would have such a plan when he knew about the doctor Yin. It is my responsibility to save the dying and heal the wounded, and I will definitely be able to receive medical treatment."

"it is good……"

At this moment, Grandpa Quan knocked on the door and came in. Before he could speak, Chen Ke asked, "Are you awake?"

"My lord, Mr. Xu is awake."

When Chen Ke heard the words, he got up and went to Xu Qingfeng.

Guan Hongfeng and Zuo Ming knelt to see him off, and after King Ren left, they got up and went downstairs.

"Are you injured?" Zuo Ming asked first.

"No." Guan Hongfeng blurted out, Zuo Ming really didn't believe it, he glanced at him, although Guan Hongfeng was wearing black clothes, but faint bloodstains could be seen on it.Guan Hongfeng nodded vigorously and said emphatically, "Really..."

His eyes fell on Guan Hongfeng's left hand, and the next moment Zuo Ming stretched out his hand and squeezed Guan Hongfeng's upper arm. As expected, he heard Guan Hongfeng gasping in pain.

"What are you doing to lie to me?"

Guan Hongfeng hurriedly looked at Zuo Ming's expression, but Zuo Ming walked straight ahead without looking at him.Guan Hongfeng quickly explained: "I'm afraid you're worried."

"Heh." Zuo Ming pushed open the door and went in first, Guan Hongfeng quickly followed and closed the door.

"Angry?"

"What's there to be angry about?" Zuo Ming was indeed not angry, but he didn't understand why Guan Hongfeng asked such a question. Many times, seeing his expression turned cold, he asked him if he was angry or unhappy. Where did such a big man come from? So emotional, so awkward.

Taking out the wound medicine and bandages, Zuo Ming sat at the table, and Guan Hongfeng sat beside him consciously, and lifted up his clothes, revealing the casually bandaged wound on his upper arm.

Untiing the tied cloth, one can see a finger-length knife wound, the blood has clotted a deep red shallow groove, and the flesh on both sides is red and swollen, turning white.

Because Guan Hongfeng rushed back in a hurry, he only did a simple treatment. It looked serious, but in fact it was just a cut of the flesh.

"Then no genius doctor will help you." Zuo Ming said suddenly after disinfecting Guan Hongfeng's wound.

Guan Hongfeng smiled lightly and said in a low voice, "I'm in a hurry to come back."

"Why..."

"I'm afraid you're worried."

It was this sentence again, as I said just now, Zuo Ming looked up at Guan Hongfeng, but did not answer, Guan Hongfeng continued: "I promised you that I would come back after three o'clock. Since I broke my promise, you must be worried."

Sprinkled the wound medicine, Zuo Ming took a bandage and bandaged Guan Hongfeng.Zuo Ming didn't speak, Guan Hongfeng didn't speak, the room fell into silence for a while, Guan Hongfeng looked at Zuo Ming's hair and heard his soft breathing.

After the bandage was done, Zuo Ming realized that he didn't have any scissors, and frowned. There seemed to be no scissors in Huai Gu's room. Zuo Ming hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and bit the bandage, and it could be torn apart with a single bite.

Feeling Zuo Ming's breath on his arms, Guan Hongfeng couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"What?" Zuo Ming asked when he raised his head after bandaging, and met Shangguan Hongfeng's deep gaze.

"Nothing." Reluctantly putting down his sleeves, Guan Hongfeng reached for the kettle on the table, lowering his eyes to hide the emotion in his eyes.

He grabbed the kettle and poured a glass of water for Guan Hongfeng, Zuo Ming stood up and said "I'll get you something to eat" before walking out.

Guan Hongfeng, who was planning to take a break, did not stop him, and sat quietly in the room waiting.

On the other side, Chen Ke walked into Xu Qingfeng's room. Xu Qingfeng just sat up and was still rubbing his eyes in bewilderment on the bed.Seeing Chen Ke coming in, he called out "Wang Wang" as a greeting.

It sounded like a dog barking.Chen Ke lowered the corner of his mouth, although Xu Qingfeng's change in addressing him showed his progress.

But Chen Ke still hopes that Xu Qingfeng can call him "Prince" like ordinary people, or call him by his name.

When Chen Ke walked to the bed, Xu Qingfeng pushed himself up and rubbed against Chen Ke.

"Are you still asleep?"

"Hmm." Xu Qingfeng shook his head.

Seeing Xu Qingfeng's face rolling on his stomach, Chen Ke pushed him away amusedly, "Go clean your face with Grandpa Quan."

Xu Qingfeng got out of bed, put on his shoes, Chen Ke put his coat on for him, watched him follow Eunuch Quan, called someone to bring breakfast, and sent someone to Dr. Huang to express his willingness to see a doctor tomorrow.For this reason, Chen Ke's planned trip to Wushan may have to be postponed for a few more days.

Unexpectedly, after noon, Divine Doctor Yin came to the inn.

"Cao Min respectfully pays homage to the prince."

"Old Mr. Yin, please hurry up." Chen Ke showed enough respect for Yin's genius doctor, "Since my palace is already in the Jianghu, I don't care about etiquette."

Yin Shigong laughed and stroked his beard subconsciously.Yin Shigong is not tall, and he is a little hunchback in his old age, but he looks very healthy, and despite the turmoil all night, he is still full of energy.Coupled with a gray cloth robe, it feels a bit fairy-like.

"This old man met Guan Shiwei once a few years ago, and he said at that time that if this young man is a hero, he will definitely do something, and now he is under King Ren's command.

Although surprised, Yin has always had something to say, thinking that King Ren must be a man who knows people and handles tasks well. If there is no excellence, Guard Guan will definitely not enter the officialdom. "

"Old Mr. Yin is overrated."

Yin Shi respectfully waved his hand, and stopped talking politely, "I came here specially today because I have something to say to the lord, now that the new emperor is on the throne, the situation seems to be stable, but the northwest has been invaded by foreign races for years, and the people have long been in dire straits.

Don't say that the rivers and lakes are far away from the temple, and don't blame the old man for talking too much. I don't understand the affairs of the court, but I still hope that the prince can visit more to see what kind of life the people have lived in recent years. "

Chen Ke felt a little unhappy, but Yin Shigong went on to say: "Although we are from the Jianghu, we are different from the ordinary people. Some people have the Jianghu, and some have a family and country. The world is so big, we only seek family An, being in Jianghu, we know some things no slower than the imperial court or less than the imperial court. It has been several years since the central people turned into a demon cult and stepped into the Central Plains, and I am afraid that there will be a resurgence soon.

——I heard a laugh saying that Guan Shiwei once said that he could join King Ren's family. Although Yin is not talented, he can also see that you are not a person who is trapped in the capital and restricted by heaven and earth. If there is any request in the future, Yin will definitely Don't hesitate to die, and return these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to a quiet and wide mountain and river! "
