Shu Blossoms

Chapter 10 The Prefect's Mansion

The water was shining, the breeze was blowing, and He Li's voice was low and sad in the sound of cicadas.

"At that time, the leader brought those thieves into the room. As soon as they entered the room, they realized that something was wrong and wanted to flee. The leader and others blocked the door and pushed them back, but the leader of the thieves was too strong, and the leader was seriously injured. He, blocking the door with his body, ordered me to shoot arrows."

"The lit arrow shot into the window, and it exploded in an instant. The other brothers were ordered to run away by the leader, and the leader was one step behind, and was blown away by the wave of air"

"Uncle Amu will be fine."

Zheng Wei took a breath, wiped a tear with his sleeve, and said firmly.

He Li was taken aback by her actions, then nodded with a smile, "Yes, the leader is blessed!"

Everyone in the army carried the wound medicine with them, and a few people simply dealt with the wound.

Recently, they have been on the road, and the Zheng family's carriage has dry food and snacks ready at all times. Everyone has distributed some to pad their stomachs, waiting for news from Mu San and the others.

Everyone who fled in terror all night was exhausted and sat on the ground with their eyes closed.

Zheng Wei and the others didn't wait too long before Mu San came back.

"Let's go into the city," Mu San breathed out, "It was said that the city entered the city at night to rob and kill, and the city was closed and searched. I handed over the sign that Liu Weng gave us, and it didn't take long for us to be released."

"We went into the city and turned around. The streets were full of sergeants who were searching, and the wind was very loud. Maybe it was those Xianbei people who were making trouble."

Mu San took a sip of water, ate three or two mouthfuls of dry food, and continued: "I have already told the general guarding the city about the situation of the post house. He has already gone to report to the Qingzhou Prefect's Office. We can go directly to the city."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Qingzhou City was not captured, and it would not be too dangerous.

It may be due to the role of Liu Weng's brand, they were escorted by a small team of officers and soldiers directly to the Qingzhou Prefectural Palace.

Liao Wennan hesitated, she should have left after entering Qingzhou City, but after what happened last night, she felt that it was unwise to leave at this time, and she wanted to find a chance to meet Zheng Wei.

Liu Weng saw her intentions, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Now the situation in the city is unknown, Wen Lang should stay for the time being. First, there is no safer place than the Governor's Mansion, and secondly, it is cheaper to find your brother. ."

Liao Wennan was grateful and thanked Liu Weng for his care.

With a temporary shelter, Liao Wennan also relaxed and looked at the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion.

She remembered that today's Qingzhou City was only half of what it was in the Jin Dynasty. It turned out that the northwest part of Qingzhou City was occupied by today's Dayan.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, Emperor Wu had made a northern expedition to recover the lost land north of Qingzhou, but when the situation was unstable, the foreign enemy was standing, and he was attacked by the enemy on both sides, and almost lost his life.

Today's Qingzhou Governor's Mansion was naturally expanded and renovated on the basis of the Prefect's Mansion, and it has been in less than ten years.

Looking up, the entire gate of the Governor's Mansion has only the three characters of ' Governor's House' on the black gold silk nanwood plaque shining brightly. It has never been carved, and the sergeants on both sides look solemn, making people feel more solemn and bleak.

Liao Wennan was a little surprised. When her son was the prefect of Xiangzhou, she accompanied him.

Although the Prefect's Mansion in Xiangzhou is not magnificent, it is also majestic.

It seems that the situation in Qingzhou is not very optimistic.

Mrs. Zheng and others also noticed the difference, and their expressions were a little serious.

They stopped for a cup of tea at the gate of the Governor's Mansion before someone hurriedly greeted them.

At the beginning was a white-faced scholar with a mustache, about the same age as Steward Zheng, two circles younger than Steward Zheng, and looked a little thin.

The reason why it was so intuitive was that Steward Zheng ran hurriedly behind the scholar, swaying and a little embarrassed.

From a distance, it's hilarious.

"Old lady, Mr. Liu, are you all right?"

Manager Zheng must have heard about the inn, sweating profusely, looking at everyone back and forth, "I heard Mr. Song talk about the attack on the inn as soon as I entered the governor's mansion. I'll be there soon, I can't wait to fly back."

Saying that, he slapped himself with an angry face.

"We're all right, it's these kids who have suffered."

Mrs. Zheng pointed to Amu in the carriage and He Li, who was completely injured.

"It's all my fault, I should leave more people"

Steward Zheng had a guilty look on his face, his face pale.

"Boyong doesn't have to blame himself, no one would have expected this disaster." Mrs. Zheng patted Steward Zheng on the shoulder lightly.

Liu Weng also sighed.

"Song Zaiyan met Mrs. Zheng in the Shishi Mansion." The white-faced scholar bowed slightly and said at the right time, "Everyone who has been exhausted by boats and cars, let's go to the palace to rest first."

"Oh, this is Mr. Song, the staff of the governor's office. Mr. Song is a famous person in Qingzhou, and he is very valued by the governor." Zheng Boyong came back to his senses and followed the introduction.

"Mr. Song is still thoughtful, I just have to worry about it." Zheng Boyong took a step back and gave way.

Mrs. Zheng smiled and nodded her thanks: "Mr. Lao Song is here."

Song Zaiyan hurriedly returned the salute, stepped back, and led everyone into the palace.

"Lord Prefect is busy catching thieves, and has not yet returned to the house. The guest room has been arranged, and the meal has been prepared. You can rest assured."

Song Zaiyan was half a step behind Mrs. Zheng, and explained as she walked, "The doctor in the house is already waiting in the guest room, and if you need it, please tell the servants to let me know."

Song Zaiyan settled down and everyone left in a hurry.

Zheng Boyong stayed and waited in the hall.

Everyone washed and changed clothes and moved to the hall. The meal was already set up. Mrs. Zheng sat on the top and greeted, "Boyong didn't have a meal. Let's eat together."

"As soon as you say it, I'm really hungry."

Zheng Boyong smiled and sat down, "I went to see Chief Amu just now. The trauma has been cleaned and treated with medicine, but I haven't woken up yet. The doctor said that if I can wake up in the past few days, I will have no worries about my life."

"Well, take care of it more these few days, the rest is up to the child's good fortune."

Madam Zheng sighed.

Hearing this, Zheng Wei felt a little down, and after taking a few bites, he hurried to visit Amu.

"What happened in Qingzhou City? Did it go smoothly?"

After everyone left the table, Liu Weng couldn't help asking Zheng Boyong.

Zheng Boyong's face became even heavier when he heard the words, "The warehouse in Qingzhou City was burned!"

"What!" Liu Weng stood up in shock and quickly asked, "Where is the thief so bold?"

After asking what came to mind, he pointed to the north, "Isn't it also made by the Xianbei Yi people?"

"It should be from Dayan." Zheng Boyong nodded.

"I don't know how they sneaked into the city. We sent that batch of goods into the warehouse. Soon after returning to the governor's house, someone came to report that the warehouse was burned."

Zheng Boyong patted his thigh and said angrily, "I suspect that they found the warehouse after following us. It's too careless!"

"Then, that batch of goods has also been burned?" Liu Weng was not reconciled.

Zheng Boyong was silent.

"This is food and military pay!"
