Chapter 544 Angel
Princess Yiguang looked at ten lines at a glance, and her complexion became more and more ugly.

"Where's the messenger?" She squeezed the words between her teeth.

Lu Yulong looked ashamed.

"Returning to Your Highness, the child is reckless by nature. He was so angry that he couldn't ask the sender about the content of the secret letter, so he killed the sender on the spot."

"However, he quickly realized that he had done something bad on the spur of the moment, so he used lime and other strict anti-corrosion measures on the body, and then buried it in a hidden place."

"Little General Lu Ping'an, right?" Princess Yiguang nodded, "Not a bad guy."

She didn't mean to blame Lu Pingan at all.

"What do you call a young man who is not impulsive? If this kind of thing happened to Bengong when he was young, he would have to kill someone to vent his anger. Moreover, it is very valuable for a young general to know how to take remedial measures after he is in the army."

"The future of such young people is immeasurable."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment." Lu Yulong heaved a sigh of relief.

"Qing'er," Princess Yiguang turned to her grandson, "I'll find a few people to go with General Lu to dig out the corpse. We must find out his family and background."

She sneered, "I want to see which unworthy descendant dares to harm the people of Yunchui by foreign thieves."

"Grandson knows." Huo Qing gritted his teeth and replied.

He also just read the secret letter, and he was also trembling with anger.

cough.

Lu Yulong coughed.

"Your Highness, apart from the secret letter, I have one more thing to report."

"Say!"

Lu Yulong straightened out his thoughts.

"Your Highness, the weather is getting warmer soon, and the wind from the East China Sea will soon blow from the Huihai Sea to the shore. The Japanese pirates in the Sishan Islands are already ready to move. It won't be long before they try to land again."

"As the navy of the empire, Donghai Barrier should be on the front line against the Japanese pirates, but now the main commander, General Lu Fu, has not returned, and the hearts of the fleets are floating when there is no leader among the dragons."

He looked at Princess Yiguang sincerely.

"His Highness is also a general who has made numerous military exploits. He knows that in order to win the battle, the right time, place and people are indispensable. Today's East China Sea barrier may not be conducive to fighting Japanese pirates."

Speaking of this, Lu Yulong hesitated for a moment.

"I wonder if Your Highness knows when my General Lu will be able to return to the East China Sea barrier?"

"This..." Princess Yiguang pondered for a while, "Frankly speaking, I don't know either."

She glanced at Liu Wan who had been sipping tea beside her, and she didn't shy away from it.

"General Lu has been very effective in commanding the East China Sea for more than ten years. Although there are occasional mistakes and some careful thinking, he is still a rare good general."

"It's just that His Majesty is detaining him now. If His Majesty doesn't let go, the others can only worry."

"As for Your Majesty, in fact, I haven't seen him for some time."

Speaking of this, Princess Yiguang glanced at the secret letter in Huo Qing's hand, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

"In addition, it depends on whether he has any relationship with Japanese pirates. If not, it's okay to say; if so, even if His Majesty let him go, I will take his head off even if I risk my life."

Lu Yulong didn't dare to say more, but just nodded.

"Secretizing foreign enemies is a crime worthy of death. Your Highness understands what you mean."

"Very good." Princess Yiguang nodded in satisfaction.

"As for the East China Sea barrier, is it true that your fleets will only eat and not fight when the general of the legion is not here?"

"Come, come, report the names of those captains who can't fight to Ben Gong. No matter how much food Yun Chui has, he will never raise rice worms like this."

Lu Yulong's face turned red and white.

"Return to Your Highness," he stammered, "Of course our ships will fight on their own."

It's just that there are too many fleets. If there is no unified command, whoever attacks the stronghold of pirates in the Sishan Islands or guards the sea outside Huayang County to block people will become a mess.

Fighters are fleeting, so we have to guard against them.

Princess Yiguang laughed, a little disapprovingly.

"The war opportunity is indeed fleeting, so the general who can catch the war opportunity in time is a good general. With so many generals in the East China Sea barrier, it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed. It is just a good time to distinguish between the good and the bad during this war."

"In the future, those who are capable will go up and those who are inferior will go down. It is also a good thing for you front-line generals who risk their lives to fight and make meritorious deeds."

Lu Yulong was sweating profusely, so he shouldn't say anything for a while.

Seeing his embarrassment, Princess Yiguang couldn't help laughing happily.

"I'm just joking."

"You don't have to worry about these things. Since I already know the situation, I will definitely find a way to solve it. After you find the body, go directly back to Pinghai County to train and prepare for the battle."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Yulong heaved a sigh of relief.

Guangxin County, County Governor's Mansion.

County guard Qin Pengju has repeatedly warned himself to be prudent, serious, and neither humble nor overbearing.

However, the slightly raised corners of his mouth still inadvertently revealed the pride in his heart.

Qin Pengju is happy and proud.

No matter which dynasty or generation it is in, the governor of the county can be regarded as a big official of the frontier, but it is usually said to be the governor of the ten upper counties.

Sheriffs of low-level counties like them have no human rights, and almost no one will take a second look when walking in Xingji City.

However, the situation in Guangxin County may be very different now.

"My lord," a guard guarding the gate hurried in, "the angel has arrived in the northern suburbs and is about to enter the city. We..."

"What are you panicking about? It's just an angel. When it comes, it will come." Qin Pengju raised his hand indifferently, "What are you going to do, don't make a fuss."

The guards and the clerk next to him stared in disbelief.

They dawdled for a while, and seeing that Qin Pengju was still sitting on the Diaoyutai, he left with a strange expression on his face.

With the imperial edict, the two angels almost ran to the death of several horses before arriving at the legendary Guangxin County.

Soon, they were taken aback.

Is this really an inferior county?

The post road is wide and large, and the roadside villages are connected one by one. The number of caravans and pedestrians on the road seems to be more than that of the neighboring counties in the north.

When they arrived at Nanshu City, they were even more stunned when they saw the brand new and tall city walls.

Huang Angel's tone was a bit sour, "Look at the height of this city wall, it is indeed located in a war-torn frontier."

Angel Li was very angry, "Eunuch Huang, why don't you check its length?"

The size of Nanshu City can be estimated based on the length of the city wall, and it is estimated that many county government offices in medium-sized counties would feel ashamed.

"Maybe it's just a casual crowd?" Lao Huang still insisted, "Maybe the city wall is empty, and there are not many people."

Angel Li rolled his eyes and ignored him.

The two entered the city.

Looking left and right, Angel Huang blushed.

There are straight and flat streets with pedestrians coming and going.

There are houses on both sides of the street, restaurants and teahouses, and countless people go in and out of them.

Everywhere looks rich and healthy.

"It's unreasonable," Angel Huang quickly shifted his companion's attention, "It's just a low-level county, and the angel came to visit, but the county guard didn't come to welcome us?"

Angel Li also frowned a little, and couldn't wait any longer before asking a passerby, and then found the direction.

Nanshu City occupies a vast area, and it took them a while to finally arrive at the Sheriff's Mansion.

The two looked at each other, their faces were a little strange.

Compared with the colorful and tall buildings on the road, the Sheriff's Mansion in front of me is a bit old and dilapidated.

Qin Pengju greeted him hahaha, "You two angels, I'm far away from welcoming you, hurry up and invite me inside!"

He pretended to explain: "One year's plan lies in the spring. Recently, there are many affairs in the county. I am very busy. I am unable to welcome you two. Please forgive me."

The two looked at each other.

Along the way, they looked at the inside and outside of Nanshu City, and they couldn't help but think highly of this little-known sheriff.

Angel Li even shook his head hastily: "It's not a problem. The governor of the county is sharing the worries of His Majesty, and we are also on duty for His Majesty. It's not that we have to welcome anyone."

Haha.

Qin Pengju laughed heartily, "What Angel Li said is that we are all serving His Majesty."

He said kindly: "The two of you must be tired after driving such a long way to our Guangxin. How about you sit down and have a cup of tea first, and I will immediately have dinner and beds prepared for the two of you. Let’s talk about everything after a good rest.”

"That's not right," Angel Li waved his hand quickly, "Lord Qin, His Majesty's imperial decree is extremely urgent. If I don't deliver it in time, I will be beheaded. I don't know... where does King Ning's family live?"
