The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 142
Jin Ming came back from patrol and came to look for You Zhiqing to see if there was anything he could do to help, but he didn't expect to see Yan Qing.

In the past few days, Zeng Chengwen was in charge of the affairs in the city, while Yan Qing led people to patrol around Yu Huai.

One is to search and rescue people in the surrounding towns, and the other is to prevent bandits from making a comeback.

After she brought Lu Ningzhi back to You Zhiqing that day, she went out the next day, and this was the first time she came back.

As soon as she came back, she came to see Lu Ningzhi. It can be seen that she was not as indifferent or even ruthless to this child as she had shown that day.

"The kid is smart and a quick learner."

Jin Ming approached and took the initiative to talk about Lu Ningzhi's recent situation with Yan Qing, "Uncle likes this child very much. I heard that the child's parents and relatives are gone. I want to accept him as a disciple and take him back to Jicheng."

"Hanging the pot to help the world, cure diseases and save lives, it's very good."

Yan Qing looked at Lu Ningzhi, who was extremely busy, and said, "Doctor You has a good relationship with City Lord Yuan, and the household registration is also easy to deal with."

After watching for a while, Yan Qing looked away, intending to leave, but was stopped by Jin Ming again.

"Since General Yan cares so much about this child, he asked his uncle to take him with him, and even thought about his future. Why did he speak so directly and heartlessly that day?"

After all, Jin Ming asked the question that he hadn't figured out after thinking about it for several days, "Aren't you afraid that he won't be able to bear this blow, and are you really going to commit suicide?"

"That's the truth. Even if you don't talk about it at the time and coax him for a while, he will naturally know when he returns to the city. Instead of letting him go all the way with hope, only to find that it was nothing when he returned to the city, it is better to start Just tell him the truth."

As Yan Qing said, his eyes suddenly turned to Lu Ningzhi, "I don't expect much, and when I fall, I won't be in so much pain that I'd rather die."

At that moment, Jin Ming clearly felt that although Yan Qing looked at Lu Ningzhi, his eyes were extremely empty, as if he was looking at another person through Lu Ningzhi.

But before he could take a closer look, Yan Qing withdrew his gaze, and said, "Besides, he's not as fragile as you think."

In this regard, Jin Ming, who witnessed Lu Ningzhi becoming more and more proficient in treating diseases and saving lives under You Zhiqing's teaching, was deeply convinced.

He thought it would take a long time for Lu Ningzhi to recover from such a big blow.

But he never expected that Lu Ningzhi woke up, said a few words to You Zhiqing, and soon became You Zhiqing's right-hand man, running around every day, as if he had endless energy.

Just as Jin Ming was thinking about Lu Ningzhi's changes in the past few days, he suddenly heard Yan Qing ask: "Do you still remember the coat that covered the female corpse that day?"

Jin Ming thought for a moment and nodded.

If he guessed correctly, the coat on the female corpse should belong to Lu Ningzhi.

"If it was you, who had never killed anyone, and you had to kill her while lying naked in front of you, looking straight at you, what would you do?"

Yan Qing asked again.

This question made Jin Ming feel uncomfortable, but he also thought about it seriously: "I will probably close my eyes, or cover this person's face..."

Having said that, Jin Ming paused, looked at Yan Qing's meaningful eyes, and looked at Lu Ningzhi thoughtfully.

Lu Ningzhi was not short, his outer shirt was enough to cover the female corpse, but he covered the part where the two peaks were down.

That doesn't fit the mindset of a man who is clearly well-educated and murders for the first time.

It was also because he did not completely cover up the naked body of the deceased, so there was a follow-up of Yan Qing covering the body for the deceased, and only then did he find out that the texture of the lapel collar was not right, thus discovering the mystery he hid in the lapel.

This child, if he hadn't guessed that the bandit would have such a trick, or he had improvised and left these things under the bandit's nose without leaving a trace.

No matter which one it is, it is obviously not something that a person with poor psychological quality can accomplish.

At this point, Jin Ming suddenly realized that his view of Lu Ningzhi was too one-sided.

In other words, under the confusion of his young, obedient appearance and miserable life experience, he never thought that a child could protect himself from the bandits and have a certain freedom, even a certain power, be able to To get the map of Lei Gongzhai and the list of people who were betrayed, and to quietly leave these information in the eyes of the bandits, what a powerful person he must be.

After thinking this through, looking at Lu Ningzhi again, Jin Ming can no longer treat him as an ordinary child.

He even felt that Lu Ningzhi was just studying medicine with You Zhiqing, and that he was a bit overqualified.

But after thinking about it, for Lu Ningzhi, this seems to be the best way out.

And this way out...

Jin Ming looked at Yan Qing's leaving back in a blink of an eye, and suddenly remembered her empty eyes just now.

Is it possible that the person she looked at through Lu Ningzhi just now is herself?
That's why she cared so much about Lu Ningzhi?
It's a pity that he is destined not to get answers to these questions, but he has a deeper understanding of the saying "a person should not be judged by his appearance".

Yan Qing is one, and now Lu Ningzhi is the second.

Why do children nowadays have more thoughts than one?
Jin Ming was puzzled, but completely forgot that he was not a few years older than them.

After patrolling inside and outside the city for a few days, Jin Ming was transferred to help repair the houses, and the number of guards in the city was also reduced a lot.

The bandits in Leigong Mountain were afraid of being beaten. After a few days, not to mention seeking revenge, there was no one who came here to check the situation.

Without being distracted from suppressing bandits, Yu Huai's reconstruction work went smoothly.

The search and rescue reconstruction work around Yuhuai is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

At the beginning of December, before the cold wind came down, Yu Huai's disease had been basically brought under control, and some of them had even recovered and were able to go outside to help with errands.

Yan Qing also received the evidence collected by Yan Qi that the Jiangmen and Huailin government colluded with the bandits, and ten days after giving the things to Meng Shulan, he received Meng Shulan's reply.

It was said that the matter had been reported to the imperial court, and the emperor was furious. Wen Zhehan, who was originally scheduled to join the soldiers and horses of Dongjiang in Lausanne City, and then set off from Lausanne City to deal with the affairs of southern Xinjiang along the way, also temporarily diverted to Xuzhou, and transferred troops from Xuzhou to the south. , went straight to Jiangmen, and cooperated with Wang Qinkeli, the imperial envoy dispatched before, to take control of Jiangmen.

The letter also said that the emperor had something to deliver to Yan Qing, and the person who announced the decree had already set off from Jicheng, and it was estimated that they would arrive in Yuhuai at the same time as Meng Shulan in mid-December.

On December [-], Meng Shulan's team from Xijiang arrived in Yuhuai smoothly and joined Yan Qing and others.

Two days later, after Yan Qing handed over Yu Huai's affairs to Meng Shulan, the person sent by the emperor to proclaim the decree was long overdue.
