The residence of the prefect of Ningshui.

The prefect of Wei hurried to Dongkuoyuan.

The subordinates outside the wing reported, "General, the prefect of Wei is here."

There was a "hmm" in the room, and Magistrate Wei was taken into the wing.

As soon as he entered the wing, the door was closed from the outside, and most of the light in the room was blocked in an instant. This made the prefect Wei's eyes, which had just come in from the outside, couldn't help but darken.

He subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, and when he put down his sleeves, a tall black figure appeared in front of him.

"Prefect Wei, long time no see!"

When Magistrate Wei heard this voice, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he quickly raised his hands and saluted, "General Liu!"

General Liu glanced at the Magistrate Wei who was completely different from three years ago.

Three years ago, Magistrate Wei was still lean. Today, Magistrate Wei's figure is more than twice as wide. The official uniform is worn on him, and the fat circles around his waist are clearly visible, and along with it Magistrate Wei trembled slightly with nervousness.

General Liu sat back at his desk and asked, "Prefect Wei, how did you do what you were told?"

Magistrate Wei didn't dare to look at General Liu's expression at all. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Back to General Liu, I have sent out all the yamen servants in Ningshui Yamen to search. For the time being... there is no result yet... All the officers and soldiers that the Yamen can send out have also been sent out..."

"Where's Lieutenant Xue?"

Magistrate Wei shrank his head, "I don't know..."

In an instant, a cup filled with hot tea flew towards Magistrate Wei.

Although his body was stupid, his reaction was not slow, but he probably didn't realize that he had gained weight so quickly. Even though he turned slightly, the cup of hot tea still hit his arm, which was so hot that he couldn't help but scream. "His" sound.

Although he received such insults from General Liu, Magistrate Wei did not dare to reply.

He and Captain Xue were both local officials in Ningshui. He was in charge of civil affairs and Captain Xue was in charge of military affairs. They were at the same level. How could they influence Captain Xue? General Liu was in trouble!
"Okay, Governor Wei, I remember it!" After saying that, General Liu stood up angrily and said to the guard outside the door: "Let's go to Captain Xue's mansion!"

How can we search the whole city with only Ningshui Yamen?
He needs Lieutenant Xue to send troops to cooperate.

He already had clues about Qin Shuhuang. Although he hadn't caught anyone yet, he was certain that Qin Shuhuang was in Ningshui City. As long as Captain Xue took action, he could turn Ningshui upside down. If you don't believe it, he would still find her. Don't leave Qin Shuhuang!

Lieutenant Xue was not from the regent.

This man had climbed up the ranks in the army, and later married the daughter of the Guo family, a wealthy Ningshui family, and then gradually worked his way up to the position of Ningshui Captain.

Although Ningshui is a big city in the south, it is still far away from the capital and far from a land of plenty like Luozhou, so the regent does not have full control yet.

As far as he knew, Captain Xue was still considered a neutral faction, and he only needed to win over him to be used by him.

General Liu and his men quickly arrived at Captain Xue's residence.

The Xue family was heavily guarded, and even the gate was guarded by a team of soldiers.

Captain Xue Duwei had just come out of the study room in the front yard when he received a message from the housekeeper.

The old housekeeper looked worried and said: "Master, General Liu is here. He is at the door. He said he wants to see you in person! What should I do?"

Lieutenant Xue has a beautiful beard. Although he is middle-aged, he still looks like a resolute and courageous handsome man.

He sneered and said, "Tell him that I am not at the house and have gone to inspect the surrounding military villages." The old housekeeper immediately responded and left quickly.

As soon as the old housekeeper left, Lieutenant Xue asked Chang Sui beside him, "Where is the person?"

"I was invited to the small study by my subordinates."

"Let's go over now." Captain Xue walked towards the small study at a fast pace.

Luo Chu and Qin Shuhuang were sitting in the small study at the moment.

Qin Shuhuang was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary woman, without even a silver hairpin on her head. She was sitting next to Luo Chu, but she looked at ease. Even though she was wrapped in rags, her overall temperament could not be concealed.

As soon as Captain Xue came in, he saw Luo Chu in green clothes and Qin Shuhuang in ordinary women's clothes.

He did not see Luo Chu salute him like others, and then strode up to Luo Chu, patted Luo Chu on the shoulder hard, and called him by his name with a smile, "Luo Chu!"

Luo Chu didn't object to Captain Xue's actions. Even though he was weak and couldn't bear the force of Captain Xue's slap, he didn't get angry. He just smiled helplessly at Captain Xue.

Captain Xue, who had greeted Luo Chu, glanced at Qin Shuhuang and did not address her. He just saluted Qin Shuhuang.

There was obviously speculation about her identity.

After Qin Shuhuang was taken away from the morning market by Luo Chu, he first went to a residential courtyard and stayed for half an hour, and then transferred to a carriage and entered Xue Mansion through the back door of Xue Mansion. It was not until this time that he met Captain Xue .

Qin Shuhuang's eyes darkened slightly, he did not expect Captain Xue to have friendship with Luo Chu.

Then Captain Xue is a member of the Fourth Prince Ping Wang?

If this were not the case, I am afraid that Captain Xue's soldiers had already entered the city to help General Liu search for people.

Captain Xue ordered people to serve tea and snacks to Luo Chu and Qin Shuhuang.

After a while, the maids of Xue Mansion filed in.

Just from the aroma of the tea, you can tell that this is good tea, and the pastries are exquisite and unique. They are obviously Ningshui's specialty pastries.

In front of Luo Chu, Lieutenant Xue was very casual, "Eat some cushion first, I know you have a strong appetite, and the tea and snacks are good. I will arrange lunch for you later, do you have any preferences?"

When saying this, Lieutenant Xue glanced at Qin Shuhuang.

Luo Chu smiled and said, "It's alright. Lieutenant Xue will just make arrangements."

Captain Xue glared at him dissatisfied when he heard his name, and replied: "Okay, I'll look at the arrangements."

Qin Shuhuang didn't know what Luo Chu was going to do, and she didn't understand Captain Xue either. She didn't take a bite of the refreshments brought by the maids.

Luo Chu caught a glimpse of Qin Shuhuang's movements from the corner of his eye and silently noted them down.

After Luo Chu and Xue Duwei exchanged casual greetings, Xue Duwei said: "I will ask someone to arrange a private room for you to rest, and I will ask you to have a meal in the flower hall later."

After Captain Xue left, Luo Chu walked to Qin Shuhuang and said, "Your Highness, you can rest assured. Captain Xue is an upright and resolute man. He will not play dirty tricks like poisoning. The food in the Xue Mansion is clean. Your Highness, you can rest assured." edible."

Lieutenant Xue may be an acquaintance of Luo Chu, but not Qin Shuhuang. It is impossible for Qin Shuhuang to believe everything Luo Chu said. She said lightly: "Thank you Mr. Luo. I don't know when Mr. Luo can inform me. Commander of the bodyguard?"

Luo Chu frowned, "Your Highness, the regent's people have been chasing you. You and the personal guard commander named Xuan Cang have a greater target and are easier to be discovered. It is better for you two to separate. If you really If you value him, Commander Xuan Cang is smart enough, he will definitely find you when you leave Ningshui City!" (End of Chapter)
