Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1332 There is a high probability that he will be beaten to paralysis.

A few days later.

Lu Mingyong traveled day and night and finally arrived at Guiyan City on the border.

But he was so anxious that he did not rush into the city. Instead, he carried a pot of wine and went to his parents' tomb outside the city, where he briefly visited his parents' graves.

It was midsummer, and the grass around the tomb and surroundings had grown tall and lush, but looked a little desolate.

Lu Mingyong poured the wine in front of the tombstone where his parents' names were finally engraved, and briefly explained his living conditions.

"Dad, grandma, Yu'er is very good, the three little nephews are also very cute, and my son will soon be a father."

Concise words, no blabbering, no tears in eyes.

He stood silently for a while and then left the place.

The city where he was born has not been eroded by the wind and sand in the north because of the gift of the mountains. It has always stood among the mountains for thousands of years.

Just the mottled city walls silently tell the history of this city.

There are also old traces on the walls, indicating that this city has experienced wars again and again.

Lu Mingyong didn't sigh too much, and took out his waist card and entered the city smoothly.

Liu Xiaojie came to greet him personally: "The Duke of Yue is here, but the capital already knows the news about Guiyan City?"

Lu Mingyong didn't explain too much, just asked: "How many newspapers have you delivered to the capital recently?"

Liu Xiaojie said: "Tangbao has always sent one copy every ten days, and the official has not increased the number."

Lu Mingyong asked again: "What's the situation with Zhongshu Ling?"

Liu Xiaojie replied: "The wound has almost healed."

Lu Mingyong said no more, just said: "I haven't slept for many days, so I'll go and get some sleep first."

After saying that, Lu Mingyong left.

Liu Xiaojie was left standing there with a stunned look on his face.

The confidant was puzzled: "Why is this Duke of Yue so weird?"

Liu Xiaojie shook his head: "I've been like this since I was a child. I didn't expect that even after nearly 20 years, there hasn't been much change."

"The Duke of Yiyongyue is now a close minister of the Emperor. Stop talking and just cooperate with him in everything."

The confidant nodded in confusion.

Lu Mingyong returned to Yiyong Hou's Mansion after many years of absence. He stood silently at the door for a while, then walked in and found a room to sleep.

No one lives in this mansion permanently, but Changsun Tao still arranged for guards and servants to serve him.

Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone in the city assumed that the house belonged to Changsun Tao. Even the guard Liu Xiaojie did not move into the house that was awarded to the feudal officials by the imperial court.

At this time, Shen Jingyan was living in this house. He was very happy to hear that Lu Mingyong was here.

I just wanted to find my brother-in-law to relieve the boring life at the border, but I was told that Lu Mingyong had gone to bed.

He lost interest and went back to bed and lay down, staring at the tent ceiling boredly: "Oh, it would be great if Duoduo was here."

However, Lu Mingyong didn't sleep for long. Just when Shen Jingyan was about to catch up on his sleep before getting up to eat, Lu Mingyong came to his bed.

Shen Jingyan was so startled that his sleepiness disappeared immediately. He clenched the corner of the quilt and looked at Lu Mingyong nervously: "Brother-in-law, why are you staring at me like this?"

Lu Mingyong reached out and pinched his cheek, looked up and down for a long time, and then let go: "It seems that he can't die even if he's not controlled."

Shen Jingyan rolled his eyes: "You came all the way to Guiyan City just to confirm the situation of your uncle? I really thank you."

Lu Mingyong sat in front of the small table and asked, "You have been coming to the border for so long, what have you gained?"

Shen Jingyan sighed: "The men in the army are very boring and boring."

Lu Mingyong looked at him silently.

Shen Jingyan sighed again: "The days of returning to Yancheng are really boring and boring."

Lu Mingyong still looked at him silently.

Shen Jingyan got out of bed, sat in front of Lu Mingyong, and complained: "You are boring. I really don't know how Zhenli can stand you."

Lu Mingyong poured himself a glass of water: "I don't want you to find it interesting."

Shen Jingyan sat up straight and said seriously: "Before we talk, I would like to ask you what you think of Guiyan City?"

Lu Mingyong squeezed the cup but frowned: "The calm before the storm."

Shen Jingyan asked: "How can you see it?"

Lu Mingyong explained: "When my parents were stationed in Guiyan City in the past, although Guiyan City was unprecedentedly prosperous, this ancient city, which was a mixture of many ethnic groups, was not peaceful."

"But I just walked around and everything was too peaceful. I know Liu Xiaojie. He is a good general, but he is not very outstanding."

"Under his rule, Guiyan City should not be in such a situation, not to mention there are hundreds of thousands of prisoners."

Shen Jingyan said: "I hit the nail on the head. I have not been idle during this period. I have almost figured out the situation in Guiyan City."

"Guiyan City really shouldn't be so peaceful. If something goes wrong, there will be monsters. I'm afraid a storm is coming." Lu Mingyong asked: "What problems do you think may arise?"

Shen Jingyan said: "The biggest hidden danger in Guiyan City is not the official administration or the Northern Qi Dynasty, but the hundreds of thousands of prisoners."

"If we don't solve it, there will be problems sooner or later. But you also know that Guiyan City cannot absorb so many people. These hundreds of thousands of prisoners cannot be digested by Guiyan City alone."

"Now the high walls and buildings that need to be repaired are almost completed. This prisoner must have a place to go, but we can't make the decision. Everything depends on His Majesty's decision."

Lu Mingyong asked: "You have been here for so long and you have come to a well-known conclusion?"

Shen Jingyan shook his head: "Of course not."

As he spoke, Shen Jingyan put his hand directly into Lu Mingyong's cup, dipped it in water and wrote a few names on the table: "These people have a big problem."

Lu Mingyong frowned and put down the cup.

Shen Jingyan wrote the names of a dozen more people: "These people have general problems."

Lu Mingyong thought thoughtfully: "There should be more, right?"

Shen Jingyan nodded: "There are still dozens of people who will have problems soon."

Lu Mingyong said: "Don't tell me, these people have infiltrated into every aspect of Guiyan City from top to bottom."

Shen Jingyan shrugged: "You can say that, but without exception, they are all related to these hundreds of thousands of prisoners."

Lu Mingyong fell into deep thought.

Shen Jingyan asked him, "Do you know about Gu Huaijun?"

Lu Mingyong nodded: "Yes."

Shen Jingyan suddenly raised his eyes: "How did you know? Don't tell me that Liu Xiaojie said it."

Lu Mingyong asked, "What are you curious about?"

Shen Jingyan said: "Looking at you, you must have been running around day and night for a long time. Calculate the distance from the capital to Guiyan City."

"I speculate that when you set out to come to Guiyan City, you had not yet received the news that Gu Huaijun had injured me. You just noticed something was wrong in Guiyan City, so you rushed here without stopping."

"But you didn't have a long talk with General Liu just now. You went to bed directly after meeting Liu Xiaojie."

"If Liu Xiaojie told you that Gu Huaijun hurt me, and you didn't know about it at the time, you should come to me immediately."

"But you went to catch up on your sleep first and didn't come over to check with me immediately. And the first time you saw me, your first reaction was to check whether I was under control."

"There are various signs that you knew in advance that Gu Huaijun was controlled to hurt me."

"Currently, everyone in Guiyan City, except General Liu and me, thinks that Gu Huaijun has rebelled, and does not know that he is being controlled."

"General Liu is not someone who tells secrets casually. Who told you the news?"

"Brother-in-law, what are you hiding?"

Lu Mingyong lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "Analysis of what such a lot of people are doing, could it be that my uncle has forgotten that I am the commander of the Qilin Guard?"

"How is it possible that Gu Huaijun is the only Qilin Guard in Guiyan City?"

In fact, Lu Mingyong did learn about Gu Huaijun from Qilin Guard's special information channel. Although there was no mention of being controlled, it is not difficult to guess.

After all, Divine Doctor Chu once mentioned asking Hexia to lure him to Guiyancheng.

So Shen Jingyan analyzed a lot of things, just one loneliness.

However, Lu Mingyong did have something hidden in his heart, and he was now trying to find a way to confirm the truth of Dr. Chu's words.

He didn't want to reveal too much before finding out the truth.

It was related to Divine Doctor Chu, which meant that it would hurt Yu'er, so he was so cautious.

It's just that the words of Divine Doctor Chu involve too many things, and it will take some time to fully understand them.

During this time, I don’t know what will happen.

After thinking about it, Lu Mingyong decided to return to Beijing in a formal manner and asked his superiors to resolve the matter of the prisoners as soon as possible.

If what Divine Doctor Chu said was true, the master wanted to sacrifice these hundreds of thousands of captives. If there was any change in the captives, he would be unable to sit still and would have to find a way to find a replacement target.

Then, it would only be a matter of time before the fortune teller was brought out.

Seeing that he was worried, Shen Jingyan became more and more determined that he had something to hide.

Lu Mingyong didn't pay much attention to it, and the two people, who had their own thoughts, fell into silence again.

In front of Lu Mingyong, Shen Jingyan did not dare to open or close his mouth and say a "mere", so as to break through Lu Mingyong's inner defense and get the information he wanted.

Because he felt that there was a high probability that his brother-in-law would beat him to paralysis after hearing this.

Lu Mingyong was busy with many things, and Lu Mingyu and the others who were far away in the capital were not idle either. The flower viewing party was finally about to begin.

And a big drama is about to begin.
