Horse on the World

Chapter 674 Live to see people, die to see corpses

"After receiving the express report from Chongxian County, the Overwatch Council reacted immediately. While secretly ordering the local branches to enter the highest combat level, they organized manpower and rushed to Chongxian County to pass the inspection. All the guards of the Overwatch Council here have died for more than five days. " Li Zonghua whispered.

"What a quick response!" Li Qing sneered: "Five days, five days later you will find out, and You Xuzhi was the first to find out, your Overwatch Council is really good now!"

Li Zonghua was speechless.

"My lord, Lord Lu and General Yang are here!" Li Gan stepped into the door and reported.

"Let them in!"

The dusty Lu Yiming and Yang Yidao stepped into the door. Yang Yidao was a general on horseback. He was limping, with his hands on his waist, his face showing pain.

"My lord!" The two bowed their hands together.

"Forget it, you've worked hard too, sit down!" Li Qing pointed to the chairs on both sides.

"My lord, Dingzhou is under martial law right now, and he brought his family with him, so he can't go far!" Lu Yiming said.

Li Qing shook his head, "It's been five days, and five days is enough for him to go far! Not only Dingzhou, Mingfa Mansion has reported to all the states it belongs to, and publicly arrested Shang Haibo!"

"Public arrest?" Lu Yiming was taken aback.

"Right now, there are only two possibilities!" Li Qing said.

"First, Shang Haibo colluded with outsiders. He had conspired to flee a long time ago. Yiming, you know Shang Haibo well. If you didn't have a thorough layout, you would have thought of all the possibilities and planned every step. How could he It would be such an adventure! More than a dozen high-powered Overwatch Council masters were killed silently, and even sent someone to pretend to be them and deceive them here for several days, hehe!"

"The second possibility is that someone hijacked him. The Overwatch Council can sneak here without noticing, kill someone, and then take away Shang Haibo's family. The back road is all arranged? In five days, I am afraid that he will no longer be in Dingzhou. Only public arrests will be made!"

Everyone in the room gasped. Li Qing's tone showed that he had no confidence in catching Shang Haibo back.

"If Shang Haibo wanted to flee, where would he flee? If someone came to rob him, who would rob him? What's the benefit of robbing a former high-ranking official who has been deposed by Dingzhou?" Yang Yidao was puzzled. asked.

"Shang Haibo is a great treasure in itself!" Li Qing said in a low voice, "Aside from his own intelligence, just because he knows the core secrets of our Dingzhou can make many people take risks."

"I should have killed him with one knife!" Yang Yidao said angrily.

Everyone in the room was silent. He Mian Shang Haibo's death penalty was Li Qing's original decision. If he said it now, he would undoubtedly be blaming Li Qing.

Li Qing was also speechless.The atmosphere in the room was a little frozen, and Yang Yidao also realized that he had slipped his words, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

"Actually, my lord said that Shang Haibo can go to a limited number of places!" Lu Yiming broke the dullness and said, "One is King Ning of the South, and the other is Luoyang Tianqi's side. Apart from these two places, he has nowhere to go." There is no way to go. We only need to guard the checkpoints leading to these two places, and we can naturally block his way. Then slowly arrest him. He is not alone, but has his wife, son and family. The goal is obvious. "

"That's right. Some time ago, there was information from Luoyang that Yuan Fang had a big operation against Dingzhou. So is this big operation the same thing? Besides, Zhong Ziqi served as the deputy envoy in Dingzhou during this period of time. After staying in Zhouzhou for a long enough time, he also had the opportunity to do this. Although he never left our sight, how could he know that he was deliberately making publicity to attract our attention and let his subordinates do this? "Li Zonghua said. "As long as these two openings are blocked, we will definitely be able to get Shang Haibo back."

"I hope so!" Li Qing said in a low voice: "Order the local officials, the generals of the garrison, and the branches of the Overwatch Council. If they find out that Shang Haibo cannot be brought back alive, then bring his body back. We must never let it fall into the hands of King Ning or Tianqi."

"Yes!" Everyone in the room stood up, awe-inspiringly obeying.

The fast horses immediately rushed to all parties with a letter of order, passing Li Qing's order to all places under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou, and the Overwatch Council was fully mobilized. The branch leader himself cut off at the last moment.

Dingzhou, Taoyuan Xiaozhu, Qingfeng was wielding a small hoe to loosen the soil for melon seedlings in the field. A guard stood by the field and whispered to Qingfeng the news of Shang Haibo's disappearance.

"What did you say, Shang Haibo is missing?" Qingfeng raised his head in astonishment, swung down the small hoe in his hand, but hoeed a melon seedling full of small melons.

"That's right, the dozen or so people who were on duty in the Overwatch Council were all murdered silently!" The guard was obviously gloating, "This time the Overwatch Council has stumbled home, hehe, Miss's The Overwatch Council has now been reduced to the point where people are bullied and slapped in the face, I really don't know how those people are in charge!"

"Shut up! How can you talk nonsense if you don't know the importance!" Qingfeng dropped the hoe, patted the mud on his hands, walked out of the field, and sat under the shade of a tree. The guard quickly brought a cup of tea.

Holding the teacup, Qingfeng looked in the direction of Chong County, his eyes were full of confusion, "How is it possible? Shang Haibo wouldn't just run away? Could it be that someone snatched him away? Who could it be?"

Under the dim light, there was a sleeping person lying on the bed. A tall figure approached him, holding a bag of small white powder in his hand. Incomparably bounced into the nostrils of the sleeping man.

After a while, the person on the bed began to move, slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the top of his head, turned his head in confusion, looked at the person sitting in front of the bed, rolled his eyes a few times, "Are you who?"

The man smiled and said: "Mr. Shang, let's go to Yuan Fang. Although I have seen Mr. Shang a few times from a distance before, it is really delightful to meet him at such a close distance like now!"

Shang Haibo sat up abruptly, the long period of lethargy made his mind a little unclear, but the word Yuan Fang hit his mind like a Jiao Lei, knocking him awake all of a sudden.

"Yuan Fang?" He stared at him suspiciously.

"That's right! It's just me!" Yuan Fang laughed.

"You are so brave, you dare to sneak to Chong County, do you think you are dead?" Shang Haibo gritted his teeth.

Yuan Fang laughed, "Mr. Shang, we are no longer in Chong County. We are far away from Dingzhou now!"

"You, what did you say?" Shang Haibo was shocked.

"I'm offended, Mr. Shang, you've been in a coma for three days!" Yuan Fang bowed his head. "During the time you were asleep, we have been far away from Dingzhou."

Shang Haibo's heart suddenly became turbulent, "What do you want to do? I am just a down-and-out scholar in white clothes, and I have no value to you. You don't even want to get anything from me!"

Yuan Fang said calmly, "Mr. Shang, you are a huge treasure to us. Li Qing is blind to gold and jade, but my lord favors him very much. When he learned that he was in trouble in Dingzhou, Specially ordered me to rush to Dingzhou to save Mr. from suffering."

"Apocalypse?" Shang Haibo stared at Yuan Fang, and suddenly laughed, "Is it really whimsical?"

"Why is it whimsical?" Yuan Fang said gently: "Didn't we already cooperate in the change of Dingzhou years ago? It's a pity that Li Qing was so fateful that he was allowed to escape. We fell short in the beginning, and even more so. Princess Qingcheng died in Huangquan, Mr. Shang, in Li Qing's heart, you have already belonged to us!"

Hearing Yuan Fang mention the Dingzhou Incident, Shang Haibo felt a twinge of pain in his heart, a mistake would cause eternal hatred!
"Yuan Fang, stop dreaming. If I make a mistake once, I will never make a mistake a second time. I advise you and your master not to waste your efforts. Don't think that you can get anything if you catch me. After leaving Dingzhou, I’m afraid it’s still within the commander-in-chief’s control area. The Overwatch Council’s spies are all over the world, and it won’t take long to find you. Even if you escape by chance, don’t expect me to help you. A corpse!" Shang Haibo said indifferently.

Yuan Fang spread his hands: "Mr. Shang, don't be so absolute! First, you don't have to worry about anything. I brought out your wife, son, and even your old family safely. But For the sake of safety, I arranged for them to go another way. Soon, you will be able to reunite with your relatives, so you don't have to worry that your family members will be killed by Li Qing after you arrive in Luoyang. Second, as for whether I can escape Let's go out, hehe, please wait and see, if the Dingzhou spy is still in charge of that female fox, I really have to be careful and walk on thin ice, but now, with their few pieces of material, I, Yuan Fang, really haven't caught them. Take it to heart!"

"Are you threatening me again?" Shang Haibo sneered, "Threatening me with the safety of my family? Then you made a mistake!"

Yuan Fang shook his head and said: "Mr. Shang, you are the next chief assistant candidate appointed by His Majesty, how dare I threaten the safety of your son and wife, don't worry, I will definitely bring them safely to Luoyang, where are they going?" , you can naturally know that everything I say now is true."

"Shoufu?" Shang Haibo was surprised, "Yuan Fang, you are really talking nonsense!"

Yuan Fang said sternly: "Mr. Shang, to tell you the truth, my chief assistant, Mr. Chen Xiyan, is seriously ill and is about to die, and Princess Qingcheng has also solemnly recommended you to His Majesty before, and Mr. Shang has assisted you all these years. Li Qing conquered such a large territory and earned such a large family business. His majesty admired this plan very much. Otherwise, I, Yuan Fangdang, who is the commander of Fang Si, would have taken such a big risk to sneak into Dingzhou to take the lead. Are you going back, sir?"

Shang Haibo was shocked in his heart, but he was also faintly proud. He was no longer the obscure and down-and-out scholar he was back then, but became famous all over the world.

"Go back and tell your master, don't waste your time, I will not serve him, Dingzhou is like my child, how can I help you deal with my child?" Shang Haibo laughed.

"Really, maybe Li Qing doesn't think so!" Yuan Fang smiled and stood up, "Mr. Shang, rest, it's absolutely safe here, you won't be disturbed!"

Shang Haibo sneered, these words are naturally telling himself not to waste time thinking about running away or doing something else, he is not that stupid, to do such thankless things, now, he can only sit and wait for the Dingzhou Supervisory Council I found myself, but I don't know what's going on in Dingzhou now!
