The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 824 Ming Yu Goes to the Northwest (4)
After being settled down, Xiao Mingyu asked someone to take her greeting card to the Dudu Mansion, and at the same time asked the person in charge of Bianzhou to speak.Xiao Mingyu was eager to learn about the local situation, especially Zhou Gan's.When they entered the city gate, they had already inquired, but there was no news about Zhou Qian. Many people had already determined that Zhou Qian had died on the grassland.But Liu Changqing still did not give up searching.Liu Changqing contacted Xiliang through private means, but no one there captured Zhou Gan and his party.I didn't see Zhou Gan's body, so it is very likely that Zhou Gan and the others lost their way on the vast grassland in order to escape.The grassland is so big, without someone familiar with the terrain to lead the way, getting lost is a perfectly normal thing.Fortunately, it is late spring and early summer, as long as you know how to hunt, you don't have to worry about starving to death.The only thing to worry about is whether Zhou Gan and the others have enough salt, whether they have enough horses, and whether they can find their way back.

Liu Changqing had reported these news to Emperor Jing Fu long ago, which is why Emperor Jing Fu never made an order to deal with Liu Changqing.However, there have been voices in the court that Liu Changqing will be dismissed and investigated.

Because of the disappearance of King Ning and Zhou Gan, Bianzhou was in chaos for a while.Fortunately, Liu Changqing suppressed the chaos.Xiliang was also restless. Taking advantage of the fire in Liu Changqing's backyard, he attacked several times, but each time they returned without success.Although Liu Changqing was unable to organize a large-scale counterattack, he was able to defend the city at any rate, and he had no faults and merits.At least compared to the people who lost three cities before, Liu Changqing is still good.

Liu Changqing is in a state of desperation, Zhou Qian is missing, and the people below are unstable.Without Zhou Gan, the Ministry of Household Affairs has also been arguing about food and grass many times.When Zhou Gan was there, Liu Changqing hardly had to care about food and grass.It has to be said that during those years in Zhongzhou, Zhou Qian was thoroughly trained in handling logistics.Zhou Gan is indeed a good hand in logistics, almost perfect.

Now that Zhou Gan is missing, Liu Changqing has to worry about all these things.The workload suddenly doubled.Sleeping less than two hours a day, Liu Changqing seemed to be five or six years older in a short period of time.

The personal soldiers sent Xiao Mingyu's greeting card, Liu Changqing opened it and looked, and his head suddenly became dizzy.The news that Xiao Mingyu was coming to the Northwest was heard by Liu Changqing from various sources when Xiao Mingyu left Beijing.Liu Changqing resolutely opposed this, and even specially wrote a letter back to the capital, to the Han family, to the Han family, and asked the Han family to stop Xiao Mingyu.At the same time, he wrote a letter to Emperor Jing Fu, not daring to complain, but only said that it was inappropriate for Xiao Mingyu to come here.This is a place where wars are fought, and women and children are definitely not allowed to come here.It's a pity that his opinions were all ignored, because Xiao Mingyu had already set off, and no one could change Xiao Mingyu's decision.Did not see the emperor compromised.Let Liu Changqing understand Xiao Mingyu's mood.After all, Zhou Qian disappeared, Xiao Mingyu was the most worried and helpless.If Zhou Qian is really gone, their orphans and widows will be able to see Zhou Qian for the last time at least.

Liu Changqing hoped that Xiao Mingyu would come later, if possible later.Unexpectedly, Xiao Mingyu still rushed over.

Liu Changqing rubbed the center of his brows, Xiao Mingyu is here, he has to go out to meet him no matter whether it is business or private.Not only that, but someone had to be arranged to ensure the safety of Xiao Mingyu and the child.Although Bianzhou is controlled by the army, in fact, this place is very chaotic, and various forces are mixed in it.There are many people who are holding back.Under such circumstances, Liu Changqing would naturally worry about Xiao Mingyu's safety, and also take responsibility for Xiao Mingyu's safety.In short, Liu Changqing was very upset, Xiao Mingyu came here purely to cause trouble for him.

Xiao Mingyu came to Dudu's Mansion dressed in plain clothes.I met Liu Changqing in the flower hall.

Xiao Mingyu's expression was indifferent, "I've met Commander Liu."

Liu Changqing frowned, "Ming Yu, are you holding grudges against me? Otherwise, why are you so divided?"

Xiao Mingyu smiled, "Excuse me, Commander, is there any news from His Royal Highness Prince Ning?"

"Not yet." Liu Changqing sighed.

Xiao Mingyu said coldly, "Over there in the capital, many people believe that His Royal Highness King Ning is more dangerous than good. Then I want to ask Governor Liu, are you too?"

"Of course not, I have been sending people out to search. It is very likely that King Ning and his party got lost on the grassland. Because at least so far, no one in Xiliang has any news about King Ning."

Xiao Mingyu frowned, "Can I get it back?"

"I'll definitely get it back. Mingyu, you shouldn't be here."

"I'll wait for him, whether he's alive or dead. Anyway, since I'm here, Governor Liu don't expect me to leave here before King Ning comes back." Xiao Mingyu said firmly.

Liu Changqing frowned, "Okay, since you're here, settle down. Where do you live now, I will arrange for you to live in the Dudu Mansion. It will be safer."

"No, I have a place to live here. I can't afford to live in such a vicious place as the Dudu's Mansion." Xiao Mingyu blessed his body, said goodbye and left.

Liu Changqing frowned all the time, called someone to come over, and ordered them to go down, follow Xiao Mingyu and his party, and see clearly where they lived.Then send someone to protect that place.The soldiers lead down.

Once Xiao Mingyu came to Bianzhou, he had to go out every day, wandering aimlessly.This has greatly increased the difficulty of the protection task of the guards.Moreover, Xiao Mingyu always dressed in men's clothes when he went out, and walked casually on the street, which made it even more difficult.Many soldiers complained, why don't they dress up in women's clothing and sit in a carriage, so that they only need to follow the carriage.The task is simple and easy.

Xiao Mingyu knew that Liu Changqing had sent someone to protect him, but Xiao Mingyu didn't appreciate it, and just pretended that he didn't know anything.After three days, Xiao Mingyu had a general understanding of Bianzhou.It's just that Zhou Qian still has no news.

A few hundred miles away from Bianzhou, Zhou Gan led an unorganized team of more than ten people, prostrate in the grass.Holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, everyone has a beard and dirty clothes.The horses are gone, the cattle and sheep are gone, and now they want to go back to the frontier state, they can only rob the herdsmen.

This is a very small tribe, and Zhou Qian wondered if there were a hundred people in this small tribe.Because of the war in Xiliang, all young and middle-aged people were smoked.Only women, children and elderly men with handicapped legs remained.Zhou Gan and his subordinates are waiting for the opportunity. They need food, horses, salt and tea.As long as they have these supplies, they can return to Bianzhou City smoothly.

Being chased by the enemy and running for thousands of miles, he experienced encounters, wheel battles, and ambushes on the way, and finally escaped the enemy's pursuit.Although there were gaps in the weapons, and even though the horses were killed and killed, Zhou Gan always believed that they could return to Bianzhou City smoothly.As for the revenge this time, he will avenge it sooner or later.

As the sky gradually darkened, the herdsmen had already lit a fire and prepared to cook today's dinner.At this time, everyone was extremely relaxed, and the vigilance against the outside world was also relaxed because of the aroma of the food.Besides, this place is originally remote, and the aquatic plants are not abundant, so few people usually come here.If it weren't for the males in the tribe being transferred, they wouldn't be on the alert every day.
