The fourth thousand three hundred and seventy-first chapters
I don’t think about it, but I think of Xiaozhuang, who is not aware of life and death at this time, and the waiter, Too Er and Shui Yijun who are trapped in Maocheng, Qian'er is anxious.
The emotions could not be relieved, so she punched the table, closed her eyes, and slowly let out a breath.
The five knuckles were broken and bleeding.
This heart-wrenching pain calmed her down.
It was so far that she was trapped in self-blame and regret, which was useless.
She tore off a strip of cloth, wrapped the wound on the back of her hand, took a sip of cold tea, and tried to cheer herself up, recalling the military books she had read, and the methods of the emperor's uncle and father who had been influenced by her.
She thought that if the young child and Shui Yijun were trapped in Maocheng like the waiter, she would have to lead the five thousand people.
She must not be timid anymore.
The whole day passed in a calm atmosphere.
In the evening, Xu Qing came back with injuries.
Only seventeen of the twenty imperial guards brought with them came back, and half of them were injured.
Qian'er was shocked.
Xu Qing is the commander of a thousand men, ranked among the General of the Cavalry, and is the highest-ranking person among the five thousand imperial guards and the best martial arts skills.
Qian'er first asked someone to distribute the injury medicine. After Xu Qing treated the wound, he asked him to come and ask.
"Why did you get into trouble with someone?" she asked.
"I met a group of unruly people and had some conflicts." Xu Qing was dejected, "The strange Taoist said that unruly people came from poor mountains and rivers. This place in southern Xinjiang is really a ghost!"
Qian'er frowned: "General Xu, I only ask you to investigate the murderer. How could you conflict with the local village name?"
"Princess, Bei Zhi is indeed going to investigate the murderer. He found a town where the unruly people guarded the door and prevented us from entering. This is clearly a hiding place. Maybe the people in the whole town are all accomplices!"
"The whole town is accomplice? Do you have tangible evidence?"
"Minzhi thinks..."
"Do you think?" Qian'er interrupted him, "General Xu, the investigation of the case requires evidence. Nowadays, there are refugees, bandits, sick people, and rebels everywhere. It is understandable that these people unite and do not let people in."
"But someone saw those murderers entering the town with their own eyes!"
"I said, after finding clues, don't act rashly. Come back and discuss with me first. Why did you fight with the villagers?"
"When the negotiations were made, my brothers couldn't help but quarrel for a while, and then they started fighting... These troublemakers are quite fierce, making me lose three more brothers, this hatred..."
Qian'er said angrily: "General Xu, do you still think you are not wrong? Who dares to have a conflict with the person who is on duty? It must be something excessive you have done! You may not be able to bring it truthfully!"
"Princess, Bei Zhi really didn't do anything, just to enter the town. Those bad guys were tough and the brothers couldn't help but feel angry..."
"Then I ask you, how many villagers have you killed?"
The twenty imperial guards brought with him, including Xu Qing, all had some martial arts skills.
What's more, he was wearing armor and weapons.
Even they were seriously injured, so the villagers' situation could be imagined.
After Xu Qing came back, he only pushed all the mistakes on the villagers, without mentioning their injuries at all. Qian'er knew that the situation would definitely not be light.
