Chapter 153 Uneasy
When Luo Tianbao heard what Pan Hong said was reasonable, he immediately went back to the small courtyard where he lived with him. As a result, he still found nothing after searching everywhere. Pan Hong asked the guard guard again and got the same answer as Luo Tianbao.
After all, Pan Hong had more experience in Jianghu than Luo Tianbao. He carefully checked the inside and outside of the room as well as the doors and windows, and finally frowned.
"Surprisingly, no traces were left behind. This was either done by one of our own people, or the man who stole the manuscript is an expert at this, and his skills are not low."
Luo Tianbao couldn't help but said anxiously after hearing this: "Then what should we do now?"
Pan Hongwei pondered: "Hey, it seems that we can only tell the castle master about this matter, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous if all these efforts are leaked out."
Although Luo Tianbao was afraid of his father's scolding, he thought that this was the only way things could go so far. When he went back with Pan Hong to see Lin Yunfei, the latter's official duties had just come to an end and he was drinking tea there.
Luo Tianbao and the others were quite happy to come.
"Tianbao, why are you here? Why don't you rest more?"
Luo Tianbao felt like a thorn in his back at this moment. He said it was not the case, and it was not the case if he didn't say it. However, after thinking about it at the end, he might not be able to recover the manuscript if he delayed it any longer. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, the child is in trouble."
Lin Yunfei couldn't help being stunned when he heard this: "What happened?"
Luo Tianbao then roughly told what happened. After hearing this, Lin Yunfei slapped the table and stood up from the chair: "Nonsense, why are you telling me such a big thing now!?"
Luo Tianbao was frightened when he heard this, and quickly knelt down to his father: "Dad, calm down, I know I was wrong."
At this time, Pan Hong couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master, please calm down. Young Master didn't mean it. This clearly shows that someone has been planning for a long time. Now is not the time to hold people accountable. I guess the other party hasn't had time yet."
If we leave the city, it may still be too late for us to make amends."
Lin Yunfei's anger subdued a little after hearing this. He looked at Luo Tianbao who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up first. I will settle the score with you later. Now you and Pan Hong quickly pass on my order to blockade various cities."
We are conducting a strict search, but we can only tell the outside world that something is missing from our house, and we cannot say that it is a martial arts secret book, just in case someone has evil thoughts again."
Luo Tianbao and others heard this and hurried down to do what they were told. How could the city defenders dare to neglect Lin Yunfei when they heard that something was missing from his home? They immediately sealed the city gate and searched the whole city, but they turned Weining upside down and found nothing. This time Luo Tianbao found nothing.
Tianbao's heart was completely enlightened. Maybe the thief had slipped out of the city. Where could he find him in this big world?
In the end, after struggling all night, Luo Tianbao had to drag his tired body back to the governor's office. Originally, he was prepared to be punished by his father, but when he arrived in the study, he saw Lin Yunfei and a bunch of people discussing something.
He appeared and asked quickly: "Did you get your things back?"
"No..." Luo Tianbao's voice was so low that he could hardly hear him. Unexpectedly, Lin Yunfei did not go into details.
"Forget it, come here first to discuss the military situation with everyone. The rebels have sent troops."
Luo Tianbao couldn't help being secretly surprised when he heard this. He never expected that the rebels would move so quickly. This was much more serious than losing the secret book. Luo Tianbao didn't care about anything else at the time and stepped forward to have a meeting with everyone.
Luo Tianbao understood the basic situation after listening to everyone's explanation. It turned out that Lin Yunfei had sent two groups of people to take over other areas in Jizhou. Ji Baida's journey was relatively smooth, and they basically waited for the wind to fall, but Li Congyun's journey was out of control.
Trouble, the county magistrate of Zhaoyuan refused to surrender and organized troops to defend the city. Li Congyun is now leading the attack, and the nearby Yizhou has also received the news and sent people to support Zhaoyuan. Now the vanguard has crossed the state border. According to
The spies reported that the total number of troops should be no less than one thousand, and this was probably just the beginning. Several nearby states seemed to be gathering troops to encircle Jizhou.
Lin Yunfei and everyone analyzed the situation at hand. Although the situation was critical, it was more or less what everyone had expected. Lin Yunfei felt that he had few troops. If he waited for the troops from various states to gather, there would be only a dead end. The top priority was to defeat Yizhou's troops as soon as possible.
, as long as this road is defeated, the other states will definitely wait and see, and then they will be able to defeat them one by one. This strategy was also approved by most people present.
At the moment, Lin Yunfei was dividing his forces and sent some of his troops to join Li Congyun to fight against the rebels, while Luo Tianbao was left to guard Weining.
"Dad, please take me with you, so that I can have a chance to make meritorious deeds." Luo Tianbao said hurriedly after hearing this.
"I understand your thoughts, Tianbao, but someone has to guard Weining. If I can't come back, the rest will depend on you. Don't let your father be disappointed again." Lin Yunfei patted his son on the shoulder.
He spoke earnestly and sincerely, and when Luo Tianbao heard what his father said, he had no choice but to agree.
In this way, in the afternoon of the same day, Lin Yunfei led his troops to Zhaoyuan to join Li Congyun, while Luo Tianbao and Pan Hong stayed behind to guard Weining. Luo Tianbao could not let go of the manuscript, and under the pretext of hunting down Zhang Lie's remnants, he launched a series of attacks inside and outside Weining City.
After searching several times, unfortunately nothing was found. In the end, he was disheartened. Thanks to Pan Hong's repeated explanations, Luo Tianbao finally came out of his self-blame mood.
Unknowingly, a few days have passed, and battle reports from the front are coming one after another. Ji Baida's journey is going well, and all the southeastern areas of Jizhou have surrendered, while Zhaoyuan County is still in trouble, and Xinzhou's large troops have arrived one after another.
It seemed that a war was going to break out between the two sides in the next few days. Luo Tianbao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy after hearing this. This was the first real big battle since the father and son started fighting, and the result would directly determine the future fate of their father and son.
But worries are worries, Luo Tianbao still tries his best to pretend to be calm on weekdays. After all, he is the leader in Weining City now. If he is also in fear all day long, the people below will be in chaos. He has finished handling his official duties that day.
When he had nothing to do, he happened to think of the old Zhang family who lived next door to the Governor's Yamen. He didn't know what their situation was like now. Luo Tianbao thought that he originally lived next door, so he took only two soldiers to visit.
When the old Zhang family heard that Luo Tianbao had arrived, they were very surprised and hurriedly received him warmly. Luo Tianbao saw that after these few days, the place had become more like a home. Most of the Zhang family were quite afraid of Luo Tianbao, mainly Zhang Lie.
His sister was receiving him. Although it had been several days, Aunt Zhang's face injury was still not healed. Her face was wrapped in white cloth, leaving only her eyes and nose. She looked quite scary, but Luo Tianbao was a martial arts practitioner after all.
We've seen a lot of casualties, so we don't really care.
Luo Tianbao briefly asked about everyone's situation, and Aunt Zhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Thanks to your great blessing, young master, our family has settled down now, but the child Xiaoying is still a little frightened."
"Smiling shadow?"
"That's the child you're going to rescue next time. She's my brother's little daughter. Her full name is Zhang Xiaoying."
"Oh, it's her. How is Miss Zhang doing now?"
