Seeing the group of people using the smoke of the poisonous smoke pills to chop down the unarmed people frantically and fleeing, Mingyi's eyes turned red with hatred, she yelled at the top of her lungs for people to chase them, but in the end she could only watch helplessly. "The Governor has an order, martial law in all directions, and the city gates are closed!" At this moment, an order broke through the smoke and reached her ears, making Mingyi think for a moment that it was her illusion. "The Governor has ordered that martial law be enforced in all directions and the city gates be closed!" When she raised her eyes blankly, there was another sound, and it was closer and clearer. Mingyi looked behind the smoke, and first saw the messenger running with the bright red flag, and then heard the sound of horse hooves. Like thunder, they come in droves from a distance. First, a black and bright horse galloped over. The man on the horse was dressed in bright armor, glowing under the sun. Behind him, the black cloak was hunting in the smoke. His eyebrows were stern, as if a god descended from the sky, coming through the light, and the bright ripples greeted him. When I met his eyes, the corners of them suddenly became slightly wet. Xue Lin reined up his horse in front of the high platform, jumped down, and strode towards Mingyi. Mingyi was already surrounded and left the high platform, staring at him closely with slightly red eyes. He couldn't leave his gaze for a moment. When he walked to her, his hands had already held her shoulders, and he looked her up and down with his eyes, and his voice was soft. Ya asked, "Have you ever been injured?" Mingyi shook her head slightly, "It's just a pity that I let him escape." Her voice was also hoarse. Xue Lin took a deep breath and said, "It's fine if you're not hurt." At this time, the fire and the poisonous smoke pellets had been extinguished, and the people brought by Xue Lin, together with the archers and officers and soldiers here, organized the scene in an orderly manner.
Xu You's outer robe disappeared somewhere, and it was half wet and half dry. He, who always loved beauty, didn't care that his face was stained by black smoke at this moment. He came forward with red eyes and said, "It's been cleaned up. The casualties of the people are all gone." There are twelve people in total, and the injured have been sent to the hospital for treatment!" Xue Lin nodded, "You will arrange the funeral ceremony, and the pension will be generous." Xu You pursed his lips and nodded, turned around, and took a slightly hesitant step before letting out that the person standing behind him turned out to be Pei Qingqing. It's just that her bun is half loose, her hair is wet, and it sticks tightly to her face. There are black stains one after another, which makes her look a little embarrassed. The robe she is wrapped in looks familiar. Isn't it exactly Xu You's? After Xu You and her looked at each other, they rarely choked each other and walked away. Pei Qingqing looked uncomfortable for a moment, turned around and bowed her knees to greet Xue Lin and Mingyi, "I've met the Governor and Madam!" At this time, the few people were really not in the mood to chat, so they simply nodded and forgot about it. Mingyi had been stunned since Xu You reported the number of civilian casualties. Xue Lin glanced at her worriedly and tightened her hands. "Captain!" Lu Zhao came up with a man in his arms, "This man set the fire, and my subordinates chased him all the way to catch him." The man's hands had been cut off from behind his back, and his mouth was tightly restrained by a cloth strip. Lu Zhao presented the token that he had found on his body. Xue Lin and Mingyi's expressions suddenly changed slightly, and they looked at Chu Yanze with dagger-like eyes, "Master Chu, how do you explain this matter?" Chu Yanze recognized the man at this moment and exclaimed, "Peng Yong, why is it you? Are you really the one who set the fire?" "With so many pairs of eyes looking at him, how can he be wronged? What's more, he injured two of my brothers when he escaped." Lu Zhao snorted, grabbed the rope that bound the man's hand and pulled back hard. The man fell to the ground in a panic. Chu Yanze turned to look at Xue Lin and Mingyi in panic, bowed his hands and said, "Director Xue, Mrs. Xue, I am really wronged in this matter. This son actually harbors evil intentions. He must have the intention of driving a wedge between Anxi and the imperial court. He has evil intentions, please ask the Governor to investigate clearly." "Thank you, Mr. Chu, for reminding me. When he enters the torture room of our Anxi Army, it doesn't matter whether his bones are hard or not, or whether he spits out or not, it doesn't matter. You have to walk through it alive first. Let’s talk about purgatory. But before that, I have to ask Mr. Chu to stay in the post house and not go out.” Seeing Chu Yanze’s mouth tightening, Xue Lin didn’t wait for him to speak and said calmly, “That’s right. Don't worry, Mr. Chu, I will write to your majesty and explain the situation." After saying this, he waved his hand lightly, and someone came up, ready to "invite" Mr. Chu back to the post house. "Wait a minute!" Mingyi stretched out her hand to hold his sleeve, and glanced coldly at the man who set the fire on the ground before looking at Chu Yanze, "A Bodhisattva dares to commit murderous deeds right now. He is unforgivable in life and will fall into purgatory after death. , This is all as it should be. But before that, this person should first make amends to the people and their families who died in vain!" Mingyi was obviously talking about the person who set the fire, but her gaze was like a knife, but it fell on Chu Yanze, inch by inch. "Madam, what you said makes sense." Xue Lin replied in a deep voice, glancing at Lu Zhao. Lu Zhao immediately understood and dragged the man away not far away, where the corpses of the people who had just died were temporarily laid to rest. At this time, mournful cries were heard. The man was kicked by Lu Zhao and fell to the ground, pressing the back of his neck and making him kowtow. The people who had just lost their loved ones rushed up and punched and kicked the man. Mingyi watched quietly, and Xue Lin opened her hand that was tightly clenched into a fist little by little. His nails had dug into the palm of her hand, and blood started to flow. She flattened her palms and pressed them against his, "Don't worry, you won't take advantage of him and let him die right now!" "Yes!" Mingyi nodded, "When the interrogation is clear, I want him to be despised in front of the people of Quanbei Pass! If you commit murder for your own selfishness, you will definitely pay the price and harm your blood relatives!" Mingyi bit. When Ya said this, his eyes were as cold as a knife gouging out at Chu Yanze. Although he did not say it clearly, the meaning was very clear.
Chu Yanze clearly had no inhibitions, but at this moment, he still felt a chill all over his body. A chill suddenly rose from the soles of his feet and went straight through his limbs and bones. Xue Lin raised his hand, someone came to "invite" the border patrol officer to return to the post house again, but this time, Mingyi didn't stop him anymore, and she didn't even look at him from the corner of her eyes. Chu Yanze was "invited" to leave, and everything seemed to quiet down. Those sad cries became clearer when they reached her ears. A tear finally slipped from the corner of Mingyi's eyes out of sheer stress, and she raised her hand to wipe it away. Xue Lin's eyes darkened, and she tightened her hand, "I'll take you back first!" "You must be busy with a lot of things right now. I'll just go back by myself." Mingyi shook her head gently. "I'll take you back first!" Xue Lin insisted, "I don't feel at ease with you now. The city gate is closed now. Xu Huaian and the others will arrange the next arrangements, and I don't have to do everything. . I’ll take you back first, and when you get back to the house, it won’t be too late for me to come back.” Mingyi finally nodded hesitantly. Back at the Dudu's Mansion, Mingyi had been prepared with hot water and a decoction to relieve shock. After she washed up, she drank the decoction and lay down, then urged Xue Lin to leave the house, "You have to make decisions about many things. , and I just want to catch him as soon as possible. He is so crazy, and if he is outside for one more day, the people of Beiguan City will be in danger for one more day." Xue Lin didn't speak for a while, but looked at her with his eyes calmly. Knowing that he was worried about her, Mingyi hesitated, stretched out her hand, and gently placed it on the back of his hand. Xue Lin trembled slightly and suddenly raised his eyes to look at her. This was the first time that she reached out to touch him. "Don't worry, I won't make you worry. Let me take a nap, I promise, after a nap, I will be fine." She looked at him with eyes as clear as a stream and promised. Xue Lin looked at her and finally nodded, "Okay!" Thank you to all those who voted for me with monthly votes and recommendation votes, and thank you to those who continue to follow me as always. Thank you for liking this story!
