Chapter 124 Luzhou
"Anyway, he is appointed by His Majesty. Even if you are really dissatisfied with him, at least for His Majesty's sake, be polite to him." Jiang Rulan chased after Xiong Zhenghao and reasoned, Wu Song tilted his head to watch Taking a look at Xiong Zhenghao, he stared directly at him.

Wu Song was so fierce that he didn't know why, so he could only mutter in a low voice: "I didn't provoke you, so what are you doing so angry?"

Xiong Zhenghao walked with strides, and Jiang Rulan trotted all the way, talking so much that he was so tired that his mouth was dry.

"He is His Majesty's man, so we are not His Majesty's man?" Xiong Zhenghao asked back: "Every one of the garrison army has become a soft persimmon. They don't need others to pinch them, and they are all soft and watery! They can still investigate the matter." Looking for Li Chengru, what a joke!"

Jiang Rulan finally walked side by side with Xiong Zhenghao. He thought for a while and then said, "Didn't they ask you to help manage the garrison? Are you still not satisfied?"

"Master Jiang," Xiong Zhenghao was about to laugh angrily, and he said: "I just said that those in the garrison have been neglected for training, and have long since become useless. What's the use of me taking care of it? Besides, this mess is ruined." What am I drawing on me?"

"But master said you can't disobey orders!" Wu Song added.

"You're the one who talks too much!" Xiong Zhenghao pushed Wu Song, the little man took two steps forward, and stared back at him angrily, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Xiong Zhenghao said: "What the Governor said is based on the premise of the Forbidden Army. Can these people compare with the Forbidden Army?"

"Oh!" Jiang Rulan slapped him, and said in a low voice, "The deputy general doesn't dare to speak nonsense, and he wants to accuse the governor! It was Wu Xiuting who was hindered by the governor's ability, and was afraid that the imperial army would replace the Tianzhou garrison, so he ran away. There was a commotion in the school grounds, did the lieutenant forget about it?"

Of course he dare not forget.

Li Xunchuan was merciful in not driving him out of the imperial army at that time. Although he and Chang Yinyu were beaten, Li Xunchuan still regarded him highly and was not affected by Wu Xiuting.

This is one of the reasons why he is loyal to Li Yuchuan.Now that Li Xunchuan is not here, he can come to investigate the matter, thanks to Li Xunchuan's beating and promoting him, he is grateful in his heart, but also because of these, he feels that no one can compare to Li Xunchuan.

Seeing Tan Zhen being so useless now, he misses him even more, and wants to pursue Li Yuchuan's courageous decision.But he is really outspoken. Once the words just now are used by someone with a heart, he is likely to be the one who sent Li Xunchuan on the road.

Chu Shiyu treats Li Yuchuan very well now. Four years ago, he let Li Yuchuan enter the capital and took the title of champion. The outside world said that His Majesty was afraid of the champion Hou's achievements, so he did this to consolidate the throne, even if Li Yuchuan did not admit it. He didn't mention a single word, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Li Yuchuan was wronged from the very beginning.

He didn't want to be harsh on Xunchuan.

But now that Li Yuchuan was mentioned, he couldn't help but think of Zhuo Ran.

In his opinion, Li Yuchuan would have suffered this crime without entering Gao.He didn't know who was right and who was wrong about Zhuo Ting's matter, but if there were no such things, Li Yanchuan would only stay in Beili, and he would only be a general with his brother, and everything would go smoothly.

But Zhuo ran into Gaodu.Maybe she shouldn't be alive. At that time, the ancient Qiang people should have killed her completely. Even if Li Yanchuan was temporarily trapped in Gaodu, he would always think about how to go back to Beili, how to go to help Xiao Qijing, and how to save Gu Qiang. The Qiang people were driven out of Dayu completely. At that time, Li Yunchuan was the upright King of Beili. He might also become a leader and accompany his elder brother.

But these are all imaginations.

He watched Li Yuchuan step by step to this point.At that time, he had told Gu Zhao that he didn't like Zhuo Ran, and that Zhuo Ran would delay Li Yanchuan, and Gu Zhao also agreed, but he couldn't tell Li Yanchuan about this matter personally, and they couldn't help it no matter how anxious they were about their master.

But after all these years, he also sympathized with Zhuo Ran.The matter of Zhuo Ting was not innocent after all, the Battle of Jixi seemed to be like that, what was passed on by others would be what it was, and when Zhuo Ran's name was mentioned, others would only think that it was the descendant of the guilty minister.

He admired Zhuo Ran's firm mind for living like this alone. If it were him, he might not be able to last until now.

I don't know whether Li Yanchuan and Zhuo Ran are safe in Yidong now, and whether the Los Angeles bandits are waiting for them in Yidong.

Xiong Zhenghao restrained his temper, and said in a deep voice: "I know, I will pay attention."

Wu Song wrapped his cloak tightly, looked up at Xiong Zhenghao, and said, "Bear, do you think it is possible that Chang Yinyu is in Los Angeles?"

"Didn't he leave with Zhou Yu that day?" Jiang Rulan heard that Chang Yinyu left before everyone could react.

Xiong Zhenghao shook his head and said, "It's better for them not to be here. Los Angeles is not a good place. If Li Chengru's old nest is here, we have to rush to save him."

Wu Song shrank his head and walked forward, stuffed in his cloak and said: "Changgou's martial arts are not bad, if only he could help."

"Then don't look for me when you encounter anything, wait for Chang Yinyu to rescue you!" Xiong Zhenghao quickened his pace.

There were very few people on the street, mostly because Xiong Zhenghao was frightened by Xiong Zhenghao during the recent investigation, and he tried not to come out during the day.A few of them were shopping outside and wandering around, but when they saw Xiong Zhenghao, they basically avoided them, sticking their heads out to breathe a sigh of relief when Xiong Zhenghao left.

Wu Song tilted his head: "Your deterrent power is a bit strong."

"Oh." Xiong Zhengmo snorted lightly.

Jiang Rulan had sharp eyes and saw Liu Yulin from a long distance away.

Liu Yulin began to dress fancy after leaving Gaodu, and the pure color clothes could no longer catch his eyes. At first glance, the one he was wearing looked like the kind of rags that had been left for decades and would reflect black light. The sky was not sunny, There is nothing attractive about this dress.

Xiong Zhenghao never liked this kind of colorful and dirty clothes, but Liu Yulin took them all.But he didn't seem to feel it, and on the contrary, he was very protective of this layer of skin.

"Liu Jijiu!" Wu Song stretched out his hand and shook Liu Yulin.

Liu Yulin frowned, and when he got up, he still hugged the hem of his clothes for fear of getting dirty, and raised his hand in response after seeing clearly that it was an acquaintance.

"Here, here!" Liu Yulin smiled, and Wu Song was the first to rush over.

Xiong Zhenghao felt that his clothes were very conspicuous, and he didn't want to stand with him at all. Jiang Rulan insisted on pulling him over, and Xiong Zhengmo moved his position with some disgust, and stood in front of Wu Song.

"What expression?" Liu Yulin frowned, and said, "Are you arguing with Master Tan again?"

Xiong Zhenghao gave a "tsk" sound: "How do you use the word quarrel? It seems like I have a good relationship with him."

"It's really noisy again?" Liu Yulin was surprised for a moment. Seeing Jiang Rulan nod her head, she relaxed her expression and said, "No, let's make a noise. It's okay. We'll check it ourselves. If we find out, we'll go home early."

Seeing that the people following Liu Yulin were knocking on doors, Wu Song said, "Liu Jijiu, what did you find out here?"

Liu Yulin shook his head, and Xiong Zhenghao shook his head too.

"According to reason, it shouldn't be." Jiang Rulan frowned, and said, "Luocheng is such a big place, and it's not considered prosperous. The people we bring can be compared to a half of the people here. There's no reason why we can't find out come out."

Liu Yulin straightened his clothes and said, "That guy Li Chengru is so old and cunning, how could he tell you to find him all at once?"

Xiong Zhenghao sighed, and said, "I don't have much time, I'll go to the city gate to have a look, and you guys continue to check here."

"I'll go with you." Wu Song said.

"Master Jiang, come with me." Xiong Zhenghao looked around and said, "You and Liu Jijiu stay here, we'll come find you later."

Liu Yulin nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the city at night to have a look. There are crowds there, maybe there will be clues at night."

"it is good."

***
Last night the westerly wind withered the green trees.The cloud was like a curtain, and the light rain made stains, and it was completely rainless around noon.

Li Xunchuan led Zhuo Ran to the market. Luzhou was indeed what it was rumored to be. There were all kinds of objects, many of which were not found in Gaodu.Li Xunchuan and Zhuo Ran walked and watched, and there were more and more people on the street. Zhuo Ran took Li Xunchuan's arm and followed him through several streets.

"Chi Yue, can you find the way?" Zhuo Ran suspected that Li Yanchuan was sneaking away from her, and after walking for a long time, he was sweating all over.

Li Xunchuan smiled and said, "If you can find it, don't worry and follow me."

"Oh..." Zhuo Ran looked at him dubiously, Li Xunchuan grabbed her hand tightly, and stopped after a while at a small corner.

"Here?" Zhuo Ran pinched Li Yanchuan's fingers with both hands, and looked in the direction he was looking.

It is indeed a shop, and the scale does not look small.

Li Xunchuan frowned, and said, "I thought Gu Zhao said that he was far away from Da Xiye in the city, but he is so close."

Zhuo Ran was blocked by the crowd, Li Yanchuan smiled and stretched out his arms to hug him.

Zhuo Ran immediately grabbed his shoulders, widened his eyes, and Li Yanchuan raised his head and said, "Look, are there many people?"

Zhuo Ran heard the words and glanced over her head, there were a few people outside the shop, and there were people everywhere, Zhuo Ran secretly sighed that the business was so hot, Li Yuchuan gently let them down.

"Gu Zhao said that he and his aunt said in a letter that we would come." Li Yanchuan let go of her hand after watching her stand firmly, and said, "It's just that he didn't tell me that there will be so many people here."

Zhuo Ran said, "It's not appropriate for us to go in now, is it?"

Li Xunchuan looked down at her, Zhuo Ran smiled, and said, "If you say that we are not here to eat but to seek shelter, then the whole room will just stare at us, and then guess who kidnapped us." who."

Such a scene is a bit funny.

With a smile in his eyes, Li Yuchuan said in a low voice, "Why don't you guess that we eloped?"

"It's not what you want, how can it be called elopement?" Zhuo Ran stood on tiptoe and said, "Besides, elopement can be so blatant, how can it be believed?"

Li Xunchuan leaned over, and Zhuo Ran took a small step back.

"Anyway, they don't know us." Li Yanchuan took Zhuo Ran's hand and said as he walked into the shop: "Go and eat something first, and tell the proprietress when there are fewer people."

As soon as he entered the store, several people rushed out from both sides of the door and shouted, "Your Majesty." Li Xunchuan held Zhuo Ran in his arms and found a seat to sit down.

Zhuo Ran wanted to take off the cloak, but Li Yanchuan stretched out his arms to block it: "No, wear it properly."

"But I'm so hot." Zhuo Ran just untied the tie knot, when Li Xunchuan frowned, he bowed his head obediently and tied it up again.

"What do you two want to eat?" The shop waiter put a towel on his shoulder and brought up the freshly brewed hot tea.

Li Xunchuan looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "Two bowls of noodles in clear soup."

Zhuo Ran held her hands in her bosom, Li Yanchuan smiled and said, "Do you have fresh milk here?"

The waiter nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then ask for another bowl of fresh milk, warm."

Li Xunchuan only poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Xiaqiu, have you seen the proprietress?"

Zhuo Ran shook her head, from the moment she entered the door, she saw Xiao Er running everywhere, and there were other guys at the counter, and she didn't see anyone who looked like the proprietress.

"It should be upstairs." Zhuo Ran pointed to it, and said, "This is only for eating, and the upper part is full of private rooms."

Li Xunchuan nodded and said, "I've been hesitating. This place is too close to Daxihou's mansion. We haven't found out the situation. I'm afraid it's not safe to live here rashly."

Zhuo Ran also agreed, saying: "Then let's not talk about it, let's go to the side of Da Xiye's mansion to see if there is any suspicious person after dinner."

"Yeah." Li Yanchuan took a sip of tea and licked the corners of his lips.

"By the way, let Ruofei go to Luocheng to have a look." Zhuo Ran said: "After all, there is Li Chengru in Luocheng, and I'm afraid Wu Song and the others will be in danger. I've heard of that state capital, too. If we don’t do anything, we’ll rush over after we’ve dealt with the matter here, I’m afraid it’s too late.”

Li Xunchuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let Ruofei go in a while, and we'll go to the street to buy some meat for him after eating."

Just as he was talking, the waiter in the shop brought out the food.Li Xunchuan looked down at the fresh milk, then reached out to test the temperature and handed it to Zhuo Ran.

"Drink slowly, it's a little hot." Li Yanchuan reminded Zhuo Ran when he saw that Zhuo Ran was about to drink while holding the bowl in both hands. Zhuo Ran put down the bowl when he heard the words, and seeing Li Yanchuan frowned, he said, "What's wrong?"

Li Xunchuan said: "The milk here is not very good. When I return to Beili in the future, I will find some milk-producing cows and sheep for you. It will be good to drink that."

Zhuo Ran lowered his head and blew, raised his head and drank the milk in one gulp, feeling almost full immediately.Li Xunchuan handed her the chopsticks and said, "Eat a little."

"Oh." Zhuo Ran grabbed the chopsticks.

Li Xunchuan felt that Zhuo Ran's obedient appearance was obedient and cute. Just after thinking about it, Zhuo Ran put down his chopsticks and didn't plan to eat. He frowned, but Zhuo Ran propped his jaw and said that the noodles here were not as delicious as Li Xunchuan's. She ate them. No more.

"Who knows the Chinese food..." Li Yanchuan suddenly thought of this poem.

Zhuo Ran picked up the chopsticks again, Li Yanchuan smiled and said, "Be obedient, finish eating. If there is a chance, I will find the kitchen, and I will make it for you again."

There was an endless stream of people in the store, and Li Yanchuan secretly sighed that the business is booming. If it attracts attention here, it may really be unsafe.Zhuo Ran was stared at by Li Yanchuan after eating, holding her chubby belly, she was almost unable to walk. When she came out, she had just been given a few bowls of porridge and a bowl of medicine by Li Yanchuan, and she was really exhausted at the moment.

Li Xunchuan wholeheartedly wanted to make Zhuo Ran fat, but last night he pinched his ribs and felt painful. If he ate more, he would look puffy.

"You really can't walk anymore?" Li Yunchuan looked down at Zhuo Ran, saw her rubbing her belly, and nodded pitifully.

"Stand here and don't move, I'll go to the counter to have a look." Li Xunchuan patted her on the back, then turned and went to the front desk.

"Does the guest pay the bill?" the man asked.

Li Xunchuan put the money on the counter, and heard someone beside him saying that Marquis Da Xi was very busy recently, and seemed to be looking into some money issues.

He stood still, listening to them go on.

Han Cheng is the person in charge of money in Luzhou. A few days ago, he suddenly discovered that there was a problem with Luzhou's account books. It was discovered at that time, and it was reported to the police and started to investigate all night.

It was kept a tight secret before, but only in the past few days have some rumors surfaced. Now Da Xihou is frantically looking for the officials at that time, trying to find out the problem as soon as possible.

Currency and pay?

Li Xunchuan's heart trembled suddenly.

Some of the food and salaries were shipped to Beili, and some were sent to the border.If something goes wrong with these things, then Beili and the border...

"Guest officer?" Seeing that Li Xunchuan was fascinated, the clerk stretched out his hand and poked him: "This is for you."

Li Xunchuan came back to his senses and said, "Oh...thank you. I would like to ask, what is the matter with the recent investigation of food, payment and silver in Luzhou?"

"My lord is a foreigner." Seeing Zhuo Ran's appearance, the buddy knew that he must have just come to Luzhou, so he said, "Actually, that's what they said. After several days of investigation, there was no result. Out."

Li Xunchuan frowned: "Is there any news from Beili and the border?"

"The young master is from Beili?"

Li Yanchuan paused for a moment, then said: "I... I have relatives in Beili, under the command of General Xiao."

"That's it..." The man shook his head and said, "There's no news about Beili and the border. It's just that the food and wages are exchanged for silver taels. The frontline battles will definitely be affected. Marquis Daxi will definitely find a way. Don't worry, my lord."

Li Xunchuan nodded, clutching the recovered money in his palm, breaking out in a cold sweat.

That's not something that Da Xihou can solve by thinking of a way.Although he was not in Beili, he knew everything about Gu Qiang's attack on Beili. If there was a problem with the payment, Beili would not have no news at all, unless the news was intercepted, unless something really happened and there was no time to send it back.

Zhuo Ran waited for a long time, and seeing Li Xunchuan standing by the counter in a daze, she stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

"What's the matter?" Zhuo Ran noticed that Li Yuchuan was a little restless, so she reached out and pinched his fingers, and said, "Why are you standing here?"

Li Xunchuan calmed down and said, "Let's go out first."

"Okay." Zhuo Ran pulled Li Yuchuan out of the store.

It was rare for Li Yanchuan to be in such a trance, Zhuo Ran pulled him to a place with few people, then wrapped Li Yanchuan's hand in his palm, and looked up at him.

"What did you hear just now?" Zhuo Ran saw him talking to the guy at the counter for a while, and then he became like this after speaking.
