The wrong marriage: the arrogant husband comes to farm

Chapter 172 Losing composure
When Li Laoqi arrived, there were already two dead bodies in front of him. He checked his pulse, tried his breath, and shook his head helplessly.Although he was full of curiosity about the sudden appearance of these two people, he still gritted his teeth and swallowed his curiosity.

After finally cleaning up the blood on the ground, there was a sudden knock on the door, which shocked all the people present. After all, if someone found out that someone died in this courtyard, it would definitely be a trouble. It was too late to hide the corpses, so Nancheng Mo simply took a broken mat and covered the two of them.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Nancheng Mo Nan here?" The male voice at the door was like an order, piercing through the entire courtyard.

"Who is outside the door?" Everyone in the courtyard held their breath for a while, but Huber walked to the door calmly, his voice was like a bell.

"I am Huo Qing, the deputy general of the Chinese army who supervised the northern army, please forgive me for disturbing you," the voice from outside was thick and powerful. Although the pitch was not as high as that of the person who called the door just now, it was enough to make everyone present surrender .

"General Zhen, Zhenbei..." As soon as these words came out, even Huber couldn't help losing his calm demeanor, he hurriedly stepped forward to unlock the door, and bowed to invite the person outside.

Huo Qing walked into the courtyard alone, his expression of calm and prestige was extremely intimidating, and the courtyard was suddenly silent.

Qin Mengyao took a peek at Huo Qing, and saw that he was at least in his thirties, his hands were dark and rough from the battle, and even his fingertips could see calluses from long-term contact with weapons.There are still thick/hard stubbles on the dark face, and the corners of the eyes are slightly drooping, but those small eyes reveal a light like a falcon, and he can't wait to use his sharp claws to pull out people's hearts in the next second.

"Vice General Huo, please sit down!" Nan Chengmo asked Huo Qing to sit on the small stool in the yard with his fingertips trembling slightly. He ran to the kitchen in a hurry, but subconsciously turned his head to look at the broken mat on the ground.

Huo Qing followed her gaze and saw the corner of the clothes under the broken mat. His eyes froze a little, but his face remained calm, and he only smiled slightly, "The deputy general is only here to visit today, please don't be rigid, Mr. Nan, You sit too!"

Nancheng Mo Weiwei looked straight, pretending to be calm and straightened his back and sat on the corner of the stool with half his butt down, the muscles on his face twitched unconsciously due to excessive smiling.

"Well, I'll help Mama Liu boil the water," Qin Mengyao finished in a low voice, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.Huo Qing heard these words clearly, and cast a disdainful look at Qin Mengyao's swiftly walking back. Sure enough, he came from a small family, so he didn't even speak properly.

But Hu Bo and Li Laoqi were guarding the door one by one. Li Laoqi looked out of the door and saw that the alley was full of sergeants in military uniforms with solemn faces. The door frame barely supported himself from falling down.

"Brother, did the Nan family offend someone?" Li Laoqi whispered in Huber's ear, but Huber also shook his head with a puzzled face, and pouted into the courtyard warily, saying something. There was a gesture of silence.

"Master Nan, to tell you the truth, I am following orders. If I offend you, I hope you will forgive me," Huo Qing said, and took out a gold-encrusted silk satin package from his bosom, and opened it layer by layer. On the silk and satin lay the paperweight that was stolen at the beginning, and the crystals of black jade looked even more radiant against the glittering gold, "Is this thing owned by Mr. Nan?"

"This paperweight was not stolen by someone, so why is it in your place!" Nan Chengmo looked at the lost and recovered paperweight in surprise, and couldn't help but wanted to take it in his hand, only when he stretched his hand halfway, did he realize his own Something was wrong, and he withdrew his hand embarrassingly, and looked at Huo Qing uneasily.

"It's not important why this thing is in my hands. What's important is that this paperweight belongs to you?" Huo Qing raised his lips slightly, his masculine face revealed a trace of the charm of a mature man, Qin Mengyao When he came forward with tea, he had a full view of the smile, and couldn't help but look a few more times.

"That's right, my father left this paperweight to me, and I told me to keep it safe, but it was accidentally stolen. I didn't expect it to be in the hands of the general." Nan Chengmo looked at Huo Qing's bottomless eyes, and his heart suddenly Feeling uneasy, "If the general likes it, it's a great honor for this paperweight, and I'm willing to give it to you!"

Huo Qing smiled even more, but carefully placed the paperweight and the silk inlaid with gold on the stone table in front of him. Guess wrong, there should be three other things accompanying this thing."

"This..." Nan Chengmo hesitated a little. He was becoming more and more unable to understand the purpose of the deputy general. He had already taken out the paperweight, but why did he ask about the other three things? No, he never When talking about the sandalwood box to outsiders, how could he, an outsider, know so clearly!
"Xuanzhou Shuxuan, Xuancheng Zihao, Zhaoqing Duan Inkstone, these three things are still in the hands of Mr. Nan, right?" Huo Qing picked up the tea, and the thick, rough, big-leaf black tea smelled strong in his nose. Although Huo Qing didn't pay much attention to the way of drinking tea, he still frowned slightly, just held the teacup in his hand, and looked at Nan Cheng Mo with deep eyes, there was consideration and deep worry in it.

"These three items are treasures among ink treasures. The Nan family's family background is weak, so how could there be such rare treasures?" Nan Cheng Mo smiled guiltyly, thinking of the three items lying in the sandalwood box. He used up a lot, but there were at least a few leftovers. He glanced at Qin Mengyao who was not far away, but Qin Mengyao was staring at the position where the two men in black were lying, so he unconsciously went to the place where the two men in black were lying. Aim at the broken seat.

Huo Qing knew that he was hiding something, so he was not in a hurry, so he cast his eyes on the ground, "It's a nice yard, why put this broken mat, it's really an eyesore!"

"Broken mat, oh, just go down and tidy it up later, I won't bother General Huo to do it," Nancheng Mohuo stood up suddenly, and stood in front of Huo Qing, deliberately hiding the broken mat behind him, but Huo Qing With just a slight wave of his hand, Nan Cheng Mo was pushed aside.

Huo Qing's expression was as usual, "Mr. Nan is so nervous, could it be that he has something to hide from this general?"

"General Huo, please forgive me." Nan Cheng Mo suddenly fell to his knees with a plop, pointing at the crowd and pleaded, "This matter has nothing to do with them. I hope the general will not punish them. If he does, he will punish me alone!"

Nan Cheng Mo knelt and walked to the broken mat, and gently opened a corner. Huo Qing had a panoramic view of the tragic situation of the two people on the ground. Nan Cheng Mo gritted his teeth and told everything that happened in the night. There was no change, but the voice became colder and colder.

"Tell Li Ran to come in!" As soon as Huo Qing finished speaking, he heard a person outside the door stepping in quickly. When he saw Huo Qing, he immediately bowed and saluted. He turned his eyes and saw the two corpses on the ground. Somewhat cautious.

"Li Ran, go and have a look. Do you recognize those two?" Huo Qing's tone was extremely cold, obviously extremely angry.

"Back to the deputy general, the weapons used by these two belong to the barracks, and the stamp on it..." Li Ran hesitated a little, but saw Huo Qing's face darken, "It is the stamp of the Huo family army."

"You're so brave, you dare to do something in front of this deputy general. You should check carefully to find out what background these two people are, and report it immediately after checking!" Huo Qing slapped his big hand, and the stone table top cracked a thin crack.

No wonder he sent people to investigate secretly last night, but heard the three people report that the people in this house were extremely vigilant and kept guard in the courtyard all night, so it turned out that they were caught first!

Nan Cheng Mo stood aside with his head bowed, not even daring to vent his breath. He watched the stone table being split open under a palm, and then heard Huo Qing ask about the other three calligraphy treasures in the study, so he simply refused. No longer hiding it, I took the initiative to move the sandalwood boxes out of the study, and placed them in front of Huo Qing one by one.

"Do you know that if you take out just one inkstone, it is worth a fortune. Not only your Nan family, but even the whole village may go straight to prosperity!" Huo Qing picked up the Duan inkstone carefully, "But, if you really show it After buying these treasures, I am afraid that there will be more than just this group of people who come to peep at night."

The back of Nancheng Mo's neck was sweating profusely. He only knew that it was a family heirloom left to him by his father, but he didn't expect these things to be so enviable. Fortunately, they were discovered early last night, otherwise, with these people's vicious temperament, The consequences are unimaginable...

All of a sudden, the four treasures gathered at home, and the ordinary small courtyard suddenly became a blur in Nan Chengmo's eyes. He has experienced wealth and poverty, and he has seen a lot of it, but when the pie hits his head, he is still a blur. Inevitably dizzy.

"General Huo, since you are so familiar with the Four Treasures, you must have come prepared. It's inconvenient here, so let's take a step to talk." Nan Chengmo respectfully invited Huo Qing to sit in the hall, and went out to tell Qin With a word from Mengyao, she turned around and entered, and closed the door tightly.

Nan Cheng Mo and Huo Qing chatted in the room for nearly three or four hours, they didn't even eat lunch, they kept chatting in the room.

Li Ran guarded the door with two subordinates, not allowing anyone to approach.Qin Mengyao had only seen the demeanor of the general in novels and TV, but when he came into close contact with him, he found that the fierce aura emanating from the other party was simply difficult to get close to.

"Brother soldier, they have stayed in the room for so long. If they don't eat something, I'm afraid the general will starve to death!" Being stopped directly by Li Ran, it's fine for them not to eat, but even the people in the courtyard dared not eat. The people in the courtyard had to raise their hearts, for fear that the door would be opened, and the crime would come out.

The soldiers at the gate stood there, motionless like sculptures, not even daring to take a sip of water. Qin Mengyao was horrified when he saw it. With such strict military regulations, if these elite soldiers go to the battlefield, unless the opponent is capable, otherwise It's really hard to lose.

After half a day of investigation, Li Ran obviously had all the information about the two dead soldiers in the courtyard, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any clues about the accomplices from the two. Moreover, after the two were captured, they saw that they were unable to escape, so they cut their lives Well, the person who made the order must have expected it a long time ago, and deliberately killed the clues, which is really vicious.

However, the Huo Family Army, led by Deputy General Huo Qing, has been rushing to Pulan City non-stop since receiving the general's order. They only rested outside the city last night, but there was such a mistake, and the mistake was also made by the Huo Family Army. Li Ran thought about the reason for the period, but in the end he just sighed secretly and stood quietly at the entrance of the hall.

Just when Qin Mengyao's legs were weak, Huo Qing finally pursed his lips and pulled open the door. Nan Cheng Mo followed closely behind, but his face was extremely pale, and even his footsteps were a little weak.

Huo Qing turned his head sharply and shot at Nan Cheng Mo with sharp sword eyes, "Master Nan, you are still Mr. Nan, and Huo respects your wishes, but this matter is of great importance. I hope Mr. Nan can think carefully about it before doing it." It's not too late to make a decision. Huo and his soldiers will wait outside the city for three days, and if Mr. Nan thinks it through, please send someone to inform him."

"Thank you General for your kindness," Nan Cheng Mo squeezed out a smile, and finished speaking with all his might, his lips gradually oozing blood from being bitten by his teeth.When Huo Qing saw it, contempt appeared in his eyes, but then he was carefully hidden. What he found was such a cowardly person, which is really disappointing!
The corpse in the courtyard had already been carried aside and carefully rolled up with a mat. Huo Qing's eyes swept over the remaining blood, and Li Ran immediately bowed in understanding, "My lord, the identities of those two have been found out. He was still in our tent last night, but he disappeared when we practiced this morning, unexpectedly he arrived before us."

Huo Qing was rejected by Nan Cheng Mo just now, and now he was very angry, and when he heard that the two people who attacked Nanzhai at night were actually his subordinates, he became even more furious, "Oh, I didn't expect these people to dare to do it under the general's nose, If that's the case, then don't blame Ben Jiang for being ruthless!"

"Take the corpse and go back to the camp!" Huo Qing shook his clothes vigorously, striding out the door without looking back.

Li Ran followed behind obediently, before leaving, he turned his head and whispered to Nan Chengmo, "My lord, you have to think twice about everything! We are just waiting for your good news..." After saying that, he dodged to chase after him. go out.

In just a short while, the neatly lined teams on the street disappeared without a trace, and there were no people on the street, as if those people had never appeared today, and the appearance of Lieutenant General Huo Qing was just a dream.Qin Mengyao rubbed his eyes vigorously, looking into the distance in confusion, everything was like a dream, but the remaining blood stains on the ground always reminded himself of the thrill of last night.

"Hey, young master, what's wrong with you, don't scare me!" Mama Liu exclaimed, and supported the crumbling Nan Cheng Mo, only to see that Nan Cheng Mo's face was already pale, and he bent over and retched while clutching his stomach. , It's just that I didn't have time to eat both breakfast and lunch, my stomach was empty, and I only spit out a few mouthfuls of sour water.

Fortunately, Uncle Qi had been worried about the safety of Nan's family since he sneaked home. Seeing the troops retreating, he immediately ran over to find out what was going on. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Nan Chengmo looking pained, and hurriedly helped him onto the bed before wiping off his sweat , "Hurry up and make a bowl of thin millet porridge, this man, he can't do without food, and his iron body still needs to be supported by food!"

After listening to it, Mama Liu repeated Amitabha and ran to the kitchen with small steps.
