Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 227 The situation is critical

It was already morning when Hu Qian returned to Guobei County.

Asked about the guard of honor of the concubine, she said that it was the result and set off, and the county magistrate, the chief secretary and others saw off Hu Qian on behalf of Hu Qian.

Back home, Hu Qian first asked Shen Yuzhen about the three of them, and then talked with Axiu and Lu Huanniang in the courtyard.

The other things are fine, but Lu Huanniang is still obsessed with the practice, insisting on Hu Qian to give her an exact date.

Seeing Shen Yuzhen coming out later, he gave up.

Hu Qian leaned into her ear and said, "You are satisfied."

She was so ashamed that her face flushed, and she almost fell drunk in Hu Qian's arms.

Hu Qian laughed, and suddenly thought of Wu Ruoyu's heroic appearance, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Sure enough, it is only interesting if the ring is fat, the swallows are thin, and each has its own merits. If they are all the same color, how boring it would be.

At night, he still spends the night in Chu Chu's room.

Chu Chu was fine at first, but when she heard that the princess went back overnight for the sake of the child, she thought of herself again, her tears couldn't stop, she looked pitiful.

Hu Qian originally planned to comfort her, but suddenly she thought, this is her character, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

So she focused on going up and down the three roads, but after a while, she couldn't cry anymore.

After messing around for a while, Chu Chu became tired, and Hu Qian was stimulated at this moment, and couldn't fall asleep before the needle was given.

Seeing Chu Chu, she looked apologetic, "Sir, why don't I tell you the story for you, see if it's okay."

Hu Qian shook his head.

Chu Chu called Sister Feng in, ready to let her serve her.

Hu Qian, however, was moved by playfulness, so he asked Sister Feng to find Yingcai and Lu'er as well.

The four people were not inside, but lit a charcoal fire outside, clapping wantonly for love.

Seeing the new year, Shen Yuzhen and the three of them got bigger and bigger every day. During the Lantern Festival, Axiu was pregnant again.

When Chu Chu saw her, she cried like tears, and begged Jiao Na every day to help her take a look.

During the period, Hu Qian, Jiao Na and Nie Xiaoqian met several times, and Jiao Na finally recognized that it was not lupus that killed the three of Master Nie, but a blood poison.

Jiao Na didn't know exactly what it was, except that it might be related to mosquito or bat bites.

Hu Qian shook his head, the scope is so large, it is difficult to find out.

Nie Xiaoqian didn't want to rush anything, after all, both of them had tried their best, so they had to wait until later to find them slowly.

On Xu Zhenhu's side, after taking medicine a few times, he gradually recovered his memory.

But it's all fragmented memories, other than that, it's still a little crazy.

Even so, Xu Yuanfang was still so happy that he could barely fall asleep.

Not long after the peaceful days passed, another news came from the southeast.

After Tongjiang City, Huanjiang City was also lost. Not only [-] soldiers were slaughtered, but hundreds of thousands of people were also burned, killed and looted by Japanese soldiers.

Hu Qian couldn't believe his eyes.

Why did such a thing happen when Zhiqin, Yan Chixia and a group of masters from the demon town were in charge?

When Xu Yuanfang came to see Xu Zhenhu, he asked.

Xu Yuanfang said: "At first the imperial court didn't know about it, but later they found out that it was the Orientals who poisoned the water. After the soldiers and common people were poisoned, their backs developed sores and their bodies became stiff.

The Orientals took advantage of the situation to attack the city, and Huanjiang City was defeated. "

"Yan Chixia, are they all right?"

"Two people from the Zhenyaosi died. Yan Chixia and the princess are in Zhenhai City. There is no way to know the news. It should be fine."

"Zhenhai City..."

"Do you know this place too?"

"I've probably heard of it, it seems to be an important coastal town."

Xu Yuanfang shook his head, "It's not just that.

There are many places to land in the southeast sea, but there are only three passages to go inland from the southeast.

One is in Linghang, one is in Changshekou in the north, and the other is Zhenhai City.

There are heavy troops hoarded in Linghang, Changshekou is too far away, only Zhenhai City is the most suitable - weak troops, and the city wall is not high.

If you break through Zhenhai City, there will be an open plain with a flat river behind you. Orientals can drive straight in and plunder wantonly, and retreat to strangle the key points to prevent the court from chasing and killing. "

Hu Qian nodded, "It is indeed a battleground for military strategists."

"Now that the two outer cities have been lost, the princess and others are guarding Zhenhai City, but in the past few years, internal and external troubles have continued, and the imperial court has been unable to increase troops to Zhenhai City.

There are still [-] soldiers in that city. If they are defeated, it will be difficult for the Central Plains to organize effective resistance, and the court will be in danger. "

At this moment, Hu Qian suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked: "What did uncle just say? What are the symptoms of the poisoned soldier?"

Xu Yuanfang was stunned: "Sore on the back, my body is stiff..."

Hu Qian patted his thigh, "Could it be this..."

It's a pity that there are no examples. If you ask Nie Xiaoqian to take a look, you may be able to see some clues.

Another two days later, when he was sitting in the lobby of the county government hearing the case, suddenly a Jin Yiwei arrived.

Seeing Hu Qian, he didn't say anything, but let him find a secret room, and then took out the emperor's oral order.

Hu Qian quickly received the order.

After looking at it carefully, I couldn't help being surprised.

It turned out that the emperor received a secret report from Jin Yiwei, saying that the Orientals secretly sent envoys to the northwest to jointly attack with the Wusei people there.

Because it was too far to go by water, they took the risk to start by land.

Now we only know that this person has arrived in the capital, but who it is is like finding a needle in a haystack.

So Emperor Guangde quickly closed the four doors, and asked Hu Qian to help, hoping to find this person and prevent the Dongyang people from uniting with the Wusei people.

Because once they jointly send troops and use troops on both fronts, they will collapse in less than half a year.

Hu Qian didn't delay, and hurried to the capital with Jin Yiwei on his horse.

Needless to say, the journey was exhausting.

After seeing Emperor Guangde, the latter asked about his coldness and warmth again. At the same time, he secretly ordered the guards to obey Hu Qian's dispatch, and he must find out this messenger.

Hu Qian didn't want anyone else, he just let Shen Lian accompany him.

In fact, this kind of thing is different from solving a case. First, there are very few clues, and second, the other party is hiding on purpose. Rao has many supernatural powers, and he is a little helpless for a while.

Thinking of this, he didn't think about it, but took Shen Lian to the restaurant and had a hearty drink.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the two of them had a lot to say, and they were still drinking in the restaurant until late at night.

The waiter and shopkeeper of the store were going to drive people away, but seeing Shen Lian wearing Jinyiwei's clothes, they dared not say a word.

"What brother-in-law said is true. Am I really going to be an uncle?"

"Then there are still fake ones. If you have time, you can go back with me now to have a look."

"Of course my younger brother trusts my brother-in-law, but we still have errands..."

Hu Qian nodded and asked, "Where did you get the news about this Oriental envoy?"

Shen Lian said: "Master Shang Jun got it by accident, the news should be correct."

"Unintentionally? How did it come about?"

"It's... I heard those brothel girls say it when I was courting prostitutes..."
