Appearing in front of this familiar city gate, General Wang was still a little nostalgic and took several deep breaths.

Beckoning to the subordinates behind him, the group got off their horses one after another and walked directly to the outside of the Lu Mansion.

General Wang first arranged for his subordinates to accompany him, and after he rested in the courtyard here, he went straight into the courtyard wall alone.

Originally, General Wang thought that he would come back this time to be low-key enough, and he didn't alarm Qiu Yan and them in advance.

No matter what, they will sneak into the room where the two of them are unknowingly, and then surprise them.

However, he had just climbed in from outside the courtyard wall, and his feet touched the ground, when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be several suppressed breathing sounds coming from all around.

His face changed instantly, and he subconsciously put his right hand on the saber at his waist.

However, after he cautiously walked a few steps towards Qiu Yan's house, he found that those people did not release hostility towards him, so he was slightly relieved.

Hurriedly quickened his pace, climbed through the window, and gently knocked on the foot of the bed by the hazy moonlight outside the window.

Qiu Yan was sleeping in a daze at this time, and in her sleep, she unexpectedly felt that there seemed to be someone standing on the edge of the bed.

I barely opened my eyes and turned over, but through the light, I found that there was really a tall figure standing by the bed, and I was instantly frightened and let out an exclamation, "Who are you?" ”

Lu Chiye was woken up by her voice, and when he opened his eyes, he just wanted to exclaim.

General Wang hurriedly rushed forward, and after covering the mouths of the two of them one by one, he smiled lightly and said helplessly.

"It's me, don't be afraid, don't wake up your family in the middle of the night."

As he spoke, he let go of his hand.

The two of them found out that it was General Wang who had returned, and then they breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lu Chiye hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, lit the candle, and asked General Wang to sit down on the chair, and then wrapped Qiu Yan tightly and pulled him out of bed, looking at him curiously.

"Why did the general come back in the middle of the night? In any case, we should have been informed in advance, but it scared us. ”

"I'm sorry, it's really my fault, it's just that the matter is a little urgent, so I came back first, didn't scare you, right?"

After General Wang finished speaking, he directly drank the cold tea in this cup in one gulp.

Qiu Yan shook her head and patted her chest with palpitations.

After a few words of greeting him, General Wang asked suspiciously.

"When I came over just now, I found that there seemed to be a lot of masters around the two of you, what's going on? I also received a letter from you before, saying that you didn't catch the man in black this time, did I? ”

"That's true, if it weren't for the fact that the man in black was really difficult, we wouldn't be embarrassed to disturb you, General, this time we were indeed too careless."

After Qiu Yan finished speaking, he frowned with some annoyance.

The man in black was so scheming that they couldn't guard against it.

"Then it's strange, there are so many masters around the two of you who haven't solved the man in black, I'm afraid this person is really a little difficult to deal with."

"By the way, have you had any other problems here other than the man in black lately? If so, be sure to tell me, I've already reported it to my superiors, and they are very serious about what is happening here. ”

"I've already told me, if you make up your mind to eradicate that man in black, the court will provide some help."

"For example, the corresponding privileges, as well as the strength of troops, etc., will be supported a lot."

"Really? That's great! Now that we are around us, it is the time when we need help, and General Wang's return this time has really done us a great favor! Lu Chiye looked at him gratefully.

Qiu Yan thought that General Wang rushed back all the way, and it was estimated that he didn't eat well and sleep well.

But in the middle of the night, she really couldn't bear to wake up her subordinates, so she could only tighten her cloak and run towards the small kitchen.

I brought over some hot porridge that had been simmering on the stove, as well as some smoked fish and chicken that could be eaten directly.

After putting it on the table, while watching General Wang gobble it up, he and Lu Chiye told him everything that had happened recently.

General Wang nodded as he listened.

Quickly settled a large bowl of hot porridge, as well as other food on the table, and after a full burp with satisfaction, he asked.

"Since Liu Hui didn't help you after he came over, why didn't you report the news to us in advance?"

"I also know that the surname Liu has always had a bad reputation in the capital, but I didn't expect him to come here on order this time, and he is still here to cause trouble for you."

"If you let me know, I'll have to clean him up!"

"General Wang, we originally thought the same thing before. But then I thought about it, although the surname Liu is not afraid, but there are many people in his family who are officials in the court. ”

"Your Majesty, as well as the elders in his family, if you do it directly to him like this, in case he hits him backwards, I'm afraid that the two of us will not be able to eat and walk around, so we can only put him under house arrest first."

"I don't have any other hope, I just hope he doesn't mess with us." Lu Chiye explained in a deep voice.

"That's right...... But now that I'm here, I guess he won't dare to continue to trouble you in the back. ”

"Let's go, lead the way ahead, I want to see what kind of nest their Liu family has raised! I was ordered to come over, but I couldn't even do a little practical thing, and I couldn't think of a way. ”

"If they let the Liu family know, I'm afraid his family law will be indispensable!"

As he spoke, General Wang took the lead in standing up, and Qiu Yan and the others immediately followed.

Although it was already midnight at this time, because Lu Chiye had arranged a lot of people with strong martial arts skills to patrol and guard all corners of the yard, it was quite safe here.

The people hidden in the darkness couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw General Wang and Qiu Yan walking very closely.

Fortunately, just now they felt that the general looked quite familiar, so they did not rashly attack.

Otherwise, this misunderstanding would be a big one.

But who knows, when Qiu Yan and the others held the lantern and went to the firewood room where Liu Hui was held before, as soon as they opened the door, they were startled by the scene in front of them.

Liu Hui, who was originally tied with his feet tied and thrown in the corner of this room, is gone!

Qiu Yan was shocked, and hurriedly held the lantern, and after looking inside and outside the open space in this room, he looked at Lu Chiye in surprise.

"Why is this man gone? I remember someone coming to me this morning to report that he was locked up in this place, and that he had eaten all the food he had yesterday. ”

"Isn't that normal?" Lu Chiye glanced at Qiu Yan calmly, and didn't seem to be flustered at all.

looked at General Shangwang suspiciously, and took the initiative to explain to him.

"General Wang, you must know a little bit about the person surnamed Liu."

"He's just an ordinary eunuch who has been pampered and raised, he can't carry it on his shoulders or carry it, how can he escape from us with his own strength? So, there is definitely someone behind this who is helping him. ”

"Having said that, but when I see that the Lu family master is so determined, is it that he has already doubted it?" General Wang asked rhetorically.

When he came in, he observed all the furnishings in the firewood room, and now he had two guesses in his mind.

"It's nature." Seeing that Qiu Yan was still confused, Lu Chiye gently touched her head and talked eloquently to General Wang.

"General Wang may not know that the group of black-clothed men used that batch of goods as a threat, which really delayed us a lot of time."

"However, after we took great pains to get the goods back, we did make an appointment with the other party for the transaction."

"However, with Liu Hui's strength alone, there is no way to escape......"

"So the biggest possibility is that when you made the first transaction, he had someone behind him to help, so he escaped quietly."

"Really?" General Wang casually took Lu Chiye's words.

When Qiu Yan heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and said in the back.

"That's true, we made an appointment to meet those night people during the day, so the husband deployed manpower, probably because he didn't notice the situation here, so he gave that Liu Hui a chance."

Since they are all smart people, this is much easier.

Lu Chiye bowed his head slightly in front of General Wang and said politely.

"General Wang, if you look at the furnishings in this house, you can see that he is not very far from this place, and the grass balls on this ground are still a little warm."

As he spoke, he squatted down, touched the pile of hay that Liu Hui had been sitting on, and replied calmly.

"It should be too late for us to chase it out."

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and let people chase it! It took a lot of effort to bring him here before. ”

"If he runs away like this, if he brings any useful news to the man in black again, won't all our previous efforts be in vain?" Qiu Yan urged anxiously.

"Okay, don't be impatient, madam, I'll arrange people."

With that, Lu Chiye calmly walked out of the firewood room.

After taking out a small whistle from his waist and blowing two notes of three long and two short, soon, several black-clothed people rushed out from several corners of the road mansion and knelt down on one knee in front of him, "What does the master of the house command?" ”

"According to this address, go and get Liu Hui back for me, you must be careful, don't alarm the people behind him, understand?"

Several subordinates immediately agreed, and soon, the sturdy figure disappeared into the night.
