Chapter 271 The Old Man
Chapter 271 The Old Man
After Xiao Lengyue asked Chunxiang and the others to go down and rest, he began to use that set of mental methods and tried to mobilize his internal energy.
Then she discovered that her internal energy could really heal her injuries, but after a few seconds, the internal energy was gone.
Speaking of this internal force, she felt it was very strange. She didn't have it before, but since she learned that mental method, she felt that there was an extra energy in her body.
At first she didn't know what it was. It was only after the big-headed snake told her that it was internal force that she knew about it.
If this internal force can actually heal internal injuries, then can I help Tianze treat it?
As soon as this idea came to her mind, Xiao Lengyue started to practice it for a cycle, and then she gave up the idea.
It was because, no matter how many times he ran the Qigong exercises, the internal energy in his body was so limited that it had no effect at all.
After Xiao Lengyue put this thought to rest, he turned his attention to the affairs of this city.
She took out the information that Tianze had sent people to investigate from the space.
After finding the information about this city, she began to read it.
After reading the information here, she rubbed her brows with a headache. She didn't expect that all the important positions in this city were recommended.
Before, Tianze hadn’t found out who introduced her, but now, Xiao Lengyue guessed that it must be someone from Concubine Hui’s family.
After reading it, Xiao Lengyue said, “Long Er, let the city lord give clear instructions to all his people.
Detain them first, and deal with them after we find out what bad things they have done."
When Long Er heard this, he instantly appeared in the house, bowed to Xiao Lengyue, and left.
Xiao Lengyue waited for a whole night. She originally thought that she could settle down in one night.
But Long Er had been out for a whole night and hadn't found a suitable person to take over. Thinking of this, Xiao Lengyue began to think about who among his group was suitable to stay here.
In fact, it is not very difficult to find someone to stay here. What is more difficult is to make the people of this city convinced of the future lord of the city.
Xiao Lengyue was flipping through the names of people in the city, and suddenly, she saw a familiar name.
"Zhang Wu?"
Xiao Lengyue looked at the name and suddenly thought of the escorting officer.
At this moment, Long Er came back, but the result was predictable.
Xiao Lengyue looked at Long Er and said, "Call this yamen runner named Zhang Wu."
When Long Er heard the name, he was stunned for a moment and then left.
He knew this man. He was relatively fair, but also rather old-fashioned and inflexible, so officials did not like him very much.
If it weren't for the fact that he was sent from the government office in the capital, the county magistrate would have to be more cautious, otherwise he would have been sent away long ago.
Long Er didn't understand, this guy was so ordinary, how did the master notice him?
Although he was thinking about it, his actions were not slow at all.
He came to the government office, looked at the county magistrate, took out the token in his hand, and said coldly: "Call Zhang Wu."
When the county magistrate heard this, he was so scared that he quickly looked at the legal advisor behind him. Seeing this, the legal advisor went downstairs to look for someone.
After the lawyer left, the county magistrate asked cautiously, "Sir, who did Zhang Wu offend again?
If so, please be magnanimous and forgive him this time."
When Long Er heard this, he looked at the county magistrate with amusement, "Didn't I hear that the county magistrate doesn't like him?
He has offended a noble now, are you unhappy?"
When the county magistrate heard this, he quickly said, "Your Excellency, I don't think so. Please look carefully."
Long Er looked at the county magistrate with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
When the county magistrate saw Long Er's look, he lowered his eyes, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
He absolutely could not let the adults take Zhang Wu away, otherwise the things he had done would be completely exposed.
Long Er saw the county magistrate's expression clearly. Thinking about the information he had previously investigated, it seemed that the people had concealed a lot.
Soon, Zhang Wu was brought in.
Long Er looked at the burly man in front of him and asked suspiciously, "Are you Zhang Wu?"
Zhang Wu bowed and said, "I am Zhang Wu, your Excellency."
When Zhang Wu saw the badge in Long Er's hand, he knew that he was from the City Lord's Mansion. However, he had no connection with the City Lord's Mansion, so why would he come all the way to find him?
Zhang Wu couldn't figure it out, so he asked Long Er directly.
Long Er probably guessed what Zhang Wu was thinking, and said directly: "Come with me, the noble man has something to ask you."
When the county magistrate heard this, he quickly spoke out to stop him, saying, "Sir, Zhang Wu is just a yamen runner. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."
When Long Er heard this, he said coldly: "Why, do you want to be the master of the noble man?"
When the county magistrate heard this, he quickly apologized, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, sir."
Long Er didn't want to pay attention to the county magistrate, so he looked at Zhang Wu and said, "Come with me." Then he turned and left.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Zhang Wu followed Long Er, and the two of them rode on horseback towards the city.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Lengyue gave the order to rest for one more day and set out again tomorrow.
When everyone heard the news, they were no longer in a hurry, only Leng Haohui became a little busy.
Because they had to stay here for one more day, Leng Haohui began to strictly guard the soldiers.
He was afraid that his soldiers would be bored, so he went to harass the people.
Leng Huaizhong recorded all the people's complaints and reflections in a book and handed it to Xiao Lengyue.
Xiao Lengyue looked at the thick record book and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
She flipped it open and took a look. Seeing that it only reflected the officials' failure to serve the people, her brows furrowed slightly.
Just at this moment, Long Er came with Zhang Wu.
When Zhang Wu saw the City Lord's Mansion, he lowered his head.
Long Er brought Zhang Wu into the mansion. When he saw Xiao Lengyue in the yard, he took Zhang Wu over.
When they were a little distance away from Xiao Lengyue, Long Er asked Zhang Wu to wait there.
Long Er walked over and bowed, "Master, the person is here."
"Bring it here."
Hearing this, Long Er nodded and came to Zhang Wu, "Let's go, the master wants to see you."
When Zhang Wu heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Thinking of the dragon he saw on the way here, he felt very nervous.
He knew that the person he was going to meet soon should be the legendary princess, the original new emperor.
Zhang Wu was a little excited, but he also knew that he couldn't be rude, so he tried to control his emotions and followed Long Er.
When he saw Long Er stop, Zhang Wu knelt down, bowed and said, "I greet your Highness."
"Get up."
When Zhang Wu heard the voice, he was slightly stunned, but thought he had misheard. After thanking Xiao Lengyue, he stood up.
Xiao Lengyue closed the paper, looked up, and saw Zhang Wu looking down.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Lengyue asked coldly: "Zhang Wu, why do you want to leave the escort team?"
