Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 346 is dead!
Yu Qinghuan pouted: "You have fifteen secret guards and one shadow guard. The names are really random. They are called like this from zero to fifteen. Uncle Lu in Qingyi Lane is also called Feiyu."

Changsun Tao explained patiently: "These are not just numbers, they also represent the scope of responsibilities. They are my true confidants. Although they are hidden in the dark, they are the sum of my sphere of influence."

Yu Qinghuan held her face and asked, "What is Ah Liu responsible for?"

Changsun Tao said: "He is the most conspicuous existence, but he is also the most secretive one. He has always been in charge of the intelligence sources and channels of Prince Qi's palace."

Yu Qinghuan immediately frowned and said, "What is your intention in arranging Ah Liu to be with me?!"

Changsun Tao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you have any intentions towards me from the beginning?"

"How could it be?" Yu Qinghuan said immediately, "My only thought at the time was, 'Why is this man so good? I must get him'!"

Changsun Tao picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. At the same time, the corners of his lips curved up, like a shy big boy, and the roots of his ears turned slightly red.

Finally, he cleared his throat and said, "Although I have been on guard against you, I have never harmed you."

Yu Qinghuan covered her neck, as if she was still frightened: "You forgot, you strangled my neck."

Changsun Tao smiled: "My beloved, are you questioning my martial arts?"

Yu Qinghuan nodded sincerely: "That's right. If you wanted to kill me, I wouldn't be able to survive now, but injury is injury, no matter how minor or severe it is, it is not allowed."

Changsun Tao rubbed her hair: "I will never do it again."

As night falls, the river is clear and shallow, and the night is eerily quiet.

Suddenly, the people in the annex were knocked loudly.

"Help!"

"Help!"

"Help me..."

The shrill cry for help cut through the silent cold night.

The fire light came on, and the guards from the annex came out to inspect the situation.

"what happened?"

"Help...help! People are dead, everything is dead, everything is dead!"

The person who came was an old man of about 50 years old. Under the firelight, you could see that his skin was very dark and his clothes were ragged. His rough hands were covered with blood and soil, and he looked very embarrassed. He had a lot of scratches on his body when he fled.

It can be seen that he is an honest farmer.

Seeing that the old man was shaking with fear and speaking incoherently, the guard quickly comforted him: "Old man, this is the annex of Prince Qi's palace. Don't be afraid yet. If you have anything to say, tell us and we will protect you."

Then, the old man was led to a servant's room in the outer courtyard. One of the guards quickly went to notify Ah Liu. The others protected the old man and gave him a cup of hot tea. Some guards checked his wounds.

After a while, Ah Liu came over wearing a big cloak.The guard quickly saluted: "Sixth Master!"

Ah Liu made a gesture to indicate that everyone should not be formal, then sat on a chair and asked: "Old man, what happened?"

The old man heard that this was the annex of Prince Qi's palace, and saw that the guards were all wearing knives. After drinking hot tea, his eyes became a little brighter, as if he had survived a disaster.

"Sixth Master, help!" The old man knelt down, as if remembering something extremely frightening, and said with lingering fear: "The grass people are the shepherds in the nearby village. Because the vegetation withers in winter, they have no choice but to drive the sheep deep into the Cuiping Mountain Forest. Only then can I encounter some withered grass and bamboo that will not wither. In recent days, the grass people have been herding sheep in the mountains and forests. They relieved themselves for a long time today. When they turned around, they found that the sheep had been stolen. So the grass people searched deep in the forest and found blood... There is blood everywhere..."

At this point, the old man was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Ah Liu waited quietly. After a long time, the old man had the ability to speak again: "All the sheep of the grassroots were killed... In the small river near the corpse... there were several human corpses floating on the ground. On the beach, their lower bodies were soaked in the water... When the grass and grass people found them, they were still warm, but they were dead and no longer breathing!"

The old man was terrified, as if no matter how much time passed, he would never be able to forget that scene.

"The grass, the grass people don't know if those people are sheep thieves... but they are all dead! Whether they are sheep or people, they are all dead! The grass people were so scared that they ran away... until they saw the light of this house..."

"His Royal Highness King Qi is a great hero in the eyes of the people. It was not until he heard his name that the common people felt relieved! Those sheep were the lifeblood of their livelihood. The common people didn't know what they had broken. Not only were the sheep gone, but also I still don’t know if this old life can be saved... Please help Mr. Liu!"

Ah Liu pondered for a moment and said: "My father-in-law, do you remember where the body was found? I will send someone to check. In addition, what I want to know is where the incident happened? Are all my father-in-law's sheep dead? And those people Is it a knife wound or a bite wound from a wild animal? Although it makes me think about this embarrassing memory, only by knowing more information can I ensure the safety of the people I send out. "

"The sheep... are dead... they are all dead! They are all over the ground! Injured... injured..." The old man said calmly, lost in memories. He said in horror, "The stab wound is a stab wound! The sheep was stabbed by a knife. Stabbed to death, and those people either had their throats cut or their chests stabbed, so terrible... You can find that place just by going up the river..."

Ah Liu frowned and asked: "Old man, how many sheep do you have? Why do you need to drive the sheep deep into the forest?"

"There are 58 sheep among the grass people, including twelve lambs." The old man stumbled and said, "Because most families in Zhuangzi raise sheep, we divided the sheep grazing areas. If the grass people have many sheep, they are assigned to that area."

Ah Liu nodded and ordered: "Jiang Yong, ask thirty people to go and have a look. If there is anything unusual, send a signal immediately. Finding my father-in-law's sheep is the most important thing, and inform the government of the rest."

The head guard named Jiang Yong left with his men. Ah Liu asked his father-in-law to stay, ordered a few people to guard him, and then left.

As soon as Ah Liu stepped out of the house, another person came on horseback. He jumped off the horse and knocked on the door of the villa with a quick voice.

"My lord, it's not good! Zhuangzi on the other side of the mountain is surrounded by wolves! Please send someone to help. If Zhuangzi can't stop it, the wolves will come here soon."

All this news was delivered to Changsun Tao by Ah Liu.

"What's wrong?" Yu Qinghuan opened her hazy eyes and asked Changsun Tao who was getting dressed.

"Zhuangzi on the other side of the mountain is surrounded by wolves. I must rush over immediately to take a look to avoid hurting the people." Changsun Tao said while getting dressed.

Yu Qinghuan rubbed his eyes: "I'll go with you."

"No need," Changsun Tao held her cheek with one hand, "It's cold outside, so you don't have to get up. Just warm the bed and wait for me to come back. Cang Wu and Cang He will be left to you."

Yu Qinghuan said: "I am protected by the Pearl, and ordinary people cannot get close to me. You take Cang Wu and Cang He with you. The wolves attacking the village were not what we expected. Be careful."
