Commander Liu is one of the confidants of the Lord of Lanzhou.
He was sent to Hongcheng to pick up Chu Jinshen and others because of his loyalty.
Even if he didn't pick up the person, he would pass the message back if he met Xu Heyan.
However, since General Weiyuan and Lord Zhu came.
The martial law in Hongcheng is one thing.
Commander Liu keenly discovered that they seemed...
Reducing his power.
Logically speaking, the garrison is the garrison of Lanzhou.
Even if General Weiyuan and Lord Zhu needed people, they would not take the garrison troops so obviously.
But now Commander Liu discovered that something was wrong.
He couldn't help but suspect that something was wrong with the Lord of Lanzhou.
Especially when he saw Xu Hesheng appear, his suspicion reached its peak.
Liu Tong first pretended to have nothing to do, and then arranged his subordinates.
Pretending to listen to General Weiyuan's orders.
But secretly, he asked someone to send the letter out under the cover of night.
Commander Liu was thinking this when he saw General Weiyuan coming over.
He saluted quickly.
"Meet the General."
General Weiyuan waved his hand and said, "Commander Liu, you are familiar with the bandits in Hongcheng, right?"
Commander Liu certainly knew this, as the Lord of Lanzhou had asked him to bring people here many times before.
But the mountains are winding.
In order to hide, the bandits built countless secret passages.
Every time I came, I failed to catch them.
After several times, the Lord of Lanzhou lost his temper.
After all, it costs a lot of money to send out troops.
Lanzhou is not a particularly wealthy province, otherwise there would not be so many bandits.
But these bandits still have some sense.
On weekdays, he does not easily harass the people of Hongcheng.
Even the passing merchants were released if possible.
These bandits are very smart and can tell who is the big businessman at a glance.
But they don't steal much each time. After all... you have to take it slow and steady!
"These bandits act haphazardly and are difficult to find."
Commander Liu was confused as to why General Weiyuan suddenly asked about the bandits.
He subconsciously looked at Hongcheng and suddenly remembered.
The bandits rely on Hongcheng for survival. Now that something has happened in Hongcheng, it is impossible for these bandits to be completely unharmed.
However, they haven't shown up yet...
Maybe he has died in the mountains.
"This is my first time in Hongcheng, so I don't know the way around."
"You've been in Lanzhou for so many years, so you're much more familiar with it than I am."
After General Weiyuan said these few words, Commander Liu immediately understood what he meant.
But understanding doesn't mean speaking it out.
We can only pretend to be confused together.
"Yes, the mountains in Hongcheng are extremely difficult to navigate. They are full of twists and turns, and even the locals can't find the way."
Commander Liu must have some brains to be able to get this far.
The meaning of his words was very clear.
It’s true that I’m the commander of Lanzhou, but even the people of Hongcheng can’t figure out how to navigate this mountain road.
Not to mention him.
General Weiyuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
He pointed directly at the garrison on the side and said: "Something happened in Hongcheng."
"I guess they can't escape from the mountains either. Commander Liu, take advantage of this opportunity to capture all those bandits."
"Isn't it joyful?"
Commander Liu's expression changed slightly, but his eyes turned cold.
"That's true, General, but I've had people go up there before."
"I have no idea where these bandits are hiding!"
At this time, Lord Zhu also came over.
Although he has another master.
But the Hongcheng incident was just their means.
There was no intention to spread the epidemic in Hongcheng.
So these bandits must be dealt with.
"Although they are hard to find, they can't escape far now."
"If the disease spreads, then this matter... will be difficult to say for sure."
There was a threat hidden in Mr. Zhu's words.
Commander Liu was speechless and could only hold on.
"Then... I'll take someone up there to take a look."
I wish you all the best.
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Liu. Please don't let me and General Weiyuan down."
Commander Liu saluted respectfully.
But there was coldness in his eyes.
After waiting for him to take his men away, Lord Zhu looked at General Weiyuan.
"What are you waiting for, General?"
General Weiyuan was also stunned: "What does Lord Zhu mean?"
He snorted softly: "Why, if the disease spreads, neither you nor I will have a good ending."
"Then Commander Liu will naturally be infected with the disease, and we'll all be burned together when the time comes."
General Weiyuan understood the meaning of his words.
"Then why doesn't Master Zhu go?"
General Weiyuan was somewhat unhappy.
He himself doesn't actually have much ability.
Even the title of "General Weiyuan" was obtained through other people's reward for their merits.
There's nothing I can do about it. I was born well and have a strong family to support me.
Lord Zhu didn't want to offend him, but he was also unwilling to take people up the mountain.
"Of course it would be best if General Weiyuan went in person. After all... His Majesty trusts you the most."
Lord Zhu used a combination of coaxing and deception to make General Weiyuan extremely satisfied.
"Master Zhu's words are always pleasant to the ears."
Mr. Zhu just smiled and said nothing.
Not only does he speak nicely, he even kills people... without shedding blood.
By the time General Weiyuan comes down, everything will be considered smooth.
If you can't get down...
Then he could only write a letter with tears in his eyes, saying that the Hongcheng bandits were too difficult to deal with.
General Weiyuan packed up his things and went up the mountain with a group of people.
I hope you can relax for a while.
He looked at Xu Hesheng who was standing beside him.
There was no expression on his face, he just stood there.
"I heard that Master Xu escaped alive thanks to the help of his family's assassins."
I wish you a good knife.
But Xu Hesheng didn't dare to offend him.
"What the adults said is that I raised him since he was a child and saved his life before. Now I have paid him back."
Lord Zhu chuckled, "A life for a life, interesting, interesting."
He kept saying the word "interesting".
Only Xu Hesheng, who was standing aside, managed to force a smile.
"Sir, let's go on..."
Lord Zhu's laughter stopped: "Next, the next step is naturally to burn the city."
"Licheng couldn't be kept back then, so naturally, Hongcheng can't be kept either."
Xu Hesheng didn't care at all and just looked ahead.
"This Hongcheng... used to have quite a few people there."
There are quite a few people in this city now.
At first they thought it was the government coming to rescue them.
Who knew that as soon as he went out, he was beaten back with a whip.
He beat her while saying it was bad luck.
They were not even allowed to go out and were locked up at home.
The people then realized something was wrong, but it was too late to regret.
Xu Hesheng and Lord Zhu were standing on the street in Hongcheng and talking.
And a small figure hiding in the corner moved slightly.
Listen carefully to what they say.
Wait until the two people walk away.
The figure then stumbled and ran in the opposite direction.
His eyes were full of hatred.
