"Oh, that's right." Qi Heng regained his composure and replied, "Early this morning, Wang Jiang and a few of his trusted aides hurried to Dong'an City, and then hurried back to the military camp. I heard that they brought someone back from the city."
"Wang Jiang has always been at odds with us, always trying to oppose us in everything. I was thinking, Brother Yu, you're in the city, so I wanted to ask you, do you know who Wang Jiang captured in the city?"
A fierce look flashed in Xiao Yunyu's eyes: "We caught a criminal."
Qi Heng said in confusion, "Huh?"
Xiao Yunyu's brows tightened slightly. "It's hard to explain this in a few words. I'm going to the military camp with you now, and we'll talk about it in detail on the way."
Upon hearing this, Li Nian hurriedly said, "I'll go with you."
Xiao Yunyu lowered his eyes to look at her, his low, magnetic voice filled with worry: "Niannian, the situation in the military camp is unclear. Wait for me at home. I promise I will bring the person back to you."
Li Nian recalled Xiao Yunyu's words about Wei Jiangyi being backed by someone even more powerful and influential. Furthermore, Wei Jiangyi's identity was not simple, so Wei Jiangyi was a very important witness. He must have a lot of evidence against the person above him.
In order to make the enemy confess and testify, besides torture and intimidation, another way is to use abnormal means.
Li Nian's delicate fingers grasped Xiao Yunyu's sleeve, and her clear eyes looked at him with determination: "Xiao Yunyu, take me with you, maybe I can help you."
Afraid that Xiao Yunyu would disagree, she twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, her brows becoming more serious: "Don't worry, I'll stay by your side and won't rashly do anything to cause trouble for you."
Xiao Yunyu's cold eyes were tinged with warmth, and he replied softly, "Okay, I'll take you with me."
Xiao Yunyu's troops were mostly stationed in Dong'an City, while those stationed outside the city were from the Qi family army and Wang Jiang's subordinates.
Ever since Xiao Yunyu asked Wang Jiang to guard Xidi City last time, the enemy troops in Dong'an City were defeated by Xiao Yunyu and his men, and turned back to attack Xidi City.
As a result, Xiao Yunyu's soldiers and the Qi family army ignored them after they recaptured Dong'an City.
After he was beaten to a pulp by the enemy and fled back to the garrison outside Dong'an City, he finally realized that he had been tricked by Xiao Yunyu!
Xiao Yunyu made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, using him as a target to attract the enemy troops and confuse the enemy.
In the end, he lost his wife and his army, but Xiao Yunyu came and tried to claim the first credit!
Wang Jiang, who had always been at odds with Xiao Yunyu, hated him even more because of this incident.
When he heard that Xiao Yunyu and Qi Heng came to his territory, he only thought about taking the opportunity to vent his anger.
In order not to waste time, Li Nian still rode one horse with Xiao Yunyu, while the others each rode one horse.
Her back rested on his warm chest, and the man's arms circled around her body, grabbing the reins, his hot breath whispering in her ears.
"Hold on tight, we're off."
Li Nian heard the magnetic tone of his Beijing accent drilling into her eardrums, and the familiar breath wrapped around her like a silk thread.
She pursed her lips uncomfortably and replied softly, "Oh."
Xiao Yunyu's eyes fell on her ear, which was red as blood. His throat felt like it was burning with fire. He resisted the urge to hold it in his mouth and moved his gaze forward.
"drive--"
Xiao Yunyu raised the corners of his lips and rode his horse very fast.
Li Nian felt that the man behind her was obviously in an abnormal physical condition, and her heartbeat was as fast as the horse's.
No, she can't be lazy anymore!
She wants to learn horse riding! Next time she wants to ride a horse by herself!
When they arrived at the gate of the military camp, they were immediately stopped by soldiers with guns at their sides.
"Stop! This is a military camp, no trespassing!" the soldier shouted.
Qi Heng rode on his horse, cursing from above: "You are blind, can you see who I am? Call Wang Jiang out!"
Xiao Yunyu calmly took out the token, his voice languid but cold, "I'm Xiao Yunyu, and I have something important to discuss with your General Wang. Report immediately."
Several soldiers looked at each other suspiciously, and then one soldier went in to report.
Without letting them wait long, Wang Jiang strode over with his men.
At this time, Xiao Yunyu and the others had already dismounted, and Li Nian was protected by Xiao Yunyu behind him.
Seeing Xiao Yunyu, Wang Jiang sneered contemptuously. "Hey, what's the wind blowing today? You actually brought Master Xiao here? What benefits do you want from me?"
Xiao Yunyu didn't waste any time talking to him and directly stated his purpose: "The man you arrested from the city today is an important criminal. He is connected to many cases in the city. I came to understand the situation."
Wang Jiang raised his chin and sneered, "What important criminal? How come I don't know? Xiao Yunyu, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a little power now."
Xiao Yunyu had anticipated this. Since Wang Jiang took the person away early in the morning while his men were away, he must have been prepared.
Now, he naturally won't let anyone go easily.
Qi Heng shouted, "Wang Jiang, you led people to take the serious criminal away from the city jail, and now you are trying to stop us from investigating. Are you hiding something, afraid that this serious criminal will confess something?"
Wang Jiang's face immediately turned pale upon hearing this, and he glared at them angrily: "Don't slander me! I'm dedicated to the court and loyal to it!"
At this time, there was a commotion in the military camp. A soldier hurried over, came to Wang Jiang, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Wang Jiang's expression suddenly changed, but he immediately pretended to be calm: "Hurry up and leave, you are not welcome here."
Xiao Yunyu's eyes turned cold and he took a step forward: "Wang Jiang, what exactly are you trying to hide? I must see this criminal today."
Wang Jiang waved his hand and the soldiers surrounded him instantly, creating a tense atmosphere.
Wang Jiang said viciously, "Xiao Yunyu, don't force me to do anything. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xiao Yunyu's eyes were filled with coldness, his hand on the hilt of his sword, his tone defiant and cold: "Wang Jiang, you openly obstructed the investigation, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the court? If you know what's good for you, get out of the way immediately."
Wang Jiang gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly with anger: "Xiao Yunyu, don't act recklessly just because you have some backing. This military camp is my territory. If I say you can't enter, you can't enter!" He waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to narrow the encirclement.
Xiao Yunyu's expression was stern, his unruly aura fully displayed. "Wang Jiang, if you continue to obstruct me today, I will report this matter in detail to the imperial court. Then, you will be punished!"
A confidant beside Wang Jiang leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Captain, this Xiao Yunyu is not easy to mess with. If we really provoke him, we might..." Wang Jiang glared at the confidant impatiently and cursed in a low voice, "Shut up, you are a coward!"
