He chased after him all the way to the front of the carriage. "General Gu, please wait! I have something to say!"
Gu Qian: "Speak your mind."
Qiu Yan looked at Tang Yi intently, wondering why he was looking for Jiang Liu at this time.
Tang Yi tried his best to control his swaying body and calm himself down.
——————————
Since Zheng Hong captured Chu Tian and never returned, Tang Yi sent two constables to search for his whereabouts.
The two constables searched the mountains and forests on the outskirts of the city thoroughly, and finally found traces of a fight at a cliff.
Contemplating the worst-case scenario, the two of them made a special trip to the bottom of the cliff to search for the person, but to no avail.
Unable to find the person, they went to Huaiyuan.
Upon arriving, they discovered that Huaiyuan City had a new garrison commander, and they were turned away at the gate.
The gates of Huaiyuan City were tightly closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.
They went up to inquire and were told that bandits had broken into the city and the prefect was going to close the gates to catch them.
The two constables returned to Baiyang to report back, and immediately told Tang Yi about the bandits who had appeared in Huaiyuan.
Tang Yi initially dismissed the news.
If there are security problems in Huaiyuan, the prefect will take care of them.
However, the thought of Chu Tian made him restless.
This person once attempted to steal the official seal and smuggle government grain right under his nose.
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that the bandits who broke into Baiyang City were this person.
He had long suspected that this person was a spy from an enemy country, and that if he did not eliminate him, he would eventually become a disaster.
Therefore, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
When he arrived at the city gate of Huaiyuan, just like the two yamen runners before him, he was stopped at the gate by the guards and not allowed to enter.
Thinking of capturing the thief, Tang Yi personally reported his official position.
This act of reporting brought him trouble, and he deeply regretted his actions.
He was kindly "invited" into Huaiyuan City.
However, as soon as he entered, there were several swift sounds, and with a swift movement of the knife, his subordinates were beheaded.
The bloody scene terrified Tang Yi, and even now, just thinking about it sends chills down his spine.
Of course, more than anything, it was anger!
Fortunately, fate was kind to him; those villains did not take his life.
"Lord Tang, be careful!" With a cry of alarm, Zheng Hong suddenly appeared and blocked Tang Yi's path.
Zheng Hong was frustrated; they had arrived too late and had failed to save their other brothers.
Qiu Dafu was right after all; Lord Tang has indeed arrived.
"Grab them..." The guards swarmed forward and attacked Tang Yi and Zheng Hong.
The two stood back to back, Tang Yi's face ashen. "What happened?"
While protecting Tang Yi, Zheng Hong whispered, "Huaiyuan has fallen into enemy hands and needs rescue! I will get you out of here right away."
"Go out...?" Tang Yi's mind went blank.
Zheng Hong: "Don't worry, we'll get out."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure appeared on the city wall.
"Stop!" The man at the city gate, his black hair tied up high, exuded an air of authority that was more imposing than before.
Because Jiang Liu had deliberately disguised him, his appearance was quite different from before.
Tang Yi looked up at the man on the city wall. "Who is he?"
This man looks very familiar.
Upon closer inspection, he was stunned.
Qiu Dafu and Tang Yi exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away.
"Qiu Dafu." Tang Yi was about to ask Zheng Hong when Zheng Hong stopped him.
"My lord, it's a long story."
Now is not the time to talk.
Tang Yi glanced at his disheveled appearance again. He absolutely refused to admit that he had been utterly humiliated by Qiu Dafu, this country bumpkin.
