Two days later, on February 26, Xue Ao and Li Meng led 8,000 Taiyuan Army and 50,000 Henan Army arrived in Weishi County.

At this time, the rebels stationed in Yushi County had already learned of the news that the "Liaocheng Battle was defeated" and retreated south to Yanling County. Xue Ao and Li Meng recovered Yushi County without any effort.

During this period, Zhao Yu led nearly 10,000 Yingchuan troops to escort thousands of prisoners, including Zhou Gong, Xu Qian, Han Gu and other rebel generals, and slowly returned to Xuchang.

Originally, a general like Zhou Gong, who was defeated and captured, might not have escaped the fate of beheading. Fortunately, Zhao Yu received Xue Ao's permission in advance, so he asked Xue Ao to agree to convert thousands of rebels, including Zhou Gong and others into the "Yingchuan Liken Army".

Since Xue Ao agreed to this matter, Grand Tutor Chen and General Zou Zan of the Hu Ben did not ask about it. Zhao Yu naturally would not have made it stupidly, pretending that nothing had happened, and escorted Zhou Gong and others to save Yingchuan County.

By the way, since the Yingchuan Army suffered more than half of the casualties in Liang County, Xue Aosui did not ask Zhao Yu to transfer to the Weishi, but the achievements of "recovering Weishi County" were so important that the chariot and cavalry general would not be stingy to distribute part of the Yingchuan Army.

As for the Grand Master Chen, the General Zou Zan of the Hu Ben, and the General Wang Su and others, they went straight to Fugou County during this period, obviously not going to let go of the 70,000 rebels who escaped.

On February 29, Zhao Yu and Wang Qing led their troops back to Xuchang.

When they learned that Zhao Yu led his army back, the county magistrate Chen Lang, headed by Yingchuan County Chief, and the chief lieutenant office officials headed by Xun Yi, all went out of the city to greet each other. After all, they had learned about the battle situation in Liangcheng at this time and knew that Zhao Yu represented him in Yingchuan County and made great contributions to the fight against the rebels.

They also felt light on their faces.

Facing the warm greetings of the crowd, Zhao Yu greeted them for a moment, and then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my colleagues go out of the city to greet me. Please allow me to go back to the mansion and change my clothes first, and then reply to the county magistrate."

His approachable attitude naturally won the favor of everyone.

Afterwards, Zhao Yu ordered Wang Qing to temporarily command his troops and station troops outside the city, and he returned to his mansion first.

When he returned to his mansion, Zhao Yu saw Jingnu with the three maids and a group of servants from the mansion waiting in the mansion. When he saw Zhao Yu, Jingnu stepped forward to salute and called out, "Congratulations to the master for his triumphant success."

At this time, Jingnv's behavior seemed to be the wife of a wealthy family - of course, it was indeed the case.

It was not until the two were alone in the bedroom that Jingnu took off the mask on her face, and at the same time she also took off her "maternal wife" outfit, and supported Zhao Yu affectionately: "Young Master..."

Zhao Yuyi hugged Jingnv with some emotion.

I have to say that from the day he set out to Liangcheng County, he thought of Jingnu more than once a day, not for anything else, just because he was not used to Jingnu being not beside him.

However, this tenderness lasted only for a moment, because Jingnv quickly mentioned something that was a bit disgusting: "Young Master, did you catch that thief when you went to Liangcheng this time?"

The thief she mentioned was undoubtedly Tong Yan, the commander of Liangcheng, who ruined the Zhao family in Luyang.

Zhao Yu naturally would not hide the quiet girl and nodded heavily.

Seeing this, the face of Jingnv suddenly showed joy. Then, unforgettable hatred flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Please allow me to cut off the thief's head on behalf of the young master to comfort the spirit of the village marquis and his wife in heaven."

It has to be said that in Zhao Yu's memory, Jingnv rarely shows such an emotional side.

Of course, Zhao Yu knew that Jingnu's hatred for Tong Yan was no less than that of himself. He shook his head and said, "I can promise to take you there, but I won't promise you to kill him..."

When the quiet girl heard this, she immediately begged: "Young Master..."

"Stop saying it." Zhao Yu interrupted Jingnu's words, then held Jingnu's hand and raised it in front of him, comforting him: "Are you my wife? How can these hands be stained with blood?"

"But, its clothes are stained with blood..." Jingnv said weakly.

"I won't allow it in the future." Zhao Yu smiled and patted Jingnv's back of her hand, and said with a chuckle: "My mother has never taught you to kill, right?"

"..." Jingnv was speechless and lowered her head with some anxiety.

After a while, after Bi'er, Qing'er and Yao'er had boiled the hot water for washing, Zhao Yu walked forward and went to take a shower, leaving Jingnv sitting blankly at the dressing table in the room.

Eight years...

It has been eight years since the murderer who once destroyed the Zhao family in Luyang has finally fallen into their hands. Although the young master of his family did not allow her to kill the thief, Jingnv was still feeling excited.

But... do you really want to kill your enemy?

Jingnv opened a drawer on the dressing table in front of her with a hesitant look on her face and took out a dagger from it.

She pulled out the short sword and gently stroked the sharp sword body with her fingers.

This short sword was the weapon she used to protect her for the past few days.

Perhaps due to the experience so far, if she could not carry a weapon with her, she would never be at peace, even if there were many Black Tigers in their mansion as guards to protect the house.

But the dignified wife of the commander, carrying a sharp sword with her was so shocking, so Jingnv chose this short sword to protect her body.

Looking at the cold sword body, Jingnv suddenly felt that it would be great to use this short sword to end the thief's life...

"Husband, madam..."

Just when the quiet girl was in a trance, a depressed scream suddenly sounded inside the room.

Jingnv, who came to her senses, turned around and noticed that Bier had arrived in the house at some point. She was now covering her mouth with her hands and standing not far away with shock.

"What's wrong?" Jingnv calmly put the dagger into the sheath.

"No..." Bier shook her head vigorously.

Just now, she saw her beautiful lady with a terrible look...

Half an hour later, Zhao Yu finished washing up, changed his clothes, and went to the county magistrate's office, and replied to the county magistrate Li Min, and briefly told Li Min about the several battles he had experienced in leading his army to Liangcheng.

Even Zhao Yu said solemnly: "No trace of Cao Suo was found this time, and he was unable to kill him on behalf of the county magistrate. Please forgive me for your crime."

After hearing these words, Li Min, who was already very satisfied with Zhao Yu, was even more relieved.

County Governor Li felt more and more that Zhou Hu had no shortcomings except for his poor background and great ambitions, especially because he understood the worldly ways, he was much stronger than the bastard Cao Su, the former commander.

"pity……"

After glanced at the mask on Zhao Yu's face, Jung Li secretly felt regretful.

If the face of the subordinate in front of him had not been destroyed, he would have been determined to marry his daughter. After all, he also understood that with Zhou Hu's talent, his future future would be limitless.

What a pity, what a pity.

It was a pity that the governor Li asked Grandmaster Chen again.

Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth: "I heard from Master Chen that he will come to Xuchang to visit the county magistrate in a few days, but I hope I don't want to inform the master in advance, so as not to mobilize many troops for him... If Master Chen asks in the future, Master will hide it for the low-level position."

"Haha." County Governor Li was very happy.

He was happy that Grand Master Chen actually planned to visit him, and that he was happy that the loyalty of the subordinate in front of him.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Yu felt that the time was almost right, so he spoke: "Sir, General Xue was ordered by Grandmaster Chen to help me recover the lost county town. For this reason, he wanted to reorganize a county army and might return to Kunyang. He may not be in Xuchang these days, so he reported to him in advance."

"good."

Li Min nodded immediately without any suspicion.

The governor Li was becoming more and more at ease with Zhao Yu.

He didn't know that Zhao Yu was in a hurry to leave Xuchang, not entirely to expand the county army, but also to find an opportunity to solve Tong Yan's affairs. He wanted to ask Tong Yan about the truth about the incident from Tong Yan, before Xue Ao, Li Meng and others led their troops to Xuchang, and then killed the enemy to comfort his deceased parents' spirit in heaven.

The next day, February 30, Zhao Yu took Jingnv, Niu Heng, Gong Jiao and twenty black tigers to leave Xuchang in a carriage.

After two days of travel, the group finally arrived in Kunyang.

But at this time, Zhao Yu did not go straight to Kunyang County or Heihu Village’s main village, but came to Dongyi Mountain on the north side of Kunyang.

There is a post of the Heihu people on the Dongyi Mountain over there. The purpose of setting up is mainly to monitor the soldiers of the "Beitun" and "Dongtun". Heihu Village has arranged about a dozen families of brothers who have already started their own families here. Under special circumstances, these people will even connect with the Kunyang County Government to report some news.

Now, this post has been controlled by Zhao Yu's escort He Shun, and is used to secretly detain Tong Yan.

After all, Tong Yan's identity is extraordinary. Even if it is the leader of the Heihu Village, Zhao Yu dare not use it to detain Tong Yan, so as not to be revealed by ordinary Black Tigers. Even if it is all Black Tigers, they are still close and alienated. The group of people who Zhao Yu really cares about are only a small group led by Guo Da, Niu Heng, He Shun, Liu Tu and others. Even Wang Qing, Le Gui, and Zhao Yu have concealed something, let alone other people.

On the afternoon of the first day of March, Zhao Yu and his group arrived at Dongyi Mountain on the north side of Kunyang.

After leaving two black tigers to take care of the carriage, Zhao Yu took Jingnv, Niu Heng, Gong Jiao and his group to the mountain.

Not long after going up the mountain, the Black Tigers who were guarding the mountain learned about the arrival of Zhao Yu and his group. Immediately, He brought several Black Tigers to Zhao Yu.

Given that everyone around him was close to him, Zhao Yu didn't have to hide anything and asked directly: "Who is on the mountain?"

He Shun respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Yes. In order to prevent him from escaping, his subordinates tied him up with ropes and arranged eight brothers to guard him..."

“How many people know about this?”

"There are only twenty of us. The brothers on the mountain, I have ordered them to go back to the main village... On the main village, Guo Zhaicheng sent someone to ask about this. I explained to him that you want to detain someone here, so Guo Zhaicheng did not ask again."

"Hmm." Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Guo Da trusted him, and even if he learned about it, it was nothing. However, Guo Da was obviously very sensible. Seeing that He Shun had the intention to hide it, he immediately realized something and did not ask any further questions.

"Go up the mountain."

"yes."

After walking through a mountain path, Zhao Yu and his party, under He Shun's guidance, came to the outpost on Dongyi Mountain that looked like a small village.

Immediately, Zhao Yu and his group were led into a wooden house by He Shun.

Zhao Yu glanced inside, and then saw Tong Yan sitting cross-legged in a corner of the house, tied with ropes, and eight black tigers were staring motionlessly from beside him.

I have to say that He Shun is still very reliable in doing things, and is one of the few talents in Heihu Village who do things very carefully.

With a secret praise in his heart, Zhao Yu stepped into the house.

Perhaps because he heard the footsteps, Tong Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, immediately raised his head. When he saw Zhao Yu wearing a mask, he showed a look of shock and anger on his face, but because there was a ball of cloth in his mouth, even though he whined, Zhao Yu did not hear clearly at all.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t hear it. I guess it’s just a slander.

With a snorting, Zhao Yu ordered Gong Jiao, "Gong Jiao, take your brothers to guard the area, and no one is allowed to get close."

"yes."

Gong Jiao nodded and turned around and walked out of the house.

At this time, Zhao Yu Shiran sat down at the table in the house and ordered: "Bring it here."

"come over!"

The two black tigers immediately pulled Tong Yan up roughly and pressed him on the stool that Zhao Yu had faced.

"Let's loosen up for him."

"yes."

He Shun hugged his fists, pulled out the sword from his waist, and cut off the rope.
