Chapter 108 Little Clues
It is said that Huo Qingsong's appearance is not inferior to that of Liao Wenbo, and he is much more masculine than Liao Wenbo. But Huo Qingsong always has a straight face, which gives people a very cold feeling. Now his face is like Huo Qingsong covered with black cloth, and his whole body still exudes a chill, which is really scary.
Qingya looked a little shaky under the direct look of Huo Qingsong. After Huo Qingsong finished speaking, Qingya bit her lip and saluted him, and immediately got into Liao Wenbo's carriage. However, whether Qingya listens to Huo Qingsong's 'suggestion', that's another story.
Watching the carriage slowly go away, Huo Qingsong turned his head to look at Huo Bao. Huo Bao immediately pointed in several directions and quickly told Huo Qingsong what had just happened and the way for the man in black to retreat. Although Huo Qingsong was listening, he knew from the change of his face that he was suppressing himself.
When Huo Bao finished speaking, Huo Qingsong quickly said, "Five people in a team, chase in those directions. After Lieutenant Fang brings someone, he will pick you up.
"Yes--" The words fell, and the soldiers had been trained to run quickly into the woods.
Huo Qingsong didn't even look at those government soldiers. He walked around slowly and checked every place. Finally, Huo Qingsong carefully checked the place where the man in black began to rush out. In the meantime, Fang Zhe rushed here with several troops. Under Huo Bao's second brief description, Fang Zhe did not disturb Huo Qingsong and assigned his own manpower to pick up the previous people. Then, Fang Zhe divided the rest of the people into several teams again and searched in more directions. After that, Fang Zhe also looked around like Huo Qingsong to see if he could find any clues.
"Fang Zhe, come here and have a look." Huo Qingsong knew that Fang Zhe had come, but he had been checking and didn't talk to him.
Fang Zhe saw Huo Qingsong squatting in the grass and immediately ran over with Huo Bao. On the mud land in front of Huo Qingsong, there is a color that is not in harmony with the surroundings. Look at this small piece of crushed grass, it should have been stepped on and rubbed off the soles of the shoes.
"What kind of powder does it seem to be?" Fang Zhe touched a little bit with his index finger, looked close to his eyes carefully, and continued, "However, I can't recognize what it is for the time being."
Huo Qingsong nodded, straightened up and said in a low voice, "Take it back to Zhe Chongfu and find out what it is as soon as possible."
"Yes." Fang Zhe recruited a government soldier, carefully dug out this small place, and returned to Zhe Chongfu with Huo Qingsong.
As soon as Huo Qingsong entered Zhechong Mansion, he asked where Lv Hong was and hurriedly walked over. Although Lv Hong is only Lv Xianger's brother and is not so familiar with Huo Qingsong, Huo Qingsong is really worried about his injury, and I don't know why. When Huo Qingsong just walked into a small courtyard, he saw Chaoxia standing at the door with a blank face. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chaoxia turned her head. The calmness in her eyes made Huo Qingsong unable to see anything, but it also shocked him secretly.
Chaoxia waited for Huo Qingsong to approach and asked gently, "Is Xiang'er really kidnapped?"
Hearing this, Huo Qingsong looked slightly stunned before he slowly nodded. Chaoxia looked at Huo Qingsong for a long time before saying affirmatively, "I don't know where Xiang'er was arrested now, right?"
"Not bad. However, we have found some clues, and I believe there will be good news soon. Huo Qingsong was very uncomfortable when he thought of today's event, as if his strategy was expected by the other party. It can also be said that it was Huo Qingsong's careless intention that made Lu Xianger be abluted. If he had been more careful and sent some government soldiers to escort Lv Xianger, these things would definitely not have happened.
The change in Huo Qingsong's eyes, Chaoxia saw it very clearly. Therefore, what she wanted to say was finally changed to: "In this case, I hope you can tell me as soon as you get the good news."
"Yes." Huo Qingsong felt the gaze of Chaoxia in his heart, nodded and raised his feet and continued to walk into the room. Chaoxia did not stop or say anything again, allowing Huo Qingsong to enter the house. She herself went to the pavilion in the corner of the yard and sat down, waiting for the news in the room.
After Lv Hong was sent to Zhechong Mansion by the government soldiers, Chaoxia soon got the news. When she rushed to Lv Hong's side, Lv Hong was in a dizziness and had not yet woken up. Fortunately, a very old man who seemed to have good medical skills, that is, Lang Zhong, who had diagnosed and treated her before, quickly came to Zhechong Mansion.
After seeing Lv Hong, he brushed his beard. First, he looked at him with a smile in his eyes for a while, which made Chaoxia confused. Perhaps he felt Chaoxia's eyes. Lao Langzhong mentioned that he had treated typhoid fever for Lv Hong before and recognized the two brothers and sisters of the Lv family. Chaoxia also heard Lv Xianger talk about this old man, so she withdrew her eyes.
An hour later, Huo Qingsong and Lao Langzhong came out of the house. When both of them saw the morning glow in the yard, they both nodded to her and continued to walk out of the yard together. Chaoxia found Lao Langzhong's relaxed look and understood that Lv Hong was not in danger of his life, and she was relieved.
When she came to the door of Lv Hong's room, Chaoxia found that two government soldiers were changing blood-stained robes for Lv Hong, and stopped outside the door. When they came out of the room, Chaoxia raised her foot and entered the room again and came to Lv Hong's bed.
At this time, Lv Hong's upper body was naked, most of which were wrapped in cloth strips, and his face was as pale as when Chaoxia was injured. However, Lv Hong's expression is not as calm as that when Chaoxia was injured. Even in the dizziness, Lv Hong frowned tightly, as if there was something difficult to understand.
How can Chaoxia not know what Lv Hong is thinking? Like Lv Hong, she is worried about Lv Xianger. But Lv Xianger was abduction and didn't know where she was taken. At this moment, Chaoxia went to look for it and didn't know where to find it. With a slight sigh, Chaoxia covered Lv Hong with a thin quilt and was ready to get up and leave.
But Lv Hong, who was dizzy, seemed to be aware of it. He grabbed Chaoxia's hand, opened his eyes wide and shouted, "Xiang'er... Hey..." As soon as Lv Hong was about to get up, he felt the huge pain in his right armpit all over his body, which forced him to shout and lie back again.
"Brother Hong, don't move around. Your wound has just been drugged. You have to lie down and take care of your wounds. Chaoxia waited for Lv Hong to reach out to cover his armpits, and immediately grabbed his hand to prevent him from moving.
The indescribable pain made Lv Hong wake up quickly. When he heard the familiar voice, he looked carefully. Finding that it was the morning glow that had been missing for many days, Lv Hong was excited again. But as soon as he wanted to move, he found that Chaoxia's eyes immediately swept over, and Lv Hong was honest.
However, Lv Hong thought that Lv Xianger was abducted in front of him. He couldn't help but have a sore nose and muttered, "Sister Chaoxia, I didn't protect Xiang'er well and let her be kidnapped. I'm not a good brother. I didn't protect Xiang'er at the first time. I..." With that, the corners of Lv Hong's eyes were actually wet, and I couldn't go on.
Chaoxia understands what kind of treatment Lv Xianger, who is most worried about being abluted, will be treated. He didn't dare to think or say anything, so he was so sad. But now, what Chaoxia can do is to stabilize Lv Hong's heart and let him calm down to recover from his wounds. Otherwise, Lv Hong's injury is not easy to get better on this hot day.
Thinking about it, Chaoxia lighten her voice: "Brother Hong, don't worry now. Those people just want to get the soju process, and they will definitely be polite to Xiang'er at the beginning. Moreover, General Huo has found some clues. I believe that we will save Xiang'er soon, and Xiang'er will definitely come back safely.
"Sister Chaoxia, General Huo really found a clue. Didn't you lie to me?" Listening to Chaoxia's words, Lv Hong's eyes lit up. But he still couldn't believe it. He looked at Chaoxia and waited for her affirmation again. Now Lv Hong doesn't look a little stable, just like a child without ideas.
Chaoxia thought about Huo Qingsong's words and nodded, "Don't Brother Hong know me? When did I tell a lie?"
"Oh, Sister Chaoxia, I understand." Lv Hong's heart was a little calm, but when he thought of something, he raised his eyes and said, "Sister Chaoxia, go and see if General Huo has any news about Xiang'er. I will definitely recover. Just let me know as soon as there is any news from Chaoxia.
"I'm relieved that you think so. If you recover from your injury, I'll go to the front and have a look. When Chaoxia heard the footsteps, she understood that the two soldiers who took care of Lv Hong came back. Someone took care of Lv Hong and let him recover from his wounds honestly. Chaoxia could also find clues to save Lv Xianger at ease.
Just as Chaoxia walked out of the yard, the government soldiers who followed the 'Chen Wangyu Party' outside Jiangling City also came back one after another. Seeing their guilty look, Huo Qingsong couldn't help but feel anxious and suddenly got up and walked around in the study.
Seeing Huo Qingsong's 'wind and rain' face, Fang Zhe stepped forward and said bravely, "General, although I didn't catch up with the 'Chen Wangyu Party', I have confidence and affirmation. They must be in Jiangling Mansion and not hiding outside the city.
"Oh, tell me about it." Hearing Fang Zhe's words, Huo Qingsong raised his head and looked at him in an instant. Fang Zhe swallowed a mouthful of water and said carefully, "There are mountains and wilderness within a hundred miles to the north of Jiangling, and there is no hiding place that can accommodate more than ten people. They can't hide in the mountains without being found by their subordinates. Moreover, the powder found by the general can't come from the mountains.
"You mean, they are still in the city of Jiangling Mansion, where there is a safe hiding place." After saying that, Huo Qingsong lowered his head and meditated something. After a long time, he raised his head again and said, "You still have to ask someone to clear what those powders are as soon as possible. I'll go to Lord Assassin's mansion. During this period, if you find anything, you must send someone to look for me.
