Chapter 63 Parting
The atmosphere seemed to freeze at this moment, Lu Lingjue subconsciously wanted to refute, but was blocked by Liu Xiaoran's silent eyes.
"Your Highness, King Ning, the disaster of the Jiang Prefecture this time was caused by the cunning of traitors who spread the virus. Even if Governor Du knew about it in advance, it would be impossible to prevent it, and afterward, it would have been—" Liu Xiaoran frowned, looked at Ji Jingchen, and thenThe other directly interrupted his words.
"Yan Xuan, I know that you and Du Cishi have many intersections in the past, and now I can't bear it, but it is a fact that the Jiang Prefecture suffered heavy losses, and the person who possessed the epidemic poison has not yet been brought to justice, and my Yin Dynasty is still in danger.The governor of Jiang Prefecture cannot escape the blame." Ji Jingchen tapped lightly on the table with his long and slender fingers, "This is the imperial father's handwriting, and you must not be aware of its weight."
Liu Xiaoran's eyes darkened, Ji Jingchen's words had a coercive meaning.
"Inspector Du has contributed a lot to guarding the frontier for me. Presumably, the emperor will also be lenient as appropriate, but this trip to Capital City is also indispensable." Ji Jingchen continued slowly, then chuckled again, and took a picture.Pai Yipao then stood up, "It seems that the king of Japan is here today, and you are destined not to finish this meal in peace. If so, you won't stay."
When approaching the door, Ji Jingchen suddenly said: "Yan Xuan, the court is no longer what it used to be, staying out of things..." He squinted his eyes and shook his head slightly, "It's just your extravagant wish."
When Ji Jingchen finally left, Lu Lingjue couldn't hold back, patted the table and stood up: "It's unreasonable, the imperial court's reinforcements came so slowly, but they still have to deal with Mr. Du. If Mr. Du didn't support him with all his strength, I'm afraid we'd have to wait for themBy the time we arrive, Jiang Prefecture will already be full of corpses!"
Su Mu was also in a depressed mood, even a little unbelievable.He had already heard about Du Han's past deeds in the past few days in the city, and he knew what a courageous and accomplished veteran general he was, but now he was being escorted back to the capital because of some unforeseen disasters.On trial, how can this be accepted.
Inevitably, he fell into self-doubt whether all this was caused by himself.
Liu Xiaoran's expression was also not good-looking, but after Lu Lingjue finished jumping, he seemed to have regained his usual composure, and he spoke with a chill of three feet: "This is His Majesty's order, so be careful when speaking outside."
Although Lu Lingjue was still a little unconvinced, she also knew how terrible her complaint would be if someone took advantage of it, so she could only reluctantly keep her mouth shut.
The meal was still not finished happily in the end, from the high spirits at the beginning to the thoughts of each other when they left, even Lu Lingjue showed a rare depression that could not be moved by some delicious food.
At the door of the room, Bai Zhi saw all three of them walking back with sullen faces, and immediately became curious.
"What's the matter, three sons, what can make the three of you so unhappy together?" She looked at several people in turn for a while, and naturally pointed to the one who couldn't hide the secret to answer, "Tell me?"
Lu Lingjue wrinkled her face and thought about it for a long time. She seemed to be at a loss as to how to express herself in order to appear less rebellious. In the end, she could only state the facts dryly: "His Royal Highness King Ning is going to bring Lord Du back to Capital City for trial.Withdrew."
Bai Zhi was quite calm when she heard about it, she said "Oh" and asked, "Is that why you are unhappy?"
She suddenly smiled and patted Lu Lingjue on the head.
"You guys, don't give everyone the young people's competitive mentality."
"Brother Du told me a few days ago that even if this matter can't be resolved, it's not a bad thing if the court wants to punish him and cut his official position." Bai Zhi's tone was gentle and calm, "For him to fight like thisFor people on the battlefield, sitting in the government office all day is boring."
"But if someone insists on this matter, then—"
"No." Liu Xiaoran said suddenly, he seemed to know what Lu Lingjue was going to say next, "Although the Jiang Prefecture's disaster is serious this time, King Ning came here in person because he was worried about people's livelihood, but why did Cui Ming, the minister of the Ministry of War, come here?"
Su Mu reacted quickly. The central civil servants inspected the place, and they should be sent by the Yushitai. The Minister of the Ministry of War is an irrelevant relationship. The reason for coming here is naturally not simple, but he is not very clear about the differences between the officials.There is an entangled relationship, so can only guess here.
Lu Lingjue suddenly realized after thinking for a long time, and blurted out, "Is he here to replace—"
"Yes." Liu Xiaoran sighed softly, "From the time the news of Jiang Prefecture came back, they should have already made a decision."
Lu Lingjue suddenly became dejected. Even with his personality, he had to admit that the situation was irreversible.
He grumbled and complained about the unpredictable changes in the court, and then went back to the room in silence.
"Going back to Beijing is just to let Mrs. Du give up his seat. You don't have to worry too much." Liu Xiaoran walked to Su Mu's side, and saw that the latter's expression was still full of exhaustion, "Go and rest."
All three of them didn't sleep well that night. Jiang Prefecture's improvement should be something to be happy about, but they didn't expect to face such a terrible thing now.
Su Mu even felt a bit of guilt for no reason. If Jiang Prefecture hadn't had such disasters, Du Han would have made countless achievements in the first half of his life. If he could survive the past few years of Jiang Prefecture safely, he would be considered retired.The outcome of returning to Beijing for trial.
Thinking that Du Han was still speaking for him in front of King Ning yesterday, Su Mu felt even more sad.
A sleepless night.
Two days later was the day when King Ning set off. At this time, the Jiang Prefecture had almost completely returned to its original state.
Just as Bai Zhi said, when Du Han left, apart from being a little bit reluctant to the people of Jiang Prefecture, he didn't care about the governor. When he saw Lu Lingjue pouted as if he was about to cry, he smiled heartilyHe smiled, patted Lu Lingjue on the shoulder and said, "Why are you sad? I will have more time to discipline you when I return to Capital City. Everyone's skills have deteriorated a lot, so I just picked it up."
Even though Lu Lingjue was still on the verge of crying for a second, she couldn't help shivering after hearing this sentence. She still vividly remembered the days when she was tortured to death by this old general.
He immediately put on a life-like expression.
Once interrupted by this clown, the supposedly sad parting became less unacceptable.
"Boy of the Su family, the old man should have suspected you." Du Han looked straight into Su Mu's eyes. Although his words were harsh, Su Mu could tell that the old man had no malice towards him.
"But you have been in Jiangzhou for the past few days. I can see that you are not a person with such thoughts. Others have no time to hide when they encounter disasters. It is rare to see you jumping into the fire pit regardless of your care. It is also a word."Xuan saw the right person."
As he said that, he frowned and looked at Liu Xiaoran, as if he finally remembered to settle accounts with Liu Xiaoran: "You can easily give someone else a waist card, it seems that you don't like this little Dali temple?"
Liu Xiaoran coughed lightly when asked, "He is a trustworthy person."
Du Han snorted, and looked outside the city gate from a distance: "It seems that the court is about to change again. You can do it yourself, some things may not be avoided."
Su Mu couldn't help looking at Liu Xiaoran when he heard the words. King Ning had said such things before, which always made him a little concerned, why Liu Xiaoran was involved in this change in the court.
But the latter looked indifferent, as if he didn't hear this sentence at all.
Haohao Tangtang's convoy finally left Jiangzhou City slowly, and everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion amidst the dust.The people in Jiangzhou knew that Du Han had left Jiangzhou City. Although some people went to the city gate to see him off, within two days, this would become an insignificant event in this ancient city.
Ruan Wenping was the main criminal of the epidemic, and was taken to Capital City together. Ruan Qing wanted to go with her, but Bai Zhi naturally couldn't bear to let her go alone, so she hurriedly packed up and returned to Capital City together.
After sending everyone away, Jiang Prefecture became a bit lonely.
A piece of edict came from Capital City, and the new governor was indeed Cui Ming, the former servant of the Ministry of War. Several people who had already guessed this scene were speechless and could only sigh softly.
Autumn is coming to an end. Although the wound on Su Mu’s left hand has not fully healed, he can still do some simple movements. After Bai Zhi left, it was Dr. Yan who took over Su Mu’s hand injury.This little old man didn't look haggard, but he studied medicine even harder because of it.
"This old man is really embarrassing and embarrassing." He stroked his beard and sighed, "Fortunately, there is Doctor Bai here."
"Where is Doctor Yan, your medical skills are well known, but the disease originated from a strange technique, and the solution is really hard to find." Su Mu comforted.
"This medical skill is either not good or not. I'm old, so there's nothing wrong with admitting it." Dr. Yan changed Su Mu's medicine very neatly, and he also had a good impression of this gentle young man, "AgainIn a few days, there will be no need to apply medicine, but in the past six months, I hope you will be careful everywhere, as the wound is too deep, there is still a possibility of opening."
Su Mu nodded in agreement, and when he sent Dr. Yan out, he saw Lu Lingjue standing outside the door, as if waiting for the doctor to come out first.
"What's the matter, how long have you been wandering in front of my door?" Su Mu asked with a smile, brushing a small dead leaf off his clothes for him.
"We... this..." Lu Lingjue struggled with hesitation for a long time, and tried to speak several times but was held back by herself.
Su Mu looked at the person in front of him suspiciously for a while, and was about to ask again, when Liu Xiaoran's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"We're leaving tomorrow."
