Reborn from the bottom of the coffin, the miracle doctor and the ugly concubine fight against the wo

Fortunately, Zhang Xingzhou was also a general who had gone through hundreds of battles and remained calm, and he could deal with Murong Xiao's counterattack calmly without changing his expression.

"Returning to the prince, I really don't know where the doctor went. The situation was very chaotic at that time. When he went out, I was not prepared at all. Furthermore, my subordinates just kidnapped him to treat their injuries, not Knowing that he was the person that the prince was looking for, he never put him under strict supervision."

Murong Xiao stared at him quietly for a long time, without asking further questions, and ordered Beiyuan: "Go and call the county magistrate to me."

Beiyuan accepted the order and soon brought in a middle-aged official wearing an eighth-grade official uniform.

"Liu Xian Cheng." Murong Xiao waved his hand to stop him before he could salute, "Everyone here has surrendered. I have asked the reason why. They were forced to become bandits and did not harm the people. Now, they are willing to make up for their mistakes." , is responsible for wiping out all the bandits in Tailai County and protecting the normal life of the people. In order to keep it secret, you and your men must not publicize it to the outside world after you return, so as not to leak the news and let other bandits prepare. Do you understand?"

"..."

The county magistrate looked at him, then at Zhang Xingzhou, and then at everyone in the room.

Everyone seemed to be in harmony, and no one was threatened by anyone.

"I understand, I will follow the instructions of the inspector in everything," he said respectfully.

Murong Xiao was very satisfied, nodded and said: "I killed the county magistrate who did nothing. Now you have the highest official position in the county government. You should take care of everything carefully. I will write to the court to promote you to the county magistrate and give you the rewards you deserve." .”

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude: "Thank you for your support, sir. I will definitely do my best and will never slack off."

"I believe in you." Murong Xiao said, "Take the people down the mountain first, and remember to keep your mouth shut about what happened today."

The county magistrate responded repeatedly, promising not to reveal Shangguan's secrets, and resigned with great gratitude.

"..."

Everyone in the room was silent and had complicated expressions.

Zhang Xingzhou thought to himself that the king of Jingnan, a majestic vassal, actually lied and deceived people, deceived officials, and kept his face calm and his heart not beating. It was as if he and the escaped woman were taught by the same master.

By the way, the two of them are quite like a couple when it comes to talking nonsense.

At this time, Beiyuan stepped forward and broke the silence: "Your Majesty, when will we go back?"

"Wait until the people from the county government leave." Murong Xiao said.

"Yes."

Beiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, whether he could find the princess or not was not the most important thing. What was most important was that the prince could return to Yunzhou safely.

If something unexpected happens to the prince in Shuzhou, because he fails to protect his lord, not to mention what will happen to the old lady, the staff alone will tear him apart.

"What about me?" Xie Chengfeng also stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, can I leave?"

"Okay." Murong Xiao said calmly, "Master Taoist, please do."

Seeing that he readily agreed, Xie Chengfeng felt a little worried: "Your Majesty, you won't let anyone follow me, right?"

"Aren't you unjust for following you?" Murong Xiao asked back.

Xie Chengfeng: "..."

If he said that, he would be even more worried.

"In that case, I'll take my leave now." He hugged Murong Xiao's fists, turned around and strode away.

Murong Xiao winked at Beiyuan. Beiyuan understood and immediately went out and arranged for people to follow him.

"Why is he a Taoist priest?" Zhang Dahan exclaimed. He was about to say something, but Zhang Xingzhou swung him with a knife. He was so frightened that he shrank his neck and silently shut his mouth.

Xie Chengfeng left the village and knew that Murong Xiao must have sent people to follow him. He did not dare to look for Chu Zhao on the mountain and went directly back to Hongyan Inn.

The inn is still closed today, and there is only one waiter guarding the lobby.

The first thing Xie Chengfeng did when he walked in was to ask Lai Hong if he was awake.

"He woke up for a while and fell asleep again." The clerk said, "The doctor is checking his pulse in the backyard."

Xie Chengfeng knew that Laihong usually lived in the backyard of the inn, so he didn't let the waiter lead the way and went to the backyard himself.

He only thought that the old doctor was here, but when he stepped into Hong's room, he was shocked to find that the doctor the waiter mentioned was actually Chu Zhao.

Xie Chengfeng's heartbeat almost stopped with fright. He hurriedly went in and asked in a trembling voice: "Azhao, you, how dare you come back?"

"Why don't you dare?" Chu Zhao smiled like a little fox that stole two chickens. "Senior brother didn't expect me to come back, and others certainly didn't expect it. I am the safest here."

Xie Chengfeng had nothing to say, feeling that his legs and feet were weak.

Aao brought him a chair in time.

Xie Chengfeng sat down holding on to the back of the chair, his heart still pounding.

"Azhao, you are so brave!"

"Hahahaha..." Chu Zhao laughed, "Senior brother, what kind of metaphor is this? Does it mean that I am full of courage?"

"Thank you for being able to laugh." Xie Chengfeng shook his head helplessly, there was nothing he could do to her.

While the two were talking, Lai Hong woke up again and saw Xie Chengfeng and Chu Zhao were there. He was so excited that he wanted to get up, but he had no strength.

"Don't worry, it's okay now. All those bandits have surrendered." Xie Chengfeng reassured him vaguely.

Lai Hong nodded, then rolled his eyes and looked around.

"Girl Hammer is cleaning up her shop." Chu Zhao said, "Everyone is fine. Don't worry about us. Just rest in peace and recover."

Laihong felt relieved and calmed down.

Chu Zhao asked Ah Ao to look at him, pulled Xie Chengfeng aside and asked in a low voice: "Did Murong Xiao take Zhang Xingzhou's group under his wing?"

"Take it." Xie Chengfeng said, "How do you know that Zhang Xingzhou wants to join King Jingnan, and how do you know that Murong Xiao will definitely accept them?"

"I guessed it." Chu Zhao said, "This is an intuition. I can't tell you the details."

Xie Chengfeng: "...then guess again, can you escape this time?"

"It should be no problem." Chu Zhao said, "Senior brother, now go out and walk in any direction, get rid of those who are following you, and I will be safe."

Xie Chengfeng was stunned: "You even guessed that I was being followed?"

"Is it difficult to guess?" Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows and showed a little pride, "Isn't this Murong Xiao's normal operation?"
