"Although this girl may be the daughter of my family, the family of the burly man, she is unspeakably noble. However, this is the Cloud City. As the commander of the northern troop and the guardian of the Cloud County, I will not tolerate anyone doing anything malicious to assassinate the big man's aristocrat, disturbing the order in the Cloud City. "Therefore, you can handle this matter as much as you want. If there's anything you need me to do, let me handle it." In County Governor Manor, Uncle Li said resolutely to Xiao Wen.
Although he was not a full marquis, but as a marquis, he had gained a lot of meritorious services in this battle.
Therefore, it was inevitable that Liu Bang would bestow the title of Marquis upon him when he returned to the country.
In a big man, if a Marquis's daughter interfered with another Marquis' military actions, no matter how much power and position his father had, he would have to sacrifice his daughter.
After all, the military order was like a mountain and was the most politically correct person to use the military aristocrats as the base.
However, when the soldier was about to leave with the girl, the girl's eyes lit up.
She quickly ran to Uncle Lee's side. She looked at him with sparkling eyes and asked, "Uncle Li, do you really not remember me?"
Looking at Lee, the little girl's eyes seemed to shine with hope.
This expression made Uncle Li somewhat hesitant.
He had seen this girl before?
However, Uncle Lee shook his head and said, "No matter what, I am still a government official. I know there are a lot of people in this world I don't know, but he knows me. This is a very normal thing. "
"If I do know you, or your family, you can explain it to me. But if you won't tell me, I'll have to be careful to treat you as someone who's trying to get close to me. Don't blame me for being arrogant. This is what a county governor should do. "
He hesitated for a long time. Considering that the other party might really be the daughter of a friend, he could only reply with a request for help.
If this girl was truly willing to reveal her identity, then naturally, Uncle Li would be willing to help her.
But before that, as long as she still had a sliver of the possibility of being a spy trained by other countries, Uncle Li couldn't let his guard down.
The girl was disappointed to hear Uncle Li's answer.
She looked at the cautious Guan Yu beside her and felt that if she were to reveal her name, then her reputation would be ruined.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Li. I can't tell you my name. But don't worry, my partner will come to my rescue soon. I'll come play with Uncle Li when I have the chance. "
"In addition, give my regards to Brother Zi Cheng for me." After she finished speaking, she even casually performed the standard etiquette for a noble woman towards Uncle Li.
Uncle Li didn't say anything, only gloomily watched the scene unfold.
He knew very well that whether it was the name of his son or the etiquette of an aristocrat, these were not things that ordinary people could come into contact with. But if it was a spy, then these things were just common sense.
However, as a precaution, after Xiao Wen brought the little girl away, he turned to his aide-de-camp and asked, "Where did he go?"
"In reply to the general." Even though Uncle Li was the successor to the Yunzhong County Guard, anyone who was not a member of the northern army would have to address him as' milord '. But as a member of the northern army, the aide-de-camp still addressed Lee as a general.
He said respectfully, "Young General is currently in the barracks, training with Mister Xiao's modified cavalry."
"Looks like he really likes cavalry!" Hearing this, Uncle Li nodded his head noncommittally.
Then he ordered, "Go find him and ask him to come here and see what kind of person this girl is. Otherwise, the more time passes, the more worried I will be. "
The inevitable political turmoil, as an old general, naturally did not fear. But as a politician, he would never like an unwarranted disaster.
If he could avoid danger, he would choose to avoid it.
The instinct to avoid danger was also shared by humans and other animals.
At the same time, Xiao Wen brought the little girl, Guan Yu, and a group of soldiers to the side hall after bidding farewell to Uncle Li.
The original County Governor Manor's side hall allowed the county governor to handle some private matters — for example, a friend had visited him. When he returned home, he found out that the county governor was working at County Governor Manor, so he came looking for him.
If one were to deal with some private matters in the main hall, it would be hard to avoid some people commenting on it. Therefore, according to official rules, if a person came looking for him for personal matters, the county governor would meet him in a side chamber.
Xiao Wen had also come to the original County Governor Manor side hall.
The first time he came, it was during Heshen's reign.
However, the side hall of County Governor Manor was luxuriously decorated by Heshen.
Bronze ceremonies passed down in the Zhou Dynasty, fine porcelain made from the official kilns of Song and Ming dynasties, jade artifacts collected from the countries of China, gold and silver gems brought by merchants of the Western Regions, and woolen carpets were all piled up in this place.
However, after the death of Hezhen, Uncle Ke Li and Xiao Wen had planned to sell all of these things in exchange for money to build the city walls and streets of the Cloud County. This way, they would be able to raise the military strength of the Cloud County and not be said to use the money from the Cloud to support the Northern Army.
After all, using a large amount of money to raise an army was already a foregone conclusion. If Liubang found out, he would definitely go back home and chop him to death.
The side chamber now, although still vaguely had some of its former splendour. The mahogany cabinet that was originally filled with porcelain still remained at a distance, but the ornaments on it were much simpler.
The carpet was also removed. Instead, it was a floor woven of grass that looked somewhat like a Japanese tatami.
Zhuge Liang and a middle-aged man with a doctor's hat were sitting inside.
When they saw Xiao Wen bring a group of people over, they immediately stood up.
"Sir, the doctor you want is here." Zhuge Liang greeted Xiao Wen before he entered the hall.
Just as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, the doctor also clasped his hands and bowed to Xiao Wen, "This commoner pays his respects to Young Master Qin."
"Old sir, you're too polite." When Xiao Wen saw the doctor bowing to him, he quickly reached out to support him.
In fact, he knew the doctor.
A long time ago, He Heshen had killed the famous Doctor of the Han Family in the city because of some matters of interest, and now he had replaced him with a quack doctor who was willing to help the wicked.
As someone whose medical skills were only second to Doctor Han, the doctor in front of Xiao Wen refused He Shen's invitation to be his partner and refused to be his partner. For a period of time, he was constantly suppressed.
It could be said that this doctor was a decent person.
