Chapter 1002: Softening!【2】

"What!"

Cui Lie, who was still holding a brush, exclaimed, and the brush fell onto the bamboo slip in front of him, splashing a cluster of black ink.

The terrified Cui Lie widened his eyes.

"You... you said Duan Yu didn't die?"

Cui Lie looked at the official who came to report, his terrified voice trembling.

The official nodded and said: "The news from the palace is indeed so, the Provincial Governor is indeed not dead."

It's broken!

It's broken!

Cui Lie immediately stood up from behind the desk.

Isn't this broken?

He had previously received benefits from the Huang family, and the Huang family promised to support him in the court in the future, so he agreed to impeach Duan Yu.

But the premise was that Duan Yu had to be dead.

If Duan Yu didn't die.

Cui Lie shivered involuntarily.

Then Wang Rou, Wang Ze, Wang Yun, Liang Gu...

The end of these people is still fresh in his memory.

This Duan Yu... must be going to take revenge on him.

What to do?

What to do?

Yongheli.

Yuan Wei's mansion.

Yuan Ji, who had just received the news that Duan Yu was not dead and was still alive, had already arrived at Yuan Wei's mansion.

In the study, Yuan Ji knelt in front of Yuan Wei and told Yuan Wei all the news he had just learned.

Compared to the reactions of Cui Lie, He Jin, and others.

Yuan Wei looked calm, without any waves.

"Uncle, it is indeed as you expected, that Duan Yu did not die."

Yuan Wei smiled softly and said: "It is not a very clever or remarkable method."

"It's just that Duan Yu wants to use this way to let some people jump out."

"But there are still fools who fall for it."

"However..."

When he said the word 'however,' Yuan Wei's voice paused.

"However, the open conspiracy he used is indeed something I did not expect."

"This child is really getting more and more powerful."

"This time those people in Liangzhou... are afraid they are going to be unlucky," Yuan Wei said, gently stroking the beard on his chin.

Mansion of the Prefect of Imperial Physicians.

Back residence.

He Lingman, who had not left the room for several consecutive days and had lost a circle of weight, was leaning by the window in a daze.

Since hearing the news of Duan Yu's death, He Lingman had not left the room for more than ten days.

Wearing a black robe, her hair simply washed, and no makeup on her face, He Lingman seemed to be mourning some beauty in her heart.

"Madam... Madam..."

Outside the hall, the maid's exclamation sounded.

He Lingman turned her head to look at the maid who ran in, her eyes plain and with red bloodshot eyes.

The maid supported her knees with both hands, panting heavily.

"Madam, good news, good news."

The maid looked up at He Lingman and said: "Just now, the servant heard that the Marquis of Ji did not die."

He Lingman, whose eyes were originally plain, suddenly stood up after hearing this sentence.

Maybe it was because she had been sitting for too long.

Maybe it was because this news came too suddenly.

After standing up, He Lingman's body couldn't stop shaking.

He Lingman reached out to support the window on the side and asked in disbelief: "You... what did you say, say it again?"

"Madam, it's true, the servant just heard that the Marquis of Ji did not die."

He Lingman, who had stabilized her figure, immediately stepped out, holding her skirt with one hand, and walked outside.

"Madam... Madam, where are you going?"

"The servant will prepare a carriage for you."

The maid followed He Lingman's footsteps hurriedly.

"Go to the Grand General's Mansion," He Lingman said without looking back.

A moment later, He Lingman boarded the carriage in front of the mansion and hurried towards the mansion of Grand General He Jin.

And just when He Lingman left.

Zhang Feng, the Prefect of Imperial Physicians, wearing a black official robe, also walked out of the mansion door slowly, looking at the direction He Lingman left with gloomy eyes.

Jiuquan Commandery, Lufu County.

On the east side of the county town, there was a huge fortress.

The fortress was taller than the city wall of Lufu County.

It occupied a vast area.

Besides high walls, there were towers and arrow towers.

The tiles on the pavilions in the fortress reflected colorful light.

Jiuquan, further west is Dunhuang, and besides Dunhuang, there are the countries of the Western Regions.

The ancestor of the Jiuquan Huang family was named Huang Ba, who was not a local of Liangzhou, nor was he from Jiuquan. ===== CHAPTER 1004 =====
