Chapter 290 He can’t relieve his sister’s suffering!
"Whoa! Stop, stop, stop right there!"

Seeing a person suddenly dropped from the carriage in front, and then the figure rolled all the way to the ground, blocking the road directly ahead, Wang Hu hurriedly shouted to stop, and ordered all the soldiers to rein in their horses and stop from a distance, for fear that if they got too close they would offend the person on the ground.

While Captain Wang Hu was hesitating, the carriage in front was moving farther and farther away, leaving a cloud of dust.

Fortunately, the patrol camps in several nearby streets had heard the noise here. Amid the shouting, someone had already discovered the carriage and was taking over the pursuit from Wang Hu.

But these are no longer important. What Wang Hu is most concerned about at the moment is the beautiful figure lying on the ground in front of him, whose life or death is unknown.

He led his soldiers and slowly approached the person on the ground. Although he could not see the face clearly, Wang Hu could still make out the style of clothes. The person in front of him was clearly dressed as a woman, wearing silk and satin, and gold hairpins. It was obvious that she was from a wealthy family.

Combining the military orders he was executing with the heated discussions in Bianjing, Wang Hu already had some guesses about the man on the ground.

So the first time I saw someone, I ordered them to stop.

He certainly didn't dare to use his horse's hooves to step on the person lying on the ground.

Wang Hu took a step closer with hesitation, and saw it more clearly.

I saw a woman on the ground with her hair in a mess. Her long hair, which should have been combed, was scattered and covered her face, making it difficult to see her face. The thick and translucent color of her hair also became dull and lifeless. Her clothes were messy and she looked like she had been ruined.

Seeing this scene, Wang Hu's eyes widened and the uncertainty in his heart finally fell to the ground.

But it’s not peace of mind, but a dead heart.

'This is a terrible disaster!'

At this moment, he no longer had any thought of receiving any reward or credit. He just cursed himself in his heart for being unlucky. The vortex among these big shots had actually swept him up.

"What the hell! Why did you choose the street I patrol? "

While Wang Hu was cursing in his heart, he quickly calmed down, looked around calmly, and thought to himself:

"Wait for a while, wait for the surrounding Wang Hu to arrive, and then investigate the face of the person in front of you."

There was obviously a big pit in front of him, but he was short and didn't dare to step on it alone!

So he did not dare to look at the person on the ground for too long. After a quick glance, he turned around and gave an order to the soldiers following him:

"The man in front of us was dressed strangely, and he was riding in the city during the ban, and he accidentally fell off the carriage. We will take care of him first and wait for the adults to arrive before making a decision!"

Wang Hu quickly came up with a reasonable excuse, not caring about the surprised looks of his soldiers, and once again instructed his subordinates:

"You guys quickly block off the surrounding streets, drive away the tourists, and then find a shop to get the fan screens."

Wang Hu was worried and didn't dare to wade into the muddy water alone, but he also didn't dare to do nothing, so he had to control the scene first and then let his men pass the message to the higher-ups, hoping that a big shot would come to support the situation in the end.

At worst, we have to wait until we have more people and more power.

After giving instructions.

After a short while, the surroundings were cleared by soldiers, and a screen was found to surround the people on the ground.

'Someone come quick, someone come quick!'

Wang Hu stood in front of the screen with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself.

He didn't know whether God didn't hear his cries or he was just unlucky today, but no matter how he looked around, he didn't see any new faces.

And at the same time.

The voices of colleagues who had been shouting loudly in the nearby streets also became quieter and quieter until they were almost inaudible.

But after a moment, everything around fell silent.

Apparently, none of them dared to look over here, and they all went to hunt down the murderer happily.

There is strength in numbers over there.

But here, he was all alone.

"God damn it! There isn't even a real man who can take responsibility!"

Wang Hu was heartbroken again.

But he couldn't just stand there and do nothing at this moment.

Although there is no one who can share the responsibility at the moment, he still has to confirm the identity of the person in front of him before the adults come.

Even if you are certain in your heart, you still have to confirm your identity first.

Otherwise, if the ancestors in the underground exert their power and smoke comes out of the ancestral tomb, it will be someone else in the end.

Then when someone comes upstairs, the situation will be awkward.

Therefore, Wang Hu could only curse himself for being unlucky today, and at the same time, he begged for the blessing of his ancestors, and slowly gave the order:
"Remove the screen!"

"Yes!"

After the screen was removed, Wang Hu immediately made up his mind, half-knelt down and came to the person lying on the ground. At the same time, he took out the portrait of Rong Feiyan in his arms, looked at it carefully, and then slowly brushed away the dry hair.

!!!

"Sure enough, just like me, my ancestors didn't have much power down there!"

There was no surprise after all.

Wang Hu only took a glance and confirmed that the person lying on the ground was Rong Feiyan from the Fuchang Marquis' Mansion, Rong Fei's biological sister.

However, although he was certain that it was Rong Feiyan, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart - that is, whether Rong Feiyan was dead or alive.

Right now, Rong Feiyan looks like she has been abducted and humiliated, so it is unclear whether she is dead or alive.

Thinking of this, Wang Hu immediately turned around and glanced around, making sure that the soldiers all had their backs to him. He felt slightly relieved, and at the same time, he quickly moved his hands to check Rong Feiyan's breath.

"Well, as expected, I am really unlucky today."

With just a simple probe, Wang Hu felt that although Rong Feiyan's breath was weak, she was still alive.

'This thief God really likes to play jokes on himself.'

When the time came, Wang Hu felt much calmer.

And then a while later.

Wang Hu saw Rong Xian coming.

Rong Xian was ordered by the emperor to participate in this matter, so even though he is not as high-ranking as Wang Hu in terms of official status, due to the emperor's order and Rong Xian's background, Wang Hu and several other captains have been following Rong Xian in the past few days.

Of course, it was definitely not because of the group of direct guards wearing infantry armor following behind Rong Xian.

As for armor, it seems like everyone wears it!

After Rong Xian appeared, Wang Hu stepped forward to report and at the same time took the opportunity to look behind Rong Xian. He saw that several colleagues whom he had been thinking about just now were following him.

And he looked like he was admitting his mistake.

Obviously, they swarmed in just now, but ended up not catching the thieves.

What is even more obvious is that after they failed to catch the thief, they did not come to join him, but avoided him and went straight to Rong Xian to confess their crime.

"That's her mother!"

Wang Hu immediately glared at several of his colleagues.

Several colleagues were also feeling guilty at this moment. They only dared to glance to the side and did not dare to look at Wang Hu.

It’s not that we don’t want to help, it’s just that we can’t bear it anymore!
You will have to carry the burden alone!
Since the fight, Rong Xian has been walking towards the place where Rong Feiyan fell with a gloomy face.

At the same time, Wang Hu followed in small steps and reported:

"After we discovered the thieves, they panicked and had no choice but to abandon the lady and flee." Rong Xian suddenly stopped and gave Wang Hu a cold look.

Wang Hu felt bitter about this, and he did not dare to excuse himself or say anything good, so he could only continue:

"The thieves were so violent that the lady fell off the carriage and is unknown whether she is alive or dead. We dare not investigate and can only wait where we are."

At this time, Rong Xian also saw the rearranged screen, and the expression on his face eased a little. He was in no hurry to go in to see who was who. After pacing around and thinking for a while, he turned to Wang Hu and asked:

"You did this?"

Wang Hu just nodded, and then he heard Rong Xian ask again:

"You are the only one who has found out who is inside?"

Who's inside?
Wang Hu was stunned when he heard this.

What does this mean?
He originally thought that the first thing Rong Xian would ask should be whether Rong Feiyan was dead or alive.

I was already prepared to say that I had no knowledge of the matter (the investigation just now was just to give myself some peace of mind, just in case).

Who would have thought that Rong Xian's first question was whether he was the only one who could see the people inside clearly?
It seems that he still doubts in his words that that person is not Rong Feiyan?
But it’s not Rong Feiyan, how could I not know it!

I have the portrait in my arms! But they are 60% similar!

"Damn, this guy has bad intentions, doesn't he?"

Wang Hu was a little nervous for a moment, and cursed in his heart:
"With such a way of dealing with people, no wonder your ancestors have been making a living as bricklayers for eight generations!"

At this time.

Wang Hu also noticed that several of his colleagues were constantly winking at him secretly, which made him feel even more nervous. He realized that the answer he was about to give might be very important.

After a moment of panic, Wang Hu quickly calmed down.

Since Rong Xian did not follow common sense and had ill intentions, he did not intend to tell the truth, and quickly replied in a loud voice, using the volume of a military order in the barracks:
"When Miss Rong fell off the carriage, I immediately drove away the people around!"

This loud reply was heard by everyone in the surrounding patrol camp. Even if they didn't know it before, after hearing Wang Hu's shout, they knew that the person inside was Rong Feiyan.

After this shout, several of Wang Hu's colleagues stopped moving and continued to pretend to apologize.

On the other hand, Rong Xian's face was blue and white, and he was obviously angry at Wang Hu's words.

"Well, well, you are fine!"

Rong Xian pointed at Wang Hu with his hand and gritted his teeth in anger.

"This is our duty and we have no choice but to do it!" Wang Hu replied seriously.

Since Rong Xian had bad intentions, this was the only way he could fight back.

Seeing that his plan failed, Rong Xian no longer had the heart to argue with Wang Hu. He immediately stepped behind the screen to see how Rong Feiyan was doing.

Soon, Rong Xian came out again with a dark face. This time, he looked at Wang Hu with an even more unfriendly expression. He kept looking at Wang Hu with his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something in his mind.

But in the end, Rong Xian just let out a long sigh of relief, then looked up at the sky, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Seeing this, Wang Hu, who had been tense all the time, felt relieved.

"I have finally gotten through this crisis, but I don't know what will happen next..."

"You patrol battalion go back first. I will take over this place. The rewards in the future will not be small." Rong Xian seemed to lose interest and immediately began to order Wang Hu and others to retreat.

"Yes!"

Everyone was happy and relaxed.

They no longer dared to ask for the reward, they just wanted to put the matter behind them.

The people in the patrol camp then began to gather their soldiers and prepare to return to the camp.

Wang Hu also began to reorganize the military train and started thinking about what to do next.

At this moment, Rong Xian walked behind him and asked sadly:

"Captain Wang, I heard that those who have been on the battlefield for a long time know how to read people's minds. In your opinion, can my sister be saved?"

Wang Hu was stunned.

Want to survive?

It seemed that Rong Feiyan was just a little weak, not at all seriously ill.

Could it be that Rong Xian couldn't see this either?

Wang Hu was about to open his mouth to answer, but just as the words came out of his mouth, he felt a chill in his heart.

'He's testing me!'

Wang Hu didn't expect that just when he relaxed, Rong Xian took the opportunity to catch him off guard again, but fortunately he reacted in time, so he quickly turned around and replied:
"I don't know about that. Not to mention that I don't have the ability to look at people, even if I did, I wouldn't dare to look closely at your face, let alone your body."

Rong Xianshen looked at Wang Hu, and seeing that he could not see any clues, he nodded and sighed:

"I apologize for my words that offended you just now, Captain Wang!"

"I have been so worried about my sister these days that I have lost my mind. After this is over, the Rong family will definitely set up a table in the restaurant to express our apologies. I hope that Captain Wang will be able to show his favor then."

Wang Hu now doesn't believe a single word of Rong Xian's words.

What kind of thank-you banquet is this? If I really were to attend, it would probably turn into a Hongmen Banquet in no time.

But don’t reach out and hit the smiling person.

Not to mention that the person in front of him was the brother of the emperor's favorite concubine, so Wang Hu had no choice but to pretend to be generous and smiled:

"Of course I don't need to worry about this! I may lose my sense of proportion in my haste. Since Master Rong has invited me, I will definitely attend the appointment as scheduled!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Captain!"

After Rong Xian showed his sincere respect for the wise and humble, he watched Wang Hu and his group leave.

Not long after that, the carriage of the Rong family from the Fuchang Marquisate also arrived.

The eldest lady of the Rong family wanted to come along, but was stopped at home by Rongchang, the Marquis of Fuchang, who only sent his trusted maids and old women to come along.

Seeing the visitor, Rong Xian immediately arranged for a group of maids to set up many curtains along the way, covering the surroundings tightly and connecting the carriage and the screen.

There are only Rong Xian and Rong Feiyan here.

Then Rong Xian knelt down and carefully helped Rong Feiyan straighten her messy hair, and then tried to smooth her frowned brows.

However, her eyebrows, which were soft and smooth in the past, were now stiff and her brow bones were prominent.

It cannot be smoothed or kneaded evenly.

It was just like a mark, firmly engraved on this skinny face that had lost its former luster.

Rong Xian remained silent and pursed his lips.

He cannot relieve his sister's suffering.

He had no choice but to rub his brows, trying to smooth out the wrinkles between them.

Then, he managed a smile from the corners of his mouth and gently held his sister in his arms.

"Sister, let's go home!"
