"What? General Dugu was attacked by a group of assassins in the southern part of the city? The shopkeeper of the Chu Ironware Shop, Kang Changan, was ambushed by three black-clothed men on his way back? "
At the same time, in the Wang Clan's ancestral home …
After listening to Bai Qing's report, Wang Yu abruptly stood up from his seat, his face ashen.
The Wang Clan had been in Taiyuan for many years, but this was the first time someone had slapped them in the face.
"This … this subordinate is incompetent. Patriarch, please punish me!"
Bai Qing and the other Wang Clan covert guards got down on one knee and bowed.
"Where's Cheng Wu?"
Wang Yu walked up to Bai Qing with his hands behind his back and asked coldly.
"Patriarch, the Grand Commander received the news and went to the southern part of the city to rescue General Dugu. We brought Zhu Xie Cheng and Kang Changan's … corpses back first!"
Bai Qing replied in full detail.
"Quickly bring people to the southern part of the city!"
Wang Yu was silent for a moment, then he ordered, "In addition, bring people to the Provincial Governor's Residence and inform Provincial Governor Wang!"
Wang Yu knew very well that this was not the time to hold these people accountable. The most important thing now was to ensure Dugu Xin's safety. If something happened to Dugu Xin, then the Wang family would not be able to clear their name even if they jumped into the Yellow River!
Zhu Xie Cheng and Kang Changan had been found and escorted back by the Wang Clan, but one of them had been killed right under the eyes of the Wang Clan guards. Logically speaking, the Wang Clan had to bear the main responsibility. And if something happened to Dugu Xin, the commander of the Imperial Army, in Taiyuan City, the Wang Clan would not be able to escape responsibility. After all, who told the Wang Clan to be the local tyrant of Taiyuan City?
"Yes! Patriarch! "
Bai Qing and the others left with the order.
Inside the room, Wang Yu paced around the hall with his hands behind his back. Princess Tong 'an, who was sitting to the side, frowned and said, "Dugu Xin was attacked, and the key suspect they were looking for was ambushed. Who are these people? How dare they commit murder in public in Taiyuan City? And even make a move against our Wang Clan? "
Wang Yu paused and sighed. "No matter where they come from, since they dared to behave so atrociously in Taiyuan City, this old man will definitely ferret them out! Moreover, I'm afraid that this group of people's goal isn't so simple. Their true goal should be … "
At this point, Wang Yu turned to look in the northwest direction. That was the posthouse in Taiyuan City. Li Tai and the other Yanhuang College teachers and students were staying there!
Princess Tong 'an naturally understood what Wang Yu was trying to say. Her heart sank slightly as she revealed a worried expression. "The other party wants to harm Qingque? In this way, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to Sui Province for the time being! "
Speaking of which, she and Li Tai had returned to their ancestral home from Qizhou. Originally, they had planned to settle Wang Renbiao's matter and then immediately return to Suizhou. However, Li Tai was her grandnephew. Whether it was due to emotion or reason, whether it was public or private, she had to look after Li Tai. After all, this was Taiyuan, the territory of her husband's family.
"We definitely can't return to Suizhou for the time being! Nothing must happen to King Wei and the others in Taiyuan City! Right now, he had to see if Cheng Wu could save Dugu Xin and capture one or two of them alive! From the looks of it, we are in the open while the enemy is in the dark. Moreover, the enemy knows everything about us like the back of his hand. We must grasp the enemy's situation as soon as possible! "
Wang Yu sternly said, his eyes blazing.
As the saying went, know thyself and know thy enemy, and thou shalt be victorious in every battle. Although the Wang clan was powerful, if they knew nothing about the enemy's situation, they would be constantly on the defensive. This was something that Wang Yu did not wish to see.
Princess Tong 'an silently nodded.
"Reporting! Patriarch! The Grand Marshal has rescued General Dugu! "
Hurried footsteps came from outside the room. Soon after, Bai Qing, who had left earlier, ran into the hall and cupped his fists to Wang Yu.
Wang Yu, who was anxiously pacing back and forth in the hall, suddenly had his eyes light up. He turned around and said with a face full of joy, "Good! That's great! Where is Cheng Wu now? And how is General Dugu? Is he injured? "
Although he and Princess Tong 'an had analyzed that the enemy's target was likely Li Tai, they had no good ideas. After all, the heavy responsibility of protecting Li Tai's group could only be shouldered by Dugu Xin and the other Imperial Army soldiers. The Wang clan could not shoulder this responsibility! Thus, nothing could happen to Dugu Xin!
Moreover, no matter what, Dugu Xin was the commander of the northern Imperial Army. If he were to die in Taiyuan City for no reason, no one would be able to bear Li Er's wrath!
After all, the northern Imperial Army was Li Er's trump card, and the commander of this army represented Li Er to a certain extent!
