At sunset, the twilight sinks.
Li Yuanmin hadn't heard Ni Ying's chirping voice in the mansion for a long time, and felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't think about other places, thinking that the child was hiding somewhere in the mansion again for fun.
At dinner time, Ni Ying was still missing. Li Yuanmin felt a little uneasy, and immediately sent a servant to ask. After a while, the servant came back and said that Ni Ying and the group of children had not returned yet. .
Li Yuanmin couldn't help frowning, the sun had already set, and there were many bandits in the Lingnan area. The Xuntai Mansion had already promulgated a curfew order for the city and square.
Suspicious, he called Zhang Long and ordered him to send two people to the street west temple fair to find out the situation, but he came back and reported that the temple fair had already ended, and he couldn't find these people everywhere in the street west There was no sign of him, even the four soldiers sent by Zhou Dawu to follow him were also missing.
In the past, these teenagers also had fun, but at least they dared not stay outside too late, thinking of Yan Lie's severe punishment. Li Yuanmin felt bad, hurried to the front hall, summoned a dozen guards, and went separately to inquire about the news.
He sat on the grand teacher's chair in the front hall, resting his forehead, feeling uneasy, turning all kinds of thoughts around, and frowning more and more.
When Yan Lie came back with all the government soldiers, he saw several palace guards hurried out of the palace gate with serious expressions.
He frowned, grabbed the reins, and called someone over to ask questions.
The guard bowed his head and hurriedly answered them one by one.
Yi Lie's eyes tightened, and he immediately turned his horse's head,
"The left and right battalions listen to the order, and the soldiers are divided into ten groups, looking for each neighborhood!"
All the government soldiers were ordered to act separately, and the team of hundreds of people was divided into ten columns in an instant, and they separated in an orderly manner.
Just as he was pulling the reins, Yan Lie thought of something, and ordered the guards: "You go and report to King Guang'an, and let him wait for news in the mansion, and the rest of the guards are not allowed to go out of the mansion, guarding King Guang'an. "
Konoe was ordered to go.
Yi Lie took a deep look at the direction of the gate of the mansion, turned his head and scolded, then pulled the reins and galloped away in the opposite direction.
In the Guang'an Palace, lights were lit everywhere, and Li Yuanmin paced anxiously.
The night was getting darker and darker. None of the people sent out came back with any useful information, and the children have not been found yet. Li Yuanmin waited in the front hall for a long time, and his worries grew.
When the sound of clappers came from the time of Xu, a guard finally brought back the news.
It was said that Ni Ying and others had offended Mr. Xuntai, and they are currently being detained in the government prison.
—Master Xuntai, isn’t it the Yuan Chongsheng who just took office.
Li Yuanmin's eyes darkened, feeling that the matter was getting more and more difficult, and he heard the guard say that Yan Lie had already led five hundred government soldiers, and was confronting the county guards in front of the prison.
"What?"
Although I know that Yan Lie is not that kind of impulsive person, but if the other party intentionally sets a trap and provokes her all the time, the situation will inevitably deteriorate.
"Get ready for the carriage!"
He hurried out of the front hall, and ordered: "Send two people to follow the king, and go to the official prison at the mansion, and the rest will wait in the mansion."
Thinking of something, he stopped, walked quickly to the desk, wrote a quick pen for a moment, and handed it to the guard beside him, "Send it to Xuntai Mansion."
He also ordered: "Go to the warehouse in the backyard and take the ten jars of Xifeng wine with you."
The guards got the order and hurriedly sent someone to do it.
In front of the government prison, the flames are soaring into the sky, and the burning torches will illuminate everywhere brightly. The place where officials and supervisors are heavy, naturally few people come, this place has not been so lively for many years, but there are two people in the dark, tensely confronting each other.
He Jian, the commander of the county guard, held the reins, and stared at the straight man in front of his eyes with slightly squinted eyes: "Master Zongzhang is so majestic, he came to rob the prison, and I am not afraid that Mr. Xuntai will go to the imperial court to read a book !"
In the flickering flames, Yan Lie was expressionless, looking terrified: "If the people in the Guang'an Palace are guilty, there will be three joint trials, entered into the legal books, and then convicted. Why are they so casual and rushed to prison? The government prison has become Yuan Xuntai's private prison!"
He Jian's face tightened, and he shouted: "I am a member of the county guard, and I naturally obey the command of the local county guard. Lord Yan dare not pour this dirty water on the last general!"
"At present, there are laws that are not followed, and I would like to ask Lord Canling!" Yan Lie sneered, and said word by word: "Are you an official of the imperial court, or a slave of Lord Xuntai!"
"Huangkou kid insulted me!" He Jian became angry immediately, and immediately drew his knife out.
There was a sound of sharp blades behind him.
The soldiers of Guang'an Prince's Mansion lined up in formation, with serious faces, and they were also ready to fight.
But at the moment when the sword was on the verge of breaking out, a carriage with the lantern of the Guang'an Palace hurriedly rushed here.
After a while, the carriage stopped at the gate of the official prison.
Yi Lie waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him all stepped aside.
A slender and cold white hand stretched out, the car curtain was lifted, and a nobleman with a jade crown on his head and a moon-white blouse got out of the carriage with the help of the guards.
There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and all eyes focused on him. The soldiers of the Guang'an Palace had been trained and trained by Yan Lie for a long time, and they no longer dared to look at their master lightly. On the contrary, the officers and soldiers of the county guards looked at him. There was a look of astonishment, what's more, the eyes straightened.
Yi Lie's face was dark at the moment, he got off his horse and stood behind Li Yuanmin, his cold eyes swept around like a bite, and most of the eyes that fell on him moved away.
"What is this for?"
Li Yuanmin didn't take it seriously, he just looked at those fiery gazes as nothing, walked closer, raised his brows slightly, and said:
"It was He Shenling, but I haven't seen you for a while, I don't know if everything is safe?"
"King Guang'an is concerned, everything is well."
He Jian got off the horse, clasped his hands together and bowed in vain, raised his head, and turned his gaze to his face calmly.
I haven't seen him for more than a year, and this King Guang'an is really getting more and more... Looking at the enchanting peach blossom face in front of him, he feels like a cat is scratching his heart, but he dare not show disrespect on his face, after all, he has suffered a lot .
Li Yuanmin nodded, looked around for a week, and said with a smile: "This battle is scary, Ariel, let people retreat quickly, those who don't know really think we are robbing prisoners."
Yi Lie looked at him, Li Yuanmin nodded slightly, his Adam's apple moved, and he raised his hand to signal, all the soldiers behind obeyed his orders, retracted their knives together, and retreated to one side.
He Jian naturally went down the steps, and also ordered the county guards behind him to retreat. The front of the crowd of officers and prisons suddenly opened up a lot. He Jian looked at the very beautiful side face, his throat moved, and Going forward, bowing down and bowing, the tone is very sincere:
"Your Highness, don't blame me. It's not that the general is ignorant of good and evil. It's just that this important place of officials and prisons can't trespass, even the nobles are the same... There's a lot of offense here."
"It's not a big deal." Li Yuanmin glanced at the prison with the tightly closed door, shaking his hem, as if casually, "These children in the palace are usually naughty, and it's also true that the adults who patrol the stage take care of them on their behalf." It’s a good thing, how can He Shenling be embarrassed by such a trivial matter.”
"King Guang'an is so sympathetic to the difficulty of going down the peak, the general will be very grateful."
Being so close, I can clearly see the white and greasy skin on the face, and a faint fragrance penetrates into the nose, which makes his throat feel dry, He Jian breathes He couldn't help being a little rough, his eyes moved up to those thin lips, and suddenly his back felt cold.
The man behind him had a pair of horrified eyes that were almost eating people, He Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked away.
Coughed lightly: "That's it, I will resign at the end."
"He Canling stay here," Li Yuanmin twitched his lips slightly, "Just now the king sent a letter of worship to the Xuntai Mansion. If He Canling has nothing important, why not go together."
"The best Xifeng Qingye on the ten altars," Li Yuanmin pointed at the carriage, and the smile on his lips deepened, "He Canling, don't let me down!"
"this… "
He Jian hesitated for a moment, glanced at him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately bowed his head:
"Then it would be better to obey than respect."
