Zhu'er was thrown down halfway, and she didn't know which courtyard Jing Yun and Wang Shu were in, but as soon as she entered the mansion, she smelled Wang Shu's scent from a small path.
Pearl slipped and rushed over.
Seeing this, Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei hurriedly followed.
The gates of Pucheng are strictly guarded, and it is difficult to get in and out. In comparison, the security of the City Lord's Mansion is not so strict.
Along the way, the two saw two patrolling guards, and they avoided them skillfully.
Pearl ran up a peach tree, jumped from a branch into a secluded courtyard.
In the middle of the night, all the people in the yard rested, and the two gently climbed over the wall, and followed Pearl to a door.
"Here?" Qiao Wei asked softly.
Pearl nodded.
Qiao Wei took out a small box from her bosom, which contained steel needles of different lengths and thicknesses. Qiao Wei picked the thinnest and longest one from the crack of the door, and used the steel needle to push open the latch inside.
The moment the door latch fell, Qiao Wei thrust her hand into the crack of the door and caught it firmly.
A unique fragrance came slowly from the house, and the two of them instantly realized that this might be a girl's room.
Ji Mingxiu waited outside the house tactfully, Qiao Wei and Zhu'er went in, one person and one monkey walked around the screen and came to the bed, opened the almond-colored curtain to have a look, but where was Wang Shu? She was clearly an eight or nine-year-old girl!
Zhu'er jumped onto the bed, slipped into the quilt for a while, and when she got out of the quilt, she had a delicate little red string in her hand.
This is the red rope that Seventeen gave to Wangshu in Helanbao on New Year's Eve. It is said that he bought it from Feiyu Town.
Wang Shu has been wearing it all the time, how did it get into the hands of this little girl
Who is this little girl
While Qiao Wei was thinking about it, Yue Lingxi on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, but before she could see the situation in the room clearly, a slender hand like jade reached out from behind Qiao Wei and touched her sleeping hole.
Yue Lingxi fell into a coma.
Qiao Wei turned her head, looked at Ji Mingxiu who appeared behind her in time, and handed him the red rope, "Wangshu's."
Ji Mingxiu took the red rope in his hand and rubbed it lightly a few times, his heart welled up with strong emotions, he calmly suppressed it, glanced at Yue Lingxi on the bed and said: "She is the daughter of the Yue family, with her , I don’t have to worry about finding out the whereabouts of Jing Yun and Wang Shu.”
At this point, what kind of gentleman, what kind of morality, all go to hell, as long as he can get his son and daughter back, he will admit to any unscrupulous things!
…
"My lord! My lord! Wake up quickly! It's not good! Something happened to Miss!"
The city lord was hugging his wife to sleep well, when he suddenly heard a noise, he thought what happened to those Yeluo people, and kicked over the stool in front of the bed impatiently, the lady in his arms was awakened, and listened intently, ah With a cry, she sat up: "It's Lingxi... something happened to Lingxi!"
When the city lord dressed in a robe and rushed to the daughter's courtyard, the entire courtyard was lit up, and all the servants stood on the lawn tremblingly. Two teams of guards pointed spears at Yue Lingxi's boudoir. To the man standing in front of her boudoir.
The man was wearing a plain white gown, which was the style sold in the cheapest ready-to-wear shops at the gate of the city, but even the cheap material couldn't stop the man from being elegant and elegant.
The man was wearing a jade mask, with his hands behind his back, his eyes were indifferent, and his whole body exuded a madness that looked down on the world.
In his territory, he dares to be so arrogant... The Lord City Lord deeply felt that his authority was being challenged, and he narrowed his eyes coldly: "Who are you? How dare you go to the City Lord's Mansion to make trouble?"
The man stood on the porch, looked down at him, and said with a fluent Beijing accent: "If you don't want to change your name, you won't change your surname, Ji Mingxiu."
The City Lord's brain exploded immediately, and then a buzzing sound echoed in his mind. He was stunned for a while, as if a little unbelievable: "You are... Ji Mingxiu?"
The first minister of power in Daliang, the young master of the Ji family, the priest of the Yin clan... Ji Mingxiu? !
Ji Mingxiu took a full look at his expression, and knowingly asked, "It seems that City Lord Yue has heard of the truth?"
This is natural. In Daliang, is there anyone who hasn't heard of Ji Mingxiu? This man's name is even louder than the emperor, resourceful, ruthless, and decisive... Most importantly, he is still very young. Many people at his age can't even be a servant, but he has already served several times. year's prime minister.
The city owner doesn't think that the other party's ability to get to this day is all due to luck.
Then again, the checkpoints in Pucheng are stricter than the imperial palace, and the city is impenetrable. How did he get into the city
Forget it, it's fine to get in anyway, and it's impossible to drive people out when they come, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake, so what if he is the prime minister? This is Pucheng, he is a majestic city lord, will he be afraid that a Beijing official will fail
Thoughts flashed by, the humming sound in Lord City Master's mind gradually subsided, a trace of confidence surged in his heart, he looked at him coldly, and said unceremoniously: "It turns out that it is the prime minister, I don't know that the prime minister is coming, I am far away to welcome you, Disrespect, disrespect. I still hope that the prime minister will visit late at night, so why?"
"A private matter." Ji Mingxiu said calmly.
Others like to pretend to be public for personal gain, but he is good, he does not shy away from private matters at all, maybe he feels that his face is greater than that of the court
Of course, Yue Xingshan wouldn't give it to him even if it was the court's face. As for the personal one, heh, the emperor's cousin? Not to mention!
The city lord sneered: "For some private matter, the prime minister broke into the city lord's mansion at night and kidnapped Yue's daughter? Could it be that the upright prime minister of the court is so unbearable in private?"
Ji Mingxiu raised his eyebrows: "There is something even more unbearable, do you want Yuecheng to see it?"
"You..." is simply shameless!
The Lord of the City looked at the concealed door without any trace, and instinctively told him that there was someone inside. He clenched his fists and said coldly: "Ming people don't speak secretly, what do you really want?"
Ji Mingxiu said: "Hand over Yeluo's envoy."
The city lord sneered: "Since when did following the Yeluo people become the prime minister's private matter?"
Ji Mingxiu asked calmly, "Are you paying or not?"
The city lord's eyes flickered slightly.
Ji Mingxiu snorted: "It seems that you don't want your daughter's life anymore, Xiaowei, do it."
The city lord's pupils shrank: "Ji Mingxiu, how dare you! You are the prime minister! How can you kill innocent people indiscriminately? Are you worthy of being an official?! Are you still a human being?! If you dare to kill a single hair of my daughter, I will let you Can't get out of this yard!"
Ji Mingxiu was not provoked by him in the slightest. He walked down the steps slowly, walked up to him, and looked at him with deep eyes: "Pay, or not? Don't challenge the patience of the truth, all those who challenge will pay the price. "
The City Lord's throat tightened for a while when he was stared at by those deep eyes. This is a kind of crushing momentum. The other party is not joking. He is so determined that he can really do anything. I really don't know that group of Ye Luo How can people offend this prime minister!
"They have already cleared the customs with the token, even if I give the order now, it may not be too late."
"How long has it been?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
"Two moments." The city lord said humanely.
Ji Mingxiu looked at him intently: "How long will you go to the North City Gate?"
The city lord replied: "Half an hour is enough, but..." The city lord remembered the news reported by the servants, "It seems that one of them is sick and will not go too fast. I can try to stop it, but I will There is no guarantee that it will be stopped."
"Then I need a hostage, if you dare to release the water..."
Ji Mingxiu didn't say anything later, but the city lord understood that if he dared to be inattentive in the slightest, his daughter would die.
"I'm your hostage!"
A handsome young man came from behind the crowd, "My sister is not in good health, she will get sick if she goes out, please catch me."
The Lord of the City said in a low voice: "Da Lang, you are confused! Go back!"
Young Master Yue said: "Only if I go with them, they will believe that Father will do his best."
So what if you try your best? What if I can't catch up? You are in danger!
Even though we only had one face-to-face meeting, the city lord didn't think that Ji Mingxiu would be a good person. Maybe he used to be, but tonight he was enraged for some reason, and his whole body was shrouded in a huge coldness.
"Okay, it's just you." Ji Mingxiu opened his mouth.
The city lord immediately sent out the most powerful cavalry to chase after the Yeluo people and General Shen without stopping, while he himself brought a group of troops—four dead soldiers and six elite soldiers. On the surface, he was escorting Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei to the north. The city gate is actually just in case the Yeluo people have already left the city, and they want to kill their son in a fit of anger, so that they can snatch him back from their hands.
As for getting it back—
How to liquidate, how to liquidate!
…
After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, after traveling for an hour, the Yeluo people finally arrived at the North City Gate. As long as they pass through this gate, they will enter the border of the Huns. In terms of familiarity with the Huns, Ji Mingxiu is not as good as them. At that time, They are like ducks in water.
In the middle of the night, the city gates were closed.
General Shen showed the city lord's order and ordered the city guards to open the city gates and release the drawbridge.
Just as several guards pushed open the city gate with all their strength, the cavalry sent by the city lord arrived.
This cavalryman was a close friend of the city lord, and he came here in the middle of the night, probably because the city lord had some temporary orders.
General Shen rode his horse over, the cavalrymen tightened the reins, sat in the carriage, saluted General Shen, and then whispered a few words in General Shen's ear.
Cangjiu looked at the two suspiciously, and frowned involuntarily.
Suddenly, General Shen rode his horse and galloped over: "Slow—"
The guard who opened the city gate stopped.
The queen who closed her eyes and meditated slightly opened her eyes.
Cang Jiu rode forward and asked General Shen, "What do you mean, General?"
General Shen said politely: "The city lord is in a hurry to find you, please wait a moment."
Cangjiu looked at the queen in the carriage unobtrusively.
The queen lifted the curtain and shook her head slightly.
Cangjiu said: "We are really in a hurry. As you can see, our minister is sick and needs medical treatment. There is a famous doctor on the border of the Huns. We are going to find him. How about this? I will leave someone here. What does the city lord have? Tell him just to tell him, he will bring the words of the city lord truthfully. If we need to come back, we will return to Pucheng to meet the city lord after we are sick, what does the general think?"
General Shen said with a smile: "But the city lord said that this matter is not trivial and must be reported to the queen in person. Please don't make it difficult for me."
Cangjiu's tone softened and said: "What does the general mean, are you going to force me to stay here tonight?"
General Shen saw that his tone had cooled down, and his own attitude became indifferent: "When the city lord arrives and finishes speaking, he will naturally let you go."
Cangjiu snorted coldly: "You have also taken the silver, and the dead man, so you will be too fast?"
The smile on General Shen's face has completely disappeared: "You can keep these words and tell the city lord, I am only responsible for keeping you here."
"What if we insist on leaving?" Cangjiu said.
"Then don't blame Shen's subordinates for being ruthless." General Shen said, his eyes sharpened, he pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, and raised the other, "Closing the city gate—"
As soon as his words fell, Cangjiu slapped in the air, knocking all the guards who were trying to close the city gate to the ground.
General Shen's expression darkened instantly, he drew out his sword and fought Cangjiu.
When the nearby guards heard the movement, they rushed over one after another, and the two sides scuffled together.
General Shen and his party were no match for Cangjiu and the dead soldiers, but they couldn't hold back because of their large number, so they delayed for a while. When Ji Mingxiu and others arrived, the Yeluo people had just rushed out of the city gate.
The city lord looked at the mess on the ground, and General Shen, who was lying in a pool of blood and sweating profusely, got off his horse and walked over: "What's going on?"
General Shen was stabbed in the stomach, bleeding profusely. He covered the wound and said with difficulty: "The subordinates are incompetent... failed to stop them..."
The city owner frowned and said, "It's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself."
Those dead soldiers were so skilled in martial arts, how could it be possible for General Shen to beat them? If you want to blame, blame yourself for not being vigilant enough, otherwise, let General Shen also bring a few dead soldiers, maybe they will be left behind.
In fact, the city lord did not intend to betray the Yeluo people tonight. He just wanted to stabilize Ji Mingxiu and the others first, and when he saw the Yeluo people, rescue his son, and then cooperate with the Yeluo people to give Ji Mingxiu and his party Killed, but he never expected that group of Yeluo people to be so cruel, killing so many of their guards!
Qiao Wei took a look at the corpse on the ground, in fact, why didn't they guard against City Lord Yue? She even made up the lie of "I poisoned your daughter, you'd better not put a cold arrow in my back, otherwise without my antidote, your daughter will not see the sun of tomorrow", but judging from the current situation, It seems... saved
The city lord was full of anger, and there was no need for Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei to add fuel to the flames. He brought a team of elite soldiers and four dead soldiers with long swords, and chased after them murderously!
Qiao Wei took out a waterproof oil-paper bag from her bosom, took out a bottle of medicine, and threw it to General Shen: "The bleeding has stopped, let someone take your son back."
After all, he left Young Master Yue and rode out of the city gate together with Ji Mingxiu.
The city lord had already caught up with the Yeluo people, and his four long-sword slayers were entangled with the opponent's four long-sword slayers. For a while, it was hard to tell the winner.
Yeluo's guards dealt with the six elite soldiers, while the city lord himself fought with Cangjiu.
Both Fu Xueyan and the queen sat quietly in the carriage temporarily, but this tranquility was instantly shattered with the arrival of Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei.
"Mom!" Jing Yun saw Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei's heart trembled, tears almost fell down!
half a month...
She hasn't seen them for half a month...
"Where's your sister?"
Qiao Wei pulled out her dagger and jumped down.
Jing Yun said: "My sister is here!"
It's good to be here, it's good to be here...
You wait, mother is here to save you.
Qiao Wei rushed to the second carriage, but said that it was too late and then too fast, a red silk shot from the first carriage, wrapped around Qiao Wei's waist, Qiao Wei couldn't run anymore, she swung her dagger, Slashed towards Hong Ling!
But who knows, as soon as she made a move, another red silk shot over, entangled her right hand.
Whoosh!
Ji Mingxiu's arrow flew over and pierced Hong Ling like lightning.
Qiao Wei was finally able to move. She ran to the carriage, grabbed the window with her backhand, and broke it hard to remove the entire express carriage!
"Mom!" Jing Yun threw himself at Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei reached out to hug him, but Jing Yun was swept away by a red silk before touching him.
Qiao Wei's hand was empty.
Also swept away was Wang Shu who was soundly asleep.
The queen gave the two children to Cangjiu and Fu Xueyan, and said with a sneer: "You go first."
Cangjiu carried Jing Yun and walked away.
Fu Xueyan's eyelashes trembled, and she also left with Wangshu in a different path.
The queen took out a blood moon bow from behind.
This is the bow of the national teacher. This time she hijacked Wang Shu and took away Wang Shu's treasure chest, which included the Blood Moon Bow.
"You go first." Ji Mingxiu said with gazing eyes.
Qiao Wei was stunned: "But you..."
The Blood Moon Bow will stimulate the palm poison in his body, which is probably why they used Nine Sun Palms to deal with Princess Zhaoming. Because of the palm poison, they can no longer touch the Blood Moon Bow.
Ji Mingxiu looked at the queen coldly, and stood in front of Qiao Wei without fear: "Listen to me, you go after the child."
