Seeing the crown prince leave triumphantly, Gao Heng knew that the time was urgent, and for the safety of Cheng Jinzhi and Yan Wangfu, he could no longer affect the overall situation because of any personal grievances. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unexpectedly, Princess Yuanxi had left the palace alone not long ago, and she didn't know where she went.

But Gao Heng knew that she suspected that she and her brother had conspired to capture Cheng Jinzhi, and she must have gone to the post house in the west of the city to find Yuan Peng at this moment.

So after instructing his subordinates to keep an eye on the prince's every move at all times, he went out of the house and rushed to Ruoshuiju accompanied by Shen Jun.

At this time, Ruoshui was inside, the silver bottle and copper furnace were burning with elegant white pear incense, and Princess Yuanxi was leaning on the desk with her eyes closed and motionless, with a tea cup in her hand that she had drunk two sips.

And looking at his sister who was already unconscious in front of him, Yuan Peng's eyes dimly took a deep breath, and then he leaned down slightly, and raised his hand to cover Princess Yuan Xi's quiet face.

"Xi'er, forgive me, you can sleep well......"

"Your Highness, the carriage and horses to escort the princess out of the city have been prepared. ”

At this moment, he saw Yuan Peng's personal guard step into the room, which made him break free from the spreading guilt, withdraw his gaze from Princess Yuan Xi, and turn his face and straighten up.

"Okay, are King Yan's people still guarding outside?"

"It's still guarding the front and back doors. ”

Yuan Peng nodded when he heard this: "Then according to what I said before, after I get out of the car, you will escort the princess out of the city to avoid the limelight for a while." Anyway, as soon as those people see that I have left the inn, they will definitely follow them, and when the time comes, you and the people who are outside the city will know what to do. ”

According to Yuan Peng's thoughts, Gao Heng couldn't find Princess Yuanxi in the mansion, and he would definitely go to Ruoshuiju in person after a while.

Since Gao Heng's men saw with their own eyes that he had left in a carriage, he would naturally believe that the people were no longer in the inn.

At that time, even if he didn't give up on going into the post house to find someone, he would never be able to find half of the shadow of the two brothers and sisters.

As long as Gao Heng can't find Princess Yuanxi within the time limit set by the prince, the first step he and the prince have planned will be successful.

And half an hour after Yuan Peng and Princess Yuan Xi left in the carriage, Gao Heng and Shen Jun were already in front of the main gate of Ruoshui Ju.

"What did you say? King Heng and Princess Yuanxi left in a carriage half an hour ago?"

Hearing what the subordinates who stayed in front of the post house said, Gao Heng's face sank, and he faintly had a hint of foreboding in his heart.

At this critical juncture, the key person who can most affect the overall situation is missing, no matter how you look at it, it is not as simple as a coincidence.

"Do you know where they went?"

Gao Heng frowned and looked at the high wall in front of him, surrounded by green willows, and the corners of his eyes were piled up with a solemn and grim color.

"I don't know yet. But rest assured, Your Highness, that our men are already on their heels, and we will soon know where they have gone. ”

"It was my negligence that I should have let you stop him. Gao Heng sighed reproachfully, and turned to look at Shen Jun beside him, "Just in case, Shen Jun, you better bring someone in to have a look, be sure to look carefully." ”

As soon as Gao Heng's words fell, Shen Jun led the group into Ruoshui Residence, and after a while, he saw that the carriage that Gu Hanqing was riding in stopped at the main entrance.

After the carriage came to a stop, he was hurriedly helped by the attendants to step out of the carriage, because he had not slept all night, and because he was injured, the whole person looked a little tired and haggard.

However, even though his body is weak, there is no weakness between his eyebrows, on the contrary, there is a persistent and tenacious momentum.

Gao Heng knew at a glance that behind this momentum, he was full of determination to find Cheng Jinzhi.

"Hanqing, what are you doing here?"

Gao Heng looked at Gu Hanqing standing in front of him in surprise, although his tone was a little cold and hard, but it still revealed a clear sense of concern.

"Since you are injured, you should take care of it at home, I told you about the golden branch, I will find a way. ”

"I have been to the palace just now, and I heard that the prince has come. ”

Gu Hanqing didn't take Gao Heng's words, but looked at him with a solemn expression, and his eyes were already cloudy.

"There are a lot of people here, I'll tell you about this later, the top priority now is to find Princess Yuanxi and King Heng. ”

"It turns out... The person who captured the golden branch was really the prince. ”

Gu Hanqing pursed his blood-pale lips, the color of resentment on his face suddenly appeared, and after a short silence, his eyes turned slightly.

"But I have not come here to inquire about His Highness on this matter, but I have another urgent matter to inform. ”

"Urgent?"

Gao Heng's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he saw Gu Hanqing bowing slightly, and after subconsciously looking around, he invited him to sit in the carriage that escorted him.

"Although the gang of men in black who attacked me and Jin Zhi yesterday were all covered with their faces, and they couldn't see all of their faces clearly. But fortunately, I was quite impressed by the eyes of the leader of the man, so I drew a rough portrait from memory. ”

Gu Hanqing took out a roll of paper from his sleeve as he spoke, he slowly unfolded the paper, Gao Heng took a closer look, and saw a man's head painted on it.

Although most of his face was obscured by a black cloth, making it impossible to distinguish his appearance, the eyes that were exposed to the outside were portrayed in a very realistic and expressive way, revealing a fierce and dark aura.

"Just looking at this person, just looking at these eyes, how easy is it to know his identity?"

Gao Heng narrowed his eyes and stared at the portrait in his hand, falling into a deep thought.

"This rivers and lakes hide dragons and crouching tigers, entrenched in too many capable people, and it is also a place with wide connections. This person is extraordinary, and he is quite imposing between his words and deeds, and his subordinates do not seem to be among a group of rabble, so I guess that he may have some background in the rivers and lakes. ”

Gu Hanqing covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice when he said this, and after adjusting his breath, he continued: "I originally just gave a reward order with the mentality of giving it a try, as long as anyone can identify the identity of this person, they can get ten thousand taels of gold." Unexpectedly, someone really recognized him. ”

"What did you say?"

The muscles on Gao Heng's cheeks jumped, and he approached Gu Hanqing and deepened his eyes, as if he didn't expect him to start here.

"So where did this man come from?"

His name is Xiao Yuan, because he regards wealth as his life, so the people in the rivers and lakes call him "silver does not change", and he was also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes back then. ”

Gu Hanqing said unhurriedly, the ripples in his eyes floated slightly, flashing with bursts of deep ghostly light.

"Moreover, he used to be the second gang leader of the Qinghe Gang. ”
