Chapter 153: Investigation
The crowd was silent.
A thin cold sweat broke out on Deng Chenglu's back.
No wonder Cao Xuan and the eldest lady of the Bai family were so strange just now, it turned out that they had already suspected that the emperor had kidnapped the county lord of Jianan, so the eldest lady of the Bai family was afraid that the people serving around the county lord of Jianan would be killed, so she pleaded with Cao Xuan, but Cao Xuan asked the eldest lady of the Bai family to call all the people who served around the county lord of Jianan together, and said something "What should have happened has happened"......
Those people will really be given to die, right?
Although Deng Chenglu was born in a noble family, his family had a simple population and lived an extremely harmonious life, which he had only heard of and had never encountered.
He couldn't help but tremble and said: "Since it's just a suspicion, I think it's better to find out if this matter was done by the emperor." Otherwise, when the news comes out, the lord of Jianan can only marry the emperor......"
Deng Chenglu said, glancing at Zhao Xiao.
There are a lot of people around the county lord of Jianan who have served her since childhood, and if something happens to these people, the county lord of Jianan will definitely be very sad.
He wants to save these people - if it is the emperor who kidnaps the lord of Jianan, then the lord of Jianan is the one who wants to be the queen, and this behavior of the emperor will damage the reputation of the lord of Jianan, and others will not think that the emperor is wrong, but will only think that the lord of Jianan has seduced the emperor. As the empress, the county lord of Jianan cannot spread such a reputation, and those who serve the county lord of Jianan will definitely be disposed of. But if the person is not taken away by the emperor, the county lord of Jianan does not need to be the queen, anyone is still her, and the rank is below her, and she is not qualified to accuse her, only if she is willing or unwilling to accept it, those who serve around her will naturally not need to be punished.
Deng Chenglu's words made Zhao Xiao take a deep breath.
He really likes Jiang Xian.
And he believes that even if the emperor kidnaps Jiang Xian, with Jiang Xian's person, the emperor will not hurt her.
The most important thing now is how to get Jiang Xian out.
It is necessary to rescue it quietly.
Zhao Yi is the emperor after all, if he feels that his dignity has been offended, who dares to guarantee that he will not be killed!
From the fact that Zhao Yi actually stabbed Zhao Xiao with a sword in Renshou Palace, it can be seen how crazy Zhao Yi is.
But one thing is more important than that.
Zhao Xiao glanced at Deng Chenglu and said to Jiang Lu: "Ah Lu, as long as Jianan doesn't change her original intention, I won't lose her!"
Jiang Lu patted Zhao Xiao's shoulder on the side that was not injured with relief.
Whether it's true or not, at least Zhao Xiao showed his attitude in front of everyone.
It was not in vain that the Jiang family and Cining Palace both chose him.
Jiang Lu said to Wang Zhan: "You are in the Praetorian Guard, and only you are convenient to inquire about this matter." Take advantage of this time when the gates of the city are not closed, and hurry back to the city. If it's too late, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until tomorrow. ”
This kind of thing, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for them.
Wang Zhan's face was gloomy and ugly, he nodded silently, strode out, and shouted the names of his entourage, asking "Is the horse ready?" After a while, his figure disappeared in front of everyone.
Jin Xiao sighed, regretted and blamed himself, "If only I hadn't invited the county lord of Jianan to come to the grange?"
Jiang Lu knew that everyone was in a bad mood, but this was not the time to say this.
He comforted Jin Xiao and said, "If he really did it, even if there is no this time, there will be a next time." ”
Jin Xiao nodded, hesitated for a few breaths, and said, "Brother Alu, I am also responsible for this matter, what you need me to do, just command." I also hope to find the Lord of Jianan sooner. ”
Jiang Lu smiled at him gratefully.
Deng Chenglu muttered in his heart.
This golden night is really long-sleeved and good at dancing, and he took this opportunity to shout "Brother Alu" to Jiang Lu.
It can be seen that those who can achieve the three grades, whether they are civil officials or military generals, have their own advantages.
If the emperor kidnapped the county lord of Jianan, where would he hide her?
Deng Chenglu looked at the weeds with green shoots emerging from the ground, and fell into deep thought again.

The moonlight shrouded the dense woods, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground.
Li Qian sat cross-legged under the big tree covered with lichen, opened his shirt, exposed his upper body with distinct abdominal muscles, and rubbed Yu Qing on his chest with safflower oil.
Yunlin, who was not far away, struggled for a long time, and finally walked over lightly, and said in a low voice: "County Lord, rest?"
Li Qian bowed his head, his hand was vigorous, and he let out a "hiss" cry of pain.
Yun Lin couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'll help you, right?"
"No need. Li Qian looked at the silent Wupeng carriage, his eyes were full of tenderness that could not be misunderstood, and he said in a low voice, "I'd rather be more painful and punish me on her behalf!"
Maybe it's too good at night, maybe the beautiful woman is by his side, or maybe there are some things that have been held in his heart and don't have a chance to say to others.
Li Qian paused, and then said, "It's not that I didn't think about it. Even I thought, in a few years, she gave birth to a child, I bought some small things for the child to play with and pretended to inadvertently pass by Fujian to visit her, if Zhao Xiao is more generous, I may be able to be the child's god/father, and in the future, add a flower jacket to her child a year, that is, when she is old, her child will occasionally come to visit my uncle for the sake of my friendship with her. But as long as I thought that she would snuggle up to Zhao Xiao's side, I felt like someone had been stabbed in the chest, unwilling, unwilling, and the more I thought about it, the more unwilling I became...... Obviously, I met it first, why did she marry someone else...... Even if God wants to play tricks on me, I won't be at his mercy!"
Yun Lin was silent.
Lovesick and obsessed, he always feels a little dangerous. But Li Qian is the person he respects, the person he decided to follow all his life, and those words of dissuasion should not be said by him.
He sat under the tree with Li Qian.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of potions.
Yun Lin looked at Yu Qing on Li Qian's body and wanted to laugh.
Li Qian has never been beaten so badly when he is about to grow so big, right?
He said: "Why don't we take the small road? If we continue like this, it will take us seven or eight days to get to Shanxi, and if Jiang Lu and Zhao Xiao chase after us, it will be troublesome." Or let's go faster and hurry at night......"
"No, no!" Li Qian vetoed without thinking about it, "Her health is not good, I am already very sorry for her when I kidnap her, and I can't let her suffer in food and clothing anymore." ”
Yun Lin said helplessly: "Then what if they chase after ......"
"When it's time to fight hard, you have to fight hard. Li Qian said calmly, looking like he would do his best and go on willingly no matter what kind of predicament he encountered in the future, "I will never let go!"
Yun Lin knew that nothing could make Li Qian change his mind at this time, so he simply said: "Then let Liu Dongyue ride a horse tomorrow! I asked Liu Dongyue, and he said that he would ride a horse." ”
"Let's let him take the carriage!" Li Qian said, "The county lord of Jianan usually has no people around him, let Liu Dongyue sleep in the carriage during the day and be on duty at night, so that the county lord wakes up in the middle of the night and has someone to serve." ”
Like now, Liu Dongyue is in Jiang Xian's carriage.

Dear friends, the monthly pass is 2850 plus more!
O(∩_∩)O~
PS: Dear friends, in view of the fact that many reading terminals are now slow to respond to the content of the revised text, I will explain to you a few revised places.
One is Fang's younger brother. After Jiang Xian became regent, he immediately killed him. In order not to repeat it at length, I will mention it in chapter 146 and I will not explain this person again.
The second is about Yunlin's position. I confused Shanhaiguan with Juyongguan. Yunlin later served as the chief soldier of Juyong Pass.
