Duan Ling watched Ren Qianhu leave, and then opened the small bag in his hand. In the bag is a pair of children's tiger head shoes, the soles are dense, and the tiger heads on the upper are vividly embroidered, which is actually Lan Zhi's craftsmanship.

It had been two days since Duan Ling was taken back to Ningyi Courtyard. With Su Mingyu's experience in the past, coupled with Qiu Yucheng's knowledge of Duan Ling's ability, Ningyi Courtyard was guarded and impermeable. Duan Ling felt that if he was given a year and a half, he might still be able to escape when the garrison gradually relaxed, but now, he only had two months. Su Mingyu will plan to succeed to the throne in two months, and once the rescue of the Central Plains people is in the light of the world, all kinds of doubts will add up enough for the saint to convict him of his crimes.

Duan Ling should have been apprehensive because of this, but he found that he was even more desperate for Lan Zhi to escape safely. Qiu Yucheng did not restrict Ren Qianhu and others from entering and leaving Ningyi Courtyard, but did not allow Lan Zhi to come to see him. Duan Ling had already learned from Ren Qianhu that Qiu Yucheng had only sent someone to closely monitor Lan Zhi, and had no other presumptuous actions.

Duan Ling suspected that Qiu Yucheng was doing this, and he was simply giving him and Lan Zhi a chance to make mistakes. Although many of that person's speculations are correct, they are only "speculations", and if you want to put Duan Ling to death, you must find real evidence. Qiu Yucheng did not know that Su Mingyu would ascend the throne soon, so he had to try to find other evidence. And the dilemma of separation makes people anxious, and Qiu Yucheng is waiting for them to reveal their flaws.

Duan Ling flipped through the tiger head shoes in his hand and examined them carefully, but found nothing abnormal, so he breathed a sigh of relief: these were just ordinary small shoes, and Lan Zhi gave them to him just to appease his feelings of longing.

Duan Ling was inexplicably a little proud in his heart: Lan Zhi had been dealing with him for a long time before, she had never been arrogant or impatient, and one blow was fatal, maybe he should believe her. But then, he became worried again. Before, she could be fatal with one blow, but it was because he was blinded by emotion. Now her opponent is Qiu Yucheng, and the situation is really unfavorable.

Fortunately, Lan Zhi, who was worried by Duan Ling, was very sober. After hearing the news that Duan Ling was under house arrest in Ningyi Hospital, she made a request to return to her home. At that time, Qiu Yucheng had already found a carriage destroyed by fire at the bottom of the cliff nearly a hundred miles away from Haotian City. The carriage was burned and broken, except that the carriage was slightly darker than the others, and there was nothing strange about it. Everyone thought that this carriage was irrelevant, but Qiu Yucheng decided that he had found another evidence that Su Mingyu was being covered.

When he heard the news that Lan Zhi asked to return home, Qiu Yucheng was shocked. He felt that Lan Zhi couldn't hold his breath and planned to act. Although returning to the city would make it more difficult for the guards, Qiu Yucheng was determined to lure the snake out of the hole. He readily agreed to Lan Zhi's request, and even allowed Lan Zhi to move freely in the city, but secretly strengthened the garrison and asked his subordinates to pay attention everywhere.

The subordinates tensed their nerves. They hid outside the Duan Mansion, and when they saw Lan Zhi going out, they all set out together, and followed them openly and secretly. Ke Lanzhi just went to Ningyi Courtyard and asked to see Duan Ling. The guards of Ningyi Courtyard received Qiu Yucheng's order, but they were not allowed, Lan Zhi couldn't reason with them, and stood outside Ningyi Courtyard for a long time with a blank expression, and finally had to turn back to the house.

After that, Lan Zhi seemed to understand the seriousness of the matter and began to run around begging for help. Every day, she would go to the bazaar to buy some gifts and then knock on an official's door. Most of these officials were important members of the court and China, and they had the opportunity to meet the saint in person, but they did not know why Duan Ling was under house arrest. They were still afraid of Duan Ling and didn't dare to offend Lan Zhi, so they could only receive it well. Lan Zhi begged them to intercede for Duan Ling in front of the Holy Lord.

Some officials will agree, others will be perfunctory. Lan Zhi ran for more than a month, but Duan Ling was still locked up in Ningyi Courtyard. It made her look even more depressed. And Qiu Yucheng's subordinates followed her to this month, and they were even more tired.

Gradually, among the soldiers guarding the garrison, some people began to doubt Qiu Yucheng's words. They followed Lan Zhi for many days, and they didn't notice anything wrong at all. This is obviously just a wife who is worried about her husband's safety, and she is trying hard to rescue her husband. She was pregnant, and she should have rested in peace, but she could only hold on, and they even saw her break down and cry on a deserted street. How can such a helpless woman be a fine worker?

The soldiers didn't know why Duan Ling was placed under house arrest by Qiu Yucheng, but Qiu Yucheng was just a chief of internal affairs, but Duan Ling was the deputy envoy of Huweiwei, and the soldiers were already partial in their hearts. In addition, rumors arose again, saying that Duan Ling had gone to Qiu Yucheng's mansion to raid his house and had a grudge with Qiu Yucheng, and Qiu Yucheng seized the opportunity to frame Duan Ling this time, simply to avenge himself.

These rumors were reprimanded and suppressed by the secret guards of their own team leader, but the hearts of the people could not be controlled. Qiu Yucheng once told everyone that no matter what Lan Zhi went to see the official, he must thoroughly investigate the official: ask Lan Zhi what she said, whether the secret agent official had a close relationship with the Central Plains, check whether there are Central Plains people among the officials' wives and children, and find out if there is anything strange about the family in recent days......

At first, the soldiers were able to carry out these orders one by one, but in recent days, they have gradually slackened. The questioning was just a walk, and he was careless when he followed Lan Zhi. So this morning, when they found Lan Zhi missing in a dead end, they were shocked.

has its own secret guard to inform Qiu Yucheng urgently. Soon, martial law was imposed throughout the city, and the garrison of the capital was dispatched, and the soldiers spread around the dead end, searching for Lan Zhi from house to house. And Lan Zhi, who stirred up Haotian City, was already a few streets away at this time, and secretly met with Xiao Jianchu.

Xiao Jianchu changed his face and left the Sifang car dealership as early as when Su Mingyu fled. Qiu Yucheng pounced, and was ashamed for a while. When Lan Zhi saw Xiao Jianchu again, he was already the gentle appearance in his memory, with black hair and black eyes, pale complexion, and plain robes, but those eyes were still dull.

There was a young man standing next to Xiao Jianchu, who was the nephew of General Xiao who was connected with Lan Zhi in the palace at the beginning. He smiled at Lan Zhi, but said softly to Xiao Jianchu, "Uncle, Mrs. Duan is here." ”

Xiao Jianchu was sitting cross-legged at the coffee table drinking tea, and when he heard this, his face did not change, but his hand subconsciously grasped the teacup. When the young man saw it, he said on the side: "Uncle has been angry with me these days, and thinks that I have harmed you and Master Duan by taking it upon myself to act. This time you invited him to meet, and he still felt that he didn't have the face to see you......"

Xiao Jianchu's face froze, and he shouted coldly: "Xiao Zhiyu! ”

Xiao Zhiyu lowered his eyebrows and responded, but said, "Those two talk, I'll go first." ”

Xiao Jianchu's eyebrows twitched. The young man closed the door, Xiao Jianchu coughed lightly, and was about to say something, but Lan Zhi opened her mouth first: "It is my own decision to rescue His Highness, you don't have to feel guilty about it." Just now, I want to ask you for help. ”

Xiao Jianchu sighed: "Ah Zhi...... The Central Plains Mission is not here, and my manpower in Haotian City is not enough to help you rescue Duan Ling. ”

Lan Zhi immediately said, "I don't need you to rescue Duan Ling for me. She exhaled: "You just need to send a message to Su Mingyu and ask him to postpone his succession for two months." I'm just asking for a little more time...... Someone else takes care of the rest. ”

After saying this, she looked at Xiao Jianchu for a moment. Xiao Jianchu just acquiesced. Lan Zhi was familiar with him, and the calm expression on her face couldn't be maintained any longer: "Jian Chu, you can help me this time!" After Duan Ling and I escape, we will definitely find a way to repay you for your kindness!" ”

Xiao Jianchu shook his head slowly: "No......" He said in a low voice: "The Central Plains has long been preparing for the succession, just waiting for the prince to return to China to hold a ceremony." Let them postpone ...... I'm afraid it's hard. ”

Lan Zhi leaned over, half of her body pressed on the coffee table: "It's not difficult!" You just need to convince Su Mingyu. After the Ren family saddled his horse for him, you also ruined your own eyes for him, and he also needed you to collect information for him in Haotian City...... He'll definitely sell you this favor! ”

Xiao Jianchu was still silent. This silent refusal made the strings in Lan Zhi's heart suddenly break, and the worries that had been suppressed for days exploded at this time. Lan Zhi grabbed Xiao Jianchu's hand and roared in a low voice: "Duan Ling has been in Ningyi Courtyard for forty-five days!" Qiu Yucheng is a pervert, and he has new and old grudges with Duan Ling, this time he seized the opportunity, and he didn't know how to torture Duan Ling! I can't sleep day and night, but I can't see him......"

At this point, the sound suddenly stopped, replaced by a panting sound that changed the key. Xiao Jianchu's fingers dug into the wooden surface of the coffee table, and his body shook invisibly. A moment later, the woman's muffled sobs rang out. Xiao Jianchu only felt that the voice was like a knife, cutting in his heart one by one. His lips trembled, but in the end he just muttered, "I'm sorry ......."

He stood up and walked to Lan Zhi's side, fumbling to help her shoulder. Lan Zhi suddenly turned around, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and knelt at his feet: "Jian Chu! I'm begging you! I know you must have a way to ......"

She grabbed the corner of Xiao Jianchu's clothes and curled up at his feet, her body trembling slightly. Xiao Jianchu could barely stand. He could actually deceive her and tell her that there was nothing he could do, but he still told the truth: "Zhongyuan has long made an agreement with Dongli, Baihan and other countries to raise troops to resist Yuyuan two months later. If His Highness delays the succession, it will be a great blow to the morale of several countries......"

Lan Zhi's crying stopped. She was silent for a long time, and suddenly let out a low chuckle. Xiao Jianchu was panicked: "Ah Zhi ......"

Lan Zhi let go of the corners of his clothes. She leaned over the coffee table and said to herself as if reminiscing about the past: "Yes...... yes, I shouldn't have come to you. She said softly: "In order to restore the country, you can even let go of your family feuds, and you can even dismiss your eyes...... How could you make an exception for me. ”

Xiao Jianchu opened his mouth several times, but felt that his heart was hanged, and finally said nothing. Lan Zhi cried this scene, but calmed down. She wiped away her tears and stood up, and finally said resentfully: "Then I wish Lord Xiao a great success, and Lan Zhi will not bother." ”

She was about to leave, Xiao Jianchu listened to the voice, and hurriedly reached out to grab her hand, but she avoided her. Xiao Jianchu hurriedly called: "Ah Zhi, wait! ”

Lan Zhi paused: "What else does Lord Xiao command?" She said indifferently: "Oh, I almost forgot, no matter what I ordered, with my current situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for you." ”

Her sneering appearance made Xiao Jianchu feel better. Xiao Jianchu stumbled to her side, with a look on his face that almost begged: "Ah Zhi, don't go back." Hide here for a few days, and when the limelight passes, I'll send you away. ”

Lan Zhi lowered her head and said lightly: "I'm not leaving." When the day of the rise of your great cause will be the time when Duan Ling will be imprisoned. At that time, I will find a reliable person to rob the prisoner while I am escorted. If you can't save him......"

She chuckled almost inaudibly, pushed the door and left, and the voice came faintly: "...... And I died with him. 166 Reading Network
