"Xiao Jiu ......" Jiang Zhengxi became more and more reluctant, he suddenly wanted to regret it, he didn't want Yan Ruojiu to take risks at all, but this was Yan Ruojiu's wish, he reluctantly agreed, there was a fluke before, but now, he really regretted it, holding Yan Ruojiu's hand, he didn't want to let go.

Jiang Zhengxi ......" Yan Ruojiu didn't know his reluctance, she struggled for a long time, and even her heart was a little inexplicably hesitant, but his father and Zi Ranhe were in prison, she couldn't, couldn't be selfish, couldn't ......

"Little Nine...... What should I do, I really can't let go, I can't......" Jiang Zhengxi really regretted it.

Jiang Zhengxi...... Believe me, when I come back, when this matter settles down, I ...... I'll marry you! This is Yan Ruojiu's truest thoughts in her heart in this situation, without the slightest prevarication or artificiality.

Yan Ruojiu's assurance was like a heavy blow, hitting Jiang Zhengxi's heart hard, and his arms were hugged tighter and tighter.

His throbbing, his nervousness, his trepidation, his excitement, his bewilderment all melted into this tight embrace.

hugged each other tightly, Yan Ruojiu seemed to be suffocating for a moment, and Jiang Zhengxi finally let go of his hand.

Yan Ruojiu looked up at Jiang Zhengxi, then stood on tiptoe, kissed Jiang Zhengxi lightly on the lips, held his face and said firmly: "When I come back, I'll leave......"

"Little Jiu......" Jiang Zhengxi's heart trembled.

"Let's go!" Yan Ruojiu held back her tears and turned over on her horse.

"Little Jiu......" Jiang Zhengxi's eyes were red.

"Jiang Zhengxi, wait for me to come back, wait for me!" Yan Ruojiu shouted at Jiang Zhengxi, turned around and set off.

Jiang Zhengxizi shouted behind him: "Inkstone! If you take care of her, you must protect her! ā€

"Childe, don't worry, the little one will definitely send Miss Yan safely!" The inkstone swore on horseback, and then everyone disappeared into the night.

In Nuoda's courtyard, Jiang Zhengxi, who was single, looked at the courtyard gate, in a daze......

The wind is blowing......

Jiang Zhengxi promised to hide it for Yan Ruojiu, so he didn't say a word about the Mo family in the Yan Mansion and the imprisoned Yan Shuqing, and he was the only one who suffered all the panic and worries.

In the Palace of Cultivating the Heart, the prince who was ordered to search the Yan Mansion had just returned to the situation and withdrew.

Father-in-law Zhou on the side hesitated and didn't dare to speak.

The emperor looked at the list in his hand, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that Yan Shuqing, a fourth-grade general, is not very rich, this Fei Ziran is even more so, among the items searched, books account for most of them, by the way, there are also a few pots of camellias, hey...... I suddenly couldn't bear it. ā€

"Your Majesty......" Father-in-law Zhou was a little afraid to answer casually.

"Father-in-law Zhou, how much do you remember about the events of that year?" The emperor put down the list in his hand and turned his head to ask Zhou Gonggong.

"Uh......" Father-in-law Zhou hesitated.

"Like, right?" The emperor seemed to recall.

"Uh......" Grandpa Zhou was still a little afraid to speak.

"Hehe, what's wrong? I remember when Xiao Yan was exiled, didn't you also intercede for him? Now, why don't you speak? The emperor's question made Father-in-law Zhou tremble inexplicably.

"Your Majesty ......" Gonggong Zhou began to break out in a cold sweat, because he couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking at the moment, and he didn't know what to say or what not to say, and the more the emperor asked him, the more nervous he became.

"Is that why you didn't report it?" The Emperor suddenly changed his words.

The cold questioning made Gonggong Zhou, who had always been calm and calm, unable to suppress his panic, and knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed and confessed: "The old slave deserves to die, the old slave deserves to die......"

The emperor listened to Gonggong Zhou's confession, squinted his eyes and looked up and down, and suddenly laughed: "Hehe...... Ay...... You...... How can I be so sure that I will be the same as that time? ā€

"Your Majesty?" Father-in-law Zhou was desperately flustered, but he didn't miss this exclamation, but it was like this, Father-in-law Zhou became more and more confused, what did the emperor mean?

"I always knew that there was something else going on, but unfortunately, I was powerless at that time, and it was not easy to save his life...... the emperor sighed.

"The emperor's ......" Gonggong Zhou never knew that the emperor actually thought like this, when he exiled Marquis Xiao, he was somewhat embarrassed in his heart, and he once argued for him, but unfortunately, he was unable to return to the sky, and he never dared to mention this matter again, and now he ......

"Fei Ziran, this kid, I really like it, but it's a pity...... He's too stubborn......" the emperor sighed helplessly, frowning.

"Your Majesty, since you think that Marquis Xiao's matter is indeed suspicious, why do you still ...... And to imprison the two of them? Zhou Gonggong thought about it for two days, but he still didn't understand the emperor's intentions.

"If I don't imprison the two of them, I'm afraid there will be two more lives at this moment." The Emperor shook his head and sighed.

"Your Majesty?" Gonggong Zhou naturally understood the deep meaning of the emperor's words, he raised his head and said with a stunned expression: "Are you worried that the Nangong family will do a black hand?" ā€

"Why Xiao Yan was willing to take the initiative to accept exile and dismiss everyone in the mansion back then, I guess there were some concerns about this." The emperor said helplessly.

"In this way, Marquis Xiao was first-class in the northwest back then, and there was no news of it, which was also deliberate?" Gonggong Zhou was almost sure.

"Whew...... Up and down the Xiao family, there are only two of them left, in order to save their lives, I will also make this choice. "The Emperor seems to have understood all along.

"The old slave understood...... "Gonggong Zhou is the best of the best, the emperor said a few words, he has fully understood the emperor's good intentions, maybe this incident is not so accidental as imagined."

"Hey...... Tomorrow, Xuan Zhengxi will come to the palace, I have something to tell him. The emperor frowned and commanded.

"Yes, the old slave knows." Father-in-law Zhou nodded.

The next day, in the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and on the official road to the north, Yan Ruojiu and Yantai were galloping under the escort of the eldest princess's personal guards.

The night passed, and the crowd had already galloped hundreds of miles without stopping.

So far, however, the team has been safe and has not encountered any danger or obstacles......

It was almost noon, and Jiang Zhengxi hurried to the palace.

In the womb of the Five Emperors, everything is still calm, in the study, the five princes are still reading, and Yan Ruolan accompanies the house.

Not long after, the little maid outside the door returned, Concubine Yuwen arrived, and the fifth prince and Yan Ruolan hurriedly greeted them.

After a few polite words, Yan Ruolan was separated by Yuwen Guifei, and the fifth prince accompanied Yuwen Guifei into the study.

In the study, without waiting for Concubine Yuwen to sit down, the fifth prince was a little anxious and said, "Mother, how did you help your son inquire about that matter?" ā€

"Xuan'er, it's been too long, and there aren't many people who have experienced that incident alive, and the mother concubine doesn't have any eyebrows yet, but ...... I've asked your grandfather to help me inquire outside the palace, and I believe that if that's the case, there will be some clues. Yuwen Guifei sighed.

"Whew...... I hope it's not true......" the Fifth Prince shook his head.

"Xuan'er, how did you come up with that place for this matter?" Concubine Yuwen is still puzzled.

"Mother...... I also overheard the legend in the market, and with what happened now, I had to be cautious. The Fifth Prince explained.

"Whew...... It's just that it's too ...... Ay...... Back then, your father almost washed half of the palace in blood for this matter, so ...... Almost no one dares to talk about it anymore, so you have to be careful. Concubine Yuwen reminded.

"Son knows......" The fifth prince nodded.

"That's good, that's good......" For some reason, since the fifth prince raised the matter, Concubine Yuwen felt flustered inexplicably, and now looking at her son's worried appearance, the uneasiness seems to be more obvious......

In a blink of an eye, it was night again, and on the official road to the north, Yan Ruojiu was still moving non-stop, and he had already passed Los Angeles, and he was still about half the way from Liangzhou.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, the autumn wind was bleak, and a strange sound suddenly came from outside the regular horse team.

The inkstone sped up and caught up with Yan Ruojiu with two whips, and shouted: "Miss Yan, we are afraid that we will be targeted." ā€

Yan Ruojiu turned back in the dark night with the faint moonlight, and a strange firelight in the depths of the darkness was moving rapidly towards them, and the sound sounded like it was well-trained.

On horseback, Yan Ruojiu pondered for a moment and asked, "How long have you been with us?" ā€

"It started at the last station." The inkstone replied.

"How many are there?" Yan Ruojiu didn't stop the white horse that sat down, and asked while holding the reins.

"The guards said, listening to the voice, there should be no less, it is estimated that there will be at least one hundred and ten people." The inkstone replied.

"Tell everyone to be careful, it is best to get rid of it, if you can't, or the other party takes the initiative to attack, then you can only come hard." Yan Ruojiu frowned and ordered.

"Yes." The inkstone nodded, and then passed the message on.

All the guards knew it, and the horses under their crotches became more and more anxious.

Maybe it was because he realized that it was exposed, and just when Yan Ruojiu ordered everyone to speed up, hoping to get rid of the tail followers directly, the pursuers in the shadows also sped up.

After maintaining a safe distance for nearly half a day, it was suddenly broken, and the pursuers seemed to be a little impatient, faintly as if they were about to make a move.

The guards were all on high alert, and they were all ready to go, and Yan Ruojiu and Yantai were no exception.

Suddenly, the chasing soldiers behind him exerted their strength, and the soldiers were divided into three ways and almost outflanked Yan Ruojiu and his party.

Yan Ruojiu realized that this battle could not be avoided and could not be escaped, so she simply stopped her horse and prepared to face it head-on.

The pursuers took the opportunity to surround them.

Yan Tai shouted, "Protect Miss Yan!" ā€

All the guards immediately drew their swords and faced each other, and they all walked towards Yan Ruojiu's guards.

The inkstone is tightly guarded.

For a while, in the dark night, on the cold and lonely official road, the two teams of people quickly formed a confrontation situation, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. (To be continued.) )
