Since Nangong Ze lost his trace, there was first a commotion in the palace, and then slowly some rumors were revealed, saying that the emperor had completely lost his news, and the entire dynasty was in chaos, and even General Yang Dacheng, who had been guarding the border all the year round, had returned to Beijing, which made the atmosphere in the capital chaotic to the extreme.

On this day, several ministers were discussing in a mansion, led by Nie Zongming, the left minister, who sat at the front, listening to the discussion of the ministers below, his gray eyebrows wrinkled deeper, and his face full of wrinkles had a solemn expression.

"What can I do? The emperor is gone, and even the prince has no news! Ye Xu's anxious tone made people feel more urgent, now there is no leader in the capital, and the ministers of the court and the central government are divided into two factions, one is looking for Nangong Ze, and the other is looking for Nangong Jue, what they don't know is that Nangong Jue and Nangong Ze actually disappeared together, Yang Fang learned about the ghost house or heard about it from the mouth of a maid in Nangong Ze's dormitory, and now these two people have no news, and there are no other princes, so the strange question of who to find first prevails.

And the general Zhang Feiyue said: "Why don't we send someone to the fiefdom to find the prince?" Maybe he went back to the fiefdom, that time the palace fire, no one found the body of the prince, the emperor said that he wanted to investigate but there was no result, anyway, I don't believe that the prince died like this. ”

"Well, it's also possible, the prince has lived in the fief for a while, and if he leaves the capital, he will go to the fief nine times out of ten." Ye Xu agreed.

But this Nie Zongming sighed and shook his head, and the old man's voice sounded slowly: "Impossible, now that such a big thing comes out of the capital, if the prince is in the fiefdom, someone will inform him, he can't sit idly by, he will always come to contact us, but now let's see, where is the slightest news from the prince?" ”

"This ............" The other ministers immediately looked at each other in disappointment, and sighed, they are all supporters of Nangong Jue, if Nangong Ze disappears at this time and Nangong Jue appears, then there is no need to move a little to sit on the throne, this is the best opportunity, but the problem is that now Nangong Jue himself is gone.

In another luxurious courtyard in the capital, several of Nangong Ze's henchmen also gathered together, discussing the plan, and Zhang Youhan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said to Yang Fang: "I have sent people on the rivers and lakes to search for the emperor's whereabouts with all my might, and there should be news in a while." ”

Yang Fang nodded: "Zhang Shangshu used to be famous in the rivers and lakes, I hope that this time I can make good use of your strength and find the emperor as soon as possible, otherwise there will be thieves who take advantage of the chaos to usurp the throne, but it is not something you and I can afford." ”

"Of course, but now Nie Zongming's gang must also be looking for Nangong Jue, General Yang, the ghost house you said, did you find it that day?" Zhang Youhan asked suspiciously, Yang Fang once told him about the ghost house, but then there was no follow-up, according to the words that the palace maid inadvertently heard, the emperor should have gone to find someone at that time, who was that person? He inquired in the palace for a long time, and he didn't get any news, those who had taken care of Tang Li should actually know, but no one told Zhang Youhan, after all, if the emperor's imprisonment of his younger brother's wife spreads, it will definitely only add to the chaos, and even if Nangong Ze comes back, he will be drowned by the public opinion of the people, and he is silent, it is Nangong Ze's request to them at the beginning, if they are found talking nonsense, they will even be of the nine clans! !

Speaking of the ghost house, Yang Fang also wondered how he walked to a strange place later, it was far away from the woods that he had just arrived, he asked the other guards, and the guards replied that he ordered him to follow, and the strange woman......

"In short, the ghost house is definitely the focus of a breakthrough, the emperor went to find someone, and then disappeared, I can't say anything, I will continue to search for the location of the ghost house, Zhang Shangshu still stepped up to send people to inquire on the rivers and lakes." Yang Fang said.

Zhang Youhan nodded: "Okay." ”

After sending Yang Fang and several other ministers away, Zhang Youhan walked into the backyard, several carrier pigeons stopped on the stone table, he walked over and took down the creed tied to their feet, all of them were to help find the emperor, without exception, all replied without clues, could it be that a big living person disappeared like this? Life is to see people, death is to see corpses!! He crumpled the note and threw it on the floor, and hurried back to the study to write a reply.

Since Hua Yuying separated from Tang Li, she finally went around the capital alone, she led the horse on the street to find an inn to live in, and suddenly a row of officers and soldiers hurried through, and the surrounding people were discussing: "The emperor is gone, what should I do with Cangxingguo?" ”

"Yes, and that Princess Qinglan, who originally came to kiss, but what happened? Married to the prince, and I don't know if it was dead or alive because of the fire on the wedding night, now I estimate that Qinglan is already ready to move, you said that you lost someone's daughter and the emperor is gone, who wants to have such an ally? ”

"Why don't we get ready to take some trouble and escape?"

"That's what I'm going to do......"

Hua Yuying listened to the discussion of the crowd, the emperor she knew who it was, there was a man who claimed to be the emperor when Qingfeng Village intercepted those people and horses that day, if the person who claimed to be the emperor did not lie, that is, when the son killed the entire Qingfeng Village today, because in that ravine, there was a conflict with the royal people and horses that day, who else could the emperor be if he was not her father-killing enemy? ! I don't know who they are talking about the princess and the like, but the word fleeing is used quite accurately, look at the chaotic environment in the capital, full of officers and soldiers and abandoned shops, it is estimated that it is not far from the national disaster, this is not good, she took out the token in her arms, she still wants to find the enemy who killed her father, the enemy should be the emperor, if you destroy the country like this, wouldn't the enemy not be able to find it?

Just as Hua Yuying was about to put away the token, she looked up and saw that she was surrounded by a row of officers and soldiers............

"Take her back!" The leader of the officers and soldiers roared, he saw the token that Hua Yuying took out, it was only the royal family, this woman had these things on her body inexplicably, it must not be simple, maybe it had something to do with the emperor's disappearance, and it had to be brought back to the general to deal with.

Hua Yuying didn't know what was going on at all, and her little three-legged cat kung fu was useless at all, so she could only scold: "Why are you stinky men arresting me!" Hurry up and let Miss Ben go~!! Otherwise, I'll kill you all later, believe it or not?? "It's a pity that no one paid any attention to her.

Hua Yuying was erected all the way to a mansion, with a big "General's Mansion" written on it, and the first thing she did when she was put down was to kick the men who had just set her up, but she was held down and couldn't move, she was really angry, she knelt on the ground angrily, and didn't look at the man sitting in front of her.

Yang Fang received the news that he had caught a woman with a royal token, he looked at the woman kneeling on the ground and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname Hua Yuying, why are you arresting me?" Hua Yuying asked loudly.

"I arrested you, naturally there is a reason for me, do you have a token on you?" Yang Fang asked solemnly.

Hua Yuying twisted hard, and the man behind her who was pressing her arm let go, and she took out the token from her arms: "You said this?" ”

Yang Fang stood up suddenly when he saw the trump card, there is a difference between the emperor's token and the prince's token, and this token is the emperor's one! His eyes were cloudy, and he snatched the token, stared at Hua Yuying and asked, "Where did it come from?" ”

"Pick it up, I still have to rely on it......" Hua Yuying said and closed her mouth, isn't this general the emperor's person? If you knew that she was here to seek revenge on the emperor, wouldn't you end her now? So after hesitating for a moment, Hua Yuying continued sullenly: "I, I still have to rely on it to exchange for silver to eat......

"Bold!! Do you know whose token it is? Do you still want to take it? Yang Fang was a little choked by Hua Yuying's words, as a general, what he values most is loyalty, and naturally he is also very loyal to the emperor!

Hua Yuying rolled her eyes weakly, can she not know? Who else is there besides the emperor who killed her father, and she still wants to go to Beijing and ask someone to make sure, now looking at the attitude of the five big and three thick men in front of her, she can be sure without asking, but she can only pretend not to know: "I don't know, I said I picked it up, who doesn't pick up gold?" Shall I pick up a piece of gold and pick out the shape of that gold? ”

The brother behind Hua Yuying couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, only to see that their general's face was also very dark at this time, why was the token that clearly represented the majesty of the royal family a symbol of dignity was said by the woman on the ground, and it became ...... So cheesy???? Yang Fang continued to ask with a dark face: "You explain the ins and outs of this token clearly." ”

How can this be said? You can't die? Tell you, am I the one left by your emperor's remnants of the village, and I came to him desperately? Hua Yuying had no choice but to make up a story casually: "My family is the only one alive, I came out to escape, and when I passed a mountain and saw this token, I felt that it was very precious in pure gold, so I brought it with me in case of emergency." ”

"When?"

"It's been a few days, more than a month!" Hua Yuying specially pushed the time forward a little.

It's been more than a month, Yang Fang sat back in his position, the emperor was still in the early court a month ago, so it has nothing to do with this woman? He twisted his eyebrows and looked at Hua Yuying, who looked impatient: "Where did you pick it up?" ”

"Then how do I remember, I came out to beg for food, where I went, I won't stay for long, I passed by so many places, how can I remember? I said that after you asked, I still have something to do, and if you want to take this token back, give me the silver, exchange. Hua Yuying was not afraid of Yang Fang's gaze at all, and said confidently, anyway, this token is useless, and the identity of the enemy has been determined.
