"Then what's more, even if the prime minister confesses, the villain is not afraid of anything now, and he will try to finish it as soon as possible if he risks his life."

The village chief took it for granted.

"If you can do it with hard work alone, you don't need it anymore. When the time comes, we have to wait, and no one is an exception. Ling Xiang said coldly.

"But—"

There was a knock on the door three times,

"Come in."

Seeing that someone was coming, the village chief could only keep his mouth shut, not daring to say more.

After pushing it away, I saw Xuanyi approaching, still indifferent to the point of being intimidating. Among these people I have seen recently, apart from Ling Xiang, the one that scares the village chief the most is Xuanyi.

"Is it Zhao Yan who has arrived?"

"There's still time for a stick of incense."

Xuanyi replied.

"Well, the timing is just right." After Ling Xiang dropped the last stroke, he folded the letter and put it in a special bamboo tube and handed it to Xuanyi, instructing:

"This letter is for the palace, so be sure to hurry up. Also, take him down, don't let Zhao Yan know before the matter is a foregone conclusion. ”

"Yes."

"And."

Ling Xiang turned around with his hands behind his back,

"To live to see a man, to die to see a corpse. You've been looking for a few days, but there's still no progress. ”

"The subordinates are incompetent, and there are no clues under the cliff that led people to find them, maybe they were washed away by the water and the corpses sank into the sea."

"Perhaps?"

Ling Xiang raised his voice,

"Don't be like this, maybe there is no one under the cliff, go to the nearby villages and towns, and if there is none, go farther away. Whether they are lucky enough to survive or not, they have to keep looking for it until it is done, and here in this phase, it doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive now, as long as they are dead in the future, it will be enough. ”

The village chief heard this,

Shocked,

He's still here,

Why did these two talk about this immortal thing so openly, how should he be good now, should he not be able to hear?

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Xuanyi respectfully bowed his hand,

After straightening up, he walked towards the village chief.

The village chief was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more, he didn't need to open his mouth without Xuanyi, he nodded obediently,

"The villain doesn't know anything, he doesn't know anything."

While muttering like this, he timidly walked out.

"What makes the difference between knowing and not knowing."

Ling Xiang sat back on the main seat, closed his eyes and recuperated, and recited.

At this time, the maid brought a freshly brewed cloud tea.

"Your Excellency, please use it."

"Hmm."

Open your eyes,

Ling Xiang straightened his clothes, picked up the tea cup and skimmed off the foam, sniffed it first, and then tasted it carefully, although it was not a superb tea, it was also a rare refreshing tea.

It's the same as what Xuanyi said,

After a stick of incense,

Zhao Yan went to the mansion.

As soon as he returned from Yufu Village with Ah Niu full of disappointment, he didn't know how to tell Chengying the bad news, so he was told that Ling Xiang had something to summon.

Send Niu back to the inn,

Those who did not stop for a moment rushed over,

At this time, Ling Xiang must not be good at looking for him, and it is for the emperor's business. Qi Yan reads

"See the Prime Minister."

Zhao Yan saluted,

"Lord Zhao is here, please sit down and serve tea." Ling Xiang smiled and raised his hand to excuse the courtesy, "This tea is not bad to drink, Lord Zhao has been with the emperor for many years, and he must have a lot of knowledge, why don't you taste it together?" ”

"No need."

Zhao Yan refused very directly,

Originally, he had only been ordered by Yuan Ruiming, and he was only polite to Ling Xiang, but in fact, there was no need to obey him.

"Lord Zhao is still so straightforward."

Putting down the teacup, Ling Xiang smiled.

"But that's okay, Benxiang is not a person who likes to go around the bend, not to mention that this time is about the emperor, and there is no room for delay."

As soon as I heard Ling Xiang mention the word 'emperor',

Zhao Yan knew that he had guessed it,

Ling Xiang was already about to start the next step.

"I haven't heard from the emperor for a few days, and Lord Zhao only said that the emperor took the concubine and the governor to go further south in disguise in order to be more sensitive to the people's feelings. But after three or five days, it's time to come back. ”

"The promise is to stay longer, the emperor's decision does not need to be reported like the prime minister."

"Yes, the emperor's decision is naturally not something that can be influenced by his own appearance. But Lord Zhao should not forget, as Fang Cai said, Lord Zhao, as a personal guard, has been responsible for protecting the emperor's stability since he entered the palace, and has never left, but when it comes to the danger and unpredictability outside the palace, he does not follow, this is unreasonable. ”

"With the noble concubine and the governor here, why worry about humiliation."

"Yes, Bai Yi's sons and daughters are indeed wise and brave. But in this way, the king of a country was handed over to the two of them, Lord Zhao was relieved, he didn't want to worry, but the Queen Mother must know, and he wouldn't be at ease. ”

There was a meaningful smile in his eyes.

Zhao Yan's eyes sank, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

It turned out that Ling Xiang was fighting this idea, and he had to use the pressure later.

"The Queen Mother is very old, and if something happens, I'm afraid it's not something that the Prime Minister can bear."

"That's true."

Ling Xiang stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and slowly paced to Zhao Yan's side,

Stopped.

"It was because he was worried about the safety of the Queen Mother that he did not report the matter back to the palace. But the king of a country can't not show up for a long time, Lord Zhao is the emperor's confidant, so it's better to let the emperor come back as soon as possible, the return period is approaching, if there is no news at that time, I'm afraid that I can't hide it if I want to. ”

Zhao Yan raised his chin,

His eyes did not waver for a moment.

This is the maid walking in with cloud tea,

"No need, presumably Lord Zhao's current state of mind is not able to taste tea with peace of mind." glanced at Zhao Yan with his side eyes, smiled deeper, stroked his beard, and brushed his sleeves out.

After hearing that Ling Xiang had walked away,

Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief,

The mood is heavier than before.

The ultimatum has been issued, if the emperor and others cannot be found on the way back, Ling Xiang will inevitably report to the queen mother. Although Zhao Yan didn't know what his idea was,

But as you can imagine,

Everything is arranged, a trap is set.

The last hope of Yufu Village has also been disappointed, what should we do next, and where should we go from here? Walking on the road, Zhao Yan only felt dizzy and worried for a while.

"What, someone came to me and we?"

After listening to Lan Jun's words, Bai Jingyin stood up suddenly, his face was solemn, and he exchanged a look with Yuan Ruiming, and both of them became nervous.

"This has happened before, why don't you tell me, lady, nothing happened."

Zheng Dashan is still nervous about the two of them,

With a worried face, he pulled Lan Jun to look left and right,

It doesn't matter how serious the atmosphere is now.

"I'm fine, I know that Xianggong is worried about me, but now I'm talking about serious things."

"I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry."

Zheng Dashan nodded embarrassedly.
