Chapter 27: Emergence

At this time, Wang Zhan walked over with the evidence

Li Xiao looked at Xuanyuan Yunmo and saw that he had already stood up

Li Xiao could only helplessly say, "Wang Zhan, look at the evidence" and walked out of the room

"My lord, there's a woman beating a drum outside," said a servant who hurried to him

Li Xiao said in a deep voice, "Let her in."

"Yes!" The man turned and walked away

Li Xiao sighed lightly, and now he felt trembling all over his body when he heard the sound of drumming

"Can Your Highness sit in on the hearing?" Xuanyuan Yunmo's voice came from behind him

Li Xiao hurriedly said, "Naturally, you can"

Turning his gaze slightly, Xuanyuan Yunmo's gaze fell on the blood-stained silkworm quilt. I saw that the blood had dried up, and it was unusually conspicuous on the snow-white silkworm quilt

Reached out and took what was in his hand and unfolded. This is the one he gave Tao Tao to, his eyes were slightly dark

"Your Highness?" Seeing that he was silent, Li Xiao looked at him puzzled

I saw Xuanyuan Yunmo put the things in his hand back into Wang Zhan's hands. said lightly, "This matter will be troublesome."

Looking at his movements, Li Xiao vaguely understood something, and nodded slightly

When I walked into the lobby, I saw a woman kneeling in the center

Seeing Li Xiao, he seemed to be very excited

"Your Excellency!"

Li Xiao came to the top, Xuanyuan Yunmo sat on the side, and Chen Yuan was beside him

"What do you have to report to Lord Ben?" Li Xiao looked at the person below

I saw tears on her face, and choked up, "Adult, my child, he, he, he's gone!" ”

"What!" Li Xiao was startled and immediately stood up

Xuanyuan Yunmo's gaze fell on Li Xiao's body

Feeling his gaze, Li Xiao coughed lightly and sat down slowly

"When did you disappear?"

I saw the woman say, "It's just that before and after lunch, the grass people thought he was just naughty and went out to play." But after a long time, I didn't see him come back, and the grass people searched many places, but they didn't find my son. ”

Hearing this, Li Xiao sighed lightly, sure enough, it was like this again. A sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in my heart

"I will definitely try my best to find your son, let the officials on the side draw the portrait" Li Xiao walked down the steps and helped her up

The woman nodded, her face covered with tears

Looking at her back, Li Xiao's face was full of sadness

"Chen Yuan, keep up with her," Xuanyuan Yunmo said in a low voice

Chen Yuan was puzzled, but he didn't have time to ask more, so he hurriedly followed

Looking at his expression, Li Xiao looked at him in confusion, "Your Highness......

"It's just that I have some doubts in my heart, I still have to wait for Chen Yuan to come back," Xuanyuan Yunmo said lightly

Hearing this, Li Xiao pursed his lips

"Look, is this what your son looks like?" The official took the painted portrait to the woman in front of him

Bai Lengyu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded, "This is my son"

"Don't worry, my adults will definitely save your child!" I saw that the official looked at her seriously

"Thank you," Bai Lengyu said gratefully

Looking at her back, the official sighed lightly, "Alas, this is the fifth case in the past few days."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan secretly followed

I saw the woman walk out of the door, walk quickly all the way forward, and suddenly, disappear around the corner

Chen Yuan secretly said that it was not good, and quickly followed

"Who are you? Why follow me? At this time, Bai Lengyu held a dagger across Chen Yuan's neck

Chen Yuan didn't expect to be pinched by a woman, and his face was a little unhappy

"Come with me! Otherwise, your life will be here! Bai Lengyu said coldly

Chen Yuan nodded and raised his hands, indicating that he did not pose any threat

I saw Bai Lengyu holding him hostage all the way to a courtyard

Pushing open the door, the scene inside appeared in Chen Yuan's eyes, and he saw a few children inside, full of laughter

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her

"Children, go to the room, my sister has something to do" I saw Bai Lengyu smile at them

"Okay~" Unexpectedly, the children obeyed her and obediently returned to the room

Seeing that they all returned to the room, Bai Lengyu looked at the person in front of him seriously and said viciously

"Tell me, who are you!"

Chen Yuan's heart was now full of doubts as to why she had so many children here

"Say!" Seeing that he was stunned, Bai Lengyu's dagger advanced a few more points, and the air was suddenly filled with a smell of blood

Feeling the pain, Chen Yuan came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on her. Didn't speak

"Say!" Bai Lengyu said coldly

Chen Yuan said lightly, "It's just a servant."

Looking at the temperament around him, Bai Lengyu would not believe that what he said was true

"What's going on with these kids?" I saw Chen Yuan frowning and looking at her

Hearing this, Bai Lengyu chuckled, "You have to figure it out, it was you who fell into my hands, not "Without waiting for the words to fall, I only felt that my body was flipped over, and when I reacted, I was already turned over and grabbed by the person in front of me

"Let go of me!" Bai Lengyu moved his shoulders, only to feel a burst of pain

Seeing her dishonest appearance, Chen Yuan said coldly, "If you move again, I don't care if your arm is broken!" ”

Hearing this, Bai Lengyu didn't move anymore

"What's going on with these kids?" Chen Yuan picked up the dagger just now and laid it across her neck

Looking at his posture, Bai Lengyu only felt a little ridiculous just now, but he didn't expect that he would be taken back the initiative by others so soon, and his face was a little gloomy

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it, when the people from the government come, the matter will naturally come to light," Chen Yuan said lightly, and he was going to knock her out

Sensing his movements, Bai Lengyu hurriedly said, "Wait! ”

Chen Yuan stopped his hand and looked at her

I saw Bai Lengyu cough lightly and said, "This matter is actually like this......"

Through her self-description, Chen Yuan understood that the woman in front of her was a person walking in the rivers and lakes, but these children were found by her by chance in a cave

After all, I've heard about what's going on here, and besides, these kids don't know whose family they belong to.

The woman who changed her clothes as the lost child just now also wanted to test whether the prefectural magistrate of this place really took up her duties, after all, this is not a trivial matter

Look into her eyes, which are full of seriousness. Chen Yuan pursed his lips and let go of the dagger in his hand

"You just believe in me, huh?" Seeing him throw the dagger to himself, Bai Lengyu looked at him in surprise

Chen Yuan said lightly, "A person's eyes can't deceive people"

Bai Lengyu was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth were dyed with a smile. "By the way, your martial arts are so powerful, why didn't you resist at the beginning?" ”

I saw Chen Yuan chuckling, "I resisted just now, don't you see such a wonderful scene?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Lengyu scolded secretly

Looking at the children in the room, Chen Yuan looked at her, "What do you want to do with these children?" ”

"I don't know, you don't know, these little ancestors are tired of me" Thinking of these people, Bai Lengyu felt that these times were not spent by people

Obviously, I don't even have a favorite person, so I have to bring up a baby early, and there is more than one

"It's hard" Even if she didn't say it, Chen Yuan knew that it must be extremely hard for a person to come here with these children

Hearing this, Bai Lengyu was stunned for a moment, and then there was a warm current in his heart, and he waved his hand, indifferently and said, "But they also gave me a lot of joy"

"Do you remember where that cave is?" Chen Yuan looked at her

I saw Bai Lengyu pondering, and said slowly, "These children were rescued from the cave by me a few days ago. But I think it's a child from a village."

"The location of the cave is very remote and covered with a lot of trees. If I go again, I may remember" Bai Lengyu looked up at him.

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you can go back with me."

"And what about them?" Bai Lengyu looked at the person in front of him

Hearing a strange movement at the door, Bai Lengyu immediately became alert

"Don't worry, it's your own people" Chen Yuan stopped her

Bai Lengyu was stunned for a moment, looked down, and saw a long white powder on the ground, and suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, "I didn't expect to be pitted by you."

"It's just a means of investigation," Chen Yuan chuckled

I saw a man with a mask walk in, and not only that, but there was also a person beside him. That person Bai Lengyu knew, it was the county magistrate Li Xiao who he had just seen above the lobby

"Hey, that guy is wearing a mask, can't he be too ugly?" Looking at the man with the mask walking over step by step, Bai Lengyu said in Chen Yuan's ear

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Although what you said is wrong, what you say is to my appetite."

"Huh?" Bai Lengyu looked at him with a puzzled expression

I saw that Chen Yuan had already walked to Xuanyuan Yunmo's side, "How is it?" I've made a contribution."

"It's better that you looked cold just now," Xuanyuan Yunmo waved his hand away and said lightly

Chen Yuan pursed his lips, "I'm different from you."

"This ......" Looking at the children in the room, Li Xiao was stunned

Chen Yuan was also surprised when he saw it at first, patted him on the shoulder, and walked towards Xuanyuan Yunmo

"Yunmo, this is the one who rescued the child" Seeing him standing aside, Chen Yuan hurriedly told him everything that had just happened

Xuanyuan Yunmo nodded, but his gaze did not fall on her

Chen Yuan scratched his head

"Holy, is this your head? He's so cold," Bai Lengyu walked to Chen Yuan's side and said in a low voice

Chen Yuan coughed lightly, "But your name and your personality are really different."

"Cut, whoever says the name will have to be the same as the character" Bai Lengyu snorted lightly

Chen Yuan was interested in her. The big grinning temperament is just his appetite.。 Both of them are extroverts, but after a while, they chatted

The children in the room had already come to the courtyard, and Li Xiao counted them, and there were as many as five

looked at their appearances, but they were different from those children who disappeared in Kaiyuan

"My lord, there are more guards at some of the surrounding waterways and city gates?" Xuanyuan Yunmo's gaze fell on him

Li Xiao nodded, "Exactly, since the second child was lost, guards have been secretly added at the city gate and waterway, just to prevent those people from escaping."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yunmo nodded

"However, I still haven't found those lost children" Li Xiao's tone was full of loss, "What I didn't expect was that even the village already had them, so the scope would expand a lot"

"Where are you going to put these children?" Xuanyuan Yunmo looked at the smile on the child's face, and his lips moved slightly

Li Xiao was silent, and said after a while, "I can only leave these children here first, and then let people go to the countryside below to find out if anyone has really lost their children." This will get the child safely into their hands."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yunmo nodded and looked at the two "Chen Yuan" who were chatting happily on the side

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "It's here."

"What's wrong? Yun Mo saw that he didn't speak, Chen Yuan looked at him puzzled

Li Xiao coughed lightly and said, "General Chen, this matter may still trouble that girl." Now we can't find out where these children came from. But we'll send someone to take care of it together."

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Bai Lengyu who was standing on the side. nodded at Li Xiao and walked over with his feet raised

Looking at Chen Yuan who was walking towards him, Bai Lengyu looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Here's the thing," Chen Yuan said slowly

Hearing this, Bai Lengyu fell silent, looked at Chen Yuan and smiled, "Of course it's okay, anyway, I don't plan to leave now."

"Let's go?" Chen Yuan looked at her

I saw Bai Lengyu nodding, "Yes, I've always wanted to take a good look at this Jianghu."

"It's really a big ambition," Chen Yuan chuckled

"By the way, how did you find me?" Bai Lengyu thinks that his acting skills are not bad

Chen Yuan smiled confidently, "I don't know how Yunmo saw through you, but I am because of the portrait of your 'son'." At that time, you were talking to the official that he was ten years old. ”

"Huh?" Listening to his words, Bai Lengyu became even more confused

"You look like you're only twenty years old, but you have a ten-year-old son?" Chen Yuan looked at her teasingly

Hearing this, Bai Lengyu helplessly held his forehead, and said helplessly, "I ignored this one thing."

Looking at her appearance, Chen Yuan chuckled and said, "Tomorrow, you will take me to see the location of that cave."

"Hmm" Bai Lengyu nodded and agreed

Looking at the children in the courtyard, Li Xiao felt that the burden in his heart had been lightened, and these children were finally saved

Perceiving his feelings, Xuanyuan Yunmo looked at the sky. At some point, the sun had set, leaving only the last rays of red light

Thinking of Zuo Yanmo, Xuanyuan Yunmo's heart softened, and she didn't know what she was doing now, so she must be still cleaning up her shop

On the streets, people come and go in a hurry, as if they are rushing back to their homes full of warmth

The liveliness of Kaiyuan has only started now, and I saw that in the middle of South Street, except for one shop at the beginning, there were no lanterns, and every shop in the future has been hung, and suddenly the lights were bright

Seeing the people coming and going on the road, Zuo Yanmo stopped what he was doing and chuckled

"I didn't expect it to be so lively here."

Hearing her words, Shi Kaiyu smiled and said, "This is not the most lively time, when it comes to the Lantern Festival, basically everyone will come here"

"Lantern Festival?" Zuo Yanmo looked at him puzzled

Shi Kaiyu also heard Xuanyuan Yunmo say that Zuo Yanmo had lost his memory and couldn't remember anything now. Thinking of this, Shi Kaiyu explained, "The Lantern Festival is a tradition in Fengming Kingdom, once a year, and the time is around the Zhongyuan Festival"

"Midyear Festival?" Zuo Yanmo calculated carefully: "Isn't there still a long time left?" ”

"That's soon, there are still more than two months to go," Shi Kaiyu chuckled

Zuo Yanmo looked at him and chuckled, "I'm looking forward to it."

"When the time comes, the royal event will be even more grand," Shi Kaiyu put aside the things in his hand

Hearing this, Zuo Yanmo nodded. Looking at the lobby that was different from before, he nodded with satisfaction, looked at the empty place on the spiral staircase, and said, "Xiao Yu, are there any fake flowers and vines here?" ”

"Fake flowers?" Shi Kaiyu looked at her

Seeing her nodding, Shi Kaiyu shook her head and said, "I haven't seen what fake flowers look like."

"If the flowers are wrapped around this spiral staircase, it will definitely not wilt after wearing it for too long. When the time comes, watching it will also affect the mood," Zuo Yanmo couldn't help but feel a little worried

Shi Kaiyu looked at her suspiciously, "Why do you want to get those things?" Isn't that great? ”

"I think that since the guests are going to eat, we should give them visual and spiritual enjoyment, which is the characteristic of our restaurant!" Zuo Yanmo smiled

Looking at the light in her eyes, Shi Kaiyu was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared in her eyes

I only heard her say, "It's basically cleaned up now, but there are still some small places that haven't been decorated" Zuo Yanmo looked around and nodded with satisfaction

"In that case, then let's leave first, and come back early tomorrow morning to pack up the rest of the things" Shi Kaiyu looked at the empty lobby, and now only the two of them were left

Zuo Yanmo nodded, "That's fine," stretched a little tiredly

Shi Kaiyu hurriedly turned his gaze

Zuo Yanmo exhaled lightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile. He looked at him and said, "Let's go see this street too, shall we?" ”

"But isn't it a little late?" Shi Kaiyu looked at the sky outside, only to see that the sky was already dark, and only the moonlight emitted a faint light

"It's okay" Zuo Yanmo waved his hand, locked the door, and came to Shi Kaiyu's side. "Don't worry, just take a look outside, and I'll go back in a while."

Shi Kaiyu was helpless, so he could only nod

Zuo Yanmo suddenly looked at him with a smile

Shi Kaiyu followed her and walked forward. Faded into the crowd

"Wow!" Zuo Yanmo only felt that his eyes were not enough to see, and he saw that the stalls on the side of the road one by one didn't know what they were buying, and the crowd was crowded

In the moat on the side, there are flower boats floating in it, so beautiful

Looking at the place that sold sugar gourds in front of him, Zuo Yanmo suddenly remembered that he and Xuanyuan Yunmo were angry because of it, but it was his favorite food. Walked over quickly

Shi Kaiyu hurriedly followed, watching her hand a sugar gourd in her hand to herself

"Then" Seeing him standing still, Zuo Yanmo pushed the sugar gourd in his hand in front of him again

Shi Kaiyu came back to his senses and reached out to catch it. When you take a bite, the sour taste spreads in your mouth

I saw that Zuo Yanmo had already eaten the hawthorn at the top in one bite, and his cheeks were bulging like a hamster stealing food. A smile appeared in Shi Kaiyu's eyes
