When he returned to the palace, Xiao Rui was slightly drunk, and the embarrassment in his heart made him toast Xiao Yiheng a few more glasses, and even took himself with a greedy cup.

Gao Quan helped Xiao Rui get out of the carriage and said, "Your Highness, the Ruyang Royal Mansion sent someone to send a letter, which was sent by the county lord of Lanling. ”

"Oh? Is it? Xiao Rui didn't care, reached out and took the letter handed by Gao Quan, opened it and browsed it.

The content of the letter is very simple, Princess Ruyang misses her deceased mother and wants to go to the incense to worship the Buddha, but unfortunately she is too old to work hard, and the king of Ruyang has no heirs, so she can only be replaced by Xiao Qingqing to worship the Buddha on the incense ceremony.

Xiao Rui knew Xiao Qingqing's handwriting, so he accepted the letter and did not suspect it.

The next day, Xiao Rui wanted to sleep lazily, but he was woken up by Zhuge Yuanba, and he broke into Xiao Rui's bedroom directly and took him out of the bed.

Xiao Rui is trying to let Li Yuanfang teach him a lesson, with Li Yuanfang's martial arts, and he will never have to be scared again. However, when he noticed Zhuge Yuanba's angry look, he immediately realized that something bad had happened.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Rui hurriedly asked.

Zhuge Yuanba endured his anger and roared: "Liuying is missing!" ”

Xiao Rui's face suddenly filled with surprise, and he asked eagerly, "When did it happen?" Do you have a clue? ”

"She went to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion yesterday to find Zhang Ruoxi, and she didn't return to the house at night, and the housekeeper didn't care, but she received a letter early this morning, you see." Zhuge Yuanba took out a letter from his arms.

Xiao Rui hurriedly took it over and browsed, only to see that it was written: "Miss Zhuge is in our hands, how life and death are, it depends on whether you understand or not, hurry up and inform Zhuge Yuanba." ”

Very old-fashioned kidnapping for ransom, but very dangerous because it is unknown.

Xiao Rui put down the letter, calmed Zhuge Yuanba's angry emotions, and said: "Don't worry, since the other party left a letter and asked you to inform you, there must be something else to ask for, and in order to blackmail you and let you do it, they must first ensure the safety of Liuying, because they haven't gotten what they want yet." ”

Zhuge Yuanba took a deep breath and said: "My eldest brother is fighting outside, let me take care of Liuying, my Zhuge family's population is withering, only Liuying is left, if something happens, what face do I have to see my eldest brother?" ”

"When you came, did you notice a stalker?" Xiao Rui asked.

Zhuge Yuanba shook his head and said: "I'm very careful, the kidnappers want to see if we understand or not, so naturally they don't want me to notify the government or the patrol battalion, Dongchang and Jinyi Guard, so I am extremely careful when I come to you to avoid being discovered by the enemy." ”

Xiao Rui said: "Then you go back first, sit in the Champion Hou Mansion, the enemy may send a letter asking us to do something at any time." You let your henchmen stand guard at the back door, and I'll take them with you. ”

"Good!" Zhuge Yuanba immediately left in a hurry.

Xiao Rui didn't care about eating, got dressed, took Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and under the escort of Li Yuanfang, quietly came to the back door of the Champion Mansion, the servants of the Champion Mansion, and the four of them entered the mansion.

When he came to the main hall, Zhuge Yuanba was holding a letter in his hand, and when he saw the four people coming, he sighed and said, "The kidnapper asked a vegetable farmer to send a letter, you can take a look." ”

Xiao Rui took the letter and asked, "What can you ask from the vegetable farmer?" ”

"No, he said that a merchant gave him a tael of silver to deliver a letter, and I guess the merchant also took money to do things, even if he was found, it would be useless, and he would even startle the snake." Zhuge Yuanba sighed.

After Xiao Rui opened the letter, it wrote: "Zhuge Yuanba, our old friends have met again, but it's a pity that the champion Hou is no longer in the capital, it's a pity." ”

This is the content of the first half of the letter, and at the end of the letter, there is a line of beautiful handwriting: "Uncle, I'm fine, I'm just locked up and not hurt in any way, don't worry." ”

This is Zhuge Liuying's handwriting, it seems that the kidnappers did it on purpose, so that everyone knows that Zhuge Liuying is not harmed, so be obedient and obedient.

After Xiao Rui read it, he forwarded the letter to Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and after the two read it, Jia Xu said: "Although the content of the letter is not much, some problems can be seen, first of all, the kidnapper must be an enemy, but he used the word old friend, and mentioned Hou Ye, the words are full of regret and emotion, giving me the feeling that it is not like a personal grudge, but an opponent." ”

"That's right! If it is a personal grudge, in order to take revenge on the Zhuge family, he can hurt Miss Zhuge first, which will have a greater impact. In addition, you have found that Miss Zhuge is very smooth in handwriting, indicating that the kidnappers did not threaten her. Miss Zhuge has a strong personality, if she is really persecuted, the handwriting is definitely not like this. Guo Jia said: "Since it is not a personal grudge, as Mr. Wenhe said, it is an opponent." Thinking of the identities of Zhuge Commander and Hou Ye, then the opponent on the battlefield is the most likely! ”

"So Commander Zhuge , have you ever had the same opponent as the champion Hou and defeated him?" Jia Xu asked.

Zhuge Yuanba had stabilized his mood, and with two think tanks calculating, he immediately had a direction to think.

"My eldest brother has been stationed in the north all the year round to guard against the Great Qi Kingdom, and I serve as the commander of the Iron Dragoon to defend the capital, so there are few enemies who are the same!" Zhuge Yuanba thought about it and didn't have a clue.

"Thinking about it further, where did Commander Zhuge serve before?" Jia Xu asked.

Zhuge Yuan said domineeringly: "I was a partial general after Chang Shenghou to guard against the Great Zhao State, and at that time I fought all day long, and there were countless opponents who were defeated by me, and I didn't bother to record it in my heart." ”

"Oh, yes! When His Majesty went west to conquer the Great Zhao Kingdom, my eldest brother also personally led the troops to participate, and that war entered most of the territory of the Great Zhao Kingdom, if it were not for the Great Qi Kingdom to invade the country, His Majesty might have destroyed the Great Zhao Kingdom. In this battle, my eldest brother and I cooperated to beat countless generals of the Great Zhao State, now think about it, the enemy that my eldest brother and I defeated together is not the general of the Great Zhao State? Zhuge Yuanba grabbed a clue and asked.

"Great Zhao Kingdom!"

Several people looked at each other, and that was the first target they could suspect right now.

Xiao Rui thought for a while and said, "Let's assume that the kidnapper is someone from the Great Zhao Kingdom, but he doesn't come sooner or later, why do you come now?" The purpose of coming is to be ashamed? ”

"A shame in the way of kidnapping? This is not shame, this is self-inflicted humiliation. If it was really the general of the Great Zhao State, it was estimated that he would not bother to do such a thing. Jia Xu said.

Guo Jia said: "If it is really the enemy of the Great Zhao State, then they must have other plans, but unfortunately, we know too few clues now, and these are just speculations." ”

"Then wait! The other party must have something to ask for! Zhuge Yuanba said in a deep voice, his nervousness also eased, and he knew that he had to calm down now.

Sure enough, near noon, someone sent another letter.

I saw that the letter read:

"Zhuge Yuanba, aren't you nervous? If something happens to your niece, how do you deal with the champion? But don't worry, we are moral people, seeking profit rather than life. You are very obedient, you only notified His Royal Highness King Xian, and you have not yet told Emperor Xia, and you have not let the famous Dongchang participate, you are honest. Help me say hello to His Royal Highness King Xian. His unfinished lady is in my hands, should he do something about it? ”

After seeing this, the evil tyrants suddenly glanced outside the house and shouted, "Could it be that there are spies in the mansion? ”

The last time Lingxiao Pavilion happened, it was someone who bought the subordinates of Zhuge Hou's Mansion, and almost harmed Xiao Rui, since then, Zhuge Yuanba has screened the subordinates in the mansion well, and even asked His Majesty to borrow the powerful intelligence ability of Dongchang, to ensure that there are no spies in the mansion, who knows that now there are thousands of precautions, or there is no prevention of spies in the mansion!

"Wait! Don't worry. Xiao Rui stopped Zhuge Yuanba's anger and said: "When we entered the mansion, only the servants you arranged knew about it, and there were only a few people who served here, these are the old people of Zhuge Mansion, you can't even suspect them." What's more, maybe the subordinates in my mansion were bribed by the enemy, after all, when you entered the mansion in the morning, even if you deliberately kept careful, you were watched by many subordinates. ”

Zhuge Yuanba nodded, it belonged to the anxious phalanx.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and the two whispered a few words.

Xiao Rui was curious and asked, "Two gentlemen, have you made any discoveries?" ”

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Feng Xiao and I feel that the purpose of this letter is not to deal with Commander Zhuge . ”

"Why?" Xiao Rui was stunned, and Zhuge Yuanba was also surprised.

Jia Xu said: "Intuition! By the way, Commander Zhuge , did you send someone to find out when Miss Zhuge disappeared last night? ”

Zhuge Yuan said domineeringly: "I sent someone to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and they said that Liuying left at the end of Shen Shimo, presumably on the way back to the mansion, and then drove away directly." ”

"The carriage and the coachman are nowhere to be found?" Jia Xu asked.

I saw Zhuge Yuanba nodding and said, "It's nowhere to be seen." ”

"The kidnappers dare to continue to ride the carriage of the Champion Hou's Mansion in a grand manner, aren't they afraid that they will show their stuff if they run into someone familiar? If it were me, I would have to change to a carriage. Jia Xu said.

Guo Jia said: "Therefore, the kidnappers are either familiar with the roads in the capital and know where they will not meet acquaintances, or there are people in the capital to help guide them." ”

"Moreover, the kidnappers also have to verify whether Commander Zhuge has reported the case, which further verifies the second possibility, there must be people in the capital to help around these kidnappers, and the ability is definitely not small, otherwise, they can't verify whether Dongchang and Jinyiwei have taken action."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "So, this is not a simple revenge or revenge, but a set up game." I think that the next letter from the enemy will find a way to send away Commander Zhuge ! ”

Near the end of the day, a third letter came.

Everyone can't wait to open:

"Zhuge Yuanba, you are honest, so I won't talk to you, let's get down to business, next I need you and Xiao Rui to do two things, do a good job, we will let Zhuge Liuying, Jianghu people do things, pay attention to a righteous word, so you can rest assured of my sincerity." First things first, in the Palace Library, there is a key hidden in a collection of books that you need to get your hands on. The second thing is to go to the Lotus Temple outside the city, find a person named Monk Unknown, and get a box from him. Give you a day's time, tomorrow when Shen, if you don't succeed, I will chop off Zhuge Liuying's hands, I believe in my word, it depends on whether you believe it or not. Finally, I remind you that you are not allowed to disclose it to anyone, if Emperor Xia hears the news, then our transaction will be terminated, and let Zhuge Liu's firefly incense eliminate the jade loss. ”

At the end of the letter, the shape of a key and a strange iron box is drawn.

Xiao Rui didn't see the key, but he was a little familiar with the iron box, it was so much like the iron box left by his mother.
