The room was silent for a while.

Ye Liyan dropped the cutter, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and pressed the wound on his left hand.

"Believe it, bring it."

Listening to the wind, he walked in and handed the letter in his hand to Ye Li's hand.

Ye Li Yan calmly took the letter, opened it and looked down carefully, no one noticed that Ye Li's blood-stained left hand hidden in his sleeve was trembling slightly.

After reading the letter, the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen.

Putting down the letter, he was silent for a while.

Shopkeeper Xu called out worriedly: "Childe? ”

Ye Liyan violently clutched the letter in his hand into a ball, as if he was about to strangle someone's neck out of thin air.

Everyone saw that Ye Li's face was cold, and then they looked at the letter that was clutched together by their son, and their hearts sank even more.

Even if they hadn't seen the letter, they would have guessed something.

When Nalan Mingyi came to make it difficult for them to marry at night, he gave the newlywed gift a very taboo topaz "pear", implying that he and Ai Qiaoqiao would be separated.

This time, Nalan Ming must have wanted to use this to blackmail their son-in-law again.

It was not easy for Ye Liyu to suppress the anger that was surging in his chest.

"Send more people out of the city, and you will definitely find Qiaoqiao back." The night is gone.

"I've already sent someone, don't worry, childe." The shopkeeper Xu is still very safe.

The rebels are not to be feared, they are ordinary soldiers, none of them are kung fu, but they are savage.

But the people who captured Ai Qiaoqiao were obviously not real rebels, they just pretended to be rebels, their skills were excellent, even Ye Bing and the others could fight to a draw, and their martial arts were not weak.

Tingfeng cautiously asked: "Childe, the people sent by Nalan Gongzi are still waiting outside the door to listen to the letter, are you going to go?" ”

Ye Liyan threw away the ball of stationery in his hand and said coldly: "Don't go." ”

Tingfeng had already heard that Ai Qiaoqiao had been arrested, and he was also worried, but on this occasion he didn't dare to refute the night death, so he had to bow his head and hurriedly go out.

After Ye Liyan sat back on the table, he waved his hand and asked the shopkeeper Xu to retreat.

Now the only thing he could do was wait, for his people to find his ingenuity back.

Nalan Ming said very clearly in the letter, if he wanted his most important person to return to his side, he wanted him to go to Tianxianglou.

Coerce!

Nalan Ming was completely blackmailing him.

Take advantage of his weaknesses.

He didn't have any weaknesses before, because his temperament was like this, he was indifferent to fame and fortune, and even if he was burdened with stigma, he never rushed to complain to anyone, or tried his best to get rid of stigma.

He is like a pool of clear water, you can see the bottom at a glance, but it is difficult to make waves.

But now it's different......

He has the shadow of someone else in his heart.

I don't know how long he sat there, but he hurried in outside the door listening to the wind and rain.

"Childe! Son! ”

Ye Liyan raised his eyes and looked out of the door, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Why are you so alarmed? ”

The two little boys ran out of breath, "Childe is not good, the gate of Huai'an City is closed, and the people sent out by Shopkeeper Xu were stopped at the city gate by officers and soldiers, saying that the rebels are coming to the city, in order to prevent the rebels from entering Huai'an City, no one is allowed to leave the city without authorization, let alone open the city gate......"

The corners of Ye Li's lips were pursed, and his heart sank a little.

If he can't get out of the city, his people won't be able to get to Xiaofang Village in time.

If there is only Ye Bing alone...... I don't know if it's going to work.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that if those people were pretending to be rebels, Ye Bing would have absolutely no chance of winning from a head-to-head confrontation, and if he attacked by surprise, he would still be a little sure.

Ye Liyan pondered for a moment, and ordered: "You go and invite Ruogongzi." ”

If Huaixi is the most familiar with the government, he is the most well-informed at this time.

The two boys ran out.

Half an hour later, Ruo Huaixi arrived.

Xu was in a hurry all the way, and if Huaixi's breath was unsteady, he came in and said hurriedly: "I heard that Qiaoqiao was captured by the rebels?" ”

Night Away briefly explained the matter.

Ruo Huaixi was shocked, lowered his voice and said, "What do you mean...... Those who pretend to be rebels were instructed by Nalan Ming? ”

Ye Liyan nodded, "There can be no mistake. ”

Ruo Huaixi frowned.

Nalan Mingyi's identity is unusual, although Tianxianglou seems to be just a shop that sells antique calligraphy and paintings, but Nalan Mingyi's identity is more noble than the Fu Yin of Huai'an City.

Even if he has no official position or position, his family is of noble origin, and he does not need to participate in the imperial examination to bring his own value of three grades.

Even Jin Gongzi had no way to take Tianxianglou for a while, he sent a secret letter to the palace, and he has not replied to the letter so far.

If there is no holy decree, he will seal the Tianxiang Building without authorization, and it will be better to be able to find clues at that time, if he can't find it...... I'm afraid that even he won't be able to eat and walk around.

The Nalan family's power in the palace is not small.

Ruo Huaixi called his scholar to the government to inquire about the news.

Ye Liyu walked back and forth in the house, and he did not stop until the scholar returned.

The scholar said: "The government sent soldiers to seal the four gates of Huai'an City, and the two messengers from the palace also spoke, and no one is allowed to leave the city, otherwise they will correct the law on the spot." ”

Ye Li's eyebrows jumped a few times.

"It seems that Nalan Mingyi has planned a long time ago, trapping you in the city and not being able to get out, for the sake of Qiaoqiao's safety, you will definitely give in to him." Ruo Huaixi said, "You have to think about it, the stakes are very high, according to the judgment of Jin Gongzi, Nalan Ming intends to collude with the third prince." ”

The light in the night is dark, he has never planned to enter the world, but he will be involved in this kind of thing.

Ruo Huaixi sighed: "Who made you know how to save your life, the third prince has been missing for so long, it seems that he must be hiding in Nalan Mingyi, otherwise your junior brother Jiang Siyin would not have worked so hard to stammer Nalan Mingyi." ”

Can you go to Tianxianglou in exchange for Qiaoqiao peace?

Ye Liyan thought back to what Nalan Mingyi mentioned in the letter.

There was a sudden tearing pain in his left hand.

When he looked down, he was shocked to see that the dried blood on his hand stuck the handkerchief to the flesh, and the wound was torn apart when he pulled it, and it hurt to jump.

But this pain is far less than the pain in his heart at this moment.

He had to admit that, for the first time in his life, he felt trepidation.

Even the sense of despair he didn't have when he was picked off his wrist tendons.

Looking at the sky outside the door that was gradually darkening, Ye Li's heart felt as if he had been hollowed out.

How is his ingenuity now?

Is it still in the hands of those people, and did Ye Bing rescue her...... Was she bullied by those people......

Wouldn't she be frightened......

She is only fourteen years old, and she will not reach the age of Ji Lu until next year, and she is still a child...... How can you not be afraid of this kind of thing.

She must have been hoping that she would save her, but he was trapped in the city, and he couldn't even get out of the gates......

Ye Liyan gritted his teeth, and his face became worse and worse.
