Three hundred and eighty-one, missing
"The kid is amazing, I lost so many people to catch you!" A sharp sound as rough as a knife cutting through human skin sounded from behind him. Immediately afterwards, Lin Chaoge was picked up alive with a weak chick, and all the blood-stained robes and boots she was wearing were stripped naked and thrown down to prevent her from breaking it again or hiding other hidden weapons.
In an instant, Lin Chaoge's porcelain-white skin turned purple and blue as soon as he came into contact with the cold air, and it was so cold that people shivered.
Lin Chaoge heard that the speaker knew who it was, but he closed his eyes a little resignedly, and gently approached and hugged his waist; "I'm cold." I could clearly feel the body she was holding stiff and quickly relaxed.
What she got was a cold snort from the man, and a wide fox fur big that was wide enough to envelop her whole body dragged her into the warm carriage.
Let the stump and severed hand on the ground slowly be covered by the snow, and there is no trace of anyone to be found.
When night fell, the Regent's Mansion turned the entire Chang'an upside down at the moment, and no trace of that person could be found, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.
The gate of the city had already been sealed at the moment of knowing the news, and it was necessary to check and check it in multiple layers whether it was to enter or exit, but it was still impossible to find half a clue, and all that was found was the corpse of the dead covered by the snow in the south of the city and the traces of the fight.
Xiao Yuzi knows that no matter what she says and punishes people now, it will be useless, she can't change the fact that the person is missing and missing, the most important thing is to find out where she is at the moment, if she can't find her person back for one more minute, her situation will be more dangerous.
Tonight's imperial city is particularly lively, except for the flower street and willow lane in the city that never sleeps, it is the Imperial Forest Army looking for people from house to house with lanterns, or walking into the restaurant and tea shop.
If others ask, they will say that someone tied up Lin Langzhong, and the regent was ordered to find someone, and there are not so many thieves and villains in the city to catch them, so it is better to be frank and open, not to mention that Lin Shilang's color is gorgeous and the peony country is fragrant, plus the champion is on the street, no one knows.
Unlike the lights on weekdays, the lights in the imperial city were turned off early tonight.
Since the founding of Emperor Taizong, the title of Zhenguo Gong has always been given to those who have made outstanding military achievements in the court, and the current Zhenguo Gong's surname has been promoted to the name Ye, a veteran of the three dynasties, with a strong Hu bloodline, and the emperor gave him the old mansion of the original vassal king.
Zhenguo Mansion is no longer Chang'an, but in a suburb not far from Chang'an, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is the most pleasant, not to mention that there are several natural hot springs in this mountain that are the most nourishing.
At night, Chu Shen followed Bai Qingxing to find the peach blossom array, and there were no lights in the Zhenguo Mansion, only two red lanterns were hung in front of the door to illuminate the way for passers-by.
The gilded plaque, the bronze gilt ring, the tall stone lion with red silk at the door, and a jujube tree hanging near the red fruit next to the courtyard, are so dim and quiet that they do not look like a mansion of the prince, but a large family in the countryside.
The two dismounted in front of the Zhuma Pavilion outside the gate, Chu Shen knocked on the door repeatedly, no one answered outside the door, and after a while, the two outside the door waited faintly impatiently, and the little guy in the navy blue straight shirt pushed the door and made his debut; "It's getting late, the lord has turned away the guests, if the two adults have something to do, they can come back tomorrow."
forced Bai Qingxing to take out his own peiyu, but the little guy didn't dare to say much this time, and respectfully introduced people inside.
The furnishings of the main hall in the house seem to be so simple that they are not worthy of the rank of the first grade of the town and the country, the old tables and chairs are all made of good rosewood, and the armrests are carved into the shape of a dragon's head and spitting beads, which is likely to be a royal treasure, there are many traces of sword cutting left when the house is copied, and the four characters of "the brave are not afraid" inscribed by Emperor Taizong on the wall are strong and powerful, but unfortunately the bright yellow brocade silk is covered with a lot of dust.
This Zhenguo Duke didn't dare to throw away the imperial gift, but he didn't pay much attention to it, His Majesty might not be able to convince him, Chu Shen thought secretly.
Zhenguo Gong is more than half a hundred years old, his hair is white, his back is slightly packed, dry and staggering, but he does not hide his spirit, although there is no white Qingxing in the folk childhood, there is no difference in the clean and heroic weather.
He didn't show excitement and gratitude for the emperor's presence in person, and after hearing his intentions, he said even more coldly: "Your Majesty, please go back, the old minister is old and frail, and it won't be of any help to the national court, just let the old minister rest assured that Yiyang is old." ”
Bai Qingxing just smiled when he heard this, but he didn't know where he flew to be able to speak well on weekdays, and later he brought out Lian Po's old-fashioned allusion, and sure enough, Zhenguo Gong snorted: "The old minister will not dare to compare himself with the name of the ancients, it is getting late, please go back early." "It was an eviction order.
"Can be ......".
He deliberately didn't let Bai Qingxing say more, and interrupted with a sneer: "Your Majesty should have also heard of 'Gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation will be beheaded'." Hey, what's the use of the fifth? Lao Chen is not a gentleman, but he thought that his two sons had died on the battlefield, and the remaining one had become a cripple, even if I couldn't help but think about the grandchildren they left behind, I also had to think about myself, what if I flashed my waist one day. The implication is that I don't want to enter the court again, and I will take the risk of raiding my house again, not to mention that I am old and can't lift a knife.
Bai Qingxing saw that he couldn't move him, and seeing that it was getting late, and seeing that the face of Zhenguo was faintly tired, he had to say goodbye first, and then come back tomorrow to visit the thatched house.
Walking and Chu Shen out of the Zhenguo Mansion, I don't want to go outside There is a torrential rain, illuminating the surrounding snow white and bright as day, the sound of rain is mixed with bursts of roaring thunder, and the black night sky seems to have light snakes flying from time to time, bursting the heavens and the earth, illuminating the vast white snow between the heavens and the earth.
The two of them ran into the dilapidated Zhuma Pavilion to take shelter from the rain, and the vault kept leaking, and in a matter of moments their crowns and shoulders were wet. The palace has not sent a carriage or rain gear to the palace, probably thinking that the Zhenguo Gong will definitely send the emperor back to the palace safe and sound, and the carriage is parked not far from the Zhenguo Mansion, so it must not be able to rush over for a while.
This pavilion was built by Emperor Taizong to show the founding heroes, the first generation of Zhenguo Gong, it is rumored that he visited the Zhenguo Mansion to visit General Gao's illness when he also dismounted here, courtesy, and great honor.
"Chu Aiqing, do you know why I came to find the prince of Zhenguo today?" Bai Qingxing saw that the rain outside couldn't stop for about a while, and the silence around him was silent, so he wanted to find someone to talk to.
Chu Shen is also a smart person who knows everything well, otherwise he wouldn't have followed him before he ascended the throne.
"Your Majesty is going to let Zhenguo Gong go out of the mountain to train those newly recruited soldiers?"
"Indeed." However, when it comes to this, Bai Qingxing has a slight embarrassment: "But the first emperor used to ...... I almost misbelieved the slander, and almost beheaded the Zhenguo Prince's house, and now I don't know if he wants to go out of the mountain again. ”
"The minister believes that as long as His Majesty sends important ministers in the court as lobbyists several times, the prince of Zhenguo will always agree one day, and he will be moved by emotion and reason."
Bai Qingxing said with a smile: "Weighty? Then no one can compare to me, if I can't do it once, three times, four times, five times, I don't believe that An Guogong has no possibility of being willing to go out of the mountain. ”
They didn't wait long in the pavilion when one or two carriages came, and they got into the carriage and went back to the city, only to see that the city was on guard, even if it was raining outside, it could not stop such a momentum.
Before Bai Qingxing could ask, Chu Shen had already poked his head out and inquired clearly. It's just that his face is a little ugly, just like the majestic rain outside.
"But what happened." He frowned at his sword eyebrows, and there was frost in his eyes.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's actually a person lost in the Regent's Mansion." Since Chu Shen knew that the emperor's heart was growing with filthy thoughts, he felt more and more that his current words were really difficult to speak, as embarrassing as something blocking his throat.
"Who!" When it came to the Regent Palace, the first thing that came to Bai Qingxing's mind was Lin Chaoge, he couldn't control the trembling of his fingertips, and the corners of his mouth were slightly stiff.
"The missing person is Lin Langzhong, and they also found a lot of corpses in the south of the city, none of them are alive." Chu Shen had some difficulty to confide out word by word, he was now the closest person and the person who had the deepest contact with him, so he naturally knew what he was thinking in his heart, but he didn't break it, so he didn't see it at all.
"Can people be found now, and how long have they been missing?" Bai Qingxing's eyes were dark and terrifying, and every word seemed to be about to drain the strength of his whole body and jump out.
"The person's whereabouts are still unknown, and I heard that it has been nearly three hours since I left the inn."
Three hours is now six hours, if something happens, I'm afraid that it will already be more auspicious now, no matter which possibility they dare not bet, nor can they afford to gamble on this possibility.
On the other side, Lin Chaoge held on all the way to a strange place, even if his body and heart were sleepy, he would not fall asleep. Otherwise, no one would have predicted what would happen, not to mention that she was still in the hands of the enemy, and she might have to torture herself.
Lin Chaoge was thrown on the thick layer of animal skin without mercy, and the man was afraid that she would stain the blood and spill it all over the bed, and said a large number of local dialects that Lin Chaoge didn't understand at all to the people waiting outside, and she was about to bury herself in the soft and warm brocade quilt before she would stop.
Immediately after that, the man went out and never came back, but several girls with poisoned voices came in with clean clothes and clean hot water to wipe their bodies.
A group of speechless women didn't know what "Ula Ula" was in front of Lin Chaoge, but she understood the movements of the constant gestures in their hands, and they wanted to help themselves take a bath and take medicine.
Take a bath, take medicine, forget it, Lin Chaoge only thinks of a group of women surrounding him, saying that he wants to help take a bath, not to mention the problem of identity exposure, even he is embarrassed, okay, who likes to be watched by people when taking a bath, and besides, she is not a monkey.
