Tang Mengqian's eyes showed a fierce light, and he stared at Xie Fenghua with compassion.

"Tang Shizi, aren't you going to put out the fire?" Yuan Minzhou stood in front of Xie Fenghua, his expression was cold and majestic, implying a warning.

Because of his identity, Tang Mengqian didn't want to make the relationship too stiff, so he turned his face away hatefully, and hummed: "Lord Lao is worried." There's a lot of fire here, so you two might as well stand by. If something happens, this son can't afford to take this responsibility. ”

Yuan Minzhou glanced at the sky-high firelight, and said lightly: "Since Tang Shizi has said so, then we won't trouble you." If there's anything you need, just say it. ”

After speaking, he pulled Xie Fenghua and stood quietly beside him.

Tang Mengqian saw that they were so knowledgeable, and he couldn't say anything more.

This fire came suddenly, and it coincided with the arrival of the Marquis of Dingyuan and his wife, if they said that it had nothing to do with them, they would not believe it.

Although, they may not know where Empress Du is being held. But just in case, it is better to put them under the nose to save any trouble.

But in fact, when the two really settled down, his suspicions were committed again.

- Could it be that they have other plans?

Thinking of this possibility, his heartbeat suddenly increased a little, and he hurriedly summoned the entourage beside him, whispered a few words, and then saw the entourage striding away.

Along with this, the corner of his eye still glanced at the pair of figures standing side by side from time to time, and even the firefighting became absent-minded.

Xie Fenghua looked at it from a distance and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, this Tang Mengqian is not a simple person!" ”

Yuan Minzhou glanced at her, "How can it be a simple person to be able to sit in this position?" However, even if he knew that there was something strange in it, he didn't dare to let the two of us go at will. ”

Xie Fenghua thought so.

If it weren't for Tang Mengqian's sudden action and kidnapping Du Pingfei, they wouldn't have had to come to the door in person.

He also sent people to search the city, but he couldn't find any clues. It's as if such a big person has just disappeared out of thin air.

Later, after many investigations, they finally found Du Pingfei's location. As soon as the two discussed, they decided to come over in the middle of the night and catch him off guard.

This fire was originally set up for the sake of making a sound. If Tang Mengqian can relax his vigilance, it will naturally be the best. If they can't, they will also take this opportunity to hold him back and give Changying and the others a chance to rescue.

They are all smart people, and although they are wary of such a strange atmosphere, they also have a tacit understanding not to break this balance.

As time passed, the fire in the study was gradually brought under control, and Tang Mengqian walked over to the two of them and said apologetically: "I neglected the two." Thank you for your understanding. ”

Xie Fenghua estimated that the time was almost up, and when he came over, he pulled Yuan Minzhou's sleeve and signaled that he could leave here.

Yuan Minzhou gave her a look, and then said, "I think Tang Shizi also has a lot of things to deal with, so I won't bother." That's it! ”

Tang Mengqian was silent.

If he lets them go, he won't be able to find anyone to blame once something happens in the prison. But if he didn't let go, not only would he be inconvenient to move, but he couldn't find a reason not to let them go.

——The end is a contradiction between good and good.

But Xie Fenghua didn't wait for him to answer, simply said a few goodbyes, and then pulled Yuan Minzhou and strode away.

Tang Mengqian stared at the two figures that were gradually moving away, and his face suddenly lengthened.

At this time, an entourage suddenly strode over, his heart suddenly tightened, and he suddenly said urgently: "How is it?" Are people still there? ”

"Shizi ......" The entourage was so fragmented that he couldn't say a word.

Tang Mengqian couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, kicked him away, and ran towards the dark prison. Pushing open the door, he saw that there was no one inside, and he was so angry that he kicked over the table and chair on the spot.

"Someone! Do everything you can to find people! ”

After Xie Fenghua and the others left the Beiheng Palace, they wanted to rush to the agreed place, but they received a signal from Changying halfway through, and they could only rush to the original inn.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Changying kneeling on one knee, and said with great annoyance: "Master, my subordinates failed to bring the queen back, please punish you!" ”

Yuan Minzhou and Xie Fenghua glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"Get up first," Yuan Minzhou said, closing the door and sitting down, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Changying suddenly said: "According to your instructions, after the fire in the study is burned, I will take someone to the palace to save the queen." But out of nowhere, a team of people, all of them with strong martial arts, shot ruthlessly, grabbed ahead of their subordinates, and took the queen away. ”

Xie Fenghua's face seemed to be in a storm, and he couldn't wait to find those people out.

They have been busy for so long, and they are all making wedding clothes for others!

How can you not make her angry?

She clenched her fists and asked, "Do you know who it is?" ”

Changying immediately shook his head, thought about it, and said, "The other party is all masked, and his subordinates can't get a glimpse of their faces." Judging from the moves and weapons, it doesn't look like a person from this dynasty. ”

"Doesn't look like someone from this dynasty?" Xie Fenghua was puzzled, and turned to look at Yuan Minzhou, "Master Hou, what do you have a clue?" ”

Yuan Minzhou thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I have a little clue." Not sure. Left and right are not the most important. Let's think about it first, how to get Queen Du back. ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Xie Fenghua suddenly paced around with his hands behind his back, and became unusually restless.

Du Pingfei has a strong temperament, and he is unwilling to be soft on people, who knows what will happen?

If the other party wants to embarrass her, then she will suffer a big loss nine times out of ten.

Now, the most important thing is to find her as quickly as possible. If it's too late and causes a catastrophe, they will be to blame.

Thinking of this, she analyzed those who were killed halfway, "If what Changying said is true, the origin of these people becomes very important. The other party obviously knew Du Pingfei's identity, but he still kidnapped her, but he was afraid that he would have other thoughts. ”

Yuan Minzhou also nodded, "This is Yunzhou, and it's not too far from the Northern Netherworld." If the other party is from the Northern Netherworld, he must leave as soon as possible after taking Queen Du away. Well, the most likely way to go is the West City Gate. ”

Yunzhou has four city gates, each leading in a different direction. Among them, walk out from the West City Gate and gallop along the official road to reach the border between the Liang Dynasty and the Northern Underworld.

That's the most likely route.

Changying hurriedly said: "That subordinate went down to count the number of people, and hurriedly went to the west city gate to block people." ”

Having lost twice in a row, he was already a little out of breath.

But Yuan Minzhou called out to him at the right time, and said meaningfully: "Chasing, it must be chased." But don't rush at this time. Those people will not rush out of the city gates, and they will definitely need to be well prepared. Take advantage of this time, let's go to the city guard's mansion. ”

"What are you doing in the castle guard?" Xie Fenghua was surprised.

Yuan Minzhou said meaningfully: "Borrow someone!" ”

In Xie Fenghua's incomprehension, the group rode to the city guard's mansion.

At that time, Captain Ma Chaowei was about to rest, and when he heard that they had come to the door in the middle of the night, he was so frightened that he fell to the bed. After a lot of scrambling, he dressed neatly under the service of his concubine and went out to meet the two men with trepidation.

"Xiaguan see Hou Ye."

Yuan Minzhou hurriedly helped him down, and said lukewarmly: "Ma Chengshou doesn't need to be polite. Disturbing in the middle of the night, it is really an important matter, and I also asked Ma Cheng to help Benhou. ”

Ma Chaowei was suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said, "Master Hou is serious. The subordinate is always at your disposal. ”

Seeing this, Yuan Minzhou was no longer polite to him, and said in a deep voice: "Ma Chengshou, the officers and soldiers under your command need to borrow this marquis." ”

"Ah...... What does Hou Ye want to do? Captain Ma Chao struggled a little, and had to ask hard, "Master Hou, this big night, it's not easy to mobilize these officers and soldiers......

He cautiously observed Yuan Minzhou's face, and asked tentatively, "Why don't you wait until daylight tomorrow?" ”

"Castle Keeper-sama!" Xie Fenghua was anxious, and he didn't want to play Tai Chi with this person, so he said bluntly, "If you can wait until daytime, why does Master Hou have to take this trip?" It was precisely because of the urgency of the matter that I had to come to the door to disturb me. You must help me......"

Ma Chaowei is not stupid, he has long sensed that something is wrong from the abnormal words and deeds of the two.

He didn't want to get involved, and was thinking about how to get rid of it, but he heard Xie Fenghua say: "Lord City Guard, you have to think clearly, this matter is related to the foundation of the imperial court. Don't listen to the instigation of some people to do such unfaithful and unrighteous acts! ”

Captain Ma almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He just wanted to sit on the sidelines, how could he be labeled "disloyal and unjust"?

This young lady Yuan is really vicious!

He gritted his teeth with hatred, and he had already shouted at his father and scolded his mother in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously on his face, and only said: "What is this words of Mrs. Yuan?" This official is just cautious, how did it come to your mouth and become disloyal and unjust? ”

Xie Fenghua was about to answer, but was stopped by Yuan Minzhou's outstretched hand.

Ma Chaowei's heart tightened, "Master Hou, you ......"

"Ma Chengshou, Ben Hou won't talk nonsense with you anymore." Yuan Minzhou seemed to have lost his patience, his face suddenly tensed, and his voice was cold, "Today's soldier, you have to borrow it, and if you don't borrow it, you have to borrow it." Otherwise, if something happens to the queen mother, you just wait to lose your head. ”

"Plop—"

Ma Chaowei's legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground, and said in disbelief: "Master Hou, what did you say?" The Queen? ”

He raised his head, but saw that Yuan Minzhou was looking at him, and his backlit face had a solemn and cold aura for no reason, not like a joke at all.

His heart trembled, and suddenly he felt that his brain was not enough.

Yuan Minzhou was silent for a moment, and then said: "When Tang Mengqian asked you to go to the inn to arrest people, didn't you say that the person he wanted to arrest was the current queen?" ”

Ma Chaowei's body shook, and his mind suddenly went blank.

He still remembers the scene when Tang Mengqian suddenly came to ask him for help. originally thought that it was just a gesture, but who would have thought that it would involve the queen of the dynasty.

How good is that?

He knew that this matter was important, and soon asked Yuan Minzhou, "Master Hou, what do you mean by that?" Why is the Queen Mother here? And why is it dangerous? ”

"That's not the point!" Xie Fenghua was already worried about Du Pingfei's safety, and when he heard that he was going to ask endlessly, he immediately interrupted him in a cold voice, "Since Master Hou said so, it won't be a joke with you." The first thing is to quickly lend us troops and prevent people with ulterior motives from taking the queen out of Yunzhou City. As for those questions, you can wait for the queen mother to be out of danger, and then ask her in person! ”

Captain Ma Chao hurriedly responded.

"So, this soldier, do you want to borrow it or not?" Xie Fenghua said coldly.

"Borrow, borrow!" Ma Chaowei hurriedly responded, and immediately asked people to order troops, and then handed them over to Yuan Minzhou.

Yuan Minzhou and the others were divided into four roads and guarded in front of the four city gates.

……

When Yuan Minzhou and others asked Ma Chaowei to borrow troops, Du Pingfei was tied up in a dim room, calling the sky to be unacceptable, and the earth to be ineffective.

She was originally staying in the secret prison of the palace, and finally waited for Changying's rescue. There is also a team of people who are so skilled that they snatched her away from Changying!

After that, I was blindfolded all the way to this place.

She panicked inexplicably, struggled to get up, and tried to bang on the door.

At that moment, the door was opened from the outside, and the man's long figure shone obliquely on the ground, enveloping her whole body in a shadow.

She looked up, and in the darkness, she couldn't see anything. But she could feel that a pair of eyes were staring at her, and it made her heart tremble.

In the midst of an eerie silence, someone said, "Give her medicine!" ”

Du Pingfei's eyes widened suddenly, and when he saw the man approaching with the medicine bowl in his hand, he couldn't help but shrink back, and exclaimed, "You are presumptuous! Do you know ......"

"Empress Du, right? If you are interested, drink this bowl of medicine obediently. Otherwise, don't blame us for doing it ourselves! ”

"No...... Let go of the palace......" Du Pingfei only had time to shout, and he was drugged. Immediately afterward, he fell into a coma.

An old woman walked in, carrying a lantern in her hand and a package between her arms. She took out the contents and saw that they were rouge gouache.

"Hurry up." A man with a hat walked in, his gaze slowly crossed Du Pingfei's face, and he instructed, "Remember, you must change your appearance." ”

The old woman hurriedly wrote it down.

When the hat man walked to the door, someone came up to report, "Master, I just got the news that the four city gates in Yunzhou have been guarded. If you want to get out of the city, I'm afraid it's not very easy. Do I need to wait until dawn? ”

"Guarded?" The hat-bearer whispered, as if to say to himself, "Those two are very fast. Since they have guarded it, let them guard it first. Tell him to go down, change his plan, and go out of the city at dawn tomorrow. ”

And he did not believe that these men could keep his chariots and horses.

The subordinate hurriedly responded, and was puzzled: "Master, why do we want to bring the queen of the Liang Dynasty back?" Wouldn't it be easier to die on the spot? ”

"Don't you think it's more fun to make the queen a captive than to kill it directly?" The hatsman smiled, turned his head to look at the unconscious Du Pingfei, and said softly, "I always have to have some fun......
