Chapter 441: A lone wolf in the night
"What, are you afraid that Li Shidao will be pierced by me and kill me in anger?"
"No," Li Chengxuan replied in a deep voice, "I'm worried about Li Wangzhen. β
Li Chengxuan said a word.
On the sixth day of the fourth month, Li Wangzhen did not come to the "Drunken Flower Shade" to make an appointment, and the two did not see anyone until the time, so they had to return to Nie Yinniang's residence first.
In the evening, when the lantern was in charge, a team of people suddenly broke in, saying that it was ordered by Wei Bojie to invite two distinguished guests to come over the house.
Xilingyue and Li Chengxuan immediately understood that something must have happened to Li Wangzhen.
From the west of the city to the Jiedu Embassy in the east of the city, they walked on the road for more than half an hour, and the two were worried about Li Wangzhen, so they didn't say anything all the way. When they arrived at the Jiedu Embassy, they were immediately invited into the study, where the young Lord of Webber was waiting for themβ
Tian Ji'an, the word Kui, the twenty-seventh year, the grandson of Tian Chenghei, the envoy of Wei Bojiedu, the third son of Wang Tian Xu of Yanmen County, and the fourth generation of Wei Bo's separatist forces. The imperial court was not only helpless against their Tian family, but also added Tian Ji'an as the right servant of the school to inspect the school, and was forced to recognize his status as a festival envoy.
Tian Ji'an has a pair of sharp eyes, like a lone wolf in the night; The eyebrows are obliquely raised into the sideburns, thick black and long; angular contours, thin lips raised, like a smile but not a smile; The golden crown and hair are tied up, and the gorgeous clothes and brocade decorations can't hide his sharp edge.
He is a person who practices martial arts, and he is still a master, and the whole person is like a sword that has just been unsheathed, and his domineering leakage is not concealed, which is also very in line with his current identity - the young overlord.
To tell the truth, Tian Ji'an is much better looking than his sister Tian Wangyan, and that face can be regarded as handsome and arrogant on any man. Just coupled with his sharp gaze, Xi Lingyue couldn't help but shiver, as if there was a chill that was pierced through the heart by a sword.
And when she and Li Chengxuan were looking at Tian Ji'an, Tian Ji'an was also looking at them. The lone wolf-like eyes lingered on the two of them for a long time, especially for Li Chengxuan, his gaze can be described as scrutiny, and there is a bit of pickiness and playfulness in the scrutiny.
However, Xilingyue can understand, after all, Li Chengxuan almost became his sister-in-law.
"After Zhenhai's trip, Yin Niang spoke highly of King Fu and the county lord, saying that the prince was 'Wen Tao Wu Strategy, calm and leisurely', and the county lord was 'smart and dexterous, showing off his wisdom'. This official has always been interested in getting acquainted. β
Tian Ji'an was the first to speak, with a lofty posture, although he called Li Chengxuan "the prince", but he also called himself "this official" rather than "lower official...... It can be seen that he already knows that Li Chengxuan has been stripped of the title of prince, and the "prince" is just a polite remark.
Li Chengxuan didn't mind at all, and even smiled back: "Fairy Mengnie helped with righteousness, and the servants of Chengtian secretly took care of it, and I and the county lord are grateful." β
Tian Ji'an seemed to be very satisfied with his attitude, his eyes shot over again, and his attitude eased slightly: "If it weren't for Li Sikong's daughter suddenly having an accident, this official wouldn't have planned to disturb the two." I have made an agreement with Yinniang, but whoever lives in her mansion in the west of the city is her guest, and I will not disturb at will. β
"I don't know where Fairy Nie is now? Are you still safe? Li Chengxuan asked.
"She has returned from Ziqing, and she will be back soon."
It seems that Atsui is also safe! Xilingyue finally put her mind at ease, and then asked about the matter: "Tian Servant Shooting, you said that Li Niangzi had an accident?" What's wrong with her? β
"She's missing." Tian Ji'an told the truth.
"Missing ......" Xiling Yue thought she had been killed, but when she heard the news, she felt a little calm, and hurriedly asked, "When and where did you disappear?" β
"Around noon today, in the west of Tongyuanfang. According to the sister-in-law, she went to the appointment of the two today. Tian Ji'an was concise and to the point.
"We did make an appointment with her, but she didn't come." Xiling Yue paused for a moment and asked bluntly, "Tian Servant suspects that we did it?" β
"No, but it's about the two of you." Tian Ji'an didn't hide it, "Three days ago, my sister accompanied me to go out to play, and after returning home, I talked about meeting the county lord by chance. The official privately guessed that these two things were very related, so he invited the two to come and discuss. β
It seems that Tian Wuyan said everything. Xi Lingyue and Li Chengxuan did not answer.
I only heard Tian Ji'an say again: "Li Sikong and his father are friends in distress, they have jointly crusaded against the traitors, and they have also sealed the festival as envoys, and the two towns are close to each other, and the two families have always been friends. Speaking of which, the official wants to call Li Sikong 'Shibo', and now that his daughter has disappeared in Weibo, it is difficult for the official to explain to him. β
This is the truth, and it seems to confirm that Tian Ji'an and His Royal Highness Kang Xing have no contact. Xilingyue secretly recalled that most of what she said to Li Wangzhen that day was about the Xiao family's father and son, and a discerning person knew at a glance that her disappearance today was related to this matter. If Tian Ji'an took refuge in His Royal Highness Kang Xing, the other party would never make such a move to kidnap the person, just explain to Tian Ji'an, wouldn't it be easy to kill him, and there was no need to make such a big move, so he would be tricked.
Thinking of this, Xiling Yue glanced at Li Chengxuan and looked at each other, all of them had the same idea.
Obviously, Tian Ji'an couldn't put it down, but the meaning of his words couldn't be clearer. Li Chengxuan believed that if he hadn't searched all over Weizhou and found nothing, Tian Ji'an would never have begged for it, although his request was very vague.
So Li Chengxuan asked bluntly: "Can Tian Servant shoot to block the city gate?" β
"Yes, but the subordinates are too slow, and the officials will only know about it before the end, and they are afraid that the thieves have taken the truth out of the city." Tian Ji'an was worried.
"Not necessarily, the entire Wei Bo is under the jurisdiction of Tian Servants, and even if the bandits escape from Weizhou, they will not be able to escape from Wei Bo, but they will be at risk of being arrested." Li Chengxuan speculated like this, and looked at Xiling Yue again, "Xiling, what do you think?" β
Xilingyue nodded and agreed: "The other party didn't kill Li Niangzi on the spot, but kidnapped her, which shows that he didn't want to harm her life." Whether it is His Royal Highness Kang Xing or anyone else, he should know that she is weak and cannot stand the fright and bumps. Therefore, I thought the same as the prince, thinking that she had not gone far. β
"I haven't gone far, why can't I find it in this official search?" Tian Ji'an narrowed his eyes.
Xilingyue was not sure at this time, and only said: "We have to go to the place where the crime occurred first to take a look." β
At the beginning of the day, Xilingyue and Li Chengxuan arrived at Tongyuanfang, where the crime occurred. Tian Ji'an sent his confidant Jiang Shi to lead the way, a young man in his early twenties, who served Tian Ji'an since childhood.
Now whenever she hears the surname "Jiang", Xilingyue's heart jumps, and she hurriedly asks about her family background. When she learned that he had nothing to do with the Jiang family in Zhenhai, she relieved herself and let him lead the way.
The three of them came to the southwest corner of Tongyuanfang, which was the only way from the Jiedu Embassy to the market in the west of the city. Because of Li Wangzhen's disappearance, martial law has now been imposed in the workshop, and the door of the workshop is closed, but the scene has not been destroyed, and it still retains the appearance of the incident, but the corpses have been pulled away.
