Chapter 223: The Great Maelstrom

Su Zhe patted Su Yu's shoulder to show comfort, no wonder when Su Yu first entered the palace, compared to the protons of other vassal states, it was too different.

is about the same age, but most of them are crying or nervous, but no one has ever been as indifferent and calm as Su Yu. Sometimes, he also felt that Su Yu was a little strange, how could a dignified son of the world have those skills to survive in the wild.

Su Zhe wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to ask but afraid of touching Su Zhe's taboo.

Su Yu saw it, and he also knew what Su Zhe wanted to say when he wanted to say something.

Su Yu smiled indifferently and said, "You want to ask about my mother, right?"

Su Zhe was surprised and nodded, he really wanted to know.

I want to know what kind of growth environment Su Yu has lived in since he was a child, before he entered the palace.

Su Yu's eyes were a little impenetrable, but with a hint of sadness, he said: "If I have anything to ask for in this life except to grow old with Li'er? It is to know my mother's whereabouts, want to see her, and ask her why she gave birth to me in the first place and left." It's just that I don't even know if she's alive or dead now. ”

Su Yu's words already contained what Su Zhe asked, and Su Zhe knew that he couldn't ask anything. And I also felt that this was Su Yu's scar, so I was a little reluctant to go.

Su Zhe comforted: "Your mother, you will definitely find it." ”

Su Yu sighed and said, "Actually, I didn't let my people find out about my mother's whereabouts, I was afraid of hearing bad news." So I haven't let anyone go to her, maybe she's doing well now, but I found her and disturbed her life. ”

Su Yu looked at the scenery outside the window, his eyes were a little sad.

......

Su Li still went out of the palace because of Moguang's disappearance, and she still went to investigate some things in person.

Since Mo Guang disappeared because he went to the Xuanbao Pavilion, there may be some undiscovered clues left on the road between the palace and the Xuanbao Pavilion. Although such a possibility is too small.

Mingxuan Mingchen and the others also asked Shopkeeper Bai about the situation that day after Moguang disappeared, but Shopkeeper Bai didn't know about it at all. And Mo Guang disappeared when he finished delivering the news to the white shopkeeper, that is, on the way back to the palace.

The Imperial Forest Army in the palace didn't find anything unusual that day, so it could only be on the road between the Xuanbao Pavilion and the Imperial Palace. It seems that this person should have a certain understanding of himself, at least that person knows that Mo Guang is his person, or that he knows that Xuanbao Pavilion is her power.

Mo Guang is to pass the news with the white shopkeeper during the day, there are more people during the day, and the weather is good that day, the other party will definitely start in some more remote or less crowded places. Remote or sparsely populated places, only a few places.

After Mingchen's investigation, there are three remote alleys, and other places are full of hawkers, although the alleys are lively, they can be ruled out for the time being. Another remote place is the embankment.

I'm afraid that Moguang's disappearance is inseparable from the assassination that entered the city yesterday, but why did the other party arrest Moguang? Is it for himself?

The people who have had a holiday with themselves are currently Lin Qingyun and Su Yu's father, Dingbei Hou Su Huai. One because of jealousy, and the other because she affected Su Yu. Both of them are for Su Yu, and a thought suddenly flashed in Su Li's mind, shouldn't the two of them join forces?

It seems...... Unlikely......

Su Li secretly laughed at his own daze, what is the relationship between Dingbei Hou and Lin Qingyun in Northern Xinjiang? This idea is really ridiculous.

Su Li took Mingxuan and Mingchen to check out those places one by one, and by the way, he also asked the surrounding vendors if anything strange happened half a month ago.

But it's probably because it's been a long time, or maybe it's something that's going on these days.

They almost gave up asking, but in the end, they did ask a peddler what he remembered half a month ago.

The peddler said: "Half a month ago, it seems that someone robbed someone and ran into this alley, and chased a person with a scar on his face and also ran into this alley. But the strange thing is that this alley is a dead alley, and there is no way out of it. The two men went in and never came out again. Probably with fists and kicks. ”

Ming Xuan hurriedly took out the portrait of the ink light and said, "But this person?"

The peddler replied, "Yes, yes, this is the man." Because he was so iconic, and the events of the day were a little strange, I remembered it. ”

Su Li nodded and bought some pastries from the vendor as a token of gratitude.

A few of them went into the alley, wanting to see if they would find anything.

A few people walked all the way to the end, and it was really an alley that couldn't be walked out. Su Li looked around, because this alley was a dead alley, there were also some debris piled up. And these clutter are a little messy, it seems that Mo Guang and that man still had a fierce fight that day.

Judging from the traces at the scene, there were other people besides the person who robbed the ink light.

Su Li said to Mingxuan and Mingchen: "The situation at that time was probably like this, using robbery as a strategy, leading Moguang into this dead alley, and the other people ambushed here and captured Moguang alive. It seems that these people are really coming for me, and they probably want to get some news about me from Moguang. ”

Mingxuan and Mingchen looked at each other, and said with some concern: "Master, what should I do next?"

Su Li lowered his head and pondered, and said, "Now the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, and I am at a disadvantage. I could only wait and see what happened, waiting for news from Su Yu. ”

It's just that there is another thing that makes Su Li feel strange, how did the other party know that Mo Guang was her person? Mo Guang didn't appear much in front of everyone, how did the other party know?

Could it be because she knew that Xuanbao Pavilion was her power, and she discovered that there was a connection between Moguang and Xuanbao Pavilion, and she wanted to get something from Moguang.

There is also a possibility that the enemy of the Xuanbao Pavilion.

Su Li only felt that he was in a big whirlpool at this time, trapped in it, and couldn't get out.

Su Li said again: "Let's go, go to Xuanbao Pavilion." ”

The more I investigated this matter, the more confused I became, and I didn't know what kind of crisis I needed to face next.

The above three possibilities, as long as you look at what happens next, will probably become clearer.

"Yes. The two responded, followed behind Su Li, and walked out of the alley.

......

In the Xuanbao Pavilion, as soon as the white shopkeeper heard that someone had told Su Li that he was coming, he quickly put down the things in his hand and went to see Su Li.

Su Li sat on it, blew the tea in the cup, and asked the white shopkeeper: "White shopkeeper, has there been any major incident in the Xuanbao Pavilion recently, except for the fact that one of my secret guards was lost." ”

The white shopkeeper choked, after all, the secret guard disappeared because he came to Xuanbao Pavilion, so he said: "Pavilion master, Xuanbao Pavilion is very good during the time you are not in the capital, and all aspects are normal." It's just that you lost it, and I'm really sorry that I couldn't help much. ”

Su Li put the cup aside and said, "I don't blame you for this, it's my carelessness." Looks like someone has been eyeing me, probably trying to get my handle from the Dark Guard. Of course, it may also be the enemy of the Xuanbao Pavilion. I stumbled upon my secret guard and had a relationship with the Xuanbao Pavilion, so I took him away. ”

The white shopkeeper said: "It seems that the pavilion master has any clues?"

Su Li shook his head and said, "The clue didn't find anything, but I just knew how my secret guard was captured." The other party must have known his route, so he would have laid an ambush in advance, first robbed him to his destination, and finally directly arrested him with the advantage of having more people. ”

The white shopkeeper listened and agreed that this was a premeditated robbery. It's just two possibilities that Su Li hypothesized, but the white shopkeeper doesn't know which one is more likely.

"Speaking of the enemies of this Xuanbao Pavilion, I'm afraid that few people dare to offend the Xuanbao Pavilion, let alone the person who directly robbed the Xuanbao Pavilion. But it's unlikely, but it's still possible. Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to find out about this matter. The white shopkeeper said.

Su Li nodded and agreed, but also reminded: "Remember to investigate secretly, don't startle the snake." ”

The white shopkeeper nodded in agreement.

Su Li still felt that someone had taken Mo Guang because of him, and they were coming for him. In front of everyone, it seems that the ink light has only appeared once, that is, in the paddock assassination. And everyone present at the time should know that this is her person, Lin Qingyun and Dongfang Lin are both present.

Could it be one of the two of them?

Su Li asked again, "What actions can be made in the General's Mansion?"

The white shopkeeper replied: "There is no movement, it is peaceful, but Miss Lin sometimes goes out." But there's nothing special, either to eat at Tianxiangju, or to buy jewelry and clothes. ”

Su Li thought for a moment and asked again: "Is there really no action, like sending people or sending dead soldiers out? Especially around the time when the geese returned to the mountain to hunt." ”

The white shopkeeper thought about it carefully and shook his head.

Su Li felt very strange, since the group of dead soldiers belonged to the General's Mansion, then there should be a move.

"Then has she ever been to Xuanbao Pavilion?" If she had been here, Su Li would have felt that the disappearance of Moguang had something to do with Lin Qingyun.

The white shopkeeper nodded and said, "I've been here, but it's only been two or three times, all of them have come to pick up jewelry, and once I went to the auction house." ”

"Can you participate in the bidding?"

The white shopkeeper shook his head and said, "No, I just sat on the side and watched." ”

Su Li felt that this matter was a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange. Thinking about what he might find in the future, he said: "You continue to pay attention to the General's Mansion, especially Lin Qingyun, you must pay attention." I remember everything this person has done. ”

"Yes. ”

After Su Li explained some more things, he left the Xuanbao Pavilion.
