Compared with Chang'an, Luoyang is the confluence of rivers, in addition to the Luoshui that runs through the city, there are Yishui, Rushui, Heshui (Yellow River) and other big rivers. Although this makes it extremely convenient to transport by water, the embankments of these rivers tend to be tight during the rainy season, and as recently as May the Yishui and Rushui flooded thousands of homes, and the traces of the government's efforts to fortify the embankments during the disaster relief are still visible as you walk along the water's edge.

Du Shiyi was riding a horse along Yishui at the moment, but he felt that this road was not very easy to walk. When he ordered the eighty guards, he was going to set off with these people and the four servants such as Chibi, but Bai Jiang, who had done emergency treatment in the other room, woke up, and immediately asked to go with him when he heard the situation, and Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian agreed to the urgency of the matter. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Bai Jiang leaning on the arms of a female crown behind him to guide the way, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Don't go to the point of no return, never this moment, he hopes that the gods and Buddhas can hear his prayers

"Here it is"

Chibi suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, pulling back Du Shiyi's thoughts. He saw that there were still fresh rut prints on this not remote path, and the rest of the servants also recognized the ox hoof prints that were different from the horseshoe prints. Because now the nobles of the two capitals take ox carts in and out, and the merchants outside are mostly using horse-drawn carts, plus the hoof prints on the ground are very messy, Bai Jiang has been separated from Wang Rong before, Du Shiyi immediately instructed Chibi and others to search in front, and he and his party followed behind to search for the past.

Along the way through the woods, several dead bodies were found. Bai Jiang, who was just barely supporting, saw this scene and swayed even more. If it weren't for the female crown sent by Princess Jinxian, she was a servant girl who was brought out of the palace and was skilled in martial arts, and she could hardly hold her who was sliding down, but Chibi calmly and calmly checked the corpse, and then stepped forward to report: "Lang Jun, they are all killed with one sword, if it is not for the bandits who are used to this way, it is very likely that they have been trained for a long time, so they can be so ruthless." ”

The implication of Chibi's words, where could Du Shiyi not understand that just like Chibi and others, how could it not be the dead soldiers that the Cui family raised in order to cope with the frequently changing political situation?

Suddenly, the ox cart was found. Ox carts are spacious and comfortable, but they are extremely difficult to navigate on such forest paths, so it is wise to abandon them. But Du Shiyi couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, knowing that in this way, the next search might be difficult. Sure enough, but through the woods, which were littered with severed and broken branches and trampling on the grass, the path soon overlapped with an official road, making it difficult to find any signs of robbers.

At this moment, Bai Jiang finally couldn't stop his sorrow, and tears burst out of his eyes: "Lady......"

Not only Bai Jiang, but also the guards of Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian were also like water. In broad daylight, the disciple of the Golden Fairy Princess was robbed, this is simply a bold case, so immediately, a leading team came to Du Shiyi on a horse, arched his hand and said: "Du Langjun, this official road should lead to Peng Po, why don't you chase it down here immediately, and ask anyone along the road if anyone can see it?" ”

"Okay."

Du Shiyi knew that this was not the time to hesitate, so he called a servant and said, "You follow this team leader and take forty people to Peng Po." The others went back to Chang'an with me. The identity of these thieves is unknown, but they don't know if they will find a way to enter the city in the opposite way? ”

Although Du Shiyi's statement was a bit unbelievable, the injuries on the corpses that were too late to collect the burials just now made these guards can't help but guess in their hearts. Therefore, everyone had no objection to the division of the army, and for a time, one of the two groups of men and horses continued to the south to Peng Po, and the other went north to return to the eastern capital. Seeing that Luoyang City was close in front of him, Du Shiyi called people to come and went to various city gates in Luoyang to inquire about the people who had entered the city today. And he himself took Bai Jiang straight to Changxiamen.

There were a lot of people waiting to enter and leave the city to be interrogated in front of Changxia, and he was about to show the names of the two princesses, when he suddenly heard someone call: "Du Shiyi"

When he heard the voice, he saw a middle-aged man with big shoulders, a round waist, a high nose, a deep nose, and a vaguely familiar face striding over. He was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed in surprise: "But Team Kang? ”

Kang Tinglan didn't want to think that after a few years, Du Shiyi still remembered herself, and suddenly smiled heartily: "I can teach Du Shiyi to know that I am now the brigade commander of the left leading guard." Today, I happened to be on duty at Changxiamen, and I didn't expect to meet Du Shizhi again. ”

At the beginning, Du Shiyi sent Lu Hong to the Eastern Capital to meet the Son of Heaven, and at that time, it was the first time to Yujian Kang Tinglan; After that, he saw Gongsun Auntie dancing at the city gate to bid farewell to Luoyang's father, and then when he and Wang Wei and his party went out of the city, it was Kang Tinglan who informed the Taolin thieves that they were haunted. If it was Pingrìyujian, he would definitely have to catch up with people, but at this moment, after arching his hand, he said directly: "Kang Lushuai, the matter is urgent." Today, the disciple of Princess Jinxian Yuyao Niangzi was deceived out of the city, and was kidnapped on the way, and I happened to be in Jinglong Female Taoist Temple, so I was ordered to pursue him, but I lost my trace at the intersection of official roads. Now that the group has chased to Peng Po, I want to ask Kang Lushuai, can there be people with strange deeds entering the city in Changxiamen today? ”

Kang Tinglan was taken aback. He also lost the mind of saying goodbye to the old man when he reunited, and hurriedly groaned carefully. After a while, he asked again: "Is it only the Jade Yao lady who has been kidnapped, or is it ......?"

Du Shiyi immediately looked at Bai Jiang, only to see her biting her lip, and then whispered after a while: "The lady's entourage is dead, and the lady should be the only one." ”

"If there is only one woman, there was a group of three or five strong men who entered the city before, and there was a woman wearing a hat on her head, and she carried a man into the city to seek medical treatment. Speaking of this, Kang Tinglan hesitated for a moment, and then added, "I still remember that what was written above was Yique County, the third son of the Wei family, his wife, and three servants. And one of the pawns said that when the wind blew up the hat, the woman was very beautiful, and I was impressed by it...... If it's really a robbery, it's all my mistake for a while......"

Although this is not conclusive evidence, it is enough to ⊥ Du Shiyi to give birth to a glimmer of hope. When he entered Luoyang City an hour ago, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly and groaned. Just as he was thinking about whether to send someone to Yique County to find out the information about the office, Kang Tinglan suddenly remembered something again, and actually slapped him suddenly.

"By the way, there is a big man behind them, and what is written on the pass is Chu Shen, and the Tao is participating in a polo match in Luoyang. He seemed to be in a hurry, and his eyes were always fixed on the group in front of him."

Du Shiyi was stunned. He didn't have time to think about it, and after thanking Kang Tinglan, he led people into the city. However, standing in Luoyang City, where the Li Fang is distinct, the blank feeling of looking for a needle in a haystack floats up. In the end, he decided to go straight to Henan Mansion with the clues given by Kang Tinglan.

Sure enough, the anger of the two golden branches and jade leaves has burned everyone here like a thorn in the back, even if Du Shiyi was the one who squeezed out the former Henan Yin Wangyi, no one dared to give him a face. On the contrary, because he found out the information of the police and the people who held it, and it was even possible that he even brought witnesses, the judicial participation in the military of the Henan Mansion was like a treasure, and he almost didn't thank Du Shiyi for his kindness.

By the time Du Shiyi returned to the Daode Fang Jinglong Female Taoist Temple, it was already dusk. With a heavy heart, he dismounted in front of the door, and when he saw that Bai Jiang had already fainted in the arms of the female crown behind him, he couldn't help but feel more and more heavy in his heart. When he dismounted, he only heard a low voice in his ears, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

How did anyone recognize him wherever he went?

However, he only turned his head to look, and his expression of astonishment suddenly turned to ecstasy. He dropped the reins and rushed to the other party in three steps and two steps, trying his best to stabilize his voice and asking, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Jade Yao Lady?" ”

Chu Shen had come for this matter, and he didn't want Du Shiyi to seem to know about it in advance, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly: "I have already rescued people." It's just that she was drugged, and now she has been placed in a proper place, and she is unconscious for a while. But when I jumped over the wall to save people, I didn't have time to clean up the aftermath, and the dead and wounded were still inside. And the fight in broad daylight has already alarmed the neighbors to report to the government, and they can only ask Du to clean up the aftermath. ”

The other party, Du Shiyi, naturally had no reason to believe it, so after asking the place where he was rescued, he immediately called Chibi and a few guards over. When they heard that the people had been rescued, all of them showed a look of great surprise, and immediately took the order to go to the house in Chongrangfang to check the aftermath. And when these people had gone, Du Shiyi ordered the female crown holding the white ginger to go in and report to the two princesses of Jinxian Yuzhen, and then turned around and said to Chu Shen: "Please also ask Brother Chu to lead the way."

The mission workshop is secluded and secluded, and the hostel where Chu Shen settled people is also blue bricks and black tiles, which looks simple and elegant. When Du Shiyi left the servants outside and saw a middle-aged woman coming out of the three main rooms at the door, and when she saw them curtsy with a smile and bowed silently, he couldn't help but glance at Chu Shen.

The owner and his wife were speechless, so there was little business here. During my time in Luoyang, I lived here most of the time, and I took care of the two of them. Du Shiyi nodded slightly, and when he pulled his legs to enter the room, he heard Chu Shen behind him whisper again.

"It's not a coincidence. After I returned to Luoyang, this Yuyao lady had watched polo with two nobles before, and afterwards let people see me. Chang'an Wang Yuanbao has always been a kind and charitable person, and Yuyao Niangzi often cherishes the old and the poor, so I agreed. Therefore, this time we were able to catch up. Only at that time, there were only one or twenty opponents, and her entourage was slaughtered at the first time, and I was afraid that rash action would hurt her, so I followed her back to the city to find a good opportunity to do it. In a hurry, I opened the killing ring for a while, and then I carried her back. ”

So it was, he wondered how Chu Shen could have happened to be at the right time, but it was because after he came back from Chang'an to see Wang Rong, he had mentioned this righteous man who had repeatedly taken risks to repay his kindness, and he remembered it for her. Fortunately, she was afraid that people and dogs would jump off the wall and prepare for this move, otherwise this incident might really fall to that irreparable point

At this moment, he turned to Chu Shen and said deeply: "This time, Yuyao Lady was able to get out of danger, thanks to Brother Chu's wisdom and bravery, I am here to thank her, otherwise, if there is any case, I don't know what to do, Brother Lao Chu is outside for me for a while, if someone comes at that time, please also ask Brother Chu to raise his voice and inform me." ”

Chu Shen hurriedly returned the courtesy. However, when Du Shiyi entered the room, his face finally showed a little strangeness. Seeing Du Shiyi's relieved look, it seemed that it was not just because he took the lives of the two princesses to save people, but because he had some other feelings. This brilliant and upright Du Shiyi is said to be almost not close to the female sè, and has not yet signed a marriage contract, but is he secretly having something to do with the jade lady in the house?
