Chapter 18: Where to Hide?

I don't know how long it took, Wu Jin's hand stopped, and his hot lips began to cool down rapidly, he heard the sound from outside, and Yu Hailan also heard it, but at this time, her heart had melted, even if she died in Wu Jin's arms at this time, she didn't care.

"Shhhh Masters! ”

Wu Jin reminded her in a low voice that he had heard a clear voice outside, and the voice was above his head, "Old prince, I'm for your good, or open the door and take a look!" ”

He suddenly regained his senses and hugged Yu Hailan tightly, for fear that she would make a little noise.

Yu Hailan's face was hot and crimson, and she was lying weakly on Wu Jin's shoulder, she closed her eyes, still reminiscing about the incomparably wonderful taste.

...... When all the searches were in vain, Shao Jingwen's eyes finally fell on the official boat of the King of Lanling, and his subordinates quickly brought him information, in the stern of the official boat, found the traces of someone on the boat, Shao Jingwen immediately concluded that the person he wanted to arrest must be hiding on the official boat. At this time, he received the news that the prince had also moved to Yanshi County and came by boat, and was on his way to Yanshi County, and time did not allow him to care too much about the consequences of offending the King of Lanling.

The embroidered guard seized the evidence of the water traces on the stern of the boat, forcibly boarded the ship to search, and the owner of Zhao was also taken on board by them, and everyone had to identify him.

"Old prince, in fact, the humble position is also for the sake of your safety, these three people are all strong in martial arts, extremely vicious, they hide in the prince's official boat, it will endanger the safety of the prince, whether the prince wants to or not, it is the duty of the humble duty to protect the safety of the prince!"

Shao Jingwen said it magnificently, he never admitted that he was tracking down the tax and silver of the East Palace, and insisted that it was three Wang Yang thieves who attempted to assassinate Shen Guo's uncle.

Nearly a hundred embroidered guards rode into every corner of the official boat to conduct a careful search, more than a dozen of the entourage of the king of Lanling were furious, and wanted to resist, but the king of Lanling shouted to them, since the embroidered guards had been forcibly searched, if they turned their faces, they would search more thoroughly, and the gains outweighed the losses, this breath, he had to hold back.

"Since General Shao is kind, then I don't want to brush off General Shao's good intentions, so be it! I have come to accompany General Shao so as not to have unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

The two walked to the gangway, and a rider whispered to Shao Jingwen: "There are traces of someone hiding in the small cabin. ”

Shao Jingwen nodded, his gaze was raised, and he fell on the gangway, most of the first floor and the bilge were searched, but the second floor was not searched, he laughed dryly, "Old prince, I don't know what kind of place the second floor is?" ”

"The second floor is the old man's residence, you won't even search the old man's residence!"

"Hey! How can the old prince talk about a search word, we are protecting the safety of the old prince, those are three vicious assassins, if they hide under the old prince's bed, wouldn't it be very dangerous, no! We must be responsible for the safety of the old prince. ”

With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen Ti Riders ran up the gangway, and the face of King Lanling finally appeared angry, and he shouted angrily, "Stop me!" ”

More than a dozen horsemen didn't dare to move, and the king of Lanling frowned angrily, and snorted heavily, "My emperor Fu Jiang joined the army at the age of sixteen, served as the envoy of the Helong Festival for thirty years, and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, even if I am now in the last years, but I believe that as long as I raise my arms, there are still people who are willing to serve the old man to the death, if you don't believe it, you can go and search!" ”

The tone of the king of Lanling County was full of threat, Shao Jingwen had a little fear in his heart, the father of the king of Lanling County, King Liang, known as the king of the northwest, forty years ago in the Jin'an incident, King Liang was placed under house arrest in Beijing, and later after the first emperor ascended the throne, the two sides reached a compromise, King Liang entered Beijing as the prince, and his son Lanling King served as the envoy of the Helong Festival.

Although the king of Lanling County also returned to Beijing ten years ago to retire, but the current Helong Jiedu envoy Zhang Chongjun is his son-in-law, his son Huangfu Zhuoguan Baixi Liang Governor, all of whom hold heavy armies, and he himself is a captain, although the emperor will not move Uncle Shen Guo because of his anger, but it is expected to use himself as a scapegoat, and the prince will also be difficult, if it is not good, it will push this centrist powerful figure to the East Palace party, and Uncle Shen Guo can't spare himself.

He hurriedly waved his hand and let his men all come down the gangway, thinking about what to do? At this moment, another of his subordinates stepped forward quickly and whispered in his ear, "The prince's ship is ten miles away, and the situation is urgent!" ”

Shao Jingwen was shocked in his heart, he bowed down and hurriedly saluted: "Please forgive the old prince, I dare not search for my humble duties, but my humble duties are indeed official duties, the emperor has a will, and the embroidered clothes and guards can search the East Palace, please forgive the old prince, I am willing to go up with the old prince to check." ”

After a pause, he added: "I have the emperor's royal card on my body, and I am worried that the old prince will not be able to explain." ”

He took a step forward and turned the search into his personal inspection, but at the same time, he also took out the emperor's royal card to resist the pressure of the army of King Lanling.

The king of Lanling County had no choice but to give in, "Okay! Three people went up. ”

Shao Jingwen took two of the most elite subordinates, went up to the second floor with the king of Lanling, went up the gangway, and directly opposite was the room of the king of Lanling, the door was ajar, Shao Jingwen only glanced at the door, and knew that there was no problem, but Shao Jingwen still went in and walked around.

"The old prince's room is very elegant! It doesn't feel like it's on a boat. ”

Greetings on his lips, but his eagle-like gaze swept around the surrounding walls, he was looking to see if the color of the walls was abnormal, if dozens of soldiers came up, they would beat them one by one with wooden hammers, Shao Jingwen also found that although the ship was very large, there were not many rooms, indicating that the ship had a lot of darkrooms or mezzanines, but so far, they had not found a mezzanine entrance, and this ship was obviously made by a master.

It's a pity that there are only three of them, and they can't knock and find them one by one, Shao Jingwen secretly hated in his heart, so he had to glance at the two subordinates, both of whom were search masters, and they felt the condition of the planks under their feet as they walked.

At this time, one of his subordinates found a floor mezzanine behind the bed, he gave Shao Jingwen a look, Shao Jingwen slowly stepped forward and knocked on the floor with his toes, sure enough, the sound was different from other places, and he found a metal buckle, he turned back to the king of Lanling and smiled: "Lord Wang, it seems that there is a secret grid below, could it be that the three assassins are hiding under this?" It's a great threat to the prince! ”

King Lanling smiled faintly, "There is a secret grid below, you can hide three mice, hide three people, that's a joke." ”

Where did Shao Jingwen believe it, he smiled again: "Can you take a look?" ”

"This ..... It's not so convenient! "King Lanling tried his best to make it difficult for them and delay their time, and he heard it just now, the prince was about to arrive.

The more he didn't let him look, the more suspicious Shao Jingwen became, he squatted down and banged on the floor, feeling that it was very empty underneath, this was the only mezzanine entrance they found so much, how could he give up.

"Old prince, let's take a look! I'm on official duty after all. ”

"Good! I'll show you. ”

King Lanling took out an iron wire from the drawer next to him, stepped forward, and trembled his hand to penetrate the small hole in the metal button, but he couldn't put it in for a long time, Shao Jingwen was anxious, "Let me come!" ”

He took the wire and delicately passed through the small hole in the concealed button, and the two men immediately flashed to the side, holding the hilt of the knife, and staring at the floor with their eyes firmly on the floor, lest someone suddenly rush out of it.

The floor was slowly pulled apart, Shao Jingwen was disappointed, there was a mezzanine inside, but the mezzanine was only one foot high, and it couldn't fit people.

"General Shao, this is the mezzanine where ice cubes are placed in the middle of summer, I said it, you can't pretend to be a person, you have too much heart."

Shao Jingwen lowered the floor in a daze, but his subordinates whispered: "The mezzanine is thick and thin!" ”

Shao Jingwen woke up, he poked his head down again, and lit a fire fold, illuminating the surroundings, only to see that there was only a narrow passage below, and he couldn't see anything else.

He secretly hated in his heart, there were too many mezzanine and secret passages to hide in this ship, and he was even sure that the person he wanted to arrest was on the second floor.

He walked out of the study, and walked to the next cabin, the door was locked, and before he could speak, the king of Lanling County preemptively said: "This is my little granddaughter's room, the door is locked, they can't go in, so they don't need to check it!" ”

Since Shao Jingwen kept saying that it was the assassin himself who was hiding and had nothing to do with him as the king of Lanling, then the king of Lanling County used him to say that he would be armed, and the assassin would not lock the door by himself, so he would definitely not be inside.

Shao Jingwen was speechless, he scolded in his heart, this is to give the old man face to say this, he actually took it seriously, he snorted heavily in his heart, his face sank, and he stretched his voice and said: "The three assassins stole a lot of silver tickets from Uncle Guo at the same time, they will use these silver tickets to bribe people, of course the old prince has no problem, but it is difficult to guarantee that no one will hide them, the old prince, I am for your good, or open the door and take a look!" ”

It's not good that the King of Lanling County will not allow them to enter this room, the more they are not allowed to enter, the more suspicious they will be, so the King of Lanling County smiled, "Since General Shao must see it, I can open the door." ”

He turned back and said to the old servant, "Go and get the key to open the door!" ”

The old servant was embarrassed and said, "The key to this room is usually on the young lady, and we don't have it." ”

"You go look for it, I remember there's a spare key."

The old family turned around and swallowed slowly, at this time, someone on the side of the gangway beckoned, indicating that there was an emergency, Shao Jingwen stepped forward, "What's wrong?" ”

"General, the prince's ship is already five miles away, and there are three thousand troops to escort it!"

Shao Jingwen seemed to have one foot in the air, his heart fell into the abyss, the distance of five miles, at most a quarter of an hour, he began to sweat on his forehead, he had already seen that this Lanling King was deliberately delaying his time, this key is estimated to be impossible to find in a quarter of an hour, he can now be sure that the three people are hiding in the mezzanine of the second floor, the key is that the entire second floor is a mezzanine, where will they hide?

'Smack! A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes were fixed on the locked room, most likely in it.
