618. 617 Another sleepless night
At this time, Lin Ling'er snuggled up in Tuoba Jiuxiao's arms and fell asleep sweetly, and the entire Yuexian Palace was decorated with green, even if it was not in spring, it would always be a green scene.
Spring is blooming, snuggled in the arms of her lover, this is the time she has been looking forward to for four years, how can she not sleep heartily?
It's just that, in addition to the excitement, she completely forgot about the caravan she brought from the Western Regions, as if with Tuoba Jiuxiao and her daughter, her world was full, and she couldn't think of anything else, and she couldn't ask for anything else.
However, it was another sleepless night for Tuoba Jiuxiao.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he quietly got up, helped her cover the quilt, took out a set of night clothes from the cupboard, quickly equipped it, flew out of the window, turned over and jumped onto the roof, and floated away like a swallow.
The General's Mansion has become a temporary command center, and the Muer family, Xiao Zhengzi, and Zhu Guli all live in the Mansion, and the destination of his trip is the General's Mansion.
In fact, Nangong was absolutely wrong, since Tuoba Jiuxiao ascended the throne, he only focused on looking for Lin Ling'er, for him, the remnant of the previous dynasty, he didn't pay attention to it at all, maybe because of Lin Ling'er, because he once loved the woman he also loved, and there seemed to be resonance in the dark; Maybe he hated Nangong Qingfeng and Yun Aotian so much that he was too tired and lost too much, so he didn't want to continue this game of hatred.
What's more, with Nangong Jue's wife and children in hand, he didn't dare to make waves.
In the past three years, he has taken good care of Nangong Jue's wife and children, it is said that Yan Linglong is the princess of Zhebei, when Nangong Qingfeng was in power, he was known for his ruthlessness, and he had the intention of expanding his territory and annexing Zhebei, and the lord of Zhebei pushed his daughter out in order to protect himself and curry favor with Daegu.
Yan Linglong is different from her father, she is a fresh and natural woman, she fell in love at first sight with Nangong Jue, who was suave at that time, Nangong Jue because her eyes looked very similar to Lin Ling'er, especially the clear eyes, and had a good impression of her, and even unconsciously regarded her as Lin Ling'er's stand-in, although Yan Linglong knew but didn't care, she only loved him with all her heart and was willing to give everything for him, so that she still ran away with him when she was pregnant with Liujia, and finally although she was caught, she had no regrets, and quietly guarded the sons of the two, Imprisoned in the dungeon of the General's Palace, he lived silently.
Qiqi has been abducted by Nangong Jue for one day and two nights, which is not a long time, but for Tuoba Jiuxiao, it is one day and three autumns.
He couldn't sleep at night, and came to the prison general's mansion in disguise, and at this moment, the house was also lit up all night, and no one could sleep peacefully.
"Lord of the Kingdom!"
Moore and the others had already taken off their masks, and they met the former Hades for the first time four years later, but they didn't expect it to be in such a situation.
Mu Er took Xiao Yingzi, Xiao Zhengzi, and Zhu Guli to bow down and kowtow together, and Tuoba Jiuxiao personally helped them up, and Mu Er was already in tears.
How much longing, how much grievance, and how much self-blame are contained in these tears, needless to say, Tuoba Jiuxiao already knows it in his chest.
"The lord of the country, the last general is not effective in protecting the lord, please give the lord ......"
Muer lowered his head, shameless.
Tuoba Jiuxiao didn't speak, just patted him on the shoulder heavily, and one action was the best answer.
If it weren't for the few of them to follow Lin Ling'er, Lin Ling'er's mother and daughter didn't know what would happen now, except for gratitude, he didn't have any resentment.
Xiao Zhengzi slapped himself hard with a "snap", and cried and said:
"It's all to blame for the minions, why are they so stupid, they sleep so dead, they don't even know that someone came in, the minions are really damned, damned!"
As he spoke, he slapped himself twice in a row, and Xiao Yingzi on the side hurriedly grabbed his hand and said silently:
"You can't be blamed for that!"
She turned to face Tuoba Jiuxiao and said,
"Lord of the country, this thing is strange, the cicada of the slave is the same size as the eldest princess, and she is also a girl, why is Nangong absolutely so accurate?"
Mu Yudao:
"I have already investigated this matter, and it was Nangong Jue who bought off the shopkeeper to make such a precise move."
"Alright,"
Tuoba Jiuxiao said in a deep voice,
"The matter has come to this, there is no need to investigate the past, but there is the latest news?"
Mu Yu said respectfully:
"If you return to the country, you haven't yet, one day and two nights, I believe that Nangong will never run too far, not to mention that he is still with the eldest princess, a child who is only four years old. Now with the town as the center, there are people who have ambushed us for hundreds of miles, and I believe that news will come soon. ”
Tuoba Jiuxiao pondered for a moment and said:
"Nangong is by no means an ordinary person, he has strong martial arts and a flexible mind, it is inconvenient for a big man with a small child, if it is him, he will definitely have some cover."
However, the minister didn't understand, he kidnapped the eldest princess, why did he leave his name? If you don't explain who you are, wouldn't you be more able to fight for yourself a chance to escape? ”
Mu Yu pondered.
"First, he was confident that he would be able to avoid pursuit; Second, the eldest princess is his hostage and his talisman. With the eldest princess in hand, what is he afraid of? ”
Tuoba Jiuxiao analyzed.
Mu Yu thought about it again and again, in fact, when he learned that it was Nangong Jue who had kidnapped Qiqi, he had an idea in his mind, he didn't believe that the lord of the country had never thought of it, but because the lord of the country was unwilling to implement it, he didn't say it, and now, he has to say it anyway:
"The lord of the country, the minister has a plan, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"
Tuoba Jiuxiao glanced at him, as if he knew what he was going to say, and finally agreed:
"Speak."
"Yes."
Mu Yu clasped his hands into fists, bowed respectfully, and then said,
"Actually, it's very simple, Nangong Jue's wife and children are in our hands, he can kidnap the eldest princess, why don't we use his wife and children to lure the snake out of the hole?"
Tuoba Jiuxiao's eyebrows sank slightly, and as soon as these words came out, everyone quieted down, waiting for the decision of the lord of the country.
After a long time, he finally spoke:
No one knew what Nangong Jue wanted, and he said in the letter that he would return Qiqi, but in a surprising way. He didn't even mention his wife and children, but it is conceivable that in his heart, Yan Linglong and his son are not very important, what he cares about, what he wants, may be something that none of us can imagine. ”
After some analysis, he sighed,
"He can not want his wife and children, but he can't do without the lonely eldest princess."
In fact, he knew in his heart that since Nangong could accurately kidnap Qiqi, it proved that he knew everything about Lin Ling'er's return, and there was only one channel for him to know about this matter, and that was to eavesdrop on his conversation with Lin Ling'er, so the purpose of his infiltration into the palace was not to visit his wife and children, or to assassinate him to avenge his father.
Now that I think about it, it seems that the latter is more likely.
In order to take revenge, in order to be able to go further, he needs a talisman like Qiqi, and this is his best choice.
Mu Yu slammed his fist on the table, gritting his teeth with hatred:
"This Nangong Jue, why did you let him run away in the first place? Lord, no matter what, we should give it a try, hang Yan Linglong and his son at the city gate for a few days, I don't believe it, he Nangong will definitely be able to stand it? ”
Moore is also heartbroken:
"Lord, although this move is not very fair, it is a feasible method after all, at least it can try Nangong Jue's intentions!"
Tuoba Jiuxiao knew that this was a solution, but if Lin Ling'er knew that he hung a three-year-old child at the city gate, he would definitely not forgive him.
But Mu Yu and Mu Er are right, now Nangong should never go too far, and only at this time can he push his wife and children out to receive the best results.
He pondered again and again, and said:
"At dawn, Yan Linglong and her son will be hung at the morning gate, and the surrounding heavy troops will be ambushed, waiting for the opportunity to move."
Everyone knows that the lord of the country is not a ruthless person, and Xiaoyingzi can't help but get nervous about this move:
"The lord of the country, the master of Ling'er, she ...... Got it? ”
If she knew, would she agree with the lord of the country to do this?
Under the background of black clothes, Tuoba Jiuxiao's silver hair looked particularly cold, he closed his eyes, wiped away the fragility and sadness in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"She didn't know. All of you listen, the matter of Qiqi is not allowed to reveal half a word, everything must be done in secret. ”
"Yes, my lord."
All should be down.
"Mu Er, Xiao Zhengzi, Xiao Yingzi, Zhu Guli, each of the four of them brought a team of people, and the rest of them took the portrait of Qiqi and searched from house to house, and they couldn't let go of every inch of land."
"Yes."
The four of them should go down, and the loudest one among them was Zhu Guli.
It's not that he didn't think that Lin Ling'er would one day return to Tuoba Jiuxiao's embrace, but he didn't expect that all this would come so quickly and smoothly, before he was still hoping that he could rely on Amoli to mix up an official and become the richest person among the officials, and the most powerful official among the rich, but now when he saw the momentum of Tuoba Jiuxiao and the degree to which Lin Ling'er was favored, he began to regret that he had sent a message to Amoli, if this silver-haired lord knew what he had done, would he also hang him at the city gate?
Now that he finally has the opportunity to be diligent, as long as he shows his best and pleases Lin Ling'er with his heart in the future, I believe that in the near future, his ideals will be realized.
In the past, he was a commercial overlord on the Silk Road, and in the past three years, this ideal has been realized in the hands of Lin Ling'er.
Since only Muer and the other four people knew the appearance of Qiqi, so their task was naturally more arduous, this night, the officers and soldiers of the dynasty searched almost every corner of Jintan City, and there was no trace of Qiqi, including the palace and various palaces, because the most dangerous place is the safest place, Tuoba Jiuxiao knows the truth very well, so he can't let anyone go.
When the hour had just arrived, the sky was still gray, and on the avenue dozens of miles outside the city of Jintan, a simple carriage was hurrying westward, driven by an old man and a young man, and in the carriage sat a woman holding a child......
