In the past few days, Jingzhao Mansion is still investigating Sui Yi's whereabouts, but there is still no news. The people of the Sui family are also inquiring through connections, trying to contact the mountain bandits around Chang'an City and some gangs in the rivers and lakes, but they have found nothing.

If it was an ordinary kidnapping, the kidnappers should have asked for a ransom a long time ago, but after a few days, the kidnappers still didn't move.

Liu Yue can feel more and more that the current Sui Yi is secretly detained just like Xu Rong at the beginning, and he even speculates whether the current Sui Yi is also being tortured. And the kidnapper of Sui Yi is likely to want to get evidence from Sui Yi that he Liu Yu or Hua Ji'an is rebelling, once Sui Yi can't stand the torture, then his situation is very dangerous.

On the fifteenth day of the winter month, the snow in Chang'an City was still intermittent, and on this day there was an urgent document from Tongguan, saying that Huo Ying led the army through Tongguan and returned to Guanzhong. There was a bit of a hectic upheaval in the court.

No one expected that Huo Yi would suddenly bring back troops at this time, and the previous holy decree had also ordered Hua Ji'an and Huo Yi and others to transfer the army back and dismiss the barracks, but Hua Ji'an did not move, but only "ordered" the "puppet boss" Liu Wenyan to return to Chang'an City. Hua Ji'an's disrespect for the emperor's order has become the most troublesome thing in the imperial court today, at this time there are only two explanations for Huo Ai's return to the dynasty, the first is that Huo Ai returned to Chang'an City on the order of Hua Ji'an, what is the special purpose, and the second is that Huo Ai and Hua Ji'an had a conflict, Huo Ai's heart is towards the forward general Liu Wenyan, and he came back to Liu Wenyan.

No matter what the case is, Huo Yi is a sword hanging over the head of the imperial court, and it is well known that Huo Yi likes to play tricks, so let him muddy it, maybe it will turn Chang'an City upside down. There are not many people with Huo disease. But everyone knows that it never takes too many people to make a career.

It was also on the fifteenth day of the winter month. Xu Xuanzhu completed the inspection of the women's military camp. Returned to Chang'an City, went in a hurry, came back very calm, and returned home after reporting to the military department, as if nothing had happened.

In these days, Liu Yu still asked his spies to investigate the situation around Chang'an City as usual, but now Liu Yu no longer trusts these subordinates who were originally loyal to his orders. Liu Yu had already secretly asked Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu to prepare a new team of secret agents, who would infiltrate Chang'an City in the next few days. Help Liu Yu find out the news. Now Liu Yu is very eager to know the whereabouts of Lu Dao Sui Yi, and he can't watch the people around him suffer because of him.

But this matter is obviously Liu Yue's "heart".

On the night when Xu Xuanzhu returned home, Huo Yuan's soldiers and horses were stationed less than 100 miles away from Chang'an City. But this time, Huo Ill was suddenly returned to Guanzhong, and he did not greet the imperial court beforehand, so that the imperial court could not understand the intention of Huo Ill for a while, and the matter of inviting him to stay was put on hold for the time being. It is equivalent to letting Huo Ai be stationed wherever he is stationed.

Huo was not polite, and was directly stationed within a hundred miles of Chang'an City. With the speed of the march of Huo's department, it can lead the troops to Chang'an City in more than an hour. It is equivalent to the safety of Chang'an City is threatened, and the military department of the same day asked the Son of Heaven overnight to transfer the Chang'an battalion that was patrolling the east of Chang'an City to hold the action of the Huo Disease Department hostage, saying that it was a resignation, but as long as they could keep an eye on it, it was already rare, and no one knew what the combat effectiveness of Huo Dao Huo was in the end. In the case of the Chang'an City Guards, who are equipped with old-style weapons, it is not enough to stuff the teeth of Huo's ill soldiers and horses.

The next day, on the sixteenth day of the winter month, Sui Yi suddenly "fell from the sky" and was found in a small alley in the outer city north of the city.

At this time, Sui Yi seemed to have lived in the beggars for a year, covered in dirty and ragged clothes, unkempt, and had no injuries on his body, but he was hungry, and the first thing he was found by the Jingzhao Mansion was to eat. The yacha who found Sui Yi immediately reported the matter to the Son of Heaven, and Sui Yi was summoned to the palace by the emperor.

When Sui Yi entered the palace to see the emperor and left the palace gate, he went to the Qianfeng General's Mansion to report to Liu Yu that he was safe.

At this time, Sui Yi had already changed into clean clothes, and the whole person looked listless, as if he hadn't slept for a few days, and the whole person looked very sleepy. Liu Yu looked at Sui Yi and felt like a drug addict who had just taken drugs.

"Where have you been these days?" Liu Yu asked.

Sui Yi glanced at Liu Yu in a daze, and said: "Who knows, it seems that they are locked in a cellar, they throw a small steamed bun in every day, they can't eat enough, and they don't give water to drink, fortunately, there is a basin of rainwater in the cellar." How hard do you say my life is? ”

Liu Yue was a little puzzled, since those people kidnapped him, what was the purpose?

"Who kidnapped you, and who did you meet?" Liu Yu had no choice but to throw the question to the parties.

Sui Yi sat on the chair, supported his head with his arm and thought about it, and said, "I can't remember, I just remember that I lived in the room with the foxy Liu Mei'er very quickly...... I felt like I was in a daze, like I was in a dream, and when I woke up, I was in that dungeon. They didn't ask me anything, but after eating the steamed buns they gave me, I felt very sleepy, and I didn't remember seeing anyone when I slept in a daze. ”

Liu Yu was helpless.

This kid was kidnapped, and he didn't even know who kidnapped him. Liu Yuxin said that this matter was inevitably too coincidental, maybe the thief used ecstasy similar to smoke to stun Sui Yi, and then said something from his mouth. If it weren't for Huo Yi suddenly leading his troops back to Chang'an City, Sui Yi would not have escaped so quickly.

In short, everything is still in Liu Yu's speculation, because Liu Yu doesn't know who his enemy is.

"Go back and rest." Liu Yu couldn't get useful information from Sui Yi, and said, "Everyone in the family is also worried about it, go back and have a look as soon as possible." ”

Sui Yi smiled heartlessly and said, "I have already found someone to go back and tell them, they shouldn't be in a hurry." ”

As she was talking, Sui Yu came to the Qianfeng General's Mansion in a hurry, and when she saw Sui Yu, Sui Yu couldn't help wiping her tears.

"Old sister, what are you crying about? Brother, I'm not fine? Sui Yi didn't understand his family's worries at all, in the five or six days when his life and death were uncertain, the Sui family could be said to be the whole family and explored the counties around Chang'an City, no one thought that Sui Yi was locked up in a cellar in Chang'an City.

After sending Sui Yi and Sui Yu away from the two brothers and sisters, Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu exchanged a look. Xu Xuanzhu is now relieved, because it seems that all the embarrassment has been lifted.

The kidnappers also had to release the people back.

Liu Yu felt that this was only the first round of the dark war, this round he was a passive move, if it wasn't for Liu Liniang's awakening, Liu Yu would not have noticed the danger around him, and he would not have hurriedly transferred Huo Yi back to Chang'an City to increase his bargaining chips. And in the confrontation in the past few days, perhaps it was the opponent's failure to extract useful information from Sui Yi's mouth that made Liu Yu wait for Huo's return.

But who knows that this is not a bureau set up by Liu Liniang?

In the final analysis, Liu Liniang's heart is for the remnants of King Huai, and now there are several powerful forces in the court, and there is also an orthodox emperor Su Zhe, the king of Chu, who has not shown up.

Whoever was going to target him, he was still confused. All he can do is defend himself first, and then wait for the opportunity to launch a counterattack. (To be continued......)
