Li Kai is not stupid, so he can predict the approaching danger in advance.

But he wasn't smart enough, because he didn't know how to deal with the sudden danger.

Therefore, when the time came to the tenth day, that is, the early morning of the day when Xie Xuan was scheduled to arrive in Fanyang, the eunuchs in the palace of King Wei suddenly discovered a big thing: King Wei ran away.

I don't know when I ran or where I went.

The eunuchs instantly flocked to the door of Chen Yao's mansion like a group of chickens who couldn't find hens, and gathered there with sad faces.

Chen Yao had already heard the news that King Wei had run away in the mansion, and at this time he hurriedly put on a coat and rushed out, his eyes swept over the group of depressed eunuchs in front of him, a little helpless, "Didn't you already tell you to watch King Wei yesterday, how could you not even know that people had run away?" ”

The eunuchs panicked, humming and not speaking.

I was instructed, but they didn't take it to heart.

After all, Li Kai is not guilty, what is there to run?

Isn't this run a crime?

So they predicted that Li Kai might be afraid, might struggle, and might resist, but they just didn't predict that Li Kai would run at all.

Naturally, he didn't listen to Chen Yao's words and stared at King Wei well.

Chen Yao rubbed his eyebrows, said that he knew, turned around, and went home.

He had to go back and change his clothes before he could go out of the city to chase Li Kai.

Chen Yao didn't punish anyone, because he knew in his heart that the eunuchs couldn't be blamed for not listening to the command.

After all, they don't know that others judge the crisis of a matter by its severity and the relationship with themselves, but Li Kai judges the crisis of a matter by looking at people.

As long as Li Jin is involved in everything, Li Kai will definitely be in chaos and panic.

Chen Yao could see this clearly, but it was limited to that, he didn't know why.

The reason is only known to Li Kai himself.

……

Since he was a child, the person Li Kai was most afraid of was Li Jin.

This matter has to start from sixteen years ago, when Li Jin was taken back to Chang'an from Guoqing Temple.

Li Kai was just four years old that year, and he didn't remember much, but he was only impressed by something related to Li Jin.

At that time, he didn't know Li Jin, but one day he suddenly met him in the palace, and when he saw that he was dressed plainly, he thought that the new eunuch didn't know how to dress, so he casually called him and asked him to play with him, and knelt on the ground to ride a horse for himself.

At that time, Li Jin did not bring any entourage with him, but Li Kai brought a group of eunuchs and palace maids behind him, Li Jin glanced at Li Kai, for some reason, he did not open his mouth to explain his identity, but really knelt on the ground and made him a "horse".

Li Kai didn't remember much about what happened after being a horse, but he only vaguely remembered that somehow, the two of them played near the Taiye Pool, and somehow, they fell into the Taiye Pool together.

But all this was not the most frightening, the most frightening thing was that after falling in, he clearly felt in his struggle that someone was tugging at his feet under the water, trying to pull him down.

That force was very strong, and it was full of malice, and the young Li Kai couldn't break free at all.

In desperation, he looked down and saw only a pair of eyes that were calm to the point of indifference.

It was the first time in his life that he really felt the gaze and approach of death.

Fortunately, many eunuchs immediately jumped into the pool and quickly rescued him, and when he looked down for the last time, his feet were empty.

Li Kai was still in shock after going ashore, and it happened that the emperor happened to be near the Taiye Pool at this time, and when he heard the sound here, he quickly rushed over.

He was quite conscious at the time, but he was a little flustered, and he didn't notice that Li Jinzheng, who was later recovered, was lying on the ground, and the whole person had entered a coma due to drowning, and his life was hanging by a thread.

The father became furious in an instant after hearing all the ins and outs, and he almost drowned at all, so he couldn't help but beat him up and punished him to go to the Changji Hall to kneel with the eldest brother who couldn't do anything.

Li Kai cried and refused to believe the result. He neither believed that Li Jin was his own brother, nor did he believe that Li Jin would drown.

He clearly remembered those underwater eyes. How can that be the calmness that a drowning person can show.

This incident left a deep shadow on Li Kai's young mind, and even since then, he has never been near the Taiye Pool, and since then, he has never dared to look directly into Li Jin's eyes.

Li Jin's eyes gave people the feeling of being too yin, and the eyes alone were enough to make people shudder, always reminding him of the eyes he had seen underwater.

Although it has been a long time since then, he is no longer sure whether this incident is his hallucination or the real Li Jin's doing, but he firmly believes in one thing: Li Jin is someone he must not approach.

……

……

Xie Xuan and his entourage arrived at Fanyang City at ten o'clock in the evening.

The eunuchs and ministers in Fanyang City had already obediently lined up in two lines and waited at the gate of the city, and when they saw them arriving, they all bowed and saluted as if nothing had happened, welcoming Xie Xuan and Pei Jing inside.

Even so, Xie Xuan still sensed that something was wrong in this battle.

He dismounted directly, took out a random eunuch from the team and asked, "Where is King Wei?" ”

The unlucky eunuch trembled with fright, "Hit... Hunting went. ”

Xie Xuan tugged at his collar, almost dragging him to a place where he could avoid everyone's ears, then drew his sword, the blade of the sword against the neck of the eunuch, and asked again calmly, "Where is King Wei?" ”

……

When they went back, they both looked normal.

Pei Jing looked at Xie Xuan strangely, and didn't wait to ask what happened, he heard Xie Xuan take the initiative to say, "I've been traveling for so many days, I think everyone is very tired, you can take someone into the city to rest at the accommodation, I'll go to find King Wei." ”

Pei Jing felt more and more strange, "Where did King Wei go?" ”

The eunuch standing beside Xie Xuan hurriedly answered, "I'm going hunting." With that, he didn't forget to look at the other ministers who came out to greet him.

The ministers hurriedly echoed and nodded, "It's going hunting." ”

Pei Jinghu looked at them suspiciously, and always felt a little strange, "Where did King Wei go hunting?" ”

The eunuch said, "The hunting ground." ”

"Nonsense." Pei Jing rolled his eyes, "Didn't I know it was a hunting ground?" Which hunting ground, I ask? ”

"It's because I don't know that I need to look for it." Xie Xuan interrupted Pei Jing, "Take them into the city, just leave this matter to me." ”

Pei Jing pouted dissatisfied, and wanted to propose to go to find the King of Wei together, but he thought that he had been traveling for ten days and sleeping in the open air, and he was really tired, so he had to nod his head indiscriminately and lead a group of people into the city.

The city gate soon left only Xie Xuan and the eunuchs of Shicai.

Xie Xuan looked at him, "Say, King Wei is lost, so where did Chen Yao go?" ”

He had seen Chen Yao when Chen Yan came to Chang'an to meet the emperor, and he also knew that he was the person Chen Yan left in Fanyang City to guard.

King Wei ran away, but he didn't believe that Chen Yao also ran away.

The eunuch sneered and raised his hand to compliment, "Sure enough, nothing can escape the eyes of the chief manager." To tell you the truth, as soon as I heard that King Wei was missing this morning, Lord Chen rushed out to look for someone, and he hasn't come back yet. ”

"So it was his idea to have you come out in two lines to greet you?"

The eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Yes, but Lord Chen also said that this matter may be able to deceive Deputy Chief Pei, but it may not be able to deceive you, so I instructed us that if you ask, tell you to go north to find him." ”

North?

Xie Xuan thought for a moment and immediately reacted, "What does he mean, did King Wei go to find the Duke of Chu?" ”

"Exactly."

Xie Xuan nodded, "I know, you can go back, I'll go alone." ”

As he spoke, he stepped on his horse, turned around and galloped straight north.
