Chapter 291: Surprise
Li Jin took Laifu to the new prefect He to add fuel to the situation, and He was busy summoning people to be led by Laifu to Tingfeng Lane on the outskirts of the city.
Dozens of officers and soldiers lit up the alley as bright as day. Lord He sorted out his official uniform and asked someone to come forward and call the door.
Prince Ning and Princess Ning disappeared in the place under his jurisdiction, and Lord He, who had just taken office, kicked his head on the door frame. Now that there is news of Prince and Princess Ning, he is more excited than anyone else.
A servant stepped forward and knocked on the door, but for a long time, there was no reply.
Lord He signaled to knock again, Li Jin couldn't bear it anymore, and whispered to Lord He's ear: "Xiaguan advises the Lord to go in directly to get people, Xiaguan heard that the princess has a few good kung fu, and the Lord will wait." I'm afraid that if they are prepared, we will miss it again in a while. ”
Lord He is a soft-eared person, and when he heard this, he felt reasonable, and waved his hand: "Let me go in and get someone." ”
The door was kicked open with a "clang". A group of people crowded into the courtyard with torches.
Lord He swaggered in front of everyone.
Looking at the closed doors and windows, he ordered: "Search!" ”
Lord He made meritorious contributions and directly broke into Tingfeng Lane to take people. Several officers and soldiers searched but found nothing.
"Report, no one."
"Report, no one."
……
Lord He's face was not good-looking, he looked at Li Jin beside him: "What's the matter?" "What are you going to do with me in the middle of the night?
Li Jin was also stunned, and hurriedly went in person to check the house. But the room was empty, and there was no one. And the house is clean and tidy, and it doesn't look like it's left in a hurry.
"This? This? My lord, if they have run away, they must have heard the wind and ran first, so you can order the sentry posts to be set up at the entrances of the alleys......"
"Shut up, Li Jin, don't forget that now I am the prefect here, and you are just a general judge."
He Da's popular nose is about to be crooked. In the middle of the night, he transferred people, didn't say anything, and let this little general judge point fingers at him in front of so many people.
Li Jin knew that he was in a hurry, and he had forgotten his identity. Looking at Lord He's angry face, he quickly retreated.
All the officers and soldiers came and left again.
In the house next door, Su Muling and Wei Huai'an were separated by a wall, and they heard clearly what was happening in their yard.
"Thanks to your reminder, it would have been a real hassle." Su Muling raised his eyes and looked at Wei Huai'an, grateful.
It turned out that when Wei Huai'an found Su Muling's place, he found that there was someone sneaking outside the door. After entering the house, Wei Huaian reminded her that there was someone outside the door.
Wuying and Chen Sheng both jumped out and saw Laifu leaving in a carriage. Instead of arresting him, they followed him into a house.
Shadowless rushed to the roof. Chen Sheng hid outside the window and listened to all the conversations between Laifu and Li Jin.
When Li Jin and Laifu went to the mansion, Wuying and Chen Sheng also returned home. As soon as he talked about the situation, Wei Huaian immediately decided to hide first.
Wuying remembered that the family next door went out a few days ago, and there was no one at home.
So, a few people quickly packed their luggage, put the house in order, and hid in the house next door just before the arrival of the officers and soldiers.
"There's no way to stay, we're going to get out of here tomorrow." Wei Huai'an's face was a rare resoluteness.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay here and wait for You'an to come back." Su Muling's stopped tears flowed again.
"My cousin's life and death are unknown now, and if you are caught by the government, it will be a felony to resist the decree. The town of Tring is no longer safe, and you and your children must leave. Wei Huai'an's voice was full of power, and there was no doubt.
"No, I'm not leaving. I'm going to wait for Yoan to come back...... Woohoo......"
When Su Muling thought of Xiao Wenxuan being attacked, it hurt her heart again, and her heart hurt like a knife.
Su Muling wants to wait for Xiao Wenxuan to come back, which person in the house is not like this?
But Tellin can't stay, where is it safe to go? For a while, everyone had no idea, and only Su Muling's sobs were left in the room.
"Or ...... How about going to the treehouse where the prince often hunts? Shadowless suddenly proposed.
Su Muling stopped crying and raised his head.
She has been to Xiao Wenxuan's treehouse once, the space is small, and it is surrounded by dense forests, which is a good place to hide.
"Okay, just go there." Su Muling nodded.
The treehouse is not far from Xiao Wenxuan's old house. It is also very convenient to get to the palace.
As soon as Su Muling was relieved, everyone was also relieved.
In order to prevent Li Jin from coming back and forth, they made do with it for one night at the house next door.
The next night, they chartered a boat, disguised themselves, and quietly infiltrated Kuwu Island again.
Chen Sheng and Pomegranate, who were one step ahead, had already prepared the carriage, took them directly to the foot of the mountain, and escorted them to the tree house in the mountain.
This tree house is built around a thousand-year-old tree.
Halfway up there is the kitchen, then the hall, and at the top is a bedroom. Each room is connected by a staircase.
Because it is built on the branches, the tree is large and leafy, and the house hidden in the branches and leaves is almost impossible to see from the outside.
There are no stairs halfway up to the bottom of the tree, and Xiao Wenxuan and his subordinates are running up and down on weekdays.
Su Muling stood under the tree and looked up at his head. Wei Huai'an had never been here, and he didn't know where to enter.
Wuying sampled Wei Huai'an, stopped his waist and picked up Xichun, who was holding Jing Ye in his arms, and jumped on the platform halfway up his waist.
Wei Huai comprehended with peace of mind, and also picked up Su Muling and jumped on it easily.
Su Muling went directly to the bedroom on the top floor, pushed open the window, and her eyes were full of greenery. Thinking of everything he had been here with Xiao Wenxuan, Su Muling couldn't help but feel sad again.
There is a place to live, and for whom it stays has become a question again. Chen Sheng and Pomegranate could go back in a bright light, and said that they had chased for a few days without a trace of the princess before returning.
Xichun is responsible for Jing Ye, and it is also indispensable. Wei Huai'an asked Wuying to go back, and he came to protect the safety of Su Muling and Jing Ye.
Of course Wuying didn't do it, Wei Huai'an and Su Muling had discussed kissing, and Wuying had to help the master look at him. He can't drive Wei Huai'an away, but he can't keep him here near the water.
After the last few controversies, Su Muling decided: both stayed.
Su Muling is for the safety of himself and Jing Ye. Jing Ye is too young, Xichun and her don't know how to work hard, and it is too risky to leave only one person.
So, Chen Sheng and Pomegranate went back. and secretly told Su Haoran about Su Muling's current situation.
That night, the two went back and forth several times, delivering bedding, clothing, and food to the treehouse.
"Shadowless, is there any news?"
In the early morning of the next day, Su Muling was slowly stirring with a bowl of porridge, and when he saw Wuying, he came back and asked hurriedly.
"Back to the princess, for some reason, the contact point refused to contact me." Shadowless was a little annoyed.
Su Muling put down the bowl, stared for a moment, and then asked, "Which of you has the power to start and stop them?" ”
"Only the prince...... Rajah? Surprise appeared in the shadowless eyes.
The corners of Su Muling's mouth also rose, and his eyes were clear: "That is to say...... You'an isn't dead yet. ”
"But why didn't the prince tell us the news that he was still alive?" Xichun, who was coaxing Jing Ye on the side, interjected.
"The prince probably doesn't want the news to leak. Princess, it must be like this. At the thought that the prince was still alive, Wuying was excited like a child.
"Shadowless, you go back to Terin Town tonight and leave a message for You'an to tell him that we are here." She was afraid that Xiao Wenxuan would not be able to find herself when she came back one day.
"Yes."
Xiao Wenxuan did not die. With this affirmation, Su Muling was no longer depressed, and she regained her previous vitality.
Jing Ye has been almost six months, and it is no longer a problem to turn over, and now his goal is to try to make himself sit and watch his mother.
Pomegranate brought him many toys from the palace, and took advantage of the dark moon and the high wind to carry him a woolen carpet of the kingdom of Lolai and spread it on the floor of his bedroom.
Jing Ye is happy now, and sits on the ground every day to play with Xichun. At the same time, one of Jing Ye's small teeth also quietly popped out, and when he was feeding, he naughtily bit Su Muling a few times from time to time.
Su Muling was in pain, pretending to be angry and patting his buttocks: "Dare to bite my mother?" Do you want to starve? ”
Jing Ye grinned with a small mouth with only one tooth, as if he could understand.
Wei Huai'an has been staying in the hall since he arrived here, flipping through the books that Xiao Wenxuan left here to pass the time.
Every day, Wuying goes out to hunt some game, and Xichun is responsible for three meals a day. Pomegranate and Chen Sheng were in charge of delivering them what they needed.
They knew that the emperor had planted eyeliner in the palace, so they went in and out at night. And so another month passed. In the blink of an eye, it is winter.
On this day, it snowed heavily. Snowflakes are flying, and the whole forest is covered in silver, which is very beautiful.
Su Muling listened to the sound of falling snow and gradually fell asleep.
I don't know when, Su Muling felt someone leaning over beside her.
Su Muling gave way to the bed and left a place for Xichun:
"Cold, huh? I told you to come up and sleep, but you just wouldn't. ”
The people around her didn't speak, and a pair of hands hugged her through the quilt.
Su Muling was startled and instantly jumped up. When she saw the person in front of her clearly, tears couldn't stop flowing.
"You'an? You're back? It's not a dream. As she spoke, she pinched Xiao Wenxuan hard. Xiao Wenxuan said "oops", and Su Muling smiled: "It's not a dream, it's true." ”
Then she threw herself into his arms and beat and beat him:
"Why did you come back...... Do you know how worried I am about you...... Huai'an came and said that you were attacked and stabbed in the heart...... I thought...... I thought I'd never see you again...... Whining...... Why didn't you leave me a letter? …… Why didn't you tell me you're alive? ”
Xiao Wenxuan remained motionless and let her vent. It wasn't until Su Muling was tired of crying that he pushed her away and wiped away the tears on her face in distress.
"It's not that I don't contact you, it's that I don't dare. After I was attacked, I pretended to be dead, so that the emperor could die for me......"
"Hurt ...... How's your injury? Su Muling said, and went to pick up his clothes.
Xiao Wenxuan hugged her in his arms again and comforted her softly: "It's okay, I'm wearing soft armor." The arrow falling into the water is for the emperor to see. ”
Su Muling still insisted on checking his wounds.
Xiao Wenxuan had no choice but to take off his clothes, and Su Muling saw a shallow scar on his heart.
"All right?" Su Muling was worried.
"It's all right."
"It doesn't hurt anymore?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"What are we going to do next?"
Su Muling hugged him tightly. It was as if he would lose him forever if he let go.
