Inside the study.

Unlike the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere just now, the work of half a cup of tea has passed.

Lin Enrui's expression was still tense, and Lu Zhan's face was not good, but in the end, it was Lu Zhan who took the lead in speaking, "Ten princes? Are you sure about this message? ”

"Lord Wang, it's true." Lin Enrui changed the laughter just now, and said solemnly: "How dare the minister joke about such a big thing." ”

It is only when he is talking about serious things that Lin Enrui will call himself like this.

The current Lin Enrui is very different from the appearance when he goes to and from the backyard. It's a bit like being in the court, or even on the battlefield.

"It doesn't matter." After being silent for a long time, Lu Zhan said: "Actually, I have no intention of being nostalgic for that position. ”

"Lord Wang, you are smart and confused for a while." When Lin Enrui heard this, instead of agreeing, he put forward Xiang Bo's opinion.

Is it because he has no intention to take the heir, and others believe it?

If you don't fight to the death, who can let anyone go?

"Could it be that the prince forgot about King Ning back then?" After a pause, Lynn said.

Lu Zhan's brows tightened, and he stared at him for a while, "The tenth prince has not performed the crown salute when he is still young, and he has not been crowned king. Not enough to compare with Beitangchen. ”

Of course Lu Zhan wouldn't do King Ning's matter, and he didn't dare to forget it.

"That's it." Lin Enrui knows Lu Zhan and understands that he is by no means a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

And isn't this what he and the Lin family think that Lu Zhan is worth following.

Thinking about this, Lin Enrui didn't say much, but just said, "My father asked me to tell the prince that you must be careful during the change of guard. But I'll be back in two or three days, and the prince doesn't need to bother too much. ”

Lin Enrui didn't know whether to say this to Lu Zhan or himself.

"Don't worry, I will. You are the same, open guns are easy to dodge, and dark arrows are difficult to defend. Lu Zhan instructed.

Then the two discussed some other matters, and Lin Enrui left the palace.

The next day, early in the morning, Lin Enrui set off for the west of the city.

And Lu Zhan was the same as in the past, entering the palace in the early dynasty. Everything is calm and there are no waves.

It's just that the first day passed, the second passed, and the third day passed......

Seeing Chu Yu staring at the magnolia flowers in the courtyard, Tang Ying laughed softly.

Her smile made Chu Yu come back to her senses, "Sakura-chan, what are you laughing at?" ”

During this period of time, Tang Ying and Chu Yu have become very familiar with each other, and naturally they are not as rigid as they were at the beginning.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking that old people often say that they see things and think about people, but I look at ......"

"Look at what?" Seeing the girl smiling like a little fox, Chu Yu always felt that nothing was good.

But driven by curiosity, she couldn't help but ask.

"I look at this magnolia, it doesn't look like Shao Sima."

Mulan is noble and elegant, but Lin Enrui is ...... It's not too close.

Everyone thought about Tang Ying's words, and their faces were all colorful. In the end, Xiaohui and Mingzhu couldn't help it.

Poof, both of them laughed in unison.

It wasn't until Chu Yu glared at the two of them that Mingzhu and Xiaohui hurriedly put away their smiles and lowered their heads.

"Little girl, don't think that because you are pregnant, I can't clean you up, my ancestor." When Chu Yu heard this, he coughed solemnly.

This Tang Ying is really becoming more and more lawless.

Tang Ying is a person who accepts it when she sees it, and she doesn't continue to laugh. Instead, Zhengse said: "Old Ancestor, it stands to reason that Shao Sima should also come back today." Why haven't you seen him come at this hour? ”

Chu Yu was actually worried about this matter, but how could she say it.

Therefore, he just said lightly: "Maybe he has already returned to his own mansion, or he is in the Great Sima Mansion." ”

After all, King Xu's Mansion is not Lin Enrui's home.

"Ancestor, do you believe this?" Tang Ying said with a smile.

Tang Ying on the side didn't dare to guarantee it, but if Lin Enrui came back. The first one is the Lai Xu Palace.

Chu Yu was speechless.

After a while, he said: "Maybe it's because of something delayed, just like that, he is estimated to be slower than others." ”

Tang Ying really disagreed.

But he no longer argued, but whispered a few words to Mingzhu. Then I saw Mingzhu walking outward.

"What is she doing here?" Seeing this, Chu Yu was puzzled.

Tang Ying smiled and said, "Go and help the ancestor find out the news." Otherwise, the ancestors would have panicked. ”

"You little monkey." was teased again, Chu Yu inevitably pretended to be annoyed, and reached out to poke Tang Ying's head.

I don't want to, I just finished poking. Neither of them had yet to laugh.

I saw a crescent white satin suddenly appear.

can come and go freely in and out of the house, and there is no one to choose except for Lu Zhan. Therefore, Tang Ying and Chu Yu didn't take it seriously.

Until......

The person in front of him stood for a long time, but he never said a word.

Tang Ying and Chu Yu finally sensed that something was wrong, and looked at him together.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" Tang Ying smiled and looked up and asked.

Lu Zhan's eyes were silent, but he looked at Chu Yu with a deep gaze.

"Did you go wrong with the change of guard?" Chu Yu, in the end, is an old man, and he quickly saw that something was wrong.

Lu Zhan still didn't respond, just turned sideways. Then a filthy and wounded man appeared in front of the two.

Tang Ying fixed his eyes and recognized this person, "You are Nanmu, Lin Enrui's personal guard!" What about Lynn Ray? ”

"Shao Sima, he, he ......" I don't know what happened, Nanmu couldn't cry a little when he said this.

After all, Chu Yu was still calm, and saw her striding forward.

Lightly buckled Nanmu's veins, and then gave him another elixir. Only then did he say: "Swallow this medicine first, and then tell me what happened." ”

"If you want to save it, it's useless for your master to cry!"

"I beg the ancestor to go and save my master, we were attacked by someone, and he was taken away in order to save his subordinates." Nanmu finally said a complete sentence.

Then he made a puff and knelt directly in front of Chu Yu.

"What?" Chu Yu once thought that he had misheard, "How is it possible, this is Jinling City." Who would dare to take him! ”

"Old Ancestor, Da Sima has taken someone to investigate, but there is no news yet. I have also visited the places where they were attacked, and there is no trace of them except blood. Lu Zhan said truthfully.

In other words, it was a premeditated attack.

"You've fought with them, what do you remember?" Chu Yu's body was cold, and his eyes were slightly cold.

Nan Mu tried to recall, and shook his head, "The subordinates only know that there are about twenty of them, and there are not many of them, but all of them are good at one in a hundred. So all the retinues and guards we brought with us were killed by them one by one. Even the master...... He was also seriously injured. ”

"You're saying Lynn was seriously injured before she was taken away?" Chu Yu, although his face was unharmed, the jade bone hidden in the cuffs shrank significantly.

"Yes. The ancestors, the master's back, and shoulders are all injured. The wound on his back is the heaviest, and the ...... can be seen deeply," Nanmu said truthfully.

"That's enough." Tang Ying was a woman in the end, and she carefully saw the panic under Chu Yu's calm surface, "Nanmu, you go down to heal first." The rest will be handed over to the prince and the ancestors. They will save your master. ”

"Yes, Princess." Nanmu, although reluctant to leave.

But he also knew that he couldn't help here, so he could only bow and retire in the end.

After he left, Lu Zhan quickly took out the map and prepared to discuss with Chu Yu. How quickly are they going to find people?

I didn't want to, but Chu Yu said, "Sakura, are you willing to help me?" ”

"Of course." Tang Ying nodded without hesitation, "It's just, what can I do, Ancestor?" ”

When it comes to the power of the court, she can't compare to Lu Zhan, and she can't even compare to Da Sima.

When it comes to martial arts, she's afraid that she won't even be able to beat Mingzhu, so what can she do to help?

Lu Zhan was also puzzled, "Ancestor, don't panic if you care, we can definitely ...... in the long run."

"It's too late, do you think they dare to seriously injure Lin Enrui, is it really as simple as kidnapping people?" Chu Yu shouted anxiously.

Lu Zhan was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, if it was just an ordinary person taken away, he would never be so ruthless. But do they really want Lin Enrui's life?

"Ancestor, what do you mean?" Lu Zhan asked.

Tang Ying also pricked up her ears and waited earnestly for Chu Yu's answer.

"They want to make puppets." Chu Yu said word by word.

When Tang Ying heard this, the whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning, and she was stunned in place.

Lu Zhan's expression was also very ugly, "Ancestor, this is a forbidden technique and has been lost for many years, will it be ......?"

Was she mistaken?

Could it be that she is thinking too much?

Chu Yu didn't rush to refute, she just stated in a cold voice: "To make a puppet, you need a person with a strong physique, otherwise you won't be able to bear the pain of destruction." It is necessary to seriously injure the dying person, otherwise he will not be able to take the opportunity to manipulate the other party's consciousness. What's more important is Chu Fuyao, what he is best at is making puppets. ”

"The so-called soaring to the Nine Heavens, boundless and endless. It is not an immortal who goes straight to the Nine Heavens at all, but a puppet that refines people into immortal immortals. Hypnosis is just a prelude, and this is the real highlight. ”

After saying that, Chu Yu closed her eyebrows tiredly, she thought that she would not see each other again in this life.

I didn't expect it to be able to reproduce it today.

"Ancestor, what if it's not." Tang Ying comforted her: "Lin Enrui is a young Sima after all, Chu Fuyao and they don't dare to take such a risk." ”

She really didn't want Chu Yu to be so sad, and she didn't want Lin Enrui to suffer such a catastrophe.

"So Sakura-chan, I need your help." Chu Yu said bluntly: "You have been hypnotized once, although it has been solved. But your blood can still be a guide. ”

No matter how anxious he is about some truth, Chu Yu will still not expose it.

Hearing this, Lu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little worried: "But the ancestor, Ah Ying is pregnant now, and I'm afraid of ......."

This child was the only way to kill Tang Ying, and Lu Zhan had to be nervous.

"It's okay." Tang Ying agreed, "Ancestor, I am willing to cooperate with you." ”

Then looking at Lu Zhan's gradually darkened face, Tang Ying said again: "Lord Wang, I haven't even shown my arms now, and it's nothing to have some blood." Don't you want to save Shao Sima? ”

This is obviously impossible.

So......

"Dare to ask the ancestor, how much blood do you need?" Lu Zhan's expression was still tense.

Chu Yu naturally understood his concern, and immediately said, "Don't worry, it's not much, just a few drops of blood." But Xiao Ying must follow us to the scene of the incident. That's how I can see the clues. ”

"Okay, no problem, Ancestor, let's go now without further ado." Tang Ying replied first.

After speaking, she also gently pulled the corner of Lu Zhan's clothes, although she did not speak, the meaning she wanted to express was very clear.

In the end, Lu Zhan could only swallow back what he wanted to say.

After coming to the place of the incident, Tang Ying was mentally prepared. But looking at the blood stains all over the ground, she still instinctively wanted to gag.

Lu Zhan, seeing this, patted her back and whispered, "But why is it uncomfortable?" Don't be reckless. ”

Tang Ying shook her head and looked at Chu Yu with a solemn face. finally shook his head, "Lord Wang, I'm fine." ”

Then Tang Ying walked towards Chu Yu, "Old Ancestor, I'm ready, you can start taking blood." ”

Chu Yu glanced at her pale face. also knew that she was really uncomfortable, and she could take blood if she didn't have it. Instead, he took out a pill and said, "You'll be more comfortable eating this." ”

After Tang Ying took the pill, Chu Yu used his hand as a knife to gently cut Tang Ying's fingers.

Then the white jade finger wound dripped blood beads along the wound.

It's not much, there are only four or five drops of blood in total, but as far as Lu Zhan is concerned, it is undoubtedly a cut in his heart. I saw that he immediately frowned, and then quickly bandaged Tang Ying properly.

A series of actions can be described as done in one go, which made Tang Ying's embarrassed face slightly red and said, "Lord Wang, I'm fine." And there is no blood anymore. ”

Have you ever seen anyone who has cut a little bit and bandaged it like a broken bone?

Tang Ying has seen it, right now.

Lu Zhan disagreed, "You are in a special period now, be careful." ”

At the same moment, a strange voice came from the guards led by He Jun. Lu Zhan and Tang Ying followed the prestige, and saw the place where Tang Ying's blood was dripping just now.

A strange change was noticed, and the whole piece began to crack, and the dirt on the ground turned an eerie purple color.

It's like ......

"Purple pupils, this is the same as the last time we saw purple pupils." He Jun was the first to exclaim.

Lu Zhan and Tang Ying also noticed that something was wrong, but neither of them spoke. Instead, he tacitly set his eyes on Chu Yu.

Although Chu Yu had already guessed before, conjecture and true proof were two different things.

Looking at Chu Yu's eyes full of grief, the corners of Tang Ying's mouth moved slightly: "Old Ancestor, can you roughly tell that they fled in that direction?" ”

Jinling said that it is not big, and it is not small when it is small.

And if it's really like what Chu Yu said, you have to make a puppet. I'm afraid that the other party will seize all the time, and there is really not much time left for them.

Chu Yu shook his head, "For now, I don't have a way to conclude. But making a puppet has very high environmental requirements. So they should still be in Jinling City. But ......"

As for where he was hiding, Chu Yu really didn't know.

"Old Ancestor, Da Sima has sent someone to the palace to ask for an order. When the holy decree comes, we will divide our troops into several routes, and search day and night, I believe that we will find clues. It's just that the ancestor can provide any clues? Lu Zhan frowned when he heard this.

If it is changed to other cities, it has high environmental requirements, which is a good exclusion condition.

But Jinling City, the capital of Gyeonggi at the foot of the Son of Heaven, not to mention the residence of officials in the DPRK and China. It is the mansion of an ordinary businessman, which can meet the good environment in Chu Yu's mouth.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Yes, yes, it's just ......" Halfway through the words, Chu Yu set his eyes on Tang Ying.

Chu Yu originally hoped that everyone, especially Lu Zhan, would understand. Therefore, his eyes were very straightforward, and it didn't take long for Lu Zhan to understand. It's just that he didn't promise good or bad.

Instead, he tightly protected the villain in front of him, his long eyelashes trembled, and his fingers flexed tightly.

Tang Ying was unwilling to break free from his embrace, "Old Ancestor, you said, as long as I can help, I will be willing." ”

After speaking, seeing that Chu Yu didn't agree to her, Tang Ying said again, "Lord Wang, he is the first time to be a father, and he will inevitably be too nervous. Please don't be surprised by the ancestors. ”

Chu Yu was still silent, but He Jun suddenly said: "Old ancestor, the princess is weak. If you can, your subordinates are willing to do it for you. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhan suddenly felt bad.

Sure enough, Tang Ying immediately raised her head and looked at Lu Zhan in amazement.

"Hejun, don't be rude." Lu Zhan had to explain, "Ancestor, as Ah Ying said, I am indeed very nervous about her and the child. But if it is a reasonable request, the ancestor can put it forward. ”

Originally, Lu Zhan didn't want to let go, but He Jun said so.

If he didn't let go, Tang Ying would be suspicious.

But in this way, Tang Ying will not doubt it?

It doesn't seem to be.

"Lord Wang, I think you should explain to me why even He Jun is so nervous?" Facing Lu Zhan, Tang Ying did not go around in circles, but directly said what she thought in her heart.

When Lu Zhan heard this, the waves crashed on the shore in his heart, but his face was not obvious: "Ah Ying, I have already answered this question last time......

Just as Lu Zhan spoke, a dark shadow disappeared in the distance.

He was standing too far away, and Lu Zhan and the others were not thinking about it. So he didn't notice it until he left.

And as soon as the shadow left, he rode his horse and galloped into the city.

It wasn't until I reached the gold shop in the south of the city that I stopped, and hurried in through the back door......

"Shopkeeper, everything is as you expected, Princess Xu is indeed pregnant." The man in black, while reporting the situation, quickly removed his black clothes.

When the black clothes faded, a clean and young face was revealed. And the owner of this face is not someone else, it is the second shop of this gold shop.

"Very good, then Chu Yu has a clue?" The man holding the white jade folding fan asked.

Shopkeeper shook his head, "Not for the time being, but it is said that clues can be found through Princess Xu." But King Xu and the others were obviously unwilling. ”

But what the final result was, the shopkeeper didn't hear it.

"It's okay, isn't there someone else guarding it?" The person holding the white jade folding fan seemed to be very satisfied with the current answer, and said with a smile, "You will go and see again tonight, if they are still hesitant." Then you can help them, after all, this fire can't be burned without adding some firewood. ”

"Yes, shopkeeper." The shopkeeper immediately answered.

As for what method to use, it seems that he already knows what to do.
