Hearing this, Lin Ruo and Murong Chong were both surprised.

"You mean, the Xuanjia Army was recruited by Miri?"

"Yes."

It seems that Miri is in the heart of a ruin.

"Then now, what is the situation in the Northern Affair Royal Court?"

Xu Zhan glanced at Lin Ruo again, and then said, "My subordinates can't hear the news." However, Leng Escort said that the Beiqi royal court is now guarded by the Xuanjia Army, and the Beiqi people are not allowed to enter and leave at will, which is like house arrest. In the entire Beiqi tribe, there are less than 100 people left, most of them are old and weak, women and slaves, and they have ...... It's completely gone. ”

"Miri is still alive?"

"Yes, alive. However, I heard that the injury was very serious. ”

"What about Midu?"

At the mention of Midu, Murong Chong's eyes narrowed, and his eyes suddenly sank.

Xu Zhan smiled: "Speaking of this, it's a coincidence!" Lord Wang, how did you know that this guy would definitely flee in the northwest direction? Not long after we laid the ambush, this guy crashed into the trap we had dug! ”

This time, it was Murong Chong's gaze that turned to Lin Ruo.

Xu Zhan was stunned, could this also have something to do with Princess Rong?

Murong Chong tugged at the corners of his mouth, it's true! However, the person who has the ability to have this unpredictable prophet is not Lin Ruo, but Midu's sworn enemy and Miri's most trusted Mr. Li.

"Where are the people?"

Xu Zhan's smile froze on his face, and his gaze looked at Lin Ruo again.

Lin Ruo was confused, and Murong Chong didn't know what was going on, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Zhan scratched his head and said hesitantly: "People...... Let the cold guard ...... Snatched ......"

Lin Ruo was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Ah Shu robbed it?" Why? ”

Xu Zhan took out a carved wooden pony from his arms, handed it to Murong Chong, and explained: "Leng Guard is a person who follows a scholar appearance, and Leng Guard calls him 'Mr. Li'. It was Mr. Li who asked the Leng guards to take Midu away, and left this thing, saying that it would be enough to give this to Princess Rong. ”

As he spoke, Xu Zhan still had some anger on his face, he didn't want to hand over Midu in the first place, but the people under Mr. Li were too powerful, including Leng Guard, but there were only more than ten people. And Xu Zhan's subordinates, there are more than 100 soldiers, all of whom are experienced in a hundred battles and have good skills, but they still can't stop it.

The other party obviously looked at Princess Rong's face and did not kill him, but this situation made them lose face even more.

Murong Chong took the woodcarved pony and handed it to Lin Ruo suspiciously.

The little wooden horse is a few years old, and although it has not been glazed, the wooden spikes on it are polished smoothly and do not prick hands at all. It's just that the little wooden horse seems to have been dropped many times, and there are many pitted scratches on the surface, and the place near the horse's buttocks is not known to be stained, and the color is black.

Lin Ruo's expression became solemn, and the hand holding the little wooden horse gradually trembled because of the force.

"Ah Ruo, what's wrong?"

Murong Chong shook Lin Ruo's hand and asked uneasily.

But Lin Ruo didn't react, and it wasn't until Murong Chong repeated the question twice that Lin Ruo came back to his senses, looked into Murong Chong's eyes, and slowly spit out two words: "Sorry ......"

Murong Chong was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand the meaning of the two words Lin Ruo said for a while, and when he heard her muttering "Li Xien" again, he understood what was going on.

"Mr. Lai's eldest son?"

Lin Ruo nodded, did not speak again, his eyes were unconsciously red, with deep remorse and guilt, and also with a trace of hatred.

"It turned out to be him!"

Gritting his teeth and saying something brainless, Xu Zhan was confused, but Murong Chong understood.

Lin Ruo told him what happened to Li Xien, who was only four years old when he followed his mother and grandmother to Beiqi to reunite with Li Yan, but he didn't expect to suffer a tragic disaster. Although the young Li Xien survived by luck, she was too frightened and became stupid.

The little wooden horse that Li Yan asked Xu Zhan to bring was a child's plaything, and it should belong to Li Xien. And the blood stains on the little Trojan's buttocks and the scratches on his body were probably left at that time.

So, Midu is also Li Yan's enemy?!

Murong Chong's gaze deepened.

There is also a deep hatred between him and Midu, and Murong Chong understands what Li Yan thinks very well.

He knew that if Midu fell into the hands of Li Yan, he would inevitably not benefit from anything, but he still didn't want to leave himself with the regret of not being able to slash the enemy.

"Xu Zhan, do you know their whereabouts?"

"My subordinates don't know." Xu Zhan was embarrassed again, "After they took Midu away that day, their subordinates sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of Leng Wei and that Mr. Li, but they found nothing......

Lin Ruo was silent for a long time and asked, "Vice General Xu, which way did you come back?" ”

Xu Zhan glanced at Murong Chong, and when he saw him bowing his head, he replied to Lin Ruo: "Princess Hui, my subordinates brought more than 100 soldiers, in order not to alarm the country, so they bypassed the border town and returned along the deserted trail in the southwest. ”

Lin Ruo's mind roughly came up with the route that Xu Zhan took, and it would not deviate too much from the route of Song Huanchu and his party to enter the Northern Covenant, and the time it would take would not be too different.

"Then when did you meet them?"

"Three days ago, the day we arrested Midu, the cold guards directly snatched people away." Xu Zhan thought for a moment and added, "We spent an extra half a day searching for their whereabouts. ”

Seeing that Lin Ruo was thoughtful, Murong Chong opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know their route?" ”

Lin Ruo shook his head: "I don't know." However, as long as they don't go back to Zeguo by water, the time will not be too bad. Since Vice General Xu has returned, then Brother Li and Ah Shu should also be there soon. There was a letter left in the inn, and in addition, I gave the jade plate given to me by the emperor to Ah Shu, if I came to the northern camp, someone should come to report...... Right? ”

The final affirmation inexplicably turned into a puzzled tone, probably because He Yan, the general of the Northern Army, looked at her more and more unpleasantly.

Facing Lin Ruo's hesitant look, Murong Chong squeezed her hand as if relieved, and said to Xu Zhan: "You go and make arrangements, if there is news, you must notify me as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, lord."

Xu Zhan clenched his fists and retreated, and before leaving, he secretly glanced at the hands held by Murong Chong and Lin Ruo. After retreating, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his mood was inexplicably relieved: It seems that the fourth prince finally put down the girl who bent the rhyme.

Thinking back to the appearance of Princess Rong just now, Xu Zhan felt a little more good in his heart.

Originally, Xu Zhan didn't think that this businesswoman with the title of county lord was worthy of King Rong, but the identity of the woman in the rivers and lakes with the bend of the rhyme was half a catty. Moreover, judging from the fact that he invited himself to leave the Gu Mansion, changed his surname, and even asked the emperor to draw a line between his deceased mother and deceased sister and the Gu family, he had a bad impression of the "unfilial daughter" in the mouth of the people.

However, over the years, this Minhui county lord doesn't seem to have done anything out of the ordinary, but because of his modesty and grace, he is loved by the Queen Mother, Emperor Mingzong, Concubine Xian Niangniang and the princesses.
