Liu Xin'er raised her head suddenly when she heard this familiar voice that haunted her dreams, wasn't the white young man on the horse her fiancé?

"You... Why are you here? Liu Xin'er's face was forcibly calm, and there was already a choked voice in her voice.

"Xin'er, I followed the prince on a southern tour, and now the prince and Princess Zhuen are watching the scenery in the city tower, I came back to pick up things, and now I have to go to the prince's side." The young man dismounted and touched her wrist with his fingertips, then took off the cloak behind him and put it on her: "Although the south is not as cold as the north, it is also wet and cold at night. ”

"Ah Yan..."Liu Xin'er's tears burst out of her eyes, and she was crying in Duan Yan's arms, and Duan Yan, who saw it, was distressed, and hurriedly asked what was wrong.

The fear and burden that Liu Xin'er experienced this night were heavier than those of the previous ten years, and no one forgot that she was still a little girl who had just reached the end of her life, and now that she has her own people to confide in, the original depression and grievances have all broken down.

After crying for a while, she immediately wiped away her tears, rubbed her red and swollen eyelids, and forced herself to keep herself calm: "Ah Yan, now is not the time to speak, the Lord of Ruliang is in distress, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, take me to see Lord Ying, quickly!" ”

When Duan Yan heard her say this, he didn't have time to ask in detail, so he picked up Liu Xin'er with one hand and flew on the horse, and the two of them galloped towards the city tower.

The tower is thirty feet high, and from the highest point, you can see the brilliant sparkling lights inside the city and the lonely darkness outside the city, which is extremely spectacular in contrast.

King Lu Gui was wearing a pure black cloak at this time, standing in front of the railing like a green pine on his back, holding Princess Zhuen's shoulder on his right hand, Zhuen's head was slightly leaning on his shoulder, and his long curly golden hair covered his arms and half of his body like starlight.

Although the two of them have known each other for a short time, they get along quite harmoniously, and gradually begin to get along like ordinary lovers. It is not difficult to communicate with talented women and similar identities and backgrounds.

Zhu En looked up at Lu Gui's delicate and easy-going face slightly sideways, thinking secretly in her heart, sometimes she always felt that Lu Gui looked at her like someone else, especially when eating, but this feeling was not strong, so even if she was confused, she didn't know how to ask, most of the time Lu Gui took care of her meticulously and thoughtfully, and his tenderness to her was also meticulous.

"Report, Lord Wang, there is a personal guard downstairs who brought a woman, saying that the prince of the capital knows him, and there are 100,000 urgent things to report, does the prince want to see him?" On the narrow staircase, a stiff-eyed captain of the guard walked up quickly, his armor making a crisp metal crash.

"Beijing? Let him come up. Lu Gui turned his head a little surprised, he really didn't expect the old people in the capital to come here to ask for him, let alone who came, but he already had some bad premonitions in his heart, and his heart ached faintly, and his brows were furrowed and he didn't let go.

Zhu En wore a white gauze dress embroidered with gold patterns today, and her fluttering sleeves hung down behind her, she keenly noticed that the big hand that the king had originally caressed her shoulder had already held her sleeve at some point, and her joints were a little white, and she seemed to be in a hurry, she quietly held his hand, and her fingertips were scrubbed to comfort him.

The captain of the guard slammed down the stairs, and in a moment he heard him come back with someone. Lu Gui had already turned around at this time, watching the two figures slowly walk up the steep steps, like two mysteries emerging from the water inch by inch, this feeling is really bad, eager to know, and inevitably avoiding it.

"Xin'er? How did you get to Ruliang? "Lu Gui was really surprised to see Liu Xin'er, could it be that it was a person who had an accident today? Mo not...

Liu Xin'er's eyes are not much swollen and peaches, Duan Yan is distressed on her face, since he met Liu Xin'er, she has always been a hot character, even if her life is not satisfactory, she has never shown half a point, let alone such a crying pear blossom with rain.

"I've seen the King of England, I've seen Princess Zhuen, and I beg the King of England to send troops to save us." Liu Xin'er broke away from Duan Yan's hand and knelt straight towards King Ying, her back still straight: "I'll make a long story short, we all came all the way to the south, and there was an accident in the nearby Gaoyuan County, and someone plotted to injure Fang Cannon and Uncle Hua, and Mianmian was kidnapped by someone in collusion with the county government, and now I don't know whether I am alive or dead, Sister Xinyue and Brother Mu went separately to save people, and sent me to Ruliang with the rest of the people to ask for help." ”

"What? Mianmian was taken away by the people of the county government? Xin'er, you get up first, don't worry. Lu Gui didn't care that Zhu En was still by his side, and even Zhu En's hand was subconsciously red by his hand. He turned abruptly and shouted, "County Guard! Where is the Ruliang County Guard? ”

Hearing Lu Guifa's big temper, the cold hairs behind the Ruliang County Guard, who was originally waiting downstairs, stood up, and he also thought that he would serve this lord well, and he could give himself a few good words in the court and be transferred back to Beijing. Now that the prince has something to do, it is still urgent, and he can't care about anything else, so he runs upstairs with a hard head.

"See the prince, the next official Ruliang County is on standby." The county guard crawled in front of the king of England, knelt down tremblingly and saluted, he couldn't feel the temper of this lord, and he didn't dare to come out.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Ruliang City now? Immediately send someone to gather as quickly as possible, directly surround Gaoyuan County, and Duan Yan went to gather the king's personal guards, follow this king to attack Gaoyuan County, let them hand over the people, and give us an explanation. Lu Gui quickly arranged the matter.

"It's... Without the emperor's talisman and handwritten edict, the lower officials really did not dare to transfer troops easily. The sweat beads on the county guard's head were pouring out, and he wiped his sleeve with a trembling and lowered his head a little worriedly.

"The incident happened suddenly, how can you afford to wait to go to the capital to ask for a will? Besides, do you know who you want to save today, that is the county lord of Ruliang, the whole Ruliang is hers, and now you refuse to send troops for her? There was a hint of ferocity in the king's eyes, and if the county guard did not obey the order to send troops, he would probably take an immoral approach.

"His Majesty the Emperor is quite fond of the county lord of Ruliang, Gaoyuan County is also the boundary of Ruliang, the county lord of a country was taken away by officials in his own territory, if the county lord has an accident because of this delay, the emperor is angry and investigates, the first thing to hand over is the black gauze hat of your Ruliang county guard, and the head of the neck." Zhu En on the side actually spoke for Ruan Mianmian, and the King of England looked at her with some surprise, and she nodded with a gentle look in return.

Princess Zhuen's coercion and temptation also played a role, that Ruliang County Shouyi is to love the right and the other is to spare his life, at this moment, as soon as he heard that he was going to save the Lord of Ruliang, he didn't care about the rules and procedures, and immediately got up and went to Zhang Luo's officer to urgently transfer troops, and for a time the officials and soldiers of the entire Ruliang City were assembled, and the streets of all sizes were neatly dressed ironclad soldiers, and the people closed their doors and turned off the lights, hiding at home and not daring to come out.

Lu Gui instructed Duan Yan to take Liu Xin'er to arrange for the rest of Yipinxiang to live in the county guard mansion first, after the two of them went downstairs, only Lu Gui and Zhu En stood opposite each other, Lu Gui opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say, both of them were a little embarrassed.

"Lu Gui, why are you suddenly so twisted?" Zhu En pretended not to care, and pouted at him, but his eyes were still flickering.

"Joon... I've always felt that you don't have a good impression of them, and I'm surprised that you helped her speak today. Lu Gui wiped his hair unnaturally.

"What kind of person do you think of me, my Zhuen has always been above board, as for who you have in your heart, I don't care, as long as I have a position, and because the relationship between the two countries occupies the position of a concubine, I am quite embarrassed, if you are really interested in this Ruan girl, I will never object to you taking a side concubine." Joon shook his head and looked at the assembled army downstairs.

"What do you say, I'm very happy that you are willing to do this for me, it's just that King Xiang has intentions, the goddess has no dreams, haven't you found that she has a very good friendship with Yipinxiang's Fang Cannon, and I just need to protect her safety in such a place, and I can't have other ideas. In short, since I marry you in this life, I will never disappoint you and accept others again. Lu Gui always had a smile in his eyes, but at the moment there was a deep sense of loneliness and helplessness.

"Oh? She is the county lord of Ruliang, and Fang Dacang is just a civilian, so she doesn't feel that her identity is different. When Zhu En heard this, his heart was much more relaxed for some reason, as if he had untied a faintly painful knot in his heart by mistake.

"This is also her preciousness, supreme purity, transparency and simplicity." Lu Gui slowly recited this sentence as if he was reciting a poem, and behind him was the sonorous shouts of thousands of soldiers lined up. The yellow-green head of a small turtle protruded from Lu Gui's sleeve, and its two bright eyes turned a few times.

Within an hour, except for the soldiers who were to be on duty in Ruliang County, the other soldiers gathered in front of the Ruliang City Gate and were ready to go.

Lu Gui himself and Zhu En rode two horses to run in front first, followed by a team of guards he brought out this time, a total of twenty or thirty people galloped on the official road and rushed towards Gaoyuan City. This time, their plan is very clear, it is best to control all the rebels in Gaoyuan and rescue Ruan Mianmian, if they still haven't found it, then the siege outside has also been laid out, and they will not let these wicked people escape from the city and catch turtles in an urn.

The seven or eight thousand soldiers gathered here by the Ruliang County guard also marched towards Gaoyuan County after Lu returned, and it was already late at night, and it was estimated that the entire Gaoyuan County would be quietly surrounded after dawn. The command of these soldiers was not handed over to the local garrison officials, but was held by Duan Yan, who sent Liu Xin'er back, and his own people were always safer in the rear.
