Hearing this, Su Zong stared at Shen Pearl for a moment, and said, "You can think clearly-you are the lady of Zhenguo who is my own seal, if he-" With a wave of his long sleeves, he pointed at Li Jiao, "If the evidence of his crime is conclusive, you don't have to be punished with him in the name of Mrs. Zhenguo!" ”

Shen Pearl didn't think about it, and was about to reply, "I have thought it clearly", Li Jiao had already shouted in a low voice: "Pearl! Shen Pearl looked back and raised her eyes, when she stepped forward and knelt in front of Su Zong, this time, she saw the expression of Li Jiao standing behind her clearly. But seeing that his expression seemed to be hesitant and uneasy, his face was uncertain, and he knew that there must be a variety of thoughts in his heart, which were complicated and difficult to understand, and only a person like Shen Pearl who knew him could realize the subtle changes in his expression. Shen Pearl said in his heart, no matter what kind of calculations he makes, in this life, I will finally have to rely on him, calm my mind, and whispered to Li Li: "Your Highness, have you ever heard of this poem written by the people of the time-Ning Tong Ten Thousand Deaths and Broken Wings......"

Li Li was obviously greatly moved, and only thought about the next sentence-

Ning Tong died and shattered his wings, and couldn't bear to split the clouds in two.

Su Zong sighed: "Yu'er, you are really a blessed person! Even Li Mi and Zhang Shufei were slightly moved. said to Shen Zhu: "Okay, if you have any words to defend him, I will come one by one!" ”

Shen Pearl showed a slight smile at this time, and replied calmly: "Father, with what the sons and daughters have seen, any excuse is not worth letting Xue Song confront His Highness, what His Highness has not done, he can naturally see black and white immediately!" ”

Su Zong "snorted" and said: "It's this argument again, Xue Song has been robbed, what else can I do?" After a pause, a suspicious look appeared on his face. Shen Pearl knew that he was suspicious again, thinking that Li Jiao had instructed him, and hurriedly said: "Father, this Xue Song is definitely not robbed by His Royal Highness!" ”

Su Zong said: "How can you see it! ”

"The father can analyze it from two sides, and he knows that His Royal Highness will never rob Xue Song. First, if His Royal Highness really did what Xue Song pointed out and was afraid that Xue Song would come to confront him and reveal the truth and send someone to rob the prison, with the martial arts of the woman in red, Xue Song could be killed immediately, so why bother to rob him? Second, if His Royal Highness didn't do what Xue Song pointed out, he would only hope that Xue Song would come to confront him and make it clear, let alone rob him! "In fact, this is a very clear truth, but Su Zong was hindered by his own suspicions, and he couldn't think of this layer for a while.

Shen Zhuzhu's explanation, Li Mi also said yes again and again.

Su Zong was very obedient to Li Mi, and when he saw Li Mi like this, he said slowly: "Although what you said is reasonable, it can only prove that Xue Song was not robbed by this unscrupulous son, and it failed to remove the suspicion that he did something rebellious!" ”

Shen Pearl had expected that Su Zong would say this, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "I ask my father to issue an edict quickly, and the quasi-sons will immediately leave the palace to arrest Xue Song." ”

"You?" Concubine Zhang Shufei interjected with a smile, as if she was softly persuading, "Pearl, you are in a hurry, right now, Dali Prison and Jingqi have sent more than 1,000 people to detain Xue Song, and they have not heard back, you delicate daughter, how can you detain people!" ”

Shen Pearl was anxious in her heart, thinking that Xue Hong had robbed Xue Song for a while, and she didn't know where she had gone now, if she hadn't found it earlier, it would be too late to get out of Chang'an City, but she didn't dare to show her anxiety easily, she bit her silver teeth and said in a broken voice: "Father, if Pearl can't detain Xue Song within three days, I am willing to receive any punishment, although I have no regrets about death!" "If you can't find Xue Song within three days, you must have escaped from Chang'an City, and everything will be over!

As soon as he stepped out of the Jianfu Gate, Yan Ming had already received the news and was waiting for Shen Pearl outside the gate of this palace. Shen Zhuzhu's expression was solemn, although Su Zong agreed to her request to detain Xue Song, but the power she could rely on in the Ming place was only Yan Ming and the attendants of Shujing Palace, although she knew that it was Xue Hongxian's doing, but where was the Yiren, she was not sure at all, but if she didn't go out, she would have no luck in finding Dali Prison and others without a clue.

"I have already inquired," Yan Ming stepped forward and whispered, "Since the robbery of the prison, all the city gates in the city have been closed immediately, the city gate is more than nine zhang high, and the garrison is heavily guarded, the prison robber is the Da Luo Immortal who wants to jump through the city gate, although the city guards can't catch it, but there is no reason why they will not be discovered!" ”

"This means that the robbers have not left Chang'an City yet?" Shen Pearl was slightly happy.

"The whole city is going door-to-door to search, but there is no news yet." Yan Ming nodded.

"Door-to-door search," Shen Pearl thought slowly, and walked to a horse in front of him, although this is the stupidest method, looking for two people in Chang'an City, where there are hundreds of thousands of households, is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, however, this also seems to be the most effective method at present.

Where is Xue Hong now? She shouldn't have any relatives in Chang'an, she only knows herself and Zhang Hanruo. Will she be at this point?

With this thought, as soon as Shen Pearl tightened the reins, he wanted to admit and get on the horse. Yan Ming grabbed the bridle in a panic: "Princess, I have prepared a carriage for you!" Shen Pearl said: "No need! He turned the horse's head and ran towards Zhang Hanruo's residence.

Zhang Hanruo's residence was the prince's palace back then, and it was Suzong who rewarded her for her merits and rewarded her with great intentions. The snow was very thick on this road, the cold wind was blowing while riding a horse, the horse's hooves were bursting with snow and flying in all directions, and the whole body was freezing and numb, Shen Pearl was so anxious that he couldn't reach it in one step or two steps.

Finally arrived at the prince's garden, only to see the lanterns at the gate of the mansion shining, a bright light, but solemn and silent, not like some rich princes and princes of the palace of the sheng songs, the sound of the warbler, think that Zhang Hanruo is a woman, but also a general with troops, although deeply favored by the emperor, after all, it is different.

Yan Ming dismounted and personally stepped forward to knock on the door. Hearing that Princess Guangping was visiting, he hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, and said apologetically: "The eldest lady is still in the military camp in the western suburbs and has not returned home." Shen Pearl heard that his accent was quite Youzhou Tuyin, and he called Zhang Hanruo different, so he chatted with him casually, and sure enough, this old man was Zhang's housekeeper for many years, and he watched Zhang Hanruo grow up since he was a child. Shen Pearl asked again: "Then has Miss Xue been here in the past few days?" ”

The old man replied: "I have come here, Miss Xue and my young lady have always been very good, and they have been living in the mansion for the past few days. ”

Shen Pearl was overjoyed: "Where is Miss Xue now?" ”

The old man said: "At noon today, she specially resigned from her husband and has already left. ”

This is just like falling straight down from the clouds, Yan Ming was in a hurry, and scolded: "Old guy, you are deliberately playing with us!" ”

The old man waved his hand again and again, frightened: "The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave doesn't dare!" ”

Shen Zhuxiu's eyes raised slightly, stopped Yan Ming's scolding, comforted the old man with good words, and said goodbye and rode back.

Yan Ming followed and said in a low voice: "Princess, do you really believe the old man's words? ”

Shen Pearl smiled: "You don't believe it, didn't you quietly deploy people and horses and order them to inspect the people entering and leaving the prince's garden?" ”

Yan Ming was a little embarrassed: "It turns out that the princess has seen it." ”

Shen Pearl slowed down his horse and thought thoughtfully, "I think Xue Hongxian and Xue Song may not be in Zhang Hanruo's mansion, but it's just strange - since Zhang Hanruo is not in the mansion, why is the mansion full of lights?" ”

Yan Ming didn't have a clue, scratched his head and said: "Yan is stupid and can't think of a reason." ”

Shen Pearl felt that Yan Ming was upright and cute, smiled slightly, and was about to say something of relief, but suddenly his eyes were full of stars, and he was dizzy, and the horse seemed to have been inducted, and he neighed for no reason, and the horse's head jumped!

Yan Ming was shocked, seeing that Shen Pearl was unable to hold the reins, he shouted, jumped up from the horse he was riding, and rushed straight towards Shen Zhu's horse. But it was too late, and the black shadow in front of him flickered, and there was a person who rushed ahead of him, and the broad horse golden knife stood like a rock, holding the reins with one hand, and supporting Shen Zhu's body with the other.

Shen Pearl was weak for a while, but it was restored in an instant, and when she saw that the person who had been rescued was masked, only her eyes were exposed. She was too familiar with this person, and said happily, "It's you." ”

The person who came loosened his hands, clasped his fists and stepped forward and whispered, "Feng Shengyi has offended the princess." ”

Shen Pearl breathed a long sigh of relief and said softly: "It's good to have you here." Remembering the misunderstanding I had about him before, I was even more ashamed.

Feng Shengyi lowered his head slightly, did not look at Shen Zhuzhu, and only said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, princess, no matter where she lives, this life and this life are already tied to His Royal Highness...... With the princess. ”

Led by Feng Shengyi, Shen Pearl and Yan Ming only took a few of Li Li's henchmen and attendants, bypassed several streets and alleys, and arrived at a small courtyard that was deserted.

Feng Shengyi stripped off the candle flame and said: "This is placed by His Highness, and we will discuss with His Highness, and we are always here." Today, I had to ask the princess to be wronged, and discuss the robbery of Xue Song together. ”

Time was pressing, Shen Pearl didn't say much polite words, and after a while, Chen Zhou also arrived here, and the four of them discussed it at the moment.

Shen Pearl first revealed all the doubts he knew, spread out the map of Chang'an City, and analyzed Xue Hongxian's hiding place with everyone, but at this time, Fang knew that the most distressing place was not where Xue Hongxian was hiding, but how to arrest Xue Song if he knew where he was - Xue Hongxian's martial arts were so high that it was really incredible. Feng Shengyi sweated profusely, pacing back and forth: "How is this good, how is this good!" ”

Chen Zhou paused for a moment and scolded: "Damn, such a strange thing happened, His Royal Highness's move is really ——"

Shen Pearl was stunned, and felt that Chen Zhou's words were a little strange, when he heard the crisp sound of "nails", the silver light in Feng Shengyi's hand suddenly appeared, piercing through the roof tiles, and he whispered "what person" in his mouth, and the person had leapt out of the window with dexterity like an ape, and suddenly the sound of roof blades was loud.

Shen Zhu, Chen Zhou, and Yan Ming rushed into the courtyard. On the roof, Feng Shengyi is fighting with a person. Feng Shengyi was dressed in a dark robe, and the people who fought with him were all plain white and covered with white gauze. Both of them held long swords, churning and fighting, one black and one white, like a charm, wearing the wrong place between the silver and the world, don't add a little weird.

Yan Ming watched from the sidelines at first, but when he saw that Feng Shengyi hadn't taken down the man for nearly a stick of incense, he couldn't hold it back, slapped the long sword on his waist, and said, "I'll help him!" ”

Chen Zhou grabbed his arm like lightning, still staring at the two of them fighting, and said, "Wait, it's a little weird—you see, the moves of the two of them—"

Yan Ming snorted impatiently, so he had to stand still and look at it again, and after a while, he really saw the clue: the man in white made moves as fast as an electric switch, and his moves were straight to the key points of Fengshengyi, and he was definitely a first-class master in martial arts. However, the strange thing is that the moves used by Feng Shengyi to restrain are exactly the same as the moves used by the man in white, except that the moves used by Feng Shengyi are always half a beat slower than those of the man in white. However, it was this calm and leisurely "slow half-beat" that restrained the attack of the man in white every time without hurry, and he was all invincible. Chen Zhou muttered: "Strange, strange, this surnamed Feng can win at any time, but he never kills, and lets others everywhere, it's really strange!" ”

Shen Pearl asked, "Isn't this woman's martial arts as good as Lord Feng?" ”

Chen Zhou was inexplicable: "What did the princess say?" You said...... Is the man in white a woman? ”

Shen Pearl said: "Although I don't know martial arts, this white-clothed person is soft and slender, not a woman, can he still be a man?" "If you want to identify men and women, martial artists like Chen Zhou naturally can't be compared with Shen Zhu.

While speaking, Feng Shengyi and the man in white jumped from the roof to the courtyard one after another, the man in white thought that he had been fighting for a long time, and suddenly made a coquettish sound, and the long sword pulled wildly, and in an instant, he rolled up a thousand layers of sword flowers, and threw himself into the rain of ten thousand swords, like a sharp sword, attacking Feng Shengyi with all his might! Chen Zhou changed color: "It's not good, I'm afraid that woman is going to fight hard!" ”

Feng Shengyi didn't move, but his expression was more solemn, and when the sword qi was overwhelming, he finally raised his sword to make a move. With Chen Zhouzhi's ability, he didn't see clearly how the sword of Fengshengyi came out and how it stopped. only listened to the sound of the "bang" of the scarf cracking, the sword qi scattered, and everything came to an abrupt end.

The man in white was less than five steps away from Feng Shengyi, and the gauze scarf on his face was torn apart from the middle, like a floating cloud, and flew away with the scattered sword qi, revealing her delicate face, and her long black jade hair poured down, flying around in the cold wind, and in an instant, there was the beauty of leaving the world independent. Her face was as white as jade, and the pathos in her tone could not be hidden: "Fifteen years, I can't win you once after all!" ”

Feng Shengyi returned the sword into the sheath, and slowly sent out a long sigh, in this breezy and moonlit night, the four sides of the world seemed to be able to hear this helplessness: "Senior sister, losing and winning, is it so important?" ”

Yan Ming shouted: "He Lingyi, why are you!" He rushed to the wind and said, "Brother, what's going on, when will she become your junior sister again?" ”

The woman in white is indeed He Lingyi, the female official in charge of Shujing Palace.

He Lingyi turned his head and only smiled at Yan Ming, who was suddenly choked and speechless. He really didn't expect that He Lingyi, who is usually well-behaved and gentle, could also have such a smile of cutting ice and cutting jade.

Feng Shengyi slowly exhaled: "I didn't guess wrong, it was you who assassinated Your Highness in the Great Tribulation that day. I saw you in Shujing Palace, and I have been wondering, it turns out that ......"

He Lingyi sneered: "What's strange! You can serve the king of Guangping, why can't I serve the lady concubine? Let's see whose master can win in the end! As he spoke, his hand was raised, and the crystal light was like a rainbow in the sky, which was a special firework for people to escape. The distance between the two was too close, Feng Shengyi hesitated slightly, and finally came back to his senses in a ten-thousandth of an instant, and clasped her wrist: "Senior sister, you can't go." You can't make mistakes again and again! ”

In this smoke and mist, He Lingyi's expression was not clear, her wrist was buckled, and she slid it away gently, she said: "I must win you!" "People have gone far.

Feng Shengyi said gloomily to Shen Zhuzhu: "Princess, everything is Feng's fault, and I am willing to accept the punishment." He and He Lingyi grew up together since childhood, and they became more and more in love with their biological brothers and sisters, and the two of them were very competitive. And he knew that He Lingyi was bent on overcoming him, but he refused to make a slight concession to make her happy half a time, and finally got his own masters and different paths in life.

Shen Pearl never thought that Feng Shengyi and He Lingyi turned out to be the same brother and sister, listening to the conversation between the two, it can be vaguely speculated that He Lingyi was eager to win Feng Shengyi, and did not hesitate to join Zhang Shufei, and then sneaked by her side, she has been very suspicious of He Lingyi since she silently sipped the letter, and now it has been confirmed, it must be her secret to Dugu Jing! sighed in his heart, and said: "Don't blame yourself, in fact, my sister is good-natured, although I have a plan by my side during this time, it has really helped me a lot." Besides, she hasn't caused any consequences yet, aren't your Highness and I all doing well? It's not too late to get lost, if you have the time, you can persuade her well. ”

Feng Shengyi sighed: "My junior sister, if she could listen to my persuasion, she would not be where she is today." Today, we are secretly researching, I don't know how many times she has heard about it, Feng is really a capital crime! ”

Shen Pearl said: "No matter how much you hear it, it won't be as good as if we found Xue Song in time." At the moment, we can only rely on the help of three people. The four of them brought up the topic again, very distressed.

Shen Zhu's heart moved, and said, "I have a clumsy method, I don't know if it's feasible?" Today we visited Zhang Hanruo's house, see that there is no Zhang Hanruo in the house, but the lights are bright, I left casually asked the old man who guarded the door why, the old man replied that it is the custom of Zhang's house. ”

Yan Ming said: "The princess doesn't listen to that old guy's nonsense, there is such a custom, there is obviously a problem." ”

Shen Pearl smiled lightly: "At first, I thought the same as you. But just now, I suddenly recalled the same old thing as Zhang Shouqi, and I realized that what the old man said was not nonsense. In the past, Zhang Shouqi was the assassin of Youzhou, and he encountered an invasion of 50,000 Turkic troops. At that time, there were less than 30,000 defenders in Youzhou, but they captured the head of the thieves and broke the Turks, do you know what happened? ”

Chen Zhou was most familiar with this kind of thing, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I remember!" When the news of the Turkic invasion reached Youzhou, the whole city panicked, and Zhang Shouqi knew that it would take at least half a month for the imperial court reinforcements to arrive, so he had to break the enemy by himself. He had a clear understanding of the habits of the famous generals of the Turkic leadership - the leading capital and the three deputy marshals were all greedy and greedy, and the generals were not harmonious with each other, and they were suspicious. Zhang Shouqi made up a false momentum, widely sent a detailed work, and released the news that Youzhou City had opened a gold mine in recent months, and the soldiers secretly excavated the gold to Chang'an every day to transport it, and some of the things that were too late to be transported were buried in Zhang's mansion, and the soldiers stayed up all night to guard, and the people were all moved from Youzhou, and they abandoned the city when the gold was exhausted, and the soldiers who really defended the city were less than 5,000 people. The Turks also have detailed work in Youzhou City, the so-called gold mine can not be mixed in to see what is going on, but it is not difficult to find out that the lights of Zhangfu are all night, and the treasury guards are strict, and after the news reaches the Turkic army on the march, many generals believe it is true. The march of 50,000 men was already extremely slow, and as soon as the generals heard the news, they each had their own thoughts on stealing the gold. Yeli first sent his confidant to privately lead 5,000 soldiers to quietly kill Youzhou; Other generals also have their own henchmen, you have two thousand, he has three thousand, and they rush to Youzhou City before and after. Zhang Shouqi had already ambushed one or two hundred thousand elite soldiers outside Youzhou City, and the strength of the Turkic army was scattered and reduced to zero. ”

Shen Pearl said: "This battle has made Zhang Shouqi famous, and he is often proud, it is twenty years ago today, no wonder Zhang Hanruo's house is lit up tonight, and he wants to come to Zhang's legacy to leave a legacy, and he has to come like this on this day every year." Said to Yan Ming: "Speaking of which, we misunderstood the old man of Zhangfu." Yan Ming bowed his head and didn't speak, thinking that he was a little unconvinced.

Shen Pearl said again: "Back then, Zhang Shouqi could do what he liked, and set a trap to lure the Turkic soldiers to hook immediately. We can do the same now. ”
