By the time the reinforcements sent by Xiao Sen arrived in Suzhou County, the rebellion at the city gate had ended. There was a glimmer of light in the distant eastern sky, and the sun could be seen in two hours.

Xiao Sen was inconvenient to go in person, so he sent Fang Yan, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard who accompanied him to Jiangnan, to lead the troops, but it was not a trip in vain, and Tao Yuhong was caught on the way.

After a fierce battle, Ling Fengchen was injured in many places, especially the most serious injury under the ribs, which was the injury he suffered to save Bai Muguan. Zhang Anjiang was also not lightly injured, he kept gritting his teeth and insisting on taking care of the endgame, and only returned to the county office to treat his injuries after the end.

As for Bai Muguan, he was almost unscathed, except for the sword abrasion, there was no other injury. Therefore, when she returned to the post station, she asked herself to write a report first, and ordered someone to send it to the capital in a hurry.

"Miss, Miss is not good." Xiangyun was in a hurry, with a worried look in his eyebrows.

Under the candlelight, Bai Muguan, who had changed into clean clothes, raised his eyes and asked urgently: "Is Xiao Lian's body found?" ”

"It's not!" Xiangyun's eyes were faintly red, "I wish Gongzi a sudden illness of the old one, I'm afraid it's not good......"

Bai Muguan stood up, with anxiety on his face, and asked repeatedly: "How come?" Doctor, please? ”

"Tonight, Jinyiwei suffered heavy casualties, Commander Ling and Captain Zhang were also injured, and all the famous doctors in the county were taken to the county government early in the morning for placement." The more Xiangyun spoke, the faster he spoke, "I wish Gongzi that this illness will not be cured by ordinary doctors." ”

"Prepare the horses!"

When she arrived at a courtyard closest to the county government of Zhu's house, her whole heart seemed to have been ripped out by someone, and it hurt so much. This kind of pain is very wonderful, not only because I feel sorry for him, but also because I feel empathy only when I am connected by blood.

The deep courtyard, quiet and elegant, makes first-time visitors feel nostalgic. The bedroom with a lot of soothing incense still can't hide a light medicinal smell, which is not pungent and unpleasant. The only one who accompanied Zhu Yanqing was Xu Wuren.

"Uncle Xu, how did Brother Zhu become like this?" Obviously before parting, he sent her back to the post station, and after less than an hour, he was lying on the couch lifeless.

He himself had a fair complexion, and at the moment he was so white that he was so white that he was silent and dead. The exposed wrist was red and swollen, Bai Muguan stepped forward and pulled up the sleeve of his bedgown, and his elbow joint was even more swollen and red.

Xu Wuren didn't seem to see her anxiety, and wrote lightly: "Childe just had rheumatism, and he just took an analgesic decoction and fell asleep, and he will be fine when he wakes up." ”

The girl didn't believe it, and stared at Xu Wuren stubbornly, her stubborn expression was sometimes the same as Zhu Yanqing: "The wind in the south of the Yangtze River is warm in April, and besides, he is fine, why did he get sick?" ”

She knew that Zhu Yanqing had rheumatism, and she also knew how painful it was when this disease attacked. Listening to Bai Zhanyi, her grandmother died of this disease, and the doctor said that men should not be passed on to women. Bai Zhanyi's physical health is different from ordinary people, and she has not had too many seizures so far, but fortunately, she is a daughter and has no brothers.

"Tonight, when Childe and the Qinglong Pavilion Lord confronted each other, he was injured by his overly cold internal force, and he was tired from traveling day and night, Childe insisted on not wanting you to worry." Xu Wuren picked a few words and said.

He didn't tell Bai Muguan that Zhu Yanqing was so strong and proud, and he never showed weakness and surrendered. The doctor obviously told him not to use force in the near future, but tonight he did his best to fight the enemy.

Bai Muguan caught a glimpse of boiling water with ginger in a brass lotus pot nearby, wringing out the steaming handkerchief, and applying it to his wrist for him. He unconsciously withdrew his hand, she hurriedly held him down, sat on the edge of his couch and asked, "Uncle Xu, can you allow me to be alone with him for a while?" ”

Xu Wuren wanted to refuse on the grounds that the general's affairs were entangled and it was not appropriate to delay, but he looked at the sleeping people on the couch, but he couldn't bear it. Quietly left to guard the door.

"Sister ......"

As soon as the door was closed, there was a whisper squeezing out of his lips and teeth, and Bai Muguan thought that he missed Zhu Linyu.

Soon he called out to his sister again, and she felt unbearable in her heart, so she took his hand that even his finger bones were red, and answered softly, "I'm here." ”

He seemed to be very happy in his haze, his lips were not thin or thick like a crescent moon, and he whispered a name, not his sister, not Linyu, but a clear Xiaoguan.

At this moment, Bai Muguan was shocked, and let go of his hand in a daze, how could she hold an adult man's hand? Except for Yu Wenye and her father Bai Zhanyi, she will not be so intimate and unrestrained to others.

suddenly thought that he still didn't marry, could it be that he fell in love with her and waited for her to reach adulthood? As a result, she and Yu Wenye were happy, no wonder his blessing was so reluctant to disobey the inn in Xia County that day.

The mood she felt when she left the other courtyard was indescribable, and Zhu Yanqing opened her eyes and smiled contentedly after she left. He didn't know what was going on in her heart, only that when he called his sister, she finally answered.

……

"As soon as I received the news, I hurriedly led five hundred soldiers and horses to support, but it was still a little late." Fang Yan's face was full of self-blame and shallow disappointment, it was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but unfortunately he came late.

Bai Muguan looked at his thoughts, and couldn't help but soothe: "Deputy Commander Fang has made a great contribution to our capture of Tao Yuhong, and His Majesty will definitely be rewarded when he returns to Beijing in the future." ”

Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, and didn't even dare to say.

At this time, they gathered in the county government office, and Tao Yuhong's family was under the care of Fang Yan's cronies, which was very proper.

"The deputy commander of the hard work side." The person who came in was Ling Fengchen, who took off his armor and changed into a brown robe, and the long knife was still in his hand.

Bai Muguan frowned and asked angrily, "Why are you here, didn't the doctor let you rest assured for two days?" ”

There were knife wounds on his back and under his ribs, and his arms were wrapped in gauze, but Ling Fengchen didn't think so, and joked: "Come and rob you of military merits." ”

When the rebellion reaches the capital tonight, there will be no rumors that dare to question Bai Muguan's position as a fourth-rank official. It was her idea to secretly escort the prince away, it was her idea to burn the thief, it was still her to take the crossbow and fly up the city wall, and even the final fatal blow to Huya. Zhang Anjiang lamented that he was a seven-foot man in vain, and he was not as brave as her at the last moment.

"The military exploits are fake, and it is already a good result that we can defend this city alive." After going through the ordeal of life and death, her eyes were shining, and the light was as bright as ever.

Fang Yan and him were of the same rank, and they spoke flatly: "How to deal with Tao Yuhong?" ”

Ling Fengchen immediately said: "It is not our turn to interrogate Tao Yuhong, so we will be escorted back to Beijing directly and handed over to the Criminal Department." ”

Fang Yan immediately asked, "Will his family also be escorted back to the capital together?" According to his rank, he is not eligible to be tried by the Criminal Department. ”

There are countless officials of all sizes in the DPRK and China, and the Criminal Department is only responsible for trying officials of the fifth rank and above. Tao Yuhong is indeed not qualified, and according to the rules, he should be handed over to the Department of Officials under the direct jurisdiction of the Criminal Department for review.

"Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, all major cases involving rebellion can only be tried by the Criminal Department." Ling Fengchen paused and said, "When I receive the edict from Your Majesty, I will personally escort the rebel back to Beijing." ”

So far, Fang Yan and Bai Muguan have no objections. Ling Fengchen is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the Ling family's impartial position is the most suitable for meddling in this matter.

Fang Yan patted his head and woke up like a dream: "I don't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is?" I haven't said hello to Your Highness yet, it's really disrespectful and rude. ”

The news of Yu Wenye's departure was kept secret, and Fang Yan didn't know about it. Ling Fengchen and Bai Muguan looked at each other, and were about to open their mouths when they were startled by the person who rushed in.

The person who recklessly broke in, but Bai Muguan recognized that he was one of the secret guards who escorted Yu Wenye away. Fang Yan was about to scold, but she asked first: "What are you doing when you come back, Your Highness has arrived in Zhezhou safely?" ”

When she asked, her heart plummeted, and no matter how fast the hour was, it was impossible to go back and forth from Zhezhou. Yu Wenye sent people back to Suzhou County, which can only mean that there was an accident on the way.

The person who came panicked, ignored the people standing in the court, knelt down and said: "Not long after leaving Suzhou County, His Royal Highness woke up, and if he has to come back to find Miss Bai, his subordinates can only kneel down to stop him." At this time, a masked man led more than 20 masters to sneak attack from behind, unable to prevent heavy casualties, and His Highness was also injured and fell off the cliff and his whereabouts are unknown......"

These words were tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, Ling Fengchen and Fang Yan were shocked and wide-eyed, unable to believe it. Bai Muguan seemed to be picked up in the air, and fell heavily from a high place, instantly losing consciousness.

It was still Ling Fengchen who found his voice from the panic: "What nonsense!" How do you take care of Your Highness? ”

"The subordinates are incompetent and know that they are guilty, so they came back to report that they asked the general to send someone to find His Highness quickly, and when His Highness is found, his subordinates will immediately receive death and apologize." After speaking, he kowtowed three times, and the token on his waist swayed with the undulation of his body, and Ling Fengchen recognized it as the East Palace token. And the tattered black clothes on his body, and the bloody wounds, all remind everyone that he is true.

Bai Muguan glared at him hard, wishing that he was lying, and roared in his mouth: "What about nothing? Is he dead? ”

"The Commander of Wu Yi is not dead, but he is also seriously injured. When His Highness fell off the cliff, he was surrounded by five people and couldn't get out. ”

is known as the martial arts of the world, but there are times when you can't get out? Who discovered Yu Wenye's whereabouts? Or did someone guess her arrangement early in the morning and ambush her on the road in advance?

She couldn't think about all of the above now, so she only asked, "Since he is not dead, why doesn't he come back?" ”

"The Commander of the Void is searching for His Highness alone on the edge of the cliff." A line of elite secret guards, only he and Wu Yi are alive.

Without further hesitation, Fang Yan immediately asked for help, ordered this secret guard to lead the way, and led five hundred people to rush to the rescue. How could Ling Fengchen not allow it?

Bai Muguan felt that his legs were weak, and he was unable to support his body and knelt down. She fought hard all night, escaped death, and waited for this bad news?

There were too many changes in this day and night, and it was difficult for her to bear. So he knelt on the ground stupidly, motionless for a long time, and time seemed to stand still.

It wasn't until the cold liquid slid down the corners of her eyes, slid over her lips, and tasted a faint bitterness, that she realized she was crying.

He fell off a cliff and disappeared......

This bad news frightened her more than the Suzhou City Gate was broken.

Ling Fengchen, who was silently accompanying him, was also heavy in his heart, like a boulder pressing down and breathless. He cheered up and comforted her softly: "Xiaoguan, don't panic, Your Highness is just missing, Fang Yan went all out to search, I believe it will be safe." ”

"Flesh and blood fall off a cliff, how can I die?" Bai Muwan muttered, and the warm liquid in his eyes was about to move again.

Ling Fengchen couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked her up horizontally, even though it hurt to affect his own injuries, he still hugged her steadily.

"Second Brother Ling......" She closed her sad eyes and leaned on his chest with all her strength, indulging her soul to disappear into the darkness before dawn.
