Chapter 143: A Night of Turmoil
The entire Dragon City has been locked under martial law, and although it is nearly midnight, the torches in the hands of the generals who search for prison robbers and fugitives from house to house illuminate the night as much as day.
Feng Huanling left the palace and did not immediately return to the Cheyue Palace, but rode straight to the North City with Long Yucang in a carriage, even if the general of Socheng tried to stop it on the road, and the carriages that found that it was the Cheyue Palace, they would also let it go.
The fire in the Beicheng Budrunken Building had been burning since before the chaos party robbed the prison, so no matter how unimpeded the carriage of the Cheyue Palace, when it arrived, the exquisite pavilion with a height of nine stories was already only ruined and desolate.
Although the men who barely escaped extinguished the fire with the help of the officers and soldiers and neighbors, they saw that their good livelihood was burned down in one day, and most of them only sat in front of the undrunk building framed by the ashes, their eyes empty and stupid.
As the big shopkeeper of the Kyoto Budrunk Building, Xuanqu rushed over as soon as he learned that the Beicheng store was on fire, but after all, he had no skills. At that time, he immediately sent someone to the Cheyue Palace, but the princess and the princess entered the palace to pay the full moon banquet of the princess, and he had no other way but to stay and wait.
"What the hell is going on?"
Feng Huanling got out of the carriage and saw that the shop that was still in the market when he came to see it the day before was burned down in one day, and the walls were gray and black, and he couldn't help but feel a raging anger in his chest.
If she were to find out who was the master, she would definitely get back all her losses tenfold and hundredfold!
"Returning to the princess, the fire was already uncontrollable when her subordinates arrived, and it is said that the fire originally started in several places at the same time in the cellar, kitchen and hall. It was around dinner, so the guys were busy evacuating the customers in the store first, and by the time they had time to put out the fire, the flames had already jumped to the top floor of the Tianzi private room......"
Xuan Qu bowed forward and briefly explained what he knew, and specially explained that Lord Jing Zhaoyin had already come, and confirmed that this fire was deliberately set by someone, which did not rule out the possibility of hatred and drunkenness, and there was also a certain reason for deliberately creating chaos, so that it would be convenient for the rebels to break into the heavenly prison and rob the prison.
"Can you catch those rebels?"
After all, they had just come out of the palace, and Feng Huanling and Long Yucang didn't know enough about the specific situation of the outside world.
"As far as my subordinates know, they have not yet found the prison robbery party. But the gates of the city are closed, and no entry or exit is allowed, and it is only a matter of time before the rebels and fugitives are hunted down. Xuanqu saw that the master's eyebrows were quite tired, and immediately said, "The follow-up of the fire will be handled properly, it is not early, please ask the princess and the prince to go back to the palace to rest first, tonight is destined to be chaotic and turbulent, I think it is safer in the palace." ”
Feng Huanling nodded a little absentmindedly, "Those hard-working Xuan shopkeepers, we must first settle those frightened guests and guys, don't be embarrassed about the money that should be compensated, and the most important thing is to appease them." As for the fire, I will never let it go easily, that is, those who dare to come to me and let it go will definitely have to pay the due price! ”
After a long period of cooperation, Xuanqu has long been convinced of this female boss from the inside out, so he has no doubt that the loss of Beicheng Budrunk Building will be returned a lot.
After making sure that no one was burned to death at the scene, Feng Huanling got into the carriage with Long Yucang again and turned around and returned to the direction of the imperial city.
When she finally returned to the Cheyue Palace, Feng Huanling only felt extremely tired, and she didn't eat anything at all when she was in the palace. Long Yucang seemed to be able to see through her, so he ordered someone to prepare a supper, and specially told her to choose her favorite food to make.
"I'm a little hungry, but I don't want to eat."
In the Wushuang bedroom, Feng Huanling nested in Long Yucang's arms, thinking back to everything she had experienced in the past day, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the successive events were too complicated, but what annoyed her the most was the burning down of the Beicheng Budrunk Building.
"Good, eat a little bit when you're hungry, Xuanqu is right, tonight is destined to be turbulent, even if our palace is afraid, it will not be spared." Long Yucang cupped her slightly pale cheek and kissed it, "But after you eat for a while, just take a good rest, I am here for the rest, you don't have to worry." ”
Not long after, the supper that had just been made was delivered, and it was forwarded by Su Yue and Zhilan.
Long Yucang coaxed Feng Huanling to eat a few bites, and someone came to report that a team of officers and soldiers responsible for searching for the rebels came to the door, claiming that they had seen a suspected rebel sneaking into the palace.
"There's a chaotic party sneaking in? Could it be that they still want to search the courtyard of my Cheyue Palace? ”
Feng Huanling, who was already angry, was immediately furious, seeing that her emotions fluctuated so much, Long Yucang was a little dumbfounded, and only after being stunned did he softly comfort her to continue eating, he just went to deal with those bold officers and soldiers.
No matter how good the reason is, those officers and soldiers will not dare to trespass on the important places of the palace after all, and when King Cheyue personally arrives, they will bow down and greet each other together.
"It turned out to be Lord Shangguan, but I didn't expect that even the adults would personally lead troops to search for the rebellious party."
The person led by this group of officers and soldiers who came to the Cheyue Palace's mansion was Shangguan Yi, but when he saw Long Yucang's expressionless and handsome face, he couldn't help but feel a little weak.
"Hehe, Weichen knows that it really shouldn't be to disturb the prince in the middle of the night, but some of the Royal Forest Army saw a few black-clothed people who were suspected of rebellious sneaking into your mansion, and Weichen was really afraid that those rampant gangsters who even dared to rob the prison would endanger the safety of the prince, the princess and everyone in the mansion, so he had to ask to see him."
Speaking of this, Shangguan Yi smiled flatteringly again, "I also forgot that the prince was thinking about Weichen's painstaking work, and it can also be convenient." ”
Long Yucang was still unmoved, and said coldly with a sinking face: "Even if there are really villains who dare to sneak into this king's mansion, this king also has thousands of ways to deal with it, if those people are really robbing the prison and rebelling party, this king will personally escort the prisoners to Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow, so he won't bother Lord Shangguan." ”
After that, he didn't give Shangguan Taifu a chance to say another word, and Long Yucang ordered the people to close the door directly.
"Bah! Do you really care about your life or death? Hmph, if it's really a chaotic party that sneaks in, since you have already burned the non-drunk building in Beicheng first, it's best to take care of your Cheyue Palace, so as not to always get in the way of Lord Ben's eyes! ”
After standing at the gate of the palace and complaining a few words, Shangguan Yi led the people away and continued to check the next family.
When Delong Yucang returned to Wushuangju, he was surprised to find that Li Xuan and other secret guards who were originally hidden in the shadows were surrounding the door of the bedroom side by side with Zhilan as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Lord Wang, that demon girl suddenly appeared somehow, her subordinates are incompetent, and she can't protect the princess."
Since Yushu's life and death are unknown, Li Xuan has been arranged to protect Feng Huanling in the dark, she has always boasted of her extraordinary kung fu, and she has never met anyone who can sneak to the protection target without her noticing, for which she blames herself and is extremely jealous of the woman in the room.
"Is Uncle Huang finally willing to come back? The slave family still thought that it would take a long time to do it, and it seemed that the Shangguan servant was not ordinary and useless. ”
An extremely bewitching female voice came from the brightly lit room, and just listening to it can make people feel soft all over the body, especially for men.
Long Yucang knew that he could cover the eyes and ears of Li Xuan and the others, this woman was by no means an ordinary person, so he simply waved away these secret guards who were only strong in martial arts, and asked them to thoroughly check whether there were still people in the mansion who had sneaked in, and then walked into the bedroom alone.
In the bedroom, the sudden extra fragrance made him frown, and when he turned his eyes, he saw that Feng Huanling's whole person was laid flat on the chaise longue, and her eyes could still move freely to look at him, but her body and limbs seemed to be unable to control themselves, and speaking seemed to have become a problem.
"You're the beast master from the Tiger Roar Country?"
Long Yucang, who had seen the girl with a cold surname who was full of mystery, although he had never been very concerned about women other than Feng Huanling, he was not unable to remember any of them, not to mention that he felt that there was an indescribable strange aura on this woman.
"I didn't expect that Uncle Huang could recognize who the slave family was, which really flattered the slave family. But according to Uncle Huang's eyesight, I should have seen that I am not just a genius beast master. ”
This person is Leng Xiangyuan, who has long been demoted to a talented person by Emperor Xuan, but she was degraded because it was a ploy, just to facilitate her to come and go more freely in the palace, and to go to Qinglong Mountain to cultivate her army of Warcraft.
Of course, in front of Long Jingming, what she promised was naturally to do this for his ambition to dominate the world, and she didn't care how much the suspicious emperor believed, because they were just using each other.
In the eyes of her thousand-year-old demon cultivator, even if she is an emperor of the human world, she is not a person, at least compared to the dragon imperial cangs, which are excellent for immortal roots and immortal bones in front of her, she is not even as good as a root!
Long Yucang didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, and asked bluntly: "What do you want?" ”
Leng Xiangyuan, who was sitting gracefully in the openwork wooden chair, was not polite, and glanced at him with silky eyes and said, "What I want is naturally you." After all, you ruined a few of my most cherished little monsters, so you have to give some compensation anyway. However, after a while, I found that this girl's soul is also very special, and the hidden aura in it made me a little unable to explore it for a while. ”
At this time, if Feng Huanling could speak arbitrarily, he would have scolded this female demon cultivator for being "stinky and shameless"!
"If you dare to hurt her in the slightest, I will definitely make your thousand-year-old path disperse and disappear."
Long Yucang, who was still vaguely cold as before, sounded very light and indifferent at first glance, but the murderous aura implied in it made Leng Xiangyuan feel a little chill down his spine.
