Beneath his feet are the bones of the bones, surrounded by a dark forest, and the dark night is shrouded here.

The night is surprisingly quiet.

Zhao Yiyan slowly moved forward with a cautious face, the sword in his hand shining with a broken light in the faint moonlight, and it seemed that he could see blood in the next second.

Except for the sound of the wind and the rustle of leaves, Zhao Yiyan looked around, and there was no half a figure.

It's as if the person I just followed disappeared out of thin air.

He sank his heart and watched his surroundings intently.

Suddenly, a figure in the air rushed towards him, and then one by one attacked Zhao Yiyan one after another.

More than a dozen people with long swords surrounded Zhao Yiyan in the center.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands, not to mention more than a dozen people on the other side besieging him?

It's just that what makes Zhao Yiyan curious is that the other party seems to know that he is coming here in advance, and he has already prepared a response plan, but the other party has no intention of killing him.

Because of the left and right rushes, Zhao Yiyan was obviously about to be stabbed by the other party several times, but he still avoided it dangerously, which seemed dangerous, but in fact there was no chance of killing.

With this idea, Zhao Yiyan was patient and negotiated with them.

"Who are you? What to do in the capital? And Zhongli, why are you following him? ”

A series of questions were asked by Zhao Yiyan.

When several people heard this, the movement in their hands suddenly slowed down, and Zhao Yiyan found the right time to stab one of the people who was obviously distracted, but when he responded, he was stabbed in the abdomen by that person unprepared.

Zhao Yiyan became more and more sure that they didn't want to kill themselves, because everyone can kill themselves, let alone so much?

Their kung fu is significantly higher than their own.

"Don't you say? Do you think that this general will not be able to find out? You ......"

It's just that before the words fell, Zhao Yiyan found that their gestures were more neat than before, and even a little fatal, and after taking two swords, Zhao Yiyan jumped up, dragged his injured body, and ran towards the depths of the dense forest.

Eventually, he found a hidden cave in the mountains, and eventually collapsed in the cave.

The group of people who were chasing Zhao Yiyan saw him run into the mountains and then disappear like that, glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and scattered away.

Zhao Yiyan lost too much blood, leaned against the rock wall and passed out, drowsy, as if he had been taken away, he wanted to struggle, but his hands and feet were weak, and he fainted again.

And Zhongli's side had already informed General Wang after Zhao Yiyan left that he had to investigate again!

After knowing that Zhao Yiyan began to investigate this matter, he began to wait for news at home.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that he didn't wait for these two people, but the head of Qingyang Palace's mansion came.

"Second son, how many days have you seen the prince?"

The butler looked at Zhongli and asked anxiously.

"No, isn't my eldest brother busy all the time? Or is something going on? ”

Looking at the housekeeper's anxious and worried expression, Zhong Xuan sighed and had a bad premonition.

"The prince hasn't been back to the house for two days, and today the emperor asked people to visit his home, which is really ......"

The manager couldn't help but sigh fiercely at the mention of this, and shook his head with a worried expression.

"The prince is often away from home during this time, and the old slave knows that the prince is busy. But when I went out two days ago, the prince didn't bring anyone with him, and the old slave was really worried......"

"When? Big brother, don't you go out with anyone now? Monkey business! Big brother is confused, won't you arrange a few people? ”

Zhongli's face changed, and he scolded angrily, his brows furrowed even tighter.

He had already offended the third prince, and the fourth prince didn't necessarily treat him well, so it was dangerous for him to go out now.

What if something really happens......

Zhongli took a deep breath, tried to make himself think better, and then hurriedly called Wang Qinglin to meet the head of the palace.

"Now immediately call the people who can be called and start going out to find someone for me, be careful, don't look for it with great fanfare, just look for it quietly."

Don't wait for someone to find someone who is in danger and finally has to be in danger.

It's just that after searching for a whole day and a night, I still haven't found any clues about Zhao Yiyan.

It's been three days!

Zhao Yiyan has disappeared for three days!

The bad feeling in Zhong Centrifugation is getting stronger and stronger.

He was sitting in the Qingyang Palace at this time, and called the chief manager and asked him to go to the palace to take leave for Zhao Yiyan.

"So, it can't be done, right? Even if the prince has typhoid fever or something, if the emperor sends the imperial doctor over, we are bullying the king! ”

The shrill voice of the chief steward's father-in-law was terrified and frightened.

But Zhongli didn't dare to take this risk at this time, Zhao Yiyan might have disappeared for himself, and if the emperor intervened, this matter might be self-defeating.

She gritted her teeth at the manager.

"If something happens to this matter, I'll take care of it, and you can go and let someone handle it right now. Let's just say that the eldest brother has smallpox. ”

Smallpox was also a disease during this period, and it was a lifelong disease.

Even in Zhongli's opinion, in their time, even their ancient Qing Dynasty could not be compared, and the methods of the doctors were only unsatisfactory.

After the chief manager groaned for a while, he could only treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and prayed in his heart that the emperor would not let the imperial doctors come over to diagnose and treat him on a whim, otherwise, something would happen.

And Zhongli entered Zhao Yiyan's study at this time, and everyone in the palace knew the relationship between Zhongli and the prince, so there was no obstruction, and Zhongli was unimpeded.

Zhao Yiyan investigated what Zhongli knew, and the ancients liked to discuss matters in the study.

Fortunately, Zhongli had already seen the place where Zhao Yiyan put the secret documents before, and she hurriedly came in and rummaged through the cabinets, and finally found the place where Zhao Yiyan's secret things were.

After quickly browsing the information above, Zhongli realized where Zhao Yiyan had disappeared for so many days.

Baihualou.

Zhongli looked at the address on it, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his nose helplessly, why does everyone like this name?

Is it a chain with the Baihualou in the border city?

However, this kind of thing disappeared after it flew through her mind, and it was more important to find Zhao Yiyan now.

It's just that if you want to find Zhao Yiyan, you must go to Baihualou!

Zhongli panicked but didn't lose his mind.

Since Zhao Yiyan didn't retreat when he went, can he find Zhao Yiyan alone? Now he has to find someone to help him, and the only person who helps him is General Wang.

But Zhao Yiyan said that the current actions of the general have attracted the attention of many people, does this mean that if he goes to General Wang......

Zhongli thought about it again and again, but he still came to General Wang's house and simply expressed that he wanted to find him for a few cronies, and it was the kind of cronies he trusted, and went to find someone.

General Wang looked at Zhongli's appearance and didn't ask much, but gave Zhongli the joy of a few secret cronies under his command back then, for Zhongli to dispatch.

It's daytime, and Baihualou is closed now.

Zhongli led the people and prepared to break inside.

"Hey, hey, this son, we are temporarily closed here, if the boy wants to find our girl, he will come back in the evening, now the girl can be resting, it is inconvenient to pick up customers!"

At the door, Zhongli was dressed in men's clothes, and several people behind him were directly stopped by the old bustard and a few turtle slaves.

"Bustard, as long as we pay for it. What day and night? To do business, the foyer needs to be opened, where is there a reason to turn away guests, you know, how much you will lose if you reject me! ”

As he spoke, Zhongli took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, then took out a thousand taels and shook it twice in front of the old bustard, slapped it on the other party's chest, and sneered.

"Call your girls, come out to pick up the guests!"

The old bustard was looking at the son in front of him, dressed plainly, with a raw face, although he brought a few people, but looking at the son of an ordinary businessman, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

But when he took the silver ticket in his hand, the old bustard's eyes widened, and it was a thousand taels just now, and after that, ......

This one is one thousand taels, and there are more than a dozen in that hand, so how much money does it have to have!

If it's all spent on her, then ...... herself

The old bustard didn't dare to think about it anymore, and immediately put a smile on his face, brushed aside the turtle slave standing behind him, and made an inviting gesture to let Zhongli in.

"Come on, come on, rules are dead, people are alive! Since Childe is really a girl who came to us here, how can I, the mother, refuse! Come on, come in! What are you doing in a daze? Let the girls dress up and come out to pick up the old lady! ”

Then he motioned to the turtle slave behind him, and asked them to quickly call all the girls here.

"What do you call this son?"

The old bustard had a smile on his face and a flattering expression.

"Zhong Xiaoguang!"

Zhongli pretended to observe the decoration of this place and generally glanced around the hall, wanting to notice the difference here, so he gave himself a name.

"Young Master Zhong! I don't think I've seen you before! ”

"Well, as my father just came to the capital, I heard that you have a good girl here, so I came to take a look."

Zhongli retracted his gaze and looked at the old bustard in front of him.

The old bustard was also a shrewd person, although the person in front of her was a huge gold ingot, but she did not miss Zhongli's inquiring eyes, as well as the two well-dressed and straight-shaped house slaves behind him.

In the past, such house slaves may not have attracted the attention of the bustard, after all, some rich families have trained nursing home guards, and they are basically the momentum of the two house slaves in front of them.

But it was the inquiry in Zhongli's eyes that made the old bustard suspicious, and he was also wary of the person in front of him.

She didn't think much of it, though.

Recently, the capital has been very lively, everyone comes and goes, so it's not lively.

And with her father coming to the capital at this time, she secretly wondered in her heart if the other party's father came to Beijing to report on his work, where was the emperor of the soil? Otherwise, how could it be so generous?

"Then which girl did Zhong Gongzi come to find us? Zhong Gongzi said it, I will directly ask the girl to come down and accompany you well! ”

"Oh! I've just heard that the girls here are so graceful and versatile, so I'm going to take a look. ”

Zhongli looks like a merry boy, and when he talks about the beautiful girl, he has a squinting smile on his face.

"Otherwise, Mom will call the girls here, and then I'll look at them one by one and choose the most beautiful girl to serve me!"

Zhongli suggested as he gave the people around him a look.

After seeing the other party nodding, he finally smiled.
