The people in the entire Qingyang Mansion seemed to know that the other owner of the palace was in a bad mood today, so no one bothered Zhongli all day, and let him shut himself up in the study all day.

Zhao Yiyan was a little worried and asked the old housekeeper about the situation, but was told that Zhongli was fine.

It's okay? How can this be the case if it's okay?

The next day, just after dawn, someone from outside the Qingyang palace came to report, saying that a group of soldiers had asked to enter the city, and they still had the emperor's warrant and secret decree.

"Sure enough!"

Zhongli sneered, squinted his eyes and asked people to change his clothes, and explained like ink in his mouth.

"If you explain it now, let people hide it from my eldest brother, this matter is just a small matter after all, and it will not be good to delay the eldest brother's recuperation when the time comes!"

Rumo was a little worried.

"But this is the imperial court! Besides, there is a secret decree, if the prince does not appear, isn't it bad? ”

Not good?

Zhongli sneered, she didn't find anything wrong, she only found that the other party was missing a princess, how could such a thing be handled? So, it's a good thing that King Qingyang doesn't appear, right?

"There's nothing wrong with me, isn't it?"

Although he is just a grass farmer, Zhao Yiyan has left all the things to himself.

The person who came was Lord Wang, the squire of the Ministry of War, although Zhongli had not had any contact with the other party, but he had also heard of this person, and he did a very refreshing thing of flattery.

She sat on the sedan chair, raised her eyebrows and watched the other man get off the horse proudly, and arched her hand at him with a smile.

"Hello Lord Wang!"

Wang Shilang squinted at Zhongli and couldn't help frowning, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

Although his grade is relatively low now, King Qingyang also takes himself too seriously, right? Is it okay to be the emperor's minister now? Do you treat yourself like this?

"Hmph, who are you? What about King Qingyang? Why don't you come and take the order? ”

Zhongli couldn't help but smile at him, the expression on his face becoming more and more pleasant.

"Me? I'm just a grass farmer, and I ask for forgiveness. The grass people's leg was broken because he was saving the seventh princess in the capital, I don't think the adults should mind, right? ”

Seven princesses?

Wang Shilang turned his head to look at the sedan chair behind him and shook his head at Zhongli.

"Huh? What are you? It's just a Diao Min, how dare you tell me here that you don't mind? Come on, drag someone down for me immediately, and scold twenty, no, thirty boards! ”

Hmph, King Qingyang asked a grass folk to greet him, and he didn't take him seriously, so he had to give this dismount.

Otherwise, how can you stay here in the future?

But who knows, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a group of people rushing out from somewhere on the other side, directly surrounding Zhongli in the middle, glaring at the net waiter with an angry expression.

"Who are you? Why did you do this to Zhong Gongzi? ”

"That's it, why do you hit the clock board? I think you should be beaten on the board! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I think you are a corrupt official, a bad official, why did the emperor let him come here? Definitely the bad guys. ”

"Yes, who doesn't know that the prefect in the border city was beaten away by the prince, how dare he come here?"

In the midst of the commotion, Zhongli looked at each other expressionlessly, his voice calm.

"Wang Shilang, my eldest brother was injured and bedridden because of the war, and he was stabbed by an assassin a few days ago, and his original good health is a little worse. That's why the grass people came to greet Wang Shilang. My eldest brother didn't have the heart of a villain, and he thought that Wang Shilang didn't care, but I didn't expect to see it wrong! ”

After speaking, Zhongli got up step by step with Rumo's support, and then approached Wang Shilang with an expressionless face, and then spoke loudly.

"But the gentleman said that the horse is difficult to chase. Come on, bring a bench, but it's only thirty boards, I guess I can't die! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it directly stimulated all the people present.

Originally, Zhongli was a local, and he was very familiar with them, plus he had done so much for the people of the border city before, so the people naturally liked him.

So, the stools on this side have not been brought yet, and any rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, etc., have already been thrown towards Wang Shilang.

"Diao Min! It's all a bunch of people! Someone is coming, and immediately arrest these people. ”

Wang Shilang spoke at them, escorted by a group of personal soldiers.

"Come on, come on! Don't let him touch Zhong Gongzi, fight! All go up and beat her! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Beat! ”

……

Seeing that the scene was becoming more and more uncontrollable, Zhongli hurriedly stood up to calm everyone's emotions.

"Everyone, everyone, Zhongli is here to thank everyone for their protection, but after all, Wang Shilang was sent by the emperor to the border city to protect everyone, even if you don't look at Wang Shilang's face, you have to look at the emperor's face, right?"

His eyes swept towards Wang Shilang, and when she saw that the other party only had anger and shame and no panic, a bright color suddenly crossed her heart.

Could it be that in fact, he didn't know that the princess was lost?

Thinking of this, Zhongli directly asked Rumo to help him in the direction of the palace and shouted long live.

The audience fell silent, and everyone began to follow Zhongli, kneeling on the ground and shouting loudly, long live the emperor, long live, long live.

Wang Shilang was helpless, if he was really indifferent to this situation, it didn't seem right, so he could only kneel on the ground and say long live.

Zhongli looked at Wang Shilang's appearance, and his heart chuckled.

"Wang Shilang, I heard that the seventh princess also came to the border city with you, and I didn't get off at this time, this is a big disrespect to the emperor!"

He spoke with some exaggeration.

At this time, Wang Shilang was afraid that he would be caught by Zhongli with pigtails, so he hurriedly asked someone to call the princess down, but when the soldiers hesitated a little, Wang Shilang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, was it the princess......

Sure enough, he was thinking something in his heart, and the guard over there came over and leaned close to his ear and slowly spoke.

Wang Shilang's face changed greatly when he heard this, and cold sweat began to ooze from his forehead, and he no longer cared whether Zhongli was sarcastic about being a villain, nor did he ask whether Zhongli was giving him a horse, the most important thing for him now was that the princess was lost!

"Wang Shilang, are you okay?"

Zhong was already aware of it, and at this time he came over.

Wang Shilang wiped the cold sweat on his face, and after glancing at Zhongli, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and arch his hand towards Zhongli.

"Young Master Zhong, the old man has something to meet the King of Qingyang, and he also asks the son to introduce him on his behalf."

At this time, he completely lost the domineering appearance just now, but was very humble.

Zhongli took a deep breath, then slowly shook his head and spoke helplessly towards Wang Shilang.

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't help with this matter. And Wang Shilang probably didn't know that King Qingyang had already arranged your residence before your arrival. ”

"How is that possible? I obviously ......"

Because this matter is too unbelievable, the emperor wants to marry his daughter to the prince of the enemy country, so for fear of arousing the anger of the people in the border city, their arrival is kept secret, and he himself only gave the news when he arrived in the border city, isn't King Qingyang unable to preside over the daily work? What else can you arrange a place for him?

Zhongli continued to smile as if he didn't see his anger, and asked Wang Shilang to take him to the post station.

After all, the Qingyang Royal Mansion was originally chaotic, who knows if these people brought by Wang Shilang are in danger, and besides, he still has to wait for Wan Qiming to come out in the palace, so naturally he can't give up halfway.

And Wang Shilang felt that he had lost face by Zhongli again, he sharpened his back molars, gritted his teeth and glared at Zhongli, gasping for breath in his nose.

"Zhongli, are you serious?"

Zhongli couldn't help but roll his eyes at Wang Shilang and waved his hand very casually.

"Seriously, really. Someone is coming, why don't you leave with Wang Shilang? ”

Zhongli shouted.

After a group of people finally disappeared from front of him, Zhong Li sneered and called Zhong Li Yue, who was standing not far behind him, and explained in a cold voice.

"You go and check on those people around Wang Shilang to see what their background is? Let's see who is related to the disappearance of the Seven Princesses? ”

Zhong Liyue nodded and left, but he didn't ask why.

After all, being able to kidnap a princess so quietly and without interest in front of so many people is not such a simple thing as saying a word and drinking saliva, there must be an internal response behind it, but who is this internal response, of course, you have to bother to investigate.

Zhongli sent Zhongli Yue away, and he received a note from Hanako that he stuffed it for him.

He looked at the words on it and slowly tugged at the corners of his lips.

He knew that Wan Qiming would come.

In a private house in Dongshi, Wan Qiming was looking through the miscellaneous notes in his hand, boredly waiting for that person to appear.

"Zhongli!"

There was a knock on the door, Wan Qiming's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped out to open the door.

It's just that when he saw the familiar little little Hanako in front of him, he couldn't help frowning.

"Why are you here again? Didn't I give you the money just now? Also, did you get the previous thing done? Did the other party find out? Is there anyone behind you? ”

Wan Qiming was a little nervous, just for fear of being discovered, he could only find children of this size, so that nothing would happen.

But who knows, the child shook his head gently at him, and then, after giving him a suspicious look, he ran as fast as he could, as if someone was following him.

Wan Qiming's face changed, he took a step back quickly, and raised his hand to close the door, but who knows, he was still a step late, someone had already stood up, stretched out a hand in front of the door, and stopped the other party's movements.

Seeing a hand appear in front of him, Wan Qiming sighed in his heart, and then stood still in place, looking at the person who appeared in front of him with a wry smile on the corner of his lips.

If it's not Zhongli, who else could it be?
