It was almost dawn, and Duanfu, which had been noisy all night, finally quieted down after a night of war and chaos.

Although the scene was quiet, the tense atmosphere around the Duanfu did not dissipate, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Huizhou Mansion Army in armor surrounded the Duanfu, and every gate in the palace was now heavily guarded, and the gate was equipped with ten crossbowmen in addition to the ordinary guards, and the hard bows and crossbows emitted a cold light under the morning light.

Behind the gate, Governor Song Mingxuan was talking to an old man with white hair.

This old man is none other than Duan Xingde, the current patriarch of the Duan clan.

"Duke Duan, how was Her Royal Highness the Princess settled last night?" Song Mingxuan asked with concern.

"I was in a hurry last night, so I had to clean up an upper room and let Her Royal Highness the princess live in first," Duan Xingde's eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like he hadn't closed his eyes all night, "I will prepare the house for His Royal Highness again today, and now I have asked my granddaughter to accompany me, and the two unfilial grandsons are also there, the governor can rest assured, the Duan family will do their best to protect the princess." ”

The old man said in a loud voice.

Song Mingxuan nodded, "It's a shame to say, the official is to blame for this situation now, and the princess should also be taken back to the mansion by the official for protection, but in addition to those offerings that are hidden by the family, only your family Erlang has enough ability to protect the princess......"

A trace of pride flashed in Duan Xingde's cloudy old eyes, and he arched his hand towards Song Mingxuan, and smiled heartily, "Where, the princess can really stay in the humble house, and I have to thank Lord Song for giving such glory to the old man." ”

Song Mingxuan smiled bitterly, "If it is in normal times, this is indeed a supreme glory, but this time, I have put your entire Duan family on board, and the pressure on my side is very great." ”

Duan Xingde's expression looked a little helpless, but then he laughed nonchalantly.

"This is all a matter taken over by those two unfilial grandsons, the old man is used to it anyway," Duan Xingde said while shaking his head, "To put it bluntly, our family and the royal family are also in-laws, although it is a secret marriage, after all, Da Lang occupies the title of princess brother-in-law, and our Duan family has already been involved." ”

Song Mingxuan's face flashed with some sympathy for a moment, patted Duan Xingde's shoulder, and saluted the old man, "It's not easy for you, my side will continue to impose martial law on the government soldiers, and anyone who wants to see Princess Jinyang must be stopped first." ”

"The old man did the same before," Duan Xingde raised his head on the ground, "His Royal Highness Jinyang is still a little younger, and he didn't know how to be sinister before, so I'm afraid I wasn't too careful in personnel exchanges, so I will end up in the current situation." The old man will take care of His Highness here, and block those guys who are moving when they hear the wind. ”

Listening to the old man's words, Song Mingxuan narrowed his eyes, and a trace of understanding flashed on his elegant face.

The old fox is still the old fox, and at such a tense juncture, he can still know how to make the most effective use of resources.

It seems that the Duan family still has an undead heart for the princess.

It is estimated that she fell in love with the identity of Princess Jinyang, the puppet princess, and wanted to take advantage of this accident to firmly control Princess Jinyang in her own hands.

It seems that the rumors of Duan Erlang and Princess Jinyang before were not completely groundless.

The smile on Song Mingxuan's face remained unchanged, even though he knew the small calculations in the heart of the head of the Duan family, but he had to admit that this incident, he had to rely on the strength of the Duan family, and the Duan family just wanted to control the princess, and Princess Jinyang's personal safety would definitely be fully guaranteed.

For himself, Princess Jinyang's safety now is the most important thing.

If Princess Jinyang really had an accident in Huizhou, her days as governor would come to an end.

The Duan family has been rooted in Huizhou for many years, and the old man in front of him has been immersed in officialdom for many years when he was young, so he must be handy in dealing with this kind of princess who is not deeply involved in the world, and Song Mingxuan is not worried that he will be angered by Princess Jinyang, so he simply turns a blind eye.

"Then there is Lao Duangong," Song Mingxuan arched his hand towards Duan Xingde, "The guards outside your mansion will be handed over to the Huizhou Mansion, and the safety of the mansion will be all up to Duan Gong." ”

"Even if I take this old bone, I won't let the princess hurt a single hair." Duan Xingde said.

The two laughed tacitly.

"Then the old man won't bother Lord Song here, you can go and get busy," Duan Xingde and Song Mingxuan finished greetings, turned around and walked towards the mansion, he was ready to go to the place where Princess Jinyang lived, those three juniors are not deeply involved in the world, although they can gain the trust of the princess, but many times they do things without considering the interests of the family.

Duan Xingde sighed, but remembered the scene when Duan Haochu and Duan Lizheng brought Princess Jinyang back last night, and he was a little relieved.

In any case, his grandsons are indeed very good, as long as these two grandsons are there, he will not worry about the royal princess.

As he thought, there was a sudden commotion behind him.

"Who? A bunch of rice buckets, hurry up and stop me! Song Mingxuan's angry roar sounded not far behind him.

"What's wrong?" Duan Xingde turned around with a puzzled expression.

The old man's eyes widened.

This is a group of people who look like guards, although they are guards, but they look at the dress and weapons are similar to the cavalry in the army, all of them are riding tall horses, even the body of the horse is covered with armor, and a black horse led by a young man is riding, and the young face is dazzling in the morning light, and the appearance is amazingly handsome.

This group of men and horses actually rushed straight towards the heavily guarded Duan Mansion, and the officers and soldiers on the periphery had stepped forward to try to stop them, but this team of men and horses actually did not pay attention to the officers and soldiers at all, and had no intention of slowing down.

"Who? The Governor is here, dismount quickly! The crossbowman at the gate pulled the hard bow in his hand to the shape of a full moon, and the sharp arrow pointed directly at the young man on the horse, and roared loudly.

"I'm from the British Mansion!" The boy yelled.

"In order to save my sister, I ask to see Princess Jinyang!" The horse's hooves under the young man kept stopping, and there was a desperate spirit on his body, and the officers and soldiers in front of him were a little stunned for a while.

The British Mansion? Song Mingxuan frowned, he had just asked someone to send away a batch at night, why did another batch come.

Therefore, this kind of empty shell aristocracy that thinks very highly of itself is also troublesome.

To put it bluntly, I just don't understand what status I am now.

Song Mingxuan's generals nodded.

"Princess Jinyang is gone! Wait for the night to retreat quickly! The general raised his voice and shouted.

But the team still had no intention of stopping.

"I am the founder of the country, after Zhu Hong!" The handsome young man on the horse said loudly, and his voice resounded through the sky.

"If you don't let you go, we will force your way through until we see Princess Jinyang herself!" Zhu Rong rode on his horse and looked condescendingly at Song Mingxuan who was not far away and said.

"What?" Song Mingxuan looked frightened and looked at the young man in disbelief.
