The man known as the Ninth Highness was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in a black robe, and his hair was tied with a jade crown as if it was swaying with smoke, adding a bit of mystery to his countenance. He is not very handsome, but his facial features look indescribably harmonious, and there is always a smile on his fair face, which is unexpectedly kind.

It's hard to believe that the person in front of him turned out to be Duan Rongxuan, the ninth son of the Chu Emperor and a member of the Southern Chu royal family.

Mu Yunge and Hongyi followed him all the way, only to see Duan Rongxuan riding a horse all the way down the main street, turning left at the end of the road and entering an alley.

When he reached the alley, he abandoned his horse and left it to a liquor store at the entrance of the alley to take care of it, while he walked on foot.

Mu Yunge and Hongyi were not good at riding horses anymore, and the sound of horses' hooves would show traces, so they immediately threw the horses to the wine shop, and followed Duan Rongxuan into the alley.

The red-clothed martial arts were good, holding Mu Yunge's elbow, lifting the brisk step and chasing closely, keeping a suitable distance from Duan Rongxuan, not far away. Duan Rongxuan didn't realize it, the further he walked into the alley, the deeper the smile on his face, and when he arrived in front of a courtyard, he actually hummed a little tune.

Mu Yunge and Hongyi glanced at each other, and their hearts were raised.

Duan Rongxuan stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a soft female voice immediately sounded in the courtyard: "It must be His Highness who is back, open the door quickly." ”

As he spoke, the two slaves and maids had opened the courtyard door.

Duan Rongxuan laughed, touched the heads of the two slaves, and walked towards a woman in blue standing at the door of the room, and said as she walked: "I know it's me from so far away, and Linglong's ears are getting better and better." ”

The woman who was called Linglong smiled and blessed her body: "Your Highness came back from the capital so soon, it must be a quick horse, and there was no delay for a moment, right?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Duan Rongxuan said, leaning towards the inner room, the smile on his face was a little stagnant: "What's wrong with him?" ”

"Still like that, don't speak, lean against the window and read." Linglong replied with a smile, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, but she quickly said: "A few days ago, Linglong was careless and didn't take a good look at him, so that he heard the discussion of several women outside the hospital, saying that the county lord of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was wronged Zhaoxue, and what nemesis was all a pretext for the royal family to gain power. When he heard this, he wept on the spot, and did not speak for several days, obviously preoccupied. ”

"Humph!" Duan Rongxuan snorted coldly: "It's been so long, how can he not forget that Nangong Jin?" ”

Linglong didn't dare to answer, and stood aside cautiously, seeing that he was angry, her pretty face was a little scared.

Duan Rongxuan's heart softened, and he whispered, "Okay, you go and prepare dinner, I'll go in and see him." ”

Linglong lifted the curtain, and Duan Rongxuan entered the inner room, completely out of the sight of Mu Yunge and Hongyi.

The red clothes stood in the corner with Mu Yunge, not daring to get too close, this delicate ear is too good, and if you get closer, you are afraid that you will be discovered. Mu Yunge was worried about the people in the house, and wanted to go and see, but he also knew that he couldn't be reckless, so he evacuated first with the red clothes.

Tang Linyi made arrangements earlier, the two came out of the alley, received the horses that were fostered in the wine store, and someone came with the tokens of Momen and led the two to the inn where they stayed. This inn has three floors, and the location is wonderful, looking from the house where Mu Yunge and the red clothes stayed, you can just see the courtyard that you have just visited. Although it is difficult to see from a distance, the eyesight is better, and the people who are active in the yard can still see.

The person who came to contact was a middle-aged woman, with a little back and a little dirty, completely dressed as a peasant, with a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in the large basket she carried around her waist, and she was also selling when she led the two of them to walk.

After setting up Mu Yunge and Hongyi, she whispered: "The door master doesn't need to worry, we have planned well, and we will definitely let the door master meet him tonight." ”

"Okay." Mu Yunge nodded, listened to her explain the plan, thought about it carefully, confirmed that there was no omission, and asked: "Duan Rongxuan is quite favored in Nanchu, although he is an idle prince, but the power in his hands cannot be underestimated. If you make such a big fuss, and you lose people when the time comes, he will definitely mobilize all the troops of the state capital yamen and the garrison, and Mozi will be able to retreat with all his body? ”

"Don't worry, the doorman." The middle-aged woman chuckled: "The people involved in the operation this time are all people with strong martial arts, and they will definitely not show their handles to Duan Rongxuan." ”

Mu Yunge breathed a sigh of relief, in the realm of Nanchu, this woman had more say than her, she told a few words to be careful, and the middle-aged woman withdrew.

The big thing has been decided, just waiting for the night to fall.

The middle-aged woman was very trustworthy, the last ray of light in the sky disappeared completely, and Mu Yunge's door was also knocked. The middle-aged woman in the day changed her outfit, wearing a black night suit, although she was still hunched, she was agile, her steps were light, and her martial arts seemed to be still above the red clothes.

The three of them went downstairs and went straight into the alley. When he arrived at Duan Rongxuan's courtyard, he went directly into a room.

For the next period of time, it was quiet again, and it was not until after the second watch that there was movement in the alley.

"It's going off!"

"It's going off, put out the fire!"

Immediately, many people poured out of the courtyard. Mu Yunge and the three of them were also standing at the gate of the courtyard, and sure enough, they saw that there was really a fire in the west, and looking at the direction in which the fire was rising, it was really that courtyard.

By this time it was autumn, and the flames were burning from the firewood house and soon spread to the main house. The people in the courtyard came out, but there was no well in the courtyard, and the fire was not put out quickly. Seeing the flames burning towards the main house, the people in the courtyard were a little panicked, and they all looked at Duan Rongxuan. There were many people outside the courtyard, with anxious faces, for fear that the fire would spread and affect their own homes. These honest people all carried buckets and wooden basins in their hands, and they were obviously all rushed to put out the fire.

"Push Lin Gongzi out, open the door, and hurry up to put out the fire." Duan Rongxuan hesitated, he already felt a hot breath on his face, if he delayed any longer, the people in the room were afraid that they would be damaged. The matter was critical, Duan Rongxuan didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered.

Linglong was already in a hurry to turn around the courtyard, and when she was ordered, she immediately rushed into the main house, and after a while, she pushed a wooden chair out of the house.

The wooden chair was a movable wheelchair, and the young man on the chair looked thin and tired, choking on the fire and coughing repeatedly.

Looking at it this way, the whole person is even more depressed.

Duan Rongxuan felt pity in his heart, and hurriedly pushed people out of the courtyard with his own hands, leaving space for the villagers to put out the fire.

Linglong and the others are used to getting along with these people on weekdays, but at this time, there was an accident at home, and it was not easy to stand and not move, leaving only a girl to take care of Duan Rongxuan and Lin Juzheng, and the others ran around with the neighbors on the left and right, and went to the well at the end of the alley to fetch water to put out the fire.

In the midst of the rush, another group of neighbors with buckets and wooden sheds rushed over. These people, both old and young, hurried to this side of the courtyard, hulala, the alley was slightly narrow, and Duan Rongxuan and the girl were washed away in an instant. Duan Rongxuan was busy escorting the people in the wheelchair to dodge, and just retreated to the eaves on the side of the alley, I don't know if it was crowded or what, an eight or nine-year-old child fell headfirst in front of the wheelchair, and the whole basin of water was sprinkled on the wheelchair.

Lin Juzheng's trouser legs were wet, but he didn't feel cold, and sat in a wheelchair and bent down to help the fallen child.

Duan Rongxuan was afraid that he would fall, so he hurriedly stopped him, and he took a step forward: "Don't move, I'll come, I'll come!" ”

Lin Ju withdrew his hand expressionlessly, and watched Duan Rongxuan step forward and help the child up. The child fell into tears and thanked him pitifully.

At this moment, the people who had just rushed in poured water on the flames and swarmed out again.

Duan Rongxuan was swept away by the crowd and swayed left and right, his body fell backwards, he was afraid of bumping into Lin Juzheng, so he hurriedly paused and stood firm, nervously turning back to hold the handle behind the wheelchair. His hand crossed the wheelchair space unhindered and landed firmly on the handle.

Duan Rongxuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly, he suddenly realized something and suddenly turned around.

I saw that the wheelchair he was holding was only a warm lump left, and the wheelchair was empty, and Lin Juzheng didn't know where to go!

Duan Rongxuan's expression froze for a moment, and his whole heart seemed to be hollowed out, staring blankly at the wheelchair. However, it was only for a moment, and he quickly reacted, and quickly turned to look at the firefighters who had just gone away. The mouth of the alley was empty, and the people had disappeared without a trace.

"Someone!"

The anger in Duan Rongxuan's heart surged, and the irrepressible killing intent was constantly stirring. He already understood that today's fire was a game, but if he didn't investigate it for a while, he let these people rob Lin Juzheng.

Three years of hard work, three years of planning, and in the blink of an eye, it was scattered into a cloud of smoke. How can you not hate? How can you not be annoyed?

Duan Rongxuan's face was distorted, his fists were clenched, he stared at the intersection in front of him and gritted his teeth: "Chase me immediately, whether it is a person or a ghost, bring him back for me!" Linglong, go and track down the origin of these people today! ”

"Yes!" Linglong's face was as earth-colored, and he trembled on his knees.

She knew how important Lin Juzheng was to Duan Rongxuan, this person had been fine with her for three years, and suddenly disappeared all of a sudden, if she couldn't find it, with Duan Rongxuan's means, she was afraid that she would have no way to live. Linglong didn't dare to delay and quickly disappeared into the alley.

Duan Rongxuan personally led people to chase along the road where the group of people came just now, but this fire came silently, and these people walked completely and left nothing. They chased all the way to Main Street, and they were already spinning around like headless flies, out of order.

Facing the empty main street, Duan Rongxuan's heart was also empty.

So far, there is nothing he can do, he closed his eyes, and he can only pin all his hopes on Linglong!

Duan Rongxuan didn't know that the person he was looking for was less than twenty zhang away from his courtyard!

Lin Ju was sitting on the chair, looking at the little girl who was obviously not in time for the end of the year, his eyes could not hide his shock, it was hard to believe that the perfect plan to rob people just now was actually from the handiwork of this little girl.

At that time, the situation was chaotic, the little boy fell, Duan Rongxuan bent down to help people, and in the blink of an eye, before he even reacted, the person was already picked up from the chair, quickly carried away by a tall man, and sent to this house.

"Second son Lin!" Mu Yunge blessed his body, smiled softly, and handed him an object in his hand: "Do you recognize this thing?" ”
