Ling Xiaotian hurriedly returned to the yamen, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the night duty officers were in a mess.

When they saw Ling Xiaotian come back, their faces changed even more.

"What happened?" Ling Xiaotian shouted.

"Wolf...... There are wolves ......."

Ling Xiaotian's face changed, and he hurriedly walked towards the side courtyard where Su Baitong was, and the messenger behind him wanted to finish speaking, but looking at Ling Xiaotian's dark face, he swallowed his words back in fright.

When Ling Xiaotian came to the gate of the courtyard. Ling Qingye was walking out of the courtyard surrounded by guards.

"Why is the second emperor brother in Miss Su's courtyard?" Ling Xiaotian's eyes stared at Ling Qingye deadly. Macro he begged to bear.

Usually used to seeing those pair of peach blossom eyes, but now seeing the cold light in Ling Xiaotian's eyes, even the virtuous king Ling Qingye was secretly frightened.

A guard on the side said, "I don't know how to break in a few wild wolves from outside...... Hurt a lot of people......"

"Shut up, this king didn't ask you!" Ling Xiaotian shouted loudly, and the guard hurriedly stopped in fright.

Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Scarlet King usually has the best temper, even if the people have a fault, he just laughs and passes.

The Scarlet King's sharp appearance is something that no one has ever seen.

Ling Qingye's face was not very good, "Shi Cai was talking to Miss Su in the courtyard, and he was careless for a while...... He let the wolves take her captive......"

Ling Xiaotian's eyes widened, and he approached Ling Qingye in a few steps, "What did you say?" ”

The guards around Ling Qingye were all vigilant. The guards beside Ling Xiaotian also touched the hilt of the sword with their hands at the same moment.

"Stop it all!" Ling Qingye shouted to the guards around him, "Are you trying to rebel!" ”

Ling Xiaotian bypassed Ling Qingye and walked into the courtyard, there was a tea set on the stone table in the courtyard, but there was only one tea cup, obviously Su Baitong had sat here drinking tea alone before.

Suddenly, he smelled a trace of sweetness in the air, which, though faint, was keenly captured.

He circled around the pergola in the courtyard for half a circle, and suddenly found an incense burner in a secret place behind the pergola.

He grabbed the incense burner, the spices in it had long since burned out, but the residual fragrance clearly showed him what had just happened here.

"Ling Qingye, you brute!" Ling Xiaotian's teeth rattled, and he took a few steps to the gate of the courtyard with the incense burner. He slammed the incense burner towards Ling Qingye.

There were guards around King Xian, and it was impossible for this incense burner to hit him on the head.

However, Ling Xiaotian's anger caught these guards off guard.

"Ling Xiaotian, you're crazy!" King Xian shouted.

Ling Xiaotian pushed away the guards who had stepped forward to stop him, and rushed towards King Xian, grabbing him by the collar.

"You brute...... What have you done to her, and you dare to use this kind of indiscriminate means......"

King Xian was caught by Ling Xiaotian coldly, and the guards around him stepped forward to pull it, but they didn't dare to move. The attendants around Ling Xiaotian were afraid that King Xian's people would hurt their master, so they all rushed up to protect Ling Xiaotian.

As a result, Ling Qingye, the king of Xian, was surrounded by people in the middle, dragging left and right, and everyone who only made them sweat all over their bodies, and they did not separate Ling Xiaotian and King Xian.

King Xian finally became furious and said sharply, "Are you all dead? Don't hurry up and get him away! ”

Those guards immediately came to their senses, how could the Scarlet King be compared to the Virtuous King. They should still take care of their masters first.

Just when everyone was in a mess, Chen Zhinan ran in from outside sweating profusely.

"Oh no! Qi army found outside the city! ”

For a moment, there was a dead silence inside and outside the courtyard.

Ling Xiaotian violently pushed King Xian away, and the clenched fists in his sleeves had already taken on a pale color because they were too hard.

The Virtuous King Ling Qingye was exposed by Ling Xiaotian in public because he used unpopular means, so he looked a little short of breath.

Chen Zhinan felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but the matter was urgent, and he didn't care about asking questions at all.

Ling Xiaotian flicked his sleeves and coldly spit out a word, "Go!" ”

Everyone turned and left, leaving King Xian and a few of his guards.

A cronie leaned over and said uneasily, "Your Highness." The Qi army won't really want to attack the city, do you want to avoid it? ”

Ling Qingye glanced at the cronie and snorted coldly, "Qiliang City is such a big place, if the city is broken, no one will be able to escape!" ”

Now the situation is not decided, if he retreats in a hurry, Ling Xiaotian will definitely take this opportunity to play him fiercely in front of the emperor, although the ministers of the court and the central government will speak for him, and in the end it will not hurt him in the slightest, but as long as he thinks of being questioned by Ling Xiaotian in public just now, the anger in his heart will be irrepressible.

Ling Xiaotian led people directly to the city tower.

On the tower of the city, all the soldiers defending the city were like loess, some of their bodies were still shaking, they were holding spears in their arms, looking from afar, those spears were like bald branches that had been blown off their leaves in the autumn wind, and they were all trembling.

It was pitch black outside the city, and everyone couldn't see far away.

Ling Xiaotian and the others climbed up to take a closer look, and finally saw that not far from the outside of the city, there was a faint formation of square formations, and the neighing of war horses could be faintly heard in the wind.

Ling Xiaotian remembered that when he was on the street, his tenth brother Ling Jingxiao told him that there were more than 500 Qi troops in ambush outside the city.

The number of opponents is not enough to pose a threat to Qiliang City, but in this way, martial law must be imposed in the city, and the Qi army has always been brutal and tenacious, it is difficult to say what kind of means they will use.

He had also seen Qi soldiers set their bodies on fire with fire oil and then rushed into the camp on horseback.

Ling Xiaotian held the battlement with his hand, and his heart was like a pot of porridge.

Su Baitong didn't know where he was caught by those wolves, he only heard that the ghost face went to chase him, but there was no news so far.

However, he believes that as long as the ghost face has not returned, then Su Baitong will definitely be alive.

Chen Zhinan leaned over at some point, his expression was sad, and he said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, someone wants to see you, saying that it is for the ghost face......

Ling Xiaotian was taken aback, "Where is that person now?" ”

The corners of Chen Zhinan's lips tightened, "Lord Wang, you must be calm in this matter, and you must not be rash!" ”

Ling Xiaotian pushed Chen Zhinan away, "Where is that person, bring it to me!" ”

In fact, Chen Zhinan's heart was not good, when he heard the news brought by that person, he also had a hot brain and wanted to rush down the city tower.

Walking up the stone steps of the castle tower, a guard in a black cloak walked up, and because he wore a hood on his head, even if there was a torch to illuminate it, people could not see the appearance of the person who came.

Ling Xiaotian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that person, "Why are you?" ”

The other party didn't speak, just bowed his hand, the figure was slender, and from the exposed fingers, it was clearly a woman.

Ling Xiaotian took the man to the corner of the city tower, and when he saw that there was no one around, the man raised his head and revealed her face.

"Jiansiqing, why are you here?" Ling Xiaotian asked.

"Ghost Face has gone after Miss Su." Siqing whispered, "He can't get out, so he asked me to help him pass the word back." ”

"Where is Su Baitong now?" There was an imperceptible tremor in Ling Xiaotian's voice.

"She's been taken out of town by the wolves." machine
