"There are assassins!!

The coachman exclaimed, and Yang Xun immediately looked around with the guards, only to see a black shadow jumping down from the opposite roof.

"Over there! Chasing ——! ”

When Ling Li heard the sound and lifted the curtain, Yang Xun, Dong Zhao and others had already ridden their horses and chased after the black shadow.

In the national capital, it is clear that someone wants to assassinate the prince in the street?!

Ling Li reached out and took off the arrow that was tied to the car, and found a white strip of cloth tied to the tail feathers. He unfolded the cloth strip, and on it was a line of blood words: Ling Yuan is in my hand, prepare 100,000 silver coupons, and come to Xiangji Temple tonight to redeem my life!

The bright red and piercing blood words made Ling Li clench his fists!

"Hurry back to the Aki Ogikan." Without waiting for Yang Xun and the others to come back, Ling Li ordered the coachman to hurry back home.

The chariot and horse did not dare to hesitate, and immediately whipped the horse and drove the horse towards the Autumn Pavilion.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Qiu Di Pavilion, before the carriage had stopped, Ling Li jumped down, picked up the long swing of his plain clothes with one hand, and strode towards the Yuehua Courtyard where Ling Juan lived.

Ling Juan has been recuperating in bed in Yuehua Courtyard since she fell from the rockery and broke her leg bone, but there is no one in the room at this moment!

Coming out of the room, Ling Li grabbed the maid who was sweeping in the yard and asked, "Where is Mingcui?" ”

The maid was frightened by Ling Li's impatient expression, and stammered when she spoke: "Ming...... Ming Cui ...... Sister with little ...... Miss go ...... Abundant...... Buying ...... at Fung Lok House Pastry ......"

How could Mingcui take Juanjuan, who has limited mobility, to Fengle Lou to buy pastries?! Ling Li intuitively felt that things were not good.

"Where's Madame?"

"Slave...... The slave doesn't know. ”

Yang Xun and the others failed to track down the man in black, and they hurried back at this moment. Ling Li asked Yang Xun to take people to Fengle Building to find Ling Juan, and he went to Dong Yuejiao's courtyard to find people.

When he came back from the Imperial Mausoleum of Hidden Dragon Temple, he went straight to Yongnian Palace, while Dong Yuejiao took his family back to his house. And at this moment, Dong Yuejiao is not in the house!

Thinking of the line of dazzling blood words on the strip of cloth, Ling Li suddenly had blue tendons on his forehead.

Xiangji Temple is still hundreds of miles away from the national capital Yong'an, and if Juanjuan is really kidnapped by kidnappers, he can't afford to delay for a moment. He immediately instructed his retainer Cao Zhong to prepare 100,000 silver coupons, and ordered Dong to prepare horses and gather the guards brought back from the Zhenxi army. After he returned to the room to change into his armor, the group rode to Fengle Building to meet Yang Xun and others.

Yang Xun heard in Fengle Building that Ming Cui did bring Miss Fuzhong to buy pastries at the end of the afternoon, but the group did not know where to go after leaving Fengle Building.

Yang Xun frowned and said: "Since the end of noon, several hours have passed, and it is said that I should have returned home a long time ago......"

"Go to Xiangji Temple!"

Yang Xun hesitated and said: "General, the Xiangji Temple is high and dense, and the thieves robbed the young lady to go there, but I am afraid that it is not for the silver coupons......"

"Naturally, not for the silver coupons. But I can't leave Juanjuan alone. In Ling Li's heart, because of his own negligence, his mother was killed, and his daughter was already his dearest person in this world, and no more accidents could happen.

"General, let's take someone to rescue Miss, it's safer for you to stay in the mansion."

"Originally, I was going to leave for the camp tonight, and this trip can save half a day."

With that, Ling Li grabbed the horse's belly and rode the horse out.

Yang Xun and the others looked at each other, helpless, and had to beat their horses to keep up.

*********

The concubine was buried, Ling Juan was robbed, the day of the General's Mansion was unusually busy, and the Shu Mei locked in the backyard of the Yongnian Palace Ji'an had long been forgotten, and no one paid attention to it. It wasn't until the evening that the palace people from Ji'an came to the backyard utility room to pick up things, and Shu Mei had to get out.

At this time, it was almost dusk, the dark clouds were low, the sky was dark, and it looked like it was about to rain.

After the funeral, Ling Zhao's people are about to do something to Ling Li's brother!

Last night had missed the best warning opportunity, Shu Mei couldn't care much more, she went out of Ji'an to find the auspicious omen, and hurried to the Xiangji Temple hundreds of miles away.

In the deer mountain of more than 200 miles southwest of Yong'an City, there is a steep peak like a knife and axe, there is a small temple with two courtyards on the ridge, the main hall is built on the dangerous rock, the construction is exquisite, the scenery is beautiful. Due to the topography, the incense mist burned here is enveloped in front of the ridge by the air current, lingering and lingering, just like the ethereal dream fairyland, the pilgrims are amazed again and again, and it is called the Xiangji Temple. The original name of the temple, Bodhi Temple, has been forgotten.

One year, on the birthday of the Buddha, pilgrims crowded on the steep mountain road one after another, about the incense mist on the ridge was too much, and more than a dozen people were confused and stepped into the air, and died under the cliff peak. After that, there were fewer people who came to Xiangji Temple to pray for blessings, and the temple gradually fell into disuse. Now, except for an elderly monk who stayed behind, everyone else in the temple has wandered away.

The terrain is steep and sparsely populated, which is why the robbers chose this place.

When Ling Li and his party rushed to the bottom of the mountain non-stop, it was already the end of the hour. The road up the mountain is steep and winding, and it is dangerous to ride a horse up the mountain at night. Ling Li left one man to take care of the horses at the bottom of the mountain, and he took a few other guards to climb the mountain on foot.

With the combat experience of Huifeng Ridge, the group adopted an interspersed diagonal formation in the mountains and forests, and maintained 12 points of vigilance and marched cautiously towards the ridge. But along the way, except for the miscellaneous footsteps that startled the insects in the grass stems in the forest, there were no traps or ambushes.

After shuttling between the dark mountains for a long time, it was not until they saw a candle flame fluttering in the night breeze that everyone knew that they had arrived in front of the main hall of Xiangji Temple.

Yang Xun wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and asked in a low voice, "There has been no movement all this way, will we go to the wrong place?" ”

"It's best to hide in the forest, we will get out at the slightest disturbance, and the robbers will naturally choose a safe place......" Looking at the Senhei main hall swaying in the candlelight and shadow, Ling Li gritted his teeth and said: "Whatever he is in Shura Hell, I want to go in and see who Yama is in charge!" ”

With that, he took the package full of silver coupons on Dong Zhao's back and strode towards the main hall.

"Dong Zhao and Sun Qin will take people to the left side of the main hall, Yu Cheng, Luo Shu, and Qi Kui will outflank the back of the main hall, and the rest will follow me!" After Yang Xun nodded at the head and made a simple division of labor, several people quickly bowed their waists in the dark and ran towards the defense point.

The door of the hall was wide open, and only the northwest corner of the hall was lit with a soybean oil lamp, and a little girl who was soaked was tied to the wooden beams and pillars by the five flowers. The light was so dim that the little girl hung her head as if she had fainted.

"Juanjuan!"

Ling Li was eager to rush over, but was grabbed by Yang Xun behind him, "Your Highness, be careful of your step-"

Ling Li lowered his head and saw that there was a hemp rope behind the threshold of the main hall, and the hemp rope was connected to the candle stand with an oil lamp in the northwest corner. It was also at this time that Ling Li realized that the hall was filled with a smoldering smell of tung oil. If it weren't for Yang Xun's quick discovery, Ling Li would have taken this step, and the candle stand would have overturned, igniting Juanjuan, who was soaked in tung oil!

"Listen to the people inside, I brought 100,000 silver coupons, you can release them!" Ling Li raised the burden in his hand and shouted.

There was silence in the hall, and there was no response.

Ling Li shouted again. This sound like a bell woke up the little girl tied to the beam, and the little girl immediately cried, "Woo...... Daddy, I want Daddy ......"

Maybe it was because she had cried for too long before, and her voice was extremely hoarse, not at all like Ling Juan's usual delicate voice.

Ling Li's heart ached when he heard this. He stuffed the silver coupon to Yang Xun, pulled out the double knives from the scabbard on his back with his backhand, and with a sudden wave of his right hand, a piece of silver light flickered, and the blade that swept quickly cut off the section of the wick burning on the oil lamp with a "swish", and the wick flashed in the air like a meteor, and it was extinguished in an instant, and the hall was suddenly dark.
