Chapter 12 Getting Out of Trouble

After entering the captain Li Xiaowan's room, Lan Xinyue didn't know how to speak, so she had to sit on a chair and drink tea silently.

Zhu Xiaoqi has been taken away for five days, and there is no news at all, and she is extremely anxious. But as a member of Twilight, she knows the rules of the military. The matter involves the royal family, and rashly inquiring about Zhu Xiaoqi's whereabouts will bring her and Du Xuewei a lot of trouble.

"Xinyue, do you want to save Zhu Xiaoqi?" Li Xiaowan, who was sitting beside her, suddenly broke the silence and asked softly.

"Captain, I'm ......" Lan Xinyue looked at her, a little frightened.

"On the island, when you told me that he cured me of my illness, I understood your thoughts. Li Xiaowan said with a smile.

"Captain, I shouldn't have ......"

"I went to see the princess, but she was not seen in her retreat. So, my path doesn't work. Li Xiaowan interrupted her, shook her head and sighed.

"Then what should I do?" Lan Xinyue asked with a frown.

"I think at this time, someone must be more anxious than you to inquire about his whereabouts. ”

"Who?"

"Think about it. Li Xiaowan looked at her with a smile.

"If you're in trouble, remember to find me. When Lan Xinyue went out, Li Xiaowan's voice floated from behind her.

The captain's words gave Lan Xinyue a glimmer of hope. Her attitude is very clear: as long as there is Zhu Xiaoqi's whereabouts, she will save people.

After thinking about it, Lan Xinyue felt that there was only one person who could help - cousin Lan Yu. So, she hurried out of Xiyuan, called a carriage, and headed for the garrison of the 1st Regiment of the Guards.

The task of Du Xuewei was assigned by the imperial family, and General Long, who picked up Zhu Xiaoqi in Xiyuan, was also a person around the emperor. If you want to inquire about Zhu Xiaoqi's whereabouts, you have to start with the Royal Guard. And this month, it was precisely the 1st Regiment of the Guards who was in charge of guarding the palace.

Soon after the sentry at the camp gate passed the word, Lan Yu hurried out.

"What's the situation today? Both sisters suddenly remembered me!" Looking at Lan Xinyue, who was standing at the door, he muttered in his heart.

"Sister, why did you remember to come to see me?" Lan Yu asked with a smile as she walked into the camp.

"I just came back from the mission, I miss you, so I'll come and see. Are you not welcome?" Lan Xinyue said with a smile.

"When you lie, you will be nervous, and when you are nervous, you will secretly pinch the corners of your clothes! Lan Yu smiled.

"Well, I'll be honest. Lan Xinyue stuck out her tongue, "I want to ask my cousin for some news." ”

"Asking for news?" Lan Yu's brow furrowed. The purpose of the two sisters coming to him was to inquire about the news.

"Hmm. I want to inquire about the whereabouts of a person. ”

"Who?" asked Lan Yu.

"Zhu Xiaoqi, a chubby teenager, was picked up by General Long from Xiyuan a few days ago. ”

"You're looking for him too!" Lan Yu smiled bitterly.

"Who else is looking for him besides me?" Lan Xinyue was shocked when she heard this, and asked anxiously.

"Xinyi came to me just now, and she also asked about his whereabouts. Lan Yu replied, "Who the hell is this kid?"

Lan Xinyue felt anxious in her heart. Li Xiaowan is right, her sister must be helping Wu Chen inquire about the news.

"Didn't my sister tell you? He's a makeshift recruit from Twilight. Afraid that Lan Yu would be suspicious, she asked rhetorically.

"That's it. He is now locked up in the royal palace, waiting for him to eat and drink. Listening to the above meaning, I guess I'll let him go tomorrow. Lan Yu frowned.

"Oh, thank you, cousin, then I'm leaving!" Lan Xinyue hurriedly said goodbye. She had to do her best to bring the news to Li Xiaowan.

"Xinyi, I have already revealed the news to Xinyue as you said. You two sisters, one wants to kill, the other wants to save, what is the singing?" After returning to the dormitory, Lan Yu looked at Lan Xinyi, who was sitting in the room leisurely drinking tea, and asked in confusion.

"It's not me who wants to kill him, it's Wu Chen. It was Xinyue who wanted to save him. The only one who can save him is Li Xiaowan. As for me, I'm just watching the show. Lan Xinyi replied lightly.

"What kind of drama are you watching?" Lan Yu said in surprise.

"Look at how Li Xiaowan trained the first male soldier of Twilight Xuewei. Lan Xinyi smiled.

"Ridiculous! Twilight Xuewei is the princess's guard, how could Li Xiaowan leave a male soldier inside?"

"Since Wu Chen has set his sights on Zhu Xiaoqi, Li Xiaowan may have no other way. Think about it, the Wu family's power is all over the place, and if he leaves Dusk Xuewei, can he escape from Wu Chen's palm?"

"Are you so sure that Li Xiaowan will save him?"

"Li Xiaowan is a person with clear grievances. Lan Xinyi nodded confidently, "Zhu Xiaoqi saved her." Now that he is in trouble, she will never stand idly by. ”

"Xinyi, I'm completely confused right now. Which side are you trying to help?" Lan Yu was confused.

"No one helps. All the qiΔ“ I made was for the Lan family. Lan Xinyi sighed leisurely.

"For the Lan family?" Lan Yu was even more confused.

"Hmm. Lan Xinyi nodded, "Wu Chen's talent and talent are first-class among the young people in the imperial capital. But as the young master of the Wu family, he is ambitious and domineering, and he acts recklessly, which is not the blessing of the Wu family, and it is not a good thing for the Lan family. I must build him up with a formidable opponent, extinguish his sharpness, smooth his edges and corners, and make him mature and rational. And Li Xiaowan is the best candidate. ”

"Xinyi, marriage is not the only means to gain political allies. If you don't want to get married, I can persuade my uncle. Listening to her cousin talking about Wu Chen, who was about to get engaged to her, in an indifferent tone, Lan Yu felt very uncomfortable.

"It's not the only means, but it's the best way to do it right now. Wu and Lan are both emerging forces in the imperial political arena, and peace is a win-win situation, and a fight is a loss. A marriage brings the interests of the two families closer together, and the common interests will become a solid foundation for the alliance. Lan Xinyi smiled.

"I admire your rationality, Xinyi. But have you ever thought that your rationality may be the tragedy of your life!" Lan Yu said angrily. He looked down on the Wu family from the bottom of his heart.

Lan Xinyi lowered her head and fell into silence.

"Think about my words, Xinyi. Lan Yu persuaded softly.

"If the Lan family is strong enough, why do I need to be like this?" After a long time, Lan Xinyi sighed sadly, "If my choice can make the daughter of the Lan family, from Xinyue, not to stage such a tragedy again, then it will be worth it!"

This time, it was Lan Yu's turn to be silent. The imperial political arena is like a huge whirlpool, once it is involved, it can't help it, and the decision of the Lan family is also a last resort.

"That Zhu Xiaoqi, who is it?" he diverted the topic.

"An ordinary wandering teenager, but he will soon become the focus of Haiyue City!" a playful smile appeared on Lan Xinyi's face.

There are also some words, she did not sue sΓΉ Lanyu. Zhu Xiaoqi will become a chess piece cleverly laid out by the Lan family in order to test the future power direction of the empire. He was like a pebble that he picked up by chance on the side of the road, about to be thrown into the calm lake of the imperial capital. At this time of the storm, the little turmoil he stirred up may set off a stormy wave.

Early in the morning, Zhu Xiaoqi was still asleep, and two guards pushed the door in.

"Get up, you can go!" one of them woke him up.

"Can you go?" Zhu Xiaoqi got up and asked in surprise.

"Yes, the person who picked you up is here. ”

"The person who picked me up?" Zhu Xiaoqi was at a loss. He has no relatives in Haiyue City, who will come to pick him up?

It couldn't be that Twilight Xuewei sent someone, right?

Out of the room, Zhu Xiaoqi didn't see the female soldiers of Dusk Xuewei.

The guards escorted him through the hallway to a fine garden, and then out of the courtyard through a small door at the edge of the garden. Between the two high walls, a long and narrow passage appeared in front of him, and several men dressed as civilians were already waiting here.

"Two masters, thank you for your hard work!" one of them, with a smile on his face, stuffed two golden tickets into the hands of the guards.

"I've handed it over to you, so let's go. One of the guards said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" The man glanced at the people around him, and the two big men strode forward, grabbed Zhu Xiaoqi from the left and the right, and walked out.

Zhu Xiaoqi seemed to be accustomed to being submissive, and did not struggle to resist, only silently looked at the few people who picked him up.

"This kid is honest and saves us a lot of trouble. After walking along the passage for a while, a big man in the lead glanced at Zhu Xiaoqi and said.

"Maybe Guan is stupid, right! Brother Zhang, how did this kid offend the young master? What kind of character is our young master, and is he qualified?" someone then asked.

"You haven't seen that scene!" the young master has been pitted by him...... "The big man who took the lead gradually lowered his voice.

As soon as his words fell, there was an exclamation. "Wouldn't it?" "How could it be?" "It's too bad!" "Young Master must kill him!"

After listening with his ears pricked up for a while, Zhu Xiaoqi's face suddenly turned pale. He understood, this group of people was the subordinate of that Wu battalion commander!

"Lao Tzu won't be killed by that piece of, will he?" he felt anxious in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his eyes and look around. At this time, how he longed to see the familiar figures of the female soldiers.

"Twilight Xuewei's people, are you the ones who can move?" A woman's voice like a heavenly voice came, and Li Xiaowan led a few female soldiers and walked out of an alley in front of her, blocking their way.

"Up!" The next moment, a word came out of her mouth faintly.

The female soldiers swept like an autumn wind, swept away Zhu Xiaoqi, leaving a few people who were covered in scars and lying on the ground moaning endlessly.

"Captain, they draw my blood every day!"

"Captain, they forced me to eat big fish and meat every day, and they almost didn't oil me to death!"

"Captain, this surnamed Wu is too ruthless, a small misunderstanding, he actually wants my life!"

A group of phoenixes walked away, followed by a dirt suffocator, chattering and chattering as they crawled.
