Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.

"What the hell is going on? Didn't you tell me that your son was studying in Qinghe Cui's family? How did it end up in Jieli's hands now? ”

"Did you and Xiao Rui team up to deceive me?"

"If you don't make it clear today, you can't live this day, you will give the concubine to death......"

……

In the Lizheng Palace, all the chamberlains and maids were far away, but they could still vaguely hear the sound of quarrels one after another, of course, mostly the roar of the queen.

The emperor's head is big.

"Rong Zhen went back to find out? Now that the news has just come back, I don't know if it's true or not, you're so entangled, how long are you going to make trouble? Isn't Cheng Qian my son? Don't I want to save him? ”

The emperor couldn't bear it anymore and yelled angrily.

He also wanted to know, how could he be so good, not long ago he was still replying to the good news, and in the blink of an eye, his son was taken away by the Turks?

"Come on, go and call Xiao Rui back for me...... No! Catch it back! ”

The queen froze. Finally gradually calmed down, and if you look at it this way, the emperor doesn't seem to know what the situation is.

Li Er turned around and hugged the queen, and said softly: "Guanyin, I also want to save Chengqian." Now that the government and the opposition know that the prince is missing, there will definitely be a storm in Chang'an. The palace can't be chaotic anymore, don't you make trouble? Help me stabilize the harem. You know the severity, Cheng Qian is missing, and soon someone will be ready to move. I need your help, and we can only save my son if we work together. ”

The queen wiped her tears, knowing that she had lost her temper, and bowed to her husband with emotion, "Husband, rest assured, there are concubines here, and no one in the harem dares to mess up." ”

Xiao Rui was already on his way back to Luoyang from Youzhou, and the waiter Lao Gao's face was full of frustration and guilt.

Xiao Rui smiled and comforted: "Okay, it's all fate, don't cry with a sad face." Isn't it just a Turkic walk? What experience is not a grind? Back then, the first emperor returned Zhao as a hostage. With this experience, presumably Cheng Qian will no longer like the grassland style. ”

Lao Gao squeezed out a smile and said, "Master Ma, the old slave is not worried about His Royal Highness the Prince. I'm worried about you. If it weren't for the old slave's incompetence, which led to the disappearance of the prince, there would be no today. In order to save the lives of the old slave and all the secret guards, you will bear the blame with all your might......"

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "I have always believed that all people are created equal. At least equal in personality and dignity. ”

"It was my idea to go out to practice, and it was the emperor who made the decision. Since we dare to take risks, we should be prepared to bear all the consequences. If something happens, let the person who does the work take the blame, hehe, who will I Xiao Rui be? Who do you think of Your Majesty? ”

"It's not terrible for the prince to lose it, he just goes to the grassland to study abroad, and at most he loses some money or something. How? It was he who ran away from home without permission, was betrayed several times, and finally fell into the hands of the enemy, all of which were caused by Cheng Qian. Because this is going to kill you and these loyal guards? Human life is so worthless? ”

Lao Gao and a group of secret guards were moved by this and couldn't help but cry. Especially Lao Gao, who is accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world, knows the truth that human life is cheap. However, all the truths in the world, in front of the master of the horse, seem to be nothing, and he can always say other explanations, which is incompatible with this turbid world. Sometimes I really wonder, is he really a star in the sky?

"Master Pony, you are here to save our lives. But how can we not know what is good or bad? The lord humiliates the minister to death, the prince is lost, we deserve to die, this is the rule. For the sake of our group of subordinates, you go to confront Your Majesty, a bad one is a felony. If it affects you, we will die. Even if you survive, how can you feel at ease? ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I don't want to bother you, don't leave it here, your great kindness, I will repay it in the next life."

The guards looked at each other, knelt on their knees, and kowtowed to their heads.

Xiao Rui scolded sharply: "What? Don't even listen to Ben Hou's words? Before His Majesty's new will arrived, Ben Hou was still the commander-in-chief of this operation. All of you must obey the orders of Benhou. Whether it is life or death, Ben Hou has the final say. Without Benhou's order, you dare to die? Let's ask Hades if he dares to accept it! ”

The dark guards stopped, and they all looked at the inner servant Gao Gao.

Lao Gao sighed, and also knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Rui, "I'm sorry, Master Horse." ”

What??? Are you like them? Want to die?

Xiao Rui was so angry that he rushed up directly and kicked Lao Gao to the ground, "Confused!" The prince has been lost, so what's the use of you killing yourself collectively? Shame and courage, why not turn grief and anger into strength, wait for the opportunity, go into the grassland to rescue the hostages, and you can also atone for your sins. He was a martyr who died on the battlefield, and he had a military exploit. What is it to die like this? Sinner! Don't you have any family? ”

"Fifth brother, go to the Luoyang camp to transfer people, and take down all these foolish insects for me, who dare to resist?"

Lao Gao was dumbfounded, what kind of operation is this? Thinking about it, Master Horse has always been so lawless, no rules and conventions are necessarily good in front of him, he only recognizes his own rules.

Helpless, he could only stop Li Junxian, "That's it, we all listen to the arrangement of the master of the horse." General Li, don't bother to transfer troops, we won't run. ”

Xiao Rui said proudly: "That's right." Luoyang is in front of you, wait for us to enter the camp and temporarily join the cavalry team under General Su. Then there will be an opportunity for you to atone for your sins. ”

As soon as he pacified his subordinates, he was greeted by a herald rushing over, "Report, Chang'an urgent report, please take the order!" ”

Well? Xiao Rui and the others frowned slightly, our whereabouts are all covered, and we have always been secret guards to pass on messages, this kind of herald?

Stopped the formation, tidied up his clothes, and began to answer the order.

Xiao Rui was stupid after listening to the holy decree, I heard it right, arrest me back? Didn't you tell me to go back, or ask me to go back?

"Are you sure Your Majesty is talking about arrest?"

The herald lowered his voice and said, "That's right, Master Hou, your identity can't be revealed. So we have prepared a carriage for you, don't worry, we don't dare to be disrespectful to you. ”

Li Junxian unsheathed his knife and said sharply: "You dare? ”

"General Lee, we are acting on orders, and so is the will of God. If you don't use the torture equipment, you are already risking your life, you can't stop it anymore, you have to obey orders when you become a soldier, and the brothers have to have a way to live. We also know that Master Hou is a good person, but ......" the man pleaded earnestly.

Xiao Rui patted Li Junxian's shoulder, "Fifth brother, put the knife away." It's okay. This matter may not be the original intention of the saint, the news is known to the whole world, and someone must come out to bear this infamy. Perhaps His Majesty is also in a dilemma. ”

"But ......," Li Junxian said worriedly.

Xiao Rui smiled: "Don't worry, if you want to save the hostages back, you have to use me in the end, I will be fine." ”

"You stay, help me watch this group of foolish insects, and send them to the Luoyang camp safely, I can handle the affairs of Chang'an alone."

Li Junxian was most worried about, "Then your safety?" ”

Xiao Rui laughed loudly and said, "I think, since it is said that he will arrest me back, then His Majesty is more concerned about my safety." It just so happened that I was worried that I couldn't watch my son be born, but now I have a chance. ”

Seeing Xiao Rui get into the carriage and be taken away, everyone felt bad in their hearts, but Li Junxian was right, he couldn't let Hou Ye's sacrifice be innocent in vain, they all lived well, waiting for their guilt to make meritorious contributions.
