It's a cold month, and it's a lonely street.

The swaying lights of the watchman dodged in the wind, Mo Yunxiao rushed by, a gust of wind came with him, and the lights of the watchman were immediately extinguished.

The watchman leaned forward, looked at Mo Yunxiao's distant back, and sighed: "The people's hearts are not ancient, women run alone at night, in Tokyo City, in addition to the female Yama, there is such a person who does not know the depths." Alas......"

Sighing in vain, the husband took out the fire fold, held the wind with one hand and lit the oil lamp with the other, and continued to beat the gong.

At this time, it was the fourth watch, and the cold wind swept the confetti and broken leaves.

From the square in front of Xuande Building, along the Heavenly Street, the whole city of Tokyo is quiet, only a watchman with a little firefly-like light is moving slowly, and there is a figure shuttling rapidly.

There were two lanterns lit in front of the door of the Ming Building, and Zhang Yun'er wandered anxiously in front of the steps.

She went to sleep in Yilanju under the persuasion of everyone, but she only slept for less than half an hour before she woke up from her dream, and then got out of bed in her clothes, and hurried to the gate with the support of Danzhu and green jade, and looked at Zhang Huang.

"Second grandma, it's windy outside, let's go back and wait." Danzhu persuaded: "The eldest girl, Mrs. Wei, they are all out, and they will come back to report as soon as they have news, and they will not be mistaken." ”

"Nope! I'm going to wait here, for my Xiang'er to come back. Zhang Yun'er waved her hand and searched around.

In fact, the whole street was empty, and she almost reached the end at a glance, Zhang Yuner still stood on tiptoe, regardless of how grinding her feet were with her "wrong feet".

"Forget it, Sister Danzhu." The green jade pulled the sleeve of Danzhu's clothes, which stopped her, who wanted to persuade her again: "Let the second grandmother look at it here, and look at it here, so that she can feel at ease." ”

Danzhu's eyes suddenly contained tears, wiped his reddened eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "It's all small and bad, I didn't take a good look at my girl, otherwise...... Otherwise......"

When she was about to cry, she suddenly heard Zhang Yun'er cry in surprise: "Oops! Xiang'er is back! ”

The second daughter couldn't help but be taken aback, and when she looked around, sure enough, there was a woman rushing towards this side.

They couldn't help clapping their hands and cheering: "Is it really the second girl?" ”

But the woman ran closer, and the three of them understood that the person who came was not the second girl Yunxiang, but the eldest girl Mo Yunxiao.

Zhang Yun'er's already warm heart cooled down at this moment, and her eyes were full of disappointment.

Mo Yunxiao rushed to them, and the two maids naturally bowed, and she also bowed half to Zhang Yun'er.

Zhang Yun'er was stunned for a while, according to the rules of the time, the status of the concubine was only slightly higher than that of the slave maid, and she could be regarded as a "subordinate", Mo Yunxiao, as the daughter of the Mo family, did not have to salute her, and she did not salute before, but now it is the first time in the world, how can she not be surprised?

"Helu ......" Zhang Yun'er hurriedly helped her. She forced tears into her eyes and asked, "Is there any news of Xiang'er?" ”

Mo Yunxiao was a little embarrassed, so she had to say: "I went to the palace, but I encountered some twists and turns, but I am afraid that the official family will not be able to count on it." ”

"Alas, the royal family is mean and unkind." Zhang Yun'er sighed and said in a tone that was half resentful and half complaining.

Mo Yunxiao ignored it, and just asked Danzhu and Green Jade: "How?" Is there a change in the family? ”

"No, I didn't." The two shook their heads at the same time, and Danzhu continued: "Mrs. Wei, the lady of the Li family, and the sister-in-law Song of Fan Lou have all gone out to find someone, and there have been three or four changes, and there has been no reply." ”

Mo Yunxiao bit her lip fiercely, and thought to herself: "There is no news from so many people looking for it, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious." ”

"yes." Green Jade also said: "The second girl has always been timid, the family knows it, there has never been a time when she didn't return all night, even the street was on fire on the day of the fourth watch, and the second girl ...... her."

Mo Yunxiao hurriedly glanced at her and motioned for her not to say any more.

Green Jade also sensed that something was wrong, and immediately stopped, and did not forget to glance at Zhang Yun'er with the rest of her eyes.

Zhang Yun'er had already lost her master, and she didn't care much about the words of the green jade, but just clinged to Mo Yunxiao tightly, like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw.

"Helu, although your sisters have always been at odds, but they are also your father's flesh and blood, Helu, I only beg you, I know that only you can save Xiang'er."

Zhang Yun'er said that she was about to kneel down for Mo Yunxiao, how could Mo Yunxiao accept her gift, she could only hold her up, and comforted her bitterly: "Second grandma doesn't have to be like this, I will definitely go all out to find it." Danzhu green jade! ”

She was powerless to help Zhang Yun'er up, and hurriedly greeted the two maidservants, saying, "Don't hold the second grandmother yet!" ”

The two hurriedly came up to help, but Zhang Yun'er had already cried into a tearful person, and the howling sound resounded throughout the street, and her body was too weak to stand up.

Even if three people came to pick it up, they couldn't help it, so they could only comfort it with gentle words.

Mo Yunxiao stretched out her hand and looked at Zhang Yun'er who was kneeling in front of her, and swept away all the mustard that she usually had.

She just said, "I must get Yunxiang back!" ”

Just then, she heard the sound of a horse's hooves, and a light quickly spread behind her.

She hurriedly looked back and saw a group of cavalry galloping towards her, led by a general in gold armor, and Zhang Di walking with him.

This gold-armored general is not a raw face, a large face, with high cheekbones and sharp edges, especially the eyes that still shine in the dark night make people feel scared when they look at it more.

It's just that Mo Yunxiao looked at it for a while, and only felt that this person was familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

However, he had already dismounted and walked in front of Mo Yunxiao in a few steps, and the cavalry behind him also dismounted one after another and followed the military attaché.

Since the disaster of raiding the house, Green Jade and Danzhu were scared when they saw the soldiers, and when they saw them forcing up, they couldn't help but drag Zhang Yun'er back a few steps.

Only Mo Yunxiao stood alone with his hands behind his back. Her awe-inspiring fearlessness makes sense.

She knew that the soldiers of the forbidden army would never act like this without Zhao Ji's order, and Zhao Ji would never do anything unfavorable to herself.

The general came to him, suddenly knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and said: "I am the commander of the horse infantry guard of the forbidden army in the big house, Ma Youxian, and I have obtained the official edict, and I have come to investigate the case!" ”

As he spoke, the soldiers of the forbidden army knelt down one after another, and the armor scales hit each other, making a shattering sound of "Ding Lingdang", like a torrential rain hitting the tiles and breaking beads to the ground.

"Investigating the case?" Mo Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this was also Zhao Ji's good intentions.

In the final analysis, the disappearance of the population is indeed a big case, and it also takes into account the face of the Mo family and the reputation of Yunxiang, I can't help but say that this is Zhao Ji's good intentions.

Just calling the forbidden army to assist him in investigating the case is a bit unruly. Mo Yunxiao's heart couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But at this time, she didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly helped Ma Youxian up, and said with a smile: "Commander Ma, where do we seem to have met?" ”

Ma Youxian also smiled and said: "The lady of the Mo family is very forgetful, and in the Jian Wangfu before, she had a relationship with the lady. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Yunxiao suddenly brightened up, laughed heartily, and said, "Oh! Yes! Thanks to the timely arrival of the horse commander that day, otherwise the slaves and the officials would have ...... Alas, it is really dangerous, and this time Arima Commander will help, and I believe that he will be able to succeed immediately. ”

Ma Youxian's expression was grim, and he said uprightly: "This is the order of the official royal pen, how dare you slack off your humble position?" The ladies of the Mo family don't have to be anxious, we will definitely do our best and die! ”

"That's not necessary, that'......s not necessary," Mo Yunxiao said politely.

Zhang Di was a little impatient, and urged: "Let's go or not!" Didn't you say looking for someone? If we delay any longer, the sky will be clear. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's eyes were attracted to him.

Seeing that he was still riding on a horse, neither dismounting nor saluting or talking to Mo Yunxiao, Ma Youxian only felt that it was inappropriate, so he walked over and said to him: "Zhang Neiguan, let's come down and salute first." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked left and right, put his hand to his mouth, and said softly: "The official family has repeatedly made exceptions for this Mo family lady, but I am afraid that she will also be a favored palace person in the future." Zhang Neiguan knows better than his humble position, right? ”

Zhang Di snorted and said, "So what? There has never been a precedent for the canonization of a merchant's daughter in our dynasty. The young man of the official family is enthusiastic, but he does not dare to break the law of his ancestors. What is there to worry about the edge of dew? ”

His words were said very loudly, clearly to let Mo Yunxiao hear them. Sure enough, not only Mo Yunxiao heard it, but Zhang Yun'er, Danzhu and Luyu also heard it, and the soldiers of the forbidden army also heard it.

"Zhang Neiguan!" Ma Youxian was extremely embarrassed, and scolded in his heart: "Eunuch Wang Baba!" I actually dismantled my platform! If you don't see that you are a person close to the official family, you will be whipped indispensably! ”

Zhang Yun'er also stopped crying and shouted: "Helu! ”

Mo Yunxiao's face was flushed, her eyes widened angrily, even if she had restrained her temper a little, she couldn't help it at this time.

She didn't look back at Zhang Yun'er, but strode under Zhang Di's horse and looked up at him.

Zhang Di rode a famous horse from the Western Regions, and he was not afraid.

Ma Youxian looked at Zhang Di, and then at Mo Yunxiao, but he hesitated for a while, not knowing who to persuade.

Zhang Yun'er was sober, and hurriedly shouted: "Helu! Don't make trouble! ”

Zhang Di glanced at Zhang Yun'er's frightened expression, smiled proudly, and said, "Mo Yunxiao, you should also accept it...... Huh! What are you doing! ”

Before the words were finished, Mo Yunxiao suddenly reached out and pressed the horse's head, the horse was suddenly attacked, and he just wanted to raise his head, but just when it raised its four hooves and howled, Mo Yunxiao had already turned over and got on the horse.

Zhang Di was caught off guard and just wanted to push her down, but her hand was already held by her before she could press Mo Yunxiao's shoulder.

"Oops!" Zhang Di screamed, his body suddenly lost his center of gravity, and he was about to fall off the horse.

Ma Youxian and the others panicked and hurriedly came forward to pick him up. But Zhang Di did not fall.

Mo Yunxiao held his collar with one hand, flicked the horsewhip with the other, and shouted: "Drive!" ”

Da Wanju let out a long hiss, and ran away. Zhang Di thought that he would fall off the horse, but seeing that the mount had galloped wildly, he would not be injured if he fell off the horse at this time, so he could only firmly hold the horse's neck with both hands, and the collar was dragged by Mo Yunxiao, hanging on the side of the horse in a very indecent and strange posture, screaming again and again.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and Danzhu and Green Jade screamed again and again.

Ma Youxian was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted: "Quick! Launched! Pursue! ”

When the forbidden army was getting on the horse, Mo Yunxiao had already run back with him.

The horse had stopped, Zhang Di also fell down with a "poof", and only after two heels did he get up in embarrassment, his hat fell off, and his hair was scattered, completely looking depressed and palpitating.

Ma Youxian hated that he didn't show mercy to himself just now, and he didn't reach out to help, just watched silently.

"Helu! You ......" Before Zhang Yun'er finished speaking, she rolled her eyes and fainted due to excessive fright.

Danzhu and Luyu hurriedly held her up, and said to Mo Yunxiao while calling, "Big girl! The second grandmother fainted. ”

"If you're too frightened, just help me go back and rest for the night." Mo Yunxiao turned over and dismounted, said this sentence unhurriedly, and then paced to Zhang Di's side.

Zhang Di was stained with a layer of dust, and his appearance was extremely embarrassed, but he didn't dare to look at her more.

Mo Yunxiao walked over and stretched out his hand to dust him off, and Zhang Di was nervous.

"I entered the palace twice, and you covered it up for me, otherwise, you would have to ask you to hang some color." Mo Yunxiao whispered softly while dusting him, as if chattering.

"Yes, yes......" Zhang Di has become a frightened bird, his brain seems to have been temporarily short-circuited, his eyes are fluttering, and he looks stupid.

Zhang Di is a fox and a tiger on weekdays, but today is the first time to suffer a loss, and it is the first time that the officers and soldiers of the ban have seen his embarrassed appearance, they just want to laugh but dare not laugh.

Ma Youxian couldn't help but sigh: "I'd rather touch Kaifeng Mansion than Mo Yunxiao; I'd rather eat three buckets of vinegar than Mohelu. It seems that this is true. ”

Danzhu and Green Jade also settled down, and then took Zhang Yun'er back to the tea building.

Ma Youxian stepped forward and reminded: "The lady of the Mo family, Zhang Neiguan, the soldiers are very fast." ”

Mo Yunxiao glanced at him, nodded and said: "Yes, it's just that the slave has a few friends who are still going around handling cases for me, although we have a lot of manpower, but we can't help but inform them, otherwise it is inevitable to be injured by mistake, even if it is not injured by mistake, it will be in vain." ”

There is a good reason for that. Mrs. Wei and Li Qingzhao will never have less manpower than the forbidden soldiers, and most places in and out of the city must have been searched.

If this information can't be shared, Mo Yunxiao will inevitably have to take a few unjust trips even if he takes the forbidden army with him.

Ma Youxian frowned and pondered, paced back and forth a few steps, and asked, "Can you make an appointment to meet?" ”

"No, I didn't." Mo Yunxiao sighed and said, "The slaves have been trapped in the palace for a long time, and when they came out, they were gone. ”

Ma Youxian looked up, and suddenly saw the Wanghuo Tower not far away, and suddenly blessed his heart, stretched out his hand, and said: "Mo family lady, look at that!" ”

Mo Yunxiao looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a lantern burning on the firetower, emitting a light like fireflies.

"Wanghuo Tower?" She said with some confusion.
