After Yaojuan turned to leave, Lei Yuan hurriedly opened the box, he took out the white chess pieces and counted them several times, but the result was not as Yaojuan said, black and white, this is still a complete set of chess, and there is no lack of pieces.

He stared at the chess pieces on the table, and thought about it for a long time, she had some sarcasm in her words, saying like chess pieces, but not chess pieces, when he remembered what happened in the Baili Clan that day, Lei Yuan stood up abruptly and shouted outside: "Come on! Guan Yuan!"

Guan Yuan, who was guarding outside the hall, saw Yao Yuan leaving the hall, and when he was wondering, he heard Lei Yuan's summons, and he hurriedly walked in.

Lei Yuan looked a little nervous, looked at Guan Yuan and said, "Guan Yuan, you go to the guest room immediately and invite Miss Yaowan to come to Tai'an Palace." ”

Guan Yuan looked at Lei Yuan's expression and thought that there was something important, so he hurriedly responded: "Yes, my subordinates will go here." Then he quickly retreated.

He hurried to Yao's house and knocked on the door, but no one answered in the room.

When I pushed the door in, I found that the room was empty.

Guan Yuan had no choice but to come out, found the maid outside and asked, "Where has Miss Yaowan gone, why is she not in the room?"

The maid replied, "After I came back, I said that I was going to the concubine, so I left in a hurry, you go to the concubine to find it." ”

Guan Yuan went to the concubine's dormitory and asked about Yaojuan's whereabouts, but the palace people shook their heads one after another, Guan Yuan couldn't, so he could only go in and ask the concubine, the concubine was sitting in front of the dresser to pack up her jewelry, and when she saw Guan Yuan coming in, she said enthusiastically: "Why is Guan Yuan here?"

Guan Yuan saluted and said: "Concubine Wang, Your Royal Highness is in a hurry to find Miss Yao, I just heard that she is here with you, so Guan Yuan came here to look for her." ”

The concubine exclaimed, "She's been here, but I haven't seen her." ”

Guan Yuan said: "Does the princess know where she went?"

The concubine hurriedly shook her head and said, "Isn't she in her room? ”

Guan Yuan's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Weichen still has to go to Tai'an Hall to resume his life, so he won't bother the princess." ”

After Guan Yuan left the concubine's dormitory, he hurried back to the Tai'an Palace, he pushed open the door of the Tai'an Palace, and told Lei Yuan the news that he had been looking for in the palace and couldn't find it, Lei Yuan suddenly overturned the box containing the white jade chess on the table and threw it on the ground, the box fell to the ground, and the chess pieces in the box also splashed out, rolling from all corners of the palace, and a few of them rolled all the way to Guan Yuan's feet.

When Guan Yuan squatted down to pick it up, Lei Yuan said sharply: "Don't pick it up." ”

Guan Yuan hurriedly stood up, but his eyes kept looking at the chess pieces under his feet, and after a moment, he raised his head, looked at Lei Yuan with confusion and asked, "Why did Your Highness lose such a temper?"

Lei Yuan looked at the chess pieces scattered all over the place, lowered his head and was silent, and after a long time, he raised his head, looked at Guan Yuan, and said helplessly: "I have nothing to do here, you go out first." ”

Guan Yuan glanced at Lei Yuan with some hesitation, seeing his annoyed face, he didn't want to bother him anymore, so he had to reply: "Weichen retreats." ”

When Guan Yuan withdrew, he looked at Lei Yuan's somewhat pale face for unknown reasons, full of suspicion: Not long ago, when he went in to help Yao Yuan borrow the white jade chess pieces, His Royal Highness was not very happy, but it was definitely not the way it is now, did Miss Fang Yaowan say something to His Royal Highness that should not be said, so that His Royal Highness was unhappy?

He thought about the situation just now, His Royal Highness knocked the most precious chess piece on weekdays to the ground, and didn't let himself pick it up, could this matter be related to the white jade chess piece?

Guan Yuan was full of questions, he just wanted to quickly figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing, as soon as he came out of the Tai'an Palace, he found someone to guard outside the door, and he immediately went out of the royal city and rushed to the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain, the only way to leave the mountain.

He found the guard guarding the mountain gate and asked, "Have you been guarding here, is there anything unusual at the foot of the mountain?"

The guard saluted Guan Yuan, and then replied respectfully: "General Hui, the little one has been on duty here, everything is normal here, and nothing unusual has happened." ”

Guan Yuan continued to ask, "Then have you ever seen anyone coming out of here?"

The guard thought for a moment and replied, "There is a girl who came down from the mountain and was very anxious to go out, she said that she was a guest invited by the concubine, and now she has something very important to do and wants to leave the mountain. ”

Guan Yuan hurriedly asked, "Do you remember when it was, and how long has she been gone?"

The guard replied, "It must have been more than half an hour ago." ”

Guan Yuan groaned: "Half an hour ago, she really left the mountain without saying goodbye." ”

Seeing the uncertain look on Guan Yuan's face, the guard suddenly became a little nervous, and he asked with some anxiety: "What's wrong with the general?" But the identity of that girl is suspicious?"

Guan Yuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, you guys should be on an errand, and if there is any situation, report it immediately." ”

The guard bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

Guan Yuan glanced in the direction of the mountain gate, then turned around and returned to the palace.

When he arrived at the Tai'an Palace, the guards outside the door told him that His Royal Highness was in a hurry, and Guan Yuan hurriedly pushed the door in.

The chess pieces on the ground had been cleaned up, Lei Yuan's expression had returned to normal, and when he saw Guan Yuan, his expression was already very flat: "Where did you just go?"

Guan Yuan saluted and replied, "I just went to the mountain gate to see if there is anything abnormal at the foot of the mountain." ”

Lei Yuan said: "I have something important here, you can put other things on hold for the time being." ”

Guan Yuan asked, "What's the matter?"

Lei Yuan said: "Tonight, you go to the Demon Capital with me." ”

Guan Yuan hurriedly dissuaded: "Not long ago, the mountain fought with the royal army of Yuyu, at this time, the Demon Capital King City must be heavily guarded, what is the important thing for His Highness to risk going to the Demon Capital at this time?"

Lei Yuan sat down, pointed to a broken cloth on the table and said, "I know what you're worried about, but no matter what, this trip is a must." A letter came from the second brother's mansion just now, saying that Yu Yu seems to have made some new moves in the past few days, and he is now trapped in the mansion and has no way to find out the news. Yu Yu is full of eyeliner in the second brother's house, in order to prevent Yu Yu from being suspicious of the second brother, it is better for us to go in person. ”

Guan Yuan nodded and said: "It's nothing to go to the demon capital, but a few days ago, General Nan was seriously injured to defend the palace city, and now he has not recovered, as soon as we leave, I am afraid that no one will come to defend the city." ”

Lei Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this, I have called my secret guard back, and he will take care of everything during the time we are gone." ”

Guan Yuan said with confidence: "Since Your Highness has already made arrangements, it is the best." He looked at Lei Yuan's eyes and continued: "When Weichen went to the foot of the mountain, the guard guarding the mountain said that Miss Yaojuan left the mountain in a hurry, and if His Highness had anything important to do with her, Weichen could get her back. ”

Lei Yuan sighed lightly and said with a gloomy expression: "Forget it, let her go." ”

Guan Yuan said: "Then Weichen go and prepare." ”

Lei Yuan waved his hand lightly and did not speak again.

Guan Yuan quietly retreated.

Lei Yuan stared at the box containing the chess pieces for a long time, and suddenly felt very bored, so he randomly found a handkerchief in the hall and covered it on the box.

Lei Yuan and Guan Yuan set off in the deep twilight, and when the setting sun cast the last rays of afterglow, the two quickly disappeared into the clouds.

Lu Luan's mansion was surrounded by Wang Jun's iron wall like an iron wall, and there was not even a trace of crack in the middle.

Dressed in a plain brocade dress, sitting in the gazebo in the garden, leisurely picking up a cup of tea, sipping gently, around the pavilion, two men dressed as waiters stood straight, although the two people stood in different directions, but the eyes of the two stared at the pavilion intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Luan didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and when he saw that the tea in the teapot in front of him had bottomed out, he quickly turned to the two and said, "This tea doesn't taste good today, you go and get me a pot of wine." ”

The two men looked at each other, and after a while, one of the men stepped forward, bowed to Lu Luan and said, "Second Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." ”

Lu Luan turned around, looked at the waiter who was talking for a long time, and suddenly raised his hand, and the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground with a sound and shattered.

The two immediately lowered their heads and said no more.

After Lu Luan sighed, he looked at the two people not far away with an expressionless face and said: "Although I am the son and son of the first king, but the prince brother can't tolerate me after all, and put me under house arrest in this square wall, I am now just a powerless prince, if the prince thinks that I have committed something wrong, he can just put me in prison, and he can't send someone here to stare at me all day long, in this way, you are tired, I am not comfortable, and everyone is not happy, why bother?"

The man on the left hurriedly bowed his waist and stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness has misunderstood, the king sent us here to serve His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness wants to drink, so my two brothers will help His Highness move here." ”

Lu Luan snorted coldly: "You can observe words and looks, and your ability to see the wind and rudder is not bad." ”

The man bowed his head in silence.

After glaring at the two of them fiercely, Lu Luan looked sideways and said, "Go get a pot of good wine and cook a few good dishes." ”

The man hurriedly responded, "Second Highness, wait for a moment. After that, the two whispered something and quickly left from a bluestone path next to them.

After the two men left one after another, Lu Luan stood up and looked around cautiously, and then he said in a low voice to the corner of the wall, "Go to the dormitory and wait for me first." ”
