Chapter 428: It's Back Again
At the beginning, about the military order, the eldest prince Xia remembered it clearly, and in that dark study, his father was sitting in front of him.
The real room was so big, and there were only the father and son present, and it was indeed impossible for anyone else to exist.
It is even said that there is not a single figure in the courtyard outside the house, and it is because of the importance of the matter that all the neighborhoods that have been emptied early.
There is no possibility that it will be heard by the people in the courtyard, and there will be no long-tongued women who will spread it indiscriminately, and judging from the news from the outside, those people all spread the word that they have noses and eyes, and do not have a little false appearance.
Even if he was a pig in Xia Ming, he could think that there must be someone who really understood the situation and revealed the news.
As for the purpose of the other party, don't say anything about the other party, Xia Ming sighed in his heart, who else could there be besides his father.
Since the news has spread all over the city, there is naturally only one possibility, which is to make his military order confirm.
"I'm your son, why are you like this, why are you like this, why are you like this? The Boss looked up at the sky slightly, and let out a long sigh from his mouth.
There is still one last day before the day of handing over the second brother, that is, this moment tomorrow afternoon, which is the last moment.
"General, if you truthfully report the matter of the old ancestral court to the head of the family before, the matter of your military order should be dealt with lightly, after all, Ye Yao knows how to be flexible. ”
The straight man who was still standing in the middle, standing with his hands on his pants, was a little apprehensive for a while, and said comfortingly.
"Deal with it lightly?" the eldest prince repeated again when he heard this, and his eyes showed a bit of thought.
Not long ago, on that day, he personally led people to the location of the Old Ancestral Court, because all the locations in the entire Hongguang City had been eliminated, and the rest was the most likely to be the Old Ancestral Court.
So he attached great importance to it, and personally led the team, not to mention, but also brought all his right-hand men.
The result was that he was both hopeful and disappointed, and under the pressure of several clan elders above him, he turned the old ancestral court over, and really let them discover the secret passage and dark room.
Moreover, there are clothes, food, and water stored in the dark room, so at first glance it is not an ordinary cellar, but is prepared for hiding and escaping.
Some signs also clearly show that even the place where the second brother cultivated, there are also traces of his previous stay.
But damn it, it's all to this extent, everything has been found, and the final position has been determined, but the second kid's person is gone!
That is, it is just more than a day late, and it would be better if it came a day earlier than a day in the morning, the eldest prince thought with regret in his heart.
At the same time, he couldn't figure out where the second person fled after leaving the dark room, but one thing is for sure, since the other party dared to abandon this territory, he must have found a better place.
Even, maybe his person is no longer in Hongguang City.
This is the worst case, if the other party leaves the dark room, but the people are still in the city, there is still hope, and the people are not in the city, and the eldest prince has no hope of finding his person in this life.
So after that, the eldest prince tried his best to suppress the complicated emotions in his heart, and quickly sent people to guard the major entrances, and even launched a carpet search.
You must find out your second brother, even if you drag it out any longer, even if you don't have this military order, the people in the city will have to complain.
It's a pity that it backfired, and to this day, there is no news of the second child, and the other party seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
Later, he was already thinking about second-hand preparations, that is, how to euphemistically solve the matter of the military order, after all, it was only him and his father in the house, so there was still room for relaxation.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye he would hear the news of the storm in the city, which made him not angry.
The emotions that have been suppressed for so many days have completely exploded in this small room.
But after the outbreak, you still have to face the things you have to face.
Yes, maybe there is still the possibility of lenient treatment, after all, I found out about the situation of the old ancestral court, and it is not that there is nothing to gain.
Thinking of this, the eldest prince's heart felt a little better, after all, not to mention the last day, and it was not like there was no way out.
After a long exhalation, the eldest prince waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go out." ”
"Huh. The man agreed, stepped back and walked out of the door, not only the eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief, but also he, a subordinate, breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the mansion of the eldest prince, he still needs to deploy those people to continue to search for the second prince.
Recently, this matter has been a headache for the eldest prince.
At first, all the patrol guards, all the big and small officials, as long as they were the officials under the eldest prince, there was no one who did not pay attention to them.
I thought that as long as I could make a little achievement in this matter, I would definitely be promoted by the eldest prince in the future, and it was hard to say that I would even be a confidant.
It was all a lot of effort at that time, especially a few days ago, it took Lao Niu's nose a lot of effort.
But his grandmother's time was too long, and as time went on, those people actually felt that there was no hope in their hearts.
It's just that under the high-pressure supervision of the eldest prince, he still doesn't dare to slack off.
But he was bitter as the chief inspector, and on the first day of the incident, when the eldest prince appointed him as the chief inspector of this operation, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
Walking on the road, from time to time, someone threw jealous glances at him from behind, not to mention how beautiful he was at that time.
But until now, he has a torment in his heart, just like now.
No matter how hard it is, you have to finish it, and there are still many people to arrange after that.
But in fact, it's all this time, and there is still something to check.
In short, he couldn't think of anything suspicious, so he could only finish things step by step according to the instructions of the eldest prince.
didn't go far, he passed by Xia Lingling's mansion and subconsciously glanced back.
I have some doubts in my heart, how many days have passed, and the young lady's injuries have not healed, and I haven't seen the eldest prince ask the young lady to help.
He remembered very well before that the relationship between their brother and sister was very good.
Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, and continued to walk forward.
And after he left, the door of the Xia family's eldest lady's mansion behind him was quietly opened, and Zhou Xiangwen, who was dressed in dazzling satin, stretched his waist and stood at the door.
Looking up at the clear sky, he yawned a long time, Zhou Xiangwen came back to his senses after a while, blinked his sleepy eyes, and remembered that the young lady had told him something to do.
pinched his eyebrows, which were still a little swollen and painful, and he had a headache when he thought of it.
It's probably tomorrow, Miss needs to go and hand over the second son to the eldest son, of course, the second son can't be sent directly to the eldest son's mansion by the young lady, that would be too stupid.
And isn't this clearly telling the other party that the second son has always been in my hands, and deliberately let you run around the city.
Therefore, he will inevitably tear his face with the eldest prince, and before his fledgling, he can't do such a tough thing.
It's also a matter of time before you tear your face, but definitely not now.
Since you don't want to tear your face, you have to arrange a good place for the second son, and it must be very confidential, that is, the eldest prince's people have searched the whole city for so long and haven't noticed it.
Previously, Xia Lingling originally thought that the second brother would be sent back wherever he came from, and then inform the eldest brother to go to the Old Ancestral Court to find out, but now that his eldest brother has been there, he can only find another wonderful location.
And this wonderful position, Xia Lingling couldn't think of it for the time being, such a great and arduous task naturally fell on Zhou Xiangwen.
He has raised so many strange people under his hands, after all, he has to come in handy at a critical time.
Originally, if he just asked Zhou Xiangwen to think about this matter, it would really be a bit difficult for him.
After all, in the entire city, if the eldest prince had not searched it, it would not be easy to arrange the second son Xia Yizhang so naturally.
But when he remembered the people under him, his eyes immediately lit up.
That person had helped Liu Yuan before, and he had run around underground, and now he used it again, and it was not difficult to settle the second son.
But now was not the time, and he knew that it would be better to go to that subordinate at night.
There is no hurry now, Zhou Xiangwen took a few steps forward, found a tavern at random, and drank two cups first.
After leaving the inn, Liu Yuan didn't stay all the way, he had been in Hongguang City for so long, he had seen everything he should see, almost every big city in the south was the same block, and there were no unusual things.
He quickened his pace, just to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed man the man who wanted to see him was so mysterious.
The most critical point is that Liu Yuan thought about it all the way, and he didn't figure out who the man who wanted to see him was.
He didn't remember that there were any other acquaintances in Hongguang City here besides Zhou Gongzi.
I was anxious about the address in my mind, and I asked two people along the way, and when I finally arrived at the place, Liu Yuan stood outside the alley and frowned.
This is a very narrow, even a little dirty alley, a lot of debris is piled up in front of the door, and there is still water in the alley on rainy days, mixed with sand and soil to form a sludge alley.
Before he walked in, Liu Yuan already smelled a musty smell in his nose, and his brows furrowed even deeper.
Before he walked in, he had already imagined that after walking in, he would definitely step on a foot in the mud, could it be difficult to enter an alley, and use light skills?
Now Liu Yuan has begun to wonder if the person who wants to see him has recognized the wrong person, or whether the innkeeper has made a mistake.
But everyone came, and he couldn't help but go in, so Liu Yuan could only pinch his nose and admit it, and flew in without touching the ground, fluttering like a leaf, and landed in front of the door.
Who would have thought that he would use the deciduous technique.
Bang Bang on the heavy wooden door, knocked hard three times, if the people inside were really mistaken, then Liu Yuan even had the heart to tear down the door panel.
That is, after thinking for a moment, the wooden door opened, looking at the smiling face of the person who opened the door, Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Why are you back again?"
"Why, no. Zhao Changjing smiled slightly, said and let go of the road behind him and said, "Let's talk about it first." ”
After Liu Yuan entered, Zhao Changjing cautiously probed his brain and looked around, and after finding that there was no tail, he closed the wooden door again with a click.
Yes, when he picked up the corpse at the foot of the mountain that night, he went into the city again, but in order to avoid being discovered by the Xia family, his identity has changed.
That's not a big deal for him.
"I said, how did you find such a hellish place? Standing in the middle of the room, Liu Yuan looked around twice and then turned around and asked, he had already felt that there were other people in the room just now.
"Haha, it's not to keep it mysterious, no one is going to come to this place, and you know those patrol guards are crazy. Zhao Changjing explained casually, followed a few steps forward, and said, "I asked you to come to see someone." ”
"Who?" Liu Yuan had already thought of, it must be the person in the house.
Zhao Changjing didn't answer, just walked straight to the door of the house, stretched out his hand and pushed the door and walked in, after entering the house, the room was not big, and Liu Yuan saw the man lying on the bed at a glance.
His eyes were surprised, and he opened his mouth and whispered: "Xiao Chu!"
Just this shout, Zhao Changjing was stunned, and he looked at Liu Yuan hesitantly and asked, "What's the matter, you can also know this person?"
"I said that you Liu Da shopkeeper is worthy of opening an inn, and making friends all over the world. ”
"It's a long story. Liu Yuan didn't explain, shook his head, stepped forward, and reached out on Xiao Chu's wrist. Just by looking at the situation, he knew that the latter was seriously injured.
Lying on the hospital bed, his eyes still closed, even when he came in, there was no reaction.
"Don't look at it, if it weren't for me, this person would have died on the side of the road, and now he has only been saved by me, and it will take some time to completely recover. ”
Zhao Changjing couldn't hear any emotional ups and downs in his tone, but said a little flatly.
And the results of Liu Yuan's examination are not much different from what Zhao Changjing said.
"Do you know his identity?" After letting out a sigh of relief, Liu Yuan withdrew his hand.
Seeing Xiao Chu like this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but fortunately, Xiao Chu's life was saved.
"Do you think that if I didn't know his identity, I would have rescued him and called you over. Zhao Changjing shrugged his shoulders and said, "I look like I'm good at charity?"
As soon as Zhao Changjing finished saying this, the two glanced at each other, and they both knew what they were going to talk about next.
