It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and this kind of fairy-like days only passed for less than two months, and Duan Yingsi told him that they were leaving Luzhou Mansion.

Ding Yu's heart moved, is this about to go back to Dali to seize the throne? He asked, "Master, where are we going?"

Duan Yingsi smiled and didn't answer directly, only saying that he was going to do something he wanted to do many years ago.

What I wanted to do years ago - it's not what it is!

After getting along for two months, he has a general understanding of Duan Yingsi's character: although he has been imprisoned for more than ten years, he still does not lose his imperial temperament, and although his mind is extremely smart, once he recognizes an idea, he will insist on going his own way and will not listen to opposing opinions.

He had vaguely hinted to Duan Yingsi that Murong Longcheng might have other plans several times, but Duan Yingsi didn't care, and even felt a little unhappy later. In this way, Ding Yu did not dare to easily reveal Murong Longcheng's conspiracy and disposition, so Duan Yingsi still trusted Murong Longcheng until now.

According to Ding Yu's previous guess, once Duan Yingsi succeeded in seizing the throne, it would not be far from "accidental death", but he hadn't figured out what means Murong Longcheng would use to take Duan Yingsi's life, maybe it was to forcibly attack and kill after success, and it was even possible that in the process of seizing the throne, he began to secretly poison Gu. In short, from now on, he has to wake up his spirit and prepare to deal with the secret hand of the Murong clan.

Two days later, the group took two carriages and set off from the Luzhou palace in the early morning. Among them were Murong Longcheng's father and son, Gongye, Deng, and Feng, Wang Zhaoquan's second and third sons, Wang Shiping and Wang Shi'an, Duan Yingsi and Ding Yu, and two coachmen who were familiar with the road.

The two carriages drove all the way to the northeast, and Ding Yu was a little puzzled: Dali is in the southwest of Luzhou, why is it going the opposite way?

At first, he thought that he was just going to make a detour to do some important things, but the carriage never changed its direction, from Luzhou to Gongzhou, and then through Kuizhou, which lasted more than a month, and finally entered the dense forest of Daba Mountain in the southwest of Xiangzhou.

After that, the group abandoned the car and rode horses, continued to travel east from the mountain road, and finally stopped in the suburbs of Fang County.

Murong Longcheng and Duan Yingsi walked to the side and discussed in a low voice, and then Duan Yingsi walked back and said to Ding Yu: "Ke'er, for the teacher, I want to do a big thing with your Uncle Murong Shi, and I will return in one or two days, you and the Wang brothers and others are here to watch the horses, once we come back, we will immediately set off to return to Daba Mountain." ”

Ding Yu knew at this time that the purpose of this trip was definitely not to seize the throne, which meant that Duan Yingsi's life would not be in danger for the time being, but he was still a little curious: "I don't know if the apprentice may accompany him?"

Duan Yingsi shook his head and said, "This matter should be handled secretly and quickly, and it is inconvenient for many people." Besides, you have been in the mountains for a long time, and your skills are not as good as ours, but now you are inevitably tired, so you can rest here with peace of mind, and then you will continue to hurry. ”

Ding Yu saw Duan Yingsi's resolute attitude, so he no longer insisted on it. On the other side, Murong Longcheng also arranged for manpower, and took out a few human skin masks from the carriage and handed them to Duan Yingsi, Murong Qi and Gongye Zhi, and the four of them put on masks, changed into ordinary peasant clothes, and went to Fangzhou City.

Fan Yong, who is six in his Chinese New Year's Eve, has been following his father to learn martial arts since he was a child, and when he reached the year of the weak crown, he has already reached the first-class level, and is now one of the head of the guards in King Zheng's mansion, leading the nine-rank Chengjielang (military attaché rank).

To be a military attache in the palace at such an age, it stands to reason that it is already commendable - if there is no word King Zheng in front of him.

Even if you don't know the identity of King Zheng, as long as you take a look at King Zheng's mansion from a distance, you can already know how unpopular this King Zheng is with the officials.

King Zheng's Mansion is located in the most remote northwest corner of Fangzhou City, opposite the Baokang Army barracks stationed in Fangzhou. The outer courtyard wall is one foot and two feet high, and there is only one gate to enter and exit. In the middle of the courtyard is a one-story square mansion, built of thick granite, with only one air window left in each room.

At the four corners of the house, there are also four guard towers, on which sergeants from the Baokang army take turns to keep watch. And he and another guard leader, Zhao Bing, are responsible for guarding the gate, not letting people in the mansion come out, and not allowing idle people to wait in.

Yes, the so-called King Zheng's Mansion is actually a heavily guarded prison. And he, the so-called head of the guards, is actually a prison guard.

In the past ten years, he used most of his money to bribe Shangguan and try to transfer him out of the border army, believing that with his martial arts, as long as he stayed in the border army for a year or two, he would definitely be able to get ahead and be a wife and son. It's a pity that his silver is gone, and the transfer of any one has always been silent, and finally smoothed out his ambitions one by one.

Fortunately, five years ago, he was pleased to get Lin'er, this son was born with strong bones and long limbs, and at a glance he knew that it was a good material for martial arts. He plans to pass on all his martial arts skills to his son, who will fulfill his ambition back then.

On this day, after he got off duty, he walked all the way home and pondered how to lay a foundation for his son. As soon as he walked to the entrance of the alley, the neighbor's aunt next door came forward and asked, "Fan Guanren, why did you come back alone, didn't your lady take the child to see you?"

Fan Yong was shocked: "Mother Li, how can you say this? I have been on duty in King Zheng's mansion all day, why did my lady come to see me?"

When Li's mother heard this, she was puzzled: "How can this be? At noon today, two soldiers wearing Baokang army uniforms came to your house, saying that you suddenly fainted while you were on duty, and they carried you to the barracks for the camp doctor to treat, and the doctor said that the illness was dangerous, so let the family come to see you first, otherwise it would be too late." So your lady took the child and hurried away with the two soldiers. ”

Fan Yong was so shocked that cold sweat rippled, how could he ever faint in evil? And how could he have been treated by the camp doctor? Needless to say, he must have met human traffickers!

He didn't care about talking to Li's mother anymore, ran home in three or two steps, looked around, and sure enough, his wife and children were gone, and there was an unsealed letter on the table in the middle of the hall, which read: Fan Jielang's feet, foolishly admire Your Excellency's martial arts character, and want to invite Your Excellency to drink and talk at Xiyuan Restaurant tonight. I am afraid that Your Excellency will abandon you, so I will invite your wife and children to entertain you at our place, and I hope you will forgive me for the rudeness.

After reading it, Fan Yong was shocked and angry, knowing that his wife and children must have been taken captive by the person who wrote the letter, he had the intention to report to the official, and he was worried that his wife and children's lives would not be guaranteed, so he was entangled, and when Li's mother walked into the hall, she saw Fan Yong's face turned white, so she asked: "Fan Guanren, but what happened to the lady and child?"

Fan Yong put the letter away and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, probably a colleague is joking with me." ”

Later, he went to the barracks again, and asked if two soldiers had left the camp, and after receiving a negative answer, he finally determined that his wife and children had been arrested by some unknown gangsters. I have no choice but to meet them tonight and make plans!) )
