Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

Not far away from Ling Qingxuan, a man in green suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed him in the chest. Ling Qingxuan dodged sideways. After missing the blow, the man stabbed him again. At this time, the people present seemed to have woken up from a dream, and fled in all directions, shouting loudly.

At this time, four or five men in black emerged from the crowd and attacked Ling Qingxuan from all sides. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while. Some people were running around like headless flies, colliding into a ball, hitting trees, and even falling into the lake. Some people were so frightened that they paralyzed on the ground and couldn't get up.

Ling Qingxuan's own martial arts, coupled with the protection of the secret guards, even if the killer's martial arts is not as good as him, he can't stand up to our prince's large number of people, and he can subdue several killers in less than a moment. Seeing that the situation was over, the killers immediately bit the poison in their mouths and committed suicide.

Xuan Er: "Your Majesty, these are dead soldiers."

"Well, I didn't expect them either. Let's go and see Zeng Rui."

"Yes!"

Inside the magistrate's prison.

Zeng Rui squatted in the cell and shivered. He almost died! Although he knew that he was bound to die, he still held on to a little bit of hope.

Just half an hour ago, the prison was broken into by a group of men in black. The men in black claimed to be here to rescue him. He was very lucky at that time, because the man still cared about him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he admitted his identity, those people slashed at him with knives. He was so frightened that he lost his mind. At this critical stall, another group of people wearing black turbans came and fought with the group of men in black, and he escaped.

The group of people wearing black turbans are the secret guards led by Xuan Yi.

When Ling Qingxuan arrived, a dozen men in black were already dead.

Xuan Yi: "Your Majesty, we were planning to act as planned, but unexpectedly we saw the killed guard as soon as we arrived."

"Is Zeng Rui okay?"

"It's okay, I'm still in jail."

Ling Qingxuan walked into the cell where Zeng Rui was held, and there were mottled blood stains everywhere. This guy was squatting on the ground, burying his head in his crotch, and was shaking against the wall.

"Are you done shaking? Get up and talk when you're done."

Zeng Rui heard Ling Qingxuan's voice, which was like the sound of nature, and raised his sinister face, "Your Majesty, he wants to kill me, he wants to kill me!"

"Who is going to kill you?"

Zeng Rui was about to say something, but closed his mouth again.

"He can kill you once, but can't he kill you a second time? He will escort you back to Beijing in a few days. Who can guarantee that he can protect you in the wilderness?"

Zeng Rui was stunned. Shouldn't the prince go all out to protect me to the capital? Otherwise, how could he get the credit?

Ling Qingxuan seemed to have seen what he was thinking, and sneered: "To be honest, whether you die or not has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with me who you make a deal with. To harm my people in order to protect you, this It has something to do with me.”

"As for the emperor's commendation or something? I am already the prince of the country, how else do you think the emperor can reward me?"

"Master Zeng is the most interested person. Tell me, why should I do something that has no benefit to me?"

The more Zeng Rui listened, the colder his heart grew. Is his life worthless in the eyes of these people?

"Master Zeng, if you want to save your life, there is only one way. Take out what you should take and put it on the imperial cabinet as soon as possible. Then nothing will happen to you, don't you think?"

Zeng Rui looked at Ling Qingxuan in surprise: "You know?"

"Whether I know or not is not important. The key is..." Ling Qingxuan pointed to the top, "Does that person know?"

Zeng Rui felt a chill coming from his bones. If that person really knew, then... if he refused to let go, wouldn't he be pushing himself to a place of eternal destruction with his own hands?

"Master Zeng, do you have anything else to say to me? If not, we will set off back to Beijing in three days. When that time comes...you wish yourself well!"

"I...I have...I have something to say!"

Early morning, Gejiazhuang.

Ling Qingxuan led the dragon and tiger guards to surround Zeng Rui's courtyard. That's right, it was the other courtyard that was burned down by Xuan Er's men. Zeng Rui has not been here since the other courtyard was burned down. He did not expect that the account books and letters would be placed here.

Longhuwei finally found the account books and letters in a secret room in the wall of a room deep in the courtyard. If Xia Chuntao is here, he must know that this room is the eldest son's room. Xia Chuntao has also been there.

From this point of view, Zeng Rui opened this courtyard ostensibly as a place to have fun with his male favorites, but the actual purpose was to hide those account books and letters. After all, who would have thought that he would put such an important thing in a separate courtyard where a male favorite lives?

It has to be said that Zeng Zhusheng is also very skilled.

The common people in Gejiazhuang heard the sergeant's horse hooves clattering in. There were torches everywhere in the village. Everyone stayed quietly in their rooms, and no one dared to poke their head out. About half an hour later, the sound of the sergeants' hoofbeats sounded again.

Finally, calm returned to Zhuangzi. No one knew what happened, and no one wanted to know, as long as it had nothing to do with their family.

Xia Chuntao couldn't sleep in bed and was a little worried. While making pancakes on the bed, Xiaobai walked in quietly and said, "Ms. Xia, the prince is here, outside the door."

Xia Chuntao rolled over and sat up, put on a coat and ran out.

Seeing Ling Qingxuan safe and sound in front of her, Xia Chuntao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, are you done?"

"Yeah. I guess you're not asleep, so I'm here to say hello to you." Ling Qingxuan gently stroked Xia Chuntao's messy hair with his slender fingers, and said softly: "It's okay, go to sleep peacefully."

"then you……"

"I still have some finishing matters to deal with, so I'm going back to Rongcheng first. I'll come over after finishing them."

Xia Chuntao wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so she approached Ling Qingxuan, reached out and hugged him gently, "Go and do your work, I will sleep well."

What is the best relationship in this world?

Xia Chuntao didn't know.

As far as Xia Chuntao is concerned, I understand what you are saying, and you also understand what I am saying, which is the closest distance between hearts.

In the evening two days later, Ling Qingxuan came to Zhuangzi.

"Leaving tomorrow?"

"Well, the matter here is almost settled. The most urgent task is to escort Zeng Rui back to Beijing to resume his life."

"Zhiyi, I have to ask you to take care of me. This trip is official, so it's not easy to take her with me."

"I have Zhiyi here, you can rest assured."

Ling Qingxuan seemed to have thought of something. He took out a folded piece of thick paper from his sleeve and handed it to Xia Chuntao, "Open it and take a look."

Xia Chuntao unfolded it, it was a land deed, huh? The land deed of Gejiazhuang!

The owner's signature: Xia Chuntao.

"All of Zeng Rui's properties in the entire Rongcheng will be confiscated and re-sold. I thought that Gejiazhuang is only separated from your village by a mountain. It's better to buy them and connect them together. It should be enough for you."
