After coming out of Yicui Pavilion, Lin Xuan and Jiangling Yueping retreated their carriages and horses, and strolled along the road back to Jifu. It has to be said that even just after nightfall, the streets in Kyoto are already very lively, bustling, and the two masters are at ease. With Zhou Xian behind him, Zhou Yan did not dare to relax in the slightest.

"Second brother, look at the prosperity of this capital, which is much better than that of the people in Lishu."

"That's right, Lishu is located in the southwest, and there have been severe droughts since ancient times. Recently, the capital of Lishu has handed over money. The emperor has allocated 200 million taels of silver from the treasury. The tax has been reduced for three years. After all, it is not A good strategy—" Just as he was speaking, Lin Xuan noticed that Jiang Lingyue seemed to be looking into the distance in a trance, and followed his gaze, and saw Ji Xiangrong and Huo Rui leading a group of guards around, pulling people around to find out something, Lin Xuan thought in his heart Feeling a little uneasy, he said without turning his head: "Brother Ling, let's go and find out what's going on."

"What should I do? What should I do? Huo Rui, my sister is gone, what should I do?" Ji Xiangrong seemed to be about to collapse, and his eyes were full of anxiety and worry as he pulled Huo Rui.

Lin Xuan and Jiang Lingyue who had just arrived were taken aback, Lin Xuan blurted out "What?! The person disappeared?" What if Taifu Ji found out about this? !

The almost desperate two looked at the prince who had fallen from the sky, but they had no time to be surprised. They were about to salute when they were interrupted by Lin Xuan: "Tell me what's going on, maybe we can help."

Huo Rui glanced at Lin Xuan, and said hesitantly: "That's fine, maybe the prince and the marquis can gather more people. After noon, Yuejun accompanied Xiangrong to Lingyun Temple to offer incense. On the way back, Xiangrong felt a little bit tired sitting in the carriage. I was tired, slept for a while, woke up, she was lying in the woods in the eastern suburbs, and Yue Jun was missing. Then Xiangrong came to look for me, and didn't dare to disturb Mrs. Ji for a while, the situation is probably like this." Huo Rui is also in a hurry now, it's frightening why Jun Yue keeps encountering such things recently.

Lin Xuan frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Second Miss Ji, are you and Miss Ji the only ones traveling today?"

"It's just me and my sister, because the place we went to is very familiar, and we can come back in the afternoon."

"Is the coachman from Jifu? Is this the coachman who travels on weekdays?" Lin Xuan continued to ask.

"Almost, this coachman is an old man in Ji's mansion, and he has been in Ji's mansion for a long time." Ji Xiangrong tried hard to recall.

"Did you feel anything different about the driver when you were riding today?"

"It seems to be a little different. My sister also asked Uncle Li if he was not feeling well. Why is he still sweating in the cold weather. Afterwards, Uncle Li said he was fine and got into the car—"

Lin Xuan frowned and was silent for a while, his handsome face was full of dignity, "Brother Ling, take my token to borrow the [-] Qilin Army, search the whole city, be careful to travel in casual clothes, and pay attention to concealment." "Zhou Xian, go and check the coachman. The people in Prince Yong's Mansion are at your disposal. If there is any news or support is needed, send a signal to the sky. Huo Rui escorts Miss Ji back to Taifu's Mansion first, and then helps Marquis Dingbei to search the whole city together." , Zhou Yan followed me to the woods in the eastern suburbs."

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------

It was getting darker and darker, Lin Xuan took Zhou Yan along the trail left by the eastern suburbs for a long distance, even the horse was tired and gasped for breath.Lin Xuan looked at the road with broken traces, feeling a little dazed. After searching for two hours, he found nothing. The hand holding the rein was frozen but he didn't notice it.

"My lord, look, there is a letter crow, Zhou Xian came to hear the news." Sure enough, a letter crow, not too big or small, was flying towards this side.

Zhou Yan took down the letter and handed it to Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan took advantage of the moonlight to quickly unfold it to read: "Go, continue east, to Maojiazhuang."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the dark and dilapidated house, an old man with white temples was holding a bowl of porridge and walking towards the back room, where sat a gentle and jade-like woman with an eight-pointed beauty on her face and two parts of a young girl who hadn't gone yet. It is so beautiful that people want to worship and love it.

"Miss, drink some porridge while it's hot. I won't hurt you." Putting down the bowl, the old man sat down, looked at the fire silently, and continued: "Missy is a good person, I will not do anything to offend my conscience." But I have a son who does not live up to expectations. He owes gambling debts and was taken away by thieves. They threatened me and asked me to tie you up. Otherwise, A Peng will die. I don’t want to be sorry for Ji’s family. I have been dealing with them. It’s just that they sent a box that day, which contained A Peng’s hand. If I don’t bring you, they will return A Peng bit by bit. I have nowhere to go I chose it." The old man began to cry, "Even if he doesn't live up to his expectations, he is still my own. The son is not the fault of the father. A Peng has lost his mother since he was a child. It is my fault that he has become like this when he grows up..."

Seeing that old man Li was in such pain, Ji Yuejun lowered his head and comforted him softly: "Uncle Li, Yuejun won't blame you. You have served the Ji family for so many years and have always been loyal. And they came for Ji's mansion, we implicated you."

Uncle Li felt even more ashamed after hearing this, and firmly said to Ji Yuejun: "Miss, I will definitely not let you have any trouble, and I will save you if I risk my life. It's just that these thieves are very strange, let me put You brought it here, and it's nowhere to be seen."

"Boom!—" Something was knocked over, and there seemed to be movement in the yard.

Uncle Li immediately stood up, as if he was still a Lianjiazi, "I'll go outside and have a look, Missy, please don't go out."

"Okay, Uncle Li must be careful." Ji Yuejun felt faintly uneasy.

Ji Yuejun, who was paying attention to the movement outside, obviously didn't notice that a black shadow had sneaked into the house just as Uncle Li went out.

Just when Ji Yuejun felt someone was behind him, he covered Ji Yuejun's mouth with one hand, Ji Yuejun frowned, and when he was surprised, he was about to struggle when he heard a familiar voice: "Stop moving, it's me, Lin Xuan. "

Ji Yuejun turned his face away when he heard the sound, and seeing Lin Xuan's bright eyes, his heart immediately became much more at ease.

"I made the noise outside. I don't know how many people are in the room. Come with me now." Without waiting for Ji Yuejun to speak, Lin Xuan grabbed her hand and prepared to leave. A warmth spread from her hands to Ji Yuejun the whole body.

Suddenly there was the sound of fighting in the dark night, and there were crowds of people outside the house, and people holding torches surrounded the house.Lin Xuan secretly thought that something was wrong, there were at least ten people, and there was only one person here, and Zhou Yan didn't know where it was yet.

Lin Xuan and Ji Yuejun looked at each other. At this time, Ji Yuejun held Lin Xuan's hand tightly, as if Lin Xuan didn't know where he would go once he let go.

"Listen, people in the house, it's time to come out, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. If I don't come out again, I will set fire to the house?! Hahaha——"

"Do you know who I am?!" Lin Xuan shouted outside the room.

"No one can change the result that you are a dead person, someone wants to sell your life!"

"Then I'll pay you ten times the price!" Lin Xuan walked up to Ji Yuejun, held Ji Yuejun's hand and said, "This dagger is for your self-defense. When we go out, you must not leave my sight, and , with me here, I will protect your safety!" After finishing speaking, Lin Xuan smiled evilly, and continued: "It would be good if I died here today, at least there are beauties by my side, and being a ghost is also romantic."

Ji Yuejun smiled faintly, knowing that Lin Xuan was only joking to ease his tension.It's just that I didn't expect that holding Lin Xuan's hand felt so safe, and I didn't want to let go. I looked up at Lin Xuan's bright eyes and said firmly: "My lord, you can go out later, don't worry about Yue. Jun. You and I both know that we are outnumbered, and Yue Jun will only be a burden now. It is better to die here than both of them—”

"You underestimate me so much, it's not certain who will win!" Lin Xuan immediately rolled his eyes at Ji Yuejun, secretly displeased, why is this king so weak? !

"My lord has been weak since childhood and—"

"No need to say any more, this king will never leave you behind under any circumstances!" Lin Xuan held Ji Yuejun's hand tightly, fearing that if she let her go, she would never want to leave with him again.Secretly said: leave you behind and run away, how can I have face when I go back, how can I be a human being.

Ji Yuejun's body shook, and he stared at Lin Xuan with clear eyes, "Why are you doing this to me?"

"No one will escape in this king, and I believe that if you were me, neither would you." Lin Xuan said firmly.

"No amount of money is useless. You understand that our business depends on credit." As soon as the leading man in black finished speaking, the beautiful scene of a handsome boy holding a fairy-like girl came into view.

Lin Xuan stood in front of Ji Yuejun, facing the men in black, without losing the air of a king at all, and said lightly: "Let her go, and we will fight again."
