Mr. Kezaku

Geng Zhi was a little anxious, and said, "Lord Chu, what should we do? Three days, this is too short. Everyone is dead. How can people solve the case in three days?"

Chu Yuyang pouted, he didn't know what to do.

Jiang Liuwu was also a little disappointed, and said, "I'm sorry, this incident... was caused by me, and instead, Master Chu has been implicated."

Chu Yuyang waved her hand and said, "How can you be blamed for this?"

Geng Zhi also said: "Yes, I said Jiang Liuwu, why are you thinking wildly every day. You didn't kill people, so what responsibility do you take?"

Jiang Liuwu said: "Three days is really too short... I'm afraid. I'd better go to the palace and explain the reason to the Queen Mother. Master Chu can't let this matter stand. If I want to stand it, it's me..."

Before Jiang Liuwu finished speaking, Geng Zhi interrupted him and said, "If you really want to help, you should quickly think about what you still remember. We are just a little Sizhi, how could the Queen Mother see us?" , You can’t get in even at the gate of the palace.”

Although what Geng Zhi said was in the vernacular, it was actually the truth. Even if Jiang Liuwu wanted to explain the situation, it was impossible for him to see the Queen Mother at all.

Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Yes, Jiang Liuwu, what do you remember? Just tell me everything, it will be a great help."

Jiang Liuwu became embarrassed, his long eyebrows frowned, and said: "I...I really can't think of anything else."

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." Chu Yuyang said, "Why don't you do this!"

"Master Chu has a solution?" Jiang Liuwu opened his eyes wide and looked at him happily.

Chu Yuyang said excitedly: "Well, if you live in my house, if you suddenly think of something, you can tell me right away."

Hearing this, Jiang Liu was a little disappointed. It turned out that it was not a good way.

"Whose house do you live in?"

Suddenly someone spoke at the door, and everyone looked over and gasped. Isn't the one standing at the door the Prince Duan Zhao Xingduan?

Chu Yuyang felt that she had been a little unlucky recently, and she was caught by Duan'er no matter how much she flirted with others.

Chu Yuyang hurriedly jumped up, ran to Zhao Xingduan, and said, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Xingduan said: "I heard that the Empress Dowager has issued a decree, so I came here specially to see you."

Chu Yuyang showed an aggrieved look, and said: "Duan'er, you have heard that I have provoked whom. The incident last time passed, and I haven't taken a breath yet. Now it's time for another three days. I How wronged."

Zhao Xingduan said with a smile: "I see that you are breathing well, and you still have time to strike up a conversation with others."

Chu Yuyang said righteously: "You have wronged me, I am investigating the case."

In fact, Chu Yuyang did not guess wrong, it was because Princess Hongxia went to the queen mother to set the tone and showed the jade bracelet to the queen mother, so the queen mother suddenly remembered what happened ten years ago.

A lot of things happened ten years ago, the queen mother was a little confused when she recalled it at first, as if she couldn't remember what the maid named Huizhu looked like for a while.However, when he saw the broken jade bracelet, he felt that it was actually yesterday.

Perhaps because of overthinking, the Queen Mother didn't sleep well at night, so she had a dream about the little maid named Huizhu.He had a pleasant appearance and a cheerful personality, but he died in a blink of an eye, and his death was very miserable.

The queen mother woke up from the dream, thought about it, felt that the things that happened back then were too strange, and invited someone to ask carefully, and they found out, saying that people from Dali Temple found a corpse outside the city, it might be Huizhu's, look It looked like it had been poisoned and strangled.

The queen mother was shocked when she heard that, and felt that the dream last night was not a coincidence, but that Huizhu had grievances, so she entrusted the dream to herself and wanted to avenge her grievances.

The queen mother is getting old, so she will inevitably start to miss the old days, thinking that the girl has been serving her for so long, and she can't let her die without knowing why.

As a result, this matter fell directly on Chu Yuyang's head, and another three-day deadline came.

Princess Hongxia ran out of the palace early in the morning to inform Chu Yuyang, and after running back, she heard the queen mother's order.Princess Hongxia knew that she was probably to blame for this incident, so instead she tried to scare the snake and made Chu Yuyang miserable, so she ran out of the palace again, but she couldn't find Chu Yuyang, so she had to find Zhao Xingduan.

Princess Hongxia asked Zhao Xingduan if there was any way to do it, but there was really no way to do it, the Queen Mother had ordered her to take it back, and she couldn't be allowed to take it back.At most, the case could not be solved in the end, so Zhao Xingduan went to the Queen Mother to intercede.

After Zhao Xingduan sent Princess Hongxia away, he went to Dali Temple to look for Chu Yuyang. As soon as he entered, he happened to hear Chu Yuyang hooking up with Jiang Liuwu.Prince Duan's nose almost crooked in anger.

In order to change the subject, Chu Yuyang rolled her eyes twice and said quickly, "Ah, time is running out, let's investigate the case quickly."

Geng Zhi didn't know how to wink and said, "But Mr. Chu, I don't have any clue now, where should we go to investigate the case?"

Chu Yuyang: "..."

Not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs, Chu Yuyang cried silently in his heart, at this time, it would be fine to ask silently in his heart, why did he have to ask the question so loudly?

"How to check?" Zhao Xing raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Yuyang.

Chu Yuyang hurriedly raised her hand and rubbed her chin, turning her small pointed chin red, as if I was thinking seriously, don't interrupt my train of thought.

Chu Yuyang pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Aren't there many guards in Sixteen Guards?"

Zhao Xingduan laughed and said: "The Sixteen Guards' Mansion is mainly responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. Do you think there are many people?"

Chu Yuyang: "..."

He also wanted to say that if there were not many people, he could list them all and let Jiang Liuwu search them one by one, maybe it would be useful.

"Prince Duan!" Suddenly someone rushed in, and it turned out to be Teng Shan.

Teng Shan came in a hurry, obviously something urgent.

Chu Yuyang asked: "Why did you come here?"

Teng Shan said: "The emperor sent someone to Prince Duan's mansion to tell Prince Duan and Mr. Chu to enter the palace immediately, saying that there is an urgent matter."

Chu Yuyang had a headache, feeling that she had suddenly become busy, and wondered what happened to Zhao Xingde.

Zhao Xingduan frowned and asked, "Do you know what it is?"

Teng Shan whispered, "I heard that...Ping's bodyguard suddenly disappeared."

"what!"

Chu Yuyang immediately jumped up and said, "Jiang Liuwu, continue to remember, I have other things, I went to the palace, and I will see you when I come back."

Jiang Liuwu was at a loss, seeing Chu Yuyang rushing away with Prince Duan, not knowing why.

After leaving Dali Temple, Chu Yuyang asked Teng Shan, "Why did Ping Qiu disappear suddenly?"

Teng Shan said: "I don't know what is redundant, but the people who came here are very anxious, so I rushed here to find Mr. Chu and Prince Duan."

Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan didn't waste any more time, and hurried to the palace on horseback.

The guard at the gate of the palace saw the two people finally came, with a look of tears on his face, he said: "Your Majesty has sent people to ask for several times, please hurry up and come with the humble officer, don't make Your Majesty wait. .”

Chu Yuyang was also anxious, and quickly followed the guards to find Zhao Xingde.

Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan entered the palace gate, and sure enough, they saw Zhao Xingde sitting there with a dark face, and Pingqiu was nowhere to be seen.

Chu Yuyang saw it from afar, and felt that Zhao Xingde and Zhao Xingduan were indeed brothers, and when they were angry, their expressions seemed to be similar.

There was no one else in the hall except them, Chu Yuyang asked, "Where are the people from Pingqiu?"

Zhao Xingde's complexion was not good, he pointed to a piece of paper on the table, put his hand on his forehead, and said, "I was kidnapped."

"Ah?" Chu Yuyang was a little surprised, Ping Qiu was so good at martial arts, how could he be kidnapped.

Zhao Xingduan quickly picked up the note, read it quickly, and suddenly his expression changed, and he said, "Your Majesty..."

"What did it say?" Chu Yuyang asked.

Before Chu Yuyang had time to look at it, she heard Zhao Xingde say, "The higher-ups said, let me exchange jade seals for Pingqiu."

Zhao Xingde's tone could not be heard to be angry, as if it was the same as usual, but his complexion was obviously not good.

Chu Yuyang was also taken aback, and said, "Exchanging Yuxi for Pingqiu, isn't that..."

Chu Yuyang knew what the jade seal was for. Asking Zhao Xingde to exchange the jade seal for Pingqiu meant asking Zhao Xingde to give up the emperor's dragon chair?

Chu Yuyang said: "Could it be someone tricked me. Was Ping Qiu really kidnapped? Or maybe Ping Qiu just happened to encounter some troubles, so he didn't go back to the palace right away."

Zhao Xingde shook his head and said, "I don't know. Ping Qiu went on an errand and didn't come back last night. I feel strange. I didn't expect to see this note just now."

Chu Yuyang said: "Then who kidnapped Ping Qiu? Who is the other party?"

Kidnapping Ping's bodyguard is obviously not someone to wait for, and it is even more ambitious to ask Yuxi to replace him.

Zhao Xingduan stared at the note in his hand and said, "King Hao..."

Chu Yuyang was startled, and said, "No way...? It's him?"

Zhao Xingde said: "I didn't believe that King Hao was still alive, but now I have to believe it. I'm afraid he is coming back for revenge."

Chu Yuyang took the note, but there was no signature on it, let alone any special symbols.But this handwriting... Chu Yuyang felt a little familiar, and then remembered it. When he was in the Shen family in Qintai County, King Hao once left a note. The handwriting on it and this piece of paper at this time The strips are almost identical.

At that time in Shen's house, Zhao Xingduan was very surprised when he saw the note, probably because he recognized King Hao's note, so he was so surprised.

It is too hasty to conclude that Hao Wang did it based on the notes alone.But if it was the note left by King Hao and Ping Qiu who was robbed, this matter is reasonable.If King Hao wanted Yuxi, then it was indeed possible.

Although there was a three-day deadline from the Queen Mother, Chu Yuyang still decided to help Zhao Xingde find Pingqiu first.Chu Yuyang asked carefully, asking what errands Ping Qiu has been doing recently.

Zhao Xingde didn't hide anything, and said: "Since Xing Duan told me about Xuemeitu last time, I felt that the Sixteen Guards Mansion was too suspicious, so I asked Ping Qiu to observe secretly. After all, the most trusted man around me It’s Ping Qiu, and I don’t feel at ease letting others do it.”

Chu Yuyang asked: "What did you find out?"

Zhao Xingde shook his head and said: "Nothing, but a few days ago, when Ping Qiu came back, he took a note saying that Feng Beisi had slipped it to him in secret. The note said be careful of Liang Qi, Nothing else."

Chu Yuyang remembered the note Zhao Xingduan told him, and it turned out that Ping Qiu brought it back.

Chu Yuyang said: "Is it possible that Ping Qiu was discovered by the people from the Sixteenth Guards Mansion, and it was the people from the Sixteenth Guards Mansion who took him away?"

Zhao Xingde looked serious, and said, "I'd rather believe... that King Hao captured Ping Qiu."

Chu Yuyang didn't react for a while, and didn't understand what Zhao Xingde meant.He turned his head and took a look, Zhao Xingduan's expression was also serious.

Chu Yuyang suddenly remembered what Zhao Xingduan had said to him when he was in Dali Temple.

The Sixteen Guards' Mansion is mainly responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. It is a force that should not be underestimated both inside and outside the palace, and in the capital. It can even be said to be an absolute force of life and death.They are not as numerous as the troops on the frontier, nor do they necessarily have well-trained soldiers.But in the imperial city of the capital, their identities determine that they can come and go freely.

If the people from the Sixteenth Guards Mansion really captured Ping Qiu and left a note to exchange for jade seals, it means that the Sixteenth Guards Mansion has already had the intention of rebellion, and I am afraid that they may launch trouble at any time.The palace has become the most unstable place.

Zhao Xingduan said: "Your Majesty, what Chu Yuyang said is not impossible. If it is true, please make a plan early. I implore Your Majesty to allow you to send troops out of the city, just in case."

Emperors are always suspicious, and Zhao Xingde cannot deny that he is such an emperor.For Zhao Xingduan, a fellow brother, Zhao Xingde can give him the most honorable status, a reputation of being under one man and above ten thousand people, but there is one thing that Zhao Xingde never gave him, and that is military power.

In the eyes of others, Zhao Xingde is very relieved of how powerful Prince Duan is, because Zhao Xingduan has no military power, and he has no possibility of usurping the throne.

Zhao Xingduan also led troops to fight on the battlefield before. It can be said that Zhao Xingduan actually prefers the feeling of going to the battlefield, but he also understands the emperor's mind.The royal family is really not easy, Zhao Xingde is already very good to him.

So Zhao Xingduan took the initiative to hand over his military power back then, returned to the capital, and never went to the border to lead troops to fight again.

Once the military power is handed over, it may be more difficult than climbing to the sky to get it back. Zhao Xingduan naturally knows this truth, but now, he has to say this, even if there will be a gap between him and Zhao Xingde after saying it , that is also to be said.

If someone in the Sixteenth Guards Mansion really had a rebellious heart, the consequences would be disastrous.

The Sixteen Guards House is a force around the emperor. When the Sixteen Guards House was first established, it was stipulated that the Sixteen Guards House would not be involved in politics or go to court, and was only responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor and the imperial city.

However, today's Sixteen Guards Mansion has already run counter to the original regulations.When the former commander of the Sixteen Guards and the first emperor secretly organized that shady force, the Sixteen Guards had already begun to become a potential threat.

The first emperor planned to use that power to accomplish things that he could not accomplish on the surface, so as to better rule his country.But I'm afraid he didn't expect that after his death, the leader of that force would become a mystery, and the Sixteen Guards Mansion would become a real threat.

Chu Yuyang felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. He had never been an emperor, and there was no possibility of becoming an emperor in the future. He also couldn't understand the thoughts of the person sitting in that position.

Zhao Xingde opened his mouth and said: "You go now, be careful, don't startle the snake. I trust you."

Zhao Xingduan said: "The younger brother will come back as soon as possible. When the younger brother is away, Mr. Chu..."

Zhao Xingde said: "I know what you are thinking, don't worry, Mr. Chu will be fine."

Zhao Xingduan got Zhao Xingde's secret decree and planned to go out of the city immediately to transfer troops.

Chu Yuyang quickly followed him out of the palace and said, "How long are you going?"

Zhao Xingduan said: "Soon, I will be back in two or three days, don't worry."

Chu Yuyang nodded. He didn't know how to deploy troops to fight, and he didn't know what to do, so there was nothing to tell him.

Zhao Xingduan said: "If I'm not here for a few days, you should not go out of the house. Teng Shan and Lin Bailiu will protect you."

"How can it work? The case of the seven jade bracelets and the matter of Pingqiu have not been resolved." Chu Yuyang said.

Zhao Xingduan said: "You don't have to investigate the case first, your safety is the most important thing."

Chu Yuyang laughed when she heard this, put her arms around Zhao Xingduan's neck and kissed him on the lips, and said, "Duan'er's serious expression of love makes people so shy."

Zhao Xingduan patted the top of his head, and said, "I'm leaving, so hurry up and come back sooner."

Chu Yuyang said: "Be careful, don't worry about me."

Zhao Xingduan nodded, the two of them left the palace gate, Zhao Xingduan rode his horse and galloped out of the city.

Looking at Zhao Xingduan's back, Chu Yuyang sighed for a while, thinking about why it's been so chaotic recently, everything has been rushed together, and always feels very bad.

After Chu Yuyang came out of the palace, she went to Dali Temple. After running around, she felt that her leg was about to break.

When they arrived at Dali Temple, Chu Yuyang found that only Geng Zhi was there, Jiang Liuwu was not in Dali Temple, and he didn't know where he went.

Chu Yuyang asked, "Where's Jiang Liuwu?"

Geng Zhi said: "He said he wanted to go to the place where the body was found and have a look, so he hurried there. I was afraid that Master Chu would not find anyone when you came back, so I waited for you here."

Chu Yuyang said: "Did he think of something? Why did he leave in such a hurry?"

Geng Zhi shook his head and said, "If you ask him, he won't tell, he's always like this."

"Then let's go find him." Chu Yuyang said.

Geng Zhi nodded and said, "Jiang Liu Wu has not been gone for long, maybe we can catch up."

Chu Yuyang took a sip of tea in a hurry, planning to follow Geng Zhi after drinking the sip.

With a "poof", Chu Yuyang's face was splashed by the tea in the cup, and when he fixed his eyes, there was a small piece of silver in the teacup.

Chu Yuyang couldn't help opening her eyes wide, staring at the small piece of silver as if she had seen a ghost, then raised her head and looked up.As soon as he looked, he saw a figure on the beam of the house. The figure poked his head out and waved hello to him. It turned out to be Huaishui.

Chu Yuyang was taken aback, Huaishui was actually here.

Geng Zhi noticed that Chu Yuyang was holding a cup of tea in a daze, and asked, "Master Chu, what's wrong?"

Chu Yuyang was afraid that Geng Zhi would look up and see the Huai River on the beam, so he quickly pointed to the door and shouted, "Is that Jiang Liuwu?"

Geng Zhi hurried to the door and said, "No."

"Ah, I'm dazzled." Chu Yuyang said: "Geng Zhi, you should go to Jiang Liuwu first. I suddenly remembered what His Majesty had ordered me to do immediately. After I finished the task, I went to Meet you guys."

Geng Zhi heard that it was His Majesty's order, so he didn't dare to inquire further, so he left honestly.

Seeing the person walking away, Chu Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly closed the door.Then when he turned around, almost having a heart attack from fright, Huaishui had already jumped off the beam and stood quietly behind him.

Chu Yuyang patted his chest and said, "Apprentice, is your martial arts getting better and better?"

Huaishui said: "If Prince Duan is here, I won't be able to come in today."

"That's that." Chu Yuyang said triumphantly, "My Duan'er is not only beautiful, but also has wisdom and strength."

Huaishui listened to him with a smile.

Chu Yuyang suddenly said: "Apprentice, you are so kind. I was planning to kidnap you, but I didn't expect you to take the lead."

Huaishui asked, "Kidnap me?"

Chu Yuyang nodded her head twice and said, "Yeah. I won't kidnap you now, so please hand over my Xiaopinger. Although I'm a good man with one heart and one mind, I can't see you anymore." It’s not going to be saved, is it?”

Huai Shui suddenly realized, and said, "Master is talking about Ping Qiu."

Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Yes."

Huaishui said: "I came here just for this matter. Ping Qiu was not taken away by the adoptive father. If the master trusts me, come with me to see the foster father."

"Hey, I'm going to meet your adoptive father with you?" Chu Yuyang said with a smile: "It's such a good thing, can't I hear it wrong?"

"Of course not." Huai Shui said, "Father wants to see Master."

Chu Yuyang geared up and said, "Then take me there quickly."

"Isn't Master afraid of being a trap?" Huai Shui asked.

Chu Yuyang looked cheap and swished, and said: "I, the young minister of Dali Temple, has only been in office for a few days, and I haven't received my salary yet. If your adoptive father robs you, I won't have it. Hehehe, if you rob me... ... I am the least afraid of robbery."

Huaishui felt a headache and said, "Master thinks too much."

Huai Shui said again: "There are many people here. Master left Dali Temple and walked in the direction of Prince Duan's Mansion. I will pick up Master when the time comes."

Chu Yuyang nodded, and according to Huaishui's intention, left the gate of Dali Temple, and then went to Duanwang Mansion.

Before reaching the gate of Duanwang Mansion, Chu Yuyang was hit on the head by a piece of silver when he was one block away, the Huai River must have dried it up...

Chu Yuyang looked up and looked around, and saw Huaishui standing at the corner, beckoning to him.

Chu Yuyang walked over, followed Huai Shui from a distance, and after walking for a while, he saw Sixteen Guards Mansion.

He suddenly thumped in his heart, thinking that King Hao would not cooperate with the Sixteen Guards Mansion, would he?That would be a bad idea.

Fortunately, what Chu Yuyang was worried about didn't happen. Huaishui didn't want to enter the Sixteen Guards Mansion, but went around and entered an inconspicuous house not far away.

The gate of the house was not closed tightly, leaving a gap for Chu Yuyang. Chu Yuyang pushed the door and walked in, and even closed the gate on purpose.

"Mr. Chu, please come in."

A man's voice in the room said, Chu Yuyang had heard this voice before, it was deep and slightly hoarse, it sounded gentle and bewitching, it was really very attractive, once he heard it, he would never forget it.

Chu Yuyang walked into the room generously, and saw a man sitting above him at a glance, and Huaishui was standing beside him.

The man looks somewhat similar to Zhao Xingduan, but he looks gentler.The corners of his mouth are obviously straightened, but it seems that he is smiling all the time, but the smile doesn't reach the bottom of his heart, which makes people feel a little uncertain.

Chu Yuyang asked: "Are you King Hao?"

"King Hao?" The man smiled and said, "King Hao died ten years ago."

"Oh." Chu Yuyang nodded comprehendingly, and said, "Then let me greet you again."

The man was a little surprised, then nodded.

Chu Yuyang said, "Are you Duan'er's uncle?"

The man couldn't help laughing a few times this time, and said, "I am."

Chu Yuyang said: "Then you came to me today to ask for a betrothal gift?"

The man was startled, apparently he did not expect Chu Yuyang to say this, and said, "I came to you today because I want to tell you a few things."

Chu Yuyang sat down on the chair and said, "Tell me, I listened very carefully."

The man said: "First, I didn't take Pingqiu away, it has nothing to do with me."

"I believe." Chu Yuyang nodded without hesitation.

The man asked, "Why do you trust me?"

Chu Yuyang didn't even stutter, and said, "Because you look good."

Standing behind the man, Huaishui felt a bit of a headache, and his master started to be dishonest again.

Chu Yuyang asked: "Then who do you think kidnapped Ping Qiu?"

The man said, "Perhaps it has something to do with the Sixteen Guards."

Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Then who do you think has the greatest relationship with the sixteen guards?"

The man smiled and said, "Are you playing tricks on me?"

Chu Yuyang immediately shook her head and said, "I'm asking you for advice."

The man said, "It's not Feng Beisi."

Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "I think so too."

The man asked, "Because he's good-looking?"

Chu Yuyang looked at him in surprise, and said, "So you think the same way, it's really a hero who sees the same thing."

The man was molested by him, but he was not annoyed, and said: "I survived a catastrophe back then, and I recovered after recuperating for several years. In order to get revenge, I searched around, and only then did I discover the secret of the Sixteen Guards Mansion. But the strange thing is that After the death of the former commander of the Sixteenth Guards Mansion, he did not hand over the burden of the leader of the power to Feng Beisi. Logically speaking, the commander Feng Beisi should inherit it. That leader hides very deeply. He has been in the dark for more than ten years, and he is indeed a formidable enemy."

Chu Yuyang asked, "It's Liang Qi."

The man was not surprised that he would doubt Liang Qi, after all, Liang Qi's name appeared on the picture of Xuemei.

The man said, "It's him and it's not him."

"How to say?" Chu Yuyang asked.

The man didn't continue talking, but said: "The second thing I want to talk to Chu Yuyang, there may be changes in the capital recently. Mr. Chu is an outsider, so it's better to leave early, so as not to be implicated."

Chu Yuyang said: "I'm afraid this won't work, I'll be where Duaner is."

Hearing what he said, the man seemed to have heard a joke, and said, "Chu Yuyang, do you think you can be with Zhao Xingduan forever?"

Chu Yuyang said, "Why not?"

The man seemed a little emotional, and said: "People will always change, especially this life is so long, you are still two men, and he is a prince."

Chu Yuyang said: "Of course my Duaner will change, and it will become more and more beautiful."

The man said: "When General Chu learned the ins and outs of the matter, he risked the danger of killing the nine clans to save me, but he himself... I have never done anything wrong in my life, but I owe too many people. You are Chu General's son, I hope you live well."

Chu Yuyang smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, I am living a very good and happy life."

The man suddenly asked: "What if Zhao Xingduan dies?"

Chu Yuyang could hardly keep up with his thinking speed, and the man switched the topic back to the previous one.

Chu Yuyang said: "My family's Duan'er is highly skilled in martial arts, smart, and good-looking. At first glance, he is very lucky."

"That's good." The man smiled and said, "Go ten miles outside the city and have a look."

Chu Yuyang was taken aback for a moment, then felt another thump in her heart, and stood up abruptly.

Not long after Zhao Xingduan left, in order not to startle the enemy, he rode away alone to dispatch troops.The man suddenly asked him to take a look ten miles outside the city, and Chu Yuyang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Zhao Xingduan encountered some kind of ambush after leaving the city?

Chu Yuyang panicked all of a sudden, and ran out quickly. Seeing two horses in the yard, she took off the reins, turned on the horse with difficulty, and rode away.

Huaishui was also shocked when he heard the man's words, and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the man.

Huaishui said: "Father, did Prince Duan encounter an ambush?"

The man said: "Zhao Xingduan is the closest person to Zhao Xingde, and he Pingqiu is Zhao Xingde's right-hand man. He has captured Pingqiu, will he let the other hand go?"

Huaishui was a little anxious, and said: "Then what should we do? Prince Duan is in danger, and my master ran out alone, so he is no match at all."

The man gave a low laugh, took Huaishui's hand, squeezed his fingertips lightly, and said, "You care so much about your master, the foster father will be jealous."

Huaishui blushed a little, and said, "Father... Master was really kind to me before him."

The man said: "You can rest assured that although that person is cruel, he is not a madman. His purpose is revenge, and he will not attack Mr. Chu. As for Zhao Xingduan..."

Huaishui was a little anxious when he heard that he would stop talking.

The man continued after a while: "As for Zhao Xingduan, I have sent someone to help him secretly."

Huaishui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

The man said: "Basically, he and I are somewhat related by blood. And we were both murdered by the same person, and we all came here for revenge. However, we can't fight against each other, and now we have to check and balance each other. He wants to kill Zhao. Xing De's right-hand man, but I thought of something more interesting."

"Father?" Huai Shui opened his eyes wide, not understanding what the man was talking about.

Chu Yuyang rode out of the city on horseback. Usually, Zhao Xingduan took him on the horseback. It was quite stable, but today was different. He had to be alone.Chu Yuyang was afraid that something would really happen to Zhao Xingduan, so he rushed all the way and almost fell off the horse.

Ten miles away from the city, the surrounding area is very quiet, there is no sound at all, and there are no people living here.

Chu Yuyang called Zhao Xingduan several times, but no one responded.

He was a little anxious, could he be cheated?In fact, Zhao Xingduan has nothing to do at all?

Chu Yuyang thought, if this is the case, it would be better, he doesn't want something to happen to Zhao Xingduan.

Chu Yuyang searched around a few more times, and suddenly heard a "click", as if she stepped on something.

He immediately took a step back, and saw something on the ground, which was accidentally crushed by himself, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a jade pendant.

Chu Yuyang's mind buzzed, because that jade pendant was so familiar, it was a token of love that he forcibly stuffed into Zhao Xingduan before, a cheap jade pendant bought for one tael of silver.

At this moment, the jade pendant was thrown on the ground, already crushed, covered with dust and... blood.

Chu Yuyang quickly picked it up, the jade pendant was stained with a lot of blood, the blood seemed to be drying up soon, and it probably took a long time.

Chu Yuyang's heart was beating very fast, Zhao Xingduan must have been injured, otherwise why would he have left the jade pendant here for no reason.

Chu Yuyang carefully looked around the place where the jade pendant fell, and found that there were bloodstains in the grass, and there were quite a lot of them.However, no one was seen injured. The place may have been cleaned by someone, and it must have been covered up because I didn't want others to know.

"Master Chu!"

Chu Yuyang thought she had heard it wrong, and when she looked back, she saw Geng Zhi hurriedly running over.

In the winter, Geng Zhi was running with sweat all over his face, it seemed that he had encountered some urgent matter.

Chu Yuyang asked, "What's wrong?"

Geng Zhi pulled him and ran away, saying: "Master Chu, come with me quickly."

Chu Yuyang was dragged by him for a while, and found that they were running towards his house.

Geng Zhi ran panting, and said, "Master Chu, I went out of the city to look for Jiang Liuwu just now, what did you and I see?"

Before Chu Yuyang could answer, Geng Zhi had already said: "Prince Duan! Lord Duan is injured. When I saw him, Prince Duan had passed out and fell into the grass, which shocked me. I thought it was Dead, bah, bah, bah, I can't die, I can't die."

Chu Yuyang was shocked and said, "Then where is he now?"

Geng Zhi said: "Lord Chu, don't worry, I carried Lord Duan to your house. Jiang Liuwu is there, taking care of Prince Duan. I wanted to go back to Dali Temple to report to Lord Duan, but I didn't expect I met an adult here."

Chu Yuyang stopped talking, and quickly followed Geng Zhi to the house.

Seeing Chu Yuyang coming, Jiang Liuwu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Prince Duan has lost a lot of blood, and he hasn't woken up yet. The wound has been bandaged. Fortunately, there is no fever, so there should be nothing wrong."

Chu Yuyang quickly ran into the house, and immediately saw Zhao Xingduan lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Zhao Xingduan's face was very pale, and his lips were light in color.He was lying on the bed, his breathing seemed not as vigorous as usual, but luckily it was steady.

Chu Yuyang quickly reached out and touched his forehead. There was no fever, and the wound should not be infected.

It's just that Zhao Xingduan's body has been bandaged several times, especially on his arms and chest. Although it has been bandaged, bright red blood has already leaked out.

Chu Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and asked Geng Zhi, "What's going on?"

Geng Zhi told Chu Yuyang how he found Prince Duan.In fact, Geng Zhi didn't know what happened.He didn't see anyone fight at all, but he just smelled a bloody smell, and after paying more attention, he found that Prince Duan was lying in a fairly hidden grass.

The grass is very tall, I'm afraid if I didn't pay more attention, I wouldn't be able to find it at all.Zhao Xingduan's wounds are very deep, and if he bleeds a little more, his life will be lost.

Zhao Xingduan was still awake, but Chu Yuyang kept guarding him.When Jiang Liuwu saw Chu Yuyang coming, he ran to the study again and stared at the lotus picture in a daze.

Geng Zhi didn't want to disturb Chu Yuyang, and wanted to talk to Jiang Liuwu.Prince Duan is a master of martial arts, who can hurt him like this?But Jiang Liuwu ignored him at all, staring at the lotus picture in a daze like an old monk in meditation.

Chu Yuyang guarded Zhao Xingduan all day, and hardly walked away.Zhao Xingduan never woke up, and he didn't know why.However, the wound did not bleed anymore, and the situation improved.

When it was getting dizzy, Zhao Xingduan, who was lying on the bed, finally moved his fingers.

Zhao Xingduan felt very tired. He had never been injured so badly in battle before, and he felt that he didn't need much strength.When he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Yuyang's blurry shadow. Zhao Xingduan shook his head, thinking that he had misread, how could Chu Yuyang be by his side, he should be in the capital.

Chu Yuyang immediately noticed that Zhao Xingduan was awake, and quickly asked in a low voice, "How do you feel?"

Zhao Xingduan said weakly: "Why are you here? I'm fine."

Zhao Xingduan wanted to sit up, but the wound was involved, so he took a breath and was pushed back by Chu Yuyang.
