Proudly follow your heart

Nangong Cang Ao, as a general and a minister of the Xia Dynasty, was supposed to abide by etiquette in the palace, but his words and attitude were disrespectful, even if the guards outside the gate heard the movement inside, they didn't respond.

Although there is a second prince in it, the other is the commander of the Eagle Howling League who is being reused by His Majesty. The Eagle Howling League said that it is dedicated to thoroughly investigating major cases, but anyone with a discerning eye can guess a little bit, and the Eagle Howling League investigates the case clearly , Isn't that secretly the eyeliner used by His Majesty to monitor the forces of all parties?

Whether it's the first prince, the second prince, or the ministers in the palace, these night owls are all watching. No matter what turmoil is there, it will be passed from Nangong Cang Ao to His Majesty. Rather, a royal spy.

Of course, Huang Mu is a sensible person. This Nangong Cangao can only be wooed, and must not be offended, "You can rest assured, Yingshuai, I just want you to ask for me after you and Jun Zhanran have a deep friendship. It's just where things go."

"What can make His Highness look at you differently and attach so much importance to it?" Nangong Cang Ao is not an easy person to dismiss, and the feeling of being stared at by those eyes is not so good. Huang Mu thought about it, "You must also know that in the Wulou There are many things, many of which are priceless treasures that have been lost for a long time."

"so what?"

Huang Mu changed a smiling face, as long as a man knows that smile, he said in a slightly ambiguous whisper: "You know that beauties and treasures are my favorites, and now the beauties are being drawn, except for beauties, mist There are still those rare treasures sent by others in the building. I just want Yingshuai to pay more attention to me to see if there is anything special. Wouldn't it be better to go out..."

Nangong Cang Ao's eyes did not move, and then he laughed, "Your Highness, don't worry about what I am doing. In my opinion, the master of Wulou is not a stingy person."

"That's good, that's good." After finishing speaking, Huang Mu ordered people to bring wine, and invited Nangong Cang Ao to have a few drinks. Nangong Cang Ao rejected the kindness of the second prince, and soon left Lingyun Palace .

Outside the hall, Shu Yan was already welcoming him, with an annoyed and anxious expression on his face, "Leader, something happened!"

"What's the matter?" Walking along, the expression on Nangong Cang Ao's face was completely different from that of just now. Looking back at Lingyun Palace, he sneered slightly, waved his subordinates back, and took the reins from Shu Yan, "Second Highness It is said that he has two hobbies in this life, and that is to love beauties, and to love the world's rare treasures, so let's talk about it."

"The second prince's acting skills are still so good, and the lord is not too troublesome to go around with him." The second prince's personality, you can't just look at the surface, and after a few words of ridicule, Shu Yan remembered that he didn't come here to say This, "Master—"

He lowered his voice, "Lin Qiuyan ran away!"

"What's going on?" Nangong Cang Ao raised his hand as he got on his horse, his expression remained unchanged, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Taiwei's House.

Just as the sky showed a hint of paleness, there was someone in the front hall, standing with hands behind his back, pacing left and right, Xu Donglin frowned, in his 40s, his not-too-old face was wrinkled into a ball.

Lin Qiuyan ran away, and after Yingxiaomeng handed her over to him, the guards were unfavorable, so she took the opportunity to escape.

"The Eagle Commander is here! My lord!" The butler hurried in from outside the gate, panting and shouting, "The Eagle Commander has arrived outside the door—"

"It's finally here!" Xu Donglin walked out quickly, almost as if he was running. You must know that this is related to his official career, and even life and death.

Someone dismounted from the door and walked towards the door. He was wearing black clothes and black hair, with a long knife at his side, and his brows were full of arrogance and domineering. When he saw him, Xu Donglin seemed to have seen a savior. He wiped his sweat and walked up quickly, "Commander Ying! You are here!" , that Lin Qiuyan—”

"I already know." Raising his sleeves to let him stop talking, Nangong Cang Ao rushed over overnight, didn't sleep all night, his face was not tired, "She ran away, where is the guard, do you have any questions?"

"How can I not ask, I can't find out why, I was almost killed, thinking that Yingshuai wanted to ask questions, so I saved my life." The sky was white, and Xu Donglin's expression was also covered with a layer of paleness. Send her to the palace as soon as possible. The Second Highness said she wanted to ask questions, and the First Highness wanted to ask questions too. After all, what she stole was the Blood Jade Linglong that His Majesty left with me. I wanted to present it to His Majesty after repairing it. How could I have thought of being her..."

Speaking of the fact that the two princes wanted to ask the person who stole the blood jade Linglong for questioning, we can see the importance of this item, but Xu Donglin was suffering because he didn't know what the importance of this item was, otherwise he would have given it to a Pet concubine playing tricks?

Blood Jade Linglong is just a piece of red blood jade, the size of a fingertip, very cute. Who would have thought that such a thing could attract the attention of the two princes so much. After knowing its importance, Xu Donglin realized not long ago that His Majesty wants to He found someone to repair the scratched blood jade, which was a great respect for him.

"...Your Majesty entrusted me so much that I actually lost His Majesty's things. I'm afraid that if I can't find the Blood Jade Linglong this time, my head will fall!" , only Nangong Cang Ao is his only hope right now.

Xu Donglin followed Nangong Cangao back to the front hall, repeated a few words, but he wanted him to help retrieve Lin Qiuyan and find the lost Blood Jade Linglong.

Shu Yan was annoyed by what he heard, and patted the dust on the hem of his clothes, muttering to himself, "I haven't slept all night, it's good to be here, I didn't even take a sip of tea."

Only then did I remember that Xu Donglin hurriedly ordered people to watch tea, and also asked people to prepare breakfast. Facing the table full of wine and food, Nangong Cang Ao ate a few mouthfuls. Compared with the cooks in Wulou, this Taiwei's Mansion was far worse.

People are to be arrested, and Blood Jade Linglong is also to be found. No matter whether Xu Donglin seeks it or not, the unfinished case must be investigated. Putting down the wine cup, Nangong Cangao interrupted Xu Donglin's chatter, "If you want to find Blood Jade Linglong , only one person can help."

"Who is it?!" Xu Donglin stood up abruptly, Shu Yan took a spoon in his hand, and put a mouthful of rice into his mouth, "Don't worry, don't worry, as long as our leader says this person can help, he will definitely help."

Xu Donglin had another glimmer of hope in front of him, and asked Shu Yan, "Who is Yingshuai talking about?!"

Shu Yan swallowed the soup, rolled his eyes, "How would I know?"

Except for Nangong Cangao, except for their own people, the others are a bit distasteful. What he said just now was just a passing word. How could he know who the leader was talking about? Leader, are you still good, or are you good at finding people?"

"Could it be that he knows where Lin Qiuyan is hiding and can ask the whereabouts of Bloody Yu Linglong?" Xu Donglin asked anxiously.

"Neither of them." Unexpectedly, Nangong Cang Ao vetoed it outright, staring at the wine cup in front of him, a smile flashed across his eagle eyes, "But he knows the whereabouts of Blood Jade Linglong."

Clang, Xu Donglin knocked over the seat behind him excitedly, "Who is this person?!"

"The master of Wulou, Jun Zhanran."

During the daytime, there is mist and steam, and the fog tower stands on the top of Fuluan Mountain. The market at the foot of the mountain is still the same as before, without any changes. The hawkers are shouting, and the shops of the merchants are wide open. of.

Wulou's business has been very good recently.There is an endless stream of people who come to ask for calligraphy and painting, but of course, the owner of Wulou does not make a living by selling calligraphy and painting. There is a study at the foot of the mountain, selling all kinds of paper or books. Cinnabar can be found in the shops at the foot of the mountain.

In addition, most of the property at the foot of the mountain is also under the jurisdiction of Wulou. This piece of land was bought and given to the people of the town to do small business. The rent is not expensive every month, so the people of this town live comfortably. It has always been good, and I have more respect for the master of Wulou on the mountain than I feel for the current emperor.

People above the mountainside of Fuluan Mountain are not allowed to go casually, but below the mountainside is enough for firewood-cutters to walk for half a day. Early this morning, the firewood-cutter saw a figure flashing past his eyes. In the blink of an eye, he quickly I thought it was my eyesight.

That figure was Luo Qian. When he came back from outside, the first thing he did was to ask to see the landlord, "Xiao Hu! Quick! Where is the landlord?!"

Luo Qian was cautious, and when he rarely yelled, Xiao Hu ran out from nowhere, "The host just got up and is having breakfast, what are you doing?"

"It's Nangong Cangao! It must be Nangong Cangao!" Luo Qian grabbed Xiao Hu, walked to a secluded place, and said solemnly: "The town's yamen servant has sent a message that Xu Taiwei wants to summon our landlord in secret, ask him A case!"

"What?!" Xiao Hu was startled, and cursed again and again, "I know that Nangong Cang Ao is a good person, but I didn't expect him to trip up our landlord behind his back! What case, I don't think he found it from that thief woman. Create something, take advantage of the problem, and give yourself a step down!"

"Xiao Hu—" A faint voice came from behind the door, and the two quickly shut up, but Jun Zhanran had already heard it.

Xiao Hu originally had a loud voice, even though he lowered his voice, the voice was not low, what's more, the people inside were so skilled, naturally they didn't miss their conversation.

The door opened, and Jun Zhanran was wearing a bamboo green singlet. The window behind him was opened, and the sun was shining. He seemed to be caged in golden light. "Luo Qian, you said Xu Taiwei sent a message?"

"Exactly." Luo Qian snorted, "Then Xu Donglin still knows that the host is Tumei Renpu, and he knows Wulou, so he dare not order the message clearly. It is for someone else to pass the message. Ask the host if he can go and accept the question." talk."

"Then how do you know that Nangong Cangao is instigating behind his back?" The people in Jin Guangli compared him with fans, but Luo Qian didn't dare to hide it, "It was my subordinates who asked someone to inquire about it. Nangong Cangao just arrived at Taiwei. On the same day, Xu Donglin sent an order for questioning, so what is it if he is not playing tricks!"

The hand holding the fan moved, Jun Zhanran frowned, Nangong Cang Ao was really a little unpredictable.

If you are not used to it, just pretend that I have never said this sentence, but as long as I treat you as a friend one day, I will take this matter to heart... That's what he said that night.

friend.

As if forgetting that there were two subordinates waiting for his response, the fan bone hit the armrest of the wheelchair.

The word friend is really ridiculous and extravagant.

Rubbing his knees, Jun Zhanran remembered the expression in Nangong Cang Ao's eyes that day, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, his eyes were burning, and his brows were raised, like the scorching sun in front of him.

It had already been expected that Nangong Cang Ao would deliberately make friends for no reason, but what he said that day did not seem to be false. If it was true, Nangong Cang Ao was either too innocent or too confident to believe that as long as he treats others as friends, That person can only be his friend.

No matter how you look at it, Nangong Cang Ao obviously belongs to the latter, with a slight sneer, he clapped his palms with his folding fan, "Go to Taiwei's Mansion."
