Yue Zhilin didn't get anything useful from Su Qin's mouth, and he was depressed, but he was not stupid, Su Qin said it or not, he had already sent someone to investigate, if Su Qin said, Yue Zhilin could verify it , even if Su Qin doesn't say it, he still needs to know.

When Yue Zhilin returned to the government office, the people he sent out were already waiting in the study.

"What did you find?"

"Five days ago, they encountered an ambush on the Hukou Gorge Mountain Road. 30 people were masked and armed with knives and bows. The Hukou Gorge Mountain Road was narrow. The 30 people suddenly appeared and disrupted the formation of the Huwei army, but the carriage that Tang Ling was riding in was taken away immediately. After pushing down the hillside, 30 people withdrew immediately. When Su Qin led the people downhill to search for the person, there was only the wrecked carriage, but the person was gone.

Su Qin led people to search in the mountains all night before finding him. "

Yue Zhilin frowned: "Will there be any injuries when the person is found?"

"When Su Qin found Tang Ling, he was in a coma, but thanks to the doctor next to Tang Ling, he was rescued.

But Tang Ling had no external injuries. "

"... so strange?"

"My lord, there is one more thing."

"Say."

"Su Qin met the King of Chu while searching the mountains.

The king of Chu was hunting in Hukou Gorge that day.

The Huwei army almost regarded the Chu king's men as assassins.

Fortunately, he met the King of Chu, who brought two hounds and lent them to Su Qin to search the mountains for people. "

"Prince Chu? How could it be such a coincidence? No wonder he said that he knew exactly how Su Qin found someone."

Yue Zhilin pondered for a moment, then asked, "What else?"

"Nothing."

"Missing all night..." Too many things can happen in one night.

If they were assassins, they should have done it when the carriage turned down the hillside. Even if they failed because they were no match for Tiger's Mighty Army, 30 people couldn't kill Tang Ling who was powerless and unconscious in one night?

But if Zhou Guo sent someone to take Tang Ling back, how could Su Qin find him?Something else must have happened that night.

"Where are those assassins? Are there any alive?"

"My lord, when I was attacked, I killed seven people and captured four people alive, but the four people immediately committed suicide by hiding poison under their tongues. After nightfall, the Huwei army searched the mountain and fought with those people again. None of them survived."

"...all dead...they are definitely not bandits."

Yue Zhilin waved his hand, "You go to Hukou Gorge, I want you to examine those corpses yourself, a team of 30 elites can't come without a shadow, check their shoes, socks, clothing, weapons, and everything, no clues can be missed, We must find out where it came from!"

"Subordinates obey."

Yue Zhilin took a sip of tea and rubbed his forehead. He didn't drink much but he felt a splitting headache.

***

In the next few days, Qing Lan never saw King Qi Xiao of Chu again. There were maids and attendants in the small courtyard to take care of her. Dr. Zhou came to check Tang Ling's pulse every day, and Qing Lan watched carefully from the prescription to the medicine soup. It got better day by day, and the smiles on Qing Lan's face became more and more day by day. It seemed that in a few days, Qing Lan would forget about the King of Chu and regard this palace as her own. It was also Qi Xiao's fault The maids and attendants in the small courtyard responded to Qing Lan's every request and took care of everything.

Tang Ling lay on the bed for a long time, feeling depressed and panicked, so she came out for a walk. There were mountains and rocks, forests and flowers in the small courtyard.

"I want to go out for a walk."

Qing Lan was stunned for a moment: "I didn't say that we won't be allowed to go out."

Tang Ling smiled lightly, and said to the maid in the courtyard: "I wonder if Miss can take us around?"

"Young Master, it's good to call your servant, Ayu.

Sir please. "

Out of the small courtyard where Tang Ling lived was the back garden of the palace. Most of the guards of the palace were transferred to the inner courtyard to guard outside the small courtyard. Tang Ling had never seen it when she was recuperating in the small courtyard. Only when she came out did she realize that the guards were so strict .

"Miss Ayu, I wonder if your prince is in the mansion?"

"Returning to your son, the prince doesn't seem to be going out today, and he is probably in the martial arts arena at this time.

Is the young master going to see the prince? "

"If it's convenient, please pass it on to Miss Ayu."

"Then please rest here in the gazebo, my lord, and I will report to the prince right away."

"It's work."

Ayu quickly walked out of the garden in small steps. Tang Ling sat in the pavilion and watched the green lotus in the water, which was delicate but not beautiful, with a faint fragrance floating: "Qing Lan, the scenery here is pleasant, sit with me."

"My lord, why do you want to see the little prince?"

"We stayed here for a few days, and we owe him a thank you for his kindness?"

"But who knows what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd? I don't think he has any good intentions.

This country of Chen is in danger everywhere, without Ye Huai by your side right now, I am really uneasy, if that person has plans for you, I will..."

Tang Ling couldn't help laughing: "What's the plan? If he has any plans, why hasn't he appeared in the past few days? Qing Lan, it's too petty of us to speculate so maliciously after receiving favors from others."

Tang Ling didn't think that Qi Xiao was really a good person who didn't expect to repay his kindness. It was precisely because he didn't know Qi Xiao's purpose that Tang Ling wanted to see him even more. You can't see the danger, but you can't deal with the danger, let alone save yourself.

Not long after, Ayu came back and led Tang Ling to the west side of the palace: "My lord is in the martial arts arena, please follow me, my lord."

The Martial arts arena in the palace is very large, more than double the size of the small courtyard where Tang Ling lived. Eighteen types of weapons are displayed on the side, and there are several archery targets at the far end. Dogs bark one after another in the empty Martial arts arena. A. Holding a stick and a shield in his hand, he was chased by three hounds all over the field.

Qi Xiao commanded the hounds to chase after the whistle.

Tang Ling was stunned when she saw this scene. He remembered the sound of the dog barking, when he was attacked that day.

His carriage turned downhill. Fortunately, Ye Huai quickly pulled him out of the carriage and escaped the catastrophe. The assassins pursued him, and Ye Huai led him to flee here and there. It was a burden, and was soon found by those assassins. Ye Huai alone was no match for more than a dozen excellent assassins. Tang Ling almost thought that he was dead. At that time, he heard a dog barking, and then someone came, and soon Joined the fight, and later, he fainted out of nowhere.

Later Tang Ling asked Ye Huai what was going on at that time, Ye Huai said that the people who came were like friends but not enemies, and helped him repel the assassins, but when he came back to his senses, Tang Ling disappeared. He chased for a while but got lost because he was not familiar with the terrain. After that, he followed the dog barking for a while, but instead of finding those people, he found Su Qin.

Ye Huai was also very puzzled.

Afterwards, he secretly followed Su Qin to search for people. With the help of hunting dogs, he should have found Tang Ling quickly, but there were streams and springs in the mountains, and it was getting dark quickly, making it even more difficult to find people.

Tang Ling was not found unconscious in the forest until dawn the next day.

Tang Ling couldn't remember what happened that day, but he was sure that someone took care of him at night. It was in a cave with a fire and people, and it wasn't too cold.

Tang Ling looked at Qi Xiao, was Qi Xiao there that day?Was it Qi Xiao who saved him?Or, was it Qi Xiao who robbed him?

Qi Xiao blew a long whistle, and the three hounds immediately gave up chasing and biting the government soldiers, and quickly turned back to Qi Xiao.

"good."

Qi Xiao took the jerky from the bag for them to eat, and handed the cloth bag to Zong Sheng, "That's all for today, you come and feed the three of them."

Qi Xiao walked up to Tang Ling and said with a smile, "It seems that you are recovering well."

The shackles on Tang Ling's hands are still there, very cumbersome, but his health has improved a lot. This time, he raised his hand to Qi Xiao, but the same respect was not as trembling and reluctant as before: "Thank you, the lord, for saving your life. kindness.

In addition, I would like to thank the prince for taking care of me these days. "

Qi Xiao's smile grew stronger, and he turned his head slightly to glance at Qing Lan behind Tang Ling, but Qing Lan's face was not very happy, but she was much more straightforward and honest than his son.

"Zi Yi doesn't need to thank you, you are my distinguished guest, you shouldn't have been wronged this time, and I should say sorry on behalf of General Su."

"Since that's the case, I wonder if the lord can remove the shackles from Tang's hands?"

Qi Xiao laughed lightly, shook his head, stretched out his hand to lift the heavy iron chain, and said, "To tell you the truth, this pair of mortal bonds was forged by Master Pan Yun, it is indestructible, and it cannot be opened without the key."

"The key... is in the hands of General Su?"

Qi Xiao still shook his head: "The key to Chenyuan is a pair of yin-yang fish, General Su only has one of them, and the other is in the hands of General Lu.

Now General Lu has returned to Yuanjing first.

If you have been wronged for a period of time, you will not be able to untie it until you arrive at Yuanjing, the other fish of General Lu. "

Tang Ling couldn't help showing a trace of disappointment on her face, but it was fleeting: "Thank you, my lord, for letting me know."

Su Qin's use of Chen Yuan to lock Tang Ling is nothing more than suspicion that the robbers are the spy of Zhou Guo, in order to take Tang Ling away.

Tang Ling couldn't argue with anything, so she had to be locked up by Su Qin.

"You haven't recovered from your illness yet, don't stand here and blow the air, why don't you sit with me?"

"it is good."

Next door to the Martial Arts Field is a tea room, which can be entered directly from the side of the Martial Arts Field.

The small courtyard where Tang Ling lived was heavily guarded, but Qi Xiao didn't have so many guards around him, not even a few attendants.

Qi Xiao ordered Ayu to keep making and serving tea, and there was no one else in the tea room.

Qi Xiao washed his hands and wiped them dry with a handkerchief, and then he picked up the teacup and drank tea leisurely. The boy training the dog in the martial arts field just now suddenly became precious.

"When I first came here, Da Chen was not acclimatized, right? If you want to eat anything, you can ask Ayu. There are two cooks in Yongcheng who can cook Zhou's dishes. I heard they are not bad."

"Thank you, my lord, for your trouble. Everything here is fine and very considerate."

Qi Xiao looked at Tang Ling and smiled meaningfully. According to rumors, this son of Marquis Xun'an was talented and intelligent, but he was not in good health since he was a child. He couldn't practice martial arts or draw a bow. Wu, it's really a pity.

In the early years, a alchemist once made a fortune teller for the son of Marquis Xun'an, saying that he ordered him to be the master of gold, and he would inherit the career of Taibai Martial God.

If it wasn't for the fact that Chen Zhou started fighting again this time, Tang Ling was a military adviser, she had neither official rank nor military rank, but she was good at planning and making decisions, and was good at planning and using troops, which made Lu Fang suffer a lot, who would have thought that there was another Did the charlatan say that?

Isn't Taibai Jinxing the meaning of war disaster?Fortunately, Marquis Xun An did not believe in the mantra of destiny.

"Zi Yi, do you have something to ask?"

The author says:

Is there anyone to chat with me?What kind of cold physique am I... hey... the real name is envious of other people's favorites and comments
