Heavenly Seven Dragons

Just when the empress was secretly rectifying the harem with the force of thunder, Long Yintian was on the way to leave Beijing.

However, this time he did not leave with great fanfare, but chose to go on tour in micro-clothes, and even the entire imperial court and even the entire harem, only the prince and he knew his whereabouts.

This time when he left Beijing to the south, Long Yintian left in a hurry, because it was about Yongxuan's safety, that's why he lost a little bit of restraint compared to usual, and he did it just for once.

It was ten days ago when he saw the secret report at the sticky pole. Although he was quite frightened and apprehensive at that time, he didn't take any major action right away.

But who would have thought that there would be no news for the next few days, and the information returned from the sticky pole made him unable to hold his breath any longer—"Eighth brother has been missing for many days, and his whereabouts are still unknown. After investigation, Confirmed to be related to the local rebel party. '

The rebels have been banned repeatedly since the entry of the Qing Dynasty, and they were encircled and suppressed several times during the Kangxi period. However, most of the rebels are hidden among the people and distributed all over the country. It is almost impossible to completely eliminate them.

In recent years, due to the stability of the imperial court, the rapid development of the military, and the increasing affluence of the people, the rebel party has no room for development, so he has only secretly sent people to monitor it, and has not encircled and suppressed it extensively, so as not to disturb the people. It caused panic and rumors, which affected the good situation in the country.

Unexpectedly, his momentary benevolence brought such a big crisis to Yongxuan, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, because in his opinion, even if the country is about to be destroyed, it is not as good as Yongxuan's life importance.

In order to save time, Long Yintian traveled south this time by water, and all the people accompanying him were people from the sticky poles. Naturally, this was done to avoid unnecessary troubles and at the same time to avoid the leakage of news.

After all, the emperor's departure from the capital is a major event, and it will inevitably cause interested people to spy on him. If this causes turmoil in the court, it will be even more troublesome.

The green hills are faintly covered with water, and the grasses in the south of the Yangtze River are not withered in autumn.

24 On a moonlit night at the bridge, where can the jade man teach me how to play the flute?

Jiangnan in June is the time when the scenery is the most beautiful. Standing in front of the window and looking at the beautiful sunset, Long Yintian is not in the mood to appreciate it at all. It became more and more intense.

At noon, he received a secret report from Wu Er, confirming that Yong Xuan was kidnapped by members of the Red Flower Society.

He guessed that the reason for the rebels to kidnap Yongxuan was to negotiate terms with the imperial court, or to use Yongxuan's identity to do something, no matter which one it was, they needed Yongxuan to live safely.

Therefore, in order to ensure Yongxuan's safety and prevent the rebels from jumping over the wall in a hurry, he can't mobilize the local garrison with great fanfare, so he can only use the forces at the sticky pole to investigate secretly, so the time will naturally be much slower.

Long Yintian knew very well that Yongxuan was used to rich clothes and fine food since he was a child, and he didn't know what kind of humiliation and suffering he would suffer if he fell into the hands of the rebels. , he couldn't help clenching his fists tightly, with a strong killing intent in his heart.

This feeling was the first time he had appeared since he came to this world. As for the last time, it was already a cloud of the past buried deep in his memory.

At this time, a black figure quietly appeared beside Long Yintian, kneeling respectfully on one knee, his entire face was covered by a silver mask, only revealing a pair of restrained eyes: "Master , the blood drop reported that he has discovered the whereabouts of the eighth elder brother."

Hearing this, Long Yintian subconsciously tightened his five fingers, and the teacup in his hand shattered, but those fragments did not leave any scars on his hand.

Letting go of his fingers, he wiped the tea with a handkerchief and said in a deep voice, "Dock immediately, and prepare the horse."

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Wu Er, help me change my appearance."

"Yes." Because of the master's order, Wu Er, who was also dressed in black, showed his figure, raised his hand and waved away his subordinates, and then seriously worked on Long Yintian's face to help him change his appearance.

As for whether doing so would cross the distance, he never considered it, he would only faithfully carry out his master's orders.

An hour later, Long Yintian galloped along the official road to Wuxi with Wu Er and the two guards at the sticky pole.

After finally getting the news of Yongxuan, he might change sooner or later, that's why he took the risk and only brought a very small number of people to fight the horse first, and the rest of the matter will naturally be arranged by other people separately.

Long Yintian never thought that Yongxuan could be rescued by just a few of them, and he just wanted to confirm the reliability of the news by himself.

Moreover, due to the relationship between the exercises, he still has some special abilities that ordinary people do not have, so he insisted on coming in person.

After all, he didn't want to risk Yongxuan's life, he couldn't afford to bet or lose.

Using the identity of a merchant to enter the city, Long Yintian was guided by Wu Er to a rice store, and the plaque on the rice store only had the word "Longshi".

After Wuer got the code word right, the shopkeeper took them directly to the backyard, arranged their residence neatly, and didn't ask anything else.

This rice shop is one of the footholds of the sticky pole, and it is also Long Yintian's private property. It also uses the name "Long Yintian" instead of the emperor's name.

Water transportation and salt transportation are pillar industries related to people's livelihood. The transportation network spreads all over the country. Although the imperial court did not completely control these two industries, strict monitoring is essential. The sticky pole is based on these two transportation industries. Relying on it, it has developed and grown nationwide.

Long Yintian's involvement in private property is also for future planning. After all, he never thought of dying in the palace. Once there is a suitable heir, he will find a way to leave and live a free life among the people.

And the Long's Commercial Firm under his name, after nearly ten years of development, has become one of the three major commercial firms in salt transportation and water transportation, and has a pivotal position in the business circle in the south of the Yangtze River.

After settling in, Wu Er sent the latest information——"One day ago, Ba Ge appeared in a dumpling shop in the south of the city. '

Putting the note in his hand on the candle and lighting it, Long Yintian led the people straight to the south of the city.

Regardless of whether the information is true or not, he intends to go and see for himself, if Yongxuan has really been there, then he will definitely not be able to escape his perception.

Riding a horse to avoid the bustling commercial street, and taking a detour to Nancheng, Long Yintian quickly found this unobtrusive dumpling shop.

From a distance, this store is very ordinary, it doesn't even have a plaque, only a banner is hung outside, and there is a waiter at the door to attract customers, it looks no different from an ordinary restaurant.

Long Yintian got off his horse, walked into the small shop with Xiaoer's flattering smile, looked around quickly, and sat down in an inconspicuous place.

Although this shop is small, there are many people who come here to eat dumplings. The quality and price of dumplings are naturally very popular with Zhou Wei's neighbors. It is not uncommon to see a few accompanying merchants.

Looking at the dumplings on the table, Long Yintian didn't move his chopsticks immediately, but closed his eyes while holding the wine glass, as if he was tasting the fine wine in the glass, but in fact, he was secretly using Long Yugong , Trying to distinguish the breath left by Yongxuan.

Yongxuan is the person he loves the most, and he is also practicing Long Yugong, so as long as he has been here, he will leave a unique aura, this kind of aura can only be detected by people who love each other, and through this Breath, can also tell whether he was in danger at that time, whether he was safe and healthy.

After a while, Long Yintian slowly opened his eyes, showing a faint smile, and his tense nerves relaxed a lot.

Yongxuan had indeed been here before, and he didn't encounter any danger, nor was he injured or sick. As for the others, he couldn't tell from the breath.

But even so, Long Yintian was still relieved, at least he knew that Yongxuan was safe for the time being, so he would not be too aggressive in the arrangements.

After eating a plate of dumplings, Long Yintian took the people out of here. Through his breath, he already knew the general whereabouts of Yongxuan, so there was no need to stay any longer. It would be troublesome if his identity was leaked.

Back at Mihang, he immediately arranged for more manpower at the sticky poles, and secretly investigated in Wuxi city, because he was sure that Yongxuan should still be in Wuxi city now, presumably he was put under house arrest by those traitors .

Two days later, Wuer brought back a person, who was supposed to be related to the disappearance of the eighth elder brother.

Long Yintian thought about it and decided to meet him in person, so he asked Wuer to take him into the yard.

Looking at the person kneeling in front of him, Long Yintian did not interrogate him immediately, but looked him up and down a few times.

This person was wearing a tattered prison uniform with shackles on his hands and feet. There were still a lot of blood stains on the prison uniform, and various wounds on his body could be vaguely seen. It was obvious that he had been tortured.

However, although his face is pale, his eyes are full of energy. It should be because of his good martial arts, and he is still calm and calm in the face of this situation, which shows that he is not bad.

Long Yintian was somewhat puzzled, so he tilted his head and asked, "Wuer, where did he get it?"

"Master, he was brought out of the prison in the yamen." Although Wu Er did not arrest this person himself, the ins and outs have already been investigated clearly, "This person was reported as a traitor to the Tiandihui When the head went to arrest the person, he got the stolen goods, but so far the magistrate has not interrogated any useful information."

"Then how did you determine that he is an insider?" Long Yintian was a little interested in the person in front of him, but he was more interested in those traitors.

"This person has been in Wuxi for a long time, and the arrest this time is all because he was betrayed by someone from the Red Flower Society. The subordinates concluded that this person should know something more or less." After checking these things clearly, in terms of efficiency and accuracy, it is definitely several times better than ordinary arresters.

Long Yintian nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip unhurriedly, then looked at the person kneeling below, and asked majesticly: "Who are you? What do you know?"

The man was not intimidated by such aura, but raised his head to look at Long Yintian, and said slowly with his usual expression: "I, Xiao Jian, used to be a steward of the Tiandihui in Wuxi."
