Looking to Chang'an from the North

The two of them knew that something had happened when they saw this letter, so they immediately went to the mansion. Given how much the general attaches importance to Mr. Lin, it may be difficult to explain this time.

The two brothers directly left the carriage, put the letter in their arms, and galloped along the way. The speed back to the mansion was much faster than when they came here.

When Xia Yizheng saw them, night had just fallen, and he was a little surprised that it was so fast, but when he looked behind the two of them, he didn't find Lin Chuhuai's figure, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, and then the two people's reactions It also confirmed his thoughts.

The two rushed to him and knelt down on one knee, saying the last thing he wanted to hear, "This subordinate should be damned, he failed to protect Madam and let Madam be taken away, please be punished by the general."

Xia Yizheng's complexion suddenly became ugly following these words, but he didn't get angry at them, because he knew that it was useless, and the most urgent task was how to get Chang Yun back.

"Get up first, what happened." He was restraining, trying hard to make his voice sound stable, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen to his Changyun.

Zhao Long handed over the letter found in the carriage, "We searched everywhere but found no trace of Madam, the person who kidnapped Madam only left this letter."

Seeing the words on the envelope, Xia Yizheng had an intuition that the matter was not simple. Not many people knew about his arrival in Jiangnan, and the person who did it was most likely an acquaintance.

"We will meet at Xinting Mountain Villa on the outskirts of the city at noon tomorrow. If you don't want the beauty to become dry, you'd better be on time. Remember to come alone."

There was no signature at the end of the letter, and the handwriting was very strange, at least among Xia Yizheng's acquaintances.

The letter was held tightly in his hand, and it was already deformed.What Xia Yizheng hates the most in his life is being threatened by someone, but this person took seven inches of him, he cannot and will not risk Chang Yun's life.

Seeing their general's expression with a rare hint of prey, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu immediately lowered their heads in fear. The last time they saw the general's expression was four years ago when three thousand soldiers died in the battle of Qishui.

Later, the general broke into the enemy camp alone with this expression, and took the head of the enemy general to pay homage to the souls of his brothers.The general did it not only with speed, but with brutality.

For some reason, they suddenly felt a little sympathetic to this person who was so bold as to rob Mr. Lin, it was really desperate.

"Ask someone to explore the bottom of Xinting Mountain Villa first, be careful, and never startle the snake." Since this person wants to see himself, it seems that Chang Yun will not be in danger of his life before he goes.

"Yes." Zhao Long was already blaming himself for losing his wife, and he was naturally very positive when he heard that there was something he could do.

After letting the two of them go down, Xia Yizheng fell into deep thought in the room.

He was not sure who the person who did this was. Although the emperor was most suspected, this was not his style of conduct. Based on his understanding of the emperor, it would be more like to directly send ten or twenty assassins to assassinate him.

Forget it, we will find out tomorrow.No matter who it is, if they dare to hurt Chang Yun half a point, they will have to pay the price.

Xinting Mountain Villa on the outskirts of the city is a summer resort surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is only in summer that noble people stay there all the year round, but tonight it is brightly lit.

When Lin Chuhuai woke up, he only felt a pain in the back of his head. Just now, the man hit him with a stick, and he took a closer look at his current situation after he regained consciousness.

The room was lit with incense, and the smell was a bit strong, which he was not used to.There was a sumptuous dinner on the table, and the bed under him was too soft. If this person wanted to tie him up to do something, then the current situation didn't look like it.

If he said that he wanted to be kidnapped as a hostage, but there was no place on his body that was bound. On the contrary, he seemed to be invited as a guest, but the method of invitation was a little rough.

Just when he was puzzled, the door was pushed open, and Lin Chuhuai looked at the person with some vigilance.

The visitor was tall, more than eight feet tall by visual inspection, with unconcealable sharpness between his brows and eyes, a very aggressive appearance, but a different kind of handsomeness.

This person is not from Tianyu, Lin Chuhuai could tell at a glance.

"I don't know why your Excellency is here." Lin Chuhuai chose to strike first, betting that this person had no intention of taking his life.

The man chuckled, "Please? Mr. Lin is really a wonderful person."

Although they don't look alike, Tianyu's words are abnormal.

"Don't worry, I didn't want to do anything to you when I asked someone to bring you here, I just wanted to invite an old friend to have a gathering. If I invite you rashly, I'm afraid that person will refuse without mercy. In this way, Mr. Lin is wronged to stay here for one night , I will send you back when he comes tomorrow."

hastily?If it is rash to invite directly, then wouldn't it be rude to use threats this time, but the person who said this obviously didn't think so.

"The old man you are talking about is Xia Yizheng." This is not a question, he can be used as a threat, and he is not in the capital, he can't think of anyone else except Xia Yizheng.

"Smart, I like dealing with smart people." The man flipped up his robe and sat at the table, motioning for Lin Chuhuai to sit down too.

"I haven't asked your name yet." Lin Chuhuai sat down opposite him.

The man glanced at him with a half-smile, poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one go before saying, "This wine tastes good, try it."

This means avoiding an answer.

Lin Chuhuai didn't force it, after all, his life was in his hands, so he couldn't force it.He also poured a glass, but he choked and coughed after only a small sip.This wine was stronger than anything he had ever drunk before, just now he looked at that person like drinking water but unexpectedly it was so hard to get into his throat.

The man on the opposite side seemed to be a little surprised and handed over the towel, "I can't even drink this kind of wine, how did he fall in love with you? It's really like the rumors in the northern border that you were forced to marry by your stupid king. .”

There is a lot of information in these words. First, he revealed that he is not from Tianyu, then he stated that he is from the northern border, and finally he said that he had an unusual relationship with Xia Yizheng, seemingly unintentionally.

This is probably a Northern Qi person, or a member of the Northern Qi army.

Lin Chuhuai was not irritated by his words, but smiled lightly and said, "The reason, you can ask him when he comes tomorrow."

Hearing this, the person across from him raised his eyebrows and raised his glass to him, "Alright, you can eat dinner at ease, don't worry it's not poisonous, if you don't believe that there is a set of silver needles on the table, you can try it yourself, if there is anything missing Tell the man at the gate, and he will prepare it for you."

After finishing talking, drink this cup, get up and prepare to leave.

"Go slowly, don't give away." Lin Chuhuai didn't touch the wine, but directly picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth.The reason why he didn't use the silver needle to test the poison was because he didn't think this person would be able to use such tricks.

The way the two get along is not like they have never met before, but like old friends for many years.

But Lin Chuhuai also knew in his heart that this person might not be as easy to get along with as he appeared on the surface.

The somewhat kind person who was still smiling in the house just now suddenly changed his face when he stepped out of the threshold, his face was gloomy, and he lowered his voice and told the guards, "Look carefully, if a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken If you don’t even like it, you can come and see me.”

The guard quickly bowed his head, "No."

The main building of Xinting Villa is the tallest, standing on the upper floor is enough to have a panoramic view of the entire villa.And someone on the roof is already warming the wine, waiting for the owner of the house to return.

Hearing the gradually clear footsteps in the house, the people in the house filled both cups with spirits.This wine is the treasure of Beiqi, and it is several times stronger than the one given to Lin Chuhuai just now.

"I thought you'd stay there for a long time to learn more about Xia Yizheng's recent situation."

The visitor was silent for a while before replying, "I don't need to ask other people for the news I want."

Still as conceited as ever, Meng Lingsu smiled helplessly.

"Ye Lin, risking being discovered and sneaking into Tianyu just to meet that person, is it really worth it?"

"This king came to see him just to personally challenge him."

The man named Ye Lin was none other than Si Nanxian, the regent of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The dead duck has a stubborn mouth, if it is really what he said, why would he bother to tie up his wife, because he wants to see what his love rival is like.

"Yes, yes, you are thinking about the overall situation. By the way, have you met his wife?"

After the person brought him back, Si Nanxian was sent to the wing room to be resettled, and he never handled anyone else, even Meng Lingsu never took a look at him.

Si Nanxian thought about it for a while, the rumored Lin Chuhuai was a handsome young man with great talents and a face like a crown jade.He doesn't know how talented he is, but his appearance is indeed superior in all fairness.

But what he said was a bit against his will, "Skinned and tender like a girl, she almost choked out of breath after drinking alcohol, Xia Yizheng's vision needs to be improved."

People in the Northern Qi Dynasty admired martial arts, and the status of literati was generally low. Military generals naturally looked down on frail scholars who had no strength to restrain chickens.

Seeing this man's serious comments, Meng Lingsu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahaha, Ye Lin, do you know what you look like now?"

Si Nanxian knew that this person must have nothing good to say, so he said angrily, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Tsk, it's like a chicken soaked in vinegar for a long time, it smells sour."

"You..." Si Nanxian stood up and was about to hit, but Meng Lingsu hurriedly hid, and immediately raised his hands in surrender.

The two grew up together when they were young, they were classmates for many years, and they were close friends who lived and died together on the battlefield. Meng Lingsu never hid any of Si Nanxian's secret expressions, even he didn't hide his intentions towards Xia Yizheng. with.In a sense, Meng Lingsu is still his dog-headed military advisor.

"Okay, isn't it just falling in love with a person from the enemy country? It's not a shameful thing."

Is this an ordinary person? This is not only a person from an enemy country, but also the commander of an army, not to mention that there is such a thing between me and him.

But when he opened his mouth, there was only one sentence left, "He is already married, and this king will never share his love with others."

Meng Lingsu was amused, "Yo, this doesn't seem like something you would say. It's not easy to monopolize your true love. If the one in the next room is gone, you don't have to worry about it."

It seems that Meng Lingsu is a gentle and affectionate son-in-law, but his heart is no softer than Si Nanxian's, and he speaks the most sinister words in the most gentle tone.As long as Si Nanxian nods, Dayou can remove this stumbling block for him.

That person and Xia Yizheng got married not long ago, so their relationship wouldn't be too deep, even if they were divorced, it wouldn't have much impact.

The author has something to say: Meng Lingsu: You are like a sour chicken that has been soaked for a long time

Si Nanxian: Get out of here
