Zhao Yuan never expected that this woman was actually a princess. He was stunned and quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "See the princess!"

Princess Chang An said: "Get up, get up, why are you imitating him? Besides, you have saved me twice. I have to let my father reward you well when I go back!"

Zhao Yuan's ears did not feel the slightest pleasure when he heard these words, and he quickly said: "It's just a coincidence that I'm a low-ranking official, no reward is needed!"

Princess Chang An said: "Why don't you use it? I look scared here, so send me back first."

The deputy commander said quickly: "The general will immediately arrange for someone to escort Her Royal Highness back to the palace. Someone is here!"

Princess Chang An's mouth narrowed and she muttered: "Who wants you to escort me?"

The deputy commander suddenly felt embarrassed.

Zhao Yuan said quickly: "I still have something to do here. Please ask the princess to be escorted back to the palace by the commander, so as not to worry the emperor."

Princess Chang An nodded reluctantly and walked outside. The deputy commander smiled gratefully at Zhao Yuan and quickly chased after him.

His mood at this moment can be expressed as elated.

I just gave Jin Yiwei a favor by the way and came here to make soy sauce. I knew that Huayuan Temple was a Buddhist temple on the surface, but in fact it was the lair of a bandit. I never expected that a missing person was actually rescued from the temple.

If you marry the princess, this is like a big pie falling from the sky for nothing. With such merit, promotion and title are just around the corner.

If he hadn't been in front of so many people, he would have really wanted to go up and give Zhao Yuan a big hug.

In addition, after being in the officialdom for so many years, he also saw that the relationship between Princess Chang'an and that Jinyiwei Xiaoqi was extraordinary. Based on this, he had to get close to each other well.

However, what he didn't know was that Zhao Yuan was now extremely distressed. He originally thought that he would be promoted with this opportunity, but he didn't expect that there would be a princess among them. As a result, his situation suddenly became a little dangerous.

The Huayuan Temple case was fruitful, and a total of sixteen women were rescued. Except for five of them from ordinary families, the other ten were from prominent family backgrounds, either rich or noble, and the most important among them was Princess Chang'an.

All participants were rewarded based on their merits. Zhao Yuan was immediately promoted to the rank of general bannerman and was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. The rest of the Jinyi Guards were all rewarded with fifty taels of gold.

After receiving the bounty, they went to a wine shop to celebrate together in the evening. Of course, Zhao Yuan couldn't avoid it, so he just hosted and entertained the guests.

However, while they were drinking and drinking, Zhao Yuan couldn't be happy. He always felt that an invisible ghost-headed sword had been placed on his neck, and it might chop him down at any time.

"Sir, why don't you drink anymore? Now you are the commander-in-chief!"

Wei Zhongcai smelled of alcohol, and Zhao Yuan was promoted to the rank of General Banner, so naturally he was promoted to Xiaoqi, which was what he hoped for most.

Zhao Yuan forced a smile and said: "You drink slowly, I'm a little tired, go back first, just keep the account on my head!"

While talking, Zhao Yuan stood up, drank the wine glass in front of him, and immediately walked out the door.

"Sir, what's going on?"

"Maybe you're not used to being suddenly promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief."

"Shouldn't you be looking for a sweetheart? It's not appropriate for brothers to follow you."

"Hahaha... That's right, come and keep drinking. The adults are paying the bill anyway, so you're welcome!"

…

Zhao Yuan walked out of the inn alone. It was getting late now. Some shops on both sides of the street were closed, but some were still in business. Various lanterns were hung out at this moment, showing a prosperous scene as before.

The sky is still sunny during the day, but at night it is filled with clouds. The thick clouds block the moonlight and starlight, making it look a bit gloomy.

Zhao Yuan felt that he was in the same mood as that day. He couldn't be happy and was a little confused. He didn't know what he should do next. Should he pretend that nothing happened? Or should he be lucky enough that nothing would happen? In this case, he

Isn't it a bit unfounded to worry about the world? It is said that there is nothing in the world and it is only for people to bother themselves.

Zhao Yuan also wanted to be so optimistic, but if he was lucky, the end result would be irreversible. He might be able to escape when the Dong Chuang incident happened, but what about Zhao Dazhi and others? Although they were only their parents in name, but if they were implicated because of

Isn't it innocent? The Jinyiwei will not be merciful when they use their hands, so what's the difference between killing them with my own hands? They have always regarded themselves as their own sons.

Zhao Yuan suddenly became confused and didn't know what to do.

"Come...come...wealth can be found in danger!"

The waiters at the gambling houses on the roadside shouted loudly to greet passers-by.

“Finding wealth through danger?”

Zhao Yuan's body trembled slightly. The original words of this sentence should be: success can be found in small details, and wealth can be found in danger. If you think about it carefully, through the ages, how many people who have achieved great things have achieved it in an ordinary way? Isn't it a risk?

Coexist with opportunities!

Instead of looking forward and backward here, I might as well give it a try. Although the risk is high, there is still a glimmer of hope!

After paying attention, Zhao Yuan immediately turned around and went straight to Lu Bing's mansion. If the truth was found out in the future, many of his people would be executed. Now, taking the initiative to speak out before it is exposed can give him a chance of survival.

The only person left is Lu Bing!

Lu Bing's mansion was not difficult to find. It didn't take long for Zhao Yuan to arrive. At this moment, the vermilion door was tightly closed and the guards at the door had taken a rest. Only two huge stone lions guarded the overly majestic door.

The majestic commander's palace in front of him now looked like a ferocious beast. Zhao Yuan had no idea whether he could walk out safely after walking in.

But now that we are here, how can we go back?

Zhao Yuan was heartbroken, stepped forward, and knocked on the brass ring at the door.

Soon, the heavy door slowly opened, and a servant stuck his head out, looked Zhao Yuan up and down, and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhao Yuan said loudly: "Zhao Yuan, the general banner of Jinyiwei, wants to see you. He is here about Princess Chang'an. Please help convey the message."

Lu Bing was in a high position and held the power of life and death of Jin Yiwei, but his own vitality was also here. Zhao Yuan was now determined to see him, so he simply took the name of Princess Chang'an.

When the servant heard this, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "Wait!"

The door slammed shut again.

Zhao Yuan could only wait patiently, and time suddenly became extremely slow. He originally wanted to calm down and think about how to speak, but found that he could not calm down at all.

I saw that Lu Bing gambled extremely heavily. If he won, he would be fine, but if he lost, his head would fall to the ground.

It felt like a year had passed, and the door opened again, and the servant just now said: "Your Excellency, please come!"

"Thanks!"

Zhao Yuan thanked him and took a deep breath. He could only break into the dragon's pond and tiger's den before him, and he had to try whether he lived or died.

Lu Bing's house was gifted by the emperor, covering an area of ​​forty or fifty acres. He was fully worthy of being one of the most powerful people in the imperial court.

After walking with the servant for a while, I arrived at the study, where the lights were on at the moment.

"Master, the people have been brought!"

The servant said respectfully at the door.

"Come in!"

A deep voice sounded inside the house.

The servant then opened the door and said, "Please come inside!"

Zhao Yuan nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and walked in.

The wooden door shaft made a distinctive dull sound, and with a soft bang, the door was closed.

"I have retreated!"

Zhao Yuan thought to himself, without looking up at Lu Bing, he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Zhao Yuan has come to see you."

Lu Bing was reading a book at the moment. The book was called "Zizhi Tongjian". Hearing this, he put down the book and said, "Get up!"

He was in a good mood these two days. Some time ago, a wealthy and attractive family member suddenly disappeared, causing people to panic. The court even asked the Jin Yiwei to solve the case within a time limit, but half of the prescribed time had passed without any clues. However, just yesterday, by mistake

By accident, these missing women were found in Huayuan Temple, including Princess Chang'an. Lu Bing was naturally rewarded for his leadership.

And he clearly remembers Zhao Yuan, the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi who solved this case. If not, how could ordinary Xiaoqi be qualified to see him?

Zhao Yuan did not get up, but said: "I don't dare!"

"oh?"

Lu Bingqi asked, "Why don't you dare?"

Zhao Yuan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I am a low-ranking official and am committing a capital crime, so I don't dare!"

"capital offense?"

Lu Bing's face became serious. He remembered that his servants had come to report that the matter was related to Princess Chang'an, so he asked: "Could it be related to Princess Chang'an?"

Zhao Yuandao: "Yes, there is some connection. In fact, what happened yesterday was not accidentally discovered by the subordinates chasing the murderer, but someone had already told the official in advance that the women who mysteriously disappeared in this short period of time were hidden in Huayuan Temple. The Minister of Rites

The young master was attacked, and the murderer ran into Huayuan Temple. This was just an excuse to allow his subordinates to enter Huayuan Temple openly. On the surface, Huayuan Temple was actually a secret stronghold of the Brahma Sect in the capital, but they probably also

I didn’t expect that among the girls they kidnapped was Princess Chang’an.”

At this moment, Zhao Yuan also felt that there was no need to hide it. If Lu Bing did not kill him, he had to look at his worth. The more secret things he knew, the higher his worth and the higher his chance of survival.

.

Lu Bing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and his face became even more solemn. He vaguely felt that the background of the person who disclosed the information to Zhao Yuan must be extraordinary, so he asked in a deep voice: "Who disclosed the information to you?"
