From Zhenguo General's Mansion to Zhibei Yamen, it spans almost half of the capital. On the way, horses' hooves were flying and people were noisy. Xia Zhaoyi avoided all of them regardless of whether they were friends or foes.
I found that the North Yamen was in a mess, things were scattered in front of the door, and the building was empty after people left.
Xia Zhaoyi turned around and went to the Beifu soldiers. Just as the Beifu soldiers were evacuating, the surrounding people no longer hid in their homes and watched. Every household came and gathered in the street, following the soldiers and horses as they left.
Xia Zhaoyi went into the Beifu soldiers to ask about the situation. When he came out, more and more people came out, and the intersection was quickly blocked.
She grabbed the reins to avoid the crowd, mounted her horse and headed to the political hall.
After arriving at the Political Hall, Xia Zhaoyi heard that Ouyang Jungang had taken them away from Wei Zhigang who had taken refuge for a while, so Xia Zhaoyi left again and took a detour to Taifu Yamen, but still found nothing.
She didn't stay long. After exiting the gate, she mounted her horse again and ran towards the west city.
The city was brightly lit, and many people got up and set out under unknown circumstances, following the crowd toward the west. The sea of people was like a surging wave.
Xia Zhaoyi could not avoid the large army, so he had to return to Beifu to fight. He happened to meet Song Qingtang at the door.
"Ah Li!" Song Qingtang saw the girl coming on horseback first and rushed up immediately, "Are you looking for General Ouyang?"
"I can't catch up with them," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Why are you here?"
"I guess you will come back," Song Qingtang said, "My father and the others are fine. The people I sent out at Zhibei Yamen moved faster than Lin Shaojing's people. Now only Mr. Zhu and Cao Sihu have been taken away.
My father and the others are temporarily leaving the city with the troops from Dongping Academy."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded and said, "I need at least fifty top-notch masters. Is there any way you can find them within half an hour?"
"It's very difficult right now," Song Qingtang said, "Ah Li, what are you going to do?"
"Lu Mingfeng is here," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Master Zhu is in his hands now."
Song Qingtang was shocked: "Lu Mingfeng?!"
"Cao Sihu and Captain Lin are dead. Lin Cao killed them. Their bodies are still lying on the street."
"Lin Cao..." Song Qingtang said.
But it's not surprising, Lin Cao can indeed do such a thing.
"Wait a minute!" Song Qingtang suddenly started, "Master Zhu is in Lu Mingfeng's hands now, right?"
Xia Zhaoyi nodded and waited for him to continue.
Song Qingtang looked at the girl on the horse and said: "Du Lieutenant personally led a thousand people straight to the east city, saying that he was going to save Mr. Zhu. Lu Mingfeng's behavior might directly kill Mr. Zhu.
!”
Xia Zhaoyi was stunned and said, "How long has it been?"
"I came here with two sticks of incense, and they had already set off when I came."
Xia Zhaoyi pulled the reins, and the horse turned around sharply and ran straight out: "Drive!"
"Wait for me!" Song Qingtang shouted, turned around and ran towards the Wei Mansion to get on his horse.
Two horses, one behind the other, ran up the long street.
Song Qingtang did not leave at this moment, but chased after her.
When the people along the road saw this, they did not dare to block the road and avoided it one after another.
"There may not be anything going on," Song Qingtang shouted directly, "Don't worry, it depends on whether the emperor has given an order. If the emperor wants a living Zhu Xian, Lu Mingfeng will not kill Master Zhu easily."
"But Li Ju won't give this order," Xia Zhaoyi replied, "he wouldn't dare."
The situation in the capital is unknown and no one can control it. Li Ju is suspicious by nature, jealous and sensitive, and he is determined to retaliate, but he is definitely not a blind, arrogant and arrogant person. Regarding the situation thousands of miles away, he will definitely release the greatest power to Lu Mingfeng
.
And now, although she asked the two Yanyun guards to slander Zhu Xian as a collaborator, it would make Lu Mingfeng feel that Zhu Xian still had some value and would not be killed so easily, but after all, Lu Mingfeng is not a person who can be guessed.
.
This General of Tianrong Guard is cruel, vicious, perverse and vicious. In his eyes, human life is the most worthless thing in the world.
What's more, no one can control the current situation in Beijing.
For example, she and Song Qingtang did not guess that Lu Mingfeng was in the capital, nor did they guess that Xiaohuying would instantly become an enemy. As for Lu Mingfeng, he certainly did not expect that Song Qingtang would inform Beiyamen first.
He sent people to spread the news, and so far he has not captured anyone except Zhu Xian, who was captured by Lin Cao.
According to Lu Mingfeng's character, he must have made sufficient preparations for his visit to Beijing this time, but now he was disrupted. Not to mention her, even Lu Mingfeng may not know what he will do next.
And this uncertain factor is exactly what Xia Zhaoyi is uneasy about.
The further east you go, the fewer people there are. As they approach Xianghai Restaurant, they take a shortcut to avoid the main road.
There are bright lights and a lot of noise in the distance, and you can hear the movement in the distance, it is the soldiers of the Beifu.
Xia Zhaoyi reined in his horse and stopped, raising his eyes to look over there.
"Ah Li?" Song Qingtang said.
Her face was in the semi-darkness and could not be seen clearly.
"Don't go," Xia Zhaoyi looked sideways at him, "Your life is just like Master Zhu, it is very valuable in their eyes."
"You want to go alone?" Song Qingtang frowned.
"I won't show my face," Xia Zhaoyi said, jumping off the horse and handing the reins to Song Qingtang, "You wait here for me, I'll go see if it's too late to persuade Captain Du to come back.
.”
Song Qingtang wanted to join her, but now he really understood her temperament, so he could only nod, and then watched her deftly step on the stone pier beside her, jump towards a high wall, and do somersault with her hands on the high wall.
, jumped onto the roof, and did it in one go.
·
Lu Mingfeng has left the map and is currently sitting there with his legs crossed, reading the letter in his hand.
Mu Tingyu sat next to him, pointing his finger at the table, a little anxious.
He looked at the night outside the house, and from time to time looked at Zhu Xian in the tiger cage.
Mu Tingyu is nineteen years old this year. His appearance is not bad, but compared to the tall nobles in the capital, his height is only about the shoulders of others.
Two more men came in outside the house. One of them said that Xiaohu Camp had gained nothing and could not catch up with Song Du and others.
One person said that the Beifu soldiers in front were coming in force and were checking people door to door. The general area was within these two blocks, and they would find the General's Mansion sooner or later.
Lu Mingfeng did not raise his head, but waved his hand to signal them to leave.
After the two men left, Mu Tingyu turned around and said, "Master Lu, please say a few words."
"What do you want to hear, Your Majesty?" Lu Mingfeng glanced at him.
"What are Mr. Lu's next plans?" Mu Tingyu said, "Song Du and the others may have left from the West City. They are protected by Ouyang Jun's people. We currently have no way to catch up with them."
"If we can't catch up, then we won't pursue him," Lu Mingfeng said. "This is beyond our imagination."
"Imagine," Mu Tingyu repeated slowly, and then said, "Master Lu, what are we going to do next? Song Du and the others can't catch up, and Dongping Academy also ran away with its tail between its legs, then we..."
"We are waiting for someone." Lu Mingfeng said.
"who?"
"Ah Li," Lu Mingfeng curled his lips, half smiling, "When she comes, I will give her a gift."
"Ah Li," Mu Tingyu sighed, "my wife's biological sister."
"Why," Lu Mingfeng looked at him, "the eldest son is the husband-in-law of Miss Xia just like the eldest son of Zheng Guogong's family?"
"That's not true," Mu Tingyu laughed at him, "In order for my wife to have the reputation of being a real person, I even put my good reputation on the line."
