Accompanied by the galloping hooves of horses, a group of Ducha Si soldiers rushed to the palace.
The emperor, who had returned from hunting, was bathing and changing clothes. He heard the chamberlain say that Huo Lian was here, but after washing, Huo Lian left again.
"I think he doesn't want to take this job anymore!" The emperor yelled angrily.
The hunt was still not over, and the emperor planned to have another archery competition, but after all, it was about using weapons, and Huo Lian was not there to guard him, so the emperor really didn't dare to take risks.
The queen could understand: "That young lady probably spends her days here like a year, after all, Lu Hanlin is here too."
"If you really live like a year, can you survive till now?" The emperor sneered.
What decent young lady wouldn't commit suicide when faced with something like this?
This woman also followed Huo Lian to the banquet, and was doing this and that.
It's just arrogance due to favor, the emperor has seen a lot.
"That's all." The emperor said angrily, "Then let's stop archery and have a poetry meeting."
Since Huo Lian is so domineering, it would be a good time to help Lu Yizhi.
The queen smiled: "I'm afraid Lu Hanlin has no intention of writing poetry. The news just came that he was beaten."
The emperor was shocked: "Who?"
"Miss Xiahou," the queen said, beaming, "Miss Xiahou told people everywhere that she was deceived by Lu Yizhi. Lu Yizhi was not that affectionate at all. He promised to abandon his fiancée for her because she saw Huo Lian's power and wanted to gain fame.
He deliberately competed with Huo Lian for his fiancée, and then Lu Yizhi got angry and quarreled with Miss Xiahou, but Miss Xiahou didn't show any weakness and beat Lu Yizhi."
The emperor was stunned when he heard this.
how so?
Miss Xiahou actually admitted in public that she had stolen her son-in-law, and even got into a fight with Lu Yizhi.
How unbecoming this is!
The Xiahou family was completely disgraced.
How does this look like a serious lady!
What was wrong with the Shangsi Banquet this time? Why did it feel so chaotic?
The emperor was shocked in the palace, and people outside the palace also noticed that Huo Lian left the Xishan Palace.
"Leave with that lady."
"Your Majesty hasn't left yet!"
"In the past, loyalty and filial piety could not be balanced. Is this what Governor Huo calls loyalty and affection, which cannot be balanced at the same time?"
Hearing the discussion, Miss Xiahou, who was sitting behind others, couldn't help but raise her head and asked: "What's wrong with that lady?"
Seeing her raising her head to speak, the maid suddenly became nervous. Could it be that beating Lu Yi was not enough and she wanted to make trouble with that lady again?
She is still a little confused now, and thinking back on what happened just now, she still thinks it was a hallucination.
The young lady couldn't even speak loudly to others before, but now she actually started fighting with Lu Yizhi in public.
From now on, when talking about young ladies, no one will talk about learning and being a lady, they will only talk about fighting in public with a man because of love.
If she hadn't always been with the young lady, she would have suspected that the young lady was being stalked by a mountain spirit monster.
The thought flashed across her mind, and the maid paused for a moment. She did not follow the young lady all the time, but left in the middle. The young lady was supported by a strange woman, and then the woman disappeared...
The maid's thoughts were confused, and others here had already answered Miss Xiahou.
It is true that there are many young ladies who disdain and refuse to associate with Miss Xiahou, but when Miss Xiahou and Lu Yizhi are having such a quarrel, no matter how contemptuous they are, they can't outweigh their curiosity. Once again, there are many people around them, sitting together, and they cannot remain silent.
"That lady seemed to be feeling unwell and went back early." A lady said.
Are you uncomfortable? A trace of worry flashed in Miss Xiahou's eyes. Of course it would be uncomfortable to be chained like that.
"Aqing, who is that young lady?" A young lady suddenly asked, "Didn't you say you have seen her before?"
Curious looks were cast from all around.
Until now, the lady was just a vague word, and no one mentioned her.
What does he look like? How old is he? What is his name? Where are he from? What is his temperament?
Miss Xiahou turned her eyes away with a sad expression: "How could Lu Yizhi let me know what kind of person she is? He has the final say on what kind of person she is."
On the contrary, the woman was silent, which showed that Lu Yizhi had hidden her well, so the women stopped asking questions and started talking about Lu Yizhi again.
"Lu Yizhi is here too, she must be uncomfortable."
"If you ask me, after following Lu Yizhi for so long and no one knows about her, it would be better to follow Governor Huo."
"Yes, look how much Governor Huo dotes on her, he really doesn't care about her."
…
…
While there was a lot of discussion in the palace, Huo Lian had already followed Zhu Chuan to the foot of the mountain.
This is a turning point in a mountain col, with cliffs on one side and ravines on the other.
But the cliff at the foot of the mountain is not steep and the ditch is not deep.
At this time, a carriage could be seen rolling down into a large pit in the ravine.
"Captain, they simply don't care!" Zhu Chuan gritted his teeth and said.
No matter what he meant, Huo Lian understood. He looked back and saw the outline of the palace. Such a close distance was still within the range of the Forbidden Army's warning. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were still further away.
This is undoubtedly a case of kidnapping people in front of the emperor's eyes.
How reckless and audacious!
However, Mohism declined, fell into the world, and was strictly guarded by the government. In addition, in the previous case of the King of Jin, he had to live quietly despite being accused of treason. People have forgotten what kind of people the Mohists were.
Mohists are a group of bold and unruly people.
"It was so sudden. The car was moving smoothly. We were scouting the road in front of us and guarding the road behind us. It was even tighter than when you were traveling, Governor."
Zhu Chuan said.
"I didn't find anything strange at all. Suddenly, it was like an earthquake. Before we could react, the carriage overturned, and then a big hole was made, and the people disappeared."
Zhu Chuan's face was still in disbelief at this moment.
Dreaming is not so magical.
"Found it." A soldier in the ravine suddenly shouted, "There is a tunnel here."
Zhu Chuan hurried over and saw that there was indeed a narrow tunnel with traces of dragging.
This trace was not long and disappeared after crossing the ravine.
This is enough to carry people away in the chaos.
Huo Lian did not look at the traces, but looked at the pit left after being dragged out of the carriage. There were boards scattered in the pit, which seemed to have fallen from the carriage, but he reached out and picked up a piece.
It's not a car plate, and it has grooves connected to something.
"Serial flap." He said, "Using the mechanism used to bury the dead in a grave to rob the living is a multipurpose thing."
Trouble! Zhu Chuan gritted his teeth: "I knew it was Momen who did it!"
He knew a long time ago that he couldn't believe it. If this woman said she wouldn't run away, how could she not run away!
"She really doesn't care." He said, raising the waist knife, "A monk can't escape from the temple if she runs away!"
…
…
The cold knife was pressed against his neck, and even if he wasn't scared, the smell of the murder weapon made him stiff instantly.
Qing Pheasant frowned and looked at the fierce young man in front of him.
This time, the errand boy didn't come to deliver news about the young lady, but looked like he was going to send them all to Linglongfang on their way.
But Aokiji's reaction was even more ferocious than his.
"What did you do to my young lady!" she shouted.
Zhu Chuan sneered: "He is indeed a thief, he really knows how to catch the thief! You ladies, your boss..."
His eyes swept over the maid and the old men sitting and standing next to her.
"Leave you and run away!"
Mr. Wei sneered: "Our leader can run away from you, why can't you take us with you? What a big deal."
This lame man is as sharp-tongued as that woman! When Zhu Chuan wanted to say something, Qing Zhi ignored the knife on his neck and pounced on him.
"What's going on?" she shouted, her eyes red, "She was living well in your house, why did you abandon her!"
Why does it seem like he is the perpetrator and he is the victim? Zhu Chuan caught the maid: "Is there something wrong with your ears? I told you she ran away!"
"This little brother, since the lady said she would live with you, she would never run away." Shopkeeper Lu said in a deep voice.
Zhu Chuan shook Aoki away, took the wooden board in Bingwei's hand and threw it on the ground.
"See clearly, this is your Momen's thing!" he said.
Shopkeeper Lu picked it up and looked at it carefully. Mr. Wei also looked at it and nodded, with a hint of doubt in his expression.
Could it be that there really was a Mohist who robbed the leader?
Not many people know that the leader is in Huo Lian's hands.
Could it be that the rich man borrowed a knife to kill someone——
…
…
"Killing people——"
When Gao Xiaoliu was thrown in front of Huo Lian, he had not returned to the gambling house and was even wearing the clothes of a handyman.
He didn't have time to say anything more. He just yelled "kill someone" when he was interrupted by Huo Lian.
"I don't need to wait until now to kill you." Huo Lian said, looking down at the young man on the ground, and asked, "Did you guys negotiate to kidnap her, or did you make your own decision?"
Gao Xiaoliu shook off the sleeves holding his head, turned over and sat up. There was no trace of fear or trembling on his face, and Huo Lian didn't need to say more. With this sentence, he already knew what happened.
He frowned, suddenly sneered, and looked at Huo Lian.
"Director Huo, I think maybe you should ask yourself." He said.
Huo Lian also frowned slightly and her eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something.
Gao Xiaoliu's voice continued to sound in my ears.
"...Someone wants your life!"
…
…
A ray of light shone from the car board, Qixing squinted his eyes slightly, but before he could see his surroundings clearly, there was a voice in his ears.
"...That's right, that's right. Your sneaky skills are really easy to catch!"
The voice was proud and joyful.
Soon another voice was full of displeasure.
"Liang Liuzi, didn't you say you wanted to arrest Huo Lian? Why arrest this woman!"
