She excitedly grabbed Nan Yanxi's shoulders: "Miss Liu'er? How is she now? Where is she?"
Nan Yanxi laughed: "Brother Xu, please be patient. Miss Liu'er is safe!"
"She was the one who asked me to come down here to find you."
"Oh?" Xu Yan was very happy: "Then where is she? Can brother take me to find her?"
"I'm afraid this won't be easy!" Nan Yanxi smiled and shook her head: "Miss Liu'er has been rescued by us."
"Now we estimate that we have driven out hundreds of miles."
Xu Yan was very anxious when he heard this: "This...this..."
"Ahaha...Brother Xu, please be patient!"
Nan Yanxi once again comforted her by saying, "Although I can't catch up, Miss Liu'er has something to say to your brother!"
"Oh? What are you talking about?" Xu Yan asked eagerly.
"The girl said that if you can go to her at all costs, it will prove that you really like her, and she will marry you!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Yan almost jumped up with joy.
Excitedly, he hugged Nan Yan Xidao's shoulders and shook her vigorously: "Really? Really?"
He immediately took his hand and said eagerly: "Let's go, let's go now!"
"Uh..." Seeing his reaction, Nan Yanxi couldn't help but sweat profusely: "Brother Xu, won't you go back and clean up?"
"As long as you go fast enough, you can still make it in time!"
Unexpectedly, Xu Yan waved his hand indifferently: "I don't want it anymore, I don't want it anymore, what's the matter with me?"
"As long as I can be with Miss Liu'er, Xu doesn't want anything!"
Seeing how determined he was, Nan Yanxi nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Xu is an infatuated person!"
"I admire you! In that case, let's set off now!"
After that, he will take Xu Yan to Tian Mo's secret stronghold.
The two of them had just taken two steps when Xu Yan seemed to remember something and suddenly stood where he was again.
"What's wrong? Hurry up, we won't be able to leave until the officials come!"
Seeing Nan Yanxi's urging, Xu Yan scratched his head in embarrassment: "Um...hehe..."
"There is something that I know I shouldn't say, but if I don't say it, I feel so scared. I don't know, brother..."
"Oh...when did this happen!"
Nan Yanxi looked helpless and said anxiously: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly! Brother Xu, please don't waste any more time!"
"Oh...Okay, okay..." Xu Yan promised, but still stretched out his hand and bowed deeply to Nan Yanxi.
He said respectfully: "Thank you brother for your life-saving grace just now. I am deeply grateful!"
"I shouldn't be so suspicious, but the matter is so important that I really can't just listen to my brother's words."
"I wonder... Miss Liu'er, did you leave any tokens for your brother?"
Xu Yan's every word and every word, his etiquette and manners are extremely standard, showing the temperament of a scholar: "If there is one, please give it to me, so I can see it later!"
"Of course, this is definitely not distrusting brother..."
Being so coquettish almost made Nan Yanxi anxious to death.
It is really pedantic to use such a sentence and bow and salute here.
Without telling him to finish, he handed over the hairpin left by Tang Liu'er in his arms: "Oh my...brother, why are you so coquettish?"
"Send someone to chase you soon. You will never see Miss Liu'er again in your life!"
"Na na na...she left this to me, she said you can tell it at a glance!"
Hearing this, Xu Yan quickly stretched out his hand to take it, took a closer look, and was immediately overjoyed: "Yes, yes...it's Liu'er!"
"This is the hosta I gave her as a gift. My mother left it to me..."
Nan Yanxi could not bear to listen to his ramblings, so she directly stepped forward to hold his hand and ran towards the secret stronghold.
About a stick of incense later, the police from the Nanzhao Kyoto Yamen arrived.
Chunxiang Tower has also turned into a mess.
The police briefly collected the old bustard's body and asked about what happened.
It was only through the tearful introductions made by the ladies and servants that they learned what had happened.
When the police officers heard that there was a huge involvement, they immediately knew that this was a serious matter, and immediately sent someone to notify their superiors.
The boss sent people to notify Gao Qian and the Seventh Prince one by one.
At this time, Gao Qian, the Minister of Rites, had just woken up.
After sleeping all day, he was still a little dizzy.
Although I was wondering why I could sleep so well, I didn't think much about it and just blamed it on drinking too much last night.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his wife walking in with a warm look in her eyes, carrying a bowl of hot soup.
"Sir, are you awake? This is the sobering soup prepared by my family for you. Just drink it!"
"Oh... Madam." Gao Qian smiled and reached out to take it: "Thank you madam... Hahaha..."
"Madam, why do you look so good today? Especially her face, which is rosy and pretty, like a girl."
Lin Yu'er rolled her eyes at him and sneered: "The official is making fun of the slave family again."
"This sobering soup was bought by my family early in the morning. You must drink it while it's hot. Drink it quickly!"
"Okay, okay..." Gao Qian was in a good mood after hearing this. He picked it up, blew it, and drank it all in one gulp.
At the same time, the messenger from the Kyoto Yamen also arrived and explained the reason to Gao Qian.
Gao Qian was stunned: "It shouldn't be? I didn't send anyone to redeem Tang Liu'er?"
"Then the official document has been written and it is true. It can be kept in the study and has not been taken out?"
With that said, he got up and led the messengers to the study.
After searching for it, I shouted that something was wrong, but the official document was missing.
Gao Qian secretly cried out in his heart. In the past, no one except himself could enter his study without permission.
The messengers said that it was Gao Fu, the steward, who took his waist badge and official documents with officials from the Ministry of Rites to redeem the person.
Could it be...
Gao Qian was so anxious that he reached out and touched his waist. Where was the waistband?
He quickly shouted to his servants: "Where is Gao Fu? Call Gao Fu quickly!"
When all the servants heard this, they looked at each other and said that they had not seen him for a whole day.
Only then did Gao Qian realize that something was wrong. Although Tai still didn't know what was going on, his intuition told him that this matter was not simple.
He quickly ordered people to search for Gao Fu, Xu Yan and Tang Liu'er throughout the city.
He also sent people to the city gates to ask if anyone was leaving the city with his own.
He himself quickly went to the seventh prince's house.
At this time, Xu Yan had already secretly left the city under the leadership of Nan Yanxi.
Tian Mo and others who were responding outside the city had already prepared fast horses for the two of them, with three horses for each person.
Manpower has also been arranged at the pick-up locations along the road.
Nan Yanxi stopped stalling and said a few words in Tian Mo's ear, then got on the horse and drove away with Xu Yan.
...
At this time, Nanzhao and Kyoto were in chaos.
They are searching for the murderer Xu Yan, the official prostitute Tang Liuer who escaped privately, and Gao Fu who stole official documents.
Unexpectedly, these people seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
