Bian Guang mobilized people and sent letters, and surrounded the Huangfu family's manor.
In fact, this is not necessary at all. Except for the disappearance of Huangfu Yushu, the only people left in the Huangfu family who can stand and breathe are Huangfu Lingyun and a few servants, and a group of women in the backyard who have no strength to tie a chicken. roll.
Faced with the siege of Jin Yiwei, Huangfu Lingyun's response seemed very hasty. It would be better to say that he didn't take it to heart at all.
Since last night, he has become drowsy. The high-spirited young man in the past is now sitting on the empty mourning hall with his clothes disheveled, staring blankly into the distance, not knowing what he is thinking. something.
What happened overnight was more terrifying than the fact that Huangfu's family was razed to the ground. Huangfu Lingyun seemed to have suddenly lost everything.
The younger aunt who had been strict but had cared for him since he was a child died, and her body was nowhere to be found. Another older aunt who had a tragic fate was also missing.
And his father, Huangfu Yushu, who he had feared since he was a child, but at the same time admired him extremely, turned out to be a murderous demon. The demons that Huangfu's family had eradicated over the decades were not as good as the fraction of the righteous people he killed in one night. many.
"Master, you have to cheer up."
An old servant knelt down beside Huangfu Lingyun with a bundle in hand. Time had taken away his heroic spirit, and only the persistence called loyalty remained on his old face.
The old servant said earnestly: "Young Master, the Jin Yiwei are currently surrounding us but not attacking us. They are afraid that they will capture us all. If we don't take this opportunity to leave, the Huangfu family will be doomed."
"Huangfu's family?" Huangfu Lingyun laughed miserably. He pointed around and said, "Where is the Huangfu's family?"
The old servant sighed and said: "Master, as long as you are still alive, you can do anything again."
"My family is gone, what's the use of starting over." Huangfu Lingyun didn't even raise his eyelids, his whole body was filled with despair.
"The Huangfu family has built a century-old legacy, are you willing to destroy it in one fell swoop, young master? If so, you have the dignity to go see your ancestors!" the old servant scolded with tears in his eyes.
"..." Huangfu Lingyun just smiled and said nothing.
Although he said good and bad things, Huangfu Lingyun remained unmoved. In desperation, the old servant had to find another way.
"Master, master, why did he become like that? Don't you want to find out and find out what the reason is?"
"..."
In the silence, Huangfu Lingyun's depressed eyes ignited a little light again.
Not long after, the sound of guards in gilded clothes calling the door came from the gate of the manor. They bowed first and then marched. Seeing that there was no movement inside, Bian Guang kicked the door open. At the same time, a large number of guards in black came directly over the wall from all directions and broke in.
Waiting for them were the attendants of the Huangfu family and the family scrolls who would rather die than surrender.
The hundreds of households on the side asked Bian Guang for instructions with their eyes, but he didn't say anything. He slowly pulled out the Xiuchun knife and pointed it directly at the Huangfu family.
After receiving the instructions, the guards under his command immediately took out their crossbows and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Whizzing--
Under two waves of crossbows, all the people in Huangfu's family died. The silent guards dispersed towards the entire manor like a tide. Bian Guang led his men into the middle mourning hall alone, but there was no trace of Huangfu Lingyun.
He was not in a hurry, just closed his eyes and meditated, until a Xiaoqi quickly came to him and whispered: "Sir, a secret passage was found in the backyard, but I don't know where it leads."
Bian Guang opened his eyes: "Lead the way."
Several people came to the backyard. Bian Guang leaned out and looked into the dry well, then withdrew his gaze and waved to several guards to move a big stone and block the mouth of the well.
"Aren't you going to chase me?" Seeing this, another hundred households asked in confusion.
"No need," Bian Guang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has an order. If anyone from the Huangfu family runs away, don't pay attention. Just count the heads and issue the sea arrest documents as usual."
"clear."
...
Just when Bian Guang was leading his men to search the house, a luxurious carriage was speeding down the road in a swaggering manner. Jin Yiwei had many people in the south of the Yangtze River. It was time to close the net. Naturally, there were checkpoints everywhere, but this car was not the one.
No one dared to stop the carriage.
The person sitting in Gein's car was none other than the orphan of His Highness the Crown Prince and the mother of His Highness the Grand Sun—the second young lady of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Ling'er.
Call——
The speeding carriage slowly slowed down, and finally the driver pulled the reins and stopped.
"Miss asked, why did you stop?" A strange girl's voice came from inside the carriage. She was the maid responsible for taking care of Huangfu Ling'er.
The coachman said respectfully: "In reply to your words, there is a gentleman in front of you."
The maid opened the curtain, and Huangfu Ling'er leaned out and saw Lu Hanjiang, wearing a rustling silver robe in front of him, leading his horse in the middle of the road.
A trace of surprise flashed in Huangfu Ling'er's eyes. The maid helped her out of the car. Facing Lu Hanjiang from a distance, she smiled and asked, "I wonder which master is in front of you?"
"Qianhu Lu Hanjiang, I have met the young lady." Lu Hanjiang clasped his fists in salute, but did not kneel down.
Although Huangfu Ling'er's identity is already certain, since Qiao Shifang has the courage to bring this matter to light, naturally all kinds of evidence are complete. Even if he is dead, the people behind him will eventually handle the matter.
Appropriate.
But in the end, there was no final name, so he was polite and didn't kneel down, so it was okay.
"It turns out to be Lu Qianhu."
Huangfu Ling'er's eyes were full of brilliance. She half-hidden her face, but still couldn't hide the smile on her lips: "I don't know why your Excellency is here?"
"I heard that Miss is leaving for the capital, and I'm here to see her off." Lu Hanjiang said with a well-placed smile.
"My lord's words are hard to understand. Could it be that your lord is not from the capital?" Huangfu Ling'er said. The maid behind her looked slightly unhappy, as if she was unhappy.
Lu Hanjiang said: "I'm just worried that Miss will be unable to leave her homeland."
"My lord, I don't know how to repay you for such kindness," Huangfu Ling'er suddenly smiled: "It's rare for old friends to meet each other, but your lord has nothing to say?"
Lu Hanjiang raised the corners of his mouth, turned sideways and made a "please" gesture: "Miss, can you take a step to speak."
Just as the maid was about to say something, Huangfu Ling'er had already taken a step forward and followed Lu Hanjiang. She could only stay where she was with a confused look on her face, whether she wanted to go or not.
When the two of them were far away, Huangfu Ling'er spoke first: "Brother Xiaoqi, I didn't expect that your official career would be so prosperous, but in just a few years, you would already be sitting in the position of a thousand households. It's really amazing."
"As expected, sister still remembers her," Lu Hanjiang's eyes lit up and he smiled slightly: "That's ridiculous, but my sister is really well hidden. If I hadn't met the third young lady in front of Wandao Gate, I don't know when we would have met again."
"Brother, have you been looking for me?" Huangfu Ling'er seemed surprised.
"Of course," Lu Hanjiang nodded and said, "My sister told me exactly what I did back then, but it made me so embarrassed. If I didn't find a chance to win back, how could I have swallowed this sigh of relief?
?”
"My brother's tolerance is a little narrower than expected."
Huangfu Ling'er covered her mouth and chuckled, and said, "In that case, I don't know what my brother wants to do this time."
"Naturally, I will repay the other person with his own way," Lu Hanjiang winked at Huangfu Ling'er and said, "I will find out what you are planning, and then——"
Lu Hanjiang kicked the stones under his feet away without even a sound being heard.
"I don't know what kind of wrong thing my sister did to make my brother hate me so much?" Huangfu Ling'er said sadly, but the smile in his eyes could not be hidden no matter what.
"Sister, have you ever seen children in this world hate their own toys? Of course not, children only hate outsiders who snatch their toys."
Lu Hanjiang looked at Huangfu Ling'er sincerely and asked, "If my sister loses this time, I will arrange for someone to take her life, okay?"
"My brother is so cruel," Royal Ling'er's beautiful eyes sparkled: "What if my sister is lucky enough to win by one and a half points?"
Lu Hanjiang frowned when he heard this, and then sighed slightly: "If my sister wins, then I have to kill my sister myself."
"Huhuhu."
Huangfu Ling'er finally couldn't hold it back anymore, she laughed so hard that tears came out. She gently brushed her hair, her eyes were full of eyes, and her gaze was confusing.
"Sister, did you agree?"
"Huhu, of course, it's hard to refuse my brother's kindness. If you continue to shirk it, wouldn't you be ignorant of good and evil?"
Huangfu Ling'er gently wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and said: "Then as my brother said, you and I will play another game. As for the bet, it is the world, and of course, your and my lives."
"A gentleman's word?" Lu Hanjiang raised his palm.
Huangfu Linger gently high-fived Lu Hanjiang and said with a smile: "Brother, sister, I am a woman."
"Sister said yes, but -" Lu Hanjiang grinned and said playfully: "I'm not a gentleman either."

PS. Well, the prologue of this book is almost over here. Recently, I often see people asking who the protagonist is. It must be Lao Lu. However, this book is a group portrait. Those who can survive until now will be counted in the subsequent stories.
