"Sir, are you sure you want to do this? You don't have to wait any longer. My subordinate has already sent a message to Madam. He also has a group of secret guards with strong martial arts skills. They will definitely be able to rescue Mr. Xiahou."
Duan Yu tried hard to persuade Nalan Lingyu that his method was to exchange one life for another, which was not a method at all.
"When they come, the old man won't be able to hold it anymore. Besides, if so many secret guards are killed to get the old man out, wouldn't it be even more of a loss? It would be better if I come here quickly and the loss will be small, right?"
"Sir, if you say this, my subordinates can't really defeat you, but if you exchange one life for another, how will your wife and the Marquis deal with themselves?
If he dies, I'm afraid because of Madam's temperament, she won't be able to live alone in the world. Besides, there is also the Marquis, and I'm afraid she will feel guilty for the rest of her life.
"Don't be afraid. Baili Mingyu won't kill me for the time being. If he can't see Qingqing, he won't give up."
The most important thing is that he still wants Baili Jian. He has always believed that Baili Jian is his son, and not many people know about this.
Duan Yu fell into deep thought. He knew that what the Lord thinks is true. The Lord has always been strategizing and has never made a mistake. However, Madam is the biggest variable. Every move of the Madam can affect the Lord's heart, even if it is the Madam's.
Relatives and adults will work hard to protect you.
"Go down and get ready. You can't wait any longer. Everything will go according to plan tomorrow. Remember to send Lord Xiahou out of Kyoto."
"Yes, I will go now." Duan Yu could only place his hope on Xia Qingxin now. He knew that she would never let Nalan Lingyu take risks after receiving the news.
As soon as it dawned the next day, Nalan Lingyu had already gotten up and headed towards the south city gate. Countless archers had been prepared there, and he knew that he had successfully attracted all the troops.
A graceful figure appeared on the empty street. Nalan Lingyu walked leisurely on the street, seeming to enjoy the scene.
When the guards around him saw Nalan Lingyu, they were so excited that they wanted to catch him now, but they were afraid of what kind of conspiracy he had set up, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
Nalan Ling glanced at the upstairs on both sides and stopped in place. He knew that many people were looking at him now. This was just right and it would save him the effort to find Baili Mingyu.
"I know you can all hear me, tell the emperor that I, Nalan Lingyu, want to see him."
There happened to be a tea shop next to him. After Nalan Lingyu finished speaking, he sat on the table next to him, picked up the already cold tea, poured himself a cup, and sat there waiting leisurely.
The people in the surrounding buildings looked at Nalan Lingyu who was so leisurely and contented. They were very confused. Shouldn't he be afraid? How could he still sit there so calmly and gracefully? There must be some conspiracy. They must wait for the emperor to come before taking action.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Nalan Lingyu felt that he was a little cold and was about to stand up and move around. Before he was ready to stand up, the archer upstairs aimed all the arrows at him.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just standing up and moving, please be patient."
After hearing Nalan Lingyu's words, everyone obediently put down the arrows in their hands. Strangely enough, these people felt that Nalan Lingyu had magical powers. As long as he spoke, everyone would feel relieved. As long as he moved,
The hearts of all will be lifted up.
Nalan Lingyu walked for a while and felt that her body was almost warm, so she was about to sit down and rest for a while. At this time, Baili Mingyu finally came.
"Nalan Lingyu, how dare you throw yourself into a trap!"
"Your Majesty, you are well. Naturally, I have important matters to discuss when I come to see you. Is your Majesty willing to talk to me?"
Nalan Lingyu looked at Baili Mingyu who was standing on the second floor. He was respectful in every word, but he did not salute. He just looked up at him with a smile.
"My current five thousand troops are all pointing their bows and arrows at you. As long as I give my order, you will be shot into a sieve. What else do you have to talk to me about?"
Baili Mingyu looked at him disdainfully, like he was looking at a clown who was overestimating his abilities, but he still caught him.
"Really? Your Majesty still remembers that there is a prince named Baili Jian. If I die, he will not survive. I wonder if the Emperor has anything else to talk to me about?"
Nalan Lingyu didn't care how he looked at her. If he wanted to take action, he would have done it long ago. It would be her turn to talk to him here.
"You rebellious minister! How dare you hold the prince hostage! How brave you are." Baili Mingyu's veins suddenly popped out when he heard that Baili Zhan'er was in his hand. He was the one who took Zhan'er away.
"Say! You kidnapped the queen together!"
Now Baili Mingyu still has the slightest hope for Xia Qingxin. He hopes that Xia Qingxin is not the one who betrayed him on his own initiative, but has some unavoidable reasons.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Nalan Lingyu didn't answer him directly, but just circled with him in this Tai Chi way. There was still a lot of space behind, so you could use it.
"Tell me! Where are the eldest prince and the queen? As long as you recruit me honestly, I will spare your life!"
"Your Majesty, you hung the Queen's biological father on the tower. What do you think will happen even if you rescue the Queen? Will she forgive you?"
Nalan Lingyu chuckled softly and told an indisputable fact. If you can't love someone wholeheartedly, you can't learn to love someone as much as you love them, and you don't have a trace of trust. This is not love at all, but selfish possessiveness.
Nalan Lingyu and Baili Mingyu were stalling for time here. He looked up at the sun that had come out and felt a little dazed. After this incident, it would be difficult to see her Qingqing again in the future.
"What are you looking at! Why are you still laughing!" Baili Mingyu looked a little angry at Nalan Lingyu who was laughing. Isn't he afraid of death? Why is he still smiling when he is about to die?
"Your Majesty, don't you think today's sunrise is beautiful? I'm wondering how come there is such a foolish king like you in this great country. Sooner or later, this world will no longer belong to the Baili family."
Nalan Lingyu changed his subject and started to speak sharply. Calculating by this time, they should have rescued Mr. Xiahou long ago, already many miles outside the city.
"What are you talking about? Bring him here!" Baili Mingyu was like a lit firecracker, exploding into a pot. His eyes were blood red when he looked at Nalan Lingyu.
"Yes, I obey."
All the archers were taking cover upstairs. After going down, a small group of guards went forward to capture Nalan Lingyu.
Nalan Lingyu looked at the furious Baili Mingyu standing at the window and laughed loudly: "Why did the emperor send people to arrest me? I will go up to you right now."
Baili Mingyu, a coward, naturally would not make fun of his own life. He was also afraid that there was some conspiracy waiting for him here in Nalan Lingyu, so he had been reluctant to go down.
The guards who were about to come to fetch people looked at Nalan Lingyu who took the initiative to go upstairs, a little dumbfounded and a little scared. They all looked at him defensively, fearing that he would make a sudden attack.
Baili Mingyu sat on a chair and listened to the thumping sound coming from downstairs without daring to make a sound. Everyone was waiting for this moment quietly.
It was getting closer, the sound was getting closer and closer, Nalan Lingyu was finally coming up, Baili Mingyu had been waiting for this moment for a long time, she really wanted to step on him right away.
"Welcoming ministers, please see your Majesty." Nalan Lingyu turned the corner and went upstairs. He was still looking at Baili Mingyu with a smile.
Baili Mingyu felt confident when he saw him coming up alone. Well, this man actually has the courage to come up alone, which is very good.
"How brave! How dare you talk to me so boldly? I'm disobeying you!" Baili Mingyu felt so happy that she was finally able to show off her authority.
"The emperor wants to kill me now. I know this. I don't understand why the emperor was so resentful towards me in the first place. Is it just because of the queen? I think it must not be because of this. The emperor is probably jealous of me.
"
Nalan Lingyu picked out Baili Mingyu's little thoughts and exposed them naked in broad daylight, which made Baili Mingyu furious.
"Presumptuous! I'm jealous of you! It's so ridiculous!"
Just when Baili Mingyu was about to continue talking, someone came up.
"Report to the Emperor! Something bad has happened! Xia Zhan was rescued from the city wall!"
Guard A knelt on the ground and reported this mind-numbing news. Xia Zhan was actually rescued under his nose. Wasn't this going to make him lose his head?
"Nalan Lingyu, it's another good thing you did! Okay, it turns out you came here just to delay time and divert my attention!"
Baili Mingyu was not calm at all now. He was tricked by Nalan Lingyu again. He was really angry to death.
"Your Majesty's words are wrong. Didn't I come here? If you calculate it this way, you still made a profit. My value is greater than that of Mr. Xiahou, right?"
"Send someone to chase him! You must bring him back to me!" Baili Mingyu kicked the man who reported the news far away, out of sight and out of mind.
"Nalan Lingyu! You really deserve to die! Someone come and beat me! Beat me hard!"
Since he came by himself, don't blame him for being rude. Even though his son is in his hands and one life is for another, he doesn't say he can't torture him.
Everyone, look at me. Do you think Nalan Lingyu is really out of danger at this time? So they swarm forward to take action.
Soon Nalan Lingyu was beaten until he was covered in blood. Although he was covered in blood and stains, it still could not hide his unparalleled elegance.
The fists on his body finally stopped, and he was lying on the ground still looking at Baili Mingyu with a smile, and that smile dazzled Baili Mingyu's eyes.
The more he looked at it, the more unhappy he became. He felt that the smile was a naked satire on his own stupidity, so he stepped on Nalan Lingyu's face.
"Shut up! Don't laugh! Where did you hide my son? Or are you saying that my son was given to you by that bitch Xia Qingxin!"
It is said that tigers are poisonous but do not eat their own children. Xia Qingxin, a bitch, abandoned her own flesh and blood for a man. It is really vicious.
"If the emperor wants your son, just wait slowly. There is no rush now. What is supposed to come will come anyway."
Nalan Lingyu had never hated a person before. Not only did the man in front of him not care for the people of his country, he also forcibly married off his wife. What their family did was no different from bandits.
"Okay, okay! If you don't say yes, someone will take him to the prison! I will interrogate him personally!"
He still doesn't believe how tough his mouth is, and he doesn't believe that he won't say anything even if he can't hit him. (To be continued)
