Chapter 1175 481 Objections

The genius was bright, and Tang Qinghong rushed from the barracks to Luoyue City with a team of men.

After Shi Ziye led his troops to Huiling City, he was arranged by the King of Zhennan to stay in the military camp for a long time. However, two hours ago, he suddenly got a secret order from King Zhennan, asking him to send troops back to the city.

It is said-

Luo Yue found Nanliang's spies in the city and kidnapped the princess Qiao Biao from the palace.

This is a big event, so even though he was rushed back to the city, Tang Qinghong was very satisfied. He was the confidant of the prince, so he entrusted such an important matter to him. Even if the prince is now showing his sharp edge, he cannot shake his status.

Therefore, Tang Qinghong hurriedly ordered a hundred personal soldiers and hurried back to the city.

At this time, on the official road, there were already some people who were working hard for a day's livelihood. When they saw a team of officers and soldiers riding their horses, they hurriedly avoided them, for fear of being bumped into.

Even a group of chariots and horses moving forward at a slow pace is no exception.

Da da da!

The horse's hoofs flew flying, galloping past the carriage and horse, and at this moment, Tang Qinghong, who was at the forefront, suddenly pulled the reins.

call-

The red horse stepped on the spot a few times, and then under Tang Qinghong's order, it walked towards the carriage.

The personal soldiers behind him also stopped and followed.

Tang Qinghong's eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly. This chariot appeared to be ordinary, but it was made of precious rosewood, the axles were made of high-quality red wood, and the brown horse that pulled the carriage was clearly A BMW that can travel thousands of miles a day, even if it is oneself, if you get such a BMW, if you can't cherish it, how can you use it to pull a car! Looking at the decoration around the carriage, it is low-key at first glance, but a discerning person can see that the materials used for the hood and the sides of the carriage are all very elegant.

Even the attire of the entourage was not ordinary. The young man on the red horse was dressed in brocade clothes, with golden crowns and hair, with a kind of arrogance that seemed to be inherent in his body. The horses they ride under their crotch are tall and mighty, and even laymen can see that these horses are rare good steeds.

These people are not ordinary!

Tang Qinghong is no stranger to the high-level mansion in Luoyue City, and there is clearly no one in front of him.

What's more, it's only 90 o'clock now, except for those people who are tired of running around, who would choose to go out at this time?

The more Tang Qinghong thought about it, the more he felt that they were suspicious. Although he was in a hurry to return to the city, if he could make a contribution before returning to the city, wouldn't it really represent his ability?

Tang Qinghong raised his hand somewhat contentedly and asked, "Who are you?"

"What happened?"

The little four who was driving heard the sound from the carriage and replied in a low voice, "Young Master, someone is blocking the way."

There was no more sound in the carriage, Xiao Si understood the meaning of Guan Yubai, and remained calm.

Li Yunqi looked at Tang Qinghong without showing weakness. Everyone in this team was wearing armor, well-trained and forbidden. Obviously, they were not ordinary guards, but the regular army in the southern border.

But why stop them?

Even if it is an inspection, it should be done by the government office, how can the regular army be used. Could it be... Li Yunqi thought about it and guessed: Could it be that King Zhennan heard that Marquis Anyi was coming, and planned to give them a slap in the face? !

Li Yunqi snorted coldly and asked, "Who are you?"

Li Yunqi's accent clearly indicated that he was not from the southern border, and Tang Qinghong's suspicions increased. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers immediately surrounded him, and then he heard Tang Qinghong say, "Don't be too long-winded, the government will investigate!"

Official investigation... It must be the government, but obviously Tang Qinghong doesn't care about this at all.

Li Yunqi was even more convinced that his guess was correct. King Zhennan wanted to dispose of Marquis Anyi! I don't know how An Yihou will act?

Before he brought the imperial edict to the southern border with Marquis Anyi, the emperor had called him to the palace and gave him a secret edict. His mission this time is not only to protect the safety of Marquis Anyi, but also to monitor and prevent Marquis Anyi from forming an alliance with King Zhennan. Once there are signs, he will be given the right to secretly report.

Li Yunqi naturally obeyed the emperor's order. Unexpectedly, King Zhennan sent a ready opportunity. If you have just arrived at the boundary of Luoyue City, you will have to take a note of Ma Wei first. Even Marquis Anyi, who is like a direct immortal, will not be calm, right?

Thinking of this, Li Yunqi was the first to dismount neatly, and the four accompanying people also dismounted.

Xiao Si in the driver's seat followed and got out of the carriage.

Tang Qinghong pointed to the blue curtain behind Xiao Si and asked, "Who is in the carriage, let him get off too!"

Xiao Si replied expressionlessly: "In the carriage is my son. He has recovered from his illness, and his body is a little weak, so it is inconvenient to get out of the carriage."

Tang Qinghong frowned and ordered, "Open the curtain!"

Xiao Si glanced at the carriage, and seeing that Guan Yubai didn't say anything, he raised his hand and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

A faint medicinal fragrance wafted out of it.

Tang Qinghong squinted slightly, and looked into the carriage with sharp eyes, and saw that the carriage was covered with a layer of bamboo-colored carpet, and the cushions, curtains and other decorations were almost all of the same color, which looked simple and elegant. But if you look closely, you will find that the interior of the carriage is very meticulous. The rear crossbars are filled with tiles, and the hidden nails and curtain hooks of the carriage cover are only made of carved cupronickel. Exquisite and delicate, I am afraid that it is not too much compared with the carriage of the palace.

The sick and weak son in a white robe for a month was leaning against the carriage. It is the official language.

The carriage was empty, and with just a glance, you could see clearly, and there was no one except this sick and weak boy.

Tang Qinghong's sharp eyes stared at Guan Yubai for a long time, thinking: Is this the master of this group? Seems to be a weak scholar...

It seems that he really made a mistake.

However, the block is blocked, you have to check it out, or you will be too embarrassed today!

Tang Qinghong said in a firm voice: "This son, get out of the car!"

There was a hint of impatience in Xiao Si's eyes, and he cast an inquiring look at Guan Yubai.

Guan Yubai smiled lightly, picked up a small ebony lacquered gold box beside him, and said, "Little Si, give me a hand."

Guan Yubai got off the carriage with the help of Xiao Si.

As soon as Tang Qinghong waved his hand, two personal soldiers immediately stepped forward to search, one surrounded the carriage to check, the other got on the carriage, and rudely stirred the carriage with the scabbard, from the storage stool, to the food box, to the size The box... and even the wheel and wheel of the car were carefully looked at, causing the carriage to fall apart, and Xiao Si's expression became even colder.

Guan Yubai's mouth always had a small smile on his face, as if he didn't care about the scene in front of him, but Li Yunqi's unhappiness was getting worse and worse.

Li Yunqi is also a disciple of the generals. He had military merits in the battle with Bei Di. In the capital, where did he receive such treatment? Although he had the idea of ​​making Guan Yubai dissatisfied with King Zhennan, at this time he couldn't bear it. Now, he said coldly, "Is it over? Can we go now?"

At this time, for Tang Qinghong, it was no longer just a search.

In fact, if this group of people put down their posture and said a good word or two, it would be enough to let him go down a step. I did not expect that these mere civilians would dare to talk back!

Tang Qinghong swept around again, wanting to see where there were any loopholes, and then landed on the small box in Guan Yubai's hands, squinting slightly, and said, "What's in this box? Show it to General Ben. !"

Li Yunqi finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart. He subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and blurted out, "Pride!"

The four accompanying soldiers behind him also moved in the same way. Although their swords were not drawn, the movement of trying to draw them was obvious.

How dare you use force!

Regardless of whether these people are spies from Nanliang, if they dare to fight against themselves, they must not be tolerated!

It is better to kill the wrong one than to let it go!

With a wave of Tang Qinghong's hand, the personal soldiers pulled out the long knives in their scabbards, pointing at them.

Other people passing by on the official road were frightened and fled, avoiding them from a distance, whispering and discussing.

At the same time, Li Yunqi and the others also drew their swords out of their sheaths, and the silver blades gleamed in the sunlight.

Whether it was Tang Qinghong or Li Yunqi, they were all blinded by impulse at this moment.

For a time, swords were drawn.

There was a shallow smile on Guan Yu's white lips. He quietly kept seeing this until he said, "Li Xiaowei, don't be impulsive."

Li Xiaowei...

Tang Qinghong was startled, the captain was a fifth-rank military attache, and although his rank was far below his own, he was also an official.

If the captain of the fifth rank can only be a valet, who is this young master?

Facing Tang Qinghong's exploratory gaze, Guan Yubai said calmly, "This marquis is here by the emperor's order. If there is any misunderstanding, please also ask General Haihan."

Lord Hou?

The southern border is not like the capital of the king. There are many mansions and uncles everywhere. In this realm, except for the king of Zhennan and the prince, there are no other people with noble titles. Hearing that it was a prince, Tang Qinghong was even more shocked and couldn't even utter a word. Even if this one was a first-rank imperial envoy, he would not be so rude.

After seeing the token handed by Xiao Si, Tang Qinghong believed it, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to put away their weapons. While secretly complaining in his heart why they didn't say it earlier, he clasped his fists embarrassingly and said, "Master Marquis, at the end of the day, you will be on official business, and if you have sinned, I hope you forgive me."

Li Yunqi was about to ask a few questions when he heard Guan Yubai say gently, "It's okay."

Li Yunqi could only swallow that breath, thinking to himself: I have long heard that Marquis Anyi is as gentle as jade, and he is a graceful and turbid son of Shijia, and this is exactly what he has seen along the way. I don't know what he looked like when he led the troops back then, is it possible that he is as gentle as he is now? Then this illustrious battle merit must be carefully thought about...

Tang Qinghong breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately the person he met was not an arrogant and domineering person, otherwise today's affairs would be really difficult to deal with! He calmed down and said, "Master Hou is going to Luoyue City? I can send you a ride at the end."

Guan Yubai nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Thank you, General."

Tang Qinghong gave a wink to Wang Pian, who was beside him. Wang Pian immediately understood and rushed to Zhennan Wangfu to report the news.

Guan Yubai got on the carriage with the help of Xiao Si, even though the carriage had been turned into a mess, there was not a trace of unhappiness on his face.

Xiao Si was expressionless from beginning to end, he jumped into the driver's seat, and the line of horses continued on...

With General Tang Qinghong leading the way, they naturally entered Luoyue City without hindrance. After that, Guan Yubai and his group went straight to the Zhennan Palace.

The vermilion gate of the palace opened wide, and Guan Yubai was greeted to enter the palace, and he stopped until he was led to the gate of ceremonies.

Guan Yubai got off the carriage, and King Zhennan came when he heard the news. He smiled at Guan Yubai and said, "Master Guan, you have been looking forward to it for a long time." Then, King Zhennan looked at Guan Yubai with scrutiny eyes.

Although King Zhennan has heard the name of Guan Yubai for a long time, this is the first time he sees him, and he can't help but feel a little sigh in his heart: This elegant son who does not look like a military general is the one who once had to guard Xi Rong and dare not cross the thunder pond for half a step. The official language is white?

The official language bowed respectfully: "I have seen the prince."

King Zhennan quickly raised his hand and said, "Master Hou is exempt from courtesy."

After the two exchanged a few words, King Zhennan learned that Guan Yubai came with an imperial decree, and hurriedly welcomed him into the main hall in person.

After the servants hurriedly set up the incense table, Guan Yubai took out the imperial edict, walked to the front, and said, "My lord, the prince will read the imperial edict."

"There is Lord Lao." King Zhennan knelt down in the hall and listened with his head lowered.

The imperial decree made of bright yellow silk was opened with a "swipe" in the official language and read out.

When King Zhennan heard that the emperor asked him to send troops to Baiyue to help Kuilang recover, he almost jumped up. Back then, Kui Lang's troops attacked several cities in the southern border, and his vitality was severely damaged, and even himself was once trapped in Fengjiang City by the Baiyue Army... Now the emperor actually asked him to help the enemy to restore it? ! The emperor is crazy!

And the excitement brought by the imperial decree didn't stop there. King Zhennan then learned that Guan Yubai would stay in the southern border to help him.

King Zhennan's face was darkened, no one with discernment could see it, this was help, he was clearly here to monitor himself!

After finally waiting for Guan Yubai to finish reciting the imperial decree, King Zhennan was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath, kowtowed and thanked, and respectfully accepted the imperial decree with both hands.

King Zhennan stood up and looked at Guan Yubai with a complicated expression.

Hey, it looks like I will work with Marquis Anyi in the future.

King Zhennan quickly adjusted his mentality, smiled, and said, "The Marquis has worked hard all the way. If you don't dislike it, you can settle in the palace for the time being."

Guan Yubai did not refuse, but thanked him with a smile.

The king of Zhennan called a maid over and ordered her to send a message to the princess to prepare for the hospital.

King Zhennan sat down with Guan Yubai, the host and guest, and Li Yunqi also got a seat, and immediately a maid served tea. King Zhennan was trying to find out what Guan Yubai was saying, and wanted to know how the emperor would suddenly help Kui Lang to restore it, but Guan Yubai opened his mouth first and said, "My lord, seeing that Luoyue City is heavily guarded, I dare to ask if something is wrong. What's the matter?"

King Zhennan's face stiffened. He was a super-rank vassal king, and his rank was much higher than the second-rank Marquis of Anyi. He didn't need to explain anything to Guan Yubai, but Guan Yubai is now an imperial envoy, and he was accepted on the way. Tang Qinghong's neglect, if he doesn't give him an explanation, if he goes to the emperor to complain, it will always be extra trouble for him!

King Zhennan hesitated for a while, and finally revealed the inside story: "I am shocked by the Lord Hou. The Lord may not know that Nanliang made a big attack a while ago, and the existing Nanliang spies sneaked into Luoyue City and kidnapped the king's niece. , trying to threaten Zhennan Wangfu..."

King Zhennan attributed all the reasons for the martial law to the search for the spies in Nanliang. As a result, he imposed martial law on a large scale, and it was only natural for Shunshun to find his niece.

"I see..." Guan Yubai nodded slightly, thinking for a moment, "Your Highness, have you sent someone to search Maofeng Town?"

"Maofeng Town?" King Zhennan didn't know why he said that.

"Ben Hou met two people with foreign accents in Maofeng Town yesterday." Bai Xin said in the official language, "They also brought a comatose girl. Maybe this is the person the prince is looking for."

The King of Zhennan was instantly overjoyed, regardless of whether the official language was talking about Qiao Ruolan or not, anyway, there are clues!

King Zhennan clasped his fist politely and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou. This king will order someone to go to Maofeng Town."

Not only did this matter involve Qiao Ruolan, but it was more likely to be related to the situation with Nanliang. King Zhennan didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately sent Tang Qinghong, who had just been called into the city, with a hundred personal soldiers to go there in person.

As soon as Tang Qinghong arrived in Maofeng Town, he sealed the whole town with thunder, and all the people in the town were coaxed back by the soldiers.

And those people who were not in the town were all driven to several inns and were not allowed to go out.

This time, it was a great opportunity for him to make merit in front of the prince. Tang Qinghong didn't dare to ignore it at all, and he personally sat at the entrance of the town, while the hundred personal soldiers were divided into a small team of ten, two teams were responsible for blocking the town gate, and the two teams guarded Tang Qinghong's body side, while the rest searched the past with the portraits,

A tense atmosphere like layers of dark clouds hang over Maofeng Town, and a storm seems to be approaching.

All the houses in the town opened their doors, and the people waited for the search with fear and fear, daring not to make any extra moves.

All these personal soldiers brought by Tang Qinghong were strictly ordered, and each family was searched very carefully, messing up all kinds of objects in the house, and breaking a lot of pots and pans, but how could these ordinary people dare to resist the officers and soldiers? One can only admit to being unlucky.

However, it took a long time to search most of the individual homes in Maofeng Town, but found nothing...

Seeing that the sun was getting bigger and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Tang Qinghong also became irritable. At this time, General Wang, who was accompanying him, trotted over, bowed and said, "General, the last general found a bead flower in a long abandoned house in the northwest of the town. This bead flower seems to be Miss Biao Qiao. The..." The problem is that the bead flowers are there, but the people are not. "General, that room is already empty."

Wang Pian will respectfully present a rose plum gold wire hollow bead flower.

At the beginning, King Zhennan specially instructed the painter to paint all the clothes and jewelry on the day of Qiao Ruolan's disappearance according to the description of Qiao's house's maid and maid, including this rose plum gold wire hollow bead flower.

Tang Qinghong recognized it immediately and hurriedly stood up and said, "General Wang Pian, bring General Ben to take a look!"

Tang Qinghong led his soldiers to the mansion mentioned by General Wang Pian, and ordered his soldiers to search the whole mansion. people……

"General," Wang Pian said cautiously, "it's been one night, do you think Miss Qiao Biao has been taken away!"

Tang Qinghong's face was solemn, and this was what he was most afraid of. Once the Nanliang scouts took Miss Qiao Biao away from the southern border, the sky and the earth were huge, where would they go to find someone.

"General Wang Pian, you are here. This general will rush back to Luoyue City to report back to the prince."

Tang Qinghong rushed back to the Zhennan King's Mansion as quickly as possible, and respectfully explained his past to the Zhennan King, and handed over the rose plum gold wire hollow bead flower.

King Zhennan took the pearl flower, his face was not very good-looking, and he said, "This is indeed Sister Lan's pearl flower!" This was the birthday gift Xiao Fang gave to Qiao Ruolan two years ago.

There are pearl flowers, obviously Qiao Ruolan was imprisoned there, but since no one was seen, she must have been taken away! King Zhennan narrowed his sharp eyes and instructed in a deep voice: "General Tang, you go back immediately, take Maofeng Town as the center, expand the scope of the search, and be sure to find the cousin..." He glanced at this point. Guan Yubai paused unnaturally, and emphasized, "Of course, we have to catch the Nanliang spy who kidnapped the Biao girl!"

Tang Qinghong was about to bow to take orders, when he heard the official language sitting beside him say in vain, "Wait, my lord."

The King of Zhennan asked politely, "What's your opinion, Lord Hou?"

Guan Yubai said calmly and slowly: "My lord, this marquis thought that this pearl flower was probably the bait used by the people of Nanliang to 'tune the tiger away from the mountain'. The person should still be in Maofeng Town."

His tone was indifferent and soothing, but it gave people a sense of calm and calm, which made people unconsciously convinced.

King Zhennan pondered for a moment, and finally said: "General Tang, the troops are divided into two groups."

Tang Qinghong clasped his fists to lead the order, flicked his red cloak, and strode away, the sword scabbard hitting his armor from time to time, revealing his inner restlessness at the moment.

Not only Tang Qinghong was not calm, but also King Zhennan. He stared at Zhuhua for a long time, and finally decided not to tell Mrs. Qiao for the time being, lest she be more worried.

In the palace, even the servants felt the anxiety of King Zhennan, and they all lowered their eyebrows, and the whole palace was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.

In the Bixiao Hall, it was still orderly, and was not affected by the unease of the palace.

Nangong Yue sat on the Grand Master's chair in the main room, listening to the report from the mammy below, and sometimes nodded.

Although Nangong Yue had known for a long time that Guan Yubai would come to Nanjiang to meet Xiao Yi soon, when King Zhennan sent someone to tell her to prepare the yard for Marquis Anyi, Fang Zhi Guan Yubai had already arrived. !

This was much earlier than Nangong Yue originally expected.

The heat in the southern border is unbearable, the official language is white and the body is weak, and it is impossible to use a lot of ice to cool off the heat. Nangong Yue thought for a long time and ordered someone to prepare Qingyunwu in the northeast of the palace. And very cool.

It's just that Qingyunwu hasn't lived in it for a long time. Although there are people who clean it up from time to time, except for the large table and chair furniture, all other kinds of furnishings have been put into the warehouse, obviously it can't be directly lived in.

Nangong Yue could only call Baihui back from Xiao Fei, gave her the right card, and ordered her to take someone to clean it up.

First cleaned and tidyed up, and then opened the warehouse, ranging from large screens and vases, small to the four treasures of the study, antique calligraphy and paintings, one by one was taken out of the warehouse to decorate Qingyunwu.

Li Yunqi, who was accompanying Guan Yubai, was settled by Nangong Yue at the Hewen Academy not far from Qingyunwu, and she specially sent Mammy Lu to take someone to clean it up.

At this time, Madam Lu reported to Nangong Yue that the He Wen Yuan had been sorted out.

"... Take some ice and send it to Qingyunwu and Hewen Academy." Nangong Yue said after she finished speaking, "Tell me what I said, both of them are distinguished guests who have come from afar from the capital, so don't neglect them."

Madam Lu bowed to answer the order, and after Nangong Yue gave another order, she waved her hand to retreat.

As it was approaching, the sun was still hot outside, Nangong Yue thought about it, called Ying'er, and asked her to go to the big kitchen, so that some warm sour plum soup was prepared in the kitchen and sent to the study of Zhennan King.

Ying'er led the order out and brushed past Que'er, who was hurriedly returning.

"Prince Prince." Que'er was blessed and reported, "I found Miss Qiao Biao."

Nangongyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and heard Queer continue: "General Tang Qinghong just sent someone back to report that it was found at a family in Maofeng Town who was holding a funeral." Speaking of which, her expression was a little strange. , "Miss Qiao Biao is lying in the coffin! ... However, people are still alive."

The thrush in the room couldn't help but let out a soft "Yeah", and even Nangong Yue's face showed a look of surprise, and then asked the key, "Have Nan Liang's spies caught it?"

Queer replied, "All of them took poison and committed suicide."

There are not many people in the town, and if there are strangers coming and going, it is quite noticeable. That is to say, the mansion where the Nanliang people are the stronghold will never be newly built, at least it should be a few years old.

It took a lot of effort, but now it is easy to give up, and it is still a decisive way of "taking poison".

Nangong Yue always felt that it shouldn't be so simple...
