Hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, the right protector only nodded, "He was not injured. The news about his serious injury was actually false news we passed on. After all, if we didn't pass it on like this, you wouldn't have left Anxi and come here, right?" ?」
Protector You's statement can be regarded as answering Jiang Nianjiao's doubts.
At the same time, it also reassured Jiang Nianjiao. At least from this point of view, their strength may not be so strong that even Zhao Yanzhen would have to stay away, and the most important thing is that Zhao Yanzhen is fine.
…
On the other side, in the darkness of night, three secret guards quickly headed towards Leiyang City.
After that, the three of them walked for who knows how long before they arrived in Leiyang City. However, the sky was still dark at this time.
Leiyang City also has the habit of curfew, so when they arrived outside Leiyang City, it was clear that the city gate was still closed.
However, these three people can't control so much. They know that most of the situations in the city will not open the door unless it is an emergency.
So they only picked the city wall and wanted to jump up to the low boundary.
Fortunately, they all have Qinggong with them, and the scale of Leiyang City is not as good as the state capital. Therefore, although the current height is much higher than that of ordinary county towns, such a height can only stop ordinary people, and For this group of people who have been climbing walls all year round, this height is almost more than enough for them to handle.
Soon the three of them climbed into the city wall under the cover of night.
Standing at the city wall, Leiyang City was almost completely dark. Apart from the lights on the streets, the only light that could be seen was the Guanshu Yamen in the center of the city.
The three of them still remembered that Zhao Yanzhen lived in the Yamen in this area.
Therefore, they quickly saw the way to the Yamen clearly from above the city wall, and then they hurried to the Yamen immediately.
Because they had clearly explored the terrain before, they made few detours along the way.
Although there are patrols in Leiyang City, compared to the constant patrols of a team of Jinwu Guards in the capital, the patrols in small counties are obviously much simpler than those in the capital.
There are almost only one or two watchmen who can patrol here. The watchmen are mostly widowers from the city. They only start their work for the day when others are sleeping, and their tasks In addition to walking around the streets to see if anyone has stolen anything, they are also responsible for telling the time.
Therefore, it is okay for these watchmen to look at the pedestrians on the road, but if they want to see these Kung Fu people flying over the walls, it is completely unfeasible.
For this reason, on the road leading to Guanshu, there are only watchmen passing underneath, reminding people at home to be careful with candles and prevent fire and theft.
The three secret guards were climbing over the eaves above their heads.
In this way, they completed the whole process relatively harmoniously.
And when the watchmen arrived at the end of Guanshu and chose to turn around and go elsewhere, they finally came down from the eaves.
Although it is not impossible for them to reach Guanshu through the eaves, it is because Zhao Yanzhen lives here.
And Zhao Yanzhen has many of his colleagues around him, so they don't dare to be such a gentleman anymore.
After all, if they treat him as a gentleman, they will really have nothing to say.
So as soon as they waited for the watchmen to leave, they immediately jumped down from the eaves.
Then they walked directly to the gate of the government office in a swaggering manner.
In addition to the two large stone lion gates in front of the government palace, two government officials were still guarding the door even at night.
Such treatment did not exist before.
Many officials will close the door as soon as they get out of the hall and go to the government office. The poorer ones will also close the government office door, and then the family will go to the backyard of the government office.
But now because of the arrival of King Jin, various personnel from the yamen are arranged here even at night.
So in this situation, even if they get to the door, they don't have to worry about no one paying attention to them.
.
And sure enough, when they appeared, the government officials present immediately said to the three of them warily, "Who are you? How did you get here?"
Facing the other party's rebuke, the three of them did not panic. The leader of them took out his token directly, and then he only said, "I want to see His Highness!"
After hearing what the other party said, the yamen servant reluctantly recognized that the token seemed to belong to someone close to Zhao Yanzhen.
Therefore, he did not dare to neglect the other party.
After seeing the token clearly, the man immediately asked the other party, "Where are the three of you from?"
The leader only said, "Chen Yusheng, we are coming from Anxi."
After hearing the other party's words, a yamen servant soon went inside to pass the message.
The three of them only waited outside for a while.
And the yamen officer came out not long after delivering the message.
There was only one secret guard in black who came out with the Yamen servant.
The secret guard looked carefully and it turned out to be Yan Ziqing. When he saw Yan Ziqing coming out, the other three secret guards immediately recognized Yan Ziqing. .
Naturally, Yan Ziqing recognized the three of them. He only said to one of them, "Why don't you see Princess Jin?"
Upon hearing Yan Ziqing's question, the man immediately showed a troubled expression.
"Is Your Highness inside?" Chen Yusheng asked without answering.
Yan Ziqing only nodded when he heard this, "His Royal Highness is inside. He should have gotten up when he heard that you are here."
Then Chen Yusheng whispered, "In that case, let's go in and talk."
Yan Ziqing naturally had no intention of resisting after hearing this, and then he led Chen Yusheng and three others to the government office.
By the time he got to the main hall in the backyard, Zhao Yanzhen had obviously gotten up.
At this moment, he was sitting on the main seat in the main hall.
When the three secret guards came back, he was still watching for the arrival of the others.
However, after he waited for a while, no one else came in the darkness.
Yan Ziqing obviously knew what Zhao Yanzhen was thinking, so he only took the initiative to remind Zhao Yanzhen, "Your Highness, the princess did not come with you."
As soon as he heard Yan Ziqing's reminder, Zhao Yanzhen's eyes became obviously harsh. He looked at the three people coldly, and then said, "Didn't I tell you? You must stay with the princess at all times." In front of you, now that all three of you are back, what about the safety of the princess?"
Faced with Zhao Yanzhen's harsh criticism, the three people immediately knelt on the ground with a thump.
"Your Highness, forgive me! It was the princess who arranged for us to come back?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen said calmly, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Seeing that Zhao Yanzhen was finally willing to listen to them, they immediately said, "When we were in Anxi, the princess didn't receive your letter for a whole week, so the princess was always worried about the situation there. Until then, the princess I received a letter from Leiyang, and the letter only said that something happened to His Highness."
After hearing what the other party said, Zhao Yanzhen just said silently, "I'm fine, and I've been sending letters to her. You said you didn't receive the letter, so have you ever checked the messenger?"
Upon hearing Zhao Yanzhen's question, the two of them immediately nodded, "Of course they have asked about this."
When Zhao Yanzhen heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, let's continue."
Chen Yusheng, following Zhao Yanzhen's signal, naturally continued the topic, "After that, the princess couldn't sit still. She proposed to go to Leiyang to see His Highness. During this period, we all advised the princess not to travel, but the princess did not We agreed with our dissuasion, so we finally decided to travel. However, when we arrived at Stone Valley, we found that there were no roads in Stone Valley and it was full of stones."
"Because carriages and horses cannot pass, we also suggested that the princess go to the town ahead to rest first, while the other two brothers sent people to Leiyang to report the news."
Speaking of which
Then Chen Yusheng only asked Zhao Yanzhen, "May I ask, Your Highness, if the other two secret guards came to Leiyang City to tell you about the situation we encountered in Stone Valley?"
Upon hearing Chen Yusheng's question, Zhao Yanzhen only shook his head.
"None of them have come back. How did I know that you came to Stone Valley?"
As soon as he heard this, Chen Yusheng's mood sank. He then whispered, "That's the case. Then I think they are probably missing long ago. Maybe they have been dealt with by those people."
However, although Chen Yusheng was a little emotional, he did not dare to delay too much. He then just returned to the main story.
"However, we didn't stay long after we arrived in Huanghua Town. Cuiqiao and the princess discovered that some suspicious people were following us in the inn. They became suspicious, and then we took the princess and fled the place quickly, and during this period we were still I once caught a trainer."
"After that, we temporarily settled in a poor family's home. We originally planned to interrogate each other's origins. By the way, after the news passed, we returned to Anxi first. But we didn't expect that Leng Shisan would suddenly appear in our presence not long after. before."
"The princess and Cuiqiao were naturally unprepared for him. Later, they heard from him that your situation was not good, and he came to take the princess back to Leiyang under your arrangement. And he said that the road to the Stone Valley had also been cleared. , so our original plan to return to Anxi changed again."
"It's just that we never thought that Leng Shisan would lie to us. We only chose to travel at night that day. In order not to be tracked, the princess only made many modifications to the carriage. But we made so many modifications, but there was no We expect that people around us will take advantage of us.”
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen's eyebrows turned grim, "Did you see Leng Shisan? Is he not dead? And he helped others deceive you?"
Upon hearing King Jin's question, the other three secret guards immediately nodded "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen's mood obviously became worse.
After all, when he conquered Yunhu Village, he was looking for Leng Shisan everywhere.
