There were many traps in the underground palace, and the Lin family activated the killing array again. Even if Qin Zeng led his people back the way they came, they would not be able to leave the underground palace unscathed. Fortunately, they had the young man in purple in hand and successfully encountered the backup brought by Nagasawa. Got the noodles.
Nagasawa and others were trapped by the killing array as soon as they entered. Fortunately, they were well trained on weekdays and there were no casualties.
"Sir, I'm late."
Qin Zeng shook his head and said, "Immediately let people close the city gate. Only people are allowed in but not out. Arrest Lin!"
Nagasawa did not dare to delay and chose two steady men to handle it.
Qin Zeng led people to sweep through the underground palace and arrested all the people inside. When he came out of the underground palace, it was already dark again.
The prince was waiting for Qin Zeng and came to him immediately, "Wei Shicheng, Xu Xiang and others have been under the control of my father... Huh?"
He glanced around the crowd and didn't see Li Miaoran. He was suddenly startled, but in front of everyone, he couldn't ask, and a layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
Li Qingyi knew what he was thinking, so he said: "Lin escaped and Miao'er was captured. Zhenlang has already sent people to seal the city gate and arrest Lin."
When the prince heard that Li Miaoran was still alive, his tense expression suddenly relaxed. However, when he thought of the crazy woman Lin taking her away, the veins on his forehead jumped uncontrollably, and he had to hold back so that no clues were revealed.
He looked towards the young man in purple.
Seeing his cold gaze, the young man in purple felt his heart skip a beat, "What do you want to do?"
The prince just glanced at her, then turned to Qin Zeng with a cold face and said, "This person was taken away alone."
Qin Zeng knew that although his temperament was not very stable, he was actually very measured, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He nodded, "I'll go meet the Holy One first."
The young man in purple felt that the atmosphere was not right for some reason, and struggled: "I, I won't go with him!"
Qin Zeng raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Is it possible that you think I'm kinder than him?"
The young man in purple croaked his lips, thinking that he had been poisoned and that he felt like he was worse than dead just now, so he gave up his struggle.
After they left, Qin Zeng said to Li Qingyi: "I'm not worried about you returning home by yourself. Why don't you talk to Princess An Cheng first, and we will leave the palace together later."
Li Qingyi nodded and went to Princess Ancheng's palace.
Immediately, the other party told her bad news.
"Early this morning, eight hundred miles rushed to report that the cold-weather clothing prepared by the imperial court for the border officers was attacked and burned to pieces with rockets while being transported to the border."
As soon as the news came back to Beijing, everyone in the court was shocked. The weather has become more and more uncertain day by day, and it will snow heavily that day, and the border will only be colder than the capital.
A batch of cotton-padded clothes had been delivered earlier, but the envoy from Chongnan happened to be on the way at that time. Some people thought that there would be no war soon, so they cut corners and enriched their own pockets. When the cotton-padded clothes were delivered to the border, the defender general was furious. I almost traveled eight hundred miles to come back and curse.
When the emperor learned about it, he was so angry that he looked at more than ten heads before giving up.
Who wants to hurry up and hurry up, but this batch of emergency cotton clothes was burned!
Princess Ancheng said: "Now that Chongnan and Dajing are at odds with each other, there will be a small battle for three days and a big battle for five days. There are no cotton-padded clothes, and everyone's teeth are chattering from the cold. How are the soldiers going to fight and face the enemy?"
Everyone knew that the person who set the fire was a remnant of the Yu clan.
, and having powerful power in their hands, they cooperated with the Lin family internally and externally, hoping to bring down Dajing first, and then take Chongnan into their hands.
Li Qingyi said: "Even if the emperor immediately orders people to find a way to make cotton-padded clothes, no matter how fast the action is, it will be difficult to save the emergency. We can only ask Yongping Marquis to find a way nearby."
Princess Ancheng asked in confusion: "What can Marquis Yongping do?"
Li Qingyi said: "Mu Rencheng has secretly been with Chongnan's female Imperial Preceptor in Chencang over the years, and they have obtained a lot of our luggage. If we want to solve the current problem, we still have to find a way from Chongnan's soldiers. I heard that the former emperor's commander-in-chief also had Having encountered such difficulties, even the late emperor himself wore cotton-padded clothes ripped from the bodies of enemy soldiers."

Princess Cheng was surprised and said: "On a dead person?"
"In this place of fighting, who cares about the living and the dead?"
Princess An Cheng wanted to say something, but she saw that Li Qingyi was distracted, "Yier, what happened?"
Li Qingyi hesitated for a moment and then told the story about Li Miaoran being kidnapped by Lin, "I'm afraid my second uncle and second aunt don't know about it at the moment. If they do, I'm afraid they'll be scared out of their wits."
Princess Ancheng was surprised, "What should we do?"
"Qin Zeng has ordered people to lock the city gates and arrest the whole city, but the Lin family's three cunning rabbits are probably not easy to catch. Moreover, the remnants of the Xi clan's plan in Dajing failed, and they will definitely retreat to Chongnan to wait for the opportunity. Really It is a wildfire that is difficult to eradicate.”
Duke An Cheng spoke up and asked, "What if Miao'er is really kidnapped by the Lin family and taken to Chongnan?"
Li Qingyi's face darkened, "No matter what, I will bring Miao'er back safely."
Princess Ancheng was shocked, "Are you going to bring Miao'er back? Are you going to
Chongnan? "
Li Qingyi frowned, "If we can't catch Mr. Lin, I'm afraid the trip to Chongnan will be inevitable. But if my second uncle knew about it, he would definitely not let me go."
"Of course, you traveled all the way to Chongnan, even with Qin Zeng accompanying you, you must be in danger..."
Just as he was talking, a message from the palace maid came in, "Your Royal Highness, the emperor has restored Mr. Qin's status as the heir apparent of Zhenbei Palace. In addition, he has also granted Mr. Qin the title of Marquis of Xinting, and asked him to leave for the border immediately to help Marquis Yongping. "
Princess An Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Why is it so sudden?"
Li Qingyi's premonition was afraid that it would come true, and he said: "I'm afraid that I can't find the Lin family, so I don't dare to delay it any longer. Furthermore, the plans of the remnants of the Xi clan in Dajing have completely failed, and the last chance is to use Chongnan's Power, Marquis Yongping must be in need of help. Your Highness, I need you to do me a favor..."
Princess An Cheng looked at her and said, "You're not asking me to hide it from your second uncle, saying you're going to stay with me these days, are you?"
"This is the only way. By the time my second uncle realizes something is wrong, I will have left Beijing long ago and he will not be able to catch up with me."
Princess An Cheng looked embarrassed, "But if something happens to you, how can I explain it to the Hou Mansion? Qin Zeng will not agree to put you in danger."
This time, Li Qingyi would kill first and then report the matter in the underground palace. Qin Zeng had become frightened and would definitely not agree, but Li Qingyi had to save Miaoer.
Furthermore, she couldn't bear to hide the rebirth of the leader of the Xi clan. She had to find an opportunity to tell Qin Zeng. Regardless of whether he believed it or not, there had to be a reminder.
"Don't worry, I'll quietly follow Qin Zeng's team all the way, nothing will happen to me
. "
*****
At this time, at the border, Marquis Yongping and several generals were worrying about the cotton clothes. The weather is freezing and there are no cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold. Once the enemy attacks, the consequences will be disastrous. But no one could do anything. They had cotton-padded clothes, but they were short of weight. It was okay to stay in a tent, but it would be difficult to withstand the severe cold in the ice and snow.
When the time comes, the soldiers will get typhoid fever. One of them will infect two others, and two of them will infect a bunch of people, and a lot of medicinal materials will be consumed. The cost of medicinal materials is higher than the cost of military rations and cotton-padded clothes.
Yongping Hou banged the table angrily.
