But it was said that brothers Li Xuan and Li Wu, as soon as they arrived at the door of the bun shop, they saw a young man in Tsing Yi shouting "Ouch, ouch", holding his stomach and lowering his head and walking out from beside him.
Li Wu didn't pay attention; but the alert Li Xuan's eyes flashed, and doubts appeared on his face.
Because he felt that the other person's words and deeds were very familiar.
He looked back for a long time, looking thoughtfully at the back of the fleeting young man in green; it was not until Li Wu called him that he came back to his senses.
Wednesday Shen was questioning the shopkeeper of the bun shop about how the buns were made and whether poison was added.
The shopkeeper argued with a bitter look on his face, "Guest, please don't say that! We run a serious shop. If there is really a problem, why is it that only the guest is in trouble, but you are fine?" Woolen cloth?"
Zhou Shen said angrily: "What, are you cursing me?"
When the two of them started arguing, Li Wu couldn't help but frown, "Is there something wrong with the buns in this store? Forget it, we won't eat them!"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't even wash it off even if he jumped into the Yellow River, so he quickly came over to explain.
Li Xuan suddenly turned his eyes and shouted: "Hey, Commander Ling, Butler Zhou, I'm glad to meet you! I'm so polite to you, Li Xuan of the Jinling Palace."
When Ling Yun saw that he was from the Jinling Palace, although he was not very familiar with him, he returned the gift politely.
Li Xuan introduced Li Wu to the two of them again and said, "I have admired Commander Ling for a long time, but I have never been able to make friends with him. Today we are destined to meet each other. We feel like old friends at first sight. We should speak freely and ask Commander Ling to give us some advice."
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Martial Master Li is too polite."
Li Xuan seemed to have forgotten about the problem with the buns just now, and asked the shopkeeper to bring another plate.
Li Wu and Li Xuan had a close connection; when he saw his elder brother acting like this, although he didn't know why, he knew that there must be another reason, so he didn't say anything more.
Of course Li Xuan had intentions. He peeled off the buns bit by bit, chewing them more carefully than the two people just now.
Even the shopkeeper is wondering: What happened to the customers who came today? Did they agree to spend time in his bun shop?
Li Xuan was waiting for the young man in green who had just escaped to turn around.
He wanted to find out who the young master was and to confirm whether his suspicions were true.
Time passed little by little, and maybe it was the people who were waiting that felt that the time was particularly long; but in fact it was indeed a long time, and Huanyu still didn't come back.
Ling Yun's heart tightened and he thought to himself: Linglong is a girl's family, what's the worst chance of something unexpected happening?
He stood up and said, "Why doesn't my brother come back? I'll go take a look."
Li Xuan pushed the dishes away, called the shopkeeper to pay the bill, and said, "It's just right, let's go together."
Ling Yun thought to himself: It would be inconvenient for Linglong to have so many men go to a girl's home. So he declined and said: "Why bother you guys? I don't think it's necessary!"
Ling Yun's evasion aroused Li Xuan's suspicion and insisted on going with him.
Ling Yun was afraid that his insistence on refusing would arouse everyone's suspicion and expose Linglong's identity as a man disguised as a woman, so he had no choice but to agree.
Ling Yun, Li Xuan, Li Wu, Zhou Shen and other shopkeepers came to the courtyard.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement, so Ling Yun had to ask the shopkeeper: "Where is the toilet in your store?"
The shopkeeper led everyone outside the toilet.
Ling Yun, Li Xuan and others all had scruples and did not dare to go in rashly. They only shouted outside: "Is there anyone inside? We have to go in if there is no one!"
No one inside responded. Aren't people inside? Or did Linglong really eat something poisonous and fainted?
Ling Yun couldn't care about anything else anymore, he broke into the toilet in one stride.
The toilet was empty.
what happened? Is this girl Linglong playing tricks on her, or has something really happened to her? …
Seeing Ling Yun's frustrated look, Li Xuan turned his eyes and suddenly asked: "By the way, I haven't asked Commander Ling yet, do you know your brother's name?"
Ling Yun could only tell him: "His name is Yu Huan."
"Yu Huan?"
"Yes, Yuhuan. The jade of pearls and jade is the king of jade." Ling Yun responded to the matter according to the rhetoric that Linglong had told him before.
"Yu Huan?" Li Xuan sneered in his heart. I thought to myself: The princess's maiden name is Huanyu. Isn't the word "Yuhuan" the reverse reading of the word "Huanyu"?
In this way, my guess was indeed correct. The young man in Tsing Yi who just slipped away from me must be Princess Huanyu.
Princess Huanyu has been missing for so long. It turns out that she was abducted by your Commander Ling Yunling from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment!
Ling Yun, you are so brave, you even dare to seduce the princess! Once the matter is confirmed, how should you, Ling Yun, respond?
Although Li Xuan had all kinds of thoughts in his mind, his face remained calm. Because the matter had not been finally confirmed, he did not dare to jump to conclusions and alert others.
He wants to wait until everyone has the stolen goods before he makes a move. When the proof is irrefutable, what else can Ling Yun say?
He calmed down and pretended to be anxious: "Oh, this Brother Jade is still missing. Could it be that something happened? Commander Ling, let the brothers go search with you!"
Ling Yun only took Li Xuan's polite words as a courtesy and said: "Why bother, Brother Li? My brother is naughty by nature. Maybe he is deliberately joking with you and me! It's getting late, so please go back and rest."
Li Xuan said a few polite words, and then he and Li Wu said goodbye to Ling Yun.
Li Xuan and Li Wu left the bun shop and walked towards the Jinling Palace.
Li Wudao: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Li Xuan said: "Don't you see it?"
Li Wudao: "What are you talking about? We brothers are all in touch with each other. What can you hide from me? I just don't understand why you don't get to the bottom of it and get to the bottom of it, but then -"
Li Xuan smiled and said: "Do you know what 'play hard to get' means? Firstly, we are not sure whether the young master in Qingyi is really the princess, so we can't scare the snake; secondly, if that person is really the princess, she will hide tonight It won’t come out again, why should we wait any longer?”
"Then what should we do?"
Li Xuan said: "Let them go tonight. Let the Eighteenth Sister check the roots first. If the princess is really in the Shangshu's Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment, then not only Ling Yun, I'm afraid even Lu Wenzheng will be involved!"
Li Wu nodded and said: "Brother, what you said makes sense. It's just that Lu Wenzheng and Ling Yun were so smart that they dared to abduct and hide the princess!"
Li Xuan said: "I think most likely they don't know anything about it. When I was talking to Ling Yun just now, I saw that he didn't seem to be on guard.
"He deserves to be unlucky! When the evidence is conclusive, let's see what else they can say about their crimes of knowingly breaking the law, abducting the princess, and deceiving the king? This will also eliminate our major worries and establish a foundation for our Tianxiao. It’s a great achievement, why not do it?”
Li Xuan and Li Wu were already talking with great joy and excitement.
As for Ling Yun, he was concerned about Linglong, so he broke up with Zhou Shen in a hurry and wandered the deserted streets, feeling uneasy and wondering what happened to Linglong.
At this time, he began to complain in his heart that he should not have been so soft-hearted and allowed her to cause such trouble.
The moonlight is like water, with mottled osmanthus shadows. Ling Yun felt extremely sleepy, so he walked to the roadside and sat down on a stone. He stared at the movement on the street, hoping to see Linglong's figure.
At this time, Linglong really appeared. Only not on the street, but in the grass behind him.
She spied on what was going on around her and crept closer to Ling Yun's back. She wanted to surprise him and tease him.
Ling Yun just paid attention to the movement on the street without moving.
Linglong suddenly stretched out her hand, wrapped her arms, and covered his eyes.
My hands are everywhere but I feel lost. Once she was in the air, she couldn't stop her body. She took two steps forward and almost fell down. His foot flickered while he was rushing forward, and it hurt from his sprain.
When he looked again, Ling Yun was already a few steps away.
Huan Yu said angrily: "What are you doing?"
Ling Yun said coldly: "I should be the one who said this, what are you doing?"
Huan Yu said: "Is this just a joke on you?"
Ling Yun said: "Don't you think the jokes tonight were enough?"
Huanyu choked for a moment.
Ling Yun said angrily: "Tell me, what kind of hide-and-seek were you trying to hide with me just now?"
Huanyu explained: "I'm not playing hide-and-seek with you! I just came out and saw that the moonlight tonight is very good and the cool breeze is blowing, so I just wanted to come out and get some fresh air."
Ling Yun thought to himself: "You are so good at breathing. It made me look for him most of the night."
He didn't bother to argue with her anymore, he just said: "Let's go." He walked away.
Huanyu had no choice but to follow behind. She asked cautiously: "Brother Ling, were you not angry with me just now?"
Ling Yun said: "No."
Huan Yu said: "Really? I knew you were broad-minded and wouldn't argue with me, right?"
Ling Yun ignored her and walked forward.
On this day, Ling Yun was so tired that Bai Yunxuan fell asleep.
Huanyu slept very restlessly that night. She had a terrible nightmare, dreaming that her father, Li Xuan, Li Wu and others brought many guards to the Lu Mansion, captured her back to the Jinling Palace, and forced her to marry Ding Jiying. She cried and fussed, but to no avail...
At breakfast the next day, she just felt groggy and unwilling to eat.
Ling Yun saw that her face was pale and listless, so he asked, "Linglong, what's wrong with you?"
Huan Yu said: "I didn't sleep well last night. I had a nightmare. I dreamed that my father took me back and forced me to marry that playboy-"
Her voice became sad, "Brother Ling, if one day they really come to arrest me, what should I do?"
Ling Yun didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time he said in a deep voice: "Linglong, let me tell you something serious, don't be unhappy."
Huan Yu looked at him dreamingly and said, "Brother Ling, tell me!"
Ling Yun said seriously: "I think you really should go back."
Huan Yu pursed her lips and said, "Why?——"
Ling Yun said: "Because hiding like this is not an option. Some things always have to be faced. Since your parents have promised you to that young master, they must have their reasons; if you don't agree, you should tell them Open up and discuss solutions to the problem together instead of just running away.”
Huan Yu said: "Do you think I haven't told them, but is it useful? They are overbearing and can't listen to me at all... If they insist on forcing me to marry someone I don't like, Brother Ling, you Will you make the decision for me?
Ling Yun's face darkened and he said decisively: "Linglong, I'm sorry, I can help you with everything else, but I can't help you with this matter."
Huan Yu said: "Why?..."
Why, why, are you a hundred thousand whys? Ling Yun complained in his heart.
He could only say patiently: "Because this is your own family matter, I really can't interfere."
Huan Yu blurted out: "How can this be just my own family matter? Brother Ling, don't you still understand my feelings now? In fact, I..." At this point, Huan Yu blushed and stopped talking. , she raised her face and looked straight at him with a pair of autumn eyes.
Ling Yun heard that the other party's tone was wrong. He raised his head and met Huan Yu's loving eyes.
Ling Yun's heart couldn't help but twitch. He didn't speak, just lowered his head to eat. He was neither crazy nor stupid, so he didn't understand the other person's thoughts, and a trace of inexplicable worries came to his heart.
Huanyu was waiting for his reply. Seeing that he was still silent, she couldn't help but urge: "Brother Ling, you haven't answered me yet..."
Ling Yun put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at her with bright eyes, and said slowly: "Linglong, don't act like a child. If possible, go home as soon as possible! Please forgive me, I really can't help you in this matter. …”
He bit his lip, considered the words, and said with some difficulty: "And I think you and I are still suitable for being friends."
Huanyu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, pouted and said: "Why? I don't, I..."
At this time, there were sudden footsteps outside, and Yang Zhenfeng came in angrily and said: "Brother Ling, why are you still here? Come on, Mr. Lu has something to ask you!"
After saying this, he couldn't help but drag Ling Yun away. Huanyu was left alone in the same place, with an unhappy look on his face...
After Ling Yun finished handling the affairs in the mansion, he did not return to Baiyunxuan. Instead, he left the mansion and walked aimlessly on the streets of the capital.
There wasn't much going on in the house these days, and he didn't have any more thoughts to think about those tedious things. He just wanted to come out and breathe, and find the long-lost happiness in his heart.
But he couldn't be happy anyway. The exquisite face lingers in front of my eyes, lingering.
He suddenly smiled bitterly: What does this mean? A woman who escaped from marriage ran away from home. I originally took her in with good intentions, but she caused such trouble. I really don't know how this matter will end?
Walking leisurely, I don’t feel like I’m outside the city.
It is late spring now, with poplars and elm trees hanging between them, and snow flying all over the sky; birds are chirping everywhere, and falling flowers are in full bloom.
Ling Yun walked forward through the fallen flowers on the ground, melancholy and worry enveloped his heart.
At this time, he saw a familiar figure from behind. The graceful figure and flying hair are sad and alienating. He walked over step by step.
When the woman heard the footsteps behind her, she couldn't help but turn around, glanced at him and said, "Why, do you have such leisure time to come out to relax?"
Ling Yun said: "That's what I wanted to ask you too."
A tired smile appeared on the woman's beautiful face. She is Yu Qingcheng, the proprietress of the silk and satin shop.
After not seeing each other for many days, Ling Yun found that the other party was much pale and haggard. His face was thin, his jaw was pointed, and his beautiful eyes were getting bigger, giving him a sickly look.
Wednesday Shen was indeed right.
Yu Qingcheng said: "It's really a clear understanding. I was still thinking about you just now, but you just happened to be here."
Ling Yun was startled: "Miss me?"
Yu Qingcheng smiled, "Don't get me wrong. I was thinking about the things you did a few days ago."
"A few days ago? What happened?"
Yu Qingcheng looked at him sadly, "How noble people forget things!"
Ling Yun said: "Maybe. But there are too many things that have happened recently. I don't know which one you are talking about?"
Yu Qingcheng stared at Ling Yun, making him a little confused.
Yu Qingcheng said in his heart: Ling Yun, how could you have imagined that just half a month ago, you gave me a heavy blow at the post office not far from here, which almost killed me, but you didn't even think about it? Sleep……
The flash of swords and swords from that day appeared before her eyes again, her face darkened, she snorted coldly, got up and left.
Ling Yun felt even more confused. He didn't understand why Yu Qing was so indifferent to him.
Suddenly, Yu Qingcheng's expression changed, his body shook twice, and blood started to flow from the corner of his mouth.
That day, the fragments of the child stone on the mother stone hit her chest, and the aftermath of the skill shocked her internal organs. These days of self-regulation and drug treatment have not fundamentally solved the problem.
Ling Yun hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "What's wrong with you?"
