Prince Jinling and his men walked away angrily, and the cold cell door was closed in front of Ling Yun.
The light in front of him dimmed again. Ling Yun leaned tiredly against the cold wall, thinking about what had happened in the past few days, feeling confused and confused.
In his wild thoughts, all consciousness was blurred.
Vaguely, someone seemed to be sobbing quietly beside him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that the person was Huan Yu!
Just listen to Huanyu sobbing and saying: "Brother Ling, are you okay? It's all my fault that you suffered like this..."
Ling Yun said: "It's okay, as long as you are safe and sound. Where have you been these days? Let me find it easily."
Huan Yu said: "I..." She suddenly disappeared; she seemed to be imprisoned in a dark room, with disheveled hair and blood all over her body. She begged him for help: "Brother Ling, help me!..."
Ling Yun was very close to her and wanted to step forward, but his body refused to obey him. He suddenly sat up in anxiety.
When he woke up from his dream, he broke into a cold sweat. When he opened his eyes, he saw the surroundings were gloomy, and he didn't know what time it was. He felt cold all over, and a hint of chill and loneliness hit his heart.
At this moment, he just hopes to find the princess as soon as possible so that he can clear his unfair grievance.
The people looking for the princess have been out for several days, but there is still no news about the princess.
People from the Prince's Palace of Jinling, people from the Shangshu Palace of the Ministry of Punishment, including the Royal Forest Army led by Li Zhishan, the commander of the imperial guards... several groups of people mobilized troops, but in vain.
In the hall of Jinling Palace, Lu Wenzheng, He Yuting, Ding Jinzhi and other important officials in the court were all there. Everyone's face was as dark as water, their eyebrows were furrowed, and their hearts were heavy.
While they were discussing the countermeasures for this matter, Prince Jinling came in dejectedly.
Everyone focused their attention on him. Lu Wenzheng asked: "Your Majesty, how is it?"
The prince of Jinling raised his hands to Lu Wenzheng and said: "Master Lu, this subordinate of yours is really tough-talking and strong-willed. He would rather die than say anything. I really admire him so much!"
Lu Wenzheng's heart sank, and he said resolutely: "Why did the prince say this? I dare to use my head to guarantee to the prince that the princess was definitely not abducted by Ling Yun. There should be another traitor deliberately framed him!"
Ding Jinzhi said: "What kind of traitor, how to frame him? Mr. Lu has no proof and no evidence, just making assumptions out of thin air, it seems to be a cover-up!"
With that said, he turned to the Prince of Jinling and said: "My lord, in the eyes of the lower officials, you don't have to be kind to Ling Yun; if he continues to deny it, he will be tortured to extract a confession. Don't be afraid of his iron mouth and stubborn teeth, and he will not tell the truth! "
After He Yuting heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "My dear brother, what you said is wrong! I think that Ling Yun is definitely not comparable to ordinary people; and you and I are important ministers of the country. If we fall into the name of being beaten into submission and live up to the holy will, I'm afraid It will make everyone in the world laugh!"
Ding Jinzhi didn't expect that He Yuting would actually speak to Ling Yun in this situation, and he felt very unhappy.
But he didn't know that since Ling Yun rescued He Yuting's second son He Chengqi last time and sent him back to the mansion, He Yuting had developed an indescribable and inexplicable affection for Ling Yun.
Moreover, in the past few nights, for some reason, he dreamed of Ling Yun every night; Ling Yun's erratic shadow and those twinkling eyes were always lingering in front of his eyes, and even he felt that Strange...
Yuan Ping and Dong Wu, the captains of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice, led a sentry guard around the suburbs for a day. Seeing the sunset, everyone's hope was extinguished little by little as night fell.
well! Another day of work in vain!
Yuan Ping suddenly became angry and ordered several attendants: "Go and get some dry food. After everyone has eaten, we can continue searching!"
After hearing this, Dong Wu could no longer suppress his anger and said coldly: "I'm so tired that I can't straighten up. Are you still looking for me? I think it's better for everyone to go back and rest for the night. It won't be too late to look for you tomorrow." !”
Yuan Ping said: "Brother Ling is in prison now and suffering a lot. If we can find the princess earlier, we can clear up his injustice earlier and save him from this prison!"
Dong Wu was full of resentment and said: "That's what he brought upon himself, but he made us suffer along with him!"
Yuan Ping said angrily: "Brother Ling is as close to you and me as brothers on weekdays, how can you say such a thing now!"
Dong Wu said in a teasing tone: "Yes, he is as close to you as a brother! Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry at you because of his senior brother, and treat your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs!"
"You!..." Yuan Ping raised his thick eyebrows in anger. When he was about to explode, the guards on both sides stepped forward to stop him.
He gently calmed down his rapid breathing and suppressed the anger in his heart, but a ray of bitterness surged into his heart.
The misunderstanding between Ling Yun and him has not been resolved yet. If the princess cannot be found and Ling Yun encounters something unexpected, he may never have the chance to eliminate this gap...
If this is really the case, how regrettable should it make him?
At this time, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps in front of him; when he got closer, he heard the sound of a woman panting.
Everyone rushed forward to greet him. The woman just ran with disheveled hair and was out of breath. Before she could get closer, she had already fallen to the ground, panting and wanting to cry but couldn't.
Dong Wu took a closer look and couldn't help shouting: "Lanzhu!"
Lanzhu panted for a long time before she regained her breath. She cried loudly and said intermittently: "Brother Wu, I can see you. Just now...just now you scared me to death!"
Yuan Ping felt quite dissatisfied when he heard that Lan Zhu called "Brother Wu" so affectionately.
Lanzhu glanced at Yuan Ping and said, "Oh, it turns out Captain Yuan is here too, that's great! Just now, just now, I saw Linglong..."
"Linglong?..." Yuan Ping couldn't help but feel shaken after hearing this, and his voice trembled with excitement: "Which Linglong?"
Lanzhu said: "Of course she is the unruly and willful girl who used to be with Commander Ling and served Mrs. Ruan!"
Yuan Ping's face darkened and he said, "Girl, don't talk nonsense!"
Lanzhu was startled and said, "What's wrong?"
Only then did Yuan Ping remember that Lanzhu had taken some leave to go home these days, and she didn't know many things that happened in the house. But the matter was urgent at the moment, and he didn't have time to explain too much. He just asked: "Where did you see Linglong?"
Lanzhu said: "It's about five miles ahead at Xiaoshi'ao. Mrs. Lu originally allowed me ten days' leave, and I will return home tomorrow; so I went back this afternoon, not wanting to be on the road..."
Yuan Ping was impatient to listen to her long-winded words, so he interrupted her and said, "You only want to tell me how you met Linglong?"
Lanzhu said: "Yes! When I came back, it was already late. As soon as I walked to Xiaoshi Col, I suddenly heard the cry of a woman, so I hid behind the bushes and watched secretly. I saw two people in green clothes and masked faces. Someone took a woman into a hay shed where she was looking at peaches, and that woman was Linglong..."
Yuan Ping felt his heart beating wildly and asked urgently: "Tell me, what happened next?"
Lanzhu said: "I was so frightened that it took me a long time to come back to my senses. I ran back desperately, and I happened to meet you!"
Yuan Ping was overjoyed and said: "It's really hard to find a place even after wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here. Lanzhu, take us to find the princess right away... No, it's Linglong!"
Yuan Ping and Dong Wu led all the guards to Xiaoshi'ao in a hurry.
Lanzhu probably ran too fast and sprained his foot. At this time, he was being carried forward by a guard.
At this time, she suddenly changed her eyes, pointed in front of her and said, "Oh, that's the thatched hut!"
Yuan Ping nodded and ordered ten guards to act as vanguards to explore the route first.
The ten people held their breath and concentrated their attention, sneaking up on them and advancing towards the hut step by step. Suddenly there was a "hula", and the ground in front of them shook and collapsed. Before everyone could react, they all fell into the pit.
Yuan Ping couldn't help being shocked. I heard thunder and thunder behind me, and locusts flying like raindrops; the guards behind me screamed and fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
Yuan Ping knew that he had been ambushed by the enemy. He couldn't help but raise his thick eyebrows and widened his eyes. He quickly pulled out his sword and loudly ordered the guards on the left and right to stay calm and fight back with all their strength.
Lanzhu laughed sinisterly, splitting Huashan with one move, and his jade palm fell down. The poor guard who was carrying her groaned and fell to the ground dead without knowing why.
Lan Zhu's delicate body flew up, and with a wave of her hand, she pulled out the soft sword from her waist. The angry sword bloomed wildly, and she heard screams again and again. Several guards were caught off guard and fell to the ground after being struck by the sword.
Yuan Ping cursed angrily: "Damn you bitch!" Looking around, he saw that his guards were surrounded by a group of people in blue.
At that time, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and he couldn't see the face of the enemy clearly; he had no time to think about it anymore, and now he had no choice but to fight to the death!
The people in Tsing Yi had a large number of people, and all of them had strong martial arts skills; but Yuan Ping was suddenly ambushed, and by surprise, most of them were killed or injured.
The remaining people were even more invincible; and cold arrows and hidden weapons flew in from time to time, leaving people in a hurry and overwhelmed.
During the melee, Yuan Ping had also been hit by an arrow in his back.
The person he was fighting against was a burly man. His moves were fierce and his sword skills were ruthless. He had a tiger-headed sword and danced like a tiger.
Due to Yuan Ping's injury, his skill was greatly reduced, and the moves in his hands gradually slowed down. Later, he was feeling weak and out of breath, and he was somewhat invincible.
Yuan Ping saw that there were fewer and fewer guards around him, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Let’s talk about Dong Wu. He would never have dreamed that Lanzhu would be colluding with the enemy. He couldn't help but hate him in his heart. The long sword in his hand attacked the opponent like a violent storm, and he couldn't help but slash the opponent with one sword.
But Lanzhu calmly resisted, and Shi Shiran smiled and said, "Brother Wu, why are you so angry?"
Dong Wu cursed angrily: "Shameless bitch, you still have the nerve to say that!" The angry sword pulled out thousands of wild flowers, and with the power of thunder and thunder, they went towards Lanzhu in three directions. Lanzhu was in a hurry and retreated continuously.
The little beggar You Qi saw that Lan Zhu couldn't resist, so he drew his sword and attacked Dong Wu from behind.
Under the attack of the two masters, Dong Wu's palms were already sweating, he was panting, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
He knew that if the fight continued like this, the longer it dragged on, the more detrimental it would be to his side's situation. I thought to myself: A good man never suffers immediate losses. The current strategy is still the Thirty-Six Strategies, and the best strategy is to take action. So he swung his sword in a feint, sold his flaw, and flew away.
Suddenly he heard a long laugh, and he felt his shoulders go numb suddenly, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground; he staggered two steps and fell to the ground.
But two rouge buttons were locked on his body, and blood immediately surged out like a fountain.
The Tsing Yi disciples on both sides swarmed up and captured him.
The one who had just had her hair done was Yu Qingcheng, who was standing on the outside watching the battle; standing side by side with her was a graceful, masked Taoist nun in flowing white clothes.
Not far behind them, stood a middle-aged man in gray clothes. His expression was somewhat sinister and dull; his elusive eyes were full of energy, and the cold light they revealed made people feel cold, desolate, and shudder.
Yuan Ping saw that Dong Wu had also fallen into the hands of his enemies, and knew that he could not survive alone. He thought that the matter had come to this, and he had to try to leave first, and then make a good plan!
So with a feint, a crane shot into the sky and shot several feet away.
Suddenly, he heard a scolding voice from behind, and the Taoist nun in white raised her slender hand. Immediately, her white hair was like a rainbow, and silk threads flew out, tightly wrapping Yuan Ping's whole body, making him unable to move.
The men in green clothes on both sides rushed forward, raising their swords to hold him back.
Yuan Ping was pushed and pushed in front of Yu Qingcheng and the Taoist nun in white.
Yuan Ping's eyes moved from the masked face of the Taoist nun in white to Yu Qingcheng's face, and he spat bitterly: "So you are all organized by Tianxiao?"
The Taoist nun in white nodded and said, "That's right! Let me introduce you first. This is our training leader."
Yuan Ping couldn't help being shocked. He looked Yu Qingcheng up and down, gritted his teeth and said: "So you...are you the female devil Lian Nanchun organized by Tianxiao?"
