However, Ling Yun came to the Marquis's Mansion to take Huan Yu back to his home, and also paid a courtesy visit to Princess Chang Qing. Princess Chang Qing felt particularly friendly when she saw Ling Yun, and tried her best to persuade him and Huan Yu to stay in the mansion tonight.
Princess Chang Qing was very enthusiastic. It would be a bit too ignorant to refute her face. Ling Yun finally nodded.
Princess Chang Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ling Yun had agreed to stay. She was very happy.
Everyone chatted for a while, and it was already very late.
Ling Yun then proposed to have a rest separately; Princess Chang Qing was also tired, so everyone walked out together.
As soon as I left the living room, I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the inner courtyard of the deep house behind me.
Everyone was feeling strange. Several servants came in panic from the backyard, with panic on their faces. They stammered: "Princess, it's not good! The young lady was robbed by a masked man in black..." gone!"
Princess Chang Qing couldn't help but turned pale in shock: "What?..." When she heard the sudden change, she panicked for a moment and stayed there at a loss.
Ling Yun had been an official in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment for many years. He was well-informed and his mind worked very quickly. When he heard this, he turned his sharp eyes and asked urgently: "Where is the thief looking?"
One of them pointed with his hand: "Over there!"
Without saying a word, Ling Yun followed the direction pointed by the servant and chased after him. His body was as fast as lightning and as fast as a civet cat, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Looking at Ling Yun's elegant and light body, Princess Chang Qing couldn't help but sigh and marveled repeatedly; Huan Yu smiled with a curved eyebrow, quite proud of the honor of a husband and his wife.
But it was said that the masked man in black kidnapped Ding Mengxuan. His feet were flying, and he was about to leave the courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion. Suddenly, he saw a white figure in front of him, and one person performed a chic "Kite Turn", and several The somersault was blocked in front of him.
The masked man in black looked back, his expression changed, and he blurted out: "Why... is it you?"
Ling Yun saw that the figure and manner of this masked man in black was very familiar. He couldn't help raising his sword eyebrows and shouted sternly: "Who are you? How dare you kidnap the young lady of the Marquis' Mansion!"
The man stopped answering and held the unconscious Ding Mengxuan with one hand. With the other hand, he drew his sword and struck directly at Ling Yun's throat with the "Meeting Star Catches the Moon" move.
Ling Yun raised his hand and raised his sword, flying flowers and jade, and a starlight flashed in front of his eyes. The man in black only shook his body and stepped back in panic. He barely dodged Ling Yun's fierce sword power; even so, he also His face turned pale with horror.
He regained his panic and hurriedly swung his sword around; the two of them fought fiercely again.
At first, Ling Yun didn't pay much attention to the visitor, thinking it was just an ordinary thieves coming to cause trouble. After a lot of fighting, he realized that his original view needed to be corrected.
This man has superb swordsmanship and profound attainments, and his martial arts skills cannot be underestimated. Moreover, his body shape, manners, and swordsmanship moves are very familiar. The longer the two of them entangled and hovered, the more confident Ling Yun became.
At this time, the servants and guards of Houye Mansion had already arrived with weapons in hand. This situation was even more unfavorable for the masked man in black, not to mention that he was holding someone hostage under his arm. Under Ling Yun's superb and exquisite sword power, his palms were sweating, he was panting, and he was invincible.
For a person with strong martial arts skills, it is not a big deal to carry a lot of people, but the current situation is not: compared with Ling Yun, his martial arts skills are much inferior to Ling Yun; not to mention that now there is one more person dragging him down.
Just like adding an extra weight to an already unbalanced balance, it is already seriously tilted.
At this moment, he was already in a panic; especially when the two men's swords were whirling and their bodies were wrong, Ling Yun said coldly in his ear: "Martial Master Li, you are fine!"
His heart trembled, and he couldn't help but lose consciousness. The sword in his hand stopped for a moment; with a "crack", the opponent's long sword as sharp as snow had pierced deeply into his shoulder!
He screamed "Ah", and as soon as his hand was loosened, Ding Mengxuan, who was held in his shoulder, fell to the ground in a free fall!
Seeing this, Ling Yun hurriedly said "White Dew across the River", rushed forward, and stretched out his arms to hug Ding Mengxuan's plummeting body.
It's just that the distance between the two of them was a bit far. Although his movements were fast, they were still one step behind the speed of her rapidly falling body; so Ding Mengxuan's delicate body fell heavily to the ground!
Although the acupuncture points were restrained, the severe pain caused by falling to the ground still made her subconsciously scream. The sound was miserable and painful.
Ling Yun looked at Ding Mengxuan who fell to the ground, and then looked blankly at his empty hands, feeling a little lost for a moment.
In this flash of lightning, the beautiful masked man in black with a "crane rising into the sky" had already escaped his agile and dexterous figure into the vast darkness, like a wisp of light smoke, floating in the sky. Misty, like a ghostly shadow
He truly lives up to his nickname of "the shadow that follows a ghost"! Ling Yun thought to himself.
Ling Yun turned back frustrated. At this time, Princess Changqing and Princess Huanyu also hurried over.
Upon seeing this, Princess Chang Qing hurriedly arranged for the maid to help Ding Mengxuan back to her embroidery room; Huan Yu also followed Princess Chang Qing to Ding Mengxuan's room.
When they saw Ding Mengxuan just lying stiffly on the bed, his eyes closed and unconscious, they couldn't help but look at each other, feeling a little at a loss for the moment.
After all, Huan Yu knew some martial arts. At this moment, she turned her smart eyes and suddenly realized: Has Ding Mengxuan been hit on an acupuncture point?
As soon as she told her aunt about her thoughts, Princess Chang Qing couldn't help but frown and said, "Oh?... Then go outside immediately and call Ling Yun in and let him take a look."
Huan Yu's eyes darkened and she said, "Isn't this inappropriate? Men and women cannot be intimate..."
Princess Chang Qing sighed softly and said: "The urgent matter is to follow the authority. At this point, it is still more important to save people first, and we don't care about so many red tapes!"
Huanyu lowered her eyelids feebly, a trace of unknown emotion flashed in her eyes; she hesitated slightly, then reluctantly agreed and went out.
Everyone knows that there are differences between men and women; so as a young man, it is naturally inconvenient for him to enter the boudoir of the female family members of the Hou Mansion privately, especially for someone with status and status like Ling Yun.
So at this moment, he had been anxiously waiting for the news inside in the living room outside, until Huan Yu reluctantly came out and asked him to come in.
Ling Yun suddenly heard Huan Yu calling him in, and his heart sank. An unknown premonition came to his mind unconsciously.
But he didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and followed Huan Yu quickly to Ding Mengxuan's embroidery room.
After learning the whole story, Ling Yun didn't say much. He just moved his fingers quickly and lightly on Ding Mengxuan's Chizhong, Huantiao and other acupuncture points.
His movements were as smooth as flowing water, free and neat, causing Princess Chang Qing on the side to sigh in appreciation with a hint of nymphomaniacs; while Huan Yu raised the corner of her mouth and snorted disapprovingly, rather sourly. Jealousy.
Huanyu's little daughter's jealous and sour behavior was naturally not concealed from the sharp eyes of the quick-thinking Ling Yun, but he was too lazy to care about it and just pretended not to notice it and ignored it.
At this time, I heard Ding Mengxuan let out a soft cry, and faintly woke up.
She slowly opened her blurred and tired eyes, her dull gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and then closed her eyes again.
Princess Chang Qing glanced at her with a cold gaze, full of contempt, "Who is holding you hostage?"
"do you know him?"
"Do you know why he wanted to kidnap you?"
"Did he say anything to you?"
Ding Mengxuan's eyes were empty and lifeless, as if his soul had been hollowed out. He just stared blankly, turning a deaf ear to Princess Chang Qing's questions.
Princess Chang Qing was a little annoyed. She was already extremely disgusted with Ding Mengxuan's immoral behavior, but now she saw her attitude. She said coldly: "You didn't say so? In fact, your silence has already told me." Who is the person who kidnapped you?"
Ding Mengxuan's face was pale, and there was a bit of surprise in his dull eyes.
Princess Chang Qing's eyebrows flashed, her eyes filled with coldness, "That person is your adulterer!"
Ding Mengxuan's face was pale, and her eyes were full of pain. She kept shouting: "No! No!..."
Princess Chang Qing said: "Then tell me, who is that person?"
Ding Mengxuan's delicate body was like a messy dead leaf in the wind, trembling; her eyes were full of tears, and her helpless eyes revealed infinite desolation and sadness. She looked so pitiful and heartbreaking.
Ling Yun saw him at the side, and his originally calm heart twitched unconsciously, and he couldn't tell what it was like. Because once upon a time, he had some ambiguous and ignorant feelings for Ding Mengxuan.
From the first moment he saw her, he couldn't help but fall in love with her; later, he privately asked her for help due to official duties. She knew her justice well and bravely broke through her father's obstruction to give a true testimony. However, she killed her personal maid Xiang Luo because of this.
She thought he had taken advantage of her; she called him despicable and shameless, hated him extremely, and had a deep misunderstanding. He was also suffering from this, hesitant, and regretted that he never had the chance to explain to her. This regret continues to this day...
Ding Mengxuan lowered his eyelids feebly at this time and said weakly: "I don't know either. He covered his face at the time, and before I could say anything, he tapped my acupuncture points."
Princess Chang Qing said coldly: "Who are you bluffing? Since he kidnapped you, there must be a reason for it!"
Ding Mengxuan's sad eyes were full of helplessness, and he said sadly: "Mother, I really don't know anything..."
Princess Chang Qing said expressionlessly: "Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you anymore. I guess you are also a sensible person. You know exactly what to do!"
Princess Chang Qing's words seemed calm and indifferent, but in fact they contained fierce murderous intent. Every word pierced Ding Mengxuan's scarred and bleeding heart, which was a hundred times more painful than a sharp knife cutting into her heart inch by inch. .
Who can understand Ding Mengxuan's mood at this time? Her face was ashen and her expression was extremely ugly.
Princess Chang Qing was impatient to talk to her anymore. She took a breath, turned around, and just said to Ling Yun and Huan Yu beside her: "Zhichao, Huan Yu, let's go."
When everyone walked to the door, Ding Mengxuan suddenly called out: "Wait a minute."
Everyone stopped and thought: Could it be that Ding Mengxuan suddenly changed his mind and wanted to tell the truth?
Ding Mengxuan raised his head feebly and slowly turned his gloomy eyes to Ling Yun, who was walking at the back.
There was no emotion on her face, she just said dullly: "Ling Yun, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
