Ling Yun went to Jinling Palace to invite Princess Huanyu back to the palace, but was met with difficulties by the wayward princess; he couldn't help but feel cold and miserable, smiled bitterly and said: "Princess, in your mind, you have always been the one." Jun, I am a minister; the relationship between you and me will always come last, right?
Looking at Ling Yun's sad eyes, Huan Yu's heart suddenly trembled, and she was speechless for a moment.
She calmed down her chaotic thoughts and said with a bit of a little daughter's rogue tone: "I won't argue with you about this. Anyway, if you don't kowtow to me and apologize, then you don't want me to go back with you!"
Ling Yun's eyes became empty and desperate. He took a deep breath, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I understand..."
He silently walked up to Prince Jinling, gave him a deep salute, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Ling Yun has disturbed you a lot just now, so please forgive me for being rude. There are some things to do in Ling Yun's house, so I'll take my leave first. "
After saying that, he slowly raised his head, leaving Prince Jinling with a helpless smile; what was revealed in that smile was an unprecedented sense of emptiness and hopelessness.
Then he turned around with difficulty and walked out without looking back.
Seeing Ling Yun walking further and further away, until his cold and lonely figure completely disappeared from sight, Huan Yu realized that what he had just done was a bit too much.
At this time, she was ashamed and annoyed. She was so angry that she stamped her feet and beat her chest. She said softly to Prince Jinling: "Dad, he...he actually treats me like this. I don't want to obey him. I don't want to obey him!"
Prince Jinling sighed softly and said: "Huanyu, this is your fault. Since I have just admitted my mistake and apologized to you, you should just come down the steps and show mercy to others!" But you shouldn't make such excessive demands and still be so stubborn and so stubborn!
"Besides, don't you know what kind of person Ling Yun is? His character is aloof, arrogant and reserved, and he has a strong sense of self-esteem - but you humiliate him in front of so many people, which is too disrespectful to him. Got it!"
Huan Yu curled her lips disapprovingly and said, "I deserve it. Who told him to treat me like that in the first place? It makes people angry to see how self-righteous he is all day long. I just want to destroy his majesty and give him trouble." The spirit!"
The prince of Jinling looked at his daughter speechlessly and said: "Ling Yun's temperament is a bit proud and stubborn. You can try to curb his vigor; but Huan Yu, do everything within your ability and do it in moderation. Sometimes you do too much." If you go too far, it will be counterproductive!"
Huan Yu raised the corners of her lips and said unconvinced, "Why did I go too far?"
Prince Jinling frowned and sighed: "The words you said after you, 'The king is the minister's guide', have deeply hurt his heart..."
Huanyu couldn't help but be stunned. Thinking of the words he had said in a fit of emotion just now, and the sad and sad look in Ling Yunlin's eyes when he left, Huan Yu's heart twitched unconsciously.
Prince Jinling also sighed helplessly and walked away.
Princess Huanyu stood there, stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but burst into tears...
Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment. Suddenly, someone came to report that a male body was found near Xiaojingting outside the city.
After Lu Wenzheng heard the news, he ordered Yang Zhen to take his guards to the scene for inspection.
Yang Zhen took the order and hurriedly led people to the scene, carefully searching for clues about the accident location.
I saw the body lying on its back in a pool of blood, with blood dripping from the back of the heart, which was probably where the fatal injury was. Upon further inspection, it was found that the chest was bruised and swollen, probably from a palm strike.
One of the guards suddenly shouted: "Hey, isn't this Li Xuan, the martial arts master of the Jinling Palace? He has excellent light skills. He claims to be 'like a shadow'. He is usually very airy and domineering. Alas! I didn't expect him to be like this today. !”
Yang Zhen glared at the guard so hard that he stuck out his tongue in fear and did not dare to say anything more.
Yang Zhen ordered people to carefully investigate some details around the body and recorded them in detail. Finally, he asked the guards to carry the body back to the house to revive him.
After Lu Wenzheng heard the report, he and Xu Zhi reviewed the body again, and then returned to the study.
Lu Wenzheng glanced at everyone's faces with his piercing eyes, and then said calmly: "Tell me what you think about this case."
Yang Zhen frowned slightly and said: "My subordinates believe that the deceased was killed by two people: he was hit by an enemy in the chest first, and in panic, another person stabbed his heart from behind; and injured him It’s nothing more than a sharp edge like a sword.”
Xu Zhizhi said: "Li Xuan is a man with first-class martial arts, especially light kung fu. He is known as 'like a shadow, a ghost shadow' and so on. His escaping skills must be extremely high. It should not be easy to kill him." .
"It seems that the person who killed him should have extremely high martial arts skills and be very familiar with him - just as Captain Yang said: There should be two people who killed him. When he panicked and wanted to escape, the two The masters cooperate with each other, attack from the front and back, block all their escape routes, and then kill them with surprising moves."
Lu Wenzheng said: "The question now is: Who are the people who killed Li Xuan? Why did they kill him? Was it a killing among themselves, a murder to silence, or was it killed by an enemy?"
Everyone lowered their heads silently and fell into deep thought.
Lu Wenzheng asked again: "Colonel Yang, did you find any other clues when you inspected the scene?"
Yang Zhendao: "Yes, these are a few sleeve arrows left at the scene."
Then he ordered the guard who was going with him to present a package. When he opened it and checked it, Lu Wenzheng looked familiar. Just as he was about to take it over for a closer look, Yang Zhen hurriedly stopped him and said, "Sir, don't move! These hidden weapons are highly poisonous - you forgot that Commander Ling last time It’s what hurts me!”
Lu Wenzheng suddenly said: "No wonder this thing looks so familiar to me. That time Commander Ling was led to the wilderness outside the city and was ambushed by the Tianxiao organization. Did the sleeve arrow that hurt him and these ones come from the same person? Hand?"
Yang Zhendao: "It should be."
Lu Wenzheng said: "Captain Yang, go get those sleeve arrows immediately and compare them with these ones."
Yang Zhen took the order and left. After a moment, he turned around and presented the original sleeve arrows. After careful comparison, everyone found that they were indeed the same.
Lu Wenzheng said: "It seems that the person who stabbed someone last time was indeed Li Xuan. Captain Yang, have you found any other clues?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "This object was also found on the deceased." He presented an object, but it was a sparkling, crystal clear silver token.
Lu Wenzheng took it and looked at it carefully, and saw that the back of the token was engraved with a soaring blue owl; the front was engraved with eight small characters in seal script, "Tianxiao Organization, unify the world"!
Xu Zhi was surprised: "Silver token? It seems that Li Xuan is indeed a member of the Tianxiao organization!"
Lu Wenzheng repeatedly examined the token that symbolized the identity of Tianxiao's disciples, with a solemn look on his face and he was silent.
Xu Zhi added: "Previously, Commander Ling had suspected that the Li brothers were spies planted by the Tianxiao organization in the Jinling Palace. However, he had no proof and no evidence at the time and could not file a case. Now we finally have evidence."
Yang Zhen raised his eyebrows and said: "Without further delay, please send someone to the Jinling Palace immediately to arrest Li Wu!"
Lu Wenzheng frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "It would be more appropriate for me to go to Jinling Prince's Mansion to arrest people in person; because the Prince of Jinling does not know the details of the Li brothers, I still need to explain it to him carefully. It will only take a while - what do you think Mr. Xu?"
Xu Zhi nodded approvingly and said: "What you said is absolutely true. And the students think that we should bring these hidden weapons and silver tokens as evidence to show to the prince; the prince of Jinling is kind, wise, and understands the righteousness, so he must come." Will support us in capturing Tian Xiao’s spies.”
Lu Wenzheng nodded and said, "What Mr. Xu said is very good. I ordered you to go down and prepare the sedan chair immediately and go to the Jinling Palace!"
Xu Zhi and Yang Zhen said something to each other before going out to make arrangements. At this time, a guard came in and reported: "Master Qi, Commander Ling outside said that he has something important to ask to see you!"
Lu Wenzheng's originally calm and peaceful expression immediately darkened, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "He still knows how to come, this is really not easy!"
It turned out that a few days ago, Ling Yun was forced to go to Jinling Palace to invite the princess to return. When he went, he was reluctant and reluctant; when he came back, he was dejected and lost.
And as soon as he returned to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice, he was even more angry. He put on a cold face and said nothing. No matter who asked him, he ignored them, just like everyone in the manor. It's like they all owe him a debt.
Later, Lu Wenzheng finally lost his temper. With the instigation of Xu Zhi, Yang Zhen and others, he called Ling Yun into the study and asked him what happened in the Jinling Palace.
Ling Yun's eyes were cold, but he just lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing Ling Yun's half-dead look, Lu Wenzheng could guess without asking that the reason for the incompatibility in inviting the princess back to the mansion this time was probably due to his awkward temperament. He couldn't help but feel angry and couldn't help it. He scolded him a few words.
Ling Yun thought about the difficulties and humiliation he had suffered when he went to the Jinling Palace, and unspeakable anger and sorrow surged into his heart again...
He slowly raised his somewhat vacant eyes and said decisively: "Sir, if you ask Ling Yun to do other things, even if it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Ling Yun will not frown; just for this one thing, You want me to go to Jinling Palace to invite the princess back - even if you kill me, Ling Yun will definitely not dare to obey!"
Lu Wenzheng was so angry that Ling Yun was trembling all over. He pointed at him with trembling hands and said: "Okay, very good! Ling Yun, now you are a dignified prince of the county, and I will never dare to restrain you again; from now on From now on, I will no longer take care of your affairs!..."
Ling Yun's body couldn't help but tremble violently, and the sadness in his eyes became more solemn. He smiled sadly and said: "In this case, Ling Yun will have to thank you for your life!..."
Lu Wenzheng was furious when he saw that Ling Yun had said such rebellious words without hesitation. Out of control, he tremblingly raised his palm and dropped it towards Ling Yun's face.
