Five years later, Ling Yun and Huan Yu met again. The two were sentimental, embarrassed, and their complicated emotions were difficult to express.
Huanyu was sitting on the stone bench of the pavilion in the field, looking melancholy at the scenery outside the pavilion. Suddenly, the maid Ying'er stumbled over and said with a cry: "Princess, young master, something serious has happened." ! The young master...he was kidnapped by a few strongmen!..."
Huan Yu suddenly heard the shocking change, her pupils trembled, and she hurriedly asked what happened.
Ying'er cried and explained the whole story intermittently.
It turned out that just now Huanyu and He Chengqi were sitting quietly in the pavilion. The young master was so naughty and restless that they couldn't stay there, so Xiangyun and the two maids Ying'er and Yan'er coaxed him to play on the nearby grass.
The three maids were playing a hide-and-seek game with the young master. Unexpectedly, a woman in white wearing a hood and a white scarf suddenly appeared, followed by two masked men in blue.
The woman in white clothes was fluttering and her body was light. Without any explanation, she hugged the young master and flew away.
By the time the three girls reacted, the woman in white had already leapt a dozen steps away like a fleeting silhouette.
Xiangyun came back to her senses and rushed forward desperately, trying desperately to snatch the young master back.
But how can the weak Xiangyun be the opponent of a ruthless and powerful woman with strong martial arts skills? The woman in white was hit with a thunderbolt and hit the back of the head with a raised palm, and she fainted immediately. Then the woman let out a long laugh and floated away like a startled dragon.
Yan'er shouted: "Young Master!..." and ran forward to chase him regardless of his own safety.
A masked man in green clothes showed a fierce look in his eyes and shouted coldly: "Seeking death!"
The long sword was unsheathed, and a cold light swept past her. However, when she saw a splash of blood in front of her eyes, poor Yan'er screamed and fell to the ground dead.
Ying'er was trembling all over, her face was earth-colored, and she was almost stunned by fright. It took her a long time to come to her senses, and she hurriedly stumbled back to report the news.
When Huan Yu heard about this, she felt that her legs were weak, her vision was dark, and her delicate body was so limp that she almost collapsed to the ground; thanks to He Chengqi beside her, he held her up.
Huanyu was trembling all over, leaning against He Chengqi and crying: "My son was kidnapped by bad guys - Cheng Qi, what do you think we should do, what should we do?"
He Chengqi was also dumbfounded and at a loss; he stayed there for a long time before he recovered, and his speech became incoherent, "Let's go back immediately and tell our parents, brother, and the others, let's think of a solution together..."
Huan Yu was so confused at this time that she had already lost her opinion, so she could only nod numbly after hearing this.
But it was said that Ling Yun and Princess Chang Qing were sitting on the grass chatting, when they heard something unexpected happened, they couldn't help but look at each other and turned pale.
If you don't care about things, caring will lead to chaos. Princess Changqing was panicked for a moment and hurriedly asked Ling Yun what to do.
Ling Yun frowned and said in deep thought: "It seems that these people are well prepared; and there must be someone behind the scenes. It is likely that some scum or gangsters are behind this."
Princess Chang Qing said: "But we have nothing to do with these gangs or anything, and we have not offended them..."
Ling Yun's eyes were dark and deep, and his eyes seemed to be filled with turbulent waves. He regained his composure in an instant, and said in a solemn tone: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. My father is famous in the court, and the tree is big and attracts the wind. Over the years, it is inevitable that someone will These lawless people have ulterior motives, hijacking God's gift with evil intentions, and using it to make unreasonable demands."
Princess Chang Qing said: "Are you saying that they kidnapped Tianci to blackmail your father, or have some other ulterior motives?"
Ling Yun nodded.
Princess Chang Qing said: "Then what should we do?"
Ling Yun said: "Since they want to blackmail my father through Tianci, I think Tianci will not be in any danger to his life for the time being, so we don't have to worry too much.
"And if my prediction is correct, they will send people to deliver letters or calligraphy books within these two days, and invite people in the mansion to negotiate with them; so please mother and Cheng Qi go back to the mansion first to meditate. Wait, if anything happens, contact me in time."
Princess Chang Qing asked: "What about you? Aren't you going back to your home with us?"
Ling Yun said: "Now the enemy is in darkness and we are in the dark. If I follow you back home, wouldn't I be completely under the control of the enemy? Why don't I take advantage of these few days to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Tianci, so that we can act according to the opportunity and rescue them as soon as possible? God-given.”
Princess Chang Qing glanced at He Chengqi and Princess Huanyu who were dumbfounded beside her, nodded and said: "Lin'er, everything depends on you, remember to be careful!"
Ling Yun smiled slightly and said, "Mother, are you okay with me doing this?" He raised his hand and whistled, and a beautiful white dove landed on his palm.
Ling Yun handed the white dove to Princess Changqing and said, "If anything happens, let's contact her through it."
Princess Chang Qing nodded repeatedly.
Ling Yun added: "By the way, there is one more thing. There is a saying that 'it is essential to be on guard against others.' The matters we are discussing today are only known to a few of us. We must not leak it to others, including the most considerate maid. Servant."
He Chengqi said: "Brother, do you suspect that there is a spy in the house?"
Ling Yun was noncommittal and just said: "In short, if one more person knows, there will be more danger. Believe me, it's true."
Everyone nodded silently. Ling Yun cupped his hands at them, said "Excuse me", and turned around to leave.
Huan Yu had lost all her feelings and emotions at this time, her body was as stiff as a dead tree, and the look in her eyes was almost numb, like a beautiful doll whose body had been hollowed out, empty.
At this moment, she silently looked at Ling Yun's long and strong back as he retreated. A faint glint of light flashed through her originally empty eyes. Her mouth opened, but she hesitated to speak...
When He Yuting came back from the court, he was shocked when he heard the sudden change.
Seeing Princess Chang Qing frowning, He Chengqi being dejected, and Princess Huanyu crying until she was full of tears, she swallowed the words of complaint on her lips and sighed softly: "It's useless to be anxious now, we'd better go first Let’s discuss a countermeasure!”
Everyone referred to Ling Yun's insights and anxiously waited for the news.
Sure enough, at noon the next day, the housekeeper He Luwei hurried in with a calligraphy book and reported: "Master Marquis, princess, just now a masked man in green clothes handed this thing to a guard guarding the door, and then left in a hurry. The old man I don’t dare to make my own decision, so I quickly brought it over and asked the Marquis and the Princess to decide.”
He Yuting's eyes lit up, he grabbed the calligraphy book, and couldn't wait to open it and browsed it hastily; Princess Chang Qing, Huan Yu, and He Chengqi also nervously came forward to watch. But see above:
"The Marquis personally declares:
Your grandson is now at my place, unharmed. Don't worry, Lord Marquis. I would like to ask the Marquis to meet at the Zuixianju Tavern, ten miles outside the city, tomorrow morning to discuss important matters. Cut.
year month day"
There is no signature below. In the lower right corner, a soaring cyan owl is painted, which is lifelike.
He Chengqi lost his voice and said: "Tianxiao Organization?..."
He Yuting glared at him fiercely, and He Chengqi hurriedly kept silent.
Princess Chang Qing said bitterly: "It is indeed these damn thieves who are causing trouble! Prince Consort, what should we do now?"
He Yuting frowned slightly and said, "Besides going to the appointment, is there any other choice?"
Princess Chang Qing said: "Are you going in person?..."
He Yuting hesitated and nodded.
Princess Chang Qing said: "Then... wouldn't it be too dangerous? How about taking a few more people with us."
He Chengqi hurriedly said: "Dad, let me go with you!"
He Yuting remained silent.
He Luwei said: "Why don't you, Lord Marquis, or this old slave accompany you?"
He Yuting pondered for a moment, then turned to He Luwei and said, "How about this: Butler, go and select a few more capable guards and come with me tomorrow."
He Luwei said repeatedly: "Yes, Lord Marquis." He turned around and went down to make arrangements.
He Chengqi said unhappily: "Dad, why don't you let me go? I am your biological son, and the one we want to save is my own child!"
He Yuting looked at him and sighed, but did not answer. He just said: "It's getting late. Let's go back and rest first."
He said and walked out the door.
He Chengqi stared blankly at his father's retreating back, tears falling unconsciously, "Why...am I really so useless in your mind?"
Huan Yu snorted coldly and turned around.
Princess Chang Qing walked up to him and said softly: "Qi'er, you misunderstood. In fact, your father loves you too much. He doesn't want anything to happen to you! Now that the gift falls into the hands of Tian Xiao, his life or death is uncertain. Your father's departure is also unpredictable. If you go too, what if...who do you want Huanyu and I to rely on?" As he spoke, his eyes became red.
He Chengqi said numbly: "But there is my eldest brother, and he is also involved in this matter. Isn't he from our Lord Hou's house? Aren't you afraid that something will happen to him too?"
Princess Chang Qing felt miserable when a painful spot was touched, sighed softly, covered her face and left.
Princess Changqing returned to her room and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of the beautiful white dove in front of the window, and immediately remembered something, so she asked the girl Yancui to get a pen and paper, write a letter, tie it to the dove's leg, and then put the pigeon full of expectations on it. The white angel is released.
Ling Yun was sitting on a huge rock outside the city waiting for someone when he received the letter from Princess Chang Qing. The wind rustled, fluttering his clothes, and the lapels danced, making him feel extremely free and comfortable.
In the past two days, he had conducted secret investigations and finally found some clues and had some general outlines in his mind. Now he has made an appointment with a friend to help him complete this matter.
At this time, he received a letter from Princess Chang Qing. He opened the book and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile. The initiator of this matter was indeed someone from the Tianxiao organization.
There were footsteps behind me. Looking back, I saw Du Zhenghai walking over in black clothes with an indifferent expression.
His originally expressionless face had a look as cold as ice, but when the wind blew it, a look of arrogance that could not be concealed emerged.
Ling Yun stood up and walked forward with a smile.
As time goes by, the grudges and hatreds of the past have been wiped out. What remains in the hearts of the two people now is more friendship, trust and sharing life and death.
Du Zhenghai asked: "What do you want from me?"
Ling Yun's clear eyes turned and said: "Brother Du, please help me find someone."
Du Zhenghai's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes full of inquiry, "Oh? Who is it?..."
