Ling Yun and Du Zhenghai broke into the prison at night in an attempt to rescue Mr. Lu, but ultimately failed.
The two of them looked at each other with heavy hearts. Du Zhenghai asked Ling Yun what his next plan was.
Ling Yun pondered for a moment, "I - want to go back to the house to see..."
"Go back to the house and take a look?" Du Zhenghai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses. His eyes instantly became distant, and a teasing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I almost forgot, the former Commander Ling now has the status of the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion!"
"Brother Du." Ling Yun looked at him helplessly.
Du Zhenghai sighed and said, "Actually, it's understandable that you want to go back and take a look. After all, your parents and relatives are all there. After all, it's also your home!"
Ling Yun looked at him with emotion and said: "Thank you, Brother Du, for understanding me. Since the last time I went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice to say goodbye to Mr. Lu, and then those things happened, I have not been able to go back to the mansion to see, nor can I Do you know what happened to them? And I think they must be worried about me, so..."
Du Zhenghai frowned incomprehensibly and said meaningfully: "Why do you need to explain so much to me? It is only natural that you want to go back to see your parents. Who am I to stop you? But Ling Brother, I still want to remind you, no matter where you go, don’t forget the saying ‘Be on guard against others’.”
Ling Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "I... don't understand what Brother Du means."
Ling Yun, are you really confused, or are you just pretending to be confused? How come a person who is usually quite smart becomes so slow when it comes to these things? Is it true that the saying goes: "The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear"?
While complaining in his heart, Du Zhenghai rolled his eyes at him and lazily folded his arms in front of his chest.
Ling Yun frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Could Brother Du be referring to...my father?..."
Du Zhenghai looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly, as if he was trying his best to endure something. The corners of his mouth drooped uncontrollably, and he said coldly: "I didn't say that. I just remind you, don't trust anyone easily."
As he spoke, he turned away and ignored him.
Looking at his cold expression, Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a touch of unnoticeable worry between his frowning eyebrows.
Although he and Du Zhenghai are close friends of life and death, there is still a gap between them that can never be eliminated, and that is his father He Yuting!
He Yuting once caused Du Zhenghai's family to be separated and destroyed. Even though many years have passed since those things happened, and no matter how magnanimous Du Zhenghai is and regardless of past grudges, the threshold between them can never be crossed!
With so many thoughts on his mind, Ling Yun became confused and began to have no clue; in the end, he just sighed softly and lowered his head...
The last ray of afterglow has dissipated, the dusk is getting darker, and the autumn wind is bleak.
The azure sky gradually deepened, as if a ball of thick whale-blue ink had been splashed on it. It was oppressive, suffocating, and made people breathless.
Ding Mansion, in the living room.
Taoist priest Bai Yu frowned and his face was as dark as water; Li Ruiyun was walking around the living room with his hands behind his back, his expression was sinister, his eyes were lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Looking at Li Ruiyun's secretive expression, Ding Jinzhi's heart clenched tightly, and the look of fear on his face became more intense.
A few days ago, the assassination attempt on Ling Yun in the Sky Prison failed, and Li Ruiyun was already very angry. Unexpectedly, it started to get worse. At this time, there was news that someone broke into the Sky Prison last night to visit Lu Wenzheng. , how could Li Ruiyun not be furious?
He scolded Ding Jinzhi face to face, blaming him for his incompetence in doing things and leaving behind such a big disaster.
"It's really unreasonable. You still have the nerve to say that the Heavenly Prison is a heavily guarded and heavily guarded place? But people still can't come and go freely! Are the guards and jailers in the Heavenly Prison all deaf - just decorations? "
What else could Ding Jinzhi say? He could only hang his head sadly, accepting his fate and bearing the almost out-of-control thunderous fury of Li Ruiyun without saying a word...
Finally, Taoist Priest Bai Yu narrowed his eyes coldly, breaking the suffocating dullness in front of him.
"Could it be that brat Ling Yun who visited Lu Wenzheng last night?"
When Ding Jin saw that someone finally spoke, he quickly echoed: "What the Taoist said is absolutely true, and the subordinates also think that it is nine out of ten that it is him!"
Bai Yu frowned slightly and said quietly: "What do you think Ling Yun will say when he visits Lu Wenzheng?"
Ding Jinzhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "Needless to say, under the current circumstances, what they are most concerned about is of course how to find out the cause of the prince's death and avenge Lu Wenzheng's grievances."
Bai Yu's deep eyes flashed, "Master Ding is absolutely right. But in addition, there should be another issue that all of us are concerned about."
Ding Jinzhi's eyes flashed and he blurted out: "The whereabouts of the dragon, phoenix and jade talisman!"
"Heroes see the same thing." Bai Yu nodded approvingly and said solemnly: "That old man Lu Wenzheng is smelly and tough. No matter how he is tortured and interrogated, he will not reveal the whereabouts of the dragon, phoenix and jade talisman.
"So if you want to get the whereabouts of the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Talismans, you need to find another way. And now, the only person Lu Wenzheng can place his hope on is probably Ling Yun. He should tell him the hiding place of the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Talismans, so-"
Ding Jinzhi took over the conversation at the right time and said: "So we still have to find a breakthrough from Ling Yun."
At this time, Li Ruiyun stopped, with two cold gleams in his eyes, and said solemnly: "That's right. And the one who is most likely to ruin our affairs now is Ling Yun! As long as he can be caught, many problems can be solved. "
Ding Jinzhi said bitterly: "It's just that this Ling Yun is too cunning. It's probably not easy to catch him."
Li Ruiyun raised his lips in disapproval and sneered: "No matter how powerful Ling Yun is, he still has a fatal weakness."
"Oh?..." A hint of cunning flashed in Ding Jinzhi's eyes, "Master Li, please make it clear."
Li Ruiyun's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said word by word: "The Marquis's Mansion is his Achilles' heel——"
The night is deep and the moon is like a hook.
In the Jin Pavilion in the Marquis's residence, Princess Changqing sat alone in front of the window, her eyebrows furrowed and deep in thought, sighing from time to time.
Princess Chang Qing came back from the palace in despair that day, and told He Yuting the whole story while crying.
After He Yuting heard about Ling Yun's murder and escape from prison, he couldn't help but become livid with anger. He slumped down on a chair and murmured: "This is what he brought upon himself. Originally, he was suspected of murdering the prince, which was an unforgivable crime; now he actually colluded with the thieves again." , arson in the sky prison, murder and escape from prison!
"Hmph, this brat is so lawless in what he does. It really pisses me off! If he were in front of me now, I would just want to beat him to death! It's all your fault. If you hadn't always doted on him and indulged him so much, He could do whatever he wanted, and things like today wouldn't happen!..."
Princess Chang Qing's color changed instantly, and her eyebrows knitted together. She wiped her tears and glared at him angrily: "He Yuting, what are you talking about? Why is my Lin'er so lawless? Why do I allow him to do whatever he wants? Others don't understand Zhichao's character. How can you do this? Doesn’t the father still know what kind of person his son is?
"Although something like this happened, I believe there must be something hidden in it; I also believe that Zhichao is not a reckless person. There must be a reason for it, or someone is framing him!"
He Yuting rolled his eyes at her speechlessly, and said helplessly: "Why are you still protecting him like this after all this? Alas! Chang Qing, you are so stubborn!"
After saying that, he let out a soft sigh and walked away. Princess Changqing was left alone and silently crying...
At this time, Princess Changqing withdrew her chaotic thoughts, cast her blank gaze at the misty moonlight outside the window, and said to herself: "Zhichao, my Lin'er, my mother really can't understand why you couldn't do it in the first place." Why would you choose to kill someone and escape from prison if you were staying in the sky prison?
"The emperor has already promised that he will arrange for someone to find out the truth and restore your innocence, but he didn't want something like this to happen. How could you make your mother so embarrassed?... Well, I don't know how you are doing now. You go again Where are you? Do you know how much your mother cares about you? "
Princess Chang Qing's eyes were filled with bitter tears, and she broke down in tears after speaking.
At this time, two maids, Yan Cui and Bi Yun, approached and whispered: "Princess, it's already very late. Go back to your room and rest!"
Princess Chang Qing said dullly: "Is the Marquis back?"
Yan Cui said: "Princess, have you forgotten? The Marquis sent someone to deliver a letter this afternoon and said that he will not be back tonight because of something else."
Princess Chang Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Oh, really, look at my brain...you guys should step aside first. If I don't call you, don't bother me again."
The two maids responded and withdrew.
Yan Cui whispered: "Princess has been thinking about her son like crazy these past two days, she's been nagging..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly fell silent and stood there as dumb as a wooden chicken; and Biyun beside her also felt the figure in front of her flicker, and before she could even exclaim, she felt numbness on her shoulders and lost consciousness.
Princess Chang Qing was mumbling to herself when the door outside suddenly clicked. Her heart trembled and she looked at the door in horror.
The door was pushed open with a bang, and a masked man in black stood at the door.
Straight black flowing green hair, slanting and straight eyebrows, clear and sharp black eyes, soft and soft thin lips, sharp outlines, tall, slender but strong and straight figure.
Under the night wind, the lapel is flying and dancing, like a jade tree in the wind, cold and lonely but heroic, showing a bit of depth and desertedness.
Princess Chang Qing's heart beat wildly, and she suddenly met his lustful gaze. Her heart felt sore and painful as if she had been pinched hard, and tears immediately came out.
The man in black gently closed the door and raised his hand to pull off the face towel.
Washed by the moonlight, that handsome and spotless face and those black and white eyes were particularly moving.
Princess Changqing cried with joy: "Zhichao, is it really you?..."
