Li Ruiyun and others held Ling Yun hostage and wanted to go to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice in the capital to get the dragon and phoenix jade talisman. At the gate of the city, he was stopped by Li Zhishan, the commander of the imperial guards, for a routine inspection.
At this time, Ling Yun, who was in the carriage, suddenly heard Li Zhishan outside calling respectfully: "Your Majesty."
"Prince?..." His heart trembled unconsciously, "Is it Prince Jinling?"
Just when I had this idea, I suddenly felt a numbness on my shoulders, and Li Ruiyun beside me had already sealed the dumb point with lightning.
Li Ruiyun put the corner of her lips close to his ear, and her voice was as thin as a gnat, but each word came into his ears clearly: "Ling Yun, I advise you not to have other thoughts and stay here well, otherwise don't blame me. You’re welcome!”…
The two of them were so close that each other's hot body temperature was almost in front of him, and they could hear each other's breathing.
A few strands of loose hair in front of Li Ruiyun's forehead fluttered lightly, tickling his neck. He turned sideways uncomfortably, trying to put as much distance between him as possible.
Looking at Ling Yun's expression of resistance and disgust, Li Ruiyun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in a joking way, with a smile of unknown meaning appearing on his face.
At this time, a voice like a bell was heard outside: "Li Zhishan, is there anything unusual today?" It was Zhao Fu, the prince of Jinling.
Li Zhishan said respectfully: "I have not reported to the prince yet. If I find any trouble, I will report it to the prince as soon as possible."
"That's good." Prince Jinling nodded. At this time, he frowned slightly and looked towards the carriageway with burning eyes: "By the way, who is in this carriage?"
As he said this, he walked forward. Looking at the posture, he wanted to lift the curtain and take a look inside.
Li Zhishan hurriedly stepped forward, blocked the door quietly with his body, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, this carriage has been inspected by humble officials. It belongs to two brothers. The younger brother has a cold and dare not see the wind. , my brother is taking care of me.
"This kind of patient is seriously ill and should not be seen by others. He is also extremely contagious. Your Majesty is a rich man. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I think it is best not to see him!"
Prince Jinling said "Oh" in confusion, his hesitant eyes turned on Li Zhishan's face, and there was a moment of hesitation on his face.
In the carriage, Ling Yun felt that the heart in his chest was beating faster and faster, almost jumping out of his throat; his hands that were tightly bound by chains also slowly clenched, and his palms were wet and covered with sweat.
He screamed over and over again in his heart: "Your Majesty, please open the car curtain quickly, open the car curtain quickly!...
"As long as you open the car curtain, I can be saved! I won't have to be forced to get any dragon, phoenix and jade talismans anymore, so I can go to see the Holy One and state my grievances! And the evil deeds of Li Ruiyun, Li Zhishan and other rebellious officials and traitors It will be exposed immediately, and all difficult things will be solved easily..."
His throat was burning with anxiety, and his heart was even more anxious. But he was controlled by others, and his mute point was also restrained, so he couldn't say a word!
What's more, Li Ruiyun was watching him eagerly.
At this time, Li Ruiyun's scarlet eyes were narrowed, and a cold murderous intention surged around him, and the surrounding air also condensed a bit.
His bloodthirsty eyes were clearly warning him: "Ling Yun, if you dare to make a move, I will kill you immediately!..."
So now Ling Yun can only worry, but can't do anything.
The air was stagnant for a moment.
Li Zhishan's deep gaze turned, and he turned to Bai Yu and others and said impatiently: "What are you doing standing still? If you don't leave quickly, you're blocking the way for the people behind you!"
Bai Yu understood this in his heart, and said "yes" in panic, and led everyone in a hurry towards the city gate.
In the end, Prince Jinling didn't say anything or take any next steps.
"It's such a pity that such a good opportunity to turn the situation around was missed in vain..."
Ling Yun couldn't hide the look of disappointment on his face. The back that had been stiff for an unknown amount of time suddenly collapsed at this moment, revealing the most real fatigue and sadness.
He weakly leaned his body against the back of the car behind him. The glimmer of hope that originally rose in my heart, like the twinkling fireworks on the vast grassland, was ruthlessly extinguished by a heavy rain in the blink of an eye...
The sun has risen higher and higher. Pale clouds drifted aimlessly in the distant sky. The sky was mottled with colors, and the scenery along the way was also cast in a strange color.
Li Ruiyun, Bai Yu and others finally entered the city smoothly and took Ling Yun hostage to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice, which had been raided.
Since this place was sealed off, it has become deserted with few saddles and horses. The once bustling streets in front of the mansion now also present a depressed and dilapidated scene.
Bai Yu reined in the reins in front of the mansion gate, turned over and dismounted. Li Ruiyun also pushed Ling Yun out of the carriage.
Without further ado, he raised his hand and took off the black scarf from Ling Yun's eyes. Immediately, a strong beam of sunlight came directly, piercing Ling Yun's eyes into a trance.
He hurriedly closed his eyes for a moment to adjust, and then slowly opened them again.
Li Ruiyun ordered the Tianxiao disciples around him: "You guys stay here and report to me immediately if you find out anything happens. The rest will follow me."
All the disciples held their breath and concentrated, and said in unison: "Yes!"
Li Ruiyun turned around again, glanced at Bai Yu with burning eyes, exchanged a knowing look with each other, and then pushed Ling Yun directly to the door of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice.
Ling Yun raised his head and looked at the shocking seal on the door of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice and the mottled and peeling paint on the door. He felt the corners of his eyes sore and suddenly felt like he was about to cry.
It seemed like I had gone back to many years ago. The former Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice had golden glazed tiles and a vermilion-lacquered door. Two large stone lions bared their teeth and claws at the door. There were soldiers in armor on both sides of the door, which was very majestic.
It was once tall, majestic and majestic; now it was depressed, dilapidated and devastated, forming a sharp contrast in front of his eyes.
The bustling, noisy, frustrated and lonely, everything was just passing by... At that moment, he felt sad and lowered his head sadly.
Li Ruiyun glanced sideways at Ling Yun. He was no longer as high-spirited as before, his clear eyes were lowered, his lips were pale, and the chains that bound his wrists fell to the ground, as if the shackles of an eagle were trapped and its wings were broken.
Looking at his sad and lonely expression, Li Ruiyun blinked with half-smiling eyes, and the smile overflowing from his lips made people's hearts tremble, "Why, Commander Ling fell in love with the scene?..."
Ling Yun came back to his senses, pierced him with cold eyes, and turned his face to ignore him.
Li Ruiyun had something on his mind and had no intention of ridiculing him anymore, so he pushed him to the courtyard wall on the side of the mansion gate.
He stretched out his ape arms and gently supported Ling Yun's slender body; then he paused his feet and performed an elegant "stepping on the blue clouds". His body was as light as flying, soaring into the sky, rising several feet in an instant, like an owl flying in the sky. It landed firmly on the top of the wall; its clothes were flying and its body was trembling.
Then he floated his legs again, holding Ling Yun's body and floating lightly in the yard, like a silver needle falling to the ground without making any sound.
Taoist Priest Baiyu and the disciples of Tianxiao also climbed in from outside the courtyard wall.
Li Ruiyun rarely came here before. Looking at the rows of houses, courtyards, and overlapping pavilions in front of him, Li Ruiyun couldn't help but frown.
He turned around and asked Ling Yun, "Where is Lu Wenzheng's study?"
Ling Yun's sharp cold eyes glared at him fiercely, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he said nothing.
Li Ruiyun suddenly remembered that when he met Prince Jinling at the city gate, he had sealed his mute point in a hurry. He couldn't help but smile and raised his hand to untie his mute point.
Ling Yun said expressionlessly: "Follow me." Without looking back, he walked straight forward.
Li Ruiyun, Bai Yu and all Tianxiao disciples hurriedly followed behind.
After turning around several corridors and courtyards, Ling Yun stopped and said, "We're here." As he said that, he turned his cold eyes and pointed to a palace in front of him.
Li Ruiyun looked at the palace attentively. I can only see the yellow and green glazed tile ridges here, with cut edges around it, and overhanging eaves and brackets, flying in the air, all in one piece. The surrounding area is thick with trees and luxuriant grass, showing its vicissitudes of life.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned back to look at Ling Yun with a deep look on his face: "The eldest son should invite me first."
Ling Yun glanced at him with disdain and sneered: "Is Gang Leader Li afraid that there is an ambush here?"
Li Ruiyun smiled and said: "Commander Ling is really quick to talk. But in extraordinary times, Li has to be on guard!"
Ling Yun snorted lightly, said nothing, and just walked forward. Dragging the chains on his feet, he walked up the steps step by step, slowly raised his hands bound by the chains, and gently pushed open the door of Mr. Lu's study.
What he saw before him was desolation and desolation. Dust and spider webs covered every corner of the room, and a big spider was sitting in the web. The room was in a mess, with tables, chairs and utensils scattered on the floor.
Ling Yun really couldn't imagine how this place could be in such a dilapidated state after being sealed for just a few days!
The strange thing is that Mr. Lu's office desk is still intact. Ling Yun looked at the book table in a daze, as if he had returned to a few years ago...
He seemed to see Mr. Lu sitting behind the desk and writing hard. After a while, Mr. Lu slowly raised his head, looked at him with serious and kind eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Commander Ling, what can I do?"
Ling Yun's eyes suddenly became cloudy and he shouted out loud: "Sir..."
At this time, a sarcastic voice came to his ears: "Why, is Commander Ling still thinking about your Lord Lu?"
Ling Yun came to his senses quickly and looked back at Li Ruiyun, Taoist Bai Yu and others who were following behind him.
"Ling Yun, you are such a charming person!..."
Bai Yu glanced at the past with disdain and said in a very impatient tone: "However, now is not the time for you to miss the past and be sentimental; stop dilly-dallying, where is the dragon, phoenix and jade talisman, hurry up Take it out!”…
