"Wan'er, we have always been kind to you, why are you doing this?"
Princess Huanyu's personal maid, Wan'er, secretly followed the princess as she was delivering meals to Ling Yun. She accidentally discovered some clues and ran to the imperial guard Li Zhishan to report the secret.
Faced with the fierce situation and the overwhelming army, Princess Huanyu's eyelashes trembled slightly and she spoke word by word through her teeth.
Wan'er's eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile showed wanton provocation, and she said slowly: "No matter how kind the princess is to me, how can it be as real as that one hundred thousand taels of silver reward? If you can't have your cake and eat it too." , I have no choice but to bear the pain and make a choice."
Huanyu's eyebrows stood up, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she cursed angrily: "You... you are such a shameless bitch who forgets all the benefits!"
Without being able to explain, she raised her hand and pulled out the long sword from the waist of an attendant beside her, gritted her teeth and slashed at the head of the woman she hated so much.
The sword light was sharp, like a thunderbolt piercing the sky, spitting out a deep and cold light, hitting Wan'er's head directly.
Wan'er couldn't help but panic. While she was dodging in a hurry, she shouted exaggeratedly: "Oh no, the princess is so angry that she wants to kill someone and silence her!"
Li Zhishan's eyes narrowed slightly; he stepped forward and "blocked the Tianmen" in a clean and neat manner, blocking with both arms, and instantly stopped the princess who was out of control.
"It's so scary, Commander Li, save me!..." Wan'er staggered over and hid behind Li Zhishan. Her face was filled with fear, her eyes were wide open, and her teeth were chattering.
Huan Yu was furious and stared at the pitiful, weak and innocent woman in front of her. The cold light from her eyes was sharper than a knife, and she wished she could cut that person into pieces.
Li Zhishan's deep black eyes narrowed slightly, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Why, does the princess really want to be arrogant and kill people to silence her?"
Huanyu's face turned red and white in turns, and the raging anger was raging in her chest but could not be released; she could only stamp her feet angrily, and threw the sword to the ground angrily.
Li Zhishan turned back to the Prince of Jinling and said, "Your Majesty, the matter has come to an end. There is no point in further arguing. I just ask the Prince to reward me and hand over the imperial prisoner."
The prince of Jinling said coldly: "Yes, Ling Yun is here with me, but I am not harboring a prisoner of the imperial court. Because he is seriously injured and can no longer suffer in prison, I just want to wait for him to recover from his injuries and personally Take him to see the Holy One.
"Now that you are here to arrest someone, we might as well go to see the Holy One and explain the matter to the Holy One. When the time comes, I will hand over Ling Yun."
"So the prince doesn't intend to hand him over to us?" Li Zhishan curled his lips and sneered, his tone full of arrogance and disdain.
"In this case, please don't blame me for being offended, Your Majesty! This person -" He deliberately prolonged the last few words.
Prince Jinling's face turned blue, his eyes widened with anger, and he said in a trembling voice: "Li Zhishan, you dare to be unreasonable, don't blame me for complaining to the Holy One, you will not be able to eat and walk around!"
"The Holy One gave Li the task of capturing the imperial criminals a month ago. Now Li is acting according to His Majesty's will. What is there to be afraid of?" Li Zhishan raised his eyebrows and looked arrogant.
In the voice, the emperor's solemn and low words in the royal study a few days ago lingered clearly in my ears:
"Pass the message, offer a reward of 100,000 silver, and go all out to capture Ling Yun. If the suspect cannot be captured within ten days, come and see him!"
“As long as we can arrest the suspect, we can do whatever it takes!”…
The emperor was very stern at that time and asked him to capture the imperial prisoner within ten days; but now, let alone ten days, almost a month has passed, and it is still in vain.
If Ding Jinzhi hadn't kept interceding for him and asked the emperor for a few more days of grace, what would have been the consequences of Long Yan's rage? He didn't even dare to think about it.
Now we finally have Ling Yun's exact information, and it's time to settle both public and private grievances - faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could he let it go so easily?
At this time, seeing the stern words of Prince Jinling and his strong resistance to this matter, and thinking about the hardships he had endured in order to capture Ling Yun in the past few days, it further aroused the bad breath in his heart and the determination to win.
"If the prince wants to sue, go ahead and sue - come and search the house!" Li Zhishan said flatly.
Prince Jinling's bloodshot eyes were as scarlet as ghosts, and he said sternly: "If you want to search the palace, you have to step over me - otherwise as long as I am alive, you will never be allowed to touch my palace. A piece of grass!”
After saying that, he stood in front of everyone like a Yuan Ting mountain; like a roaring tiger, his eyes were about to burst, and his beard and hair were all spread out.
Looking at the almost ferocious expression of Prince Jinling, Li Zhishan glanced sideways at Ding Jinzhi next to him, and there was a moment of hesitation on his face.
After all, the Prince of Jinling was a royal relative, a man of majesty and virtue; and given his status, he was really unwilling to openly confront him in a head-to-head confrontation.
But then I thought about it, if I couldn't make up my mind at this time, how could I catch Ling Yun? The opportunity is fleeting, don’t miss it again!
After thinking about it again and again, he finally made up his mind.
"Does the prince really want to make a fight to the death? Huh, if the prince really doesn't give Li some face, Li will have to risk his life to offend the prince! - Sir, why are you still standing there?"
His eyes swept over the guards on both sides with burning eyes, like a blade sweeping across them; deep in the bottomless black eyes, there was undisguised fierceness and murderous intent.
All the guards said "Here" in unison, and all their swords were unsheathed; all of them frowned and were ready to go.
When the prince of Jinling saw this, he let out a long sigh; he grabbed a long sword from the guard beside him and held it in front of him, intending to make a last ditch effort.
A bloody battle is about to break out.
At this time, only one person was heard shouting: "Wait a minute!"
Although the voice was not loud, even though it was just the word "Liao Liao", it was as sharp as a knife and penetrated to every detail. It reached everyone's ears and made their hearts tremble.
Looking along the sound, I saw a person coming slowly from far away. He looked calm and unhurried; he climbed up the stairs step by step. He was obviously the one disturbing the atmosphere, but he acted calmly as if he was not involved.
The person who came was none other than Ling Yun.
He was still wearing a refreshing and simple white gown. The light color made him look particularly pure. His eyes were even colder. Although it was a hot summer day and the sun was shining in the sky, it was like a sea surface in the middle of the winter night. Absolutely Underneath the depths, there are absolutely turbulent waves.
The surroundings suddenly became eerily quiet, like the prelude to a violent storm. All eyes present were focused on him. Everyone held their breath, not daring to move, and could even hear each other's heartbeats.
Silence, the terrible silence before a volcano erupts.
"Ling Yun, my eldest son of the Hou Ye Mansion, you finally showed up!" Finally Li Zhishan took the lead to break the current stalemate.
He stared deeply at the man in front of him, and the blood-colored demon surging in his eyes slowly emerged, and he said with a strange tone: "Ling Yun, you have made it difficult for all of us to find him! If you don't show up again, there will probably be blood here. It’s become a river!”
There was no fear in Ling Yun's eyes, as if he was born to be ruthless, indifferent and arrogant, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm here. If you have any problems, just deal with me alone, it has nothing to do with others."
Li Zhishan said: "Ling Yun is indeed Ling Yun. He is indeed courageous, knowledgeable and daring. Li admires him. Because of official duties, I have no choice but to offend him. Someone!——"
With an order, dozens of wolf-like guards swarmed forward.
Everyone found that no matter how thrilling the scene was, Ling Yun was unusually calm; his handsome and innocent face was calm, and his whole body exuded a tranquility and indifference that was untainted by the hustle and bustle.
He watched the ferocious minions rushing toward him with force, and he just smiled casually, stood motionless with his hands down, and allowed them to put the chains on him.
Quite different from Ling Yun's calmness and composure, Huan Yu on the side looked terrified.
She watched helplessly as the man she loved most was chained and brutally abused in front of her. Her heart felt as if it was being cut out by a sharp blade, and the pain was so painful that she almost suffocated.
"No!..." She yelled like crazy and rushed forward desperately, but was blocked by the guards on both sides.
Seeing that they were done, Ding Jinzhi and Li Zhishan finally let out a long breath, with proud smiles on their faces.
Li Zhishan ordered: "Take it away!" The guards pushed and pushed Ling Yun out.
Prince Jinling was so angry that his face turned pale, and he stood shaking his clothes; Princess Huanyu's face turned pale and she was at a loss.
The father and daughter stared blankly at the Ouchi guards who were withdrawing from their side one after another. They were helpless and their minds went blank.
The sky above the sky is glowing with a dark blue light, shrouding the entire palace compound with sadness; faint melancholy clouds overlap on top of each other, squeezing on the horizon; the biting wind is flowing around unbridled, looking at people with schadenfreude. The embarrassment.
Everyone left, and in the huge courtyard of the palace, only Prince Jinling, Princess Huanyu and a dozen or so servants and guards from the palace of Jinling were left, standing dumbly like wood carvings and clay sculptures, not knowing where to go.
Princess Huanyu seemed to have fallen into the cold river at this time, her limbs were floating and she had completely lost her strength; her mind was also groggy, and her thoughts were like smoke flying around in circles, completely unable to condense into a fixed form.
It took a long time for her to regain her composure. As if a child who had been wronged, lonely and helpless suddenly saw someone close to her, she threw herself into the arms of Prince Jinling and cried loudly: "Dad, what's the matter?" Let’s do it, what should we do now?”…
