The Jingzhao Mansion Office has been busy these past two days. The public kitchen has been cooking meals at twelve hours a day. The governor Liu Jinghong seems to have aged ten years overnight and has not slept a wink for two whole days.
Hearing the commotion outside the door, Liu Jinghong's heart palpitated. He knew that Leng Linjiang had found out Xie Mengxia's whereabouts and had gone to rescue people with the Yamen and Jinwu Guards. However, who knew what might happen.
He had a withered face and hurriedly ran out. When he went out, he didn't pay attention and tripped over the threshold. He staggered and held on to the door frame. He looked up and saw Leng Linjiang leaning on him, with tears and snot dripping down his face. Meng Xia.
He suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and at some point, cold sweat covered his back.
Good, great, he is finally back. His Highness, the King of Han, who is alive, can cry, and has no missing arms or legs, is finally back.
It was, oh my God, an eye-opener.
Liu Jinghong cried with joy. He ran very fast for the first time and rushed up to meet Xie Mengxia. He carefully looked up and down at Xie Mengxia and then howled loudly: "Ancestors bless you, ancestors bless you."
When Xie Mengxia saw Liu Jinghong, it was like seeing a savior. He screamed and threw himself into Liu Jinghong's arms, feeling extremely painful.
He was so strong that he staggered Liu Jinghong and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Leng Linjiang supported the two of them.
Jian Yi's ears hurt from the howling, so he took out his ears.
What's wrong with all this? It's okay to cry twice and pray for rain.
Leng Linjiang was still awake and supported the two of them and said, "Sir, His Highness is tired."
With just these words, Liu Jinghong came back to his senses and said: "Yes, yes, I see the old minister is confused. Come on, help His Highness in first. Where is the cook? Let him cook quickly."
Xie Mengxia cried weakly and burped: "It doesn't have to be too good, just two steamed buns and a plate of fried peanuts."
Liu Jinghong said quickly: "Quick, why go upstairs? Quick, tell the stove to do it quickly."
Jian Yi shook his head speechlessly. As a grandson who was favored by the saint, this was really not a high request.
He escorted Xie Mengxia into the side hall to rest, and after watching the hot steamed buns, fried peanuts, half a chicken, and a bowl of mutton soup being brought to the stove, he saluted respectfully: " Your Highness, the general has also ordered people to search the house. The general will go over and have a look first, and will report back to your highness later."
Xie Mengxia couldn't lift his head from eating. He waved his hand, wrapped his mouth full of chicken, and muttered vaguely: "No, no, no need. You and Yun Gui can discuss it."
Jian Yi was speechless again for a while. After whispering a few words to Leng Linjiang, he left the Jingzhao Mansion Office.
Xie Mengxia felt as if he was in a storm, his stomach was full after eating, and he lay sprawled on the bed, burping all the time.
Leng Linjiang helped Xie Mengxia stand up: "Your Highness can't eat too much at one time, and you have to move around more to avoid accumulating food."
The iron chain on Xie Mengxia's wrist hadn't been removed yet, but when he raised his arm, there was a constant rattling sound. He felt a headache from hearing it, and asked Leng Linjiang with a grimace: "Yun Gui, can you take off this troublesome thing?" Drop it."
Leng Linjiang comforted him: "Your Highness, don't think nonsense. When Commander Jian left just now, he told Wei Chen that he would take advantage of it later."

The guy with the hand came over to help His Highness take off the chain. "
When Xie Mengxia saw the dark iron chain on his wrist, the veins on his forehead jumped with anger. He was a prince, a former prince, and he had never been humiliated like this before.
He was so sad that he lay on Leng Linjiang's shoulder and cried heartbrokenly: "Yun Gui, Yun Gui, tell me why my life is so bitter and why I am so unlucky."
Leng Linjiang sighed: "Your Highness, Your Highness, calm down, calm down." He tried to persuade him a few times, but failed to stop him. Suddenly he lost his patience, shook Xie Mengxia's shoulders a few times, and lay on his He growled in his ears: "Cousin! Cousin! There are no outsiders now. Can you please wake up and stop pretending?!"
Xie Mengxia was stunned by Leng Linjiang. In the past, he was cowardly and useless, and he was half real and half pretending. Now, even Leng Linjiang couldn't tell whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.
Leng Linjiang's roars of hatred resounded in Xie Mengxia's ears.
Xie Mengxia suddenly let out a breath and looked around. Indeed, Leng Linjiang was the only one there. His expression returned to normal, no longer frightened and frightened, and he did not appear weak or useless at all. He frowned and asked, "Yun Gui, what do you mean?" , who wants to harm me?"
Leng Linjiang helped Xie Mengxia sit down and sighed: "Cousin, please think about what happened in the past few days and tell me carefully."
Xie Mengxia had suffered. Although his cowardice and worthlessness just now, and his frightened out of his wits, were mostly just fake. Now that he was relieved, he was calm, but the pain in his bones also seeped out along the seams of his bones. , the whole person collapsed on the bed, muttering: "When will it be over?"
Hearing this, Leng Linjiang lowered his head.
He understands Xie Mengxia. He has never wanted to fight for anything, and he has never thought about that position. However, there are always people who feel that he is just fighting, that they cannot see his existence, and that they just want him to die and make him unable to continue. fight.
Xie Mengxia calmed down, and his unwillingness and pretentiousness were blown away like the wind. He said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. I just went to the Jiaofang three days ago and ordered Afu to accompany me. You know this, right?"
"Who was scared to death just now, and now it's nothing?" Leng Linjiang snorted, with disgust on his face: "I heard about it." He carefully told Xie the news that Han Changmu told him a few days ago. Meng Xia said, and continued: "Because of this, I arranged for someone to keep an eye on Afu. As soon as something happened to Afu, I knew immediately, and then I rushed to see the mark you left."
Xie Mengxia slapped his thigh hard and smiled shamelessly: "In that case, I have to thank Jiuzhao properly, and when he comes out of the Gongyuan, I have to treat him to a good meal."
"Jiu Chao is your savior. If you want to treat him to a meal, then who am I?" Leng Linjiang pointed at his two dark circles and curled his lips angrily: "In order to save you, look If I survive, I only have half a life left.”
Xie Mengxia patted Leng Linjiang's shoulder and smiled like a flower: "You are one of our own, one of our own."
"Oh, you don't need to reward me?" Leng Linjiang drew out his voice and chuckled jokingly: "Then what happened next? After Afu died, why were you kidnapped again?"
Xie Mengxia's face fell, and he groaned with a grimace: "What else can I do? As soon as I woke up, a group of people rushed in.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I was still thinking that I was broken and jumped when I met the immortals. Who knew that these people were like evil spirits and beat me unconscious without saying a word. When I woke up again, I would be where you found me. "
Leng Linjiang asked in confusion: "Then, is there no one to guard it?"
Xie Mengxia snorted: "Why not? There are four or five of them. They are all very fierce. Even if they don't have enough food, they even beat people." He rolled up his sleeves and pointed to the spots of bruises on his head. , took a breath of air: "Look, look, there isn't even a good piece of meat left in this beating."
"You haven't been beaten enough. What is this? Is it comparable to the slap of a saint?" Leng Linjiang smiled and saw Xie Mengxia's face turned dark, and he quickly went back to make amends: "I was also careless. Now tell people to find medicine for you."
That was what he said, but he didn't even move his buttocks. He just continued to ask: "Then, when we led people to find you, why didn't we see the guard?"
"That's not because you were useless and scared them all away." Xie Mengxia made an indignant cry and continued: "It's strange to say that they knocked me out half an hour before you came over. I didn’t know what happened next, until you woke me up crying."
Leng Linjiang was puzzled: "This is wrong. They kidnapped you and ran away without mentioning or asking for anything? This is wrong. Who would do such a thankless thing with their heads high? ."
"I didn't mention anything, I didn't ask for anything!" Xie Mengxia suddenly exploded. He jumped eight feet high and his lips trembled with anger: "Who said they didn't ask for anything? They were like lions, asking for anything. You gave me thirty thousand taels, thirty thousand taels."
Xie Mengxia raised three fingers and screamed angrily.
A white light flashed in Leng Linjiang's mind, and he held Xie Mengxia's finger and asked hurriedly: "Thirty thousand taels, are you a banknote? From which counter? Why do you carry so many banknotes with you for no reason?"
Xie Mengxia looked at Leng Linjiang with disdain: "How stupid am I? I go to the Jiaofang with thirty thousand taels of silver notes?" He paused and continued: "That's right, that's right, I have a small seal. You can go to Hengchang Cabinet to pick up the small seal and pick up thirty thousand taels of cash."
"Did you give the seal to someone else?" Leng Linjiang was shocked.
"..." Xie Mengxia nodded guiltily.
Leng Linjiang twitched his lips: "I, you, aren't you stupid?"
"I can't help it." Xie Mengxia burst into tears all of a sudden, holding her heart and crying with tears streaming down her face: "I feel bad for you too, thirty thousand taels, I have to, how long do I have to save, it's all me My life, I, if I don’t give it to them, they, they will destroy me, destroy my life.”
Leng Linjiang breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the door, and shouted loudly: "He Denglou, come in."
He Denglou hurried over and stood with his hands tied.
Leng Linjiang's face was solemn and he ordered a few things resolutely: "First, go to the Jiaofang and check again whether the missing persons have returned. Second, go to Hengchang Cabinet and check whether anyone has used the small seal of His Highness the King of Han. If you want to withdraw cash, if it is not available, arrange for someone to guard it in the counter. If someone withdraws cash, there is no need to take it down on the spot, you can just follow."
He Denglou glanced at Xie Mengxia, who was clutching his heart and feeling a lot of pain, and said yes.
