No matter how fast Huo Linye and Yun Jiangche were, they would not be as fast as Concubine Shu.
During the ten days that Yun Si was at peace in the palace, Concubine Shu's orders had quickly fallen into the hands of the dead men who had been arranged along the way.
The leader was on the top of the mountain, looking at the carriage of the Yun family walking on the winding and bright road. He raised his hand and ordered: "On the order of the noble concubine, we kidnapped the two elders of the Yun family. After the incident is completed, you can use the name of the King of Chu to blackmail them." Threaten Yun Jiangche. To avoid going in other directions and encountering the King of Chu’s rescuers, which will mess up the empress’s plan for the third princess, move to the west. There are real bandits to the west, move!”
"kill!"
On the hillside, the chaotic sound of horse hooves sounded, and the Yun family's team was in chaos!
There are real bandits making trouble in the west. It doesn't matter whether the two Yun family members live or die. When the time comes, the real bandits will be blamed. As long as they can conceal it and delay it, Concubine Shu's plan to ask Yun Jiangche to marry the third princess will succeed...
On the other side, Yun Jiangche and Huo Linye, who were traveling day and night, had arrived at the designated location and were waiting for the Yun family's team to meet them.
"Sir, it's not good!"
Late at night, Hexi opened Yun Jiangche's door without warning.
Yun Jiangche still held the pen in his hand, and wrote a letter to Yun Si to report her safety, with only four words left.
Looking at the rushing river, Yun Jiangche felt something was wrong: "But what happened to my parents?"
Hexi knelt down in front of Yun Jiangche with a 'plop': "The people sent by the young master to explore the way in advance did not see the whereabouts of the master and his wife. They only saw numerous dead and injured servants of the Yun family in the countryside of Zhongzhou. Those who were alive, The master and his wife were kidnapped by bandits!"
"In the territory of Dazhou, bandits are causing trouble and robbing people of the Yun family. How can this be unreasonable? It's extremely ridiculous!"
Yun Jiangche pressed his hand hard, and the pen instantly split into two halves.
Before he could ask further, there was a knock on the door.
The visitor didn't even ask a question. He just pushed the door open and walked in in a arrogant manner.
"Fifth Young Master."
Under the bright candlelight, Yun Jiangche looked at the person in front of him clearly: "It's so late. King Chu also knew about the two elders of my Yun family and asked you to tell me?"
The man straightened his back and smiled disdainfully: "Everyone inside and outside this inn is from King Chu. The two elders of the Yun family are now missing. Fifth Young Master, you should have produced the confession of the third princess, right?"
Yun Jiangche's eyes darkened fiercely: "Did the King of Chu send people to kidnap the second elder of my Yun family and come here specifically to threaten me and ask me to hand over the confession of the third princess?"
"Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. Otherwise, how could the Fifth Young Master be willing to marry the Third Princess honestly? Now, it depends on whether the Fifth Young Master wants to choose this deal. Should he marry the Third Princess to save the second elder of the Yun family, or look at Yun's family? The second son of the family will die of old age. If the fifth son chooses the latter, you will be the one who killed your parents."
Yun Jiangche gritted his teeth and looked at the person who exited: "Huo Linye, you are simply a despicable person!"
He Xi said: "Sir, how dare the King of Chu do such a thing? The Yun family's position of power is not that of ordinary merchants. If the master and his wife are lost in the Great Zhou Dynasty, His Majesty Xizhou will never let it go. He is doing this for Third Princess, do you want to disrupt the diplomatic relations between the two countries?"
The descendants of the Yun family strive for success, from the direct line to the side branches, they are either the pillars of the country or have a prominent reputation. With the support of the Yun family, the Xizhou Dynasty can stand even more firmly.
This is why it is said that Yun Si married Huo Linye at a low age.
And now...
Yun Jiangche sneered: "Haven't you ever heard that being a guest is a dwarf? This is the reason why emperors will not easily visit other countries, because they don't know how to die in a foreign place."
"Huo Linye borrowed the help of gangsters to do this. Even if something happens to his father and mother, no matter what the heavens and the earth, it cannot be blamed on Emperor Wu Zong. After all, Emperor Wu Zong personally sent the prince to greet him, which was enough to give him face. . We have no evidence to prove that it was Huo Linye who did it, unless what the man said just now is heard by the world!"
Hexi's heart sank: "Master, then you really want the third princess's confession..."
"Go find him!"
At that time, Huo Linye had just received the news that the two elders of the Yun family were in trouble, and was about to go find Yun Jiangche.
The concubine Shu just sent to Huo Linye to provoke Yun Jiangche's entourage. Just when she was about to explain to Huo Linye, the door was kicked open.
With the earth-shattering sound, Huo Linye saw the person coming clearly and started to slap the case.
"Fifth Young Master, do you think this is in the boundary of Xizhou?"
Yun Jiangche laughed angrily: "Yes, this is in Dazhou, that's why you dare to kidnap my parents and kill my Yun family members!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I do such a despicable thing?"
"You dare to say no? Have you done many despicable things?"
Huo Linye didn't know it at all, but the follower behind him had a guilty look in his eyes when Yun Jiangche looked over.
"The person behind you just came to tell me personally. You want me to hand over the confession of the third princess, so that I can be tricked by you into marrying the third princess. So you still want to quibble?"
Yun Jiangche had no doubt that Huo Linye was this kind of person!
Besides, he has no obligation or reason to make excuses for him.
Huo Linye was wronged, and he became angry and looked at the followers behind him.
The entourage lowered his head and walked up and whispered: "The imperial concubine said that this is the only way, and what she does is no different from what the prince did. It's okay to make Yun Jiangche think that the prince did it. It's just right, let him I have a fear."
Huo Linye didn't expect that he would be slapped with a hat on his head thousands of miles away.
Although he disdained to use such despicable means, this move was nothing more than the best way to restrain Yun Jiang Che.
The attendant said softly: "The imperial concubine has said that if Yun Jiangche doesn't comply, she will kill Yun's parents and pretend to be bandits. At this point, there is no turning back. Prince, you have to continue the show and don't let the imperial concubine down." plan."
Concubine Shu knew that Huo Linye would not do such a despicable thing, and she could not personally threaten Yun Jiangche.
Therefore, this method was used to force Huo Linye to do it.
Huo Linye secretly clenched his fists and looked towards Yun Jiangche.
Under the candlelight, Yun Jiangche's eyes were full of anger and disdain.
This expression actually overlapped with Yun Si's.
His heart twitched hard and his voice was difficult: "Yun Jiangche, for the sake of the confessions of the second elder of the Yun family and the third princess, you... hand it over!"
A sarcastic smile appeared on Yun Jiangche's cold face: "Hahaha, Huo Linye, you are really despicable and shameless to the extreme. For someone like you, you are worthy of missing my sister!"
"I don't have time to tell you this. If you want your parents to live, just hand over the confession. I guarantee that they will be fine."
Yun Jiangche closed his eyes and took out the confession from the third princess——
