The brother-in-law said: "The third brother is still young, why bother to think about the future."

Duan Yu said: "I also know that the future will be long, and this Emperor Lao Shizi will be in office for many years. Since the elder brother is no longer an official in the Liao Kingdom, why not stay in Dali, and we brothers will hunt and drink together in our free time, otherwise we will always be flattered by those people His face is very boring."

The brother-in-law said: "Dali and the Liao Kingdom are having a rift. In my capacity, it may be inconvenient to stay here."

Duan Yu said: "Brother, worry too much. Since you have left Daliao, the affairs of the Liao Kingdom have nothing to do with you. Although I live in a remote corner of Dali, a small country with few people, I have always been neither humble nor overbearing when I interact with Daliao. It's coercion." Having said this, he sighed slightly: "Zhongwuwei Jiang Ling has always advocated surrendering to the Liao Kingdom, saying that with the support of the Liao Kingdom, Dali will be able to strengthen our national power. Joining the Liao Kingdom is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, and the Liao Emperor has ulterior motives, and if he surrenders to the Liao Kingdom one day, he may be wiped out the next day."

Brother-in-law said: "Will Jiang Ling's death have something to do with the Liao Kingdom?"

Duan Yu said: "Does elder brother think the same way?"

Brother-in-law: "I met the two special envoys of Emperor Liao in Hanyang. They are not weak. I don't know if they colluded with Ye Mengdie."

Duan Yu said: "Jiang Ling is a general and knows a lot about Dali's frontier defense troops. I'm worried that he may have revealed something to the Liao people."

Brother-in-law said: "The most urgent thing is to find the person who killed Jiang Ling."

Duan Yu nodded: "I have asked Big Brother Zhu to step up his guard against the whole city, and we cannot let them get out of the city easily."

I was behind the tree listening to the two people in the booth discussing strategies for catching thieves, and someone tapped me lightly on the shoulder.I turned around and saw Mu Wanqing.

She was wearing a gorgeous long palace dress and looked at me softly.Probably because the married life is very happy, people are plumper than before, but they look more beautiful.

"Is Zimei's eyes better?"

I put my hands behind my back and said with a smile: "So it's my sister-in-law who came."

She looked at the hibiscus bushes with full eyes, and said, "Duan Lang must be very happy that brother Xiao and Zimei came to Dali."

There was no trace of the quack aura of the past on her body, she was elegant.I said: "I always live in the palace, don't you feel bored?"

She said: "As long as I'm with Duan Lang, I can go anywhere. Sister Ling is pregnant, so she can't move around at will. Otherwise, with her temperament, she won't be able to live anywhere."

She casually brushed the twigs hanging down to her shoulders, and I looked at the pool of clear water in front of me, and said casually: "Well..." Then I remembered something and said, "We met Miss Wang outside Hanyang City."

She was a little surprised: "Miss Wang, is she okay?"

I said: "She and Murong Fu are together, saying they are going back to Gusu Yanziwu."

She nodded and said nothing.

I looked at her expression and asked: "My little brother loves the other when he sees one, but he doesn't know which one he loves the most. If he is like this, won't you be jealous?"

"I know Duan Lang treats me sincerely."

"But he still has someone else in his heart, so he only treats you half-heartedly."

She looked at me with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, Zimei seems to have a lot of insights into the word love."

I was looked at unnaturally by her, so I had to say: "I'm just... just talking."

"When he was with Miss Wang in the past, there was no one else in his eyes. I was almost heartbroken. Later, he chose to be with me. I cherish it. I don't care what he treats me. I treat him wholeheartedly. We are very happy to experience everything in the world together.”

When she said this, her eyes were blurred, and she didn't know if she was telling it to me or to herself.

A guard ran in from the arch and ran all the way into the Fanghua Pavilion: "Report to the emperor, the murderer who assassinated Lord Zhongwuwei appeared on the street."

Duan Yu stood up suddenly: "Have you caught it?"

The guard said: "Master Zhu has already brought someone there."

I heard it from afar and frowned.

Shen Jue appeared on the street?Not all the people on that street died.

I left Mu Wanqing and walked out from behind the tree, my brother-in-law also stepped out of the pavilion, we rode fast horses and followed the guards to the middle of the street.

The door of Mingxin Inn was already surrounded by spectators, and it was not easy for us to squeeze in. The surrounding area of ​​the inn was already full of officers and soldiers.

Duan Yu's three guards were standing at the door.Zhu Danchen asked, "Where are people?"

The guard officers and soldiers said as if they were taking credit: "Report to the three adults, that group is in the last room on the left side of the second floor of the inn."

Zhu Danchen frowned while walking in, "Are they still there?"

The officers and soldiers followed him and said: "The owner of the Mingxin Inn found them suspicious and sent his men to report to the police. The gang killed the inn owner and Xiaoer and trapped them in the guest room on the second floor. We dare not attack rashly. Sir, please decide."

The stairs of the inn seemed to be in disrepair for a long time, making a squeaking and harsh sound.We came to the end of the corridor on the second floor, and the door of the room was closed.Dali's officers and soldiers surrounded the door of the house, waiting for the battle.Zhu Danchen kicked the door open.

The two doors fell to the ground directly, and the two people behind the door shivered in the corner of the wall. They mustered up their courage before they dared to take a look outside.Seeing us, the two of them crawled over and said, "The official made atonement, but the little people didn't do anything."

Someone in the crowd pointed at them and said, "Isn't this Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San?"

Zhu Danchen said: "Why are you here? Where are Ye Mengdie and Shen Jue?"

Seeing that it wasn't that group of people who came back, Mu Lao Er calmed down a bit and said, "If the adults ask, the villain will not know at all. The villain brothers were arrested here, and the gang threatened us that if we dare to speak out, we will be killed." us."

According to the two of them, they were brought here by the gang of vicious people, who disappeared.Mu Er Er then sighed: "Oh, I don't know how my eldest niece is doing now!"

Ling Yu who was following me asked, "What's wrong with Ah Ruan?"

Mu Laosan patted his head and said: "Yes, there is also my eldest niece, officials, please go and save her, she was captured by those people, and now I don't know if she is dead or alive."

Elder Mu tugged at his sleeve, trying to explain what had happened: "We bought wine from the street after gambling and were about to go home when we saw Ah Ruan walking with a group of strangers. From our appearance, we were worried that Ah Ruan would be bullied, so we grabbed the guy and rushed up, but those guys are very skilled in martial arts, so we were knocked out and brought here before we understood what was going on."

Zhu Danchen rubbed his temples and listened to these words, before he could speak, his brother-in-law suddenly said: "They are going out of the city."

Everyone looked at him, and he turned and rushed downstairs.Zhu Danchen and the others also quickly understood that this was a strategy to attack the west, and rushed out of the inn one after another, mounted their horses, and rushed towards the city gate.

Ling Yu and I also quickly followed, while Mu Laosan was still shouting from behind: "That acquaintance, little brother, must save our Ah Ruan."

When we arrived at the gate of the city, all the soldiers guarding the city were lying dead on the ground, and that group had already left in the dust.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then someone pointed in one direction and said, "Look, that's..."

In the nearby mountains outside Dali City, flames danced and a burst of smoke rose into the sky.That place is condescending, and the terrain is very good.

The faces of everyone in Dali couldn't be darker.

The site of the fire is Tianlong Temple, a royal temple in Dali.

The brigade rushed out of the city like lightning, and hurried up the mountain.

From the northern foot of Cangshan Mountain, Tianlong Temple is located deep in the pine branches and leaves. The scenery is very beautiful and solemn.

It's a pity that the temple is now in chaos.Those who draw branches draw branches, and those who splash water splash water.On weekdays, the strict monks made messy cassocks to fight the fire, and their faces were also dirty.

The three of Zhu Danchen commanded his subordinates to put out the fire, and the people moving the water tanks came in and out. After a long time of fussing, the fire was brought under control.

The abbot bent his palms together because the Zen master pulled out his body to greet us, and said, "Amitabha, I hope everything can be done in time."

Hearing that there was an accident in Tianlong Temple, Duan Yu also rushed over, entered the courtyard of the temple and bowed to Ben Yin first, looked around, and asked, "Is uncle all right?"

Ben Yin said: "Junior Brother Ben Chen...was taken away by the arsonist."

Duan Yu panicked.

Benyin took a letter from the young monk and presented it to Duan Yu: "This is what they left behind."

The letter read: Duan Yu, the Emperor of Dali, personally sent it.

Ben Yin said: "Because it is stated in the letter that His Majesty should personally sign it, we dare not make mistakes."

Duan Yu couldn't wait to open the letter. The handwriting on the letter was neat and elegant, and he wrote: "If you want to see Duan Zhengming, please come to Wuliang Mountain tonight. For your family affairs, you can go alone."

Duan Yu said: "The thieves took uncle hostage to Wuliang Mountain." As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave, Zhu Danchen caught the letter that Duan Yu had dropped, and read it hastily: "Your Majesty must not go alone, it is clearly tempting Deep ruse."

Duan Yu got on the horse: "I can't just see my uncle in danger and ignore it."

Brother-in-law said: "It's best for everyone to go together and see what they think. After entering Wuliang Mountain, everyone will play by ear."

Duan Yu thought for a while, and said: "That's fine." Fan Mahua beside him said: "I'll go back and send troops to station at the Wuliang Mountain Pass."

After finishing all arrangements, Duan Yu rode his horse towards Wuliang Mountain without any further hesitation.
