King's favor is hard to do

There was a buzzing in Li Guangning's head.The words that the attendant who broke in at the banquet just now flashed by his ears when he knelt and kowtowed:

——"I followed Master Du to Xuanhu Lane to get medicine, but was surrounded by a group of robbers. They cut off our carriage and blocked our escape route. Master Du asked me to ask His Majesty for help, but he himself was still trapped in Xuanhu Lane ! At this moment, life and death are uncertain, please save him, Your Majesty!"

——I beg Your Majesty to send someone to take a look—those people are holding long knives and sticks, they really can kill people!

——If you drag it on, it will really be too late!

How many hours ago was that?Du Yuzhang he...he...

"Wang Li, go to Xuanhu Lane immediately!"

Li Guangning's legs and feet were weak and his breathing was short.He staggered, but walked in such a hurry that he could hardly climb into the carriage.Wang Li rushed up to help him, but he pushed him aside,

"Go away! I don't need your help! Go and order five hundred imperial guards for me... no, one thousand! Go to Xuanhu Lane, hurry up! Du Yuzhang is still there... wait for me to save... if you drag it on, it will be real That's too late!"

……

"Hurry up! What are you dawdling about! Something happened to Du Yuzhang, I cut off your heads!"

The imperial guards drove the carriage fast, but Li Guangning kept yelling loudly.Too anxious, he didn't even put on the guard of honor, lest he go one step too late.

Li Guangning's palms were covered with sweat, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

If something happened to Du Yuzhang...then he...

No, nothing will happen to Du Yuzhang!It has always been a disaster for thousands of years!An evildoer like Du Yuzhang was sent by the heavens to harm Li Guangning!If he is not harmed enough, and if he is not by his side for decades, Du Yuzhang will never die!

Suddenly, a few government servants on horseback came out of the bend in the road ahead.The steed on the Yujia slowed down, and the carriage visibly bumped—this is Yujia!Even a slight jolt could knock your head off!

The imperial bodyguard who was driving was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he whipped his horsewhip towards the yamen servant on the opposite side.

"Who is it! This is His Majesty's driver! What crime should I have for colliding with the driver!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life! We are servants of the magistrate's yamen in the capital, and we only got the order from the prefect of Han to go to Xuanhu Lane to handle the case! We rushed over and ran into the royal driver because we didn't see the guard of honor!"

"Hanging Pot Alley?"

Hearing this sentence, Li Guangning opened the car door all at once.

"Is Du Yuzhang there? How is he? Is he injured?"

"Your Majesty, we don't know the whereabouts of Du Xiang."

"You trash... Where is Han Yuan? Call him to see me!"

"According to the order!"

"Wait!" Li Guangning suddenly remembered something,

"Since you have received the order from Shangfeng, you should know what happened tonight, right? Has anyone been injured today? Is the injury serious?"

Several yamen servants exchanged glances and spoke hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, tonight is a brawl. Both sides are strong in the Jianghu. I don't know if it's black and white... The scene... is very bloody."

"Did you really meet a robber?" Li Guangning's heart tightened, "How many people were injured? Is it serious?"

"Your Majesty, no one was injured in tonight's case."

Li Guangning breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly his heart sank—there was no one injured, why did the yamen servant say "the scene was bloody"?His face turned pale all of a sudden, and he stared closely at the yamen servant.

The yamen servant didn't realize it, and continued talking.

"...Because there were a total of [-] people involved in the case in that alley, all died on the spot, and no one survived."
