sinking into sand

As the morning light dawned, the ox cart drove into Zilufang.

Yu Sha unloaded the sack containing Xie Jingrong, and someone helped carry Xie Jingrong into the house.

Yu Sha tidied up the cloth wrapped around his wrist, and nodded slightly to the man driving the ox cart.

This is to signal that he can go.

The man driving the ox cart endured and endured, but he couldn't help but say: "Pavilion master... we..."

"There is no pavilion master anymore." Yu Sha interrupted him: "From now on, what you owe me has been paid off, go live your own life."

The man wanted to say something more, but seeing Yu Sha's expression, he still didn't open his mouth, bowed his hands, and led the people away.

When Yu Sha walked into the room, Hua Chuibi was looking at the fainted Xie Jingrong.Hearing the sound of Yu Sha walking in, without turning his head, he looked at Xie Jingrong and opened his mouth.

"Why are you so capable?" There was a hint of teasing in his words: "Prince Dingzhou can also be captured by you."

Yu Sha stopped walking forward, he paused, looked at Hua Chuibi intently, and after a while, he spoke, with a hint of warning in his tone: "Xie Jingrong can't move, don't have other thoughts."

"Where do I have other thoughts?" Hua Chuibi straightened up, withdrew her gaze from looking at Xie Jingrong, and turned to look at Yu Sha: "I really feel that you have the ability. Although the Jinzhan Pavilion is full of people, it still focuses on security. , you can steal one out so quietly, it shouldn't be too difficult to send the Guan family's heir out of the city."

As he spoke, he tilted his head, counted the days briefly, and said, "Today should be the seventh day since the day around Lanping, and there are quite a few people who are going to send coffins out of the city... You should be here today?"

Yu Sha didn't comment, just walked over, picked up Xie Jingrong, and put him on the couch outside.

"Do as I told you before." He said to Hua Cuibi.

On the other side, in the Jinzhan Pavilion, people gathered in front of Xie Jingrong's bed.

Yu Duanjiang, Song Fushun and Zhu Zheng were all wearing pajamas, and they all rushed here after they had a rest and heard that something happened here.Yu Wangling is still asleep, the doctor gave him tranquilizing incense, but he still can't wake up now.Only Xiang Feibai and Zhai Su were dressed neatly in front of the bed. They had been busy all night and hadn't closed their eyes yet.

Zhai Su only looked at the empty bed, he was as cold as if he had just stepped out of an ice cellar.

No one expected that Xie Jingrong would be lost in such a heavily guarded Jinzhan Pavilion.

Not long after, a disciple from outside came to report, saying that they had thoroughly checked Jinzhan Pavilion, and they did not see any trace of Xie Jingrong.

At this time, Zhai Su seemed to have finally endured to the extreme, without saying a word, he turned around and was about to go out.

Song Fushun stopped him loudly.

"General Zhai, where are you going?"

Zhai Su stopped walking, but did not turn around to look at the crowd, and replied, "Call out the Iron Armored Army and search the city."

"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Song Fushun immediately reprimanded: "The Iron Armored Army is now stationed at the city gate and various barracks outposts. If you call it, call it?!"

"The prince is missing, and the Iron Armored Army is responsible for finding him."

"Who said that?" Song Fushun pointed to the bed, "Isn't the prince just resting here?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Yu Duanjiang and Xiang Feibai who was standing beside him, and he said, "Old Pavilion Master Yu, do you think so?"

Yu Duanjiang's eyes changed, he hesitated for a moment, and then followed up with Song Fushun's words: "Yes, what Elder Song said is correct, the crown prince is... he drank too much wine, caught the cold, and is still resting."

Song Fushun nodded slightly, and said, "That's exactly the reason! Hurry up and call some doctors to take care of the prince."

Xiang Feibai watched them play in silence, his eyes fell on Zhai Su unconsciously.The relationship between Zhai Su and Xie Jingrong was unusual, and he didn't know how Zhai Su would react.

With his back to the crowd, Zhai Su stood there like a piece of iron for a long time,

For a long time, he didn't turn his head back, and continued to walk firmly outside.

Seeing his appearance, Song Fushun didn't know what his plan was, so he called his name angrily.Quickly walked up to him and rotted him down.

"Zhai Su, don't forget your identity." He pointed at Zhai Su with a warning in his eyes: "You are in the Lijiang River, and you are here to control and take over the military affairs here. Now that the military affairs are not clear, you dare to do something arbitrarily?"

Zhai Su stared straight ahead, without looking at Song Fushun, and continued to walk sideways.

Song Fushun was even more astonished, he never expected that Zhai Su could really ignore the military situation just because of Xie Jingrong, who was like a mascot.If he mobilized the Iron Armored Army to search the city at this moment, the nobles in the Lijiang River have not completely settled down. If someone provokes troubles in the Lijiang River at this time, no matter which force is used, there will be further bloodshed.

Prime Minister Zhai would not want to see this happen.

Song Fushun began to gather strength in his hands, ready to keep Zhai Su behind no matter what.

At this time Zhu Zheng spoke.

"There are not many people in this world who can quietly... take the prince away from the Jinzhan Pavilion."

Zhai Su stopped walking and turned to look at Zhu Zheng.He squinted at Yu Duanjiang: "Old Pavilion Master, don't just watch the excitement. Look at how anxious my brother and the general are. Where is this person, you must have a charter. Otherwise Wake up that son of yours, he'll find a way."

Yu Duanjiang has nothing to do at the moment, and now in the Lijiang River, the person who did this is naturally Yu Sha who doesn't think of others.But he didn't know where this person was now, so he still had to ask Yu Wangling, so he played tricks on Xiang Feibai.

Xiang Feibai was really worried about Yu Wangling's body, but now that the situation was in front of him, he really had no choice but to take orders.

Yu Wangling managed to sleep peacefully for a while, but now he was woken up again, feeling worse than before going to sleep, not only was his mind chaotic, but his heart was beating like a drum.

With great difficulty, he regained his energy, listened to what Xiang Feibai had said, and sneered: "...he really knows how to make trouble."

Xiang Feibai knew he was talking about Yu Sha, and while supporting Yu Wangling's back, slowly fed him a sip of water.As he asked, "General Zhai can't hold back, he needs to send troops to search the city."

Originally, the progress of searching the city in the past few days was not too fast, but because there were heavy soldiers everywhere at the city gate, I was not afraid that Yu Sha would smuggle Guan Lan out.If Zhai Su wanted to mobilize troops for the sake of Xie Jingrong, and the gates of the city were not well guarded, there would be more opportunities to fish in troubled waters.

Yu Wangling thought for a while with a solemn expression, and then asked, "Seven days have passed since the incident around Lanping?"

Xiang Feibai also lowered his head to calculate, and said with certainty: "It's been seven days."

Sure enough.Yu Wangling thought that there would be a large number of people leaving the city today, as well as coffins.Si En is now missing. She was taught by Mu Yao, and she is very good at disguise. If she mixes with the crowd, if she doesn't test carefully, she may not be able to check it out.

These women of Peony Academy have indeed practiced the Tao thoroughly.

"Close the city gate." Yu Wangling said to Xiang Feibai: "No one can enter or leave until Xie Jingrong is found."

Xiang Feibai agreed, and asked again: "Then... how do I find someone?"

"Have people arrest the girls from all the prostitutes in Pingchunfang." Yu Wangling said, "Tie them to Fenghua Terrace, let the news out, and kill one if they don't see Xie Jingrong for a moment."

Xiang Feibai's hands supporting Yu Wangling trembled, he thought he was hiding well.But Yu Wangling still noticed it.

"You think I'm cruel?" he asked.

"No..." Xiang Feibai subconsciously denied it, and he was stunned for a moment before continuing, "...now that the Lijiang River is in such a mess, and there are still refugees...would it be bad to do this, I'm afraid there will be public anger."

Yu Wangling laughed, not knowing whether he was sincere or not: "Of course not good people."

He turned his head, not looking at Xiang Feibai, his eyes fell on a distant place: "Those street children in Zilufang are not allowed either."

"But who takes these lowly whores as human beings?"

"They betrayed themselves shamelessly in order to sleep peacefully overnight. Most of them are also snobbish, and they look very hateful once they gain power. Throw mud. Men look down on them, and women look down on them."

"Only a fool like Yu Shaomiao would cherish such a person."

Xiang Feibai understood what he meant, but it was hard not to feel palpitations.At the same time, faintly, there is still some worry.

"If, this time he is determined. No matter how many innocent people die, he will send Guan Lan out of the Lijiang River?", he asked.

Yu Wangling tilted his head, glanced at Xiang Feibai's expression, and said, "I'll go."

Speaking of getting up.

Xiang Feibai was startled when he heard the words, subconsciously he was going to hold Yu Wangling down, and he moved from both sides, just facing Yu Wangling's eyes.Caught off guard, the coldness in Yu Wangling's eyes made him shudder.

Yu Wangling looked at him with cool eyes, and he spoke after a while,

"Not innocent people."

He stared into Xiang Feibai's eyes, and said word by word: "If it is a big deal, it depends on the success or failure of the interests. Even if we talk about justice, there are big righteousness and small righteousness."

"The world is stable, the Daji Dynasty is restored to unity, the upper and lower recuperate, and there is no fear of foreign enemies. Only then will the people live and work in peace and prosperity, and there will be a peaceful and prosperous world." slip..(

"For this purpose, those nobles who are in the wrong team can be killed, so shouldn't these common people be killed?"

He pressed Xiang Feibai, almost like a question: "You never softened your heart in Raolanping that day, why did you kill a few untouchables today, but you are coddling it?"

Xiang Feibai couldn't hide the panic in his eyes when he was asked.

Yu Wangling thought it was funny, he said almost maliciously: "You can't be like that, feel sorry for them all of a sudden."

The panic in Xiang Fei's white eyes froze suddenly, as if a basin of ice water was suddenly poured down. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were a little red.The shaken look was gone.

He said, "Understood."
