step by step

Although Zhao Yan led the soldiers to go through the official way, but after all, it was a team supported by the government, and the speed was not as fast as the BMW under Ye Zhaoyan's crotch.

Ye Zhaoyan clenched his teeth tightly, urged the horse to speed up, and finally caught up with Zhao Yan.

After passing Dongchang Street, the team split into two, and dozens of people went along a small path in the other direction, and the remaining thirty people continued to follow Zhao Yan.

Ye Zhaoyan, who had been steadily chasing behind the team, immediately got anxious, carefully discerned for a moment, and chased after the leaving team.

"Who?!" The person in front immediately reined in and blocked her with a knife, "What are you doing here?"

Ye Zhaoyan pulled the reins, and the horse neighed, and its front hoofs were raised high and it stepped on the ground.

Zhao Yan heard the shouts, and was about to order his troops to stop, when he suddenly heard a woman's charming voice behind him: "Which yamen are you from?"

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and were stunned on the spot for a moment.

It was a woman wearing a plain skirt and a veiled hat, her hair was simply combed into a cloud bun, and a hosta flower was inserted obliquely between her temples. The stern aura that was revealed at the moment completely destroyed the woman's softness.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at them coldly from the horseback.

"Who is the girl looking for?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"My Diao Nu sneaked out and sneaked into your team just now, please let me go in and look for it."

Zhao Yan pondered for a moment, seeing that the girl in front of him seemed courageous, turned around and told his subordinates, "Check it out."

After a while, the man came back and reported: "My lord, no."

Ye Zhaoyan shook the reins, straddled the horse and paced around, then his eyes fell on someone in the team.

"This person doesn't look like yours."

Ye Zhaoyan pointed to the injured man.

Zhao Yan looked in the direction of her finger, his face changed slightly, he was silent for a moment, and said, "Miss admitted a mistake."

Ye Zhaoyan laughed: "Really?"

Zhao Yan's expression became more serious: "All my subordinates are here, how can they mix with ordinary people?" He pointed to the people around, "Please be careful, girl."

Ye Zhaoyan was not annoyed, and said softly, "If that's the case, then I'm being abrupt."

She slowly rode over Zhao Yan and walked forward.

After Zhao Yan watched the horse's hooves go away, he turned around, and the anger on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a gloomy expression.

"My lord, what's the matter?" the Deputy Envoy asked worriedly.

"Keep an eye on the person." Zhao Yan raised his eyes and glanced ahead, then said in a low voice, "I'll wait here, you guys go find a carriage and send the person back, don't disturb anyone."

The Deputy Envoy frowned and said doubtfully, "My lord, do you think that?"

Zhao Yan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Don't let anyone see him, understand?"

The deputy envoy hesitated for a while, cupped his hands, and said, "I obey."

At this moment, Ye Zhaoyan reined in, and the horse neighed and turned to the side of the team. She slapped away the soldiers standing in front of the three of them with a sword, reined in the rein, jumped off the horse, and grabbed the man by the shoulder: " Hello! Do you know me?"

She pulled hard, but didn't pull the man whose back was facing her.

The shoulders are soft...the man is unconscious! …

Before she could continue to move, several soldiers who reacted dragged the man back into the crowd.

The man not far from him suddenly raised his head, and Ye Zhaoyan's shadow was reflected in his pupils.

It's Wei Yu.

His expression was dull, as if he had no energy.

The corner of Wei Yu's mouth moved, but she never made a sound, and was dragged into the crowd like a puppet.

A knife rested on Ye Zhaoyan's neck. Ye Zhaoyan looked up and met a pair of cold and stern eyes.

Zhao Yan sternly reprimanded: "You are so bold, dare to block the way of the investigation department!"

Ye Zhaoyan quickly explained: "Master Zhao misunderstood..."

"Shut up!" Zhao Yan's eyes were cold, "Follow me to investigate the case, or I will kill you!"

The person they escorted just now has a special identity, and it is best not to reveal their identity unless necessary.

Zhao Yan knew about this matter in his heart, so he did not hesitate to personally lead the escort to avoid mistakes.

They came here on the order of Emperor Donglin, if they leaked their secrets during the work, they would be too much to walk around.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Ye Zhaoyan screamed inwardly, with a hint of arrogance on his face, "My lord doesn't know my identity, so it's better not to act rashly."

This appearance really looks like a young lady who doesn't know much about the world.

Zhao Yan glanced at the dark lines on her clothes, pursed his lips and said nothing, hesitated for a moment and put her on the horse with his own hands.

Ye Zhaoyan did not resist.

Zhao Yan's heart was slightly relaxed, it seemed that this person was arrogant on the surface, but in fact he was just a little girl.

Taking advantage of the moment he was put on the horse's back, Ye Zhaoyan held the dagger at his waist with his backhand, and at the same time quickly pulled out a small and exquisite dagger from his waist and pressed it against the opponent's neck.

Zhao Yan was taken aback, and drew out his saber to resist, but Ye Zhaoyan was already one step ahead, flying onto the horse.

The horse raised its hooves and ran happily. Ye Zhaoyan sat on the back of the horse, feeling the energy and blood surging all over his body, and a rush of heat rushed straight to his forehead.

"Stop her!" Two soldiers stopped her.

"Drive!" Ye Zhaoyan swung his whip, and the horse used all its limbs to break free from the reins. It jumped up and kicked the people blocking the road away, and turned into an alley.

She was skilled at riding and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Yan and the Deputy Envoy looked at each other, and they both saw the shock and uneasiness of the other party. Immediately, Zhao Yan restrained his emotions and said to everyone: "Hurry up!"

They can't delay for too long, if someone finds out what they are doing, it will be bad.

This sudden episode did not disrupt the progress of the team, and Zhao Yan soon arrived at the destination - Zhuo Wang's Mansion.

In front of the door was a line of people from the investigation department, who attracted attention as soon as they arrived at the door.

The servants who greeted the door of Zhuo Wang's Mansion were so frightened that their faces were livid.

The butler, Tong Qian, looked distressed, and said respectfully to Zhao Yan: "Master Zhao, the prince is not feeling well today, and he will come later, please keep a low profile for the time being."

"Official business."

A group of people walked into the mansion, and as soon as they arrived at the flower hall, they smelled a strong smell of medicine.

Zhuo Wang is really ill.

Tong Qian hesitated for a moment, and begged, "My lord insists on this, and this old slave will not stop me. The prince said that my lord is too tired to travel, please go to the main hall for a cup of tea."…

Zhao Yan thought for a while, but did not refuse, nodded and said: "Thank you."

Tong Qian bowed and said, "Master Zhao please."

After the tea had cooled completely, Zhao Yan glanced at the people waiting outside the door, frowned slightly, and got up to search.

"My lord! There is a secret order!" A messenger in an indigo official uniform hurried over and handed Zhao Yan a document wrapped in sheepskin.

Zhao Yan took a look at it, and his expression gradually became subtle.

"My lord." Seeing this, the Deputy Envoy's heart trembled, and he couldn't help being curious.

"Master Zhao." A soft call.

Zhao Yan turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a purple robe approaching slowly. He was handsome, with majestic facial features, and an elegant and calm demeanor.

"My lord." Zhao Yan clasped his fists and saluted.

The man raised his hand and shook his head with a faint smile.

He glanced at Zhao Yan, then at the parchment in his hand, and said, "Master Zhao handles the case, I will cooperate with you."

Zhao Yan looked at him quietly for a few moments, then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is so grateful for the righteousness of the lord. He sent a humble officer to investigate the thieves and returned to the palace to return to his command. I also ask the lord not to disappoint His Majesty's kindness."

For some reason, the figure of the girl in the white dress who stopped people from asking about the young man appeared in his mind, setting off the calm Zhuo Wang in front of him...

too strange.

Zhuo Shicheng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Yan to say such a sentence, for a while, he was a little too late to react.

After a while, he regained his composure: "This trip has made Mr. Zhao suffer."

"" This officer's duty lies. "

Zhao Yanwenshu rolled it up and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, then turned and left.

Tong Qian hurriedly chased after him to see him off.

Zhuo Shicheng stood in the same place, staring deeply at his leaving back, and after a while, he ordered: "Send someone to watch carefully outside the case investigation department, if you miss any troubles, come and see him."

"Yes."
