Jiaochu

Chapter 454 Rescue
After eating, Lu Yan wanted to send Ye Lingxi upstairs to rest. She called her cousin at the door, and Lin Chuan walked in from the door. Then Lin Chuan sent her and Su Shi to the room upstairs to rest.

After entering the room, Ye Lingxi gently opened the window and visually checked the height above the ground. When he raised his head, he found something flying over. It was covered in snow-white feathers except for a tuft of red hair on its head. It was a red pigeon. She looked slightly surprised and then happy, thinking that reinforcements must have arrived. She stretched out her hand, and Dan Ge flew over and gently grabbed her index finger, stopping on her hand with a small letter box tied to her paw.

After she took out the note from the mailbox, the red pigeon flew away, and its swift figure quickly disappeared into the shadow of the trees, disappearing without a trace. She closed the window gently, opened the note, took a look at it, and then burned the note.

After a while, she gently opened a crack in the door and took a look outside. Someone was guarding the door. Then she suddenly opened the door. As soon as the two people guarding the door turned around, a figure rushed out and spoke with a hundred words. Mi sprinted to the door of the next room and raised his hand to knock on the door.

As soon as the door opened, she walked in, closed the door immediately, raised her hand and shushed Su Shi, asking Su Shi to come inside to talk. As soon as she opened her mouth, the door was pushed open.

Lu Yan walked in and said, "Men and women are not allowed to be intimate, so the princess should go back to her room to rest." Ye Lingxi said angrily, "Who asked you to come in? Don't you know how to knock on the door first?" Lu Yan said with a smile, "Lonely A widower, are you afraid that I might ruin something good?" Ye Lingxi said, "Brother Su and I are going to play chess. You can go out." Lu Yan said, "Since the princess is so interested, I'll play with her first."

At this time, one of his subordinates came over and whispered a few words to him. Lu Yan apologized to Ye Lingxi and said that he could no longer play chess with her, and then left with the subordinate. Ye Lingxi reminded the two of them to close the door. Lu Yan said, "The door should be open, lest the princess be misunderstood."

After the people left, Ye Lingxi quietly said something to Su Shi. Su Shi's expression was slightly surprised. Even after returning to normal, she raised her voice again and said specifically to the people outside the door, "Brother Su, do you want black or white?" ?”

When Lu Yan came back, Ye Lingxi was playing chess with Su Shi. He walked in, took a look, and then left. After a while, Lin Chuan also came over to take a look, and then left too.

It was almost three o'clock, and the sound of chess pieces falling in the room had not stopped. The two of them were still playing chess, and the person guarding the door of the room looked alert and did not look sleepy at all, as if he knew what would happen next. Don't dare to relax at all.

The two lanterns hanging at the door of the inn were blown around by the wind, and the dim lights swayed here and there, then suddenly brushed against the ground and went out.

A group of men in black gathered from all around and quickly surrounded the inn. The leader led ten men in black and took the lead in fighting. The next moment, there was the sound of fighting, the flash of swords, and chaos inside.

Ye Lingxi heard the fighting downstairs and thought that reinforcements were coming. She ran to the door and saw that it was a group of men in black. They also teamed up with Lu Yan's men to deal with Lin Chuan's men. She immediately understood what was going on. , at this time Lu Yan came over with a silver gun and said, "Princess is not asleep yet, don't worry, it will be over soon." He smiled, looked at the person opposite, and ordered his two men to watch Ye Lingxi carefully. , don't let anyone hurt her even a hair, especially that face.

The next moment, he stepped forward quickly, jumped in the air, and stabbed his vital point with a spear. The sword blade cut him open. Lin Chuan asked the other party why he wanted to kill him. Lu Yan laughed and said, "You should ask the inspector, why?" I can’t keep you.”

Ye Lingxi could hear clearly at the door, and thought to herself that Liu Xin was really not a good person. He was just trying to kill the donkey. This cousin was also obsessed with things. How could he turn his elbows outward? He must have been punished now.

There was a thud, and a pebble hit the window. The two men guarding the door heard the noise. Ye Lingxi raised his hand and pointed at the window, saying that a shadow had just passed by. He immediately waved to Su Shi to come over quickly. Su Shi Understanding, he immediately walked over. The two men walked cautiously toward the window. Suddenly, their bodies froze. Before they could even scream, they fell to the ground, clutching their throats. They saw two small holes in the window, and two hidden weapons fired with incomparable accuracy. Hit the target. The next moment, the window was pushed open, and two Dragon Shadow Guards jumped in. Their movements were agile and light, making no sound at all when they landed. There were two Dragon Shadow Guards outside to respond.

After the fighting in the building subsided, Lu Yan immediately returned to the room upstairs. There were only the corpses of two of his men inside. Ye Lingxi and Su Shi were gone. He was so angry that he shot the table with a shot, his eyes cold and horrifying. People seem to be eating them alive.

"Find him for me! Even if he digs three feet into the ground, he must find him for me!"

After escaping, Ye Lingxi immediately asked about the situation at Yanfei. The Long Shadow Guards said that General He Guang in Dingcheng was seriously ill. Now the second son He Li took over the city. Two Long Shadow Guards were arrested by this man. Three days later, he would be killed as an assassin. Yan Fei stayed in the city to try to save people, and sent four Long Shadow Guards out of the city to find people.

After the four tracked the carriage, they secretly waited for an opportunity to rescue people. They accidentally discovered that Lu Yan met a man in black while hunting in the woods. He told the man that they would start at midnight, so the four also set the rescue time. At midnight, they first used red pigeons to send a message to Ye Lingxi to prepare. Then when the man in black took action, the two took the opportunity to sneak into the inn, while the other two were outside to help.

Ye Lingxi said that the mastermind behind the scenes was Liu Xin, and Xiuzhou may be under his control now.

"Has your father received any news?" This question is the most critical to the current situation.

Long Yingwei replied: "The emperor has already passed the letter via flying pigeons, and the news will come back within a day or two."

She then asked about the situation at the inn that night, suspecting that the food or tea had been mixed with drugs.

However, Long Yingwei was not drugged that night, but fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain. A group of men in black rushed into the post house. In the chaos, Yan Fei saw a man in black capture Ye Lingxi, and immediately led others to chase him. When he went up and caught up with the opponent, he found that the person who was captured was not Ye Lingxi at all. He just had the same clothes and bun. Moreover, the opponent had already set up an ambush here, waiting for him to lead the Long Shadow Guards out of the encirclement and rush back. There was another fight at the post house. The other party seemed to expect that he would come back and set an ambush in the post house.

Listening to the continuous ambushes and fighting, Ye Lingxi became more and more worried about Yan Fei's safety, and immediately decided to divide the troops into two groups. She guessed that Lu Yan probably thought that the two of them would rush back to the capital, and would definitely send someone to intercept them, and they would use any means to do so. So, she asked Su Shi to go to Yanzhou. Yanzhou and Xiuzhou were far apart. Lu Yan probably wouldn't have thought that people would go there over the distance. The road was safer. The more important reason was that Yanzhou bordered the southern border. If Liu Xin set her sights on her second sister. If there were changes in the southern border, King Jin would be able to prepare early.

In the past few years, Yanzhou has become increasingly prosperous under the rule of King Jin Liu Jin, with strong troops and horses. The other party may not know about Xiuzhou and Dingcheng yet, so you need to remind the other party first to avoid being taken advantage of.

In addition, once Liu Xin knew that the two had escaped, he would definitely attack in advance.

The situation was urgent. Although Ye Lingxi didn't tell her her own plans, Su Shi couldn't delay and went to Yanzhou.
