Chapter 321
When a ray of sunlight hit the Chu River in the early morning, because the city gate was hastily blocked at night, the people who wanted to go out or enter the city had to be blocked outside the city gate. The officers and soldiers complained: "It has been many years since the city was closed. What are you doing in this peaceful and prosperous world?"

"That's right, this is the tea leaves after the rain will be sent to Lincheng. We've been counting on this spring tea business for a year."

Many people here are complaining, if there are only one or two people, the officers and soldiers guarding the city can handle it. Seeing so many people gathered here, the officers and soldiers have embarrassment on their faces.

After all, the end of spring is the best time to sell spring tea and pear blossoms from Chujiang. Many people want to trade tea and wine outside the city tower, and merchants from outside also come to Chujiang to buy them. Well, I don't know how many people's livelihoods have been missed by this city gate.

The people clamored and surrounded the entire city tower, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city who were afraid of arousing public anger could only comfort them.

Just when the two sides were stalemate, they saw dust flying on the official road, and the sound of "da da" horseshoes approaching from far to near. A group of men and horses were wearing black armor of the same color, wearing masks and looking cold under the sun. The useless city guards and soldiers, these people carried a murderous air in every move they made.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city naturally knew them, they were soldiers from Chu Lingong's mansion.

As he gradually approached, the masked man at the head saw so many people gathered at the gate of the tower, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he swung his whip. No one knew how he made the move, but he saw the leader making trouble in front The body of the most vicious peddler was separated in an instant, and blood splashed all over the person next to him.

The people at the gate of the city tower were stunned by the bloody scene. The masked man was riding on a big horse, looking down at the people who were carrying burdens or supporting their children. His haughty eyes As if looking at a group of ants, he slowly said: "The prince ordered the city to be closed, if anyone dares to disobey him, he will end up just like him."

The bloody long whip pointed at the corpse of the young man who had killed chickens and monkeys in the ground, and said to the group of people, those people were obviously shocked by his cruel methods, and subconsciously retreated a few steps, for fear of walking late It will be the same fate as that person.

In the chaos, only a young woman's shrill voice was heard: "The head of the house..."

The young woman was obviously husband and wife with the peddler on the ground. After recovering from the sudden accident, she saw her husband's body separated in an instant. In great grief, she wanted to rush forward to fight the officer and soldier who did it, and shouted : "I fought with you..."

Several neighbors who knew him quickly stopped him, and an older man persuaded him, "Sister-in-law Niu, we can't afford to mess with this official, think about your little brat..."

The people in Chu Lingong's mansion, even the officers and soldiers guarding the city, have to give way. After all, the Chu River seems to belong to the imperial court, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Wanyi protected the safety of the entire Chujiang people in the troubled times. Even though Chu Wanyi did not intend to become a king on his own, the status of the Chu family in the hearts of the Chujiang people and the power hovering over the Chujiang could not be shaken by the court.

The general guarding the city waved his hands and asked people to drag away the corpses of the unfortunate woman and the man on the ground, and flatteringly said to the officer and soldier who had just started to know how to wear a mask: "Commander Liu, why did you come in person today?"

Commander Liu glanced at the city guard with eagle eyes under his mask, and said calmly, "Your Majesty ordered the city to be closed to worry about your inconvenience, so I and Tieweiying have been sitting here for the past few days."

After being glanced at by Commander Liu's cold gaze, the city guard wiped the sweat from his forehead, so he couldn't say anything wrong.

The city guard knew that the old Hou Ye was not in good health these years, the eldest son died young, and the second son was not interested in official affairs, most of the things were taken care of by the young master.

Logically speaking, although Chu Qing, the eldest son of the Chu family, died young, his younger brother Chu Chi had already grown up, so he should ask the emperor for the title of Chu Chi as his son. To put it bluntly, what if there is an emergency?
But what I didn't expect was that I don't know whether the emperor forgot, or the old Hou Ye was still unwilling to ask for the title. The position of the son has not been determined all these years.After the son became an adult, everyone saw his talent and ability to govern, and thought that the old Hou Ye wanted to entrust the son's position to the son.

But I didn't expect that it would still drag on year after year.

Now the young master—more precisely, the prince hastily ordered the closure of the city, and the people in the iron guard camp under the young prince have all changed their names to the prince. Obviously, this will not happen suddenly. It seems that the sky in Chujiang—is about to change.

In the other building at this time, Xiao Que had a rare look of tiredness on his face. Last night, he followed the clues found by the hidden guards to find Chu Lingong. When everyone found the hiding place, Chu Lingong Already transferred by Chu Qianyin, the dark guard and them have been busy all night in vain.

Back in the annex, all the servants brought breakfast. They were tired after a whole night's work, but the three of them had no appetite.

Seeing that there are only two days left, if Chu Linggong is no longer found, Xiao Que will definitely be controlled by others at the banquet on that day.

According to Chu Qianyin's ability, it is naturally impossible to turn them around. Xiao Que was not sure before, but now he can be sure that Chu Lingong's disappearance must have been done by that person again.

While thinking like this, Wuhen walked in quickly from the outside, with a solemn expression: "Chu Qianyin ordered someone to seal the city gate last night." Suddenly hearing the news of Wuhen, Liu Qingyan and Xie Yizhi couldn't help but be surprised. They looked at each other.Once the gates of the city are blocked, news from inside cannot be transmitted, and news from outside cannot be transmitted in. Is Chu Qianyin trying to isolate them from the outside world?
If this is the case, their position in Chujiang is even more passive.

However, the expression on Xiao Que's face did not change, and he pinched the cup in his hand and said lightly: "That's fine." In this way, it can avoid disturbing people and others, and if anything happens in Chujiang, it will not be reported. out.

Seeing the indifferent expression on Xiao Que's face, Xie Yizhi thought of those dark guards under Xiao Que who were highly skilled in martial arts, and they were surreptitious all day long to investigate the news. What about the blocked tower?If Xiao Que really dispatched someone, he would not be restrained by Chu Qianyin's arrangements.

Secondly - once the city tower is sealed off, Fu Yunshu can't leave either.

While thinking like this, the solemn look on Wuhen's face did not ease a bit, and he did not dare to look at Xiao Que's face and said falteringly: "The dark guards have found out that Pei's Bieyuan has been emptied, and the second master yesterday Went out of town at night..."

After hearing Wuhen's words, Xiao Que was only taken aback for a moment, and then said: "It's fine if you leave." At least she won't be involved in any disputes.

Xiao Que lowered his eyes, no joy or anger could be seen on his face, and ordered: "No matter what, we must find out the whereabouts of Chu Lingong within two days." Seeing Xiao Que's order, Wuhen quickly took the order and left. Xiao Que seemed to be thinking of something, and asked Liu Qingyan: "How is Second Master Chu's injury?"

Here Liu Qingyan was surprised at why Fu Yunshu suddenly changed his itinerary, and frowned, maybe the spies of Yaowanggu got the wrong information?It might as well be that Xiao Que suddenly asked about Chu Chi, and said: "Second Master Chu hit his head when he rolled down the cliff, and now he is in a coma and there is no danger of his life, but the wife and child who went into the mountain with him have already died in the wolf's belly. I was afraid that he would not be able to bear the shock when he woke up, so I took medicine to keep him asleep for the past few days."

Xiao Que nodded slightly, and said: "You take good care of him these two days, and I have something to ask him in the evening."

Seeing Xiao Que's sullen expression here, Xiao Que didn't say much and he didn't want to ask too much. Xie Yizhi was busy in and out these days, and he didn't know exactly what Xiao Que told him to do.Seeing that there was nothing to do here, Xie Yizhi then left.

Xie Yizhi lifted his foot to leave, Liu Qingyan didn't want to stay here to face Xiao Que's cold face, followed Xie Yizhi, and after the two left, the cup in Xiao Que's hand was crushed into powder.

Just left like this, didn't even give him a chance to stay...

While leaving with Xie Yizhi, Liu Qingyan frowned and pondered, "Hiss...Xiao Que said that Chu Qianyin would choose to do it on March 27 because that day was Chu Qing's death day, but why do I feel that things are not that simple..."

Seeing Liu Qingyan's puzzled expression, Xie Yizhi laughed in a low voice, and said, "What is the meaning of it, don't you know when March 27 arrives..."

March 27, not far away...

"Second Master, the city tower has been sealed off and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Our people are not allowed to enter the city, and they can't even pass on news!" In the tea shop, Ziying looked at Pei Zhengkai's stern expression, and reported in a low voice. The situation in the city.

Pei Zhengkai slapped the table fiercely, carrying the strength of his anger, the table was almost torn apart by him, and Yun Niang on the side was worried that she hadn't slept all night, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help worrying after hearing Ziying's words Said: "I can't even deliver the news, and I can't ask the young master for help. Is there something wrong with the lady..."

Pei Zhengkai almost crushed the blood book in his hand. Why didn't he hold his breath at this moment? If he wasn't too determined to arrange a green shadow beside Fu Yunshu to protect her safety, if he didn't think about being in the other garden of Pei's house Fu Yunshu's safety will never be a problem, how could Pei Zhengkai get Fu Yunshu out of the closely guarded annex in a fit of impatience, and reject Xiao Que's offer to arrange secret guards around Fu Yunshu.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yunshu would have an accident after leaving the house for less than an hour.That night Fu Yunshu said he was going to meet a good friend, and Pei Zhengkai felt a little uneasy when he didn't come back. He was about to send someone to look for it, but he never thought that a sharp arrow would fly over, and the bloody book on it was extremely glaring.The cloth strip on which the blood letter was written was written on fine light green silk, and Yunniang recognized that this light green dress was what Fu Yunshu was wearing before going out.

Quickly unfold the blood book, to the effect that Fu Yunshu is in their hands, if you want Fu Yunshu to be safe, don't alarm anyone, let alone contact Xiao Que, let them leave Chujiang as originally planned.With Fu Yunshu in their hands, it can naturally guarantee her safety.

Although receiving the blood book in the middle of the night was enough to disturb people's minds, Pei Zhengkai did not lose his composure and asked Ziying to try to contact Qingying.Qingying was not contacted.

The shadow guards he cultivated naturally have their own contact methods. Although Qingying disappeared for no reason, Qingying was one of the most outstanding shadow guards he trained, and he had already left a secret signal when he noticed something was wrong.

Pei Zhengkai was very anxious, and after Qingying disappeared, he was sure that Fu Yunshu had fallen into their hands.Not knowing who the opponent was, Pei Zhengkai's first thought was to ask Xiao Que for help, but the other party clearly stated in the letter that he was not allowed to contact Xiao Que, so he did not dare to act rashly and bet on Fu Yunshu's safety.

Therefore, Pei Zhengkai could only ask people to find someone by following the clues left by Qingying.

Half of the clues left by Qingying were cut off out of thin air, and a bloody earring appeared out of thin air when he found the edge of Lanxi.Their actions turned out to be under their surveillance...

The shadow guards brought back the bloody earring, and Yunniang recognized it immediately.That bloody earring was exactly the earring that went out with Fu Yunshu!
