The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 343 Tell him to roll back

The heavy rain was pouring down, and the lights in the study of Dingguohou's Mansion were extremely faint in the night.The people in the mansion looked at the light very clearly. For Huo Xun, the owner of the Hou Mansion, this was another sleepless night.

Huo Xun went through all the clues about Xiao Ruan, the gully between the two sword eyebrows became deeper and deeper, he didn't care that there was lightning and thunder outside the house.

"General, it's four o'clock now, and you have to go to court tomorrow, why don't you rest for a while?"

Li Yan brought hot tea into the room, saw that the candles on the table were about to burn out, so he couldn't help but persuade him.

Huo Xun glanced at the tea he poured and didn't speak. Seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help but sighed again: "This Zhao Yan is already dead, how come there is no news about Madam? King Xia Jun said he didn't see Madam, could it be Madame has already escaped from Zhao Yan?"

"If she escaped from Zhao Yan, how could she not contact us?"

Hearing Li Yan's voice, Huo Xun's eyes sank again.

Neither Beijing nor the three provinces in Yunzhong where King Xia is located have found any clues about Xiao Ruan. She just disappeared from the world just like Zhao Yan back then, and suddenly disappeared.

"Perhaps Madam is on the way back from the land in the clouds, but the journey is far away and it will take some time."

The atmosphere in the room was too depressing, Li Yan wanted to say something, but he didn't even believe it when he said it.However, just when he felt very embarrassed, Huo Xun suddenly raised his head: "What did you say?"

"Subordinates..."

"Say what you just said again!"

Huo Xun's voice was hurried, and his eyes were fixed on Li Yan, as if he had indeed said some important clues just now.

Li Yan rubbed his head in a daze, and then hesitantly repeated what he said just now: "My subordinate just said that maybe Madam is on the way back from the Land of Clouds..."

"Yes! That's it."

Huo Xun hastily picked up the map on the table and read it again, then suddenly raised his head as if he had discovered something: "Get ready for the general immediately! I'm going to see the emperor!"

Li Yan couldn't figure out what Huo Xun had discovered. Seeing him, he was about to get up and leave. He couldn't help reminding: "General, it's still not dawn and it's still raining heavily outside. You, if you go to see the emperor now, won't you disturb the Holy Majesty... ..."

Hearing this, Huo Xun paused, turned his head and glanced at Li Yan, still left this sentence and rushed into the wind and rain.

Huo Xun rushed to the palace in the rain, but the two eunuchs in Ou Guan said that the emperor didn't sleep well at night during this time, if there is nothing important, don't hesitate to pass it on to him.

In desperation, Huo Xun had no choice but to change his way and go straight to the Prince's Mansion.

After Zhao Yan's case was settled, the government became clearer, and the law and order in Beijing became much more stable.The prince has been busy with clearing up the remnants of Zhao Yan's party these days, and he hasn't had a good rest for many days. He managed to sleep soundly last night. Unexpectedly, before the rooster crowed, he got a message from his servants, saying that Huo Xun was eager to see him.

Yawning and walking into the living room, the prince saw Huo Xun waiting there with a serious expression on his face, he couldn't help but wonder: "General Huo came to see me in such a hurry, could it be that there is something important?"

"Your Majesty has something important to do."

Huo Xun didn't care about etiquette, and directly took out a map that he had marked from his arms: "His Royal Highness, I found that there seems to be something wrong with the case of King Huai. This matter is related to the life of my wife. Look for Ruan'er in the middle of the land!"

Hearing that there was something hidden in the case of Duke Huai, the prince's sleepiness completely dissipated: "The case of Zhao Yan is over, why do you think there is something inside? Could it be that you have discovered something new?"

"Prince, please look at the map. Our people are all around the capital. People are chasing Zhao Yan's news. Except for the north, there are no other clues. King Xia said that the people he sent out caught King Huai. Could it be that Don't you find it strange?"

The prince held the map in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, seeing that Huo Xun had blown up the map and marked it densely, he couldn't help but said: "The king of Xia Jun is holding Zhao Yan's head this time, it is possible that you doubt this There are also fakes?"

"I don't suspect that the Nanjun King is a fraud, but I think it's strange that the Xiajun King is in the cloud. When he got the news of Zhao Yan's rebellion, he sent troops to the north to encircle and suppress. The time is too tight, and it is impossible to find Zhao Yan before us. So. I thought that Zhao Yanji might have gone straight to Mengcheng after leaving the capital, and never went to Beijiang at all!"

Huo Xun shook his head and walked forward, stretched out his hand and pointed on the map, the prince's eyes showed doubts unconsciously.

After Zhao Yan escaped from the south gate, they were found in other places except for a few clues in the north.

Because of the relationship between Huo Yuan and Huo Yixuan, the prince and others all guessed that they were going to escape to North Jiang country this time, but they searched along the way and quickly lost the clue.

It wasn't until King Xia sent the news that they knew that the people sent by King Xia not only found Zhao Yan, but also killed him on the spot.

"If you calculate it in terms of time, it's really strange that the emperor found Zhao Yan earlier than us. But the emperor was loyal to his father, and he was highly valued by the emperor when he was young. Maybe it's just such a coincidence. Are they better at finding people than ours?"

The prince frowned and thought for a moment. Apart from feeling a little nervous about time, he didn't feel any doubts about it: "No matter where the emperor caught Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan is dead now. It doesn't make sense..."

"Why is it meaningless? Ruan'er was kidnapped by Zhao Yan. If she is taken to Mengcheng, I will go to the cloud to find Ruan'er myself!"

The prince just said that casually, but Huo Xun suddenly became very excited.Only then did he realize that the other party came today not to discuss Zhao Yan's matter with him, but to ask himself to go to Mengcheng to find Xiao Ruan.

"Ah Xun, there is no news from Ruan'er. I know you are very anxious, but how can you confirm that she is in Mengcheng just by guessing? Now the father has sent people to search across the country. If there is news, don't you Want to return without success?"

The prince's eyes were full of sympathy.

He couldn't understand how deep the relationship between Huo Xun and Xiao Ruan was.Now Xiao Ruan has been missing for a full month, and no one knows what will happen to Xiao Ruan during this month, even...whether he is still alive is a problem.

However, understanding is understanding, sympathy is sympathy, and there are many things that the prince needs Huo Xun to do. If he just leaves like this, he does not agree with him intellectually.

Huo Xun expected early in the morning that the prince would refuse, so he wanted to meet the emperor at first.

During this period of time, although Huo Xun was recovering from his injuries in Beijing, his heart was all tied to Xiao Ruan, and even his sleep and dreams were all Xiao Ruan's nightmares of various accidents.

"Your Highness's words are reasonable, but I really miss Ruan'er in my heart. I beg Your Highness to allow me to go to Mengcheng immediately!"

Tightening the corners of his lips, Huo Xun saluted the prince respectfully and resolutely again, as if the prince would leave if he refused.

"you……"

The crown prince had no choice but to sigh: "After the accident of Zhao Yan's party, there are a lot of vacancies in the court, and the palace still needs you to help me select officials. If you really believe that Xiao Ruan is in Mengcheng, I will send some people to investigate first. It’s not too late to go if there is news, isn’t it?”

The crown prince is now at the time of employment, if Huo Xun leaves suddenly, his previous plan to completely cut off Zhao Yanyu's party will also run aground, so he really does not want Huo Xun to leave now.

Huo Xun was silent, the crown prince was worried that Huo Xun would not agree, he paused and said: "Ah Xun, you have known me for many years, now is the time when I need you, you really have to because of some uncertain news Just leave me?"

Huo Xun frowned deeply, hesitating in his heart.

Li Yan's words made him suddenly understand why Xiao Ruan could not be found, and Dang even decided to go to the cloud to look for it.

As a courtier, the word "loyalty" always needs to be in the first place, without the emperor's permission, it would be inappropriate to leave the matter directly and leave.But Xiao Ruan's life and death are unpredictable now, if he misses the rescue time because of his hesitation, he will live in regret for the rest of his life.

"minister……"

The sound of the rain outside the house had gradually diminished at some point. Facing the prince's expectant eyes, Huo Xun's face flashed with determination, and he was about to speak when the prince's attendant suddenly walked in from outside.

"Your Highness, morning time is almost here."

Hearing the attendant's voice, the prince immediately stood up and went to Huo Xun and patted him on the shoulder: "Ah Xun, you go up to court with me, I will discuss this matter after I send someone to search for it in the cloud." .”

Before Huo Xun could say anything, the prince directly made a decision. Seeing the prince froze and left first, Huo Xun's eyes flickered for a moment, and finally followed...

The torrential rain continued intermittently for seven days and seven nights. The central capital was flooded, and court officials temporarily stopped going to court. When the rain subsided in the capital, the crown prince received a letter from the Dingguo Houfu.

"That's unreasonable! Where is your general now! Tell him to get out of here immediately!"

The prince read the contents of the letter again, and was immediately furious.

Due to the flood in central Beijing, the prince has not been out in the past few days, nor has he contacted Huo Xun.And Huo Xun directly stated in the letter that he would rather be punished and go to the cloud to find Xiao Ruan.

The final signing time was precisely the day Huo Xun came to look for him early in the morning three days ago.

The person who sent the letter didn't know what happened, but was yelled at by the crown prince, his body shook suddenly, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Back, back to the prince, my general only said to send the letter to the servant, but he didn't tell the servant his whereabouts..."

"Okay, okay! How dare he treat this hall like this, I'm mistaken!"

The prince realized that Huo Xun had premeditatedly asked to leave, and angrily slapped the envelope on the table. The sudden loud noise startled Lu Heng who was about to come in.

It was rare for Lu Heng to see the prince get angry, so when he took the envelope and looked at it, he immediately understood.

Raising his hand to let the messenger boy leave, Lu Heng immediately stepped forward and gently patted the prince's chest.
