"Uncle Master, you're back? By the way, where's my husband? "
At noon, Han Yuxi had already prepared the meal, but she didn't see Li Zexuan. After waiting for a long time, Han Yuxi finally saw a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe on the path outside the courtyard. She quickly opened the courtyard door and went out to greet him. However, there was only Xuan Qing outside the courtyard door, and Li Zexuan was nowhere to be seen. So, Han Yuxi asked.
Xuan Qing got off the horse and said lightly, "There's a big case in Chang 'an City. The Crown Prince and the Princess were almost kidnapped. His Majesty ordered the four city gates to be sealed, and Xuan was ordered to lead people to track down the assassin. I'm afraid he won't be back for a while!"
He was the last person to come out of Chang 'an City today. The others in Chang' an City couldn't come out even if they wanted to. After all, not everyone could get Li Er's warrant like Xuan Qing!
"What? The Crown Prince and the Princess were almost kidnapped? "
Han Yuxi was shocked and couldn't help but worry, "Who is so bold to openly harm the Crown Prince and the Princess in Chang 'an City? Uncle Master, are the Crown Prince and the Princess okay? Also, my husband is investigating in Chang 'an City. He shouldn't be in danger, right? "
Seeing the sincere feelings in Han Yuxi's eyes, Xuan Qing couldn't help but nod secretly. He was happy that Li Zexuan had found a wife who was truly in love with him.
"Xuan and I arrived in time, so the Crown Prince and the Princess are safe! As for Xuan's safety, you don't have to worry. The assassin has alerted His Majesty, and the city defense in Chang 'an City will be strengthened. Besides, Xuan's martial arts are now considered to be a small success. It won't be easy for others to hurt him! "
Xuan Qing paused for a moment and said.
Hearing this, Han Yuxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When she was about to speak, she heard the sound of a carriage not far away. Looking over, she saw a carriage slowly coming here. Looking at the sign, it was the carriage of the Li Family!
"Father and Mother are here!"
The carriage came to the gate of the courtyard, and Han Yuxi hurried to greet them. The curtain opened, and a head popped out. It was Lan 'er, followed by Father Li and Madam Li!
"Father, Mother, why are you here?"
Han Yuxi went forward to support Madam Li's arm and asked casually.
Li Zexuan had rushed back to Cloud Mountain last night and didn't have the time to return to the Marquis's residence in Lantian County. Before the morning court session, Li Zexuan had told Han Yuxi that he would bring her back to Lantian County in the afternoon. In the morning, Han Yuxi had also sent a family guard to the Marquis's residence to inform Father and Madam Li that Li Zexuan had already returned to Cloud Mountain and would return to the Marquis's residence in the afternoon!
Han Yuxi did not expect Li Jingmo, Madam Li, and Lan 'er to come directly to Cloud Mountain!
"Hey! Isn't it all because of your mother? Once she heard that Xuan 'er had returned, how could she still be willing to wait bitterly in the manor? She kept urging this old man to quickly pack up and come to Cloud Mountain! "
Hearing Han Yuxi's question, Li Jingmo couldn't help but stroke his beard.
Mrs. Li glared at her husband and said unhappily, "Master, you're still scolding me? Previously, when I heard that Little Xuan had returned to Cloud Mountain, I don't know who was the one who walked around in the study alone and muttered for half a day. If I didn't urge you to come over, I'm afraid our study would have been flattened by you! "
Li Jingmo's face instantly turned red. Then, he became angry from embarrassment and said, "You, you, you …! Women are really unreasonable! I can't be bothered to talk to you! Hmm? Yuxi, this is …? "
Li Jingmo was about to walk towards the side courtyard when he finally noticed Xuan Qing standing at the side. Li Jingmo couldn't help but ask.
Only then did Han Yuxi react and hurriedly introduced, "Father, Mother, this is husband's Martial Uncle. The family guard in the manor should have told you before. This time, Martial Uncle had helped husband a lot in the north! "
Xuan Qing stood up and cupped his hands. "This humble Taoist Xuan Qing from Dragon Tiger Mountain greets Master Li and Madam Li!"
Hearing this, Li Jingmo and Madam Li were shocked. Father Li hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed. "So it's Martial Uncle from the same sect as Little Xuan. Sorry for the disrespect!"
Madam Li also bowed and said respectfully, "Little Xuan was apprenticed to Taoist Priest Spirit Void in the early years. During this period, Taoist Priest Spirit Void has taken great care of Little Xuan. Taoist Priest Xuan Qing, please come in! It's noon. This old woman will personally cook a few good dishes to entertain Taoist Priest! "
Li Jingmo and Madam Li were grateful to Taoist Priest Spirit Void from the bottom of their hearts. If Taoist Priest Spirit Void hadn't brought Li Zexuan back to Dragon Tiger Mountain to recuperate and learn martial arts, Li Zexuan might have died when he was seven or eight years old!
Therefore, after hearing about Xuan Qing's identity, Father Li and Madam Li immediately treated Xuan Qing as the most distinguished guest!
"Both of you are welcome! Little Xuan is your son and my Martial Nephew. It's natural for Martial Uncle to take care of his Martial Nephew! "
Xuan Qing cupped his hands and bowed back. Then he said, "I heard from Little Xuan that Mr. Zhang San and Mr. Mo are injured in Yanhuang College. This humble Taoist will go and take a look first. I won't accompany you for lunch! Please forgive me! "
After that, Xuan Qing cupped his hands again and bowed. Then he turned and walked toward Yanhuang College.
However, his back view looked more or less in a sorry state!
Xuan Qing was obsessed with swordsmanship all his life. The number of people he had met could be counted with two hands. He could practice swordsmanship, but he wasn't good at dealing with others! Therefore, instead of staying to eat with Madam Li and Li Jingmo, he would rather go back to the academy to heal the bearded man and Mo Huai!
"This …!"
Seeing this, Li Jingmo opened his mouth and said in confusion, "Yuxi, Taoist Master Li is …"
Han Yuxi quickly explained, "Father, Martial Uncle must have eaten in Chang 'an City. Moreover, Martial Uncle is also proficient in medical skills. Last night, Mr. Wen Ji was cured by him. Mr. Zhang San and Mr. Mo do need his help. Father and mother, please don't be offended!"
"What? Mr. Wen Ji is well? "
Li Jingmo was shocked. Then he quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't be offended, don't be offended. Celestial Master Taoism has done a great favor for us. Yuxi, you just said that Mr. Wen Ji is well. Is that true? "
Li Gang not only had a high reputation among scholars, but also had a good impression of Li Gang. After hearing the news that Li Gang was seriously ill, Li Jingmo was also very worried. Therefore, when Han Yuxi came to Yunshan to visit Li Gang yesterday, Li Jingmo and Madam Li didn't stop her. Instead, they supported her with both hands.
Han Yuxi smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Old Master has moved back to his own courtyard from Doctor Sun's courtyard today. Father and mother, you don't know. Since Mr. Wen Ji got better last night, Little Anren has been so excited as if it's the New Year. Oh, it should be said that he hasn't been so happy even during the New Year!"
"Haha! Good! Good! "
Li Jingmo stroked his beard and laughed, "After lunch, I'll visit Old Master! Oh, right, where's Xuan 'er? Even if he went to the morning court, he should be back by now, right? "
Han Yuxi's eyes dimmed and she said softly, "My husband may not come back today? Chang 'an City … "
…
Chang 'an City.
The kidnapping incident in Xi City and the subsequent closure of the city gates made the people in Chang 'an City feel a trace of a solemn atmosphere. Then, the imperial army, Supreme Court, and the imperial government's troops all went out to search for people of unknown origin in the streets. This made the people even more frightened. Everyone had a sense of crisis in their hearts. Some old people couldn't help but murmur secretly, "Is the golden age coming to an end? Is the world going to be in chaos again?"
The assassination of the Crown Prince and the Princess in the streets in the capital city was definitely a hidden conspiracy. It meant that someone wanted to go against the imperial court. This made the old people couldn't help but think of the chaotic times in the late Sui Dynasty!
"Marquis, the Military Weapons Bureau, Zongzheng Temple, Zongzheng Temple, and Zongling Temple have all been investigated. No abnormalities have been found. However, I'm afraid that we can't investigate in the imperial city!"
Supreme Court.
Liu Dewei sat high up in the seat of honor. Li Zexuan and Sun Fujia sat on his left and right respectively. As for Dai Zhou, he led the Supreme Court's yamen runners to search for Du E's whereabouts in Chang 'an City. At this time, Chang Ping, the general of the Anshang Gate, came in and reported to Li Zexuan with a bow.
After finding out the hidden danger in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Li Zexuan didn't dare to relax. He listed four secret yamens in the Outer Emperor City that were easy to cause trouble. Then, he ordered Chang Ping to lead the imperial army to investigate. The key was to check if there were dangerous flammable and explosive materials such as sulfur, charcoal powder, fireworks, and gunpowder.
Previously, Chang Ping failed in escorting the criminals. If Li Zexuan hadn't pleaded for him, he would have been beheaded by Li Zexuan. Therefore, he was very grateful to Li Zexuan. He was even more alert and attentive to what Li Zexuan ordered him to do. On the one hand, he wanted to repay Li Zexuan. On the other hand, he wanted to make up for his mistakes. Therefore, the four secret yamens were almost turned upside down by Chang Ping!
Hearing this, Li Zexuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since nothing happened, that's great! As for the Imperial City, you don't have to worry about it! When Supervisor Zhao returns, he will bring people to investigate the Imperial Palace! "
"Yes!"
Chang Ping cupped his fists and answered.
Li Zexuan thought for a while and ordered, "Although An Dezhong and the other two eunuchs were killed, there must be their accomplices among the people they were in contact with. Chang Ping, immediately arrest these people and interrogate them one by one. If necessary, you can use torture! As for the three soldiers who killed An Dezhong and the other two, immediately find out who they have been in contact with recently and where they have been. Arrest all the suspects and bring them to the Supreme Court! Do you understand? "
Chang Ping's face turned serious. He cupped his fists and said, "Yes! This general understands! "
At this time, Sun Fujia could not help but say, "Marquis, criminal investigation and investigation are not General Chang's specialties. This official requests to investigate with General Chang!"
Hearing this, Liu Dewei could not help but nod and said, "What Sun Tingwei said is reasonable. Investigating the spies and eliminating the hidden dangers in the Imperial City is the responsibility of the Supreme Court. I am grateful that Marquis helped me. However, how can the Supreme Court stand by and do nothing? In this case, the Supreme Court has to help no matter what! "
They were not trying to steal the credit. The Supreme Court was already guilty of dereliction of duty for the assassination in Xi City and the "mine burying" incident in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. If they did not do anything to make up for their mistakes, it would be unreasonable!
Li Zexuan nodded and cupped his fists. "As it should be. Then, I will have to trouble Sun Tingwei!"
"Marquis, you are too kind!"
Sun Fujia politely cupped her fists and returned a bow to Li Zexuan. Then, she stood up and left the hall with Chang Ping.
In the blink of an eye, only Li Zexuan and Liu Dewei were left in the hall.
After a few moments of silence, Liu Dewei said, "Marquis is a young hero. He singlehandedly saw through the schemes of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Otherwise, the Imperial Ancestral Temple would have been destroyed by lightning tomorrow, and this old man would have died ten thousand deaths. For this matter, this Liu and the Supreme Court owe Marquis a great favor!"
After saying this, Liu Dewei stood up and clasped his fists to Li Zexuan.
Before Chang Ping had come to report, Li Zexuan had told Liu Dewei and Sun Fujia about Li Junxian's secret letter and what they had experienced in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Firstly, the Supreme Court needed to help solve the case and needed to know some inside information. Secondly, Liu Dewei and Sun Fujia had always been staunch supporters of the Qin King's Faction. They would never collude with the Heavenly Dragon Sect. By telling them, Li Zexuan did not need to worry that they would leak the secret!
"Official Liu's words are too serious. You and I are both His Majesty's subjects. We eat from the sovereign and share the sovereign's burdens. This is what this marquis should do!"
Li Zexuan hastily got up and clasped his fists in return.
