“Zhenyuan Street is in trouble!”
"Quickly put out the fire!"
People shouted in panic, and the screams came closer and louder.
Almost in the blink of an eye, chaos spread from the other end of the street to this end. The whole street was almost boiling, and there was chaos everywhere.
Through the window of the Zhu Lun Car, Nangong Yue could see a red light in the direction of Zhenyuan Street dozens of feet away. The flames were jumping up crazily, and the billowing black smoke was rising, covering the sky and the sun. The sky in the south was dyed a thick black gray. Just looking at it from such a distance, I knew that the fire was probably not small.
Everywhere you look around the Zhu Lun Car, there are people everywhere, coming and going. Most of them are running in the direction of the fire, running to put out the fire, with excited shouts and noisy footsteps, There was also the rapid sound of gongs mixed together.
In his sleep, Xiao Yu seemed to hear the noise outside. He pursed his pink lips and made two uneasy "beeps".
Nangong Yue helped little Xiao Yu adjust his sleeping position, patted him on the back a few times, and the little guy's expression became peaceful again.
"Baihui," Nangong Yue lowered her voice and ordered Baihui, "go ask the guards to help put out the fire, and find out how the water leaked out!"
Soon, the five or six guards outside took the order and left, leaving only the maids, the coachman and two guards accompanying them.
The street they were on was getting more and more chaotic, and there were more and more people, making it almost difficult for Zhu Lunqi to move.
To go back to Bixiaotang, they have to pass through Zhenyuan Street in front of them. If they want to change to another way, they have to turn around. However, the Zhu Lun Car is surrounded by people at the moment. Even if they reluctantly nod their heads, it will be difficult to go against the flow of the crowd. .
What's even worse is that the weather has been dry recently, and the fire ahead is getting stronger and stronger with the help of the cold wind. The smell of smoke comes with the wind, and it inevitably gets into the Zhu Lun Car...
"Ahem..."
Little Xiao Yu coughed twice and woke up. He wrinkled his little face and tilted his mouth. He instinctively wanted to cry loudly, but when his mother's gentle soothing voice floated into his ears, he did not cry in the end. When he came out, his little face was buried in his mother's soft chest with grievance.
At this moment, Haitang's voice sounded from outside the Zhu Lun Car, saying: "Prince Concubine, Mr. Guan is here."
Nangong Yue was startled, and slightly opened a corner of the curtain with her right hand. She saw Guan Jinyun wearing a cyan cloak standing outside the Zhulun Car, making eye contact with Nangong Yue, and looked at each other for a moment.
"Mr. Guan." Nangong Yue nodded slightly to her.
Guan Jinyun then took two steps forward, blessed him respectfully, then pointed to a shop in front and explained: "Prince Concubine, I happened to be looking at pianos in the piano shop in front. I heard that there was a leak, so I came out to have a look. Unexpectedly, I happened to see the Princess’s car…”
As he spoke, another gust of cold wind blew, and the pungent smell of smoke became stronger.
Guan Jinyun frowned and said worriedly: "Prince Concubine, the fire in front is huge, I'm afraid it won't be extinguished for a while. The smoke here is thick, which is not good for children, and the grandson is still young..." As he said, She pointed to an alley in front of her on the right, "I happen to have a small house in Shangyang Lane in front of me. I usually stay there when I take a bath. Why don't the imperial concubine and grandson go to my place and sit for a while first? How do you feel about waiting until the fire is put out before leaving?"
"Ahem..." The little guy coughed twice more, which made Nangong Yue feel distressed.
She lowered her head and looked at the little meat ball with a sad face, and nodded in agreement: "Mr. Guan, then I will be disrespectful."
After that, Guan Jinyun sat next to the driver and helped guide the way. After the Zhulun cart moved forward slowly for seven or eight feet, he turned right in front and entered a small alley. The alley was empty. Although it was narrow, it was No one.
The Zhu Lun Chai turned left again at the end of the alley, and then advanced another fifty feet before stopping in front of a small house.
From this position, you can still see the firelight on Zhenyuan Street. The rising smoke looks darker now, but you can no longer smell the choking smell of smoke, and the surrounding air is slightly cold.
Guan Jinyun got off the carriage first, went up to him and opened the brass lock on the door, and then invited Nangong Yue and the others to enter the house.
This is a small house that you just entered. The courtyard is not big, and there is not enough space to park a carriage. Nangong Yue asked the coachman to wait outside, and got off the carriage. Haitang and Bai Tang, who was holding Xiao Yu, Hui followed closely behind.
"Prince Princess, please!"
Guan Jinyun respectfully invited Nangong Yue and his party to enter the house. There was no one in the house, but it was clean and elegantly decorated.
They went straight into the main room. Guan Jinyun respectfully invited Nangong Yue to sit down on a rose chair and went to make tea. Xiao Yu looked around curiously in Baihui's arms and yawned sleepily.
After a while, Guan Jinyun personally served hot tea.
Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup and used the tea lid to stir the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea soup. She saw the green tea leaves slowly sinking in the bright tea soup, and the fragrance of tea overflowed.
Nangong Yue took a sip of tea and praised with a smile: "Good tea, this fine Mingqian Longjing is hard to find." Then she put down the tea cup and said, "Mr. Guan, please sit down."
The corners of Guan Jinyun's lips were slightly raised, and she responded calmly: "The Crown Princess is so complimentary. I am also asking for the blessing of a friend." As she said that, she sat down on another rose chair beside her and held up a tea cup.
At this moment, there was a burst of messy footsteps outside the house, and a guard with a mustache came panting. He entered the house and reported: "Concubine, the one who just walked away is Feihongju on the other side of Zhenyuan Street. Because it burned into the wine cellar, the fire was extremely violent just now, but fortunately there were no casualties. The fire has been almost extinguished and it should not affect the neighbors..."
The guard's dull voice was like a lullaby to the sleepy little Xiao Yu. The little guy tilted his head and fell asleep deeply in Baihui's arms.
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, then waved away the mustachioed guard.
"Mr. Guan," Nangong Yue looked at Guan Jinyun and said happily, "Fortunately, Feihongju is located in a busy city. The neighbors and passers-by worked together to put out the fire quickly, and finally it did not cause a big disaster..."
As she said that, she seemed to have thought of something, and said seriously: "Speaking of it, the last time Geely Fang was in trouble, it was thanks to my husband that my fifth sister escaped from danger. I have never personally thanked my husband. If there is any negligence, Please forgive me, sir."
Guan Jinyun put down the tea cup and bowed: "Your Majesty, you are too polite, but it is just a small effort. In winter, the weather is dry and things are dry, so we should remind the people to be careful about burning candles."
"Sir, you are right." The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth curved in a slight arc, and the topic suddenly changed, "The weather is dry in winter, and there were five major floods in Luoyue City last year, and the same four or five times the year before last. , mostly happens when the weather is freezing at the beginning and end of the year. Sir, do you know why?"
Guan Jinyun seemed to be stunned, and then respectfully said: "I would also like to ask the Crown Princess for advice."
"There are often three causes of water leakage. One is the copper stove used for heating in winter, which is filled with plant ashes left over from the fire. Once the copper stove is overturned while sleeping, it will easily catch fire; the other is young women. People accidentally knocked over oil lamps in order to catch up on the New Year's needlework at home; the three were caused by fireworks and firecrackers being set off during the Chinese New Year, causing sparks to fly. Therefore, water leakage often occurs on winter nights, but restaurants and restaurants watch. We deal with kerosene every day, but accidents involving water leakage rarely occur." Nangong Yue explained methodically.
Guan Jinyun was thoughtful, stroking his palms and saying: "It turns out that there is such a sect in this, the Crown Princess is really as careful as her hair."
Nangong Yue pursed her lips and continued: "Mr. Guan, in less than a month, there have been floods in the city twice, both on sunny days. Do you think it's too coincidental, sir?" Nangong Yue's tone gradually became sharper, "If you think about it carefully, Mr. Guan and Zuoshui really have an indissoluble bond!"
After the words were spoken, the hall was silent. Nangong Yue had no choice but to directly say that the two fires were caused by someone deliberately setting the fire, and the person who set the fire was Guan Jinyun.
Faced with Nangong Yue's doubts, Guan Jinyun remained calm and gentle, with gentle eyes and even the smile at the corner of his mouth did not change at all.
It turned out to be "her"! Nangong Yue looked at Guan Jinyun deeply, and many scenes flashed through her mind, starting from the appearance of Mr. Guan... until the fire on Zhenyuan Street just now.
Nangong Yue had long guessed that the Baiyue man behind the scenes was secretly peeping near her, planning to take action.
However, since Zhui Yi was robbed, Zhu Xing has strengthened the guards of Bixiaotang several times, so the man behind the scenes never attacked him again after the first assassination failed. This person must be waiting for the right moment, waiting for his vulnerability to be exposed.
Nangong Yue thought about it and felt that it was unlikely that this person would attack her again in the palace or Bixiaotang. For this person, the best "opportunity" is probably to wait until he leaves the palace, and then find ways to lead him to a certain place and mobilize the palace guards to facilitate his attack.
So, when Nangong Yue saw that Zhenyuan Street was flooded "again", she guessed that the person behind the scenes might have finally lost control, but she didn't expect——
The person who came was actually Mr. Guan!
Nangong Yue's eyes flashed, and she looked at Guan Jinyun with a smile, not in a hurry.
Guan Jinyun picked up the white porcelain tea cup, took another sip of tea gracefully, and praised: "Good tea!" She put down the tea cup, looked at the tea cup next to Nangong Yue, and said regretfully, " What a pity for this good tea... The Crown Princess thinks I have poisoned the tea, so she feels scared?"
Guan Jinyun is still gentle, as if he is a kind elder, neither alarmed nor impatient.
Nangong Yue didn't pay attention to the provocation in the other party's words, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "The right thing is, if a gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall, you don't have to bother to provoke the general!" She is not the knight-errant in the storybook, so why bother to do that? The power of a moment!
"It seems that the Crown Princess misunderstood me deeply." Guan Jinyun sighed quietly.
"How could it be? I have always admired my husband's style. He is truly a hero among women." Nangong Yue stroked her sleeves and said with a smile. She looked directly into Guan Jinyun's eyes, with a hint of warmth in her seemingly gentle eyes. Aloof and alienated, he added, "I heard a story recently. This is a rare opportunity, so I might as well tell my husband to hear it."
Regardless of whether Guan Jinyun agreed or not, Nangong Yue spoke unhurriedly: "Decades ago, a saint with extraordinary talents appeared in the Shengtian Sect in Baiyue. This saint At a young age, she was well-read and her strategic skills were far superior to those of other saints. She was favored by the then King of Baiyue and betrothed to the then Crown Prince as the Crown Princess. After the Crown Prince ascended the throne, she naturally became the Queen of Baiyue."
Guan Jinyun was still drinking tea slowly, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
Nangong Yue continued: "As the most noble woman in Baiyue, she should be pampered and pampered, but this queen not only wants to be the woman behind the king, she also has stronger ambitions, hoping that her son will be born in the future. It can be achieved for her. For this reason, she worked hard to cultivate various forces for her son in Baiyue, and laid hidden clues for her son in southern Xinjiang... It is a pity that her two sons are ineffective, and it is in vain. The hard work of their mother for more than ten years."
Nangong Yue looked at Guan Jinyun with a smile and asked deliberately: "Mr. Guan, do you think so?"
Guan Jinyun raised his eyes and stared at Nangong Yue without speaking. The curvature of the corners of her mouth seemed to remain unchanged, but at this moment there was a hint of stiffness, and her eyes were as deep as the sea.
Nangong Yue didn't care about Guan Jinyun's silence. She sighed with a half-smile, and then said: "Mr. Guan, His Highness Carrero has lived in my Zhennan Palace for so long. Sir, he feels that the reception by the Palace is not good, so he Insisting on taking people away? I wonder if His Highness Carrero is okay these days? This concubine is also very concerned about..."
After a pause, she raised her eyebrows, as if she had thought of something, and then said: "I heard that a medicine shop in the city recently treated a patient with bruises all over his body. He looked like a foreigner. Hey, stuck. His Highness Carrero was too careless. He had only been out of sight for a few days, and yet he was so injured! Mr. Guan, I feel that I cannot wrong His Highness Carrero, so I would rather take him back to the palace for medical treatment. It’s better to take care of your body! This will prevent your husband from being alone in the palace, and mother and son to be separated, which will make people feel sad!”
As he spoke, Nangong Yue looked at Haitang, who was a few steps away, and said calmly: "Haitang, do you still remember where the medicine shop is?"
Haitang raised her lips and smiled, blessing her body and replying: "Hui Shiren, I still remember that this is the medicine shop street near this house..."
This time, Guan Jinyun's expression finally changed.
Before Haitang finished speaking, Guan Jinyun stood up suddenly, a silver light flashed in his sleeve, and his right arm wielding a dagger was already approaching Nangong Yue. The eyes staring at Nangong Yue were no longer gentle, but as if they were fierce. Like a wild wolf that has its eyes on prey.
"Zheng!"
With lightning speed, a cyan figure flashed like lightning. Haitang quickly blocked in front of Nangong Yue. The short blade in his hand collided with Guan Jinyun's dagger in mid-air, sparks flying.
At this time, Guan Jinyun seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person, with a temperament as sharp as a knife. She and Haitang looked at each other for a moment, and a sharp light flashed in their eyes.
Haitang smiled slightly and exerted force on the short blade... However, Guan Jinyun stepped back without warning.
When the attack failed, Guan Jinyun made a decisive decision to retreat and ran out of the main room quickly.
"Here comes! There is an assassin!"
As the woman shouted, Guan Jinyun did not stop and ran to the back of the house in a familiar way...
The movement in the house suddenly alerted the two guards guarding the house. They called the Crown Princess and rushed into the courtyard quickly.
Seeing that Nangong Yue was safe and sound, the two guards breathed a sigh of relief, and then chased Guan Jinyun’s back. However, when they chased out the back door, they found that the alley behind the house was already empty... …
The two guards immediately split into two groups and chased each other towards both ends of the alley.
After the two people disappeared, Guan Jinyun jumped down from a big tree, then nimbly turned into a deserted alley, and then ran out of the two streets in one go, even if she was sure Even after he got rid of the people from Zhennan Palace, he couldn't stop.
Guan Jinyun's eyes were cold.
She can't stop. She finally rescued Carrero, but she can't let him fall into the hands of the Zhennan Palace again!
At this moment, Guan Jinyun almost felt regretful.
The main reason why she deliberately chose to exchange hostages outside the city was to mislead the people in the Zhennan Palace, making them think that she would take Carrero away.
The most dangerous place is the safest place. The people in the palace would never think that Carrero was recovering from his injuries right under their noses.
Unexpectedly, her identity would be discovered by Nangong Yue, which suddenly turned the originally brilliant plan into a fool's errand.
She must go to Medicine Street to find Carrero as soon as possible...wait!
Guan Jinyun thought of something and his pupils shrank sharply.
Oops, she fell into a trap!
Guan Jinyun pursed his lips into a straight line. After looking around for half a circle, he suddenly turned around and strode into a lively and noisy restaurant...
Almost the next moment, a ghostly black figure walked out of the alley behind her, touched his nose in distress, and muttered: "It's not good." With that, he also left. Entered that restaurant.
After burning the incense, the young man in black with a depressed face returned to the small house in Shangyang Lane dejectedly, and went to report back to Nangong Yue: "Your Majesty, I have lost you."
Following that, Xiao Ying briefly explained how she lost Guan Jinyun in a restaurant, and finally said with certainty: "However, Princess Concubine, I can be sure that the direction she originally planned to go was definitely It's the area around Medicine Street." In other words, Carrero is hiding in that area!
Nangong Yue is not surprised by this result. It can be seen from Guan Jinyun's actions that she is an extremely smart person. If something had not happened suddenly today, and it was related to Carrero's safety, Guan Jinyun would be confused and confused if he cared about it. , otherwise, she might have discovered that she and Haitang were deceiving her.
They didn't know where Carrero was at all, but they just thought that since Guan Jinyun was in Luoyue City, Carrero was most likely in the city as well, and in order to take care of him conveniently, his location would not be far away. Too far.
It happened that Yaoxing Street was not far from Zhennan Palace and this small house, so Nangong Yue and Haitang tried to defraud Guan Jinyun.
The results were unexpectedly good!
"Zhu Xing," Nangong Yue looked at Zhu Xing who came to the side after hearing the news, and ordered, "immediately lead the guards and patrol guards to blockade the entire Medicine Street area and search for Carrero's whereabouts!"
"Yes, Crown Princess!" Zhu Xing accepted the order with his fists clasped, his brows furrowed.
When he learned that Guan Jinyun was the mysterious Baiyue man, his face didn't look good. Just thinking about letting such a dangerous person hang around the concubine and grandson for so long under his nose, Zhu Xing wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
At this point, he can only atone for his sins and take down Carrero first!
Zhu Xing left in a hurry with a group of people.
Next, after Feihongju was compromised, there was another commotion in the city.
Nearly a hundred royal guards and city guards marched out in a mighty manner, sealing off the area of Medicine Street with lightning speed. The medicine dealers, patients, passers-by, etc. were all caught by this sudden formation. The war made me feel anxious.
In the past two years, every time the palace guards and city guards were dispatched together, it was basically to catch the **** Southern Barbarian spies. Many people cursed those ambitious Southern Barbarians with righteous indignation, and the whole street All boiling.
Under the command of the patrolling guards, the passers-by quickly formed several long winding queues. After being searched and inspected by the patrolling guards, they left one by one.
In just half an hour, the medicine shop street became a lot emptier after the crowds had dispersed. At first glance, the deserted street looked a little desolate.
At the same time, the palace guards were divided into several teams and were searching all the pharmacies and medical clinics along the street, one, two, three...
I don’t know how long it took, but a tall guard suddenly rushed out of a drug store and hurried to Zhu Xing at the intersection, shouting: "Butler Zhu, we’ve caught someone!"
