withered prosperity

The man raised his head after staggering a few times, revealing a red mark between his brows that looked like a drop of blood.

"Where's Yan Hai?" Murong Ji steadied himself, reaching out to grab Yun Ji's clothes.

How could Yun Ji let him catch him, and took a step back, barely avoiding the blood-stained palm.

"Jun Wang?" Yan Hai put on his outer shirt and stood by the door. He was very surprised to see him in such a mess, so he ran a few steps across the curved bridge over the pond.

"Yan Hai!" Murong Ji saw him and immediately wanted to rush over.

But Yun Ji blocked his way like a ghost, and kicked him on the shin, knocking him to the ground on one knee.

Murong Ji has an arrogant temperament, but after being treated like this, he didn't get angry immediately.

In other words, he didn't care about getting angry at all, but stood up immediately.

"Speak as you speak." Yun Ji said coldly: "Don't touch him."

Yan Hai had already walked quickly in front of the two of them.

"Jun Wang, what's the matter?" Yan Hai looked at him in surprise.

Murongji's outer shirt was casually draped over his body without a tie, and even half of the outer coat and inner garment were stained red with blood, his face and hands were also stained with blood, exuding a pungent bloody smell. The look is extremely terrifying, but it somewhat fits his Yama name.

"Someone broke into the jailer at night." He hadn't calmed down yet, his face was so pale that it was scary: "Murong Yu was taken away."

Yan Hai was really taken aback.

He has seen it with his own eyes. Not only is he broken in by someone, but he is also murdered and taken away. The emperor's feet regard the king's law as nothing, not to mention... the one who broke into it tonight is the jailer, so tomorrow he wants to break into it. Into the palace?

"Who is so daring?" He asked: "I see that the county king looks like this, he must have fought a bloody battle, but is there any clue?"

"The incident happened suddenly, without any warning." Murong Ji clenched his fists: "Those people are all dressed in black and masked, so they can't tell their history, but they move forward and backward with a certain degree of restraint, obviously they are not a mob."

Yan Hai glanced at Yun Ji, thinking of the last time he was attacked on the street.

"These people are not only extremely skilled in martial arts, but they are not afraid of pain at all, and they will not flinch even with swords on their bodies." Thinking of his subordinates who had more than half of their casualties, Murong trembled with anger: "If it weren't for this, I would have been a prisoner on duty in the Prison Division." There are seven to eighty people, and there are personal guards from our county's palace, and there are only a dozen or so offenders, how can there be so many casualties."

"Shouldn't you be going to Gyeonggi Guard?" Yun Ji said suddenly, "Why are you here looking for us?"

The Gyeonggi Guards are responsible for the safety inside and outside the capital. It stands to reason that if such a big incident happened to the Prison Division, they should report to the Gyeonggi Guards first, so that they can immediately close the city gates and hunt around.

"Those people took them away without saying a word." Murongji stared at Yan Hai with fixed eyes: "But after I chased me out of the prison secretary, I was stopped halfway, and he handed me a letter Letter, let me hand it to 'Mr. Yan Hai'."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his pocket.

The letter was not sealed, but the opening was stained with blood, obviously Murong Ji had read it first.

The name Yue Cuiwei was written in black on the envelope.

Yan Hai took it and pulled out a piece of letter paper from it.

"Twelve years of separation are unforgettable. When tomorrow night is ugly, I invite you to appreciate the blue waves and express my heartfelt feelings."

There were only these words on the paper, and he read them softly.

"You recognize these people." Murong Ji narrowed his eyes and stared at him fiercely: "Tell me, who are they!"

"I don't recognize it." Yan Hai shook his head, folded the letter and put it back in the envelope.

Murong Ji sneered, and was about to speak when there were messy footsteps outside the open courtyard door.

"Jun Wang!" He Li, who looked equally distressed, appeared by the door, but behind him was a neat row of people.

Those people wore fine armor and long knives, just like Gyeonggi Wei.

Murong Ji took a few steps back, stretched out his hand, and He Li handed the spear he was holding into his hand.

Murong Ji turned his spear, the red tassel on the tip of the gun drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and the tip of the gun pointed directly at Yan Hai's face.

Dozens of guards with bows and arrows suddenly appeared on the wall. They raised their bows and arrows, covering the small courtyard within range.

Jingji Wei brought a lot of torches over, at this time the courtyard was illuminated brightly, and Murong Ji's extremely serious expression was also illuminated.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Yan Hai looked at the battle in front of him, and sighed: "There must be some misunderstanding, I don't know the person who kidnapped the Majesty."

Yun Ji walked to Yan Hai's side, and helped him pull up his slippery coat.

"Maybe you don't know these people, maybe there is a misunderstanding, but after Murong Yu was taken away, someone gave me such a letter. If you want to say that this matter has nothing to do with you, do you think I should believe it?" " Murong Ji said coldly: "You'd better tell me honestly, who is the person who asked you to meet, why did he kidnap Murong Yu, and what is his purpose!"

"If I say I don't know anything, will the county king believe it?"

"letter?"

This word reached Yan Hai's face almost at the same time as the tip of Murong Ji's spear.

With his back turned to him, Yun Ji turned sideways and grabbed the gun.

The gun seemed to be nailed in mid-air, unable to advance half an inch.

Murong Ji suddenly paled.

You must know that although their Murong family is a princely family, their ancestors were military generals, and this set of family-passed marksmanship is rarely rivaled in the Jianghu.He is confident that there are only a handful of people in this world who can block his shot, so he didn't actually aim at Yan Hai's vitals, but just wanted to cripple his arm first.

This foreigner's martial arts must be extremely high, but is it so high?

"Your Majesty, please remain calm." Yan Hai put his hand on the back of Yun Ji's hand.

Yun Ji let go of his hand.

Murong Ji held the spear in his hand, and put the gun back.

But the atmosphere became even more tense.

At this moment, another group of people hurried in from outside.

"Jun Wang, what are you doing?" Yin Yutang walked out from behind the separated Gyeonggi Guards, with a dissatisfied expression on his face: "Why did you come here with a gun and soldiers?"

"Send the letter." Murong Ji's face was green and pale.

"Send..." Yin Yutang choked for a moment, turned his head and scolded: "Fu Bo, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

The person he scolded was a commander of the Gyeonggi Guards. He was about 40 years old and unattractive.

"Report to the lord." The person named Fu Bo replied: "Tonight, the official and Liu Yin are on duty. The Murong County King suddenly sent someone to ask for help, saying that the prison chief was intruding at night, and the princess was kidnapped. Manpower was recruited to block the gates of Sifang City and screen each house, Liu Yin had already arranged in the city at this time, and the subordinate officials brought people here, the reason for this is not clear to the subordinate officials."

Although his official position is not low, but Murong Ji is a first-rank lord, and he is involved in such important matters as the princess being kidnapped, so he dare not neglect him at all.Now that King Cheng suddenly opened his mouth to scold him, obviously he was going to accuse Sang and scold Huai, so he could only accept it respectfully.

"What?" Yin Yutang was dumbfounded: "Xiaoyu was taken away? Someone from the prison department dared to break in?"

He had previously received a report that Murong Ji led someone to break into Yan Hai's residence, got up from the bed and rushed over in a hurry, never thought that there was such a reason behind it.

"The kidnapper left a letter, requesting an interview with this 'Mr. Yan'."

"What letter?" Yin Yutang asked, "Who is it?"

"I don't have a clue about this either." Yan Hai didn't take out the letter again. "But I have nothing to do with the capture of the princess."

"Of course I..."

"My lord, of course what?" Murong Ji slammed his spear on the ground, and even cracked a corner of the green brick under his feet: "I don't believe it today, no matter how good your martial arts are, how could you still be able to defeat a thousand opponents?" Thousands of troops?"

"Junwang." Yin Yutang frowned: "I know you love Xiaoyu, and you must be very anxious at this moment, but you can't be so arrogant. This matter is still open to discussion. Why do you say such cruel words?"

"Prince Cheng! These two are just ordinary people, and now they want to use force to commit murder at the feet of the emperor. Do I still want to..."

Murongji was interrupted by a rush of hoofbeats.

"Report to the king, something was found in the auspicious square in the east of the city. Commander Liu asked the king to rush there as soon as possible." Before the person arrived, the voice came over.

"Your Majesty, I see..."

"Fu Bo, you send someone to show me these two people, not even a fly can fly out!" Murong Ji ignored Yin Yutang at all, he put on his coat and carried the spear on his back, coldly He ordered: "If there is any mistake, I only ask you!"

After speaking, he left the people in this yard, turned around and walked out.
