Chapter 53(1/2)
The ancients said: Apart from each other will not be separated from each other.
This principle has probably been seen by many people, or even experienced by themselves.
But for most people, even if they have experienced it personally, the most serious result is to lose a friend and estrange themselves from a relative and friend.
But for Hu Xiaolin, it is obviously not such a simple result.
After all, what he had to face was the ruler of this dynasty - the emperor.
If he offended the princess Zhu Jinxuan, it would be equivalent to offending the emperor. At that time, even if he had the credit for inviting the princess back to the palace, it would probably not be able to offset the suspicion brought by the princess' resentment and constantly slandering in the emperor's ears. Over time, let alone his contribution that cannot be easily shown to others, even the great contribution will be worn by water and stone.
This is a huge number of examples recorded in thousands of years of history books.
However, even though he knew that he would not have had a better ending by forcibly bringing Zhu Jinxuan back to the capital at this time, Hu Xiaolin still wanted to take Zhu Jinxuan back.
The two powers are the least likely to be injured.
Compared with the tragic consequences of failing to complete the task, he was even more worried about his family, and even causing trouble to his family, what he was worried about at this time was too long. Moreover, the result he was worried about was at most involved with him. No matter how he looked at it, he would take Zhu Jinxuan back to the capital first, and completing the task was more cost-effective.
Hu Xiaolin planned to take Zhu Jinxuan away. After hearing Zhu Jinxuan's wishes, Bai Shier naturally would not let him successfully take Zhu Jinxuan away so easily.
So the two sides who had once had a good relationship became tense in an instant.
"Brother Hu, don't make me embarrassed."
Before Hu Xiaolin could speak, Bai Shier opened his mouth first, and said something in his heart very treacherously, making Hu Xiaolin feel uncomfortable at this moment and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Brother Bai, my duty is my best. I would like to advise you to get out of here as soon as possible."
After a moment of silence, Hu Xiaolin finally put a few more words into his heart.
"Walk."
But Hu Xiaolin was focusing on thinking about the words, but did not notice that Bai Shier, who blocked Zhu Jinxuan, had actually put his hand behind him and was signaling Zhu Jinxuan to escape through the window.
After Hu Xiaolin responded, Bai Shier immediately let out a low voice, and the hand behind him was also spread out a hidden weapon with this low voice.
"careful."
Hu Xiaolin looked at the hidden weapon flying towards him and immediately warned him loudly. However, his warning was obviously a bit redundant. As the great guards who had worked with Bai Shier for so long before, how could he not know about Bai Shier's hidden weapon skills?
Hu Xiaolin and his men either dodge or use weapons to resist, and finally blocked many hidden weapons shot by Bai Shier. They only care about dodging and resisting hidden weapons. They looked like they didn't care much about Zhu Jinxuan, who seemed to be about to jump out of the window and escape.
“There is an ambush outside the window.”
Soon, Zhu Jinxuan, who had returned to Bai Shier from the window, spoke up and told Bai Shier why Hu Xiaolin turned a blind eye to Zhu Jinxuan's actions.
These guys are really prepared.
Bai Shier had some toothache.
But naturally he would not let Zhu Jinxuan surrender just now.
"Follow me."
Bai Shier said, and took Zhu Jinxuan's hand and jumped onto the roof.
The long sword that Zhu Jinxuan used to offset his credit was already held in his hand by him. With the sound of the tiles breaking, he broke a big hole in the roof.
"Walk."
Pushing Zhu Jinxuan onto the roof, Bai Shier took out a hidden weapon and sprinkled it on the side of the situation. Seeing that something was wrong, Hu Xiaolin and others immediately ran to try to jump onto the roof to stop them. Then, he didn't look down and jumped out of the hole that could only allow one person to enter and exit, and galloped towards the direction where Zhu Jinxuan left.
“Go outside.”
Looking at several subordinates who were unfortunately shot by hidden weapons because of their urgent pursuit, and those who were still rushing to get out of the hole on the roof, Hu Xiaolin couldn't help but turn dark and couldn't help but give loud instructions.
After hearing Hu Xiaolin's orders, the big guards who were still rushing to get out of the cave entrance only realized.
Yes, why did I go here to chase the roof through this cave entrance that can only allow one person to enter and exit? It is obvious that if you just walk a few steps first, you can go up the roof from outside.
When the people in the room were still embarrassed and regretting that their heads had not turned around, the big guards who had been guarding outside the room, mainly by the window to prevent Zhu Jinxuan and Bai Shier from jumping into the window, heard the loud noise and saw Zhu Jinxuan and Bai Shier running away along the roof, they first reacted, and also jumped onto the roof, chasing them with anxiety.
Of course, they couldn't help but complain about the companions in the house. Why did so many people block people in the room and Bai Shier found an opportunity to escape from the roof.
...
hiss!
After Hu Xiaolin and others entered the Jinyiwei's stronghold, they had been hiding outside. Ye Bi, who was waiting for the result, couldn't help but take a breath after seeing Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan who broke the roof and fled to the distance.
Even though he had this bold guess in his heart, when he really saw this guess become reality and appear in front of him, Ye Bi still couldn't help but tighten his whole body.
At the same time, deep in his heart, he couldn't help but admire Shi Shi 120,000.
Although I was a famous thief at the time and was called a thief, what I stole at that time were just valuable gadgets from the homes of nobles and high officials.
Now look at Bai Shier, he actually stole a living person, and he was the emperor's real sister and a dignified royal princess. This is the real thief.
However, after sighing in his heart, another question that made him feel very nervous appeared in his heart.
If Bai Shier was arrested and confessed that he helped Bai Shier cover up his whereabouts, and even directly provided Bai Shier with news about Hu Xiaolin's movements, would he be implicated?!
Ye Bi jumped onto the roof as if he was crazy and chased towards Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan. Hu Xiaolin and his group, who did not care about the influence at all, couldn't help but become stronger and stronger.
If this is true, wouldn’t the way I just led Hu Xiaolin and his group here to tie themselves up?
While Ye Bi was thinking nervously in his heart, he began to regret what he had done just now.
'Then should I help Bai Shier again and help Bai Shier escape the pursuit. As long as Bai Shier is not caught, will I be safe?'
‘No, no, these people just found Bai Shi Er and Princess by following me. If Bai Shi Er and Princess really escaped from the pursuit, wouldn’t these people come to me directly?’
Immediately afterwards, two completely opposite thoughts emerged in his mind, but it seemed that no matter which thought it was, in his opinion, it would eventually lead to the result that was unfavorable to him.
"Yes, don't get involved in such a destined unlucky thing, the farther you run, the better."
Ye Bi, who thought that no matter what kind of result, could not escape the bad luck in the end, quickly shook his head, threw the past two years out of his mind, and thought of the most "wise" solution.
Thirty-six strategies are the best!
...
"The most important thing for us now is to collect information from Tianyan Sect and cooperate with General Hou to eliminate Tianyan Sect as soon as possible and to restore peace to the world. This is Mu Yixing's matter. Since the Jinyiwei has intervened and has been deeply involved, it is better to leave it to them to deal with it. If we intervene rashly, it may lead to dissatisfaction from the Jinyiwei."
When he heard Ye Bi's suggestion to leave Quanzhou Prefecture City immediately and go to the surrounding prefectures to inquire about the whereabouts of Mu Yixing, who had escaped, Peng Zhenlei was a little moved, but eventually shook his head and persuaded Ye Bi not to meddle in other people's business.
But how could Ye Bi, who had impure motives, be persuaded by Peng Zhenlei so simply?
"My Chief Peng, things are not as simple as you think. Although the Jinyiwei occupied that batch of treasures and wanted to send the batch of treasures back to heaven, don't forget that we discovered that we had guarded all night and stopped Mu Yixing's subordinates from snatching back the treasures. Do you think that even if we let go, Mu Yixing will let us go and not take revenge on us?"
In order to be able to leave Quanzhou Prefecture as soon as possible and avoid the guys Bai Shier and Hu Xiaolin, who would definitely cause trouble for him, Ye Bi had already thought of a whole set of convincing rhetoric.
"Tao Peng, I think this thief is right this time."
Ye Bi's arguments are indeed very convincing. Even Tie Wenbin, who has been unfavorable to him, stood on Ye Bi's side this time.
"And we found that batch of treasures, and we were also the ones who defended that batch of treasures under the siege of the enemy. The Jinyiwei was good. As soon as we came, we took up the big head of the credit and sent us only a few hundred taels of silver and a little bit of credit. This time, if we found Mu Yixing's traces in front of them, and even caught Mu Yixing, I would like to see what else the Jinyiwei could say."
However, the more important reason why Tie Wenbin stood on Ye Bi's side was that he was dissatisfied with the Jinyiwei's approach and wanted to make great contributions to the Jinyiwei's signs of separation.
"I also think those Jinyiwei did too much!"
Tie Wenlan, who rarely spoke, spoke rare this time. Of course, she was standing on her brother's side.
Peng Zhenlei was unwilling to have conflicts with the Jinyiwei, but it was obvious that others did not think so.
"We've all left, what should I do if Wen Tailai?"
Seeing that the other three people felt that they wanted to leave Quanzhou Prefecture and go to the surrounding prefectures to inquire about Mu Yixing, although Peng Zhenlei was half a level higher in official rank, he was not able to directly reject it with orders, so he had no choice but to throw Wen Tailai out as a shield.
...
"Haha, don't worry, you only need to send me to the Jinyiwei later. The Jinyiwei has achieved such a great contribution from us this time. Is it a shame to even take care of me, a injured peer, who is so injured?"
It’s a pity that even Wen Tailai, who was used as a shield by Peng Zhenlei, also "reversed".
After the four of them found Wen Tailai to explain the situation, Wen Tailai also stood on the side of Ye Bi and the other two.
"If the Six Doors are implicated by the next person and lost the opportunity to make great contributions, then wouldn't they be the sinner of Six Doors?"
Moreover, the reasons given by Wen Tailai were very high-sounding, and even Peng Zhenlei could not refute it. Wen Tailai even blocked Peng Zhenlei's retreat.
After all, even Wen Tailai, a "suspended captain" who has not yet officially joined the Six Gates, can consider the gains and losses from the perspective of the entire Six Gates. Peng Zhenlei, a captain with an official rank of only half a level lower than the general captain, would be a bit unreasonable if he abandoned the overall interests of the Six Gates because he was unwilling to have conflicts with the Jinyiwei.
In desperation, Peng Zhenlei had to leave Quanzhou Prefecture City with Ye Bi and the other two immediately and go to the surrounding prefectures to investigate Mu Yixing's whereabouts.
...
Naturally, Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan didn't know that because of their reasons, Ye Bi would have a big idea and then bewitched the others hurriedly left Quanzhou Prefecture City to investigate Mu Yixing's whereabouts. At this time, they were still avoiding Hu Xiaolin and his group of people's followers.
The Jinyiwei, who had his own house demolished and the roof was stepped on by a large group of people, stopped doing it.
We have always been the only one who is terrified by our Jinyiwei. When did someone dare to step on our heads? And the other party seemed to be coming for Princess Xianyou. It was really bold!
So, even if the chief official Zheng Yixiang was not there, the remaining Jinyiwei stopped Hu Xiaolin at the end.
Hu Xiaolin, who was eager to pursue Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan, had no time to slowly argue with the captains and strong men of the Jinyiwei, threw down a token and forcibly broke through their siege and jumped onto the roof and chased after them.
Hu Xiaolin's arrogant attitude had an unexpected effect. Seeing that Hu Xiaolin knew their identity as the Jinyiwei still had a strong attitude, the Jinyiwei became a little cowardly.
After seeing the token thrown by Hu Xiaolin, they couldn't help but become even more cowardly.
The commander of the government army was the commander of the Tongzhi.
