Chapter 8: Catch it all in one place (Five)

At this moment, in a secret room underground of Zhengyuan Escort Agency, the self-conceited and calm, noble and generous "Empress Dowager" Xu Rongrong disappeared, replaced by a frown with a little nervous and even a little uneasy Xu Rongrong seemed to be waiting for someone, because she would look at the stone door of the secret room every less than a minute, and the anxiety in her eyes was self-evident.

"Miss, something big is not good..." Time passed by minute by minute, and even a person with a perseverance like Xu Rongrong was a little impatient, and finally made her wait for the figure she was familiar with.

The person who came was the old servant named Hua next to Xu Rongrong. His face was even more panicked than Xu Rongrong. The footsteps that came hurriedly were a little messy. There was no calmness of a martial arts master, which showed how anxious he was.

"Uncle Hua, what happened, what happened, Dad?" Xu Rongrong suppressed the bad feeling in her heart and stepped forward to greet her.

The old servant surnamed Hua was sent out by Xu Rongrong to investigate the news of rescuing Lan Lin this morning. According to the plan, after Lan Lin was rescued, he was placed in a secret manor outside the city. What he was going to was this secret manor. However, due to heavy snow last night, the road was closed. Although the imperial court ordered all the troops in the capital to be dispatched to clear the streets and main official roads, due to the secret of the manor and the snow, the road to the manor was naturally very difficult to walk. The old servant surnamed Hua also dragged it back to Zhengyuan Escort Agency for this.

"Miss, the old slave went to the manor outside the city and saw Lin Chun coming back alone. Wu Liuqi and others were all lost, and the action of breaking through the cocoon failed." The old servant surnamed Hua said dejectedly.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Xu Rongrong was frightened, and the blood on her pretty face faded away in an instant. She worked hard and worked hard. Almost every step of the strict deployment was perfect. Even the subsequent things had been carefully deployed. The rescue operation failed. She couldn't believe it was true.

"Miss, this is true. If Lin Chun hadn't been clever, he would have been arrested at this moment, and we wouldn't have known this news." said the old servant surnamed Hua.

"Uncle Hua, this is not true, this is not true." Xu Rongrong's scream was a little hysterical. She worked hard for nearly a year and spent countless brain power in the end. But she was about to succeed, but she received news of complete failure. Even if she was calm enough, it would not be acceptable, let alone Xu Rongrong, who was conceited and pathological.

"Miss, maybe we have been exposed. The old slave advises the lady to leave the capital quickly before the court starts, the faster the better." The loyal old servant named Hua persuaded.

"No, I can't save my father, I will never leave the capital!" Xu Rongrong's morbid persistence actually made her wake up from the blow quickly.

"Miss, this is impossible. Once our action fails, the court will definitely throw the master into the dark prison again. Although there is a secret line of ours there, it is difficult for him to connect with the master close to him, and we cannot save people at all." said the old servant surnamed Hua.

"I know this, is there no other way, such as starting from that bitch!" Xu Rongrong's beautiful face had been distorted, and a light of resentment and hatred was shot out in her eyes.

"Ah, Miss, no!" The old servant surnamed Hua was also shocked by Xu Rongrong's thoughts.

"What's wrong? That bitch would go to prison to visit his father almost every once in a while. As long as we kidnap her or kidnap her halfway, ask the emperor for someone, Uncle Hua, guess if Zhu Youjian loves this bitch so much, will he agree to exchange his father's freedom?" Xu Rongrong's eyes were not only resentment, but even had a terrifying murderous intent, as if he was a cruel female devil.

"Miss, it's not that old slave to attack you. Not to mention that bitch himself has superb martial arts skills, she has the guards of the imperial guards around her. These people are all good players who are loyal to the royal family. If there are too many people, it is difficult to hide our actions. If there are too few people, it will be useless to go. Once we fail and our actions are exposed, the lady and the young master will be in danger."

"Uncle Hua, what do you mean? Don't you want to support me anymore?" Xu Rongrong's face turned cold, and she didn't even talk to the old servant named Hua, who had always been loyal to her.

"Miss misunderstood. Lao Nu means that since the action of breaking through the cocoon has failed, and with that bitch, the master should not be in any danger in prison. As long as the lady and the young master are there, our great cause will have successors, sooner or later we will settle the accounts with the court." The old servant named Hua did not offend at all, but said in hatred.

"But Uncle Hua, you know that without a father, not only those people in the Wuwei Cult are not convinced by me, but those people in the Zhengyuan Escort Agency are even more unwilling to accept me. At that time, when those people think that our mother and son are useless, they will get rid of our mother and son without hesitation." There is no slight family affection in the power struggle, and Xu Rongrong has known this since she was a child.

"Miss, aren't there a million taels of silver and a sea boat we extorted from the emperor? As long as the lady is patient and does not send it, she will train the young master to grow up, and then we will take back the capital and profit!"

"Uncle Hua, do you think Zhu Youjian's one million taels of silver and a sea boat are so easy to get?" Xu Rongrong said hatefully, "How cunning Zhu Youjian is? He will let a traitor take his money easily and then be free overseas. His kindness is superficial. Do you know how cruel he is in secret? You know, for the sake of money, your uncle is banned, and there is also a fire to burn more than 10,000 eunuchs to death. How many people dare to do this?"

"Miss, why do you take such a big risk to ask him for these things, and why did he agree to you?" Although the old servant surnamed Hua is Xu Rongrong's confidant, he would not know how many secrets Xu Rongrong has in his heart.

"That's because he has a handle in my hands. Although it may not have any effect on him, with his compassionate personality, he will never let this happen." Xu Rongrong did not tell too many old servants surnamed Hua, but just smiled coldly.

After all, the old servant surnamed Hua is a veteran. He knows that the master does not want the slave to know too much. At the same time, he also knows that if the slave knows too much, he will die faster. Therefore, he is inconvenient and dare not ask about this topic.

"Miss, what should we do now?"

"It is impossible for the court to have such a big robbery, and the court cannot have no movement at all. If we were tortured before the court made a move, then what qualifications would there be to fight with the court!" Xu Rongrong said calmly.

However, the old servant surnamed Hua saw the shadow of the old master Lan Lin on Lan Rong's slightly pale and resolute face. Since the old master has a successor, even if the old master cannot be free in his entire life, it should be Lao Huai comforted him. Indeed, if Lan Lin in the dark prison knew that Xu Rongrong had such a performance today, he would definitely laugh three times and then commit suicide, because his existence was no longer necessary.

Sometimes the belief that a family carries is really terrible. This is still a fact that has to be admitted, just like Cao Cao said, "I would rather let the world down than let the world down!"

Shortly after the old servant surnamed Hua left, Xu Rongrong received another shocking news that the court would kill the thief leader Lan Lin in ten days, and it was the result of the man in the palace who had been begging for a night but could not change it. He suddenly knocked down Xu Rongrong, who was not worried about Lan Lin's life safety, and her heart was once again in chaos. The news came from the secretly bought eyeliner in the palace, and it was soon obtained.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? Lan Rong, why didn't you stop him? Don't he love you very much? Why, why?" The sudden news almost forced Lan Rong to the brink of collapse. Her curse, her insults and hysterical roars rushed through this small secret room.

"Your Majesty, General Li Yao is asking for a meeting!" Xu Yingyuan reported carefully.

"Oh, let her come in." Zhu Yinglong said without caring.

"Yes." Xu Yingyuan hurriedly stepped down. He lay on the hard bed all night last night, which made his shoulder hurt a little today. By the way, he was a little dissatisfied with the young master's hospitality in the General's Mansion. However, he didn't dare to do anything to Li Yao. He hated Lian'er's lower girl. Of course, this kind of hatred was not the kind that never ended. He just felt that Lian'er, the little girl, was a little ignorant of the world. He had to fix her when he took the opportunity. Xu Yingyuan mentally planned.

"The Wei-Minist General Li Yao from the Beijing Camp will meet the emperor!"

"Flat!" Zhu Yinglong was busy and said without raising his head, "Speak up if you have anything to do, I'll listen!"

"Weichen wants to resign from his position as a brigade general in the Beijing camp!" Li Yao stood up and said calmly.

"Why resigned from office?" Zhu Yinglong asked at Li Yao standing in front of him with a surprised face.

"I know that my talent is shallow and limited in ability, but I am really embarrassed to bear the great task. Since taking office, I have been very cautious and competing, as if I were walking on thin ice, for fear of making a mistake, and I can't sleep every night, and I am afraid that I will let down the emperor's loving eternity. I have recently found that my body was slightly itchy and became increasingly strict. I am afraid that I will let down the emperor's entrustment, so I came to resign and ask the emperor to choose another talent and be able to be grateful to the emperor." Li Yao begged.

All these are excuses. How could Zhu Yinglong not know? Which official who wrote a letter to resign was not like this, but he was almost a fixed application for resignation. Seeing that Li Yao's real expression seemed to be fake, why did she resign? Zhu Yinglong was a little confused, but even if she asked, she was afraid that she would not be able to ask.

"Why is this? Your ability is as good as men. This is obvious to all the civil and military officials in the court. Besides, your brigade soldiers have been trained to be among the elites. If you want to say that you are a person with shallow intelligence, I am the first one who doesn't believe it. Do you have any hidden secrets?" Zhu Yinglong induces him in a straightforward manner.

"There is nothing unspeakable to me." Li Yao glanced at Zhu Yinglong secretly and thought to herself that even if she had her, she could not say it. She was a woman and seemed to be unable to say something. But when the emperor spoke, there was no room for improvement at that time. Therefore, she might as well find an excuse to resign from office and return to Xiangxi, and let her down her sister Magu have a kind intention and wait until she has the chance to repay it in the next life.

"Since there is no hidden secret, you are not dissatisfied with me?" Zhu Yinglong said, "Are you angry with me last night? If this is the case, I will apologize to me last night. I was a little ruthless last night. Don't blame me."

This is a fact. Li Yao is a beauty. She is also a talent. She is even more a proposition. Now, under the default of the court, more and more women are working to support their families. Although it is impossible to change the social ideology of men's superiority and inferiority, at least there is much more legal protection for women. If women like Li Yao are both capable and talented, as long as their abilities are almost harshly recognized by male officials, it will have an irreplaceable motivation to promote women's status. For those who absorb talented women as officials, Zhu Yinglong even wants to do it.

Some discussions are because in a society where men are respected, women are definitely rare than honest officials. If they are military officials, they are acceptable. If they are civil and official words, they may shake the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom. Just imagine what would it be if a woman was appointed as the county magistrate of a county. At least Zhu Yinglong dared not do this blatantly. It would be attacked by the people of the world and the civil and military officials. Without absolute certainty and suitable candidates, Zhu Yinglong would not do such stupid things, but he believed that in his lifetime, he would definitely see capable women taking over as court officials.

When Li Yao heard this, a moving blush flashed across her pretty face, and it was caught by Zhu Yinglong's eyes staring at her. At this time, Zhu Yinglong himself was a little suspicious. Could it be that this is true? But he did not have any excessive words or actions later. Li Yao is not a mentally fragile woman. It is impossible for him to resign because of this little thing. Is there a secret that he has not known here? There are too many things that need to be guessed recently. It is because of this that Zhu Yinglong wanted to leave the palace to get some breath and calm down. He didn't expect that he would still guess now. It seems that this was the trouble he caused.

It wasn't that she had not issued an order to summon her into the palace. She was embarrassed to say, "Go back to advance with one move?" Zhu Yinglong boldly imagined that she looked at her eyes that seemed to contain affection last night, and also found that the two of them were unintentionally approaching each other, gentle movements of stroking their backs, gentle fingers, panic-dodging eyes, and arranged for herself to sleep in her boudoir. She still kept a piece of her silk handkerchief in her arms, which he had wiped the tea in the corner of his mouth and sucked it in his hand and forgot to return it to her.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the case. He knew that Miao girl dared to love and hate, so Zhu Yinglong went astray, because the courage to love and hate shown by Li Yao did not have any personal emotions, but she was still quite conservative in her bones in dealing with love. There were many excellent men among Miao people, otherwise she would not have met a man she liked so far.

"You..." The two of them suddenly had their eyes intersected in the air, but they stayed for less than three seconds and looked elsewhere as if they were concealed.

Li Yao was nervous in her heart. She never thought that Zhu Yinglong would think of her like this in her heart. Zhu Yinglong seemed to have too much fantasy. Of course, Li Yao did not have any affection for Zhu Yinglong, but after thinking last night, Li Yao cruelly cut off this love thread. The union of the two was not an obstacle. The key was that Li Yao had a knot in her heart. Ma Gu had this knot in the beginning, but Li Yao's knot in her heart was much more complicated than Ma Gu. It was precisely because she thought about it and wanted to escape, so Li Yao finally chose to escape, but was misunderstood by Zhu Yinglong.
