When Yan Xiaoyu saw Mu Yunfeng and seven or eight men entering the house in the middle of the night, she couldn't help but be frightened and asked hurriedly: "Xiao Feng, what's going on?"
"Xiao Yu, there is no one else here except Brother Yan, who is Luo Tao's brother." Mu Yunfeng responded.
"Long time no see." Yan Zhuo said with cupped hands.
On the side, Luo Tao also cupped his hands, but did not speak. He just smiled, turned his face away, and did not look at Yan Xiaoyu.
The people who came were all acquaintances. Yan Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiao Feng, where have you been these two days? A lot of things happened in the palace, and I'm so scared."
Mu Yunfeng smiled fondly: "I'm sorry, I'm going to find Brother Yan."
Yan Zhuo took over the conversation: "Princess, I have something to ask of you."
Yan Xiaoyu was stunned, but she didn't expect Yan Zhuo to be so polite: "Brother Yan, tell me if you have something to say. You are Xiaofeng's eldest brother, and I, Yan Xiaoyu, are the eldest brother."
"Is there anything unusual in the palace these days, or has Lu Daoyuan seen the emperor?"
Yan Xiaoyu frowned, looked at Yan Zhuo with alert eyes, and asked: "Brother Yan, why are you asking this?"
Although she said that Yan Zhuo was her eldest brother, Yan Xuanji was her biological brother. She could still tell the difference between her eldest brother and her biological brother.
As soon as Yan Zhuo heard Yan Xiaoyu speak, he knew that she was wary of him, so he did not tell anything about Bai Yan. He only said: "Lu Daoyuan is a member of the Prime Minister's party. I am worried that he is hiding some killer in the palace."
, I’m afraid it’s not good for the emperor. Princess, do you know if there is a secret room in the imperial city where a person can be hidden, and this place is right under the emperor’s nose.”
Mu Yunfeng looked at Yan Zhuo and was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, he quickly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked down at the hilt of his sword, and said no more.
Yan Xiaoyu frowned. She noticed something strange about Mu Yunfeng, but what Yan Zhuo said was related to her brother's safety. What's more, now that the forbidden palace is besieged, she also needs Yan Zhuo's help: "I do know a place.
, but I have a condition, I want you to do me a favor?"
"It's not a big deal, but it's okay to say it." Yan Zhuo said.
"Lift the siege of the Forbidden Palace." Yan Xiaoyu responded.
"No problem." Yan Zhuo said without hesitation, "But you have to take me to the secret room first, and I have to figure out those things first."
Yan Xiaoyu hesitated for a while and then said: "Okay." Although she vaguely noticed something, she and Yan Zhuo had known each other for a long time after all, and he had just quelled the Japanese rebellion for Yan Xuanji, so there should be no problem
.
"The secret room is in the imperial brother's study. I used to play hide-and-seek with the emperor when I was a child. The place was quite big. I was a little scared to go there when I was a child." Yan Xiaoyu talked about her childhood memories, "But
I can't guarantee that there is the person you are looking for in that place."
Yan Zhuo nodded without saying anything. He had a hunch that Bai Yan was hiding there. Since those Tsing Yi swordsmen in Qingyuan Lane were able to reach the Forbidden Palace through the secret passage and participate in the defense of the Forbidden Palace, this meant that
Lu Daoyuan has rebelled and become an imperialist party. Since he is doing things for the emperor, the safest place is naturally the emperor's forbidden palace.
Yan Xiaoyu led Yan Zhuo and others to Yan Xuanji's study. She opened the door and opened the secret room with ease.
A ray of light shone into the secret room, and a rustling of footsteps immediately came from the secret room.
"There is someone." Yan Xiaoyu said in shock.
"There are quite a lot of people." Yan Zhuo said this, took off his robe, gathered his inner strength and threw the robe into the secret room.
The moment the robe flew into the secret room, the sound of various hidden weapons being fired crackled.
Without waiting for the hidden weapon to stop, Yan Zhuo took out the Flying Swallow Dart and jumped into the secret room with his feet slightly lowered, followed closely by Luo Tao, Bai Buchou and others.
The people in the secret room just saw that what was flying towards them was just a robe, and before they had time to react, there was a feeling of coldness under their necks.
"Don't move!" Yan Zhuo said.
"Who are you? You dare to touch the emperor's people."
Hearing this, Yan Zhuo shouted out: "It's dangerous inside, let the princess stay outside."
Hearing that the princess was outside, the man was about to open his mouth to call for help, but Yan Zhuo tapped his acupoint: "If you want to survive, be honest." He said this as his eyes swept through the secret room.
This secret room is either big or small. The three-foot-square area is divided into seven or eight small rooms, and each small room is locked by an iron door.
"Quickly go to those small rooms and see if there is Bai Yan." Yan Zhuo pointed to the small rooms and said softly.
Luo Tao, Bai Buchou, Gu Foying and the others quickly walked towards the small rooms, not even bothering to look for the keys. They drew their weapons and waved them, and the iron doors opened with a loud sound.
"Bai Yan, Bai Yan..." Bai Buchou muttered in a low voice, searching for Bai Yan in the dark little room.
"Don't worry..." A call came to Bai Buzhou's ears.
Bai Buchou was stunned and trembled all over: "I'm here, I'm here..." He looked over and hugged Bai Yan, who was huddled in the corner.
Yan Zhuo looked at the two people hugging each other tightly, was startled, and then moved his eyes back. He wanted to see his sister, but he didn't know how to see her in a way. Would she accept that he still wanted to see her?
Is there something about a brother? He felt a little excited and worried, but mostly fear of the unknown.
He put the flying swallow dart in his hand back into his pocket, and escorted the guard towards the secret room. When he was about to go out, he looked back and said, "Bring out all the people locked inside, and use the secret passage to
Send them all out."
Luo Tao nodded, ran to Yan Zhuo, and asked in a low voice: "What to do with the rebels outside? Do you have any idea?"
"I have a way to do this. Capture the thieves first, capture the king, and kill their general, so that their morale will not be lost." Yan Zhuo glanced at Bai Yan again, "You go out of the forbidden palace first, and I will leave this guard to you. See
Let's see if we can get anything useful out of his mouth. Mu Yunfeng and I have enough to do with the rescue."
Luo Tao nodded and said: "Take care, we are going out first. We will wait for you at the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city."
Yan Zhuo turned his back to Luo Tao, took a step, stopped, and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he quickly left the secret room.
Outside the secret room.
Mu Yunfeng stood beside Yan Xiaoyu, both of them were silent.
Yan Xiaoyu felt a little resentful in her heart. He blamed Mu Yunfeng for leaving without saying goodbye. He blamed Mu Yunfeng for always talking about "Brother Yan". She loved Mu Yunfeng so much that she couldn't accept anyone wanting to take him away.
Take it away from yourself.
She can only be the only one in his life, not even one more person.
As for Mu Yunfeng, he didn't understand Yan Xiaoyu's resentment, nor did he understand why Yan Xiaoyu was angry. He was like many seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys.
Love someone, but don’t know how to love someone. You want to speak, but there are many things like “loyalty and face” that you can’t let go of.
Seeing Yan Zhuo come out, Yan Xiaoyu said: "Brother Yan, has the person been found?"
Yan Zhuo nodded: "I will help your imperial brother to rescue him."
Yan Xiaoyu nodded.
"Brother Yan, I'll go with you." Mu Yunfeng said.
Yan Zhuo glanced at Mu Yunfeng, then at Yan Xiaoyu, and said, "You stay here and take Luo Tao and the others out of the Forbidden Palace. I'll be back soon."
Mu Yunfeng's eyes followed Yan Zhuo's back, and he wanted to move his feet, but Yan Xiaoyu's eyes were as if they were filled with lead, pinning Mu Yunfeng tightly to the spot.
After a while, Luo Tao and others took control of the guards and led the imprisoned people out of the secret room.
Yan Xiaoyu looked at the guard's dress, and then at Bai Yan and the others, feeling vaguely puzzled.
Luo Tao met her doubtful gaze and explained: "People from the Prime Minister's party, these imprisoned brothers are Jianghu brothers."
Yan Xiaoyu nodded.
"Let's leave first. See you soon, Brother Mu." Luo Tao resigned.
Mu Yunfeng also held up his hands and watched everyone leave.
Yan Xiaoyu looked at Bai Yan and Bai Buchou behaving affectionately, frowned, looked at Mu Yunfeng aside, and asked: "Xiao Feng, did Yan Zhuo lie to me? Did they come here to do it?"
For Lu Daoyuan’s hidden killer?”
Mu Yunfeng was stunned and stuttered a little. He was really not a good liar.
While struggling, Yan Xiaoyu already knew the answer from his expression.
