Su Dingjie thought to himself: "It is indeed that boy Wu Chengsi." His face was livid, but he said nothing. Li Siwen frowned and said, "Why did Wu Chengsi come here with His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Miss Xue came here not long ago. The old general asked her to find Mr. Wu." Zhang Long replied.
Su Dingjie was stunned for a moment and lowered his head. Li Siwen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhiying, what is the risky method you just mentioned?"
Li Zhiying looked at Zhang Long: "Steward Zhang, I remember that your son served in Jinwu Guard."
Zhang Long smiled bitterly and said: "Miss, I took a closer look just now. The people who came here are all from the Zuo Jinwu Guard. My boy is on duty at the Right Jinwu Guard. I'm afraid he won't be able to help."
Li Zhiying added: "Then there should be clothes belonging to the Young Master Jin Wuwei in the mansion, right?"
Li Siwen's heart moved: "Zhiying, do you want Mr. Su to put on Jinwuwei clothes and sneak into the opponent's team when they come to search?"
Li Zhiying said softly "Hmm".
Li Siwen clapped his hands and said, "You can try this method. Zhang Long, go and get your son's clothes. I think his figure is about the same as Mr. Su, so he should be able to wear it."
Zhang Long smiled bitterly and said: "Second Master, Miss, I'm afraid this method won't work. Everyone in the army knows each other. Mr. Su will be spotted at a glance even if he puts on clothes."
"There are so many of them, and you all know them?" Li Zhiying asked in surprise.
Li Siwen sighed: "Zhiying, the army is a place like that!"
Li Zhiying's face turned pale. She was a female, so she didn't know anything about the military. She lowered her eyes and thought to herself: "I don't know if my grandfather can stop them."
Her parents died when she was young, and the only support in her heart was her grandfather Li Ji. She admired and trusted him the most. She felt that no man in the world could compare with him, so Li Ji asked her to marry Wu Chengsi, and she agreed without much thought.
However, today, when she saw Li Ji blocking the door of the house alone, she realized that her grandfather was old and she could not rely on him forever.
About a tea time later, a servant quickly entered the lobby and said hurriedly: "Second Master, Miss, Princess Taiping and Jin Wuwei have come in to search!"
Li Siwen was surprised and said: "How could it be her?"
The servant said: "Originally, His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to bring people in to search in person, but Duke Zhou persuaded him not to do so. Later, Princess Taiping's carriage suddenly arrived, and she volunteered to come in and search."
Li Zhiying recalled the scene when Wu Chengsi and Princess Taiping went to Li Garden together, and said softly: "Second uncle, Princess Taiping has a good personal relationship with Mr. Wu. Maybe he asked the princess to come!"
"Then let's wait for her here?" Li Siwen said in panic.
"No, we can't stay here any longer. Her Royal Highness the Princess is still followed by the Jinwu Guards!" Li Zhiying shook her head.
"What should we do?" Li Siwen asked anxiously.
Li Zhiying gritted her teeth and said, "Go to my embroidery building. They shouldn't dare to break in there."
Although Li Siwen felt that something was wrong, he was in a hurry and could not care so much. However, he never wanted to let Su Dingjie and Li Zhiying stay in the same room alone, so he went to Li Zhiying's embroidery building together.
The three of them walked through several round doors and arrived at the embroidery building in the backyard. From time to time, servants came to report the situation outside and inform Princess Taiping and others of their movements.
Li Zhiying stood by the window, looking at what was going on outside, and said, "I always feel a little strange. Yuan Gongyu, Xu Jingzong and Li Jingxuan are all scheming people. If they were not absolutely sure, they would not have broken up with their grandfather!"
Li Siwen frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"If only someone saw Mr. Su on the street, they would never mobilize troops like this." Li Zhiying's eyebrows flashed.
"Do you suspect that some key person has met Mr. Su with your own eyes?"
Li Zhiying looked at Su Dingjie and said, "Mr. Su, did you go to the Ministry of Punishments to meet with Mr. Pei yesterday?"
Su Dingjie hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"The prison of the Ministry of Justice is so tight, how did you get in?"
Su Dingjie tilted his head to one side and said: "I went to find one of my grandfather's old subordinates and asked him to help me get in." He thought to himself: "My grandfather has so many old subordinates in the court. If I hadn't been saved by you,
How can I stay here and be angry if I live my life?"
"Who is that old subordinate?" Li Zhiying asked.
Su Dingjie knew that she doubted that person and said angrily: "That person was promoted by my grandfather. There is no way he would betray me!"
Li Siwen sneered and said: "Mr. Su, at such a young age, how do you know how dangerous people's hearts are. I think Zhiying's suspicion is right. If it weren't for the person you are looking for, Yuan Gongyu and others would never have offended my British government.
To such an extent!”
Su Dingjie's face changed. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said: "He is Yang Fang, the general of the Jinwu Guard. He used to be with my grandfather for more than ten years. He knew that the old man loved drinking, and he would not forget to give him a drink during the Chinese New Year every year.
The old man gave us the best wine in Chang'an City, how could such a person betray us?"
Zhang Long said expressionlessly: "The general commanding the Jinwu Guards outside the gate is Yang Fang."
"This is impossible!" Su Dingjie took two steps back, dumbfounded.
Zhang Long sneered and ignored him. The way Li Zhiying and Li Siwen looked at him also changed. At this moment, the maid Hong Ming quickly entered the room and said hurriedly: "Miss, they are here."
Li Zhiying was slightly startled, turned her head and glanced out the window, and saw Princess Taiping walking towards the embroidery building with a few guards, followed by a large group of Jinwu guards.
Zhang Long and Li Siwen also came to the window and saw the general leading the Jinwu Guard. Zhang Long said solemnly: "Yang Fang is here too. If he sees Su Dingjie, it will be all over."
Su Dingjie quickly ran to the window and saw Yang Fang indeed in the crowd, his expression gradually solidified.
Outside the embroidery building, a general beside Yang Fang said: "General, I don't understand, why don't we search separately?"
Yang Fang smiled and said: "Why are you so anxious? The outside is surrounded by a copper wall and the boy can't escape. We might as well play with the princess." His eyes were fixed on the four cloaked guards behind Princess Taiping.
General Nalang looked at the guards and asked puzzledly: "General, do they have any problem?"
Yang Fang smiled and said nothing.
The team came to a stop at the foot of the embroidery building. The door to the second floor opened. Li Zhiying walked to the balcony with Hong Ming, and bowed downwards: "I have met Her Highness the Princess."
Princess Taiping looked at her carefully for a while and thought: "She is indeed a beauty." She smiled and said: "Sister Li, there is no need to be polite. In the future, I may even call you sister-in-law. We are all members of the same family.
"
"Since you are one of your own family, why do you mobilize so many troops?" Li Zhiying said numbly.
Princess Taiping said calmly: "Sister, please don't be angry. It's just that some people say that the British government has hidden the Su family. Although the Su family has not been convicted yet, Li Sikong is about to lead the army on an expedition. Several prime ministers feel that if he is really involved with the Su family,
It is not appropriate to lead troops, so I have to do it as a last resort."
Li Zhiying stared at Princess Taiping closely, but there was no emotion in her expression, and she was not sure if she was invited by Wu Chengsi for help.
Princess Taiping waved her hand behind her and said, "Sister Li's boudoir is not open to men like you, so let me go in and inspect it."
The general was slightly startled and was about to speak when Yang Fang stretched out his hand to stop him. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Then, Your Highness Princess Lao."
Li Zhiying felt relieved when she saw that Princess Taiping wouldn't let Yang Fang come up. Moreover, it was impossible to stop Princess Taiping even now, so she got out of the way and said, "Since His Highness is determined to inspect, please come in."
Princess Taiping went in with four guards, leaving only Jin Wuwei waiting outside.
After a long while, there was still no movement inside. The general frowned and said, "General, why does it take so long to check someone?"
"Don't be impatient. Even if you give them a little longer, can they still dig a tunnel and escape?" Yang Fang said calmly.
After a while, the door of the embroidery building was suddenly pushed open, and Princess Taiping came out with a livid face. After going down a few steps, she suddenly shouted: "Li Zhiying, you are not my cousin yet, and it is not your turn yet."
You come and teach me a lesson!"
After saying that, he walked toward the front yard with enthusiasm. The man said bravely: "Your Highness, have you found it?"
