Xiangyang City is brightly lit, but there are not many people and merchants on the streets.
The reason why Ruyang, the capital of the Dragon Kingdom, can lift the curfew and keep the city open at night is because Ruyang has this strength and there are countless experts in it, but Xiangyang cannot. Only Luo Yun and Luo Kong are in charge here, which is far from being a deterrent.
The level of all martial arts masters.
Even so, Xiangyang City is several times more prosperous than before.
Many merchants from southern China and Lingnan choose to stay overnight in Xiangyang as their first stop.
Not far from the southeast of Xiangyang Chengzhou Yamen, there is a mansion that occupies a large area. It was the former residence of Li Feng, the king of Xiangyang. It is now the Governor's Palace of Xiangyang.
At this moment, in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, Luo Yunduan was sitting on the main seat with a frown on his face, and Luo Kong and several other subordinate officials were sitting on the deputy seats.
"No progress yet?"
After a long time, Luo Yun raised his head and looked at Luo Kong.
"No!"
Luo Kong shook his head.
"Then we will continue to search tomorrow. No matter what, we will find His Majesty within three days."
Luo Yun stood up and looked at the other officials,
"If there is not enough manpower, then we can transfer some from the Xiangyang City Defense Camp."
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
Hearing this, several other subordinate officers stood up hurriedly.
"Okay, it's getting late... I'll go back and have a rest early. I'll go to the lobby at midnight tomorrow to be on standby."
After sweeping through the crowd, Luo Yun said again.
"yes!"
Soon, only Luo Yun and Luo Kong were left in the lobby.
"Brother, Xiangyang is a big area. Our people are like headless flies without a target. Besides, we can't reveal our identity... I'm afraid it will be short-term..."
After a moment of silence, Luo Kong said.
"There is no way, the Ruyang matter is too involved, we must not look for it openly, otherwise everyone will know that our Majesty is not in the palace. Of course, although the people we sent have hidden their identities, as long as His Majesty is aware of it, they will take the initiative to ask
Inquiry."
Luo Yun shook his head slightly.
He knew what Luo Kong was thinking, and now he had no choice but to find out.
Ruyang's recent big moves have been one after another. First, a list of the cornerstones of the Dragon Kingdom was released, and then several palace masters were dispatched together. Two more went to Ruyang Pass. This can only mean that something big happened in Ruyang.
"By the way, is there anything going on at home recently?"
Rubbing his brows, Luo Yun slowly sat on the main seat. He has been presiding over this matter for the past few days. All matters in Xiangyang Mansion have been handed over to Luo Kong. Luo Kong is a military general, and it is inevitable that he will be a little stretched to deal with government affairs.
"It's not a big deal! By the way, brother, did you know that there is a man named Wang Yuan in Wuying Palace?"
After thinking for a while, Luo Kong suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Wuyingdian? Wang Yuan? What's wrong?"
Luo Yun's expression changed.
He knew all the people in charge of Wuying Hall, but there was no one named Wang Yuan, unless this person was just an ordinary government official.
"It's like this. Yesterday, there was a Wang family in Jianping County. They sent an invitation, saying that Wang Yuan would return to his hometown to visit relatives soon and Wang Jin's younger brother wanted to take a concubine. I hope you can give me a favor, eldest brother.
Travel to Jianping County."
"Favor of face? What a big score!"
Luo Yun's face darkened.
Not to mention that he has never heard of Wang Yuan at all, even if Wang Yuan is from Wuying Palace, he should not make such a big statement.
"Well, it's just a face reward!"
"how do you say?"
"I kicked out the butler who sent the invitation. Now we are looking around to see if His Majesty has time to go to Jianping County to attend the banquet, and... This Wang Yuan's arrogance is really a bit big. I don't know, I thought it was...
Senior Poet Saint has come to Xiangyang."
Luo Kong was a little disdainful.
The butler's appearance at that time was very serious. If his eldest brother Luo Yun was not a second-grade Governor of Xiangyang and himself a third-grade Xiangyang Guardsman, the ordinary governor might have been intimidated.
"Senior Poet Saint is busy with Ruyang affairs with several other seniors. How can he be so boring? Besides, Senior Poet Saint is not so arrogant. But... we can't just let this matter go. You should report this matter immediately.
A memorial was drafted and sent to Ruyang.
The reputation of our Dragon Kingdom's one palace and four pavilions cannot be so bad!"
After thinking about it, Luo Yundao said.
"Um!"
"By the way, tomorrow you will go to the east of the city again. The third branch of Ruyang Bank will be opened..."
Report!
However, just when Luo Yun was about to arrange some more things for Luo Kong, a guard suddenly came to report outside the lobby.
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, two people from outside the Governor came to see you, and they gave you a note."
The guard said hurriedly.
"Note?"
Luo Yun opened the note. When he saw the content clearly, he was stunned for a moment and then became ecstatic.
"Luo Kong, hurry up..."
After saying the next sentence, Luo Yun immediately rushed out of the lobby.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Your Majesty is here!"
"Your Majesty? This...brother, wait for me."
.......
After half a stick of incense,
In the lobby, Li Mo was already sitting at the main seat.
"I will see you at last, Your Majesty!"
Luo Yun and Luo Kong knelt down on one knee and performed the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.
"Two generals, please rise."
Li Mo nodded slightly.
It is said that Li Mo and Sun Simiao rushed to Xiangyang non-stop after leaving Xiaolin Village. They had just entered the city when the city gate was about to close at the last moment, and it was already this hour when they arrived at the Governor's Mansion.
"By the way, two generals, this is Mr. Sun Simiao, who will be the Minister of Medicine of our Dragon Kingdom from now on."
After the two of them got up, Li Mo spoke again.
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Medicine? I have met Mr. Sun!"
Luo Yun and Luo Kong glanced at Sun Simiao who was beside Li Mo and saluted again.
Although I don’t know where this kind-faced old man came from, since he was appointed by His Majesty, he must be something special.
"Sun Simiao met two generals."
Just like that, after a greeting, before Luo Kong and Luo Yun could speak, Li Mo went straight to the topic,
I didn't plan to tell these two about my injury, otherwise they would worry again.
"Two generals, something big happened over there in Ruyang? Why did you suddenly send so many soldiers to look for me?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know exactly what happened in Ruyang. The secret message sent by the two prime ministers did not go into details. It only said that I would do everything possible to find your Majesty. If you find your Majesty, I will escort him to you as soon as possible."
Positive."
Luo Yun replied hurriedly.
"No details?"
Li Mo frowned.
He thought he would be able to find out what happened in Ruyang when he arrived in Xiangyang, but now it seems that he has to go to Ruyang if he wants to know the cause and effect.
"In that case, please ask General Luo to prepare two fast horses, and my husband and I will rush to Ruyang overnight."
After thinking for a while, Li Mo made a decision.
"Yes! Your Majesty, I will let twenty-four cavalry follow you to escort Your Majesty all the way to Ruyang."
Luo Yun immediately accepted the order.
In normal times, he would definitely let His Majesty stay one more night, but the situation is unclear now. Wouldn't it happen if His Majesty were late to return and delayed the important event?
"By the way, there's one more thing!"
After getting up, Li Mo suddenly thought of something and stopped as he was about to walk out of the lobby.
