Pei Tianlin smiled and said: "If it were him, then with the commotion of the imperial guards in the palace, he would have no chance to leave the palace."
"That is to say, it is impossible for him to appear in the mission's residence at this time!"
"Sir, what do you mean?"
Li Xiaohua seemed to have expected something, her face turned cold.
Pei Tianlin snorted coldly.
"Take people with you immediately to search the mission's residence! See if Lin Yiqiu is still there!"
"yes!"
Li Xiaohua took the order, but after a while, he turned back.
"Sir, after all, the other party is the Qianguo envoy. If we go to search in the middle of the night, we may find nothing."
"It's very simple, just find an excuse."
Pei Tianlin reminded: "Just say that there is a thief in the palace. He has just escaped from the palace. For the safety of the emperor, a manhunt will be conducted throughout the city!"
"If they dare to resist, they are disobeying the emperor!"
"My subordinate understands!"
Li Xiaohua nodded immediately.
Soon, he and his men rushed towards the mission's residence.
At this time, in the mission's residence, Cang Hong and others had not rested yet.
Because it had been almost two hours since Lin Yiqiu entered the palace, but he still hadn't come back.
Cang Hong was a little worried. He was afraid that something unexpected might happen to Lin Yiqiu in the palace.
And Xia Nianqiao was too worried that she couldn't sleep.
"Could this guy be caught by Pei Tianlin's people?"
Xia Nianqiao made a guess.
Cang Hong frowned.
"It shouldn't be possible. Anyway, with Chen Mohan's help and protection, Pei Tianlin's people have little chance of taking action."
"Could it be...could it be that the emperor and Pei Tianlin are actually working together! In fact, they just want to trick Lin Yiqiu into the palace?"
Hearing this, Cang Hong still shook his head.
"It's impossible. Emperor Wu and Pei Tianlin have deep conflicts. This is a recognized fact. It's impossible for them to become a rope just because they want to deal with us!"
But even though he said it was impossible, Cang Hong was still worried in his heart.
After a while, he thought about sneaking into the palace secretly to see what happened?
However, at this moment, the Jin Yiwei at the door suddenly walked in quickly.
"Sir, it's not good! Someone is coming!"
"who?"
Cang Hong asked immediately.
The Jin Yiwei responded with a frown.
"Looking at it, it seems that Li Xiaohua, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, is heading straight towards us with a team of troops!"
"Li Xiaohua? What's he doing here if he has nothing to do?"
Cang Hong couldn't understand.
But not long after, Li Xiaohua had already killed them.
Get off your horse and ask someone to knock on the door!
A guard in Jin Yi showed up with a sword drawn, and he was very alert.
"What's the matter with you? This is the residence of the mission. You will be responsible for the consequences if you trespass!"
Li Xiaohua looked disdainful when she saw this.
"Hmph! We need to search this place, get out of the way!"
"Search? Are you afraid that you made a mistake? Is it possible that you can also search the residence of our ambassador?"
Jin Yiwei still refused to let him go.
But Li Xiaohua waved her hand, and a group of people behind her had directly surrounded the mission's residence.
He is still so arrogant!
"This is Wu State's territory. We want to search it. Do we still need your consent?"
"Get out of here! Otherwise, I'll chop off your head and use it as a wine flask later!"
However, his fierce words did not scare Jin Yiwei.
After a while, several more Jinyi guards appeared and pulled out their long knives.
"stop!"
A sharp shout sounded, and soon, Cang Hong had arrived in front of the door.
The Jin Yiwei heard his voice and quickly saluted respectfully.
Cang Hong looked at Li Xiaohua coldly and said, "Vice Commander Li, we meet again."
"You guy, you are..."
Li Xiaohua had the deepest impression of Lin Yiqiu at the banquet. After all, she was someone she had fought against in person.
But I don’t seem to have much impression on Cang Hong.
But judging from the aura on the opponent's body, there is no doubt that he is an extremely powerful master!
Because even he can't see through Cang Hong's depth at all!
Cang Hong said in a deep voice: "I am Cang Hong, the leader of the Jinyi Guards of Qian Kingdom, and I am responsible for protecting the mission!"
"Vice Commander Li, it's late at night when you should be sleeping, but you brought so many people to surround the mission's residence. I'm afraid it's not in line with etiquette, right?"
There was a chill in his words.
Li Xiaohua was not afraid either.
"Tonight, a thief suddenly appeared in the palace, threatening the emperor's safety. As the deputy commander of the imperial army, it is my duty to protect the emperor!"
"The thief ran in this direction! Do you think I should come over and search?"
He just made up a nonsense reason.
Cang Hong frowned when he heard this.
"Vice Commander Li, you mean that the thieves are members of our mission. Is that what you mean?"
"Haha, I didn't say that, I just said that the thief ran in this direction! So we must search here!"
"Commander Cang, it is related to the safety of our Lord Wu. Do you want to resist the search? If so, then you must sincerely oppose the Lord!"
With a threatening tone, Li Xiaohua stepped forward and spoke coldly.
Cang Hong's expression became even darker.
It was really not easy for him to pull Emperor Wu out.
If he doesn't agree, the other party will definitely use this excuse to fan the flames in front of Emperor Wu, which will ultimately make the hostage exchange even more difficult.
If he agreed, but there was no sign of Lin Yiqiu in the house, and after searching, they found that Lin Yiqiu was not there, and they were in great trouble.
This is really difficult to do!
"What's wrong, Commander Cang? Is this difficult for you?"
Li Xiaohua smiled coldly.
Cang Hong thought for a few seconds and then spoke coldly.
"Vice Commander Li, our Jin Yiwei are top-notch whether we are handling cases or arresting people. If there is a thief, we Jin Yiwei will definitely capture it directly."
"You don't even need your imperial army to take action, and the thief has already been delivered to you!"
"Besides, the leader of our mission, Governor Lin, has already fallen asleep. It would not be good to wake him up if we break in now.
He's doing his best to delay.
However, Li Xiaohua didn't care about this at all.
"What does it have to do with me if he is asleep? I only care about the thief now and the emperor's safety!"
He yelled loudly, and Li Xiaohu's expression became more mocking.
Judging from Cang Hong's performance, it is very likely that Lin Yiqiu is not in the house!
I'm afraid the other party is really trapped in the palace by the Imperial Army, so he can't come back!
All you need to do is go in and confirm for yourself, and everything will be completely clear!
"Commander Cang! Please get out of the way! Otherwise, you will be disobeying the Holy One!"
Li Xiaohua couldn't help but explain, and she and her people were already preparing to go inside.
Cang Hong was unwilling to give in and continued to block him.
For a time, the atmosphere was extremely tense!
All the Jin Yiwei have drawn their swords! Their faces are fierce!
But at this moment, a joking voice suddenly came.
"Vice Commander Li, it's late at night, why are you checking here if you don't sleep?" This chapter has been completed!
