The eyes of Chiang Rai and others were lit up, and they stood tall, like a spear.

Their almost pious expressions were silently swearing their loyalty.

The room was quiet again, with only the crackling sound of burning in the charcoal brazier.

The wind and snow outside were getting heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes like goose feathers were densely filled with snow, as if they were a thick fog.

Due to the delay of heavy snow, Lu Siji did not arrive in the capital until November 14th.

Once Lu Siji returned to Beijing, he did not return to the mansion or the Northern Town Fushi. Instead, he went directly to the Nancheng Military and Masji. Without saying a word, he asked Commander Liu of Nancheng Military and Masji to tell his intention:

"The Jinyiwei was ordered by the emperor to transfer the Hao people suspected of arson to the Northern Town Fushi Office!"

Lu Siji took it for granted and arrogant.

The Jinyiwei always acts like this.

Everyone knows that the Jinyiwei is only responsible to the emperor and can arrest anyone, including the royal relatives, who are beyond the court. Both the court officials and the people are all afraid of it when they hear the Jinyiwei.

When the commander of the Jinyiwei requested the transfer of prisoners by the emperor's oral order, no one could refuse.

Lu Siji has the support of the emperor, so he naturally has confidence.

However, he thought that the errand would not go too smoothly. Nancheng Military and Ma Si detained Haoren and did not hand them over to Jingzhao Mansion for most of the time, so he felt that Commander Liu would definitely obstruct him. As a result, the other party agreed to be straightforward and immediately agreed to release the person.

Commander Liu asked Lu Siji to sign the prisoner's transfer document, and then took him to prison to get the person.

There were five Hao people who were detained for setting fire in the house next to Prince Chen's Mansion. After Lu Siji glanced at the five Hao people, he ordered his subordinates to take them back to the Northern Town Fushi.

The Seven-Eight Jinyiwei escorted the prison cart that imprisoned the Hao people and left the Nancheng Bingmasi.

The black hat, flying fish suit, and embroidered spring sword all declared the identity of the Jinyiwei. The pedestrians on the road were afraid of being too slow. The road was extremely smooth and they soon arrived at Maoer Street where the Beizhen Fushi was located.

"Swoosh!"

As soon as the carriage turned into Huer Street, two sharp arrows suddenly shot from both sides of the street, cutting through the air like a meteor. One arrow shot at Lu Siji, the other arrow flew towards the prison car.

A square-faced Jinyiwei changed his expression and shouted: "There is an assassin!"

He drew out the Xiuchun Sword, blocked the long sword, and simply blocked the sharp arrow.

"clang!"

The feather arrow collided with the long sword, and when the tip of the arrow collided with the blade, sparks were everywhere. Almost the next moment, a piece of white powder exploded from the feather arrow. At the same time, another feather arrow that shot into the prison van also exploded. The powder spread rapidly like fireworks, blending with the surrounding heavy snow, forming a foggy thick fog.

The Jinyiwei, including Lu Siji, changed his expression and shouted:

“Beware that the powder is toxic!”

"This is a pill, everyone covers their mouths and noses!"

"Keep the prison car and beware of the assassins!!"

Amid the shouts one after another, silver-white sword light flashed in the "white mist", the sound of weapons intersecting, the sound of falling horses, the sound of horses neighing, the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air... and the sound of screams.

This street is the location of the North Town Fushi, and there are only a few people on the street. Seeing this sudden change, several passers-by were frightened and avoided it from afar.

The cold wind rustled, and the wind continued to roll.

After a while, the "white mist" formed by the powder dissipated, leaving only white snowflakes floating in the air.

There are a lot of scattered streets.

There were several Jinyiwei and several embroidered spring swords lying on the ground. The prison car was empty, and there was not a single Haoren.

The prisoner was robbed!!

The remaining Jinyiwei's faces were not very good-looking, especially Lu Siji.

“Tick tick.”

There was a scratch on Lu Siji's left upper arm. He covered the wound on his left arm with his right hand. The blood overflowed from his five fingers, dripping from the wound, dyeing the snow on the ground red.

The square-faced Jinyiwei asked with a tough forehead: "Commander Lu, are you still chasing me?"

"Chasing?" Lu Siji smiled sarcastically, "Where to chase?"

He looked at the broken chains in the prison car with a heavy look.

This group of bandits who robbed prisoners were so brave. They dared to rob prisoners so openly in the capital and at the gate of the Beizhen Fushi. Moreover, this group of people are well-trained and well-planned, and they are not willing to fight at all.

They must have planned the route of escape in advance, and then they disappeared without a trace.

There are not many people who can do such a vote in the capital, and Lu Siji first suspected that he had arrived at the Chen Prince's Mansion.

These five Hao people were sent to the Five City Military and Ma Si by the Prince Chen Mansion and were detained for so many days. But when he came today, Commander Liu was so easy to talk to.

If the Chen Prince's Mansion had long been intentional about robbing prisoners, then things would make sense.

At this time, another big bearded Jinyiwei came over and clasped his fists and said, "Commander Lu, my subordinates suspect that the person who came to rob the prison was Hao Ren!"

"Say." Lu Siji raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

The bearded Jinyiwei continued: "When the other party was robbing the prison, his subordinates tried to get close to the prison car. He happened to hear a robber saying 'Go quickly' to the people in the prison car in Hao's words."

Lu Siji didn't say anything, his eyes flashed.

If it was Nan Hao's accomplices who rescued them, it was also possible.

Lu Siji grabbed the reins of his left hand tighter and pulled the wound on his left arm slightly.

But at this moment, such a little pain is nothing.

Could it be Nanhao?

Lu Siji asked himself in his heart, and couldn't help but think of Ukhagalou.

The emperor once said that Gu Jue might have taken Uhogalao secretly from Nanhao back to the capital, which was also one of the purposes of the emperor sending himself back to the capital.

Lu Siji's eyes were surging, and he raised his voice and ordered: "Transfer my order to search for the whereabouts of the five Hao people in the city!"

"Also, I'll take someone to guard the four city gates, and I must not let them escape from the capital."

"Try to keep a living!"

He almost beat the last five words.

Lu Siji also had a headache.

The garrison of the capital was under the responsibility of Kang Hongda, the governor of the Beijing camp, but Kang Hongda was hunting with him.

In previous years, when the emperor traveled to the summer resort for summer vacation, he would leave the prince to act as the government, and this time the prince was not there.

Originally, if the prince and Kang Hongda were there, he could have ordered the city gate to be closed and not allowed to enter and exit. Now he could only wait and see the Jinyiwei go to the four city gates second to let the Jinyiwei go to the handle of the four city gates.

"Yes, Commander Lu." The square-faced Jinyiwei responded quickly and quickly went to the Beizhen Fushi Office to pass the order.

As for Lu Siji himself, he turned around and rushed to the Chen Prince's Mansion, leaving behind the mess in this place with two Jinyiwei to deal with the aftermath.

There were people from the Jinyiwei staring secretly around the King of Chen’s Mansion. The King of Chen’s Mansion was like an airtight iron bucket, and even a fly could not fly in. The Jinyiwei could only stare outside.

Lu Siji also did not enter the Chen Prince's Mansion, he just came to a nearby alley.

A middle-aged man dressed in green clothes and had an ordinary appearance that he could not remember when thrown into the crowd quickly turned into the alley and saluted Lu Siji first.

Lu Siji had no time to greet him and asked directly: "Have anyone ever entered and left the Chen Prince's Mansion just now?"

The middle-aged man in Qing shook his head quickly: "No, Commander Lu, his subordinates have kept a close eye on the gates of Prince Chen's Mansion. No one has entered or left today."

"Five Nanhao people were kidnapped. If you see suspicious people coming in and out, go to the Beizhen Fushi Department to report." Lu Siji left this sentence and left again.

He originally wanted to go to the inn where the envoy of Nanhao had temporarily lived before to see it, but he had just left the alley. The square-faced Jinyiwei came hurriedly with seven or eight Jinyiweis and reported: "Commander Lu, I found the traces of those Nanhao people. They had been taken out of the capital from the Xicheng Gate."

When the Jinyiwei he sent arrived at the Xicheng Gate, he was one step too late.

Lu Siji: "..."

Lu Siji's expression changed, and he left three more Jinyiwei to continue staring at Prince Chen's Mansion, and led the team toward the west gate.

"Chase!"

The group of Jinyiwei led by him all rode their horses and ran wildly.

According to the law, there is no way to gallop in a downtown market, but the law is only used to bind ordinary people. The galloping horse of the Jinyiwei means that the emperor's destiny is there, and no one can argue with it.

The group of people kept running, and the "crackling" sound of horse whips came one after another, with great momentum. Wherever they passed, they were like locusts passing by, and all the people were avoiding them when they heard the news.

After passing through the streets, they came to the vicinity of the Xicheng Gate, which caused a stir around the city gate.

Several people in the crowd shouted in panic:

"The Jinyiwei is here!"

"Everyone hurry up and get out of here!"

The guards at the city gate of the Xicheng Gate directly began to disperse the people who were originally lined up to enter and exit the city, and cleared the way for the Jinyiwei.

After a while, Lu Siji and others rode out from the West City Gate in a row. The speed became faster and faster, as if a gust of wind was blowing by. They all did not look back, and did not look at the roadside.

Among the people on the street, a thin monk wearing a gray monk's robe pressed his hat on his head and held a bowl in the other hand.

His hat, monk's robe, Buddhist beads and bowl were all gray, and he looked like an ordinary monk who had passed by here to beg for alms.

Most of the people around him glanced at him at most, and they wouldn't even stop their eyes, let alone pay attention to the handsome face under the hat.

Ukhagalou looked at Lu Siji's back riding his horse, and his eyes became deeper.

He stood there quietly, when the wind blew, the monk's robe lit up, and snowflakes fell on his hat and shoulders.

Many people around him shrank up by the cold wind, but he remained motionless, with a calm and peaceful look that was unchanged and calm, and his body was as deep as the mountains of Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
