Chapter 6: Leading the Snake out of the Cave (Five)

Lan Rong was anxious. If she couldn't find Zhu Yinglong, she could not stop the issuance of the edict. So she had to find Zhu Yinglong before the edict was issued, hoping to stop the issuance of the edict. However, the harem could not interfere in politics. Even if she was the emperor's concubine and had a personal bodyguard, none of these could change her identity as an emperor's woman. She would be afraid that she would have a slim hope to ask the emperor for this identity, but even this slim hope she had to go.

"Your Majesty, are we going back?" Xu Yingyuan asked carefully after Zhu Yinglong.

Zhu Yinglong knew that Lan Rong could not find him and would definitely wait in Yangxin Palace, but when he returned to Yangxin Palace, he really didn't know how to face her.

"Xu Yingyuan." After a while of silence, Zhu Yinglong slowly spoke.

"The slave is here."

"Transfer my will and order the Hai brothers to protect Lan Rong without leaving me." Zhu Yinglong ordered in a deep voice.

"Emperor, this..." Xu Yingyuan hesitated. The Hai brothers were the emperor's closest guards besides Lan Rong. They were always by the emperor.

"What's this? Why don't you go quickly!" Seeing Xu Yingyuan questioning his order, Zhu Yinglong turned around and glared fiercely, shouting.

"Slave follows the order." Xu Yingyuan turned around and left.

After a while, Xu Yingyuan turned around, the dragon chariot had been sent back, and Zhu Yinglong also changed into a green round-collar brocade robe, jade belt, and purple cloak. Although he didn't look like the handsome young man in the turbid world, he was considered handsome and handsome. After being an emperor for a long time, his temperament was naturally very different.

Looking at this outfit, Xu Yingyuan had already guessed that the emperor was probably going out of the palace. As for where he went, it was not something he could guess.

"Your Majesty, are you going out?"

"Well, I've been in the palace for a long time and I'm a little depressed. I want to go out of the palace for a walk." Zhu Yinglong found a reason casually.

Xu Yingyuan looked at the sky and saw dark clouds coming. Before the wind rose, the clouds moved first. This was clearly a sign that the heavy snow was about to come. Moreover, it was not too early. It was obviously not a wise move to leave the palace at this time. Xu Yingyuan wanted to persuade the emperor, but the power of glaring just now was still in front of him. It was hard to guarantee that he would not be scolded. But his duty was that if something happened, he would not be enough to cut his head.

"Your Majesty, it's too late today, and the Imperial Heavenly Prison came to report that there will be heavy storms tonight, so it's better for the emperor not to leave the palace." Xu Yingyuan persuaded carefully.

"I know." Zhu Yinglong responded calmly.

Xu Yingyuan muttered in his heart, since you know everything, then go out? But he didn't dare to say these words. Since he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a reminder, the rest could only sacrifice his life to accompany the king.

"Let's go, I'm not afraid of a little bit of wind and snow." Zhu Yinglong walked in front and said.

As soon as we left the palace, the wind and clouds surging, and soon snowflakes floated in the sky. At this time, the pedestrians on the street had already returned home one after another. Only a few helpless people were still walking in a hurry, with a look of worry on their faces, and they did not have any nostalgia for the coming wind and snow.

The wind and snow were getting heavier, especially the biting cold wind wrapped in ice beads as big as soybeans and hit people's faces. It was really hard and painful. Zhu Yinglong and his group were walking forward unyieldingly in the wind and snow, and they had to bend down and walk down, and it was difficult to open their eyes.

Zhu Yinglong also has a stubborn temper. The more difficult it is, the more he wants to do it. He will never give up until he hits the wall. In fact, it was his panic in his heart and needs to vent, which caused Xu Yingyuan and a group of guards who were escorting him.

"Your Majesty, please look for a family to hide from the wind and snow?" Xu Yingyuan stepped forward and persuaded.

I feel uncomfortable, so I can't implicate others and ask for trouble with me. As the wind and snow get heavier and darker, the sky is getting darker and darker, and the surroundings are covered with fog, and the places where I see are full of miserable white.

"Okay, let's avoid it first." Zhu Yinglong nodded in agreement with Xu Yingyuan's correct suggestion.

"Your Majesty, look at the family of two pairs of stone lions in front of the door." Xu Yingyuan looked around and finally asked him to find a family that could allow the emperor to stay for a while.

In Xu Yingyuan's eyes, ordinary people cannot get such a noble body as the emperor, at least they must be rich and noble families.

Ignoring the strange thoughts of the eunuch in front of him, a guard had already walked up to knock on the door under Xu Yingyuan's gesture in the wind and snow.

The four big characters on the gilded plaque "General Li's Mansion" are not hidden in the wind and snow.

"Xu Yingyuan, when did there be a General Li in the capital?" Zhu Yinglong looked at the plaque and seemed to be very new. It seemed that it had just been hung for a while, but he could not think of when the imperial court had such a "General Li" and he didn't even know him, the emperor?

Xu Yingyuan's eyes rolled, remembering who "General Li" came, and hurriedly said, "Did the emperor forget that the emperor gave a house two months ago?"

"Who did I give a house to?" Zhu Yinglong said in confusion, "Is it possible to give it to General Li?"

"That's right." Xu Yingyuan wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. He was obviously because he was a noble man who forgot about things, but in the end he didn't remember what he had done.

Zhu Yinglong suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he slapped his forehead and said loudly: "I remembered it, I remembered it. It was Li Yao, General Li. General Li Yao had been living in the military camp after he entered Beijing. It was very inconvenient. Until I gave her a house two months ago, was it this place?"

"I think it should be this house." Xu Yingyuan replied with a smile.

"That's a coincidence. I'm still worried that my master will not let us go in to shelter from the wind and snow!" Zhu Yinglong said with a smile.

As he was talking, thousands of guards knocking on the door ran over in a dirt.

"What's going on?" Zhu Yinglong asked. Could it be that he really made the crow's point?

"Your Majesty, the servants of the General's Mansion are so hateful. Before the young man could tell the purpose of coming, he heard the door saying, "My general will not see any guests, please come back." Then he closed the door with a 'clang', and the small door was bombed out before the small one was in." The ministers of the first and second grades were all polite when they saw them, but they did not expect that the young mansion of the small one would not give any face at all. The guards who knocked on the door were really angry.

Zhu Yinglong's face changed slightly. Although Li Yao was from a Miao family, she was also well-educated. Why was the attitude of a small disciple in this mansion so rude and arrogant and rude?

"Your Majesty, maybe this is what General Li ordered, so why would you let the servant try again?" Xu Yingyuan stepped forward and said.

Zhu Yinglong seemed to think for a moment, then nodded slowly. At this time, the wind and snow were getting heavier and there were no pedestrians on the street.

The general's mansion seemed a little angry. It was windy and snowy, so why couldn't people live in peace? Only one was sent away, and another one came.

"Who are you?"

"In my family's surname is Xu, my family..."

Before Xu Yingyuan could continue to say something, the door said in a slight manner: "No matter who your son is, my general will never see you."

Xu Yingyuan was suddenly suffocated by the other party, and his neck was flushed red. Just as he explained, he heard the two vermilion doors gathered together at lightning speed, making a dull sound.

The soil also has three parts of Buddha nature. Xu Yingyuan had never seen such an rude disciple. If the emperor hadn't been behind him, he would have knocked open the door and taught this indifferent disciple a lesson. Now he could only hold back his anger and retreat in disappointment.

This is amazing. A small general's mansion actually blocked the emperor outside the door. This was not because he was brave enough. The large inner guards were naturally furious. If the emperor hadn't been by his side, they would have bumped into the people long ago.

"Your Majesty, I'm useless..." Xu Yingyuan said awkwardly, his face turned red and white, which was quite ugly.

"Forget it, since they don't let us go in, let's take refuge under this eaves. When the wind and snow are getting lighter, we will leave." Zhu Yinglong's eyes stopped the impulse of the guards.

"Your Majesty, it's windy and snowy here. Let's find a place to avoid it. There are other families here. I don't believe that other families are like this general's mansion." Xu Yingyuan said.

Zhu Yinglong nodded and said, "Okay, you can take two people to see. If someone is willing to accept us to shelter from the wind and snow, you can tell me again."

Xu Yingyuan quickly agreed and led the two guards to turn around and drill into the flying snow and snow.

In the general's mansion, in the study, the charcoal fire was red and warm as spring. In the red sandalwood copper furnace, a wisp of blue smoke circling slowly, the fragrance was light but not greasy.

On the soft couch, a delicate and slender body lying on the side, with a beautiful jade face, delicate and beautiful outline, beautiful snow-white jade neck, warm shoulders, slightly raised breasts, a willow waist that was held in full, a slender figure, and a crystal-clear toe as white as jade, which was casually grasped, forming a perfect curve.

The lilac fur only covered the two points on the chest, and the slight rise and fall between breaths was in bud, and it was extremely charming.

Suddenly, the master's phoenix eyes narrowed, and a trace of melancholy seemed to flash between his faint eyebrows.

"Lian'er?" Li Yao exclaimed softly.

"Miss, what's the matter?" A maid pushed the door and brought in a hint of chill in an instant, and the candlelight in the room couldn't help but darken.

"Go and ask Li Li to guard the door carefully. If you encounter someone who is in trouble, especially a homeless beggar, take in more." Li Yao ordered.

"This, Miss..." Lian'er was a little puzzled.

"Go quickly and order the kitchen to make more rice porridge, prepare more cotton coats and quilts, and maybe use them later." Li Yao continued to order.

Lian'er took the order and left. Li Yao sighed and said to herself: "I don't know how many people will freeze to death during this storm, hey..."

This may be because of a heart-to-heart relationship. Zhu Yinglong also thought of this at this moment, but he thought that not only many people would starve or freeze to death in this storm. What he was even more worried about was how much impact this would have on the slow recovery of national strength. This is a natural disaster, and it is impossible to avoid it, and it can only minimize the losses.

The door of the general's mansion suddenly opened, and a petite figure walked out: "Come in, my general has ordered people to prepare food and clothing for you."

Zhu Yinglong and the guards looked at each other in confusion, confused about what they meant. When they all stood up, they shook off the snow on their bodies, revealing the luxurious clothes inside.

"You, aren't you beggars?" The petite figure was the Lian'er in front of Li Yao. Seeing Zhu Yinglong and more than a dozen people dressed up, she was shocked and grew up.

"Beggar?" Zhu Yinglong couldn't help but laugh, but then he understood why he mistakenly recognized him as a beggar. More than a dozen of them were covered in snow and looked very embarrassed. In addition, the lights were dim and if you didn't look carefully, they were really similar to beggars.

"Miss Lian'er, they..." Li Li, the son of the general's mansion, followed behind Lian'er. Seeing Zhu Yinglong and others' outfits, he hurried forward and whispered a few words in the ear of Lian'er's little girl.

After hearing Li Li's words, a hint of displeasure flashed across Lian'er's face, but she could no longer stop what she said, but her attitude immediately changed from March to twelfth of winter. She looked at Zhu Yinglong, surrounded by guards and said, "Come in, as soon as the snow stops, you must leave immediately!"
