Chapter 89 The beginning of the storm
In a small alley on Skylark Street, an inconspicuous carriage was slowly driving. In the shadow of a dead corner facing the backyard of Cao Mansion, the carriage suddenly stopped. Then two men in black uniforms came out of the carriage, jumped up towards the wall, grabbed the wall with both hands, and soon they climbed in through the wall.
After two masked men in black entered Cao's mansion, they kept walking through the shadows. They soon found the attic where Han Lingxue lived. The two communicated for a while in body language, and one of them walked to Han Lingxue's guard and knocked on the door.
"who."
Han Lingxue was about to blow out the candles and was about to rest, but the sudden knock on the door outside the window scared her. Most of the servants in the mansion were old servants, and they should have gone to bed at this time. She immediately asked outside the door.
There was no reaction outside the door. Han Lingxue immediately turned around and returned to the bed, took the long sword hidden in the quilt in his hand, unsheathed the sword, and the sharp sword edge flashed with a cold luster in the candlelight.
Han Lingxue stood behind the door holding a long sword, her eyes hesitated a little. Should she open the door or not?
Just as she was hesitating, there was another knock on the door outside, and her brows frowned. She didn't know that just before she could close the window behind her, a masked man in black was coming in from there with slight feet.
"who."
A sound suddenly came from behind Han Lingxue, and she instinctively turned her head and asked.
"Bang."
The wooden stick in the masked black man suddenly fell on Han Lingxue's head. Han Lingxue's eyes turned pale and she immediately fainted on the ground.
The masked man in black threw the wooden stick in his hand aside, then carried Han Lingxue, who had fainted on the ground, opened the door, and left with the masked man in black outside the door.
Han Lingxue's disappearance was discovered early the next morning. The old servant who came to deliver breakfast was immediately panicked. Han Lingxue was arranged by Cao Wenhua here. They didn't know the specific relationship between Han Lingxue and Cao Wenhua, so how can the servant be lost?
The old housekeeper of Cao's mansion hurriedly towards the Yunze Shui Army's office. The old carriage galloped and his old bones were about to be shaken apart.
When the old housekeeper came to the office, Gao Yue, Cao Wenhua and others had just woken up. When they heard that Han Lingxue was missing, their expressions immediately changed drastically. Then they didn't care about having breakfast and rushed towards Cao's mansion.
When she arrived at Cao's mansion, Gao Yue and others began to investigate carefully. Han Lingxue's clothes were still there. It was obvious that she did not leave by herself. When the old servant came over in the morning, the door was half-closed again. It was obvious that Han Lingxue was captured.
"Who do you think it will be?"
Cao Wenhua's face looked ugly. He was thrown away by the mansion. He was somewhat guilty.
"Wang Zhaiqing is more suspicious."
After thinking about it, the most likely thing was Wang Zhaiqing, but without any evidence, even Wang Zhaiqing and the others could not do anything to each other, not to mention that they were unreasonable.
"What should we do?"
If Han Lingxue is really in Wang Zhaiqing's hands, this matter will be really difficult.
"This matter is difficult to deal with, I'm afraid I can only ask Tang Xuanyu for help."
Gao Yue was helpless. If it was Wang Zhai Qing who captured the person, they really had no better way to get Han Lingxue back. The only thing they could count on was Tang Xuanyu. If so, Gao Yue and others would not want to trouble Tang Xuanyu. Some things were mixed with some things and they would easily deteriorate.
Gao Yue and Cao Wenhua immediately began to look for Tang Xuanyu, but on weekdays, Tang Xuanyu took the initiative to look for them. They wanted to find Tang Xuanyu, but found that they didn't know where to look for it. In desperation, the group had to scatter and search everywhere.
When it was almost evening in the afternoon, Tang Xuanyu finally appeared. After knowing what happened, Tang Xuanyu was silent for a while before he said that he would go to find Wang Zhai Qing and act as an intermediary to reconcile Gao Yue’s conflict with the other party.
If Gao Yue can be, it will be different. King Zhai Qing is too irresistible. After all, there is no real conflict in interests between the two sides. The conflict between the two sides is just a trivial matter. The attitudes of both sides are relatively tough, which directly leads to the gradual deterioration of the relationship between the two. Tang Xuanyu wants to reconcile the conflict between the two as an intermediary. Whether from the consideration of Tang Xuanyu's face or his own interests, Gao Yue will not refuse.
It is not difficult for Tang Xuanyu to find Wang Zhai Qing. After all, his identity is there, and any movement in Jianye City cannot escape the suspicion of the Da Shang royal family. Tang Xuanyu took Gao Yue and Cao Wenhua toward the Yimeng Tower, and the others went back first. They were going to find Wang Zhai Qing to reconcile the conflicts, not to create conflicts, and there was no need to coax them all. It was getting late, and Li Shiqing and the other two rushed towards the agreed place.
Wang Zhaiqing was listening to Miss Meng'er playing the piano in the Imeng Tower. He had been drinking Miss Meng'er for more than a day or two, but Miss Meng'er could be the top cleansing servant in Jianye City, so she naturally had her means. Wang Zhaiqing did not have the courage to force the other party. He tried his best to conquer the other party. The more he did, the more he aroused his desire to conquer.
"Come in."
Just as he was having a happy chat with Miss Meng'er, a knock on the door sounded outside the door, and his brows immediately frowned, and he couldn't help but curse.
To his surprise, Tang Xuanyu was pushed in and followed Tang Xuanyu closely behind him, his rival Gao Yue Cao Wenhua and the others. His heart tightened slightly, and his first reaction was that Tang Xuanyu was about to stand up for the two of them, and that would really be in trouble.
Tang Xuanyu saw Wang Zhai Qing sitting in place with a frown, and a big smile appeared on his face and said, "Young Master, don't you recognize me anymore?"
Wang Zhaiqing came to his senses. The other party was not something he could afford to offend. He quickly stood up and bowed and said, "See Your Highness."
"No need to be polite. This time I came here just to be an intermediary and reconcile the conflict between you and Mr. Gao."
Tang Xuanyu said lightly.
Meng'er is not a fool. Obviously, there is something to discuss between the two sides, so she immediately said, "You guys, chat slowly, I'm going to leave first."
"Um."
Tang Xuanyu nodded faintly.
Wang Zhai Qing had a lot of thoughts in his heart. He didn't expect Tang Xuanyu to stand out for Gao Yue, but fortunately the things were not as good as he had imagined. Tang Xuanyu obviously just wanted to be a peacemaker.
After understanding Tang Xuanyu's intention, Wang Zhai Qing hurriedly said, "Actually, Brother Gao and I are just a quarrel, and there is no major conflict."
Tang Xuanyu is favored by the current emperor, so Wang Zhai Qing naturally dared not to take his face.
"The last time, Gao and others were wrong. I hope Brother Wang should not take it to heart."
Tang Xuanyu came forward to do peace, so Gao Yue naturally had to make a statement. He bowed to Wang Zhai Qing with a fist and said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, it's nothing to say. You have to get closer in the future."
When Tang Xuanyu saw the two of them express their opinions, he couldn't help but smile happily.
Under Tang Xuanyu's reconciliation, the atmosphere would not appear stiff, and both sides would inevitably say more polite words. How true or false these polite words are worth pondering.
"Haha, Zhai Qing, look at Han Lingxue and Gao Yue had some friendship in the past. It would be better to let Gao Yue double the price and compensate you for your losses. How about you handing Han Lingxue to her? I owe you a favor."
Only when the atmosphere was almost active did Tang Xuanyu express the most important purpose this time.
"Your Highness is so serious. Since your Highness has spoken, he is just a maid. When I go back, I will immediately hand over her identity registration to Brother Gao."
Wang Zhai Qing was naturally not stupid, so he guessed a little when Tang Xuanyu came forward.
"She's okay!"
A trace of unhappiness flashed slightly in Tang Xuanyu's eyes. He was so clear about it. Could it be that Wang Zhai Qing didn't want to give him face?
"Aren't she on Brother Gao?"
Wang Zhaiqing looked surprised and immediately asked back, then suddenly came back to the spot and thought, and could Han Lingxue be missing.
"Last night, Han Lingxue disappeared for no reason. Judging from the traces, she was kidnapped."
Gao Yue said, Wang Zhaiqing's expression was not like a fake. Could it be that the other party was really kidnapped?
"I didn't kidnap people, so I couldn't deceive Your Highness for a maid."
Wang Zhaiqing hurriedly spoke, it would be troublesome if Tang Xuanyu misunderstood.
"I believe Zhai Qing has no need to lie to me."
Tang Xuanyu also frowned. Obviously, he believed Wang Zhai Qing's words, so this matter was a bit strange. Who kidnapped Han Lingxue?
The group immediately fell silent. If it weren't for Wang Zhaiqing, then who kidnapped Han Lingxue? What was their purpose? To provoke conflicts between the two sides? Then who would do this, and what benefits could they get? Everything became a mystery!
