Chapter 126: Mushroom
Before Yan Yiran left, someone suddenly rushed into the Xuanshi Hall and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, someone broke into the prison! Your Majesty has been kidnapped!"
"What did you say!"
Yan Yiran's reaction was even more exaggerated than Mo Ling's: "You guys are kidnapping people even though they're already in the Imperial Prison! What a bunch of good-for-nothings!"
The man shrank his neck and whispered in defense, "It was Thirteen of the Hidden Dragon Guard who took you away. I thought it was your order. But later, a group of people came and took you and Thirteen away together."
Yan Yiran was so angry that he had a heart attack: "Thirteen has defected, he is no longer a member of the Hidden Dragon Guard! How could this commander give him an order! Useless rubbish, I will go after him myself!"
"Likewise!"
Yan Yiran paused as he took the first step: "What do you want, Your Majesty?"
Mo Ling's face was as gloomy as water: "Try not to hurt Ming Qing."
"Yes!"
Yan Yiran disappeared in the Xuanshi Hall like a gust of wind, and the Imperial Court Justice also tactfully retreated, leaving Mo Ling alone, feeling lost.
Who would kidnap Mingqing?
Is it the Grand Tutor or someone else? Will Mingqing be in danger?
His martial arts were sealed by the imperial physician, so if anything happened, he wouldn't even be able to protect himself.
What should he do with this little liar?
He was clearly planning to bring him into the palace and keep him under his nose, so how could the little liar be kidnapped?
Why did the little liar escape from the palace?
He didn't even intend to punish this little liar who had been deceiving him, so why did he run away? Was it because he felt guilty or for some other reason?
Mo Ling was worried about Feng Jiuqing, but the anger in his heart had not dissipated. He felt towards Feng Jiuqing like a starving person who ate a dish that was over-salted, burnt, and filled with vinegar. He would die if he didn't eat it, but it would be sour and hard to swallow if he ate it.
Little liar! A little liar who is always jumping on his bottom line and telling lies!
He clearly knew that he should be ruthless to this little liar and punish him severely according to the law! But he couldn't do it. He couldn't let the little liar go to the Ministry of Punishment, nor let the little liar suffer in the imperial prison.
After his ministers forced him to send the little swindler to the imperial prison, he immediately summoned the imperial prison chief and ordered him not to torture the little swindler or let him get hurt.
Although he was very rich, he fell in love with this little liar, so much so that every time the little liar did something, it would make him feel as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
Mo Ling was unable to concentrate on handling government affairs. He pinched his brows and sighed. His heart was in turmoil.
Mo Ling slammed the memorial shut and put other things aside for the moment. He had to find Ming Qing!
Although Mo Ling knew that he should issue a wanted order at this moment, he was unwilling to do so. If Ming Qing was arrested with a wanted order, he would inevitably get hurt, so he decided to issue a bounty order.
Then he summoned Lin Yu to issue a reward to the emperor. Anyone who could send Ming Qing back safely would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and anyone who provided accurate information would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. He also summoned the general of the capital's patrol department and the commander of the imperial guards, and ordered them to go find Ming Qing.
After arranging everything, Mo Ling finally remembered that Yan Yiran seemed to have mentioned that the Hidden Dragon Guards had defected.
The Hidden Dragon Guard has always been led by Yiran and directly reported to him. How could they defect?
The Hidden Dragon Guard defected. This had never happened since the founding of the Dai Viet Dynasty. What could have caused the Hidden Dragon Guard, who had always been loyal to the Dai Viet Emperor, to defect?
Mo Ling remembered the secret guard named Thirteen. He was very skilled in martial arts, but his brain wasn't very good. He didn't seem like the type of person who would do something like defecting.
So why do these things happen one after another?
Mo Ling's mind was in a mess right now, and his heart was even more confused, but no matter how he looked, there was always a fog in front of him and he couldn't see clearly.
In a remote courtyard in the capital, Canglang was carefully applying medicine to Feng Jiuqing, while he jokingly said, "The master's beautiful face was ruined just like that. What a pity! It's such a pity! Who is so cruel that he can do such a thing to the master's face?"
Feng Jiuqing glanced at him and asked, "Do you deserve a beating?"
Canglang chuckled: "Master, if you feel uncomfortable and want to hit me, you can, after all, I am thick-skinned and can withstand a beating. But a friendly reminder, Master, it seems that your martial arts are sealed now, you can't beat me~"
Feng Jiuqing smiled slightly: "It should be solved in two hours. How about we practice it then? Anyway, I see that you seem to be very free. I think you haven't practiced for a long time. It's settled."
Cang Lang looked at Feng Jiuqing in disbelief: "My Lord, you are bullying me! How could you lay a hand on me, a handsome and charming gentleman like me?"
Feng Jiuqing had a blank expression on his face: "I have always been hard-hearted. Did you only know this today?"
Canglang curled his lips and threw himself into Yuebai's arms: "Xiaobaibai, look at the master, how could he be like this?"
Yuebai pushed Canglang away with a look of disgust: "It's a bit disgusting."
Canglang relied on his height and long arms to throw himself into Yuebai's arms again, and said, "Xiao Baibai, how can you say that? Am I not your most beloved little stray?"
Yuebai couldn't break free, so he could only let Canglang stick to him and put his hand on Canglang's head: "Be good, speak normally."
Feng Jiuqing's mouth twitched. If he hadn't known that Yuebai was the one who suffered, he would have opposed him. He didn't know who Canglang had learned this from, but it wasn't him.
"Why did they call you, Lord?"
Since the little fool came to the yard, he has been staying in the corner like a mushroom. Even when he was applying medicine, he was like a mushroom, silent and without any expression.
This sudden remark is quite scary.
Canglang stood up straight instantly and looked at the little fool curiously: "I thought the master brought back a mute, but it turns out he can speak. Come, tell me, what is your name."
"Thirteen." After answering Canglang's question, the little fool kept staring at Feng Jiuqing, as if waiting for his answer.
Feng Jiuqing pointed at Cang Lang and said, "You mean them? They are all homeless people I picked up. They made their home here and called me their master."
"Home?" The little fool looked confused: "What is that?"
"Hahaha!" Canglang laughed out loud, and Yuebai didn't have time to stop him.
"My Lord, where did you kidnap this little fool from? He doesn't even know what home is."
Feng Jiuqing sat back and raised his eyelids to glance at Canglang: "Hidden Dragon Guard. He seems to be the most capable one among them."
"Hidden Dragon Guard," Canglang put away his smile, walked up to the little fool, and stretched out his hand to pinch the baby fat on his face. However, the next second, the little fool disappeared in front of him and went to another corner like a mushroom.
"Don't tease the little fool. He grew up in the Dark Guard Camp and doesn't understand human nature."
A trace of pity appeared in Canglang's eyes: "The name given by the Lord is quite suitable for him. He is indeed quite silly. I didn't expect that after so many years, I can still meet a colleague. This is really good luck."
Yuebai took the initiative to pull the person into his arms: "You are no longer a Hidden Dragon Guard."
Canglang's eyes were a little red: "I know."
He whispered to the little fool, "Thirteen, call me brother, and I will protect you from now on."
"Brother?" The little fool tilted his head: "What is it?"
Canglang chuckled: "It can protect your family."
The little fool shook his head: "I am very powerful and I don't need anyone to protect me."
"Fool." Canglang said softly: "But you will get hurt, don't you feel pain? If you have a brother, you won't get hurt easily in the future."
