Chapter 114 Forbidden Army

What a cold month, what a lonely street.

The watchman's swaying lights dodged in the wind, Mo Yunxiao ran past quickly, a gust of wind came with him, and the watchmen's lights were immediately extinguished.

The watchman hunched over, looked at Mo Yunxiao's retreating back, and sighed: "People's hearts are not as old as before. Women run alone at night. In the city of Tokyo, apart from the female Yama, there is such an ignorant person. Alas...

…”

Sighing in vain, the watchman took out the firebrand, held the wind in one hand and lit the oil lamp with the other, and continued to beat the gong for the watch.

It was already the fourth watch of the day, and the slightly cold wind was carrying bits of paper and leaves flying.

Looking from the square in front of Xuande Building along Tianjie, the entire city of Tokyo is quiet. There is only a watchman moving slowly with a little light like a firefly, and a figure speeding back and forth.

Two lanterns were lit in front of the Minglou door, and Zhang Yun'er was anxiously wandering in front of the steps.

She originally went to Yilanju to sleep under everyone's advice, but she only slept for half an hour before she woke up from her dream. Then she put on her clothes and got out of bed, and hurried to the front door with the support of Danzhu and Luyu.

Looking around nervously.

"Second Grandma, it's windy outside, let's go back and wait." Danzhu advised: "Miss, Mrs. Wei and the others have gone out. If you have any news, please come back and report it. We won't miss it."

"No! I want to wait here, waiting for my Xiang'er to come back." Zhang Yun'er waved her hands while looking around.

In fact, the whole street was empty, and one could almost see it all the way to the end. Zhang Yun'er still stood on tiptoes and looked at it, regardless of how "wrong" her feet were.

"Forget it, Sister Danzhu." Luyu tugged on Danzhu's sleeve, which stopped her from trying to persuade her: "Let the Second Mistress watch here. Only by watching here can you feel at ease."

.”

Tears suddenly filled Danzhu's eyes. He wiped his red eyes with a handkerchief and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good notice of my girl. Otherwise... otherwise..."

When she was about to cry, she suddenly heard Zhang Yun'er shout in surprise: "Oh! Xiang'er is back!"

The two girls were startled. When they looked around, they saw a woman running towards them.

They couldn't help but clapped their hands and cheered: "Are you really the second girl?"

But as the woman ran closer, the three of them realized that the person coming was not the second girl Yunxiang, but the eldest girl Mo Yunxiao.

Zhang Yun'er's already warm heart cooled down at this moment, and her eyes were full of disappointment and sadness.

Mo Yunxiao rushed to them, and the two maids naturally bowed and saluted. She also gave a half salute to Zhang Yun'er.

Zhang Yun'er was stunned for a moment. According to the rules at that time, the status of a concubine was only slightly higher than that of a slave, and she was considered a "servant". As the daughter of the Mo family, Mo Yunxiao didn't have to salute her, and she really didn't do it before.

This is the first time I have ever done this ceremony. Why shouldn't she be surprised?

"He Lu..." Zhang Yun'er hurriedly supported her. She choked back her tears and asked, "Is there any news about Xiang'er?"

Mo Yunxiao was a little embarrassed and could only say: "I went to the palace, but I encountered some twists and turns. I'm afraid the official family can't count on it."

"Alas, the royal family is mean and ungrateful after all." Zhang Yun'er sighed and said with a tone that was half resentful and half complaining.

Mo Yunxiao ignored it and just asked Danzhu and Luyu: "How is it? Is there anything going on at home?"

"No." They both shook their heads at the same time, and Danzhu continued: "Mrs. Wei, the Li family's wife, and Fan Lou's Sister-in-law Song have all gone out to look for people. We have called three or four times, but there is no reply."

Mo Yunxiao bit her lip fiercely and thought to herself: "So many people are looking for her but there is no news. I'm afraid it's more serious than bad."

"Yes." Lu Yu also said: "Second girl has always been timid, and everyone in the family knows that. She never stays up all night. Even the Ma Street is on fire at the fourth watch. Second girl, she

…”

Mo Yunxiao winked at her and signaled her to stop talking.

Lu Yu also noticed something was wrong and immediately stopped talking, glancing at Zhang Yun'er out of the corner of her eyes.

Zhang Yun'er had already lost her mind and didn't pay much attention to Lu Yu's words. She just clung to Mo Yunxiao tightly, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

"He Lu, although you sisters have always been at odds with each other, you are still your father's flesh and blood after all. He Lu, I only ask you. I know you are the only one who can save Xiang'er."

Zhang Yun'er said that she was going to kneel down to Mo Yunxiao. How could Mo Yunxiao accept her gift? He could only support her and tried to comfort her: "Second Grandma, you don't have to do this. I will definitely try my best to find Dan."

Beryl!”

She was unable to help Zhang Yun'er up, so she quickly called to the two maids and said, "Why don't you help my second grandma!"

The two of them hurriedly came up to help, but Zhang Yun'er had already burst into tears, her wails echoed throughout the street, and her body was too weak to stand up.

Even if three people came to help him, they couldn't help him and could only comfort him with gentle words.

Mo Yunxiao raised her hands and looked at Zhang Yun'er who was kneeling in front of her, and all the grudges she usually had towards her were wiped away.

She just wanted to say: "I must get Yunxiang back!"

Just then, she heard the sound of horse hooves, and a bright light spread quickly from behind.

She hurriedly looked back and saw a group of cavalry galloping towards them. The leader was a general wearing golden armor, and riding alongside him was Zhang Di.

This golden-armored general was not unfamiliar either. He had a broad face with high cheekbones and sharp edges. Especially his eyes that were still shining in the dark night made people feel scared even if they looked at him again.

However, after Mo Yunxiao looked at him for a while, he felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

However, he had already dismounted and walked a few steps in front of Mo Yunxiao. The cavalry behind him also dismounted and followed the military attaché.

Ever since their house was confiscated, Luyu and Danzhu were frightened when they saw the soldiers. Seeing them approaching them, they couldn't help but drag Zhang Yun'er a few steps back.

Mo Yunxiao was the only one standing with her hands behind her back. Her fearlessness was justified.

She knew that the soldiers of the Forbidden Army would never act like this without Zhao Ji's order, and Zhao Ji would never do anything detrimental to her.

When the general came to the front, he suddenly knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists with both hands, and said, "My grandmother, Ma Youxian, the commander of the Imperial Guards, Horses, Infantry Guards, has received an official order, and has come to assist Madam Mo in investigating the case!"

As they spoke, the Imperial Guards soldiers knelt down one after another. Their armor scales collided with each other, making a "dinging, clanking" sound, like a heavy rain hitting tiles and breaking beads falling to the ground.

"Investigating the case?" Mo Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that this was also Zhao Ji's good intentions.

After all, missing persons is indeed a major case, and considering the face of the Mo family and Yunxiang's reputation, we have to say that this is Zhao Ji's good intentions.

It's just a bit against the rules to ask the imperial army to help him investigate the case. Mo Yunxiao couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But at this time, she had no time to think too much. She hurriedly helped Ma Youxian up and said with a smile: "Commander Ma, where have we met?"

Ma Youxian also smiled and said: "Mo family's wife is a noble lady who forgets things a lot. Previously, she had a relationship with her at a lowly position in Prince Jian's Mansion."

At this point, Mo Yunxiao suddenly became enlightened and laughed heartily, saying: "Oh! That's right! Thanks to Commander Ma who arrived in time that day, otherwise both the slaves and the officials would... Oh, it was really dangerous.

I have a horse commander to help me this time, I believe we will succeed immediately."

Ma Youxian looked stern, stood at attention and said: "This is an official order. How dare you neglect your humble position? Madam Mo, don't worry, we will definitely work hard and die!"

"That's not necessary, that's not necessary..." Mo Yunxiao said politely.

Zhang Di became a little impatient and urged: "Should we leave or not? Didn't we say we were looking for people? It will be clear if we continue to delay."

As soon as he spoke, everyone's attention was attracted to him.

Seeing that he was still riding on his horse and neither dismounted to salute nor talk to Mo Yunxiao, Ma Youxian felt something was wrong, so he walked over and said to him, "Naiguan Zhang, you'd better come down and see him first."

After he finished speaking, he looked around again, put his hands around his mouth, and said softly: "The officials have repeatedly made exceptions for this lady of the Mo family. I'm afraid she will also be favored by the palace in the future. Doesn't Zhang Neiguan know better than the humble position?"

Zhang Di snorted and said in a loud voice: "So what? There has never been a precedent for a businessman's daughter to be canonized in our dynasty. Young officials from the official family are passionate, but they dare not break the ancestral law. What is the fate of dew?

Can you think about it?"

He spoke very loudly, clearly for Mo Yunxiao to hear. Sure enough, not only Mo Yunxiao heard it, but Zhang Yun'er, Danzhu and Luyu also heard it, and the Forbidden Army soldiers also heard it.

"Zhang Neiguan!" Ma Youxian was extremely embarrassed and cursed in his heart: "You damn bastard! You actually ruined my position! If you don't see that you are a member of the official family, you will be whipped!"

Zhang Yun'er also stopped crying and called out: "He Lu!"

Mo Yunxiao's face turned red and her eyes widened with anger. Even though she had restrained her temper somewhat, she couldn't help it anymore.

She did not look back at Zhang Yun'er, but strode to Zhang Di's horse and raised her head to look at him.

Zhang Di rides a famous Dawan horse from the Western Regions, showing no fear.

Ma Youxian looked at Zhang Di and then at Mo Yunxiao, but he hesitated for a moment, not knowing who to persuade.

Zhang Yun'er was awake and shouted hurriedly: "He Lu! Don't cause trouble!"

Zhang Di glanced at Zhang Yun'er's horrified expression, smiled proudly, and said: "Mo Yunxiao, you should stop it...ah! What are you doing!"

Before he finished speaking, Mo Yunxiao suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed the horse's head. The horse was suddenly attacked and just wanted to raise its head. But just when it raised its hooves and howled loudly, Mo Yunxiao had already

Get on your horse.

Zhang Di was caught off guard and just wanted to push her down, but before his hand could reach Mo Yunxiao's shoulder, she had already grabbed it.

"Ouch!" Zhang Di shouted, his body suddenly lost its center of gravity and was about to fall off the horse.

Ma Youxian and other imperial guards panicked and hurriedly came to pick him up. But Zhang Di did not fall down.

Mo Yunxiao held up his collar with one hand, flicked the riding whip with the other hand, and shouted: "Drive!"

The Dawan horse neighed and ran away. Zhang Di thought he would fall off the horse, but seeing his mount running wildly, he would not be hurt if he fell off the horse at this time, so he could only hold the horse firmly with both hands.

Mo Yunxiao was dragging his neck and collar, hanging on the side of the horse in a very inelegant and strange posture, and kept making strange noises.
