Song Ping turned over and dismounted, with a guilty face on his face, he tapped one leg and said: "Your Majesty, Princess, I am incompetent, the Lord of Yongchang County..."

"Dead?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"lost."

Huo Changhe was slightly surprised: "Lost?"

"I woke up early this morning and wanted to take a look at her. I didn't expect that there was no one in the room, and the bed quilt was untouched. There was only a small patch of blood on the ground, and the back window was half open."

Song Ping whispered: "It must have been lost for a long time."

He didn't even go to bed, so the bed quilt was untouched. He was rescued through the back window, which shows that what happened last night.

The situation has come to this, and there is no point in blaming anyone.

"Go and see the scene."

Yan Ruyu guessed that it was the other son of Yongchang County Lord who rescued her.

But she had a vague feeling in her heart that Yongchang County Lord's other son would not be as devoted to her as Huo Changxian, and his behavior would be like Yongchang County Lord's, selfish and cold-blooded.

Would such a person take the risk to save Yongchang County Lord?

Yan Ruyu always felt that she was not very good at it.

"He was probably saving people for that batch of grain, or for something in the hands of the Yongchang County Lord," Huo Changhe said. "It doesn't seem like he was just saving people."

Yan Ruyu's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Your Majesty and I have the same view."

Together we went to the residence of the Lord of Yongchang County. The furnishings in the house were still the same as last night.

"Have the things been moved?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"No, we didn't dare to move the slightest bit, everything is business as usual," Song Ping replied.

"Okay," Yan Ruyu walked to the window and looked closely at the half-open rear window. There was a half-footprint on it, with faint patterns on it.

They are women's shoes.

It should be the owner of Yongchang County. There are still a few drops of blood on the window sill, which has turned dark red. It can be seen that it was not bandaged when he left.

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly. Although Yongchang County Lord's injury was not fatal, she had always been pampered, so it was enough for her to suffer. However, the person who saved her didn't want to stop the bleeding and bandage her first, but took her away first. She didn't care much. her body.

And then...

Yan Ruyu raised her nose and smelled it, and it seemed to have a medicinal smell.

"Your Majesty, take me out the window and take a look."

Huo Changhe took her through the window and went outside, searching for the smell of medicine. He found a milky white tablet in the grass. The medicine had been roasted and should be very dry, but after being left here for a long time, it was already stained with dew and slightly damp.

In addition to this piece of medicinal material, there is also some medicinal powder and a few cloth threads on the tip of the grass.

The cloth threads are smooth and delicate. Although there are only a few threads, it can be seen that the texture is very good.

"This should be a medicine bag containing some medicinal materials. It was accidentally torn, so the medicinal materials and medicinal powder spilled out."

Yan Ruyu looked up at the big tree not far away. Huo Changhe understood and flew to the tree to look for traces.

"Sure enough!"

He took off a small piece of cloth, which was hanging on a tree branch: "I guess he was waiting for the opportunity there. When he came down, he accidentally scratched the medicine bag, but he didn't notice it."

Yan Ruyu pinched the pill, thoughtfully, her face became increasingly gloomy.

Huo Changhe asked: "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, we may have guessed wrong."

"How to say?"

"The person who took away the Yongchang County Lord was not her son, but," Yan Ruyu paused, "Mr. Mo."

Huo Changhe frowned and took the pill: "Why do you see it?"

"This medicinal material seems ordinary, but in fact it is very rare. It is a good medicine for pain relief. Because it is expensive, few people can afford it, so they usually use ordinary medicinal materials instead."

"But this person can use it easily. He also puts it in a medicine bag and can be carried with him at any time for sniffing. This shows that he is generous and the fabric used to make the bag is also extraordinary."

Huo Changhe nodded: "Yes, but the other son of Yongchang County Lord may not have these."

"I don't know if he has the financial resources, but I know he won't use this medicine."

"Why?"

"Do you still remember the kind of chicken soup he likes to drink? It has invigorating herbs added to it. I have read it. It should be a fixed recipe and will not be changed easily. There is a medicine in the recipe that is exactly the same as this one. Eight antis.”

"Although we haven't seen him, he must be cautious and cherish his life very much."

Huo Changhe chuckled: "So, when it comes to medication, he must check carefully to ensure that there will be no mistakes."

"Exactly," Yan Ruyu nodded, "Actually, I also think that there was an accident in the city yesterday and he came to rescue people last night, which was too fast. He should find out the layout and come to rescue people again, or rather not rescue people, just like Yongchang As the county leader said, it is not impossible to directly raise conditions when there is a shortage of food."

Huo Changhe had no objection, his face was as gloomy as water: "Mr. Mo."

"We previously suspected that Huo Changxian's horses were related to him, but he has not made any movement, and there is no trace of him in Lincheng, so we ignored them."

"Then why did he take away Yongchang County Lord?" Yan Ruyu didn't know why.

"He won't do useless work. Sooner or later, he will understand."

……

The Lord of Yongchang County woke up faintly and felt a pain in the wound. When he reached out and touched it, there was still blood on his hand.

If you look carefully, you can see that the clothes on his body have not been changed, and the wounds have not been bandaged.

I struggled to get up and wanted to look around, but suddenly I heard someone say: "Are you awake?"

She was stunned, and then she realized that there was someone else in the room. She was in a small room with a bead curtain in the middle, and someone was sitting outside, seemingly drinking tea.

"It's you."

She recognized him as the person who saved her last night.

"Where's my son?"

"Which son is the county chief referring to, Huo Changxian or your Zhao'er?"

The Lord of Yongchang County hummed: "Of course it's Zhao'er."

"Didn't you say that you have Zhao'er's whereabouts? Otherwise, why would I come with you?"

The people outside the bead curtain drank tea slowly, and after a while, they slowly said: "His whereabouts must still be traced to the county master."

The head of Yongchang County was stunned: "What do you mean?"

She struggled to get up and out of bed, but found that her legs had no strength. She had already exhausted all her strength just by struggling to sit up.

This doesn't feel right.

Even if she was hurt, she shouldn't be like this.

"It means that I don't know where your Zhao'er is, but if you are here, everything will be easier. I can use you to lure him here."

The head of Yongchang County was shocked: "What do you want to do to my Zhao'er?"

"Just talking about cooperation," the man put down his tea cup and opened the curtain to enter the room.

The Lord of Yongchang County looked carefully. He was standing against the light. He was tall, slightly thin, but very handsome. His skin was very white, the kind of pale that rarely sees the sun.

Between the eyebrows and eyes... there is a sense of familiarity, but I can't remember where I have seen it.

"Who are you? What do you want to talk to my son about?"

Mr. Mo pulled up the hood of his black cloak, covering his face.

The Lord of Yongchang County narrowed his eyes: "It's you!"
