Jixiang and Tian Muyu rushed to the palace, but they were still a step too late.

Zhao Dongnan and other guards were beaten black and blue, and none of them was intact.

Seeing Jixiang coming over, Zhao Dongnan hurried forward with his injured leg, "Miss, the young master has been kidnapped!"

"Who did this?" Tian Muyu's face turned cold instantly, and he looked like he wanted to tear that person to pieces.

“They were all masked.”

Jixiang looked around, "There are so many people arranged inside and outside the mansion, how did these people get in?"

"They didn't come in, they went out of the mansion!"

Jixiang was startled for a moment, "There is a tunnel in our house?!"

Xie Dongnan nodded helplessly.

When Jixiang and Tian Muyu saw the entrance to the tunnel, they both felt chilled in their hearts.

The entrance to the tunnel is actually in the nanny’s room!

At that time, there was only a nanny in the room feeding the little boy. If all three children were in the room, wouldn't the situation be even more dangerous?

Jixiang didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Tian Qiquan is really a rat. Did he dig an exit for every household in the capital? !

"I'm going to find the child. Princess, please take your people and move to the palace immediately!" Tian Muyu said as he hurried away with some guards.

Jixiang was a little annoyed. He stayed in the palace because he wanted to catch Tian Qiquan.

As a result, not only did they fail to catch him, but he also cut off their source of income and even captured one of his sons.

"Have you notified the imperial guards of the North and South Cities and King Annan and his men?" Jixiang asked.

Xie Dongnan said quickly, "We've notified everyone. Li Da has also led people to chase them. There aren't many of them, only a dozen or so."

"Come on, follow me to the tunnel!" Jixiang said and walked towards the nanny's room.

Xie Dongnan immediately called on his brothers to follow.

The tunnel in the nanny's room looked newly dug, and there was still some soil inside that had not been removed in time.

Jixiang bent down and walked along the tunnel, and found that the newly dug tunnel was about a hundred meters long. According to the specifications of the nanny's room and the palace, she guessed that the main tunnel should have been under the street outside the palace.

Tian Qiquan was also a smart man. Digging a tunnel under the main street of the imperial city was equivalent to digging a subway passage. Naturally, the people above would not be able to know about it.

Once he had dug the main tunnel, it would be easy for him to dig to anyone else's house.

But if her guess is correct, then who knows how many of Tian Qiquan's men are hiding under the tunnel.

Jixiang suddenly stopped.

Xie Dongnan was worried, "What did the young lady find out?"

"Go back!" Jixiang said immediately.

"We still don't know where the end of the tunnel is." Xie Dongnan said, "Why don't you go back first, Miss, and I'll take people to look ahead to see where the end of the tunnel is."

"No need to look any further. If we carefully check this tunnel, I'm afraid it will take us a whole day and a night to finish it. Xie Dongnan, go back and have everyone collect firewood immediately."

Xie Dongnan was a little confused.

Jixiang asked again, "Have all the tunnel exits we found before been blocked?"

“It’s all blocked.”

"What about those entrances?"

“They’re all blocked too!”

"Open all the entrances, I'll need them later!"

"Okay!" Xie Dongnan responded.

"Then let's get out quickly!"

After Jixiang brought Xie Dongnan and others out, he immediately asked someone to call King Annan and asked him to send people to guard all the streets in the city, not even alleys of dozens of meters.

If you see smoke coming out from somewhere, be sure to keep an eye out immediately. That is most likely the exit of the tunnel where Chao Tian Qiquan is hiding. Anyone who comes out must be captured.

King Annan had no doubts at all and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Soon, Xie Dongnan also brought people to find a large amount of firewood.

Jixiang ordered them to light firewood at all the tunnel entrances they found and create smoke in the tunnels.

Xie Dongnan and others immediately followed the instructions and soon lit wet firewood at the entrances of various tunnels that had been discovered in the city.

At the same time, Tian Muyu and his men were chasing those who took the little prince away.

Because those people were in a panic when they fled, they were naturally seen by others. So they asked along the way and chased them to the south gate of the city.

The South Gate had been closed at this time under the order of King Annan.

Tian Muyu rode over and asked, "Have you seen a few men carrying a baby out?"

The soldiers guarding the city shook their heads. "The city gates were closed an incense stick ago, and no man has ever taken a baby out!"

Tian Muyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Search!"

The guards immediately went door to door searching.

However, Tian Muyu quickly climbed up the city wall to see if those people were hiding on the roof.

As a result, when we looked up, we saw smoke rising from many places in the city.
