I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

The next day, Xiao Yang searched nearby for a whole day, but found nothing.

Half a day later, Zhuo Ling's condition was very bad and she was suffering from high fever. Faced with Bai Zhi who didn't know when she would be found, Xiao Yang gritted his teeth and decided to send Zhuo Ling to Cangzhou to join Zhuo Yao first.

Although the two of them did not deal with each other, they could never do anything without saving their lives.

At least, Xiao Yang called Zhuo Ling sister when he was a child, and she responded.

Xiao Yang galloped dozens of miles north and met Zhuo Yao who was coming with his troops. Surprisingly, Meng Ying is also on the team.

Zhuo Yao saw Zhuo Ling on Xiao Yang's back covered with bruises, and felt a dull pain in his heart. He almost staggered off the horse and snatched Zhuo Ling from Xiao Yang's hand.

"Sister, Zhuo Ling, how do you feel?" Zhuo Yao was very anxious.

Zhuo Ling's mind was groggy. When she heard Zhuo Yao's voice, she was filled with guilt and had no place to put it. Hot tears rolled out. She trembled, "Ayao, Ayao, I'm sorry, my sister lost her..."

Zhuo Yao didn't expect that she would say something like this, and he felt very confused, "Sister, stop talking, let's go look for you, rest first, it's okay... it's okay..."

But Meng Ying came closer and asked, "What does the princess mean by this?"

When Zhuo Ling heard Meng Ying's voice, she couldn't control her emotions. She broke out of Zhuo Yao's arms and knelt down to Meng Ying.

"Brother Salan, is it Ling'er's fault? She... I don't know... she suddenly disappeared... I'm sorry... It's Ling'er's fault..." Zhuo Ling started sobbing.

Meng Ying was a little panicked, but he could also see that Zhuo Ling's condition was very bad. He hurriedly helped her up, "Ling'er, get up quickly. Let the military doctor take a look first, okay?"

Zhuo Ling pulled Meng Ying weakly and nodded lightly.

The group set up a tent on the spot, and after settling down the weak and absent-minded Zhuo Ling, they gathered together to listen to Xiao Yang explain the specific situation.

Meng Ying gritted her teeth and gave an incisive summary, "In other words, these people dared to kidnap the princess only after they deliberately separated the two? They did not dare to touch Zhuo Ling, but they dared to touch the king's people, then they must be Zhuo family!"

After saying that, Meng Ying raised her eyes and looked at Zhuo Yao.

Zhuo Yao gasped heavily, and it took all his strength to suppress every breath of anger. "What evidence does the prince have? What if Zhuo Ling escaped by chance?"

Meng Ying was not swayed by Zhuo Yao's anger. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, let's just discuss the matter. Wild boars are reckless, but they are not stupid. Why do they go to the stone formation in groups? Let's check it out tomorrow. After a while, you can see the difference."

After Meng Ying finished speaking, she felt a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath. He let out a long sigh and said, "They are coming for Sa Lan."

Xiao Yang glanced at Meng Ying and then at Zhuo Yao, feeling a little uneasy. It's rare for the prince to speak so straightforwardly in front of Zhuo Yao today. The prince's attitude towards the Zhennan Palace has always been to avoid it whenever possible.

Zhuo Yao obviously noticed it, and he asked directly, "Master, you are so straightforward in inferring, aren't you afraid of being overheard by me? I, Zhuo Yao, am also a member of the Zhuo family!"

Meng Ying smiled and said, "I'm not afraid."

Zhuo Yao didn't know what the simple word "not afraid" meant. He froze in place for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

After saying this, Meng Ying and Xiao Yang left the tent.

After Zhuo Ling woke up, Meng Ying made some inquiries and confirmed his guess.

Meng Ying made a detailed search plan and returned to her tent.

Not long after, Xiao Yang also followed in.

Meng Ying leaned on the bedside in the darkness, with a depressed look on her face, "Xiao Yang, it was Sa Lan who harmed her."

"My lord, this has nothing to do with you!" Xiao Yang denied it hurriedly.

Meng Ying smiled helplessly. This topic was too heavy and he didn't want to continue talking about it.

He concentrated and discussed the investigation results of the Quzhou cult with Xiao Yang.

Meng Ying suddenly sat up from the bed, "You mean, there is someone in the cult in Quzhou who can kill people silently under your hands?"

Xiao Yang said: "Yes."

After saying that, Xiao Yang suddenly realized, "They are the same group of people?"

Meng Ying nodded and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow I will go see what they are doing! Call everyone from the Shadow Pavilion."

"Yes, Your Majesty, but..." Xiao Yang hesitated.

"You speak."

"My lord, the autumn hunt is coming, and their target is you. You shouldn't be in danger."

Xiao Yang was very worried about something unexpected happening to Meng Ying. In the past, he was confident that he could protect the prince, but now that someone could take Bai Zhi away under his nose, he seemed to have suddenly lost this confidence.

Meng Ying smiled lightly, with a complicated look in her eyes, "I have a sense of propriety."

Meng Ying's smile was reassuring.

Xiao Yang also felt that Meng Ying was not a careless person, so he was relieved.

After Xiao Yang left, Meng Ying's smile froze on her face, and then disappeared little by little.

He slowly clenched his fists and punched the bed.

boom--

Bai Zhi was awakened by a loud noise.

Before she could recover, she saw the person beside her being knocked to the ground as soon as she opened her eyes. The person tightly covered one side of his face and looked at the person in front of him in horror, trembling.

There was a man standing in front of him. The man was very tall and looked very expensive in a moon-white brocade robe.

He waved his hand to his subordinates and shouted, "Kill~"

This person's voice sounded very feminine, but not exactly like a woman's. It didn't sound very courageous, but it made people feel cold.

When Bai Zhi woke up, she felt a strange fear.

She was lying on a big soft bed, which was clean and fragrant. The decoration of the room can be called magnificent, not antique and elegant, but as open and bright as a hall.

But the strange thing was that she smelled blood in this fragrant environment. There were many maids standing around with their heads bowed. From the corner of Bai Zhi's eyes, she felt that everyone was trembling and radiating fear.

The man turned around and saw Bai Zhi opening her eyes, walking forward with a smile, and said: "Miss Bai, you're awake!"

Bai Zhi was shocked. This person had the tough lines of a man and the beauty of a woman. It could be said that he could not tell the difference between male and female.

But from this indistinguishable beauty, he could not feel any closeness as a human being.

Like an animal's instinct, Bai Zhi instinctively shrank back, just wanting to stay as far away from the person in front of her as possible.

Seeing her move, the man's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Then he calmed down and said with a smile: "Girl, are you hungry?"

Bai Zhi shrank back again, and her body began to tremble.

This man exudes a dangerous aura, which Bai Zhi can feel even if she doesn't practice martial arts.

Bai Zhi's frightened look was completely reflected in the man's eyes.

The man chuckled and stretched out his hand towards Bai Zhi, "Miss Bai, come here, I will take you to have a meal."

Bai Zhi cautiously asked, "Who are you?"

The man still smiled, "I asked you first. Do you understand the order of precedence? Do you understand the difference between superiority and inferiority?"

Before Bai Zhi could react, the man seemed to have suddenly changed his face, and his indistinguishable face instantly became ferocious and terrifying.

He suddenly climbed onto the bed, grabbed Bai Zhi's hair, and dragged Bai Zhi under the bed.

Bai Zhi screamed and was thrown to the ground.

The man kicked Bai Zhi several times on her legs, causing Bai Zhi to roll on the ground in pain.

Seeing that it was almost done, the man knelt down, grabbed Bai Zhi's hair, and said: "From now on, when I ask you questions, you should give me a good answer. Do you understand?"

Bai Zhi finally realized that this person is crazy.
