Chen Yunzhi glanced at the direction the black bead was flying, then looked at the map:

“I don’t know how long that guy has been on the run, but judging from the direction he’s heading, he’s heading towards Xiqi Kyoto.

Nannan, let Jingnian stay in Kyoto and ask him to protect the Xiqi Emperor and not let Zhu Cihou and his son cause any harm."

"Okay, mom. I'll go into the space and talk to my brother right now."

Speak of Cao Cao, here comes Cao Cao. As soon as Qin Wan finished speaking, Qin Jingnian's voice rang in his mind:

"Sister, when you are not busy, come to this space. I have something to tell you."

"Here I come, bro."

Qin Wan entered the space.

"What's up, brother?"

"The Emperor Xiqi is missing."

"Ah? Did you go to Kyoto and meet him?"

“Before I had the chance to meet him, I heard from the palace that the emperor had disappeared.

I thought it was a rumor, so I sneaked into the palace and looked around, and found that Shangguan Hong was really missing.

Without the leader of the group of dragons, the court of Western Qi was in chaos.

Sister, do you think Shangguan Hong will not be murdered by the Changsheng Cult? "

Qin Wan:

"Brother, don't worry, just stay in Kyoto and tell me any news.

My parents and I are tracking Zhu Cihou, and judging from his direction, he is heading towards Kyoto.

We will meet in Kyoto then."

Kyoto.

Although the ministers tried their best to conceal the fact that the emperor suddenly disappeared without any warning, the news still spread to all parts of Kyoto.

Even the street vendors knew that the emperor was missing.

Not only did the emperor disappear, but even his personal eunuchs and guards disappeared.

A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. If the emperor is absent for a few days, the ministers can still help take over for a few days.

If you disappear for too long, it will be difficult for the country to remain stable.

What's worse is that the emperor has been weak since childhood and is not very old. He has many concubines in the harem, but no children.

Finding the emperor is urgent.

Several ministers discussed it and decided that since the news could not be concealed, they might as well mobilize the people to search for the emperor together.

Official notices were posted everywhere in Kyoto, announcing that anyone who could provide information on the emperor's whereabouts would be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver once verified.

The power of silver is enormous, and all of a sudden, people from all over Kyoto started a craze to find the emperor.

The craze even spread to prefectures surrounding Kyoto.

When Qin Wan and his party arrived in Kyoto, they saw a scene of the whole nation searching for the emperor.

When the three saw the notice posted at the city gate offering a reward of 10,000 taels of silver to anyone who found the emperor, they were so surprised that their eyes widened.

Qin Min'an sighed:

"Ha, Minister Xiqi really does things differently."

"Dad, Mom, Sister, I'm here."

On the second floor of the inn facing the street, Qin Jingnian saw his family and excitedly leaned out to greet them.

The three were about to get off the carriage and go to the inn when Qin Jingnian suddenly shouted:

"Don't get out of the car, I'll be right down."

After saying that, he ran out of the inn and got into the carriage.

"Mother, sister, the latest news is that someone saw Shangguan Hong in the imperial mausoleum. Let's go there and look for him quickly."

Qin Wan: "Is this news reliable?"

“It’s reliable. The person who told this news was the grave keeper of the imperial mausoleum. He saw it with his own eyes, so it can’t be false.

The prime minister of Western Qi has already rushed to the imperial mausoleum with his ministers.

Prime Minister Zhao is Shangguan Hong's confidant.

Didn’t Shangguan Hong tell us when he came to Dayue last time that if we couldn’t find him in Xiqi, we should go find Prime Minister Zhao?

I found Prime Minister Zhao with the token given by the Emperor of Xiqi.

Prime Minister Zhao didn't ask any questions, he just said he would inform me as soon as there was any news.

Prime Minister Zhao was originally going to take me to the Imperial Mausoleum, but I didn’t go because I wanted to wait for you guys.”

Qin Min'an poked his head in from outside the carriage:

"So should we go find Zhu Cihou or Shangguan Hong now?"

Chen Yunzhi:

"Let's search separately. You and I will look for Zhu Cihou, while Nannan and Jingnian will go to the imperial mausoleum to look for Shangguan Hong."

Everyone agreed and then went their separate ways.

Qin Jingnian brought Qin Wan to the outside of the imperial mausoleum.

At this time, a group of Western Qi ministers were standing outside the imperial mausoleum.

The leader was a white-haired old man, who was Prime Minister Zhao, the head of all officials in Western Qi.

Prime Minister Zhao is asking the gravekeeper:

"When did you see the emperor? Where was the emperor last seen?"

Gravekeeper:

"It was about 1:00 am today. I had just finished cleaning the area outside the imperial mausoleum when I saw the emperor hurriedly entering the mausoleum."

"What?" Prime Minister Zhao frowned.

"You said the emperor entered the imperial mausoleum?"

"Yes, not only me, but also the two soldiers guarding the entrance of the imperial mausoleum saw it."

The gravekeeper said this, pointing to the two soldiers behind him.

Without waiting for Prime Minister Zhao to ask, the two took the initiative to say:

"Your Excellency, I did see the Emperor enter the Imperial Mausoleum."

Prime Minister Zhao's old face showed deep confusion. Why was the emperor entering the imperial mausoleum for no reason?

Still alone?

Now is not the time to think about these things, Prime Minister Zhao quickly arranged for people to go to the imperial mausoleum to find the emperor.

"Prime Minister Zhao, Prime Minister Zhao, I'm here."

Qin Jingnian pulled Qin Wan through the crowd and walked to Prime Minister Zhao.

"Prime Minister Zhao, this is my sister Qin Wan. Let's go together to see the emperor."

As soon as Shangguan Hong returned to Xiqi, he told Prime Minister Zhao about his cooperation with the Qin family.

Prime Minister Zhao also learned something about the Qin family's abilities from the emperor.

When seeing the brother and sister, Prime Minister Zhao was still quite polite.

"Please wait here, my two friends. I have already sent people to the imperial mausoleum to look for the emperor."

Since it had been confirmed that the emperor had entered the imperial mausoleum, everyone thought that the emperor would be found soon.

As a result, after waiting for nearly half an hour, there was no sound from the person who went in to look for it.

Prime Minister Zhao was anxious.

"What's going on? Why haven't you come out yet?"

"younger sister……."

Qin Jingnian glanced at Qin Wan, who understood and released his mental power to investigate the imperial mausoleum.

However, after entering the imperial mausoleum for several hundred meters, they were blocked outside by an invisible force.

Qin Wan was surprised.

The imperial tomb of Xiqi is not simple.

Qin Jingnian noticed Qin Wan's abnormality and asked in a low voice:

"what happened?"

Qin Wan shook her head:

"I can't see it. There's a force blocking it."

"Who are you? Stop! No one is allowed to approach the imperial mausoleum."

Qin Wan was wondering what that power was, when she suddenly heard a loud shout not far away.

Then Chen Yunzhi's voice rang in her mind:

"Nannan, your mother and I are blocked outside. Please come and pick us up."

Are my parents here too?

Didn’t they go after Zhu Cihou?

So Zhu Cihou came to the imperial mausoleum?

Qin Wan ran to the place guarded by the soldiers with doubts, took out the gold medal given by the Emperor of Xiqi, and brought the couple in.

Sure enough, Chen Yunzhi's next words confirmed Qin Wan's previous conjecture:

"Nannan, your father and I followed Black Pearl all the way. Black Pearl went around in circles in the city and finally came to this place.

The last place where Zhu Cihou disappeared was in the imperial mausoleum."

Qin Min'an: "Didn't Jingnian say that Shangguan Hong was also in the imperial mausoleum? Zhu Cihou must have come here to harm Shangguan Hong.

We have to find Shangguan Hong quickly."

Qin Wan told the two about the abnormal energy fluctuations in the imperial mausoleum that he had just felt.
