the other side,

After a night of searching, they finally found out the news about Prince Xiang.

But the news is not good.

In the palace, Prince Xiang and the emperor were all waiting for news. Prince Xiang was also going to go outside the city, but because he had no military force and would be a hindrance, he was persuaded by the emperor to stay.

At this time, there was no news for a long time, and King Xiang was even more anxious as if his eyebrows were on fire.

Finally, Shadow returned to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Prince, after careful investigation, we finally found your Highness's whereabouts. However, when we investigated near the cliff, the traces were cut off."

"The prince must have been assassinated. I have not yet contacted the shadow guards around him. The blood on the ground also belongs to the shadow guards. The shadow guards must have died. I just don't know if there are any survivors."

The Emperor and Prince Xiang both understood what Shadow meant. As long as the Shadow Guard was there, Shen Zhuo would never have to worry about his life. As long as the Shadow Guard was there, Shen Zhuo was there.

However, what they were worried about was whether all the shadow guards had met with accidents.

"Immediately send people to search the bottom of the cliff and the surrounding area, expand the search range, and make sure to find the prince." The emperor gave the order without saying a word.

It is winter now and the danger is even greater. We must not allow any accidents to happen due to untimely rescue.

"Yes, I accept your order."

As soon as the shadow left, the emperor turned around and met a pair of red, swollen, tearful eyes.

Knowing that Prince Xiang was worried, the emperor could only comfort him, "Yingzi has taken people to look for it. The bloodstains on the ground are not from Changan. We should trust Changan."

"Moreover, Chang'an did not use the royal emergency signal, and the shadow guards did not use it either, which means that Chang'an's life is not in danger yet."

"What we need to do now is to stay calm. Changan is not someone who would joke with his own life. Since he did not use the emergency summon, it means that Changan is confident."

"What you need to do now is to go home and comfort your brother and sister-in-law, and wait for news."

After much difficulty in pacifying Prince Xiang and persuading him to return home, the Emperor still did not relax and even sent another team of shadow guards.

In fact, he was not as calm as he said. He was more worried that the reason Chang'an did not use the emergency summons was because he simply did not have time to use it, not because he was sure.

Obviously, Prince Xiang was also worried about this, so after returning home to appease Princess Xiang, he went outside the city in person.

During this period, every household in Yanjing was cautious in what they said and did, for fear of bringing bad luck and getting into trouble.

Anyone with eyes can see that something strange has happened in Yanjing in recent times. The number of people leaving the city every day has increased dramatically, and the leaders are not ordinary people. Some people have recognized the commander of the imperial guards and have tightened their necks to behave themselves.

Although I am curious in my heart, I cannot be curious when it comes to my life.

Not only the common people of Yanjing, but also the ministers who knew something about it kept their mouths shut and did not get involved in the matter.

Because the emperor had been in a bad mood recently, all the court officials were also trembling with fear and felt insecure.

Even the atmosphere in the Marquis' Mansion was not good. Although Shen Zhuo's health had improved and he no longer had a fever.

but,

"Boss, news has come from Yancheng that the Royal Shadow Guards have already arrived in Yancheng. Our people were injured, but fortunately their lives are not in danger." Ayi's face was heavy.

Gu Jue's face was not looking good either, his eyes were dark.

"Sure enough, I underestimated the Royal Shadow Guards. They were able to find Yancheng without leaving any traces or clues."

"Notify the brothers in Yancheng to destroy all traces and evacuate urgently."

"Yes."

"By the way, have you dealt with his shadow guards?"

“They have all been transferred.”

Gu Jue nodded, and kept recalling the details bit by bit in her mind. She could ensure that all the links were foolproof and there would be no accidents.

Half a month has passed now, and it is even less likely that the royal family has found Yancheng. She is sure that she did not leave any traces, and she has not been able to find her for a long time. The royal family should not be so sure, and they would not find Yancheng and hurt her people.

What's the problem?

Suddenly, Gu Jue thought of something and frowned. Could it be that there was a signal that was not sent out at that time?

That's why the royal family was so determined to search for him at all costs.

She knew that many noble families had their own exclusive signals, and she had one too.

However, the signal was interrupted by her before it was sent out.

There was no chance of them being released after that, as all their clothes had been changed and their bodies were heavy and weak, and the people she sent to watch over them were cautious and would never give them a chance to pass on any information.

Since there is no chance to pass the message to the Royal Shadow Guards, how did the royal people find Yancheng?

Could it be that they also have people who can taming beasts?

Yes, only with this possibility could they find Yancheng. Animals’ sense of smell is more sensitive than humans’, and some animals’ sense of smell is dozens of times that of humans.

Since there is such a strange person in their village, there must be one in the royal family.

So far, the capabilities of the royal family have far exceeded her expectations.

Since they are a royal family that has been able to defend the country for hundreds of years, it is not surprising that they have such capabilities.

It was her who underestimated the enemy.

"Hajime."

"exist."

Gu Jue waved his hand, and Ayi moved closer to Gu Jue, and then he heard a very low voice in his ear.

"Notify Yancheng that the royal family may have beast masters. Ask them to pay attention to the smell when handling Yancheng's affairs. As for the brothers in Yancheng, ask them to use the mother-in-law's method to confuse the smell and try to take the road with more people."

Ah Yi was slightly surprised to hear that there were people in the royal family who could taming beasts. He had always thought that only people in their village could do it.

At this moment, Hajime also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Yes."
