At the same time, some strange signs appeared in the capital. Some officials disappeared inexplicably, some confidential documents were stolen, and the entire court fell into chaos.

Emperor Rong Sheng was furious.

All these things added up to make Emperor Rong Sheng extremely anxious.

This is not an ordinary case, there must be some force behind it.

Lin Muheng also felt unprecedented pressure.

Yao Ruolan has not been found yet, and Hong, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, has disappeared on his way to work.

Lin Muheng decided to investigate the truth behind these events.

He secretly sent people to collect clues, but always encountered obstacles at critical moments.

At the same time, the situation in the court became increasingly tense, and the ministers speculated about the purpose of this mysterious force.

Just when Lin Muheng was at a loss, Jiang He got an important clue.

Embroidered shoes believed to belong to Yao Ruolan were found deep in the mountains.

"Search the mountain immediately!" Lin Muheng breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is a clue, it is better than everyone searching aimlessly without any clue.

Jiang He brought the Imperial Guards, and Lin Muheng brought a team of secret guards.

They headed towards the mountains.

"Your Highness!" Jiang He found another woman's bellyband.

This……

If it really was Yao Ruolan, her life would be ruined.

"Go on!" Lin Muheng's face was gloomy.

At this moment, there was suddenly a noise coming from the front.

A faint voice of "Help" was heard.

Jiang He waved his hand and the Royal Guards quickly stopped.

You can't scare the snake away.

Lin Muheng ordered Jiang He to stay on standby, and he led a team of people to quietly approach the person who was shouting for help.

He flew over and saw a cave behind a large rock.

Two men in black were guarding the entrance to the cave.

A woman can be vaguely seen with her hands tied behind her back.

His face and body were covered in blood.

Lin Muheng was looking for an opportunity to lure the two away.

He threw a stone and hit the tree behind the man in black.

The man in black looked up and saw no other sound except the sound of wind blowing the leaves.

The man in black shook his head.

It must be his illusion.

Lin Muheng's heart sank. It seemed he had to find another way.

He quietly signaled the guards behind him to prepare for action.

At this moment, a strong wind blew, rustling the leaves. Lin Muheng suddenly had an idea, and he opened his mouth and let out a wolf howl.

One of the men in black looked around vigilantly, while the other said impatiently, "Where did the stray dog ​​come from? Leave it alone..." Before he could finish his words, Lin Muheng led the guards to pounce on the men in black like a tiger. The men in black were caught off guard, and after a fierce battle, the two men in black were subdued.

Lin Muheng rushed into the cave, untied the ropes on the woman, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?" The woman raised her head, her eyes full of fear. When she saw that it was Prince Yu, her eyes quickly filled with joy.

This person is indeed Yao Ruolan.

Yao Ruolan wanted to hug Prince Yu.

Lin Muheng dodged it immediately.

Yao Ruolan was greatly disappointed.

And Lin Muheng frowned.

He didn't know Yao Ruolan, let alone know how she felt about him.

"Do you know how many people are imprisoned here?"

Lin Muheng was anxious, but he was not angry at Yao Ruolan's unreasonable behavior.

He wanted to find out what was going on inside as quickly as possible.

Yao Ruolan suddenly felt very aggrieved: "No, I'm the only one."

"Have you always been alone?" Lin Muheng asked.

"Yes!" Yao Ruolan said.

At this time Jiang He also came over.

Yao Ruolan's face darkened visibly.

She thought of Jiang Chuwei.

Just now, Lin Muheng avoided her and wanted to cut off ties with her.

When I think about the fact that all this is for Jiang Chuwei.

Yao Ruolan was very unhappy.

She also disliked her brother.

Jiang He sensed Yao Ruolan's hostility, but it was obvious that he was very dependent on Prince Yu.

Jiang He looked at Yao Ruolan as if she was a fool.

It seems like another nymphomaniac.

In this situation, he still looked down on her anyway.

This may be because he was scared.

Yao Ruolan was not frightened.

It had been five days since she was captured.

The first day was really scary.

She thought these men in black would destroy her innocence, but unexpectedly, these people just locked her up here and didn't do anything to her.

And he served her delicious food and drinks.

The blood just now was just a cover-up, it was just a mere splash of blood.

Gradually, Yao Ruolan was not so scared anymore.

She kept waiting, waiting for her father and grandfather to send someone to rescue her.

Just now she thought that Prince Yu was a bad guy who came to take her away.

Unexpectedly, Prince Yu came in person to rescue her.

Yao Ruolan was ecstatic. What kind of fate was this?

In Shangjing, it was very difficult for Yao Ruolan to meet the prince.

Now he has come like a hero to rescue her.

He had imagined the scene of reuniting with Lin Muheng many times.

But they never thought that they would meet under such circumstances.

"You are the only one locked up?" Lin Muheng frowned and confirmed again.

Yao Ruolan: "I haven't seen anyone else in these five days."

Seeing that she didn't sound false, Lin Muheng didn't ask any more questions.

He was sure that this person was Miss Yao from the Taifu family.

But everyone present knew that things might not be that simple.

He turned to look at Jiang He, "Have you found any other clues nearby?"

Jiang He clasped his fists and said, "I have already had people search everywhere, and there is nothing unusual. But based on my intuition, there must be something strange about this matter."

Lin Muheng nodded, and his eyes swept around sharply. He always felt that there was a strange atmosphere here, as if a huge secret was hidden.

"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's send Miss Yao back home first and then make plans." Lin Muheng made a prompt decision.

"Yes, Your Highness." Jiang He responded respectfully, and then arranged for someone to escort Yao Ruolan away.

Although Yao Ruolan felt reluctant, she also understood that this was not the time to be sentimental.

Her body trembled slightly, and a look of loneliness appeared on her face, but she soon smiled again.

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. I am very grateful."

She looked at Lin Muheng with gratitude, then left with the guards.

Watching Yao Ruolan's figure disappear from his sight, Lin Muheng's brows furrowed even more tightly.

What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this kidnapping?

We had not walked far when rocks from the mountain began to roll down madly.

"Ah!" Yao Ruolan's voice was full of fear.

"Looking for death!" Jiang He cursed inwardly.

Pull Yao Ruolan over and protect her behind you.

Yao Ruolan looked pale.

If she had dodged a step slower, she would have been smashed into a meat patty.

Yao Ruolan looked at Jiang He viciously.

Jiang He looked puzzled.

He came to save her, but instead of being grateful, she acted as if he owed her a million dollars. How could this man be so annoying?

Since she didn't know what was good for her, Jiang He didn't protect her anymore and just ran forward by himself.

"Wait for me!" Yao Ruolan's tone was full of anger.

Jiang He glanced at her, ignored her, and continued on his way.

Yao Ruolan was scared.

She followed closely behind the guards.

At this time, Lin Muheng had caught up.

"Stand where you are!"

Lin Muheng ordered.

Jiang He was puzzled: "Aren't you leaving?"

If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave when it gets dark.

"Just now the boulder rolled down and there is no more movement. If we go forward, there must be traps. We can't move forward rashly before we figure it out."

Lin Muheng said.

Jiang He also knew this truth: "But before we find out the details of the enemy, we should get away as soon as possible."

Jiang He expressed his views.

Lin Muheng: "Are you familiar with the terrain in this area?"

Jiang He was speechless.

If you ask him how many brothels there are in Beijing, he can answer fluently.

If you ask him about the terrain in this remote area, how could he possibly know?

"You don't know, right? Then stay where you are!"

Lin Muheng didn't want to take this risk.

Since there has been no further news from those people, it means they are waiting for the opportunity.

Since we are here now, how can we know their true identities if we don’t fight with them?

Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I will follow your orders."

Yao Ruolan looked at Prince Yu.

She also wanted to stay with Prince Yu for some time, but what she wanted most now was to go home.

If I don't leave and stay here, won't it be more dangerous?

Prince Yu did not ask for her opinion, but he saw it clearly.

This woman just doesn't know what's good for her.

They treat their saviors with a cold and hostile attitude.

It’s just that Prince Yu didn’t want to bother with her.

Today, the terrain is unclear.

The kidnappers stopped making any movement.

If these people really set an ambush, they would suffer huge losses. Yao Ruolan's life is her life, and the lives of the Royal Guards and the secret guards are also their lives.

Jiang He is his future brother-in-law.

Prince Yu didn't want him to lose his life even more.

He didn't want to make Jiang Chuwei sad.

Thinking of Jiang Chuwei, Prince Yu's heart softened.

Their wedding day is coming soon.

She should be as excited as I am!

Thinking of this, Lin Muheng became even more alert.

He has to be fine and not get hurt.

He had to rush back before getting married.

Yao Ruolan also wanted Prince Yu to change his mind.

She wants to go home.

"Your Highness!" The delicate voice seemed to be dripping with water.

Jiang He shuddered.

Is this woman crazy?

It’s already this time, what are you still thinking about?

But I can't stuff her mouth. Wouldn't that be the same as being a kidnapper?

However, strangely enough, these kidnappers were quite humane and did not do anything to Yao Ruolan.

Logically speaking, Yao Ruolan was not bad looking and was a noble lady from the capital. These kidnappers liked such women the most.

They usually come into contact with people in the mountains.

How could he resist attacking the noble lady from the capital?

The only explanation is that their target is not women.

They have other intentions.

Jiang He threw out a bellyband: "Is this thing yours?"

Yao Ruolan blushed: "No."

After saying this, she glanced at Prince Yu awkwardly.

Jiang He was angry. Is this guy sick? Is now the time for romance?

He and Lin Muheng looked at each other.

The two walked to the side, and Jiang He asked, "What should we do next?"

Lin Muheng: "We can't be led by them, we must take the initiative. If this bellyband is not Miss Yao's, then it must belong to someone else, which means there are other women on this mountain."

"But you said you only kidnapped her?"

"It is possible that they are detained separately." Lin Muheng said.

"Detain them separately?" Jiang He was a little skeptical.

For women like Yao Ruolan, they don't have to put in much effort to scare them.

Are you afraid that they will run away?

This is a deep mountain, and it would be difficult for them to get out if they didn't bring a compass.

What about weak women!

"Their target is not women, but us."

Lin Muheng analyzed.

Jiang He nodded.

"But it's not easy for us to move with her." Jiang He pursed his lips.

"Find a chance to send her down the mountain." Lin Muheng decided.

Leaving Yao Ruolan here would only hold them back.

"But if we send her down the mountain directly, it might alert the kidnappers." Jiang He said worriedly.

Lin Muheng was silent for a moment, with a sly look in his eyes. "We can create chaos and let a few Royal Guards take her away."

Jiang He's eyes lit up, "Good idea! But...how do we implement it?"

Lin Muheng whispered a few words in Jiang He's ear, and Jiang He nodded repeatedly after listening.

It was late at night and the forest was silent. Lin Muheng and Jiang He acted according to the plan, while Yao Ruolan nervously waited for the opportunity to escape.

Apart from throwing out huge rocks that rolled down, there was no other movement from the other side.

Does this mean they dare not act rashly?

Lin Muheng really didn't dare to act rashly.

He would not joke about the lives of hundreds of people.

Since those people won't move, let's find a way to lure them out.

Lin Muheng signaled several soldiers to quietly go behind the enemy and light some dry branches. Smoke gradually spread, accompanied by flickering flames.

"Fire! Fire!" A cry rang out in the forest.

I saw a group of men in black rushing out from their hiding place and running towards the direction of the fire.

Seeing this, Lin Muheng made a gesture and asked someone to quickly protect Yao Ruolan and break out down the mountain.

However, just as they were about to escape successfully, a cold arrow shot at Yao Ruolan.

Lin Muheng cursed inwardly and immediately threw a dart out.

The dart hit the arrow, and the arrow head deviated from its direction and flew out from the side of Yao Ruolan's ear.

Yao Ruolan screamed.

Jiang He yelled, "Shut up if you don't want to die."

Doesn't this reveal your position?

Yao Ruolan shut up immediately.

Since those people didn't try to kill her these days, he thought they didn't dare to kill her.

Little did she know that these people had no moral principles. If the arrow had not deviated a little, she would have gone to meet the King of Hell.

When it comes to a matter of life and death, Yao Ruolan is no longer so pretentious.

She followed closely behind the Royal Guards.

Sometimes he looked at Lin Muheng pleadingly.

At this time, she was still thinking that if Lin Muheng rescued her and brought her home, it would definitely arouse everyone's curiosity.

I wonder if Lin Muheng was moved by her sincerity and risked his life to escort her personally.

Yao Ruolan prayed silently in her heart, hoping to return to the capital safely.

Suddenly, she heard a sound of fighting coming from the front, and was startled. Could there be an ambush? She looked at Lin Muheng nervously, but found that he looked calm.

Lin Muheng turned to look at Jiang He, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they were lured out.

If the enemy is always in the dark and they are in the light, they will fall into the enemy's trap if they are not careful.

Jiang He rushed forward with all his strength.

These kidnappers are making fun of them.

Several imperial guards took advantage of the chaos to break Yao Ruolan out of the encirclement.

Lin Muheng and Jiang He rushed towards the kidnappers together.

Judging from their actions, these people are not ordinary bandits.

Lin Muheng wanted to go straight to their lair to see what they were trying to do and how many people were imprisoned there?

With Lin Muheng and Jiang He's desperate fighting style, they quickly rushed into the bandits' lair.

However, the bandit’s den was in a mess, with no trace of bandits at all…
