When a passerby becomes a princess

The disappearance of the prince is no small matter, and everyone panicked for a while.

No matter how much everyone looks down on this prince, and even beats him in their hearts, everyone knows that the prince's disappearance may cause chaos in the court, and privately, it may be the disaster of the nine clans.

Fortunately, most of these people have experienced strong winds and waves, and quickly calmed down.

It is impossible for Liang Xi to be captured by an outsider.Because on the first day they stayed in the inn, they rented out two connected courtyards. Su Ye and several disciples placed countless organs in these two courtyards. Neither the groom nor the groom knew how to get in.Su Ye firmly believed that the person who could pass through his trap without being discovered had not yet been born.

Then they called the waiter from the shop, and after inquiring, they learned that no one came to look for Liang Xi today, nor did anyone leave a message or anything like that.

Then there is only one possibility, Liang Xi went out by himself.

The pieces of paper on the table were sent to Taifu Li. After his "exhausted effort" to identify and interpret, everyone finally knew that this was some analysis of the murder case in the morning.

"There is a lantern missing outside, could His Royal Highness have gone to the scene of the crime?" Chen Fan still had a cold face, but his heart was anxious.

Chen Jian is the eldest prince's companion. If the eldest prince is still alive and succeeds to the throne in the future, the Chen family will naturally rise, but it is a pity that the eldest prince is dead.Chen Jian seems to have a bright future now, but she is actually not stable.If Liang Xi came to the throne in the future, Chen Jian, who had no relationship with him, might fall at any time. This is why the Chen family tried every means to send Chen Fan to be their master.Now I just hope that the crown prince is fine, otherwise the emperor will lay dead for thousands of miles in a rage, how can the little Chen family stop it.

"It's late at night, what are you doing at the scene of the crime?" That's what Su Ye said, and he and Chen Fan brought two disciples to check.

Chen Fan quickly found traces of fire and some black paper ash from the ground in the alley.

Su Ye and two disciples jumped into the courtyard on both sides to check. On one side was the warehouse of a grain store. At this time, the grain had just arrived, and the grain from the south had not yet arrived, so several warehouses were empty, smelling like they hadn't opened for a long time. musty.On the other side is the kitchen backyard of the Nursing Home. There is a small firewood room with some firewood piled in it, and a few pieces of bacon hanging on the beam.

Su Ye and Chen Fan returned to the inn and finished talking about the discovery in the alley in detail, and everyone was silent.

The traces of fire and paper ashes should be left by the lantern that Liang Xi took, because candles are more expensive, and the lanterns in the inn all use oil lamps, and when the lantern falls, the oil is scattered on the ground, and it is burned by the fire traces will be left.As for the reason why Liang Xi went to the alley, it was naturally to investigate the case.

Even though Liang Xi's life and death are unknown now, everyone still couldn't help but beat him up again in their hearts. How could the prince run away alone in the middle of the night in order to investigate the case, at least he should bring a few people with him!

Lin Qiu lowered his eyes and listened quietly to everyone's analysis. After they finished speaking, he slowly stood up and said, "Nurse Pang, you take someone to guard the city gate, and you will inquire about the situation tonight. Is anyone out of the city?" Then he said to Su Ye: "Uncle, go to father's camp on horseback, tell father about the prince's disappearance, and ask father to send two thousand soldiers over."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and instantly understood that this was to prevent the prince from being kidnapped and used to threaten the border army. If it was a certain family, it would be fine. If it was a spy of Hu State, the border war might break out immediately.

Lin Qiu turned his head and said to Nanny Liu: "Take out the imperial decree and the crown prince's seal. As soon as the soldiers arrive, Taifu Li will go to the county government to announce the identity of the crown prince. Master Chen will lead the troops to seal off the entire county. No one is allowed to move around. House by house will be searched."

Liang Xi is not here. Although Lin Qiu is only under 12 years old, but the status of the crown princess is the highest here, everyone naturally obeys his orders. Nanny Pang brings Su Ye's eight registered disciples to guard the four city gates. Ye took the county magistrate's warrant and went out of the city overnight to the border camp.

Taifu Li has been observing Lin Qiu, and nothing can be seen on his calm face, but from his strict arrangement, Taifu Li once again affirmed the idea of ​​"more wisdom and closer to demons".Of course he didn't know that everything Lin Qiu had arranged was just a conversion from a mission of "catching the snitch in the capital".

The rest of the people didn't rest, they sat in the room and waited for the news.Nanny Liu tried to persuade Lin Qiu to take a break many times to no avail, so she stood aside and gritted her teeth secretly, hating Liang Xi half to death in her heart.

And at this time, Liang Xi woke up in a small forest. He sat up from a pit in a daze. He, and then he recalled everything that had happened before.

Although those two people spoke behind the wall, Liang Xi could still recognize the voice of one of them, which was the steward of the Nursing Home.

Liang Xi remembered that when the steward was questioned, his face was frighteningly pale. At that time, he thought it was because someone was dead, and he was afraid in his heart. Looking back now, the steward's eyeballs kept rolling back and forth when he was answering, it was not just Because of fear, it was more of a panicked expression trying to cover up something.

From the conversation between the two last night, it can be heard that they seem to be transporting some kind of undiscovered cargo, and this cargo is likely to be a little boy like Lin Qiu.

"These bastards, we must kill them when we go back." Liang Xi couldn't help but slammed his fist on the ground, and dared to covet Lin Qiu, this is definitely courting death!

Looking up at the sky, the sky is full of stars, and I don't know what time it is.Touching the back of his head, there is a bulging meat bun. Fortunately, there is no bleeding, but why is he sitting in this pit?Liang Xi stood up, the dirt on his body fell down, and when he patted his hair, even the hair was covered with dirt.

Liang Xi's face turned green involuntarily. Could it be that he was buried alive?Seeing that the pit was no higher than knees, it was just big enough to bury a person, but where did the person who buried him go?Why did you leave before you finished burying it?

Thinking of this, Liang Xi hurriedly left the pit and walked towards the woods. Even though the small woods might not be safe in the dark, it was much better than staying where he was. Who knows where the person who was going to bury him alive went? What should I do when I come back?It would be fine if there was only one person, but if there were several, Liang Xi thought to himself that it would be safer to hide without the martial arts of Su Hongyi and Lin Yue.

He couldn't tell the direction in the dark, he walked blindly for a long time, until the sky gradually brightened, he finally found a direction, thinking about getting out of the woods first.

The forest area is not small, Liang Xi didn't come out until the sun rose to midday, but when he saw the scene outside the forest, he was almost dumbfounded.

It was clearly an endless grassland.
