Soon, Yu Rongbei and Wu Buyu rushed over one after another.Wu Buyu was still a little bit drunk, and was woken up not long after falling asleep, and now seeing Song Yanqing's face, all the sleepiness was gone.Although Yu Rongbei also drank some wine, he has always had the instinct of a warrior to keep vigilant at any time, so he is still sober. "Little prince," he came with a team of confidantes, "but there are assassins?"

Song Yanqing was noncommittal, and said in a deep voice, "Go and see Huiyang first."

A group of people came to the small courtyard where Princess Huiyang lived, just in time to see Wan Tong coming out of the closed door. She was shocked when she saw Song Yanqing's big battle, "The lord is well, the general is well. The lord came here late at night, but Came to find our princess?"

Song Yanqing asked: "Where is she?"

"After soaking in the hot spring, the princess felt sleepy, so she came back directly to rest."

Xu Xilu said: "Are you sure she is resting inside?"

Wan Tong nodded, "The servant girl watched the Princess fall asleep before blowing out the candle and coming out."

Song Yanqing's face softened a little, but Xu Xilu still felt that something was wrong, "Go in and have a look at the princess, we will wait here."

After all, Xu Xilu was just a staff officer, and his orders were nothing in front of Song Yanqing.Wan Tong hesitated for a moment when she heard the words, then looked at Song Yanqing, saw the latter nodding slightly, and said: "Your servant will go now."

Yu Rongbei, who was completely kept in the dark, nudged Xu Xilu with his elbow and whispered, "Xilu, what happened?"

Xu Xilu shook his head, "I hope I'm thinking too much."

The lights came on inside, and Wantong's cry suddenly sounded after a while: "Princess, princess!" Song Yanqing and Xu Xilu looked at each other, pushed open the door and strode in. Yu Rongbei and Wu Buyu were just about to follow When she went up, she was stopped by Xu Xilu: "We'll wait here." If something happened to Princess Huiyang and her disheveled clothes were seen by so many men, her innocence would be completely ruined.

Although Yu Rongbei was stubborn in his work, he also understood what Xu Xilu meant.Yu Buyu was panicked at this moment, he would do whatever others told him to do.Prince Duan and Princess Huiyang had an accident in Cangzhou. As the governor, he must be to blame. Not to mention Wu Shamao, whether his life can be saved is a question.

Not long after, Song Yanqing's voice came from inside: "You all come in."

Several people walked in together, Yu Buyu looked around, but could not see the figure of Princess Huiyang. "My lord, this..."

Xu Xilu asked: "The Princess is missing?"

Wan Tong cried and nodded, "The servant really didn't leave the house until she saw the princess fell asleep with her own eyes. How long has it been since the princess disappeared!"

This room is not big or small, there are only a few places where people can hide.There are heavy guards around the house, how could a living person suddenly disappear?Yu Rongbei called the guards guarding the gate, "Did you see any suspicious people?"

"Back to the general, I have been guarding around the house. After the princess went out, she never came back, and I never saw anyone else coming in or out."

Song Yanqing walked to the bed, touched the quilt with her hands, and sure enough, it was still warm, Huiyang was still sleeping on it one moment, and the next moment, she was taken away under the watchful eyes of the guards, which was simply a humiliation to them.

Wu Buyu was sweating profusely, tremblingly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I will send someone to search the city of Cangzhou carefully, and I will definitely find the culprit and rescue the princess!"

Xu Xilu said: "Order to seal the city first. The thieves should not have gone far now, and it will be even more difficult for us to track them down when they leave the city."

"Yes yes yes, Staff Officer Xu is right!" Wu Buyu repeated, "Seal the city first!"

Song Yanqing wandered from the bed to the cabinet next to her, "Xi Lu, you just said that there is a problem with the house?"

Xu Xilu knew that Song Yanqing was thinking of going with him, nodded and said: "I don't know if you have noticed, but every thing and scene in this villa is giving people some kind of psychological hint."

These are beyond the scope of Yu Rongbei's understanding, "Psychological hints?"

"Let's say that the room where the little prince lives has light gauze curtains and bead curtains as the curtain. As long as the lamp is lit, there will be fascinating light and shadow. The soft fragrant jade pillow is fragrant and fragrant, and the screen is embroidered with phoenix mating. , the bed is carved with toads hugging each other. General Xiao Yu, what will happen if you stay inside for a long time?"

Yu Rongbei scratched his head, "Shouldn't it be all right?"

Song Yanqing suddenly said: "What if your wife is also inside?"

"Uh..." A general in Yu Rongbei blushed instantly, "My lord, how can I answer your question..."

"In my opinion, that room just arouses and magnifies some of your thoughts that you can't be treated by outsiders. With the help of Mixiang, some people who lack self-control can change their temperament drastically in a short period of time." As Xu Xilu said, he seemed to glance at Song Yanqing unintentionally.Song Yanqing pretended not to see it, and continued solemnly: "Since there is a problem with my king's house, there must be something wrong with Huiyang's." As soon as he finished speaking, he paused, "That's it."

I saw him holding a porcelain vase in both hands, rotating it half a circle, and with a click, the bed rose slowly under the shocked eyes of everyone, and then split into two, revealing a bottomless abyss.

Song Yanqing was about to check, Xuan Mo said: "Your Majesty, let me do it." After speaking, Xuan Mo walked to the bed, took a look, and said: "There are stairs going down, it seems that this is a secret path."

Song Yanqing said: "Xuan Mo, take some capable men and go down the secret road to investigate; General Xiao Yu, you stay in the villa to prevent any more sneak attacks."

"Yes!"

Yu Rongbei and Xuan Mo each performed their duties.Song Yanqing sat down at the desk, and said to the remaining Wu Buyu, "Master Wu, what do you want to say?"

Wu Buyu hurriedly knelt down, "It's the negligence of the lower official! The lower official's mansion is shabby and shabby, and I am ashamed to see the prince and princess. Someone just came to offer the house, and the lower official..."

Xu Xilu asked: "The waiter in this other village is yours?"

Wu Buyu kowtowed his head and said, "Yes, the rich businessman Yang still kept a group of people, but the lower officials were not at ease, so they sent those people away and called someone they trusted. But the lower officials never expected , besides the people, the house will also have problems!"

Seeing that he was so frightened that he was about to cry at his age, Xu Xilu couldn't bear it, "Indeed, if you don't look carefully, it's hard to detect the mystery. At first glance, I also thought that the owner of this other village was just a greedy man. It’s just for those who want to enjoy themselves. In short, this villa cannot be lived in. It’s easy to hide people indoors, my lord, why don’t we retreat outside the city and set up camp?”

Song Yanqing nodded, "Wu Buyu, I ordered you to investigate within a day, the origin of that rich businessman surnamed Yang. Otherwise, you can come and see him."

Seeing Xu Xilu's helpless smile, Song Yanqing wondered, "What are you laughing at?"

"Come and see, the imperial physician is buried with you, isn't that a common phrase in your royal family?"

Song Yanqing's mouth twitched, "Shut up."

It was not until dawn that Xuan Mo returned to his life.The secret passage in the house of Princess Huiyang leads directly to the village on the outskirts of the city.Xuan Mo asked a few villagers to inquire about it, but it was already late at night, and the villagers had all turned off their lights to sleep, and no one had seen anything unusual.The village is located in a remote place, and after climbing a few mountains, they left the territory of Cangzhou. It would inevitably take time and effort for Song Yanqing and others to investigate.

The next day, Wu Buyu also found out the origin of Yang Fushang. "This man's name is Yang Yan. He claims that his ancestral home is Yongzhou. He came to Cangzhou five years ago alone. He made a fortune in the fabric business and bought that villa. The officials have also questioned almost all the people who have had dealings with him. They all said that he was just an ordinary businessman, and he never did any strange behavior. At the beginning, after he handed over Biezhuang to the subordinate officials, he said that he would go to the south to do business, but...there was no more news. "

Xu Xilu raised his eyebrows, "Is this gone?"

Wu Buyu wiped his sweat and said: "It's gone, but as long as the prince gives me some more time, I will definitely..."

"That's enough," Song Yanqing interrupted him displeasedly, "You continue to track down this person's whereabouts, and report to the King if you find out."

Wu Buyu felt relieved, "Yes, yes, the lower officials will step down first."

Xu Xilu was sitting in the tent, holding Song Yanqing's fox fur in his hand, warming it on a charcoal basin, "My lord, what are your plans for the future?" They traveled thousands of miles from the capital to the north to see Huiyang. The princess is married, and now the princess is gone, and they are in Cangzhou, between the capital and northern Xinjiang. It is really a dilemma.

Song Yanqing sat down beside him, her black eyes reflected the sparks in the charcoal basin, "Huiyang must be found."

"Little General Yu has led people to search the city of Cangzhou for several days, but there is still no result." Xu Xilu said concentratingly, "Could it be that they really left the city?"

"This king is thinking, who is it that wants to take Huiyang away?"

"Princess Huiyang has been staying in the capital since she was born. Her father, King Ning, has always been a good man and has never offended anyone. This king can't imagine that someone in Shangjing would want to do something wrong to her."

Xu Xilu followed his train of thought and continued: "Since he's not from the capital, he's from northern Xinjiang."

Song Yanqing unexpectedly found that Xu Xilu always wanted to go with him.This person usually looks unscrupulous and always makes him angry, but at critical moments, he is much more useful than Wu Buyu and his ilk.Song Yanqing was very pleased - this king has a good vision.

Xu Xilu asked: "Your Highness, do you know King Bei'an?"

Song Yanqing recalled: "Ten years ago, when King Bei'an was still the prince's son, this king met him once. According to his seniority, he is my junior, but he is not young. He should be almost thirty this year. stop."

"Thirty?" Xu Xilu was a little surprised, "But Princess Huiyang is only fifteen or sixteen?"

Song Yanqing didn't take it seriously: "Is this very important?"

Xu Xilu was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "It's not important, please continue, my lord."

"The king of Bei'an has guarded the frontier for many years, and he has worked hard and made great achievements, which has delayed his life's important events. It is rumored that he personally beheaded the prince of Beiliang in a battle, and became famous in the first battle."

While Song Yanqing was talking, she suddenly felt a warm feeling on her back. It turned out that it was Xu Xilu who put the baked fox fur on him. "What does the lord mean, are people from Beiliang causing trouble?"

"A businessman with unknown origin bought a villa with a lot of money, and then asked Wu Buyu Mao to recommend himself. Do you think that an ordinary power can be so impeccable?"

"If this is the case, it will be troublesome." Xu Xilu thoughtfully, "My lord, Cangzhou is not too far away from the northern border, so why not tell the king of Bei'an about this matter, he knows Beiliang far better than him. Let's wait, with his help, we will naturally get twice the result with half the effort."

"No, the king and his army are not allowed to leave the fief without an edict, otherwise they will be treated as treason."

"Then let him have an edict."

Song Yanqing sighed, "Go get the pen and paper."
