King Yue and Mu Yunyao came to the place where Princess Yu was kidnapped. Shen Binghuai, governor of Shuntian Mansion, had already brought people to investigate, but unfortunately, the kidnappers cleaned up the clues very well, and they disappeared after two streets.

Yu Yi led people to look around. King Yue stopped his horse, and the snow fox jumped on the ground. After sniffing around, he quickly ran in one direction.

King Yue hurriedly drove the horse to follow, Mu Yunyao bit her lips slightly, she had specially trained the snow fox, but it was a bit risky to pin her hopes on Ta Xue.

King Yue tightly wrapped Mu Yunyao's arm: "Yao'er, we will find the second sister-in-law."

Mu Yunyao nodded, and the panic in her heart subsided a little.

Xuehu headed east all the way, went straight to the east gate, stopped at the gate and kept jumping.

The guard who handles the city gate hastily stepped forward, pointing the spear in the direction of King Yue: "Who is it?"

"I am King Yue, will someone be carrying a sedan chair out at the gate of the city tonight?"

The guards guarding the city took two steps forward. After seeing the faces of King Yue and Mu Yunyao clearly, they quickly knelt down and saluted: "Reporting to His Highness King Yue, after the city gate was closed at night, no one left the city."

Mu Yunyao's eyes fell on the few people behind the speaking guard, and she leaned back gently.

King Yue raised his hand and directly ordered Yu Yi behind him: "Catch them all!"

Yu Yi led people directly to press forward, and the guards panicked for a while: "His Royal Highness, what are you going to do? After the curfew, no one is allowed to go out in the streets, especially going out of the city. Even if you are a prince, you must not violate the laws of the Dali Dynasty."

King Yue sneered coldly: "Hearing you talk so much, I know I have caught the wrong person!" Ordinary city guards, being detained by the prince of the dynasty, don't worry about it, and even make plausible rebuttals. How dare he?

Mu Yunyao pointed to a tall guard next to her: "Wei Jiu."

Wei Jiu, who had been following him all the time, jumped forward, landed behind the man like a ghost, locked the man's neck with his arms, and then removed the man's chin with a click.

A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Mu Yunyao's eyes: "That man has blood on his body, take him down for interrogation and see if he can find anything."

After Mu Yunyao finished giving orders, King Yue ordered: "Yu Yi, after the princess and I take people out of the city, let someone hold the gate of the city. Never let anyone in or out. , if there is anything, I will take care of it."

"Yes, my lord."

The snow fox had already run out quickly. After running for nearly half a quarter of an hour, it suddenly turned around and rushed into the woods, then stopped at the edge of the woods, looked around and did not move.

King Yue dismounted with Mu Yunyao in his arms, and went to the place where Xuehu stayed to check.

Mu Yunyao reached out and picked off a leaf, twisted it lightly with her fingers, put it under the tip of her nose and smelled it: "There is a powder that confuses the smell, and the snow fox has no way to continue tracking."

"After receiving the news, we immediately started looking for someone non-stop. Even if the people who hijacked the second sister-in-law were well prepared, they should not be far away. I immediately mobilized people to search the mountain."

Mu Yunyao looked at the dense jungle in front of her, her eyes were extremely solemn: "Behind the dense forest is Dongya Mountain. If those people hide in the mountain, I'm afraid there will be no way to find them for a while. The second sister-in-law is pregnant now, and there is a little accident. ..."

King Yue's expression became even colder: "Yao'er, we can only do our best..."

Mu Yunyao nodded, and followed King Yue to search for traces in the forest, but after searching around, she only found a few broken grass leaves and branches, leaving very few traces.

Mu Yunyao squatted down, looked at those less obvious traces, and her expression suddenly changed: "Fourth Master, are we falling for the trap?"

King Yue turned his head abruptly: "Why do you say that?"

"After hearing that the strong crossbowmen were mobilized, we guessed in our hearts that it was King Ling and the Li family who were behind it, and even King Jin was behind the scenes, so we considered the robber's ability very high, and Xuehu tracked the breath all the way. Coming here, I naturally thought that the robbers had already taken the second sister-in-law out of the capital, but if someone deliberately misled, for example, learned that we would use the snow fox to deliberately use the second sister-in-law's clothes to leave breath, and then arrange the city gate Guards, showing flaws let us firmly guess, once we mobilize all the people, we will fall into their tricks."

King Yue understood Mu Yunyao's meaning, and frowned tightly: "If we fall into the trick and mobilize people to search the mountains, it will inevitably waste a lot of time, and they will be fully prepared to hide the second sister-in-law. Knowing that the person is hiding in the capital, I don’t know how long it will take to find him.”

"That's right." Mu Yunyao threw away the leaves in her hands. At first she didn't feel suspicious, but the behavior of those robbers spraying the scent-confusing powder when they entered the forest was really weird. Those people hijacked people and wanted to escape. Naturally, they came here in a concealed way. Since there is a powder that confuses the smell, why not use it from the beginning, but wait until it is difficult to track when they enter the mountains? Thinking back and forth, I noticed something was wrong.

King Yue pulled Mu Yunyao onto his horse: "I will leave some people behind to continue searching the mountains and forests. Let's go back to the capital now to see how Wei Jiu interrogated the city guards. In addition, there should be arrangements for the second brother, let's meet first , exchange plans, and then discuss how to act."

"Okay." Mu Yunyao nodded in response. She hurriedly chased out just now, hoping to find the clues at the first time, and then test whether she could find someone along the clues. It would be futile to investigate further, it is better to meet with King Yu and integrate all the forces to make a better arrangement.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the gate of the city, they ran into Wei Jiu who was about to leave the city: "Master, I have already interrogated those guards. Although some people left the city, they were not the ones who kidnapped Princess Yu."

Mu Yunyao nodded: "I see, has the emperor learned about the situation?"

"His Highness Prince Yu has already reported it to the emperor. The emperor is furious. Now he has ordered a temporary blockade of the capital to find the thieves who kidnapped Princess Yu. However, considering Princess Yu's reputation, it is only investigating secretly."

Mu Yunyao's heart sank: Princess Yu is the candidate for the future queen. Her dignity is related to the majesty of the royal family. If there are unfavorable rumors, it can easily destroy her, and King Yu's feelings for her are obvious to all. If she If he is dead, King Yu must be hit hard... In this way, Princess Yu may be really in danger...

King Yue saw Mu Yunyao's face turned pale, and held her hand slightly: "Yao'er?"

Mu Yunyao shook her head to suppress the bad feeling in her heart: "I'm fine, Fourth Master, it's important to find someone."
