The fifth line has always been a calm person, but this time he was really confused, so when Princess Qingying suddenly disappeared behind him, he didn't think too much.
If Prince Xiao hadn't just come back from the Queen Mother and hadn't seen Zhizhi before he realized something was wrong, I'm afraid it would have been a long time before the fifth line noticed.
Cheng Shiyou knew that the matter was of great importance, so he marched all the way to the palace. He secretly came to Qingying Palace, Zhu Zhizhi's residence, but saw that no one was in Qingying Palace, and none of his maids were there. Cheng Shiyou then thought of Hua'er and the others, and asked around the palace several times before finally finding He Ye. As soon as the two met, they immediately knew something was wrong. He Ye said that the princess had not come back since she went out during the day. When the maids saw that the princess did not come back, they planned to take a rest. Unexpectedly, Shiyou came to find him at this time, and then he knew that something big had happened.
So the lotus leaves woke up the flowers and grass together, and Cheng Shiyou and Cheng Shiyou hurried out of the palace to Prince Xiao's Mansion, but they did not dare to alert the Queen Mother in advance.
Cheng Shiyou and Hua'er came to Prince Xiao's Mansion together. When everyone saw this situation, they immediately knew something was wrong.
"Oops! It's all my fault, I was careless." The fifth line deeply blamed himself.
"Don't blame yourself too much in the fifth line. As the saying goes, it's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Now the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. They want to plot against us, but it is indeed difficult to prevent them." Prince Xiao was comforting the fifth line.
"If I send her back, or come to the palace with her, wouldn't this be fine?" In the fifth line, I still can't forgive myself. But his self-blame was actually not just because of this one thing, but there were other reasons.
"Mr. Wu, you immediately send all the servants of the palace to search everywhere in the city. If you encounter any suspicious people, report them immediately. Brother Cheng, please do me a favor again and immediately go to the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mr. Wang, and ask him to also send The Jin Yiwei will search the whole city, but don't make too much noise. The Jin Yiwei are the best at tracking and searching, and they should be much more effective than the servants of our palace." Prince Xiao gave a decisive order.
"Your Majesty, is it possible that this matter has something to do with Sheng Lingren?" Zhang Yu asked tentatively.
"It's hard to say!" Prince Xiao sighed.
"If this is the case, things may be even more troublesome." Li Yiru said.
"I'll go find him right away." The fifth line said, planning to go find Sheng Lingren.
"Fifth young hero, please be patient." Prince Xiao persuaded him.
"Prince, don't worry! The fifth line has its own sense of proportion." The fifth line said and planned to go out.
At this moment, the guard from the palace outside the door suddenly came in, holding a letter in his hand and said: "Fifth Young Hero, a person came outside the door just now and sent a letter, saying that you should open it in person."
"Where are the people?"
"Outside the door."
Everyone chased him out and saw that the man had disappeared.
In the fifth line, without hesitation, he immediately opened the letter and took a look. His face suddenly turned livid. It was obvious that something big had happened.
"Fifth Young Hero, what's wrong?" King Xiao asked eagerly.
"It's Solecom," answered the fifth line.
"What did he say?" Prince Xiao said and took the letter away.
"He said that he wanted us to exchange the Hu man we caught earlier for Zhizhi. If we cheated, they would kill her." The voice in the fifth line was a little scattered, as if he had lost his soul.
"It's really him!" Prince Xiao gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now, change or not?" Zhang Yu asked.
"That barbarian has a tough mouth and can't get out any information. He is still a good man. It's useless for us to keep him, so let's change him! However, since they dare to take action first, I will never let them go again. Escape easily." Prince Xiao said bitterly.
"But this letter clearly specifies that only Xing'er is allowed to go and change people!" Zhang Yu had already received the letter at this time.
"Ignore him, Brother Bai, you immediately take my king's token, go to the prison first, and bring the barbarian out." King Xiao said to Bai Zhonghuan.
"Yes." After being defeated, he immediately took the prince's token and went out.
*************************************************** *******************************
In the evening, night is approaching.
Although the poisonous fly mushroom Han Xiang had been poisoned before, she was worried about Shen Yue's safety, so she ignored her own health these days and went around the city to inquire for information.
But after a few days, she still found nothing, and she gradually lost heart. At this moment, she drank some wine alone and was about to go back to the inn alone.
There were no people on the street at this time, and occasionally there were just one or two idle passers-by, but they were all walking in a hurry.
Han Xiang staggered around and was staggering home alone when suddenly a group of people passed by her in a hurry. One of the big men was carrying something on his shoulder, covered only by a black cloth bag. Judging from the shape, it looked like a person.
Although such a thought flashed through Han Xiang's mind, she saw that there were many people on the other side, so she had no intention of provoking them.
The reason why she is called poisonous fly mushroom is because she likes to wear red and green, and she also wears colorful clothes, dressing herself up like a poisonous colorful mushroom. In fact, she is somewhat similar to Xiao Yurong, with a charming aura about her. The difference is that her charming aura is mostly faked by wearing rich clothes, while Xiao Yurong's charming look is engraved in her bones. Even if she wears no makeup, she can still charm many men, which Han Xiang cannot do at all.
At this time, she was also dressed in rich clothes, and her body was still exuding a strong aroma, mixed with the smell of alcohol, and even a bit pungent.
The people who passed by her just now were all tall men. One of them saw that she was not too bad looking, and she was also very charming, so he couldn't help but take a second look, and even Still a little dazed.
The big man at the front, who was resisting, saw someone behind him was in a daze, so he shouted something.
Fortunately, the man was silent, but his words immediately attracted Han Xiang's attention, because what the man said was not Chinese at all, but nonsense.
Han Xiang originally thought these people were a bit suspicious, but now she found out that they were not Han people, and she immediately became concerned. Han Xiang turned back and quietly followed those people. Only then did she realize that these people were all martial arts masters, and they were looking around as if there was something wrong in their minds.
Han Xiang wanted to find out what they were doing, so she followed them quietly, only to see them heading towards the east gate.
Han Xiang followed all the way, but saw that those people did not leave the city through the city gate, but secretly climbed over the city wall. Han Xiang was certain that these people were definitely not good people and must have done something bad. Although Han Xiang never regarded himself as a good person, when he saw foreigners daring to do evil in the capital, he felt that they were very bold and felt a little dissatisfied, so he secretly challenged them.
Han Xiang kept silent and just followed those people from a distance. After they left the city, there were still people outside the city to meet them. It seemed that there were quite a few of them. When they left the city before, there were about ten people, and two or three of them had high martial arts skills.
At this time, several people outside the city picked them up one after another and took them to a mountain outside the city. They gathered more and more people along the way, and there were already almost twenty people. Han Xiang knew that the martial arts of some of them were even better than his own, so he did not dare to be careless. It's just that they never spoke in Chinese, but they kept chattering, but she couldn't understand a word.
Han Xiang hid all the way and was very careful, for fear of being discovered by them, and then finally followed those people to their destination.
Those people came to a cave, and the big man finally put down all his belongings, and then opened the black bag. As expected, it was a person, and she was also a woman. Han Xiang took a closer look and finally saw the woman's face clearly. She was surprised again when she saw that the person was actually Zhu Zhizhi.
In fact, Han Xiang already knew the identity of Zhu Zhizhi. She was the younger sister of the current emperor and the most beloved Princess Qingying of the Queen Mother. That's why she wanted to kidnap her in exchange for her unsatisfactory husband. But now Han Xiang is sure that Zhu Zhizhi was kidnapped in real life this time.
It was already October, and the night near the capital was already very cold and windy. Han Xiang had no preparation before. Now he was sleeping alone in the deep mountains, and his whole body was numb from the cold in a short time. She didn't expect that she would follow him to the outside of the city by accident and discover such a big secret.
These barbarians must have some ulterior motive for secretly kidnapping Princess Qingying, so he must find a way to save her. Although her relationship with Princess Qingying was not good and they even had a fight, she should still help them for the sake of the Fifth Line.
Moral support from many, scant support. He who sows good causes will reap good results.
If the fifth line hadn't sincerely asked Zhu Zhizhi to help him detoxify last time, he might have been alone in the wild. Based on the fifth line of treating people sincerely, she should help him, even though she really doesn't like Qingying Princess Zhu Zhizhi.
But those people have now entered the cave, and there is fire coming from the entrance of the cave. It is obvious that they are warming themselves up inside. Han Xiang is a man of the world, so he naturally carries flint with him. But although she was freezing now, she could only endure it, because once she started a fight, those barbarians would immediately find her. If he ran to a distant place to set up fire, he would not be able to observe the movements of the barbarians at all.
She also wanted to go back and send a message to Wu Xing and Xiao Wang and others, asking them to come and save people as soon as possible. But she was afraid that as soon as she left, the barbarians would move to other places.
She struggled with several ideas in her mind, but finally decided to endure the wind and frost erosion and look for an opportunity to untie the ice Zhizhi here alone.
There were constant sounds of people drinking and drinking in the cave, and people were constantly talking in nonsense, and there were also laughter, but there was no voice from Princess Qingying. This was better, and Han Xiang temporarily concluded that these people must not be robbing sex, but had other more important purposes, so Zhizhi should be safe for the time being.
However, until the second half of the night, no one here left the cave, and it was already extremely cold outside the cave. Ice flowers began to appear on Han Xiang's body, and his eyes, ears, hands, nose, and feet were all frozen.
Han Xiang could only wrap her clothes as tightly as she could and keep rubbing her body with both hands in an attempt to keep her body as warm as possible, but she still struggled to persevere.
