Lieyang Empire, Zhongdu City, inside the Duke's Mansion.
"Have you found the young princess?" the Duke asked, leaning on the chair and holding his forehead.
"Go back to the Duke, my subordinates have sent people to look for him, but there is no reply yet." A middle-aged man who looked like a general bowed and replied.
"Fire Lion, tell me the truth. Has anyone suspicious entered the house recently?" The Duke's deep voice sounded.
This middle-aged man named Fire Lion is the captain of the Duke's personal guard and holds the position of a serious general.
"Back to your lord, Duke, everything is normal recently and no problems have been found." Fire Lion replied after thinking carefully.
"This is the biggest doubt. The princess disappeared without exception? She just came back not long ago. As a father, I can't be too strict, but can't you share the burden for me?" The Duke sat up slightly and said.
"This subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish me, Your Majesty the Duke." Fire Lion knelt on one knee and said.
"Get up and go see who is missing next to the young princess?" the Duke ordered, holding his forehead.
"As ordered, I will do it now!" Huo Shi lowered his head and left.
After the fire lion left, the Duke lay back again and closed his eyes. His daughter was lost in the urine since she was a child. She finally found it, but now she can't find it. How could this not make the sixty-year-old Duke anxious? .
Not long after, there were rapid footsteps in the corridor.
"Your Excellency, we just got a clue that the young princess's bodyguard A Ming has disappeared." Fire Lion hurriedly opened the door and walked in.
The Duke was relieved when he heard this.
"Fire Lion, send another team of elites to look for it." The Duke said solemnly.
"Yes, I don't know where to send people?" Fire Lion bowed and asked.
"Hmph, didn't you hear that the little girl has a boyfriend in Shenwu? He probably went east." The Duke said with a helpless smile.
After hearing this, Huo Shi suddenly realized. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he quickly replied and turned around to exit the room.
"Dianwu, are you interested in taking a trip?" the Duke said to the people standing silently beside him.
"The Duke needs his subordinates to go, so they will go." Noriwu said with a smile.
"Go ahead. Ever since Li Junjie left Zhongdu and went to the east, I've been feeling uneasy. Just go and check it out for me. I found the young princess on the way. Don't blame her. The same goes for the one named A Ming." The Duke said, rubbing his temples. .
Noriwu nodded, turned around and left.
"Bring three golden spear guards." Duke Sov said.
Noriwu stopped and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
In the Duke's personal guard camp, Huo Shi personally selected a hundred elites for Dian Wu.
"You are so lucky this time, you can go out and relax." Fire Lion said to Dianwu.
"If you want to go, I can talk to the Duke and give you this opportunity." Dianwu said with a white look at the Fire Lion.
"Forget it, I'm just kidding, going to the east this time is not a good job. You, please pay more attention to safety." Fire Lion waved his hand quickly.
"I understand. The Duke's safety will be left to you. Drink less wine, otherwise drinking will cause trouble." Dianwu patted the Fire Lion on the shoulder and said solemnly.
"Don't worry. With me here, you can rest assured of the Duke's safety."
Not long after, the gate of Zhongdu City opened, and a group of men and horses rushed out. The leader was Dianwu. He was riding a tall white horse, without a trace of hair on his body.
Behind him are three black horses. On top of the black horses are three men wearing black cloth. Behind the black horses are a hundred cavalry in silver armor.
After they left Zhongdu City, they went directly to the main road and headed east.
A hundred miles south of Zhongdu City, on a remote road, a carriage that did not look luxurious was moving slowly forward.
A young man who looked very shy was sitting in the high driving position, holding the reins with both hands and whistling in his mouth.
In the carriage beneath him, a beautiful girl was holding something to eat in one hand and measuring it on the map with the other. She was wearing a beautiful light blue dress, and her face was upright. Not only did she not lose points, but she looked even more innocent.
"Amin..." the girl shouted loudly.
The young man driving the carriage quickly responded.
"Are we going the wrong way?"
"Your Highness, the young princess, this road is not easy to be discovered. Isn't that what you asked for?" A Ming jumped out of the carriage and replied outside the carriage.
"But it's too boring here, with nothing but trees." Qianxue said, wrinkling her little nose.
"There is a small town about seven or eight miles further. You can take a walk there." A Ming carefully opened the carriage door, then poked at the map with his finger and said.
"Okay, let's have a good meal there and then have a good sleep." Qianxue nodded and said with a smile.
A Ming almost became fascinated when he saw the girl's beautiful smile, but when he thought of the other person's identity, he quickly turned his eyes away, exited the carriage and returned to the driving seat above, and the carriage continued to move forward.
After more than an hour, a small town - Delai Town - appeared in front of the road.
The carriage slowly entered the town. Qianxue looked at the stalls on both sides through the window, feeling very happy. This was the first time she left her family and went out. There were no guards to follow her, and it felt so good to be free from the constraints of servants, just like when she was in Shenwu. Same, so free.
In front of a nice-looking hotel, Amin's carriage stopped and then opened the door.
Qianxue looked around with a cute smile on her face.
"Young...Miss, let's stay here tonight." A Ming stretched out his hand and said.
Qianxue grabbed A Ming's arm and jumped out of the carriage, closed her eyes, took a deep breath and nodded.
"Dingling bell..." The doorbell rang, and Amin opened the door and walked in.
"Hello everyone, what do you need?" The waiter came over and asked respectfully.
"We need two rooms, something more comfortable." A Ming said.
"No problem, please come with me." The waiter nodded and led the two of them towards the front desk.
"These two need two rooms." The waiter said to the front desk manager.
"Two rooms? Take them to the third floor. Tianzi No. 1 and Tianzi No. 2 are still vacant." The shopkeeper opened a book and looked at it and said.
"You two, please follow me." The waiter from the store led the way, and the three of them climbed up the stairs to the third floor.
The shopkeeper looked at the backs of the two of them, then at the carriage at the door, and thought that a big customer had finally arrived.
The hotel looked like it had been recently renovated, and the stair handles were all painted brightly.
When we arrived on the third floor, the waiter led the way and did not stop until the end of the floor.
"Boy, the room is here." The waiter opened the door to the room. Tianzi No. 1 and Tianzi No. 2 were facing each other.
A Ming took out a tael of silver and gave it to the waiter as a tip. The waiter quickly bowed and thanked him.
"Please inform me if you need anything, and I will serve you wholeheartedly." After that, the waiter left.
"Miss, please stay at Tianzi No. 1. The sunny side has a nice environment." A Ming looked at the two rooms and said to Qianxue after confirming that there was no problem.
"I feel sorry for you, have a good rest, we have to travel tomorrow." Qianxue waved her hand and walked into the room.
The door closed, A Ming took a deep breath, turned around and walked into Tianzi No. 2.
