Upon hearing this, Pei Mochen looked at Su Lingxue beside him and saw that she looked very scared. So he quickly sat up straight, took Su Lingxue's tender hand and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, the Qiang country will only feed them." They attacked Qianshan City when they were in short supply. They harvested a lot of food last winter, so they will definitely not attack suddenly at this time!"
Su Lingxue's heart twitched when she heard this.
Won’t come?
But this is a matter of life and death. If anything happens, how can their mother and daughter survive?
She won’t risk her life and Yingying’s life. If she wants to be treated as she wants, you can treat her alone!
So Su Lingxue still looked frightened and begged: "Your Majesty, I am afraid...I wonder if I can leave here with Yingying,"
Pei Mochen saw Su Lingxue begging. With a look in his eyes, he finally agreed: "Okay, then you can take Yingying and leave early tomorrow morning!"
"I want to leave now, but when I think of the Qiang Kingdom coming to kidnap people, I'm afraid the whole night will be unsettled. I hope the prince will do it!" Su Lingxue squeezed Pei Mochen's hand and begged again.
This place is too dangerous, and she does not want to put Yingying in danger for a moment, even if it is a one in ten thousand possibility.
In fact, Pei Mochen brought Su Lingxue and her daughter with him just to make Su Lingxue feel at ease. In this way, Pei Mochen naturally would not force it. He said: "Since you want to leave, then take Yingying with you." Well, just be careful on the road, I will send some more guards to protect you."
Hearing this, Su Lingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Pei Mochen didn't agree, she would take Yingying and leave privately. !
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Lingxue stood up and saluted and said, "I will start packing my bags right now." After saying that, Su Lingxue stood up, walked to the door, and told Hua Ning to pack her things quickly. leave.
Hua Ning, who had been guarding the door, was very surprised when she heard this, but she didn't ask any more questions, she responded politely, then turned around and started getting ready.
Soon, in less than a quarter of an hour, Hua Ning came to report that everything had been packed and the carriage was ready.
Su Lingxue nodded after hearing this, and then looked at Pei Mochen in front of her: "Your Majesty, this place is very dangerous. Can you leave with me?"
Before leaving, I still want to express my gratitude. Concerned, even though she knew Pei Mochen would not leave. Sure enough, Pei Mochen refused and said, "You go ahead. I still have things to do here. Just be careful on the way!"
"Yes! That concubine is gone! Your Majesty, please take care of me." !" Su Lingxue saluted, then turned around and left the house without looking back. He took wet nurse Yingying and Hua Ning and got on the carriage directly. The team set off quickly and left Qianshan City before dark.
After leaving the city, Su Lingxue called the leader of the guards. After she looked at the map the guards brought, she pointed her finger at Qianshan City East.There is Huayi City, which is a city away, just because this Huayi City is the farthest city around Qianshan City and can be reached tonight.
After confirming their destination, the team rushed towards Huayi City non-stop.
The team traveled for two and a half hours. In the middle of the Hai hour, that is, at 22 o'clock, the team finally entered the city at the last moment before the city gate fell. After entering the city, Su Lingxue's heart changed. Completely put down, with such a distance and a city in the middle, even if the Qiang people came to rob, it would be difficult to get here!
The team came to an inconspicuous inn and settled down. After Su Lingxue washed up, she looked at Yingying who was still sleeping in the room and went to bed. After leaving Pei Mochen, Su Lingxue took Yingying to bed. Stay by your side and never let it leave your sight.
I don’t know how long I had slept, but suddenly an urgent knock on the door woke Su Lingxue up.
Hua Ning stood up and asked warily: "Who? What's going on so late at night?"
A man's voice that Hua Ning was very familiar with came from outside the door: "Yes. My subordinate, Wu Shen, if you have something urgent, please report it to Concubine Su!" Wu Shen responded politely, but his tone was very urgent.
It was so late at night, and Wu Shen was so anxious, maybe there was something urgent.
Su Lingxue stood up, put on her coat, opened the door and walked out, closing the door behind her, and then saw Wu Shen waiting anxiously beside the door.
"Concubine Su, the prince is missing!!" Wu Shen looked very anxious.
When Su Lingxue saw this, she was not affected by Wu Shen's expression. Instead, she led Wu Shen out of the door and came to a corner of the corridor.
Let’s just talk, don’t disturb Yingying’s sweet dream!
Su Lingxue turned around and looked at the door of the house. When nothing was wrong, she asked, "What's going on? Didn't I feel well when I left?" There was a hint of anxiety in her tone.
"Concubine, after you left, the prince took us to perform official duties. During the period, the prince and his subordinates went separately. They also agreed to meet us in the inn in an hour. But who knew when the time came, The prince never came back, and his subordinates have sent people to look for him, but there is no trace of him."
After saying that, Wu Shen bowed and begged: "Concubine Su, please save me. Your Majesty, it’s been an hour longer than the agreed time, and something must have happened to your Majesty. Please go back to Qianshan City to save your Majesty!”
,
Listen! At these words, Su Lingxue frowned slightly. She had already said that place was unsafe, but Pei Mochen refused to leave. Who could blame her? Now that she was asked to go back to that place, she didn't want to go back!
"Vice General Wu, get up quickly!" Su Lingxue then politely refused and said: "I am just a housewife, how can I know the prince's whereabouts, let alone such things as searching for people, what do I, a woman, know? ? "Su LingxueHe looked ignorant.
But Wu Shen, who was kneeling on the ground, did not believe what he saw. He only listened to his persistent pleading: "Concubine Su, I know that you are good at kung fu, and you are not weak. Seeing how the prince treated you in the past. For Bo's sake, please save the prince!"
Su Lingxue was still indifferent after hearing this. She said defensively: "Wu Shen, although I know kung fu, I can't find people. Concubine doesn’t understand, you asked the wrong person!”
After hearing this, Wu Shen understood Su Lingxue’s refusal, so he changed his way and continued: “Concubine Su, for Princess Anrui’s sake! For my sake, I beg you, if something happens to the prince, the princess will lose her father, and how will you explain to the princess at that time?"
For some reason, Wu Shen's behavior at this time. I firmly believe that Su Lingxue has the ability to find the prince!
Hearing this, Su Lingxue's eyelashes trembled.
Yes!
She can live without Pei Mochen. But Yingying cannot live without his father!
Thinking of this, Su Lingxue cursed in her heart: What a drag, you said Qianshan City was dangerous, but you insisted on staying there!
My mother protects the child, but now he is missing and I am asked to find him!
What kind of energy does he have as a prince? ! !
Just let her be the prince!
/p>
When Su Lingxue asked, Wu Shen knew that Su Lingxue had agreed, so a trace of joy appeared on his face: "Say it!"

"Concubine Su, let's get up and set off now. Time is tight. I will give you details on the way!" Wu Shen stood up and gave up his position, making a gesture of invitation.
Seeing this, Su Lingxue said calmly: "Wait a moment, I need to go in and give you instructions!" After saying that, Su Lingxue walked past Wu Shen to the door of the room and opened the door. Went in.
Wu Shen waited anxiously outside for a moment, and finally waited until the door opened again. At this time, Su Lingxue changed into simple clothes that were very convenient for movement, then walked out of the room and carefully closed the door. Then he said lightly: "Let's go!"
So, in the dark night, two fast horses quickly ran out of Huayi City, and quickly disappeared into the night like ghosts at night.
Riding on horseback was much faster than the team. It took them less than half an hour to reach the gate of Qianshan City. They saw a gap between the two heavy wooden doors. The door seemed to be ajar.
I saw Wu Shen riding over directly, and the two gates were opened immediately.
Su Lingxue was slightly shocked. It was easy to leave the city gate so late at night, but entering the cityThat is generally not allowed. Even if you have said hello in advance, you still have to check it in detail!
It seems that the safety factor of this Qianshan City is lower than she thought!
After entering the city, the two of them did not rush to the inn where they had stayed. At Su Lingxue's request, they went to the place where Pei Mochen said he wanted to go before parting.
An abandoned and desolate house on the edge of the city. In fact, there are countless abandoned houses like this in Qianshan City.
"Are you sure that this is where the prince came before?" Su Lingxue stepped into the yard and saw dry weeds growing inside.
Wu Shen next to her was half a step behind Su Lingxue and followed her.
"Before the prince and his subordinates parted, they said they were going to a relatively large house. The subordinates sent people to look around and found that only this house is the largest!" Wu Shen responded politely. .
"But my subordinates have carefully sent people to check every place in the courtyard, but there are no clues. The prince has just disappeared without a trace!" Wu Shen said anxiously.
"Do you know why the prince is here?" Su Lingxue was not affected by Wu Shen's emotions at all. She glanced around and saw that the surrounding area was illuminated by the bright moon in the sky, except for the whole room. It was dark, and everything in the courtyard was clearly illuminated.
"The prince never mentioned such confidential matters to his subordinates, but I guessed that the prince wanted to meet someone!" Wu Shen said solemnly: "It should be to hand over something to that person. ?"
"A spy in Qiang country?" Su Lingxue asked immediately after hearing this.
Wu Shen's eyes showed surprise when he heard this, as if he couldn't believe that Su Lingxue could guess the identity of the other party.
Then he felt joy again, and he knew that Concubine Su was no ordinary woman!
"According to my subordinates' guess, the other party should be a spy!" Then Wu Shen's attitude became more respectful!
Hearing this, Su Lingxue nodded slightly, and then followed a path in the weeds towards the main house.
Since he is a spy, he has to hand over important things in Qiang country!
Su Lingxue was not interested in what was handed over, but the identity of the spy. If there was a problem during the handover, it was probably because the Qiang country discovered the identity of the spy and followed it here. Then take down Pei Mochen and the others in one fell swoop!
Thinking of this, Su Lingxue cursed in her heart again: What a waste!
Then he scolded the original body again: The original body really has a problem with his eyes, but he chose such a useless prince to be a man. Can't he choose someone smarter?
Su Lingxue cursed in her heart, but still walked into the dark main room. Wu Shen behind him immediately took out the fire stick from his arms, and he didn’t know which corner of the house he picked up. Candles were lit.
"Concubine Su, my subordinates have sent people to carefully check every corner of this house.I've looked for it, but there are no clues. "Wu Shen followed Su Lingxue closely, helping her illuminate every place she wanted to see.
Su Lingxue hummed after hearing this, and then continued to check each room. Although she was checking, but She wasn't that careful. She believed that since they didn't find it, it would be futile to look for those people sent by Wu Shen. She only needed to focus on the places they should have missed.
Sure enough, at the end. In a room to the west, Su Lingxue smelled a faint scent of sandalwood, and she remembered clearly that Pei Mochen had never used this kind of incense, and it was even less likely that Wu Shen's subordinates would use it.
As a legitimate daughter who started out as a medicinal herb, the original owner’s impression of sandalwood was that besides making sachets, it was also used in religious ceremonies.
“Is there any sect in this city? "Su Lingxue turned to Wu Shen beside her and asked.
"Yes! Destroy the Heaven Sect! "Wu Shen heard this and responded with certainty.
"Do you know where the main altar is? ”
“I’ll go and find out now!” "After Wu Shen heard this, he seemed to finally have a clue, turned around and hurriedly retreated.
In the dead silence of the night, suddenly more than 200 guards surrounded a somewhat dilapidated temple. They surrounded them, and in front of the temple gate, Su Lingxue walked over, followed by a very respectful Wu Shen.
Then Wu Shen ordered loudly: "Go in and search, and don't let everyone go." No place, no brick, no corner should be spared. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy! ”
Immediately, the guards behind them rushed into the gate of the temple courtyard.
Wu Shen stood behind Su Lingxue and followed her into the gate of the courtyard.
The courtyard is not big or small. Under the moonlight, you can still see some burning ashes in the courtyard.
Sure enough, the smell of sandalwood in this courtyard is very strong.
Suddenly, a guard ran out of the room and heard him report loudly: "I am reporting! There seems to be a darkroom behind the painting in the house! "
After hearing this, Wu Shen's nervous expression finally eased, and then he loudly ordered: "Go down and search them all! "
Immediately, Su Lingxue saw all the guards in the courtyard running towards the house. Seeing this, Su Lingxue also walked towards the house. Unexpectedly, Wu Shen took a step forward to stop Su Lingxue. Footsteps.
"Concubine Su, there may be danger in the dark room, so you should wait here! " He suggested kindly.
Hearing this, Su Lingxue looked very indifferent: "Will I be afraid? "
"Get out of the way! "Su Lingxue said coldly. She wanted to see how embarrassed Pei Mochen looked at this time!
