"Master, all the brothers who followed the funeral procession have lost contact."

Losing contact at this time will most likely be a disaster.

Li Qingmo put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Prepare your horse."

They rode out of the city and chased all the way towards Anyan County.

The snow was still falling, and the snow on the road was already ankle deep, and the horse's speed also dropped.

Chu Tianyi asked: "How are you sure that they must go to Anyan County? Since they have problems, then this destination may be mentioned casually."

Li Qingmo's brows were always furrowed, and the wind and snow had turned his cheeks red, and his eyebrows were covered with a layer of white frost. When he spoke, the white cool air seemed to instantly form ice mist.

"The casual remark will have some basis. We were heading in the same direction as them at the time. In order to prevent us from discovering anything, he must have mentioned a location in the same direction as the destination."

His voice carried backwards on the wind.

Chu Tianyi didn't bother to ask anymore. It was really too cold. When he opened his mouth, there was a breath of cold wind and snowflakes that kept drifting over.

One day later, they found traces of the funeral procession in Yongyuan County.

"Prince, someone has indeed seen a funeral procession buying food and wine in the city. The waiter in the tavern said that they seemed not to go to Anyan County, but to the capital." Fu Yin said with his hands bowed.

"Capital?" Chu Tianyi frowned, turned to look at Li Qingmo, and asked, "Do you really think the disappearance of the Princess Regent is related to them?"

They didn't stop searching along the way, but they still couldn't find any clues.

Nan Xi seemed to have disappeared out of thin air in their world.

Li Qingmo was actually not sure, but he had no other clues now. The funeral procession was definitely suspicious, so he had to chase it.

……

Nan Xi hid in space for two days.

Although there is a supermarket and I don't have to worry about food and drink, I don't dare to stay here for a long time.

This is a coffin. What if she is really buried alive?

Then, feeling that the coffin was no longer moving, she stepped out of the space.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he heard the sound of someone opening the coffin.

"Sir, those two people just now were really sent by the Regent of Dongyue?"

"Nonsense, besides him, who would send someone to follow a team pulling a coffin?"

The body pressed against him was moved away, and Nan Xi held the silver needle between his fingertips, ready to take action at any time.

There was a man's puzzled voice in his ear: "We are clearly lying here well, why did the regent of Dongyue let us go when he inspected us?"

No one knows the truth about this issue except Nan Xi.

She couldn't help but regret.

If I had known I would meet Li Qingmo, I would have come out earlier.

"Haha." A sinister laugh sounded, "Are you awake?"

Nan Xi's hand holding the silver needle was suddenly grabbed, and the silver needles were taken away.

Before she could open her eyes, her acupuncture points were sealed. She didn't even see the appearance of the person in front of her, and could only hear his cold and proud voice.

"As expected of the woman he fell in love with, her reaction was quick. In this situation, she was not frightened to tears, and she even wanted to fight back."

A hand caressed Nan Xi's face, his voice full of malice.

"For you, he searched almost all over Western Chu, even the little emperor Dongyue didn't care. It seems that he really cares about you. I suddenly thought of a better way to torture him, hehehe."

Nan Xi's cheeks were pinched, his lips were opened, and a pill was stuffed in.

It melted in her mouth, and she lost consciousness before she even had time to discern the ingredients of the pill.

……

The capital city of Western Chu.

Li Qingmo and the others found the abandoned coffin outside the city.

The bodies inside are still there. This time Lan Jue took out the body and inspected the coffin carefully.

"Master, look."

He found a silver needle in the coffin.

"Could this be a girl's?"

Li Qingmo took the silver needle. Although the silver needle was nothing special, he seemed to feel Nan Xi's breath on it.

"They threw away the coffin. Did they really bring the regent princess into the capital?" Chu Tianyi's mind was in a mess now.

Judging from the current situation, the person who captured Nan Xi is most likely from Western Chu.

If Li Qingmo wants to vent his anger and use this as an excuse to send troops to Western Chu...

Chu Tianyi no longer dared to think deeply.

After entering the city, Li Qingmo checked into an inn and avoided Chu Tianyi on several trips.

Chu Tianyi knew that it was him who contacted Zai Zuo in Xichu.

The next day, the snow stopped, the wind subsided, it was a rare sunny day, and there were more people on the street.

"Commander Li from the east of the city has married his daughter and is handing out wedding cakes and bacon. Everyone, please go quickly."

"And bacon? Is Mr. Li's daughter finally married?"

"I am marrying the eldest princess's son, and from now on he will be a relative of the emperor."

Li Qingmo stood at the window on the second floor of the inn, listening to the people on the street outside talking incessantly.

Many people walked towards Yuan Li's house.

His eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he was a little lost in thought.

dong dong!

After a knock on the door, Lan Jue walked in.

"Master, our people have all dispersed, but there is still no news at all."

Li Qingmo came back to his senses and asked, "Where is Prince Chu?"

Lan Jue: "The Emperor of Western Chu knew that Prince Chu had returned to the capital and summoned him to the palace."

Li Qingmo nodded and looked out the window again.

The people who got the wedding cakes and bacon were very happy, and the smiles on their lips could not be hidden, as if they were the ones who were going to have the wedding.

Li Qingmo's hand was touching the window, and his fingertips were tapping at a very fast speed. The anxiety in his heart could no longer be described in words.

"Lan Jue."

"My subordinate is here." Lan Jue took a few steps forward.

Li Qingmo asked: "If it were you, where would you take Nan'er?"

Lan Jue thought for a while and said, "It depends on the purpose of taking the girl away. If it is to threaten me, then there will definitely be actions against me or Dongyue, but the news from home is , The emperor is safe and sound, and there is nothing wrong with the emperor."

Li Qingmo turned around and said, "Continue."

Lan Jue added: "If it is for pure revenge, then just kill the girl directly. There is no need to take the risk of taking the girl so far, unless...unless the girl's existence is still useful to them, but what specifically, I haven’t thought of it yet.”

After a pause, he continued: "The girl's temperament is not one to be easily caught. It stands to reason that she will find a way to leave some clues for us, but now we have found nothing. There is only one possibility, that is, the girl is not conscious. Or is it……"

He didn't dare to say the rest.

The four words "bad luck" and "bad luck" may seem light, but they are enough to be the last straw that breaks Li Qingmo's mind.

Li Qingmo looked at him deeply, turned around and continued to look out the window.

More and more people went to receive wedding cakes and bacon, and the whole street was filled with joy, which was in sharp contrast to the sadness in Li Qingmo's heart at this time. (End of chapter)
