He's dreaming! It's a dream! His Royal Highness King Qi looked at the * and familiar fat face above the roof in amazement, the snow-white cat hair, the round and blue eyes, and the tight, pretending to disdain little expression, all indicating that it was a cat he was familiar with.

However, His Royal Highness King Qi thought about it, and he couldn't think of a reason why it would appear here. Brother Shun's pet cat, why did he appear on the roof where he was kidnapped? Could it be that it came to save him!

King Qi was surging and excited on one side, and on the other side there was a small, rational voice talking to him, cats can be relied on, pigs can go up trees. What is it that he is doing today? It's not this cat who caused the harm! With its short fat limbs, or its small mouth that specializes in eating human tofu, can it rescue him?

Unless it's followed by someone!

Could it be that Lord Rui knew that he had been kidnapped and personally brought someone to save him? So, this cat is just here to fight the front, and the real rescue is still to come! King Qi felt as if he had figured it out, and then he relieved himself, forced back the tears in his eyes, and nodded to Xu Yu above.

Xu You was stunned, she didn't expect His Royal Highness King Qi to have the spirit of a revolutionary optimist, to such a point, and to be so calm, it really didn't look like his usual appearance at all.

In broad daylight, there were still people guarding the yard, and Xu You didn't dare to rush to the rescue. She gently "meowed" to His Royal Highness King Qi, retracted her head, carefully covered the tiles, and then surveyed the terrain around the courtyard to find the best escape route.

At the same time in the capital, the distress letter covered with the palm print of the plum blossom had been sent to the Rui Wang's Mansion, and he was lying quietly on the desk in the Rui Wangye's study. The little boy who was waiting in the study curiously picked up the letter and looked at it carefully, and muttered a little suspiciously, "Whoever sent this can't write a word......

As soon as the table was cleaned up, Lord Rui entered the house with Zhao Chengjin in his arms. Rui Wang Ye usually does not let his son into the study, but these days, Zhao Chengjin's mood is particularly low, since he lost the cat, he has never seen him smile again, and he has been secretly wiping his tears for the first few days, although he doesn't cry anymore, he still doesn't like to talk much, and he has lost weight, and his round bun face suddenly thinned down, and he is very distressed to see Rui Wangye.

"Didn't Brother Shun say that he wanted to come to the study to find a book to read? The bookshelf is over there, Brother Shun can find any books you want, if you can't get it, let your father help you, okay. Lord Rui touched the back of Zhao Chengjin's head with a loving face, and said gently.

Zhao Chengjin's mood was still not very high, he responded in a low voice, and stood aside without moving. Seeing him like this, Lord Rui felt more and more uncomfortable, paused, and coaxed patiently: "Brother Shun helps my father read the letter, okay?" However, I just don't know if you recognize so many words. ”

Zhao Cheng pursed his mouth and didn't speak, and after a while, he nodded lightly and walked to the desk. Lord Rui was a little settled in his heart, and motioned to the scholar waiting in the room to hand the stack of letters on the case to Zhao Chengjin.

Although Zhao Chengjin has not been in school for a long time, he is really smart, he can recognize thousands of words at a young age, and he can understand the general meaning when he reads the letter. He quickly read the two letters, and Lord Rui praised him happily, Zhao Chengjin's face finally improved, and the sadness that had been shrouded in his eyebrows dissipated slightly.

The next one—well, the waiting scholar paused slightly, wondering whether he should put the strange letter away first. Just as he was hesitating, Zhao Chengjin's hand had already reached over, and the scholar hurriedly opened the envelope, only to find that it was empty.

"Huh?" The scholar was more and more surprised, "It's empty," he said, and glanced up at Lord Rui.

Lord Rui didn't care, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it, look at the next one." ”

Zhao Chengjin took the envelope silently, and the scholar explained to him in a low voice, "Maybe someone is playing a prank, and the prince doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Zhao Chengjin didn't seem to hear his words, his eyes stared at the frizzy little pieces of paper posted on the envelope without blinking, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, I flipped the envelope over again. As soon as his eyes caught a glimpse of the lovely plum blossom footprints, his body jumped to his feet, and he cried out with excitement.

"What's wrong?" Lord Rui was shocked, hurriedly dropped the pen in his hand and rushed forward to hold Zhao Cheng in his arms, "Brother Shun has nothing to do, there is nothing to do, my father is here." ”

Zhao Cheng exhaled heavily, his red little face slowly sank, and he was finally able to speak, "Snow ...... Xue Tuan ......" His eyes flashed with a strange and surprising light, and he pointed to the plum blossom footprints on the envelope and said excitedly to Lord Rui: "Father, it's a letter from Xue Tuan." ”

Lord Rui: "......"

"Look here," Zhao Chengjin saw the helplessness on Prince Rui's face, and hurriedly pointed it out to him, "These are the footprints of the snow group, I recognize it." When I painted, Xuetuan always liked to imprint its footprints on the painting, and my father didn't believe it, so he asked Cui Yu to compare my paintings. ”

His expression was very serious, at this moment, his face had the usual brilliance, Rui Wang Ye found that he couldn't refuse at all, he nodded to the scholar hard, the scholar understood, and hurriedly went to Liyuan.

Once Zhao Chengjin was sure that this letter was sent by Xu You, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he had a reasonable idea, "Father, look, Xuetuan can't write, so he pasted these small pieces of paper on it, it must have been picked with his fingernails, so it was frizzy, father, did you say?" ”

Rui Wangye held his forehead and didn't know what to do, although Zhao Chengjin was very excited now, but once his hope broke, he might be even more desperate and sad, so Rui Wangye gritted his teeth and reminded his son in a low voice, "Brother Shun, Xuetuan her...... I don't think I'm literate. ”

"However, isn't there a plaque with the three words Rui Wangfu hanging at the door of our palace?" Zhao Cheng blinked and said, "The snow group passes by the door every day, and I see a lot, so I remember it." He looked right, "Xuetuan is very smart, it's the smartest cat in the whole world." ”

Lord Rui no longer knows what to say.

After about a quarter of an hour, the scholar finally returned, and Princess Rui and Mama Su followed, and as soon as they entered the house, Princess Rui asked nervously: "Is there any news from the snow group?" Zhu'an couldn't say it clearly, so I simply came over and asked in person. ”

Lord Rui smiled bitterly in embarrassment, shook his head and said, "I received a letter today, and Brother Shun said that it was written by Xue Tuan." ”

Princess Rui immediately understood that he had just laughed so hard for what he was doing.

Zhao Chengjin was unaware of the worries of King Rui and his wife, he hurriedly snatched the painting in the hand of the scholar Zhu'an, unfolded it quickly, and carefully compared the plum blossom footprints on the envelope, and then shouted happily, "Father, father, come and see, it is the footprints of the snow group, and it is not bad." ”

Prince Rui and Princess Rui glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise and surprise in each other's eyes. Lord Rui didn't speak this time, walked to the desk like a stream, carefully compared the footprints on the painting with the footprints on the envelope, and then, he was stupid.

"Is it really a snow ball?" When Princess Rui saw his look, she couldn't guess where she was, and she couldn't tell whether she was surprised or surprised for a while. Fortunately, the husband and wife are both open-minded and open-minded people, even if they see such a bizarre thing, they can quickly calm down, and Lord Rui was stunned for a while before returning to normal, and Zhengse ordered Zhu'an: "Let Commander Wei quickly go and find out the origin of this letter." After thinking about it, he urged: "Be quick!" ”

There is really one in the palace...... Divine cat, Rui Wang Ye thought silently.

…………

His Royal Highness King Qi has been silently waiting for Prince Rui to lead the men and horses to rescue him from the sky with a wonderful mood, but he waited, waited, waited, waited, waited until it was dark, and Prince Rui still did not come. At this time, His Royal Highness King Qi finally felt that something was wrong.

He knows the character of Lord Rui, but as long as he knows that he is imprisoned here, Lord Rui will come to save people immediately, and he will not be immobile for a long time. Well, there is only one explanation - the cat is fighting alone, without backup.

His Royal Highness King Qi is about to cry, all his net worth and life are pinned on a cat, just thinking about it feels unreliable, but the problem is that now he really has no other hope except for this cat. His greatest wish now was that the fat cat could be as omnipotent as its little owner had praised him.

Time passed little by little, and King Qi pricked up his ears to listen to the voices outside. The guard must have gone to sleep, and there was no movement in the courtyard, and from nowhere, there was a chirping birdsong, faintly, and it was not really heard. King Qi couldn't sleep, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the top of his head without blinking, expecting that the tile above the roof would be lifted again, and then a fat face would come out.

He was looking forward to it sadly, when there was a slight creaking sound at the door, King Qi was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned his head to look, by the faint moonlight, he clearly saw that the door slowly opened, and Xuetuan's fat body jumped out from behind the door, and gently "meowed" at him with a suppressed voice.

His Royal Highness King Qi suddenly burst into tears.

He looked behind the door expectantly, but no one showed up. So, it was really this lone hero who came to the door alone to save him? His Royal Highness King Qi was extremely disappointed at the same time, but also faintly moved in his heart.

Xu You was not busy for half a day, under the incredulous gaze of His Royal Highness King Qi, she took the scissors borrowed from the courtyard next door behind the King of Qi, hugged the scissors with difficulty with her two paws, and finally cut the rope with great effort......

Let's go!

Xu You was a little impatient and "meowed" to King Qi, His Royal Highness King Qi woke up like a dream, only then did he come to his senses, wiped his face a little confused, and followed Xu You out of the door quickly.

It was quite dark outside, Xu Yu walked like a fly, and King Qi also followed, walking cautiously with his waist bent, while looking around worriedly, for fear of alarming the guards in the house. The more nervous he was, the more likely he was to make mistakes, and he didn't even pay attention to the steps under his feet, and fell with a "bang-" thud.

The guards in the house immediately woke up and shouted, "Who is it?" ”

King Qi was frightened, got up in a panic and ran, the guard quickly lit the lamp and rushed out, ran to the door and pulled the door-

"Ahh......h

The door is locked!

It was a cat that did it! This guy can actually lock the door!

King Qi was startled at first, but when he thought about his heroic performance tonight, he felt that it didn't seem to be a big deal for the cat to lock the door.
