Princess Zhaoli is gone.

Zhao Zheng and the others, under the guidance of Qin Xiaoying, set off to the street where Princess Zhaoli had distributed steamed buns before, but they pounced, and then rushed to the inn where Princess Zhaoli stayed, but they pounced again. The two swoops made these three people more or less anxious.

Wang Wei's face sank to the bottom all of a sudden, as if a layer of dark clouds were shrouded, and anyone could see that he was very dissatisfied at this time.

His dissatisfaction is also understandable, it is all to blame that Qin Xiaoying deliberately came to him to be unlucky, and as a result, Princess Zhaoli has no one around to protect her, if Princess Zhaoli has any advantages and shortcomings during this period, then it will be a big trouble.

In fact, Qin Xiaoying is not in a hurry? As the person responsible for protecting Princess Zhaoli, she has a heavy responsibility, and she is more worried about Princess Zhaoli's safety than Wang Wei.

"Maybe Miss Huang Li and Xiaoyun went shopping somewhere else, don't worry so much about it, I'll shout twice to see." Qin Xiaoying said reassuring words to Wang Wei, but her words didn't sound very confident, more like they were meant for herself.

Wang Wei ignored Qin Xiaoying, still with a stinky face. If the thief he caught saw this stinky face, he would have to be scared and cry.

Qin Xiaoying no longer touched Wang Wei's bad head, but walked to the window, shouted at the window, "Miss Huang Li, where have you been?" I'm Sister Qin, if you hear my voice, you should give it a sound. ”

The sound is not loud, but it is far away under the wrapping of internal force, and it feels like a thousand miles of sound transmission.

In fact, Qin Xiaoying doesn't know how to transmit sound for thousands of miles, and the reason why she can do this kind of thing is only because of her own strength. Warriors only need to be strong to a certain extent. Naturally, many incredible things can be done. There's no need to study. Zhao Zheng is an example. He hadn't cultivated the Eight-Arm Fist in depth before, at most it was just a superficial taste, but after reaching the Eightfold Heaven, he could release four internal force arms at once, which was a kind of natural thing.

After the voice spread, Qin Xiaoying listened attentively, looking forward to hearing Princess Zhaoli's response. As a tenfold heavenly martial artist, she has the ability to perceive celestial beings. She could sense the wind and grass within miles, and she could sense it once Princess Zhaoli responded in the city.

The ability of celestial beings to perceive is very keen, but it is not omnipotent, it is impossible to control all the situations within a few miles, and can only do some targeted exploration. If Princess Zhaoli shouted in the city, Qin Xiaoying would definitely be able to hear it, but if Princess Zhaoli was motionless, Qin Xiaoying would be completely out of order, and she would not be able to find out Princess Zhaoli just by relying on the perception of heaven and man. A sea of people. It's too hard.

The time of the half-pillar incense passed like this, but Princess Zhaoli still did not respond.

Qin Xiaoying's forehead was covered with fine sweat. shouted a few more times at the window, but it was still like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response. She shouted loudly, and if Princess Zhaoli was in the city, she would definitely be able to hear it, and she would definitely respond. There is no response, there are two possibilities, the first is that Princess Zhaoli has gone out of the city to play, and the second possibility is that Princess Zhaoli has an accident!

The second possibility is too terrifying for everyone to think about, and they only hope that it is the first possibility.

"Let's split up and go find Princess Zhaoli. Qin Xiaoying, you stay in the city to look for it, I will look for it outside the city, Zhao Zheng stays here. Before leaving the city, I would say hello to the yamen and ask a few trusted subordinates to help. Everyone went their separate ways, whether they could find it or not, and they had to come back here in two quarters of an hour to make other plans. Wang Wei took a deep breath and set the most suitable search plan according to the current situation.

Wang Wei, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, has an invisible majesty on his body, and naturally became the leader of the three, and the other two have no objection to this arrangement.

The three of them went their separate ways, Wang Wei and Qin Xiaoying jumped out of the window and left the inn, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving Zhao Zheng and Ah Bao alone in the house.

Out of curiosity, Po shook his chubby body, climbed to the window, and looked outside, looking so funny.

In normal times, Zhao Zheng would definitely smile when he saw Ah Bao like this, but now he can't laugh.

The current situation is very serious, if Princess Zhaoli really disappears, it will be no different from the sky falling.

Princess Zhaoli's identity is too high, and after her disappearance, the emperor will definitely be furious and mobilize the whole country to find her. People related to the disappearance will all be implicated, especially Qin Xiaoying, the culprit. In addition, after Princess Zhaoli's disappearance, she will also destroy the matter of harmony, causing the Great Yan Kingdom and the Eight Desolations to fight again, and may even cause the beacon smoke again. At that time, swords and soldiers will rise everywhere, blood will flow like a river, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"I hope Princess Zhaoli is okay." Zhao Zheng shook his head slightly, throwing out all kinds of terrible associations,

Compared with Wang Wei and Qin Xiaoying, Zhao Zheng's task is much simpler, he just needs to wait in place.

Two quarters of an hour is fleeting.

Wang Wei jumped in through the window first, his face was still gloomy, and the answer could be easily read from his face. With the perception of heaven and man, he had already detected the situation in the house in advance, and knew that Princess Zhaoli and Qin Xiaoying had not returned, so after entering the house, he didn't say a word, walked directly to the table, poured a glass of water and drank it in one gulp.

Zhao Zheng knew that Wang Wei must be anxious at this time, so he didn't bother much, but continued to stand by the window, looking at the scenery outside.

It didn't take long for Qin Xiaoying to come back, and even her face became ugly, her eyes seemed evasive, and she didn't dare to look at Wang Wei.

The three of them didn't exchange words much, but the answer was already on the surface.

Princess Zhaoli is indeed missing, and she is nowhere to be seen in the city, as well as outside the city.

Now the problem has become even more serious, to the point that it is like pins and needles.

"Qin Xiaoying, you have to go to prison." Wang Wei broke the calm and said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Qin Xiaoying lost her voice.

"Princess Zhaoli is missing, you have an inseparable responsibility for this matter, and you have to shoulder this responsibility. Before finding Princess Zhaoli. You're going to have to stay in prison and wait for you to get out. I will present this matter to the emperor. Please let the emperor decide. At the same time, all the brocade guards will be dispatched to conduct an all-out search of this area. ”

"No, I can't go to prison, I'm going to go with you to Princess Zhaoli. Anyway, I'm also a ten-fold heavenly martial artist, so I can help. ”

"Don't say that you are a Tenfold Heavenly Martial Artist, even if you are an Eleventh Heavenly Martial Artist or a Twelfth Heavenly Martial Artist, you will have to go to prison. This matter has nothing to do with the cultivation realm, but a legal procedure, and it is not negotiable. ”

Qin Xiaoying's face turned pale instantly, if this matter alarmed the emperor, then the matter would be a big problem, and at that time, she would have to walk around without eating.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the anger of the dragon face is not something that anyone can bear. If the emperor loses his temper, even if he finds Princess Zhaoli afterwards, Qin Xiaoying will be questioned. It is even possible to lose your head for this.

The atmosphere in the room was quietly tense, as if there were invisible palms. strangled the throats of the three of them, only Ah Bao, who didn't know the truth, was still at a loss, playing with the pillow.

At the critical moment, Zhao Zheng coughed lightly, stepped forward to relieve the siege and said, "Brother Wang, don't get excited, this matter has not yet developed to that point." Princess Zhaoli's whereabouts are unknown, and if this matter is reported to the emperor, it will inevitably lead to serious consequences, and no one can afford this consequence. And after this incident became big, it was very unfavorable to Princess Zhaoli. She had changed her face now, and no one could recognize her, and no one knew she was here. If this matter is big and publicized, it is likely to be used by some people with good intentions. At that time, Princess Zhaoli's situation will become even more dangerous. In my opinion, it is better to suppress this matter first, and let us people investigate it first, if it is really impossible to investigate, it is not too late to play the emperor. ”

"What is the difference between this act of concealing the truth and covering one's ears and stealing the bell? If the emperor investigates it afterwards, I will inevitably be implicated in this. Wang Wei said in a deep voice.

"The lesser of two evils, since both options have drawbacks, it is better to take the middle of the two. We set a date, and within this date, don't publicize this matter and play the emperor. If you still can't find Princess Zhaoli after the deadline, it's not too late to play the emperor again. ”

Zhao Zheng's request actually did Qin Xiaoying a big favor, and he was completely interceding for Qin Xiaoying. The latter gave him a grateful look, and then looked at Wang Wei, waiting for Wang Wei's answer.

Wang Wei pondered for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and exhaled, "Okay." Just listen to your opinion and set a deadline for the matter. Within two days, if I can find Princess Zhaoli, I can turn a blind eye and not blame the past. If two days have passed, I must tell the emperor about this matter and send a large number of men to search this place. In addition, during this period, Qin Xiaoying must stay in prison and wait for her fate, and she is not allowed to come out without permission. She is now a scapegoat, and has no right to move around. ”

"No! I can't stay in prison, I have to help find Princess Zhaoli together. Qin Xiaoying's face flushed and said categorically.

"Sister Qin, don't be impatient." Zhao Zheng took the lead and gestured at Qin Xiaoying, "Brother Wang has already made the biggest concession, I hope you can also make concessions, otherwise, this matter will have to be deadlocked." ”

Wang Wei didn't speak, but glared at Qin Xiaoying, and his attitude was revealed.

Qin Xiaoying's gaze changed a few times, and she bit her lip lightly, biting it faintly white, and finally had to compromise: "Okay." I'm willing to go to jail. ”

The matter was thus decided, Qin Xiaoying, who had a heavy responsibility, was temporarily imprisoned, and Wang Wei and Zhao Zheng were responsible for finding Princess Zhaoli with all their might.

Of course, the reason why Qin Xiaoying was imprisoned was just a formality. With Qin Xiaoying's realm cultivation, how could a few brick walls be able to stop it?

……

Darkness, deep darkness.

There was not the slightest light around, and there was not much sound, only the breathing of several people. The breathing sounds are very even, like the kind of breathing that occurs after falling asleep.

In the darkness, someone finally broke the silence and made some stumbling sounds.

The sound was made by Xiaoyun, she had already woken up, and she wanted to speak, but she found that her mouth was entangled in strips of cloth, and her hands and feet were chained, and she couldn't move at all. She was startled, a flash of lightning flashing through her mind, remembering what had happened before she fell unconscious.

"Oh no, Princess Zhaoli and I were attacked!" Xiaoyun gasped, his heart was half cold, and he struggled hard. And constantly make a sound. Trying to wake up Princess Zhaoli beside her.

Although she couldn't see her surroundings clearly. But just by ear and nose, you can roughly feel the surrounding situation, there are many people breathing around, and there is the smell of spices on Princess Zhaoli's body, so Princess Zhaoli must be not far away.

As for where this place is, what kind of place it is, and why the strange man would attack them, these questions are not something that Xiao Yun can speculate about.

Xiaoyun has a foundation, and his skills are not weak. So I woke up early, but Princess Zhaoli didn't have the ability to do this, she seemed to sleep soundly, and she didn't mean to wake up at all.

The sound she made did not wake up Princess Zhaoli, but instead brought trouble.

There was a creak in the darkness, and the door was opened from the outside, and a dim light was cast in, imprinting a tall and thin figure on the ground.

"I really didn't expect you to wake up so quickly, it seems that you have studied martial arts. I'm going to have to take special care of you. The lamp bearer said coldly.

Xiao Yun shuddered, and the hairs on his body stood up. She heard the voice of the lampbearer, the same as the tall, lanky man who had attacked them.

The lamp-bearer walked into the room step by step, and under the illumination of the light, the expression of his face was revealed, the upper part of this face was still immersed in shadows, only the lower part was illuminated by the light, and it looked eerie, like a ghost from the nine shadows.

Xiaoyun made a louder sound and squirmed vigorously, but in vain. With her little internal strength, it was not enough to break the chains on her body.

The tall and thin man walked up to Xiao Yun, leaned over, reached out and pinched Xiao Yun's chin, looked left and right a few times, shook his head and said, "It's really a vulgar fan, people can't raise their appetite, it's better to sell you to others." After that, he shot again and stunned Xiaoyun.

Xiaoyun slowly closed his eyes, and with the help of the light in the hands of the tall and thin man, he vaguely saw Princess Zhaoli lying not far away, but the next moment she was completely unconscious.

The tall and thin man untied the strip of cloth wrapped around Xiao Yun's mouth and stuffed a pill into his mouth. You don't have to guess to know that this pill is by no means a good thing. After dealing with Xiaoyun, he went to check Princess Zhaoli's situation again, probed her body, and found that Princess Zhaoli didn't have much martial arts foundation at all, so he left.

This unknown place has once again plunged into boundless darkness.

……

Night slowly fell, and the last bit of sunlight disappeared from the western sky, as if the hope had completely disappeared.

After being busy for most of the day, Wang Wei, Zhao Zheng and a group of Jinyi guards found nothing, and failed to find Princess Zhaoli. As for the clues, some of them have been investigated.

Several beggars followed Princess Zhaoli for a long distance in order to beg, and during this time, Princess Zhaoli has been safe and sound, and there is nothing unusual about it. In addition to the beggars, several shopkeepers and passers-by also left an impression on Princess Zhaoli, after all, not everyone will follow so many beggars behind them.

However, these people have only seen Princess Zhaoli, and they can't provide more clues.

No one has ever seen Princess Zhaoli go out of the city, and no one has seen Princess Zhaoli killed.

The scope of the search was delineated in the neighborhood after Princess Zhaoli's disappearance and outside Bailong County, especially the suspicious neighborhood, which should be searched carefully, and it is not too much to turn it upside down.

In addition to the normal search, everyone also made a note of the unique spice smell on Princess Zhaoli's body to search for it. The nose of a martial arts master is very smart, and this method of finding people can often achieve miraculous results.

Since many women have disappeared here for no reason before, everyone naturally linked the disappearance of Princess Zhaoli to them, suspecting that the two cases were committed by the same person. The probability of this speculation is very high, but there is no relevant evidence, and there are no relevant clues, it is just a speculation like a castle in the air, and it is not of much use.

After some exchanges, everyone decided on the next search plan and decided to search overnight without resting. At such a juncture, no one can sleep.

Originally, Zhao Zheng was supposed to help continue the search, but he came up with other ideas and had his own plans.

"Brother Wang, I want to act separately from you, you go to investigate yours, and I will investigate mine. If I have any major gains, I will come back to you, or inform the other brocade guards. Zhao Zheng proposed.

"That's fine, you can go it alone. Remember to be careful on the road, judging from all indications, Princess Zhaoli is more likely to be attacked, and the person who captured her must not be an idle person. Wang Wei reminded.

Zhao Zheng nodded, said goodbye to Wang Wei and several brocade guards, and flew into the night.

The reason why he wanted to act separately was because he considered that this matter might be related to Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice. If this is the case, there is no need to participate in the investigation anymore, and the target should be on Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice, and targeted actions should be taken. In this way, you can save unnecessary trouble, directly rescue Princess Zhaoli, and by the way, pierce the mask of Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice.

If he guesses wrong, there is no loss, those people under Wang Wei are good at solving cases, no more than him, no less than him, no less, it will not affect the overall situation.

"In my memory, there shouldn't have been a disappearance of Princess Zhaoli, but this time it was because of me that things have changed unexpectedly?" Zhao Zheng muttered secretly while flying in the air.

If he hadn't delayed Wang Wei's trip for two days, Wang Wei would not have been one step late and arrived in Bailong County today. If Wang Wei hadn't been late, he wouldn't have met Qin Xiaoying. If Qin Xiaoying hadn't come over to find Wang Wei's bad luck, Princess Zhaoli would not have disappeared......

Among them, there seems to be a faint causal connection. (To be continued......)
