Chapter 716: Accidents
In the second half of the night, there were snowflakes in the sky.
The snowflakes are light and fluttering, not as noisy as raindrops, so it does not affect Mu Yingbao in her sleep at all.
When the sky was bright, someone knocked on the door outside the Xinuan Pavilion, knocking very quietly, but a little urgently.
The first to hear it was Xue Wenyu, who knew that this was another important matter.
Gently and skillfully got out of bed, tucked the quilt for his daughter-in-law, and then reached out and pulled the cotton robe on, and walked out.
The knocker was also very knowledgeable and didn't keep knocking.
Xue Wenyu opened the door, only to find that it was snowing, and the yard was white.
"What's the matter, let's go to the study." Xue Wenyu said to his subordinates in a low voice.
It was Hua Liang who knocked on the door, and followed him into the study.
"Master, I'm back." Hua Liang was a little excited.
Xue Wenyu frowned when he heard this, what do you mean, who is back?
Hua Liang also reacted violently, he was too frizzy; "Back to the master, the eighth princess of Yunning Kingdom, Ziyun, is back."
"Coming back? How did you come back and when it happened, let's talk about it in more detail. Xue Wenyu was not excited, but felt very surprised.
When you don't see it, it's inexplicable.
Now, it's back?
"Back to the master, just an hour ago, my subordinates took people to stare near the official post, and the people of the Kong gang were staring there, and the first half of the night was as normal as before, but in the middle of the night, the people on both sides of us found someone coming almost at the same time, and there was more than one.
So, we thought about calming down and waiting for someone to be in range before taking it.
However, those people were very alert, and they were all about to enter within our control, but suddenly they found an ambush, and they withdrew.
His subordinates and the people of the Kong Gang Leader chased after him. Hua Liang reported very carefully.
Xue Wenyu suddenly interrupted him; "You all went after it, and there was no one left in the same place?"
When Hua Liang heard this, he immediately responded; "Go back to the master, stay, the subordinates are not stupid to that extent, how can they not prevent them from leaving the mountain. Not only did the subordinates leave two people, but even the Kong gang leader also left people to continue to stare at it. ”
At this point, Hua Liang paused, looked at the master, and saw that the master did not mean to speak, so he continued with great annoyance; "I didn't think about it, even if we left someone, it was still useless, and when we returned, we heard something strange in the official post, went in to check, and heard the screams of the maid in the suite where the eighth princess lived.
It turned out that the eighth princess was already on the bed in the house, just unconscious. ”
When Xue Wenyu heard this, from the expressions of his subordinates, he had basically concluded; "You and that Kong Lian's people chased after each other, but they were all fruitless, right?"
Hua Liang knelt on one knee; "The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the master."
After guarding for so many days, they were still busy in vain, and people fled without a trace under their noses, and the eight princesses returned to the room of the official post under their noses.
Although Xue Wenyu's subordinates have different personalities, one thing is the same, that is, whenever they fail to do things, they will never make excuses for themselves, and they will not preach and emphasize how powerful the other party is, but everything will be found in themselves, they are too incompetent, so they fail!
Looking at the unmelted snowflakes on his hair and shoulders, how could Xue Wenyu still reprimand him again; "It's not your fault, get up and speak."
"Thank you, master." Hua Liang didn't insist, and when the master spoke, he immediately got up and stood straight.
"It's snowing tonight, but the amount of snow is not large, and when my subordinates are chasing after them, they want to follow the footprints on the snow. But all of a sudden, the footprints disappeared into thin air. The area where the footprints disappeared was empty, with no trees and no houses.
It's as if a person has reached that position, and suddenly he doesn't have to walk on his feet, but he has wings and flies.
Master, is there really someone in this world who is so good that he can step on the snow without a trace? ”
Xue Wenyu shook his head, if he has practiced to the highest level, he can't step on the snow without a trace, or float on the water, it is just the storyteller's exaggerated propaganda; "It must have been that they walked backwards on their own, using some method to cover up the footprints left on the snow.
Even if you are not far behind, but in this weather tonight, if they had prepared to bring a white cloth robe or something, and put a bag on their bodies, even during the day, they would be afraid that it would be difficult to find it for a while.
What's more, their purpose was to lure you away, so that they could send the princess to the official post for their own people.
So, there's no need to blame yourself. ”
Hua Liang saw that his master was not happy at all, and his heart warmed; "But if they're so well planned, unless?"
"Unless one of them can predict that it will snow tonight." Xue Wenyu spoke it out for him; "Okay, let's talk about other things, what did the people from the mission say? Have you seen Princess Ziyun? ”
Hua Liang told that he had not seen the Ziyun princess with his own eyes, because the people of the mission blocked the door of the princess's room and did not allow others to enter.
The reason why it is certain that Princess Ziyun is back is that Hua Liang is unwilling, so he personally sneaked up to the princess's roof, checked it, and confirmed it.
The princess looked dirty, with a cloak and a hairbeat, not that Hua Liang had a good memory, and she really almost couldn't recognize it, the beggar woman-like person was the princess who was so arrogant and domineering ten days ago.
"Dirty? Hair disheveled, like a beggar? Xue Wenyu muttered, what kind of situation is this? Could it be that he was taken captive by beggars?
"Our men are still staring there, and a few of us are still waiting for dawn where the footprints have disappeared to see if anything will be found. The subordinates will come back first to report, master, what should you do next? Hua Liang's original nervous heart is now completely relieved.
"Wait a minute, let's go take a look." Xue Wenyu said without thinking about it.
"But master, it's not appropriate to go now, right? They're sure they'll not let them see it. Hua Liang said his opinion.
After that, I saw the master looking at himself like a fool.
"Did I say I went to the official post?" After Xue Wenyu finished speaking, he walked out.
He wouldn't be in a hurry to see the princess, he was interested in how those people didn't have footprints.
As long as they do something, if you look closely, you will definitely find clues.
Xue Wenyu entered the bedroom, did not rush to put on his boots, but looked at the person lying on the bed.
As he sat on the edge of the bed and put on his boots, his belt suddenly moved, and when he looked down, he saw a small white hand.
"Are you going to practice martial arts?" Mu Yingbao's voice was languid.
"Just now, Hua Liang said that Princess Ziyun is back, and I want to go out of the city with him to find out something. It's snowing outside, it's still early, so let's lie down a little longer. After Xue Wenyu finished speaking, he put the hand holding his belt to his mouth and kissed it, and put it back in the quilt.
"Oh, there you go." Mu Yingbao really hasn't woken up yet.
Xue Wenyu just felt a little strange, how could she hear the news of the princess's return so calmly, and suddenly saw the sleepy-eyed person who was originally shrunk in the quilt, suddenly sat up, and asked in surprise; "What, who's back?"
Seeing her reaction in hindsight, Xue Wenyu smiled helplessly, reached out to pinch her nose, and gently pressed the person back into the bed; "Yes, you heard it right, it was the princess who came back, and Hua Liang said that she was disheveled and dirty, like a beggar's wife.
I'll tell you, until you figure things out, don't go out to watch the excitement without permission.
At most, I'll be with you when I come back, remember? ”
Xue Wenyu suddenly felt very worried about the quilt in front of him......
