Hongdou looked at the few people in the room who had no clue, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard, and his face turned red with so much strength.

Yan Xiaowei was really startled when she heard the sound of "pop", and when she looked back at the voice, she saw that Hongdou had a five-finger mountain clearly printed on her face, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed the hand she was still about to beat, and anxiously stopped: "Hongdou, what are you doing here!" ”

Hongdou bit his lower lip tightly with his upper teeth, and hung his head in remorse: "It's all because I was negligent and didn't take care of the princess, if I offered to sleep with the princess at night, this wouldn't have happened!" ”

Yan Xiaowei listened to her words, silent, but felt very guilty in her heart. In fact, Princess Ruixiang lives alone, isn't it because she hates herself and doesn't want to get along with herself, so she willfully says that she wants to live alone. Looking at it this way, her disappearance has a lot to do with herself, and for a while, a sense of guilt arises spontaneously, and her face becomes gray.

Baili Ye Su put the candlestick on the table, looked at the two people with sad faces, and slowly spoke: "How can Ruixiang's matter be because of you?" Although Ruixiang is usually a little arrogant, she still knows what to do and what not to do. And according to her timid character, she is in such a strange place, and she will definitely not run around after returning to the room. What's more, Red Bean has already locked the door from the outside. So, I estimate that there is a good chance that our group will be in a troop. Jiu had already been targeted, and someone took her away while we were all away, otherwise how could Ruixiang be so clean and disappear without a trace? ”

Saying that, he looked at Yan Xiaoyi, and after a short pause, he fell on Hongdou: "Her disappearance has nothing to do with you, even if you are with her tonight, your weak body will not play a role, and it is estimated that they will disappear together." ”

Yan Xiaowei bit her lip, looking at the loss of her sister, she was so anxious that she had to comfort others, Baili Yesu, and wanted to comfort him. But now that Princess Ruixiang's whereabouts are unknown, everything she says is in vain. So he took a deep breath and walked over to sit on the chair opposite him: "In your opinion, if she was taken captive, who would have done it?" The doors and windows are locked, how did they get in? ”

A sentence was asked at the key point of the question, and she not only said her own questions, but also asked the questions of everyone present! As soon as the words fell, everyone's breath in the room became heavy because of the anxiety in their hearts, and although they didn't even make eye contact with each other, they could imagine what was hidden in the eyes of the people around them.

Baili Ye Su shook his head slowly: "I don't know, if you don't know our identity, you just came for people and money, and you might be staring at our bandits and robbers along the way." However, if we know our identities and come to kidnap people, then the scope will be larger, and the involvement will be more, which is what I am most worried about. ”

Yan Xiaowei thought about it carefully: "Anyway, when we went upstairs to sleep, it was about three o'clock, and then we met the man who choked in the corridor, and we delayed for a while, and everyone dispersed until the time, at that time I clearly remembered that Princess Ruixiang was still there, and she complained a few words because of the noise of the people around her." Later, I, Yaxiang and Hongdou went back to the room to sleep, and Hongdou went to Princess Ruixiang's room halfway to investigate, and found that the princess was missing, and it was about the time of the child when we woke us up. It's been such a long time, I really don't know when it happened. ”

She swept her eyes around and pursed the corners of her lips: "It's imperative, let's see if the people in the inn did it." Don't startle the snake first, take stock of Princess Ruixiang's things and see if there is anything missing. Then he sent someone downstairs to the guy and asked him if anyone had borrowed the key from him or something. After all, the doors and windows are locked, which is equivalent to a closed room, there are no traces of prying on the windows and doors, and it is impossible for people to really know how to penetrate the wall. Now that you're in, you're sure to leave some clues. ”

Baili Yesu nodded: "Red Bean, you are most familiar with Ruixiang's things, you go and see if there is anything missing." Haiming, you secretly go downstairs to chat with the guy at the front desk and see if you can come up with any useful information. Let's check it as quickly as possible, but it really can't be done, so we quickly notify the capital before dawn, and let the father and mother send additional manpower. ”

Although he said so, Yan Xiaowei and everyone present knew that if they could find Princess Ruixiang with their own strength, they would try not to alarm the capital, so as soon as he gave the order, Hongdou and Haiming were immediately busy. The others scattered around the inn again to see if there was any sign of it.

Yan Xiaowei looked at the sorrow between Baili Ye's eyebrows and sighed softly. At this time, instead of saying anything, it is better to help be more practical.

She walked over to Hongdou and helped her put Princess Ruixiang's baggage on the bed, and took it out to count it as she did.

After a long time, the things in the baggage were finally taken out, and Yan Xiaoyu asked from the side, "How is it?" Is there something missing? ”

Hongdou shook his head: "It's not less, Princess Ruixiang's silver and head are all there, and that bad guy doesn't seem to be here for money." ”

It's not for money, it's for people.

Her heart sank suddenly, her hand slipped, and one of Princess Ruixiang's golden hairpins fell to the ground along Yan Xiaocun's fingers, and rolled down to the bed.

Yan Xiaoyu helplessly knelt on the ground and looked under the bed, and the golden hairpin actually rolled down to the foot of the bed. She threw herself on the ground and stretched out her arms before picking up the hairpin.

When I took it and handed it to the red bean, I suddenly noticed that there was white powder on my sleeve. This is strange, if you don't clean it often, even if dust accumulates under the bed, it should be black. But how can there be white powder here?

She tilted her head, raised her hand and sniffed at the stained sleeve of her coat, which actually had a pungent smell.

She intuitively felt that this thing was not simple, and hurriedly pulled her sleeves and walked to Baili Yesu's side: "Your Highness the Nine, look at what this white powder is, I just found it from under Princess Ruixiang's bed!" ”

Baili Ye Su tugged at her sleeve and sniffed it, and stretched out a finger to pick up a little powder. Yan Xiaowei didn't have time to stop it, so he saw him put the powder on the tip of his tongue and taste it.

Before long, his face sank, and a sonorous voice smashed on Yan Xiaoyi's body: "It's not good, it's ecstasy!" Now it's certain that Ruixiang must have been taken away by someone who was stunned! ”

As if to confirm his words, Hai Ming walked in from the outside, opened his mouth and said to a few people: "I knocked on the side and asked the guy at the front desk, and in the middle of the night, a man said that the lock of his room door could not be opened, so he borrowed the key to the front desk and gave him a tael of silver as a reward. ”

Baili Ye Su Huoran stood up from the chair: "What does that man look like, is he a resident of this inn?" ”

Hai Ming nodded: "I asked, and it was said that the guest who stayed tonight was from a previous caravan." In the evening we ate downstairs and the man was there! A short, bearded man with a scar between his eyebrows! ”

No wonder Yan Xiaoyun felt that when she went upstairs, there seemed to be someone listening to them, and now that she thinks about it, maybe a few people were targeted at that time! Thinking about it like this, the cold sweat on my back suddenly rushed up!

Baili Ye Su slapped his palm on the table: "Since this is the case, then what are you waiting for, do you know which room that person lives in?" Let's go ask him! ”

Hai Ming nodded: "I found out where I lived, but we have no evidence to prove that Princess Ruixiang was really taken away by the person who borrowed the key, what if someone dies and doesn't admit it?" ”

Baili Ye Su frowned: "Without evidence, they can't be easily spared!" Let's take a look! ”

As he spoke, several people walked out of the room and knocked on the door outside the innermost room on the second floor.

After knocking for a long time, people began to be dissatisfied in the surrounding guest rooms, and the door was opened from the inside.

Baili Ye Su grabbed the man's collar when he went up, and the man who opened the door was startled, struggling with his two hands and shouting in a low voice: "What are you doing here, disturbing people's dreams?" ”

Baili Ye Su looked over the man's shoulder in the dimly lit room behind him, and there was only one person in the room who opened the door, and there was no one else. Then he asked in a deep voice, "What about your companion with a scar on his eyebrow?" ”

The man was stunned: "What kind of companion with a scar, I am alone in this house!" ”

Baili Yesu used both hands to lift him up, the man's throat was tightly clamped by the collar, and he couldn't catch his breath in the last period, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "It's really true, this house is really me!" There really is no such thing as a companion with a scar! ”

Baili Ye Su dragged the person over and pushed him into the corner: "I warn you, Ye is a person you can't afford to provoke." Tell you the truth, there is a short, bearded man in your caravan with a scar between his eyebrows, where the hell is he now? ”

The man was stunned: "Ah, uncle, you said him!" He wasn't from our caravan, he was met on the road when we were in a caravan. He said that the carriage he rented broke down halfway, and he was in a hurry to go to Yanggu for something, so he begged us to give him a ride. There were many people and many cars in our caravan, and there was no more than him, and no less than him, so we took it with us. This man had dinner with us in the evening, but after eating, he said that he was in a hurry and had already left! ”

Baili Ye Su strangled his neck hard, and asked with a heavy gaze, "What you said is true?" ”

The man rubbed his hands together and begged for mercy: "Don't worry, everything you say is the truth, if you don't believe it, you can ask the rest of our caravan now!" ”

Baili Ye Su frowned: "Then why did the guy at the front desk say that the man lived in a guest room with you, and lent him the spare key?" ”

The man's face was flushed by his hand, and he coughed a few times, and his voice became even darker: "Then I don't know, maybe he deliberately pretended to be us!" Hero's life, this matter has nothing to do with me and our caravan! A few of us counted nine cold days to make a little money by pouring a little spice, although we walked the whole hundred miles to all over the world, but we really didn't do anything hurtful to the sky at all! Don't look at our brothers who look sinister, they are all tired of doing physical work from south to north, and they are definitely not bandits and robbers! ”

He was strangled out of breath, and his legs were even more frightened and trembling by Baili Yesu's powerful aura. Baili Yesu knocked on the door of another room next to the man, and restrained the two men inside in the same way, and the result of questioning was the same, the man who disappeared was really not from the caravan.

Since it wasn't a gang, it was useless to hold on to the caravan's people. Baili Ye solemnly let go of the collar of his subordinates, and there was some lingering tiredness between his eyebrows, as if he had lost his soul, he wandered back to Princess Ruixiang's room like a puppet.

Yan Xiaowei looked at his back and felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing that the man before was about to close the door and go back to the room, Yan Xiaoyan quickly stretched out his foot to block the door. Seeing that the door could not be closed, the man did not dare to hurt her, and begged for mercy with a sad face: "I said aunt, what else do you want to do!" As I said, the person you're looking for has nothing to do with us. Why are you still holding on to me, my neck is about to be broken by your accomplices, and now it still hurts! ”

Yan Xiaoyan hooked her lips at him: "Big brother, I'm not here to trouble you." I want to ask you, what is that man's name, where is he from, and what is he doing! We have something very important missing, and we suspect it has something to do with him. So you can do it and help us think about any useful information about him and let me know! ”

The man waved his hand in annoyance: "How do I know where he is and what he does!" It's just a hitchhiker, who chatters so much with him! Put your feet back, I'm going to sleep! Otherwise, it won't hurt you to close the door! ”

Yan Xiaoyan saw that he stretched out his hand to close the door, and hurriedly used all his strength to push the door and squeezed the other foot in.

Seeing this, the man scratched his head irritably: "I said, are you planning to fight me to the death tonight?" Why am I so unlucky, I was disturbed by you guys when I fell asleep! ”

Yan Xiaowei blinked: "Big brother, you can help think about it!" It's really important to us. As you saw just now, the other of our companions is in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything to you and your companions! ”

The man shook his neck and said helplessly: "I also want to help you, but I really don't know anything." If you force me, I can't help it. ”

When he said this, he must really not understand.

Yan Xiaowei had no choice but to take out her two feet from the crack in the door in frustration. At this moment, she regretted it very much, before leaving Beijing, because Baili Yesu had already brought the guards, Yan Xiaoyan thought that there would be no mistakes on the road with the protection of the palace guards, and seeing that there were no extra carriages and horses for her shadow guards, she insisted on letting the keel stay in the capital to protect Yan's father.

Now that I think about it, if they let the keels ride their own horses and follow behind the carriage, wouldn't it make up for the lack of palace guards?

With them, any disturbances in the vicinity will definitely not escape their eyes, so Princess Ruixiang will not disappear so easily.

She was feeling sorry for herself, when suddenly the man opened the door that had been closed and beckoned to her: "Hey, this girl, I suddenly remembered something! I don't know if it's useful! ”

Yan Xiaoyi came back to her senses and hurriedly asked: "Whether it's useful or not, what you think of, just tell me!" ”

The man thought for a moment: "Our caravan met the man in the woods around Ming Camel in the morning, and he said that he was going to Yanggu, so he got into our car. We talked casually, he said that he was from Donglin and went to Yanggu to join his relatives, and then he said that he was tired, so he leaned on the car and fell asleep, and the conversation was broken. ”

"But", he frowned suddenly: "Being asked by you like this, I suddenly feel that something is wrong." He said that he was from Donglin, and although he had a northern accent in his accent, as far as I knew, although Donglin was located in the north, because the people there were basically immigrants from the remnants of the dragon vein in the capital, so people did not speak with a pure northern accent, but mixed with some official dialects of the capital. But this person's accent doesn't have the taste of Beijing at all, which is very strange when I think about it now. ”

As he spoke, he paused, as if he had suddenly thought of something unusual, and his brows became more and more furrowed: "Moreover, he said that he went to his relatives, but he didn't have any baggage on his body, isn't it strange?" On top of that, he said that he was going to Yanggu to visit his relatives, and our caravan was also going to Yanggu, so why did he leave us at night? Since you have taken our car, why don't you go to Yanggu together to make a speech? The black light is blinding, it's very cold outside, and he doesn't even have a horse himself, how can he get to Yanggu? ”

Yan Xiaoyun pursed her lips: "Since you think it's strange, why didn't you keep him when he said goodbye?" ”

The man tilted his head at her: "You see that your girl doesn't travel often, this is out of the house, and when you meet fate, if others have any difficulties, let's try to help if we can." However, in the end, everyone is a stranger, others have their own plans, and everyone has their own place. You have to come and go, you can't force it. It's about respecting others, and it's also about protecting oneself. After all, walking on the road all year round, I meet too many people of all kinds. The more you know about others, the more you can get into a dangerous situation. ”

Yan Xiaowei knew that what he said was reasonable, and hurriedly nodded to him to thank him and say goodbye.

The man nodded at her and closed the door, leaving her alone in the hallway.

Yan Xiaowei groaned in her heart at this time, if she thought right, that person might not really want to go to Yanggu, maybe he was ambushed on this road and deliberately came to the inn with the people of this caravan to hide his identity. When his purpose was accomplished, he slipped away.

However, what is his origin, and why did he kidnap Princess Ruixiang?

Just as he was thinking, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps behind him!
