Feng Tianyao was frightened when she heard this, and she didn't think that Cao Ran's girl would leave such a sentence before leaving. Then she stabilized her mind, and she didn't say that it had anything to do with herself, and there was no corner tower in the middle of the lake in the whole garden, but it was just a place where she talked nonsense. In order to dissociate herself from herself, she also took Cao Ran to the most unnoticeable side door, and the guards guarding the door were also transferred.

Yu Wenhua stared at the soldiers on the side and asked, "Why did this king never know that there was a corner tower in the middle of the lake near here?" ”

The soldier was also at a loss, and lowered his head and asked the little guard kneeling on the ground: "Are you thinking about whether you heard it wrong, how can there be a corner tower in the middle of the lake in the garden!" If you talk nonsense, you will be pulled out and dealt with by military law. ”

The little guard was so frightened that his legs trembled even more, and his mouth did not obey: "No...... Don't dare to talk nonsense, it's the corner tower in the middle of the lake...... That's right. ”

Yu Wenhua's gloomy face frowned slightly, and he slapped the table: "A living person can still disappear out of thin air!" Send someone to look for it immediately, and no one will be allowed to leave here if no one can be found! ”

Everyone acted one after another, Feng Qianyao stopped Yu Wenhua's way uninterestingly, and still said without giving up: "Qianyao specially prepared a dance banquet for His Highness and brother, Miss Cao must just go out for a walk and there will be no accidents, it is better to let them find it first, Your Highness has been busy for so long, let's go and rest first." ”

Yu Wenhua glanced at Feng Ping on the side, and said impatiently: "Take care of your sister, if you lose it, this king doesn't have the temperament to help you find it!" ”

Feng Qianyao bit her lower lip and chopped it hard, he didn't take her in his eyes like that! It was like that six years ago, and it's still like this six years later. She Feng Qianyao is the daughter of a rich family known as the first beauty in Qiongdu City, she is cheeky like an emperor begging for a marriage contract to block most of the rich sons in Qiongdu City, and how can she tolerate the passing of six years of youth in exchange for his attitude. She looked at Yu Wenhua's departing back, and secretly vowed that one day she must let him only have herself in his eyes. Seeing everyone scrambling like headless flies, a sneer crossed her lips, even if you turn the huge garden upside down, when you find it, it will only be a corpse.

Feng Ping walked over and stroked his sister's shoulders twice, and said, "My eldest lady, you have already done what you should and shouldn't do, and he is not facing you with that ice cube face." My brother doesn't understand, what's so good about him, a royal adopted son is just a dog used to watch the family's nursing home, you really think he can get on the throne with those exploits. ”

Feng Qianyao glared at his brother with an angry face, Feng Ping spread his hands, raised his eyebrows and sighed: "Okay, okay, I won't say it." You are the eldest lady, no matter what you do, my brother will stand on your side. Okay, don't be angry, let's go and give my brother a phoenix to see, my brother hasn't seen it for a long time. ”

Feng Qianyao finally had a smile on her face, "The family has prepared a reception dinner for my brother, and my brother will see it at the dinner." ”

Soon, the entire camp and the nearby gardens had been searched to no avail. Further into the garden is a woodland covering a mountain, the woodland was originally used for royal hunting, if you continue to look inside, you will inevitably use more battalion troops, and it is not good for Yu Wenhua to lead many troops to trespass into the royal garden with great fanfare.

But if you can't find Cao Ran, how can you explain to Qing Ming. Yu Wenhua didn't think about whether it would be as Feng Qianyao said, she just couldn't wait for her to leave, maybe they were just busy working in this area, Cao Ran was just hanging out somewhere now. On the one hand, he hoped that such a thing would happen, but on the other hand, he was relieved, even if she wanted to leave, she should tell him, and in the remote suburbs of Beijing, where could she go without cars and horses on foot. If the little guard didn't lie, Cao Ran really came to the garden, but this garden does not have a corner tower in the middle of the lake, Cao Ran didn't know that there was a royal garden here, let alone come here, why would he say that there is a corner tower in the middle of the lake in this garden? Could it be that the little guard was too nervous to say the wrong thing? Or maybe he missed something!

Yu Wenhua just wanted to go to the little guard to ask again, and looked up to see a peach forest in front of him. It was the season when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the rich fragrance of peach blossoms triggered his nerves, and he had smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms just now. When Feng Qianyao stepped forward to stop him, she was contaminated with this kind of floral fragrance, and Yu Wenhua glanced at Feng Ping, and just happened to see a pink peach blossom falling on the head of the maid beside him. So guessed, could it be that the two of them had also been to the garden.

Walking to the depths of the peach forest, I carefully saw that there were traces of broken peach branches in several places that were half a person high. Even if this is a somewhat deserted royal garden, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter. If Cao Ran comes to this garden, he will not come in by himself, but with someone who has the identity to enter the garden.

But Yu Wenhua didn't think clearly why if Feng Qianyao took Cao Ran into the garden, why the two of them came out, but Cao Ran disappeared. And if that's the case, then Feng Qianyao is lying to herself, why should she lie.

Suddenly, a figure flashed, Yu Wenhua moved with the shadow, and grabbed the collar of the man's back coat, "Who is here?" ”

The man turned his back to him, grabbed his wrist with his hand, turned around, and turned, "It's me, I just came back and heard that the girl was missing, so I came to look for it." Did Your Highness find any clues? ”

Yu Wenhua loosened the collar of Qing Ming's back coat, "There are no definite clues yet, but I have a bad premonition that she should be in some danger." ”

Qing Ming asked seriously, "Why does Your Highness have such a premonition?" ”

Yu Wenhua didn't tell him his conjecture, and he couldn't produce any evidence. "She left me a message before leaving, saying that she was waiting for me in the corner tower in the middle of the lake in the garden. But there is no corner tower in the middle of the lake in this garden. ”

Qing Jing pondered: "The girl hasn't been to this garden, so it won't be nonsense, right?" No, since she left you a message, it means that she intends to let you go to her, not go by yourself. So it is impossible to say a wrong place, there must be something wrong with it! ”

Yu Wenhua looked down at Qing Ming holding a small saucer in his hand, which contained a red centipede, and asked, "What is this?" Your new pet? ”

Qing Ming squinted at him and said, "What kind of taste, how could I like such a thing as a pet!" ”

Yu Wenhua said: "I also think that your taste is a little ......" thought about it, "special." ”

Qing Ming snorted lightly and explained: "This is a highly poisonous centipede, the girl ate a hundred-year-old live shallow grass that I have, and the medicinal gas around its body can repel hundreds of insects, this highly poisonous centipede is very sensitive to the surrounding things, and the direction of its tail is the taste of live shallow grass that it doesn't like." So I'm guessing the girl's general location based on that. ”

Yu Wenhua's eyes showed a look of surprise: "Live Asakusa has some insect repellent effect, but eating one plant will not have such a powerful effect!" ”

Qing Ming said seriously and affirmatively: "Hundreds of years of living Asakusa! It's always a little spiritual.,Of course, it's different from ordinary living Asakusa.。 After speaking, he lowered his eyes and thought to himself: I knew that she had eaten a thousand-year-old live shallow grass, so as not to arouse King Xuan's doubts.

In fact, the reason why Cao Ran has such a powerful insect repellent effect (to be precise, it should be the effect of detoxification, because the poisonous centipede is more poisonous because it is more obvious) is because she ate the desire fairy grass. Desire Immortal Grass is an extremely rare plant recorded in the pharmacopoeia, and there are rumors of appetite to practice immortality, and the rumors will be a bit exaggerated after all, but the records in the classics will never be groundless. Such a fairy grass melted into that girl's body, of course, it couldn't be easily revealed.

Yu Wenhua was skeptical when he heard this, and looked at the red centipede in confusion: "Then you might as well try." After a while, he said, "Why is it still spinning in circles?" ”

Qing Ming placed the small porcelain plate on the ground, the red centipede turned around a few times, and the long legs of the body struggled to climb in one direction, the porcelain plate was smeared with special grease, and the red centipede had dozens of feet and crawled forward desperately but again and again to eat.

Following the direction of the red centipede's tail, the two stepped on the rockery by the lake. When I reached the top of the hill and went to see the red centipede, it rolled up into a ball and fell asleep motionless.

Yu Wenhua pursed his lips and looked at Qing Ming, conveying a really unreliable expression. Qing Ming looked at it carefully for a moment, and then said, "It's playing dead!" Maybe it's because the smell around here is stronger. Her eyes flashed: "The girl may be nearby!" ”

Looking around, there was nothing to accommodate except a bare hexagonal pavilion.

Yu Wenhua looked around and called: "Ran! Are you around? "But everything around is in sight, and there are people everywhere.

Qing Ming sighed lightly: "This is strange, there is nothing here, could it be that I am mistaken, this centipede is really sleeping?" Then its heart is a little too big. ”

Yu Wenhua ignored him, as if he was attracted by something, and walked straight over looking at a peach tree.

Seeing this, Qing Ming also followed, standing beside Yu Wenhua and taking a closer look at him: "What is Your Highness looking at?" ”

Yu Wenhua didn't take his eyes off and replied, "You're not mistaken, it's really different here. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the trunk of the peach tree, because most of the petals on the tree had fallen, and only when you looked closely at the exposed branches could you see that they were densely covered with insects and ants, and even the poisonous insects that were originally feeding each other were all huddled on one branch in a friendly group, curled up and motionless like a red centipede in Qing Ming's hand.

Looking down along the trunk of the tree, there are still many insects and ants climbing up at the base of the tree. Continuing to dig down, the source is actually the bluestone slab on the soles of the feet.

Yu Wenhua hit the bluestone slab twice with the stone at his feet, making two empty sounds of "bang". "It's empty down there." He motioned for Qing Ming to retreat with his eyes, and with a strong swing of the scabbard, the bluestone slab was hit and flew out, revealing a hole more than one person wide below.
