Chapter Twenty-Five: An Inexplicable Disappearance

Yuan Yi has been busy dealing with Liu Qianqian's affairs in the capital, and he can't spare time to deal with the assassins that Yuan Ke encountered on the road for the time being, so he can only hand over everything to Zhang Junwu. After that assassin incident, Zhang Junwu no longer followed them in disguise, but directly followed them as an entourage, and if any accidents occurred, he could also take action in time.

The last assassination incident was very weird, even if Zhang Junwu used a lot of dark lines around him, he didn't get a trace of clues, which made him very distressed, the task given to him by Gongzi was to protect the three of them back to the clouds safely, but now I don't even know the source of these people, and there is always this hidden danger on the road behind, how can I walk with peace of mind?

Fortunately, in the following days, although Zhang Junwu kept an eye on any possible characters who appeared around them, he did not find anyone suspected of being an assassin. Yuan Ke has also been very careful since the last assassination, so that Yuan Xu is always in his sight, and Lu Xi follows Zhang Junwu, this arrangement can allow both of them to have sufficient protection.

The days passed like this, and after walking for six days, finally tomorrow there will be another day's journey to the clouds, Zhang Junwu has written to the Pingwang Mansion and the Lu Mansion in advance, so that the two mansions can prepare in advance to respond. That day, Yuan Ke thought that he would return to the clouds tomorrow, so he wanted Ah Xu to play crazy outside again, and after returning to the clouds, with his father and mother in charge, it was not easy for Ah Xu to come out and play crazy.

The resting place is Taizhou, and when we arrive at this place in the middle of the morning, everyone stops to rest. When it was almost noon, Yuan Ke shouted that he wanted to eat local snacks, but in fact, it was not that he wanted to go, but because he was afraid that Lu Xi and Yuan Xu would be embarrassed to mention it, and he would not refuse to mention Zhang Junwu.

Taizhou City is not small, there are many markets, and it is very lively. It happened that a wealthy businessman married a daughter in today's city, which added a bit of joy to the entire Taizhou City. When they entered the city, Yuan Ke and the others had already seen the jubilant mansion, decorated with lights, and even decorated the entire street, which was hard not to notice. The special local food that Yuan Ke and they went to eat was only one street away from the family, and the loud joyful sounds over there came and went, which once again made them pay attention to this matter.

"Brother, you've been playing music over there, what are you doing?" Yuan Xu asked curiously.

"It should be a happy event, we passed by the family when we came just now, did you forget?" Yuan Ke patiently explained.

"Little prince, do you know this very well?" Lu Xi teased him with malicious intent.

"Lu Xi, I am a strange man in the world who knows astronomy and geography, how can a mortal like you see clearly!" Yuan Ke deliberately made his voice a little thicker, imitating the voice of the old master who taught him to speak.

"Yes, yes, we ordinary people don't understand, you know!" Lu Xi glanced at Yuan Ke.

"Ah Xu, do you want to see the bride?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then let's go and see. You two hurry up and keep up! Yuan Ke pulled Yuan Xu to run to the place where the joy was loudest, and beckoned Lu Xi and Zhang Junwu to follow them.

Zhang Junwu was not worried that they would go to this kind of overly lively place, there were too many people, and he didn't know if there would be some situations beyond his control. But Yuan Ke and the two had already rushed away, and he could only pull Lu Xi to follow closely.

The mansion was really lively, because it was the richest family in the city, and the pomp was no worse than when they welcomed his eldest brother back to the clouds, and at the same time, because it was a happy event, they gave each of the passers-by a beautifully packaged wedding cake, so that everyone was also happy.

When Yuan Ke arrived, he was just in time to go out in the bride's sedan chair, the music was loud, and the figures were crowded, he was not ready to squeeze in to see, but at this point in time, he couldn't help himself at all, and the crowd hugged them forward. Zhang Junwu chased the two of them behind, and he could always see the figures of the two, but it was a little difficult to squeeze through, and he couldn't go fast when he pulled Lu Xi.

Yuan Ke followed this group of people to the front very easily, which happened to be the best viewing angle, he turned his head to look at Yuan Xu, and was just about to speak, but he found a great thing, his Ah Xu was actually dropped!! Right under his nose, he was replaced by a person, but the little girl's clothes that were exchanged were the same as Ah Xu's, and at first glance it was a premeditated activity, and the thought that appeared in Yuan Ke's mind was: It must still be the same group of people last time.

He turned his head to signal Zhang Junwu, and said anxiously with his mouth: "Ah Xu, Ah Xu is gone!" Zhang Junwu was about to step forward, but suddenly, the two people behind him rushed towards him and Lu Xi, and the force caught him off guard and let go of Lu Xi's hand, and when he looked back, he could no longer see Lu Xi's figure. He was a little panicked, Yuan Xu was still waiting for him to find it before, and now Lu Xi was missing behind him, how could the two parties go to find it at the same time? made a decision immediately, and he gestured with his hand, "Lu Xi is gone, he will go to find it, Ah Xu, Yuan Ke will go to find it."

Yuan Ke didn't expect Yuan Xu and Lu Xi to disappear at the same time, looking at this sudden situation a little confused, he looked for Yuan Xu in the crowd like a headless fly, and Zhang Junwu rushed backwards against the crowd, he believed that if the people who came had the intention to disperse them, they would definitely guide them in different directions, but he rushed out of the crowd and looked around, the crowd did not change, but Lu Xi really disappeared.

"Madam, everything has been completed according to plan, what should I do next?" At the top of this mansion, there are two people holding farsighted tubes and observing the situation in front of the door, and the woman called "Madame" is the "old woman" who hit Yuan Ke's carriage a few days ago.

"Give the two of them some clues and let them find them slowly, as long as they delay for half an hour. At the last minute, take the initiative to reveal our identity, remember, to show no traces. The woman said as she looked at the two men who were anxiously looking for them on the street.

"Yes, my subordinates will command." The man went downstairs, only the woman was left upstairs, her expression was indifferent, but her heart turned a thousand times, turned her head in the direction of the capital and said softly: "Yuan Yi, I hope your soft-hearted father really didn't tell you the truth, and I will give you this really big gift."

This is the ultimate goal of this elaborate arrangement, and she has confirmed that the two brothers of the Yuan family do not know the true identity of Yuan Xu, and she wants to plant a seed of affection in that child and get close to her. As for the girl in the Lu Mansion, it was just a disguise, she wanted everyone to think that all the actions were for the concubine in the palace, and it was also very good to mess up the palace by the way, so that she could arrange Yuan Xu's affairs more at ease.

Devil's Theatre

Lu Xi: Why me again? Can't you just catch someone else?

Woman: Because your beauty comes from the inside out, I can't help it!

Lu Xi; I'll go, can you be serious about your reasons? Eldest sister!

Woman; Eldest sister?! Your relationship line is canceled!!

Lu Xi: No, no, I was wrong just now, it was my sister (flattering), how could I not be happy? Sister, you arrest me, and I will be arrested next time, I have absolutely no complaints!

Yuan continued: Sister Xi, you are so spineless, you gave up your dignity for a man, I am ashamed of you!

Lu Xi: If you give me a side, you won't understand how invincible and lonely the leftover girl is! (melancholy at a 45-degree angle)
