The person who came to pick up was stunned, hurriedly quit Mu Mingluo, and went to Mu Mansion with Xiao to inquire again, and only said: "Our princess asked the slave to greet the lady, so that you can take the young master to the palace to play." ”

Liu didn't know what was going on, and when Mu Mingshu really invited them to play, he smiled and said: "You go back and tell her, I haven't been free for a few days, and when I'm free, I'll take Mingxiao Mingyuan over." After speaking, he asked Mama Zeng to pick out some pickles from the house and asked the man to take them back.

Looking at the appearance of the Liu family, it didn't seem to be contrived, and the man didn't dare to delay, so he took the pickles and hurried to report to Zhao Yiheng.

Zhao Yiheng frowned tightly when he heard this, and asked, "Where is Mozhu?" ”

He had an awkward relationship with Mu Mingshu in the past few days, seeing that she was uncomfortable and uncomfortable, he originally wanted to dry her for a few days and tell her to learn a lesson and remember it for a long time. Don't look at him, he doesn't even say anything, but Zhao Yiheng knows her every move clearly, even if she is going to Mu Mingluo's door today, he also knows, but he never expected her to disappear.

Mo Shihou was on the side, and frowned when he heard this: "I'll go to find Mo Zhu." ”

Mozhu's responsibility most of the time is to protect Mu Mingshu secretly, and if he can go out, he will never leave an inch, for fear of a case.

If you can't find Mu Mingshu this time, you can find Mozhu.

Moshi went into the courtyard and released a small colorful firework into the moonlit night, which flew into the air, exploded and changed into a different appearance, and finally disappeared.

This is the signal of contact between the people under King Rui, as long as Mo Zhu sees it, and puts another one in the air, you can know his general location.

But Moshi stood in the courtyard and waited for half an hour, and the fireworks that replied to the letter did not see a single star, his eyes sank, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, and he hurriedly reported the matter to Zhao Yiheng.

Although the ink bamboo is often out of tune, it is not ambiguous to do serious things, as if such a thing that has not been answered for half an hour has never been done.

Zhao Yiheng's heart jumped, and his face was cold: "Send all the secret guards out to find them, and if you live to see people and die, you will see corpses." The latter sentence was uttered through gritted teeth and trembling.

He knew Mu Mingshu, although he had a big temper, but he was a clear person, and he would definitely not run away from home for these people, not to mention that she was out of the house temporarily, and she was still with Zhao Ziyue, and she was only with a maid, changing clothes, dry food and silver had not been prepared, so in a hurry, where could she go if she ran away from home.

For a while, Zhao Yiheng regretted it very much, and even bothered with her for that little thing, which made her so angry that she didn't say anything for a few days, and she didn't know what happened when she went.

But if there is something wrong with this, how can he accept it?

Mo Shizi also knew Mu Mingshu's status in Zhao Yiheng's heart, and he had never sent all the secret guards to look for people, but he didn't say anything in the end, so he just ordered to send people down to find people.

Zhao Yiheng's subordinates don't have many secret guards, but all of them are good hands, and they disappeared into the night in an instant when they got their lives.

Zhao Yiheng, who was sitting in the study, was very flustered, his hand on the official hat chair trembled slightly, he had a bad premonition, but he couldn't say how bad it was.

Moshi went outside to get busy, and when he came back, he saw Zhao Yiheng's eyebrows frowning, and the whole person exuded a chilling air, and shivered slightly: "Master, do you want to go and see the other side of the inn?" ”

The post house is still talking about Princess Ina who came from Xiliang, Princess Ina's provocation in front of the emperor, and the robbery of the husband in the Rui Wangfu are in an uproar throughout Kyoto, and those ordinary people who are full of food and have nothing to do will laugh about it.

Moshi thought that Princess Yina of Xiliang could not be the only one, and put down cruel words, maybe Mu Mingshu asked her to invite her?

As soon as he talked about this Princess Yina, Zhao Yiheng's eyes sank: "This king will go in person." After speaking, he changed into his night clothes and quietly entered the post house by moonlight.

Since that day, Princess Ina told Danmuti to slip back, and she was locked in the room, and she was not allowed to come out again, and those handmaids who were trembling and trembling looked at her as if they were prisoners, and they were afraid that if she would lose her temper and sneak out quietly at some point, then none of them would have to live.

Ina was angry several times for this, the furnishings in her house were all good, and then she lost her temper and smashed it once, and then there were some goods on the table, and the post house secretly married her a nickname called "Xiliang Tiger".

Zhao Yiheng was hidden in the dark in a night clothes, only to see Yina smashing things in the house in a hurry, but she kept threatening the few servant girls who guarded her tightly. He frowned and listened to nothing useful for a long time, and then jumped into the house where Danmu lived, and when he lifted the tiles on the roof, he heard a voice behind him.

Zhao Yiheng was still discovered, and was about to turn over and leave, when he saw the person behind him stepping on the tiles: "Master, it's me." ”

Mo Shi's expression was heavy, and the whole person was gloomy, and without waiting for Zhao Yiheng to ask, he said: "The princess's carriage has been found, and it is in the Xingyan Cliff outside the city." ”

Zhao Yiheng's face turned pale, his eyes narrowed, and he didn't say anything, and went to the apricot eye cliff.

The road cliff in that section of the apricot eye cliff is high and narrow, and it is named because there are many wild apricots nearby. In the early years, because of the road of Xingyan Cliff, many family members of dignitaries died, and very few people would ride a carriage to pass from there.

But Mu Mingshu is obviously going to Xiaoxia Mansion, and the Xingyan Cliff is outside the city, so it can't be hit by eight poles, how could her carriage reach the Xingyan Cliff for no reason.

These things are not the time to study these things in detail now, and Zhao Yiheng is most worried about Mu Mingshu's safety. By the time he arrived at the Apricot Eye Cliff, torches had already been lit at the bottom of the cliff, and a carriage with the logo of the Rui Wang's Mansion had fallen to pieces, and the horse driving it was also bloody and fleshy.

Zhao Yiheng, who had seen a lot of bloody scenes, only felt that he couldn't get up in one breath at this time, his face was pale, and he grabbed the tree pole on the side and asked with difficulty: "Is there anyone?" ”

The secret guard led everyone to Zhao Yiheng, knelt on one knee and saluted, and then said: "If you go back to the master, no corpse was found. ”

Zhao Yiheng's heart was about to loosen up, and he heard the man again: "The horse was poisoned and went crazy halfway, so he fell off from above." ”

Zhao Yiheng's body was full of cold, the horses were poisoned, and he went crazy halfway before running all the way to Xingyan Cliff and falling from above, so where did Mu Mingshu and Zhao Ziyue go during this period?

How did the horse get poisoned? When was it poisoned?

He didn't dare to think about it, since he beat Mu Mingshu and married him, he had experienced more than one assassination, but he didn't even know who was doing anything behind him.

He didn't dare to imagine that if Mu Mingshu really had an accident with Zhao Ziyue this time, how would he be good, and he regretted it more and more for a while, regretting why he had to fight with her for this little thing, regretting that he couldn't send a few more people to follow her, regretting ......

But now it's useless to regret it, Zhao Yiheng clenched his fists, and his eyes were scarlet: "You can't let go of an inch of land within a radius of ten miles, no matter what, you have to find out the person for this king." ”

"Yes." Several of the secret guards responded in unison, and scattered in all directions.

There was silence all around, Zhao Yiheng's red became more and more red, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said to himself: "Mingyue, you must not have anything to do, do not ......"

He took out the carved rosewood comb from his arms, carefully rubbed the pattern on it, and the word "bright moon" on it.

It was Mu Mingshu's small letter, which her mother married her before her death, and her father personally engraved it on this rosewood comb.

Kyoto City is quiet, every family closes the doors and windows, wraps the quilt and sleeps, even the Rui Wangfu is quiet, no one knows about Mu Mingshu's disappearance, even a few of her personal maids also thought she had returned to the Mu Mansion.

However, outside the city, the Xingyan Cliff was in a state of panic for ten miles, Zhao Yiheng's people were frightened everywhere they went, and the nearby houses were all woken up in the middle of the night, and it was not until early in the morning that these people's movements slowed down.

Moshi rode a fast horse to chase to Xingyan Cliff, in this autumn day, running sweating profusely, seeing Zhao Yiheng, there was no politeness, only hurriedly said: "Master, a few corpses have been found in the valley in the west, as well as Mozhu's tokens." ”

Zhao Yiheng had never rested all night, and his spirit was also tense, his face was haggard at this time, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and the stubble on his chin looked very sloppy. ”

Moshi shook his head, and then said: "Master, those corpses have Xiliang people, as well as most of us, obviously two groups of people. ”

Zhao Yiheng's heart became more and more flustered, and he followed the ink stone to the west.

Those corpses were all investigated by people named Zhao Yiheng, five of them were from Xiliang, and four were from Dadu, and the injuries on these people were also different, obviously not killed by the same person, and they had no tokens on them, and they couldn't know who sent them for a while.

Zhao Yiheng is now like an ant on the hot pot, he can't tell what it feels like, Mu Mingshu's trace has not been found, and these black-clothed killers have appeared, and he doesn't know whether these people have anything to do with Mu Mingshu's disappearance.

The whole person was depressed and irritable, and someone on the other end shouted: "Master, there are traces of being swept on the road here." ”

Zhao Yiheng looked over, the man had already opened the fine veil scattered on the ground, and saw a few rows of bloody footprints stretching forward in a disorderly manner.

Zhao Yiheng's heart couldn't say what it was like, the whole person was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe, and it took a long time to hold his chest and shout: "Mingshu ......"

This statement reverberated in the valley, wave after wave, and there was no sound until half a sound.

Moshi followed behind and asked, "Master, ...... those corpses?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a woman's voice in the valley, her voice was hoarse and indistinguishable, but she shouted: "Zhao Yiheng......"
