Chapter 132: Missing
Si Luo slowly opened his eyes, and there were no more figures of those black-clothed people in sight in front of him. She looked up at the sky, and it was already five watches.
She struggled to get up on her limp limbs, and moved little by little to the door. Her hand gently pushed open the door and stepped in to light the candles in the room.
Under the faint light of the fire, the snow kite fell unconscious to the ground. Si Luo looked up at the bed again, except for the quilt and pillow, there was no figure of Hua Qingrao at all. The mother is missing! She stared at the empty bed in a daze, and then collapsed to the ground.
Zhao Xuan had just finished the ceremony of sacrificing his ancestors, and was sitting in the tent with Zhao Yu and several courtiers and laughing.
Suddenly, a guard broke into the hall with an anxious face, he glanced at the people in the account, knelt down and saluted: "See everyone, the prince, and the lords." โ
Zhao Xuan glanced at him, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his rudeness.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Xuan asked in a deep voice.
The guard arched his hand and said, "Everyone, the palace has just sent news." Last night, the palace was attacked, and several mothers who stayed in the palace disappeared. โ
Zhao Xuan's heart tightened, he raised his head suddenly, and said in shock: "What did you say?!" โ
The other people in the tent were also shocked, who had the courage to break into the emperor's palace overnight and take away the emperor's concubine.
Zhao Yu's head hung down slightly, making it impossible to see his expression at this time.
The guard resisted Zhao Xuan's angry gaze, gritted his teeth and repeated again.
Zhao Xuan's face was covered with black clouds, and he said coldly: "Have you found out who did it?" โ
The guard hesitated and said, "If you talk to everyone, it's like a bandit nearby." โ
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Zhao Xuan slapped angrily, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently. Can't the guards of the Great Liang catch up with a group of bandits! โ
The guards hung their heads and did not dare to speak, so they could only silently endure the wrath of the emperor.
"Immediately block all the checkpoints near the palace for me! Anyone suspicious is not to be spared! Be sure to find the captive concubine for me! โ
"As for those palace guards," Zhao Xuan's eyes were suddenly filled with killing intent, "Kill them all!" โ
The people in the account looked at the cold in the emperor's eyes, and their bodies couldn't control the shock.
Zhao Yu walked out of Zhao Xuan's tent, and instead of walking back to his tent, he walked to an inconspicuous tent in the corner.
As soon as he opened the tent and walked in, Si Luo and Xue Kite's faces suddenly turned a lot pale, and they knelt on the ground together to plead guilty: "It's all the slave's fault, please punish the master!" โ
Zhao Yu glanced at them with cold eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Pass on the king's order, disperse all the secret guards, and be sure to find her whereabouts within a short time!" โ
"Yes!" Si Luo and the snow kite led the way.

When Hua Qingrao woke up, it was pitch black in front of her, and she realized that she was blindfolded with a cloth. She had a cloth in her mouth, she couldn't speak, and her hands and feet were tied with ropes.
She squirmed slightly, and suddenly bumped into the person next to her. The man shuddered as soon as he felt her touch, and struggled to move his body backwards.
Hua Qingrao felt that the people around her were a little afraid of her, and suddenly understood that she was not the only one who was kidnapped. There was the sound of the wheels of the wagon rolling, and the voice of the man who drove the horse.
"This financier is really generous."
"Yes, if this vote is done, the pavilion master will definitely be rewarded a lot. Hahaha, brother, your and my good days are coming! โ
Pavilion Master? Hua Qingrao's eyebrows frowned slightly, she could be called the pavilion master, and she was a person who tied up the ticket, and it was usually some Jianghu organizations. Who the hell is it? What is the purpose of kidnapping them?
Hua Qingrao wanted to rub her arm and loosen the rope. But I didn't expect that the person who tied the rope was tied very tightly, and there was no room to move at all. She couldn't fold, so she could only arch her face and knees in an attempt to rub the cloth off her eyes.
She was extremely tired from the posture of hanging her head, and the carriage shook from time to time, and when she rubbed off the cloth covering her eyes, all her strength was exhausted.
She gasped cautiously and looked around, and there were three concubines who had stayed in the palace with her. She lowered her head and grabbed the piece of cloth in her mouth between her legs, and pulled it back, and the cloth in her mouth was torn off.
Just as she was about to catch her breath, she suddenly heard a loud noise outside the carriage. Before she could react to what was happening, the horse let out a long whistle and the car began to jolt violently.
Because Hua Qingrao was tied hands and feet, she couldn't control the balance of her body, and her body fell backwards and backwards with the carriage. Suddenly, there was a "bang", the carriage seemed to have hit something, and the whole car tilted downward, and Hua Qingrao slid out.
She was thrown out of the carriage and slammed to the ground. "Ugh." She snorted, and the pain suddenly spread throughout her body.
She didn't care about any pain, and her eyes widened and she couldn't stop looking at her surroundings. They were on a small road on both sides, surrounded by dense woods.
Not far from her was a broken carriage and a foaming horse, which she was riding in a sharp turn that crashed into a tree on the side of the road in order to avoid it.
The two men skipped Hua Qingrao and walked to the broken carriage. One man crouched down to inspect the horse, then looked up and said to another man who was walking towards the car, "Grandma's, this horse has been drugged." โ
Hearing this, the other man turned his head and carefully checked the car. He picked up a piece of wood from the ground and looked at it carefully for a while, and said in a cold voice: "This car has also been tampered with, even if the horse is fine, this car will fall apart after a long time." โ
As soon as he heard this, the man who checked the horse scolded again: "His grandmother's, what about the people in the car? โ
The other man tested the breath of the person who was pressed underneath and said coldly, "Dead." โ
The man examining the horse pulled a dagger from his waist and plunged it into the horse's neck without blinking. Suddenly the horse neighed, the horse's blood splattered, and the horse's hooves moved twice and then did not move.
"Ahh Hua Qingrao had never seen such a vicious person, and she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
The two men turned their heads when they heard the sound, just in time to see Hua Qingrao who fell to the ground.
When the man who killed the horse saw that Hua Qingrao's blindfolded cloth and the cloth stuffed in his mouth were gone, the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile. He got up and walked slowly towards her, "Leng Yue, this is interesting. โ
The man called Leng Yue glanced at Hua Qingrao's frightened eyes, and said lightly: "Don't make trouble without a trace, let's return to the pavilion master earlier." โ
Traceless walked up to Hua Qingrao, pulled her up, and brought her to her ear. "It's your fate today."
Hua Qingrao looked at the horse blood that was gradually rising on his face, and her body shivered involuntarily.
Without a trace dragged the other three concubines out of the carriage, knotted the ropes on their feet, and tied the four people, including Hua Qingrao, into a string with a long rope.
He pulled them to the carriage by the head of the rope, and he pulled the dagger from the horse's neck neatly and dangled it menacingly in the air. "If any of you are disobedient, don't blame me for being ruthless, this horse is your fate."
Although he was smiling when he said it, it made people feel a biting chill.
The three concubines were frightened by him, and they couldn't stop sobbing.
Traceless frowned and swept away with a cold eye, and suddenly they all stopped, and they didn't dare to come out again.
