"Hey......" Nangong Shuyun sighed lightly, "It's really troublesome to deal with a smart and clever woman like you." ”

He stretched out his hand and took off the jewelry on Lu Ruoqing's head in the same way.

At the end, a pair of earrings remained.

Nangong Shuyun just wanted to reach out to pick it up, but Lu Ruoqing took a step back, "Don't touch me!" ”

She took off the earrings herself, then threw them to the side and threw them directly into the river.

Nangong Shuyun smiled, "I won't take advantage of this little bit of cheapness." ”

Lu Ruoqing didn't want to talk to him.

This person has a wicked appearance, a moody personality, and a frivolous and prodigal style, which really disgusts her.

Nangong Shuyun looked at the mint again, "Yours, pick it yourself." ”

Mint trembled with fright and didn't dare to resist, so she could only take off all the jewelry.

Nangong Shuyun also checked it.

Looking at their waists, "I have picked the rest of the purses, sachets, jade pendants, and small objects." ”

After tossing and turning like this, he got into the carriage.

On the carriage, Mint whispered, "Miss, what are you going to do now?" I see that those ships are still moving forward, and if Your Highness catches up and sees it, he must think that we are on top and will continue to follow him. ”

Lu Ruoqing frowned and said, "I don't have a way for the time being, let's rest first." ”

Mint wanted to say something again, but after looking at her big belly, she finally had to shut up.

What else? Since you can't think of a way, let's rest honestly and nourish your spirits.

But the carriage was bumpy, not as smooth as lying on the bed.

Fortunately, Nangong Shuyun was quite careful, and asked someone to add a lot of mattresses to Lu Ruoqing's carriage, which was very soft, so the carriage was not too bumpy to walk.

But swaying, Lu Ruoqing's heart also rose and fell.

She didn't know what the eight-hundred-mile rush was, and she didn't know that checkpoints were set up in various states and counties, so she was naturally anxious and uneasy, and she was very worried that Xiao Shaoxuan would chase him away.

However, Nangong Shuyun found out that she was making a mark, and now she is closely monitored, and it is impossible to do anything else.

Moreover, Xiao Shaoxuan definitely couldn't think of changing the land route for a while.

.

As Lu Ruoqing expected, Xiao Shaoxuan really didn't expect them to change routes.

A day later, Xiao Shaoxuan arrived at the pier that Nangong Shuyun said.

Immediately, the people from the government came over and replied, "His Royal Highness the King of the North of Qiyu Town, all the merchant ships have been inspected one by one these days, and no men on the portraits have been found, nor have any pregnant women been found. ”

The servant was still muttering in his heart.

What? The emperor hurriedly issued an order for 800 miles to set up checkpoints, just to intercept a little white face and a pregnant woman, which is simply incredible.

After all, if an ordinary woman is pregnant, she will naturally not go far away, let alone wander on the boat.

Could it be that the emperor's concubine eloped with someone?

Tsk......t, sins, sins.

Xiao Shaoxuan said angrily: "No? Or not?! ”

He chased him all the way down, and every time he came to a dock, he was waiting for such frustrating news.

Although the emperor issued an order, he only asked all the states and counties to check the merchant ships, and it was impossible to stop all the merchant ships, so the commerce of the whole country would be chaotic.

Xiao Shaoxuan asked, "When did the merchant ships that passed by this wharf leave recently?" ”

The official replied: "This morning, at dawn. ”

"!" Xiao Shaoxuan couldn't help but curse fiercely.

What he asked people to prepare was not a merchant ship, but a fast boat, but no matter how fast the fast boat was, it was limited, and it was only half a day faster than the merchant ship after chasing it all the way to the present.

If we have to wait for the remaining half a day to get closer, won't we have to chase another seven or eight hundred miles? That's a long way to go.

Xiao Shaoxuan immediately abandoned the ship.

Let the deputy general take people to continue chasing by boat, and he will take the elite guards to take the land route, change a batch of fast horses at each post station, and rush to the next dock in the fastest time!

It's a pity......

When he intercepted the target merchant ship, it was a man who went to the empty ship.

There is no Lu Ruoqing!

There is no Nangong Shuyun either!

I only found the drunken son of the Lou family, who was lying on a wide and comfortable bed, sleeping with his head in his arms, and was dragged out of bed and shouted: "What are you doing?" What are you doing?! ”

Xiao Shaoxuan directly kicked his heartwarming feet, and gave a pot of herbal tea toppings, "Hurry up and come to your senses and talk back!" ”

Lou Gongzi is just a gentleman.

Where have you seen a group of men with swords besieging him? Immediately woke up the strength of the wine.

He trembled, "A few heroes, ask for money...... it's easy to say that I have made a lot of money in business in the Central Plains this time, and I have taken it all away from a few heroes." ”

Lou Gongzi thought that he had encountered a robbery in the rivers and lakes.

Xiao Shaoxuan was so angry that he wanted to smash his head open, and said angrily: "What about the princess? Where did Princess Zhenbei go? Did you hide someone halfway?! Tell us your whereabouts! ”

Lou Gongzi was stunned for a while.

He was not on the same boat as Nangong Shuyun and others, thinking that the two ships behind were loaded with goods, and they were waiting to be transported back to Nanshu to make another big windfall.

These days, I've been drinking and having fun.

Unexpectedly, these robbers suddenly appeared, not for money, but to ask him what the princess of Zhenbei was.

Lou Gongzi was dizzy, "What are you talking about?" I'm a businessman, how can I hide any princess? I'm not getting impatient. ”

Xiao Shaoxuan thought he was lying and playing tricks, so he immediately said: "Drag it down, hit it hard!" ”

Lou Gongzi screamed in fright, "Help!" Help me! I don't really know ......."

Two guards dragged him down.

Soon the sound of sticks and canes sounded outside, and Lou Gongzi's screams like killing pigs, "Ah! Ahhhh......h

Actually, it's no wonder that Xiao Shaoxuan is angry.

Lu Ruoqing was kidnapped with a big belly, which was enough for him to be angry and kill.

But he still chased all the way, threw himself into the air all the way, and accumulated fire again and again, and it took more than ten days to accumulate it.

And several merchant ships of this Lou Gongzi are exactly the same as those described by the dock boss before, and before that, the people of the Lou family are sneaky in the capital, so they naturally think that Lou Gongzi is lying.

It's a pity that the boy of the building was beaten to a bloody blur, and he didn't make any news.

The guards came up to report, "Your Highness, it seems that the young man of Lou really doesn't know, and if he continues to fight, he can only beat people to death." ”

Xiao Shaoxuan said angrily: "Then kill you!" Since I can't ask for useful news, I still keep it for the New Year! ”

The guard went out and ordered, "Keep fighting!" Fight to the death! ”

"Wait!" Xiao Shaoxuan held back his anger and raised his hand to stop, "Spare him a life, find a doctor to prescribe medicine for him, and then interrogate him when the injury is healed!" ”

Some people may not be afraid of death, but they may not be able to withstand severe torture again and again.

This is the usual method used in the barracks to deal with the enemy.

Next, the other people on the ship, including the fans, were also tortured one by one to extract confessions, and there was still no news.

The guards went to inspect the two ships in the back, which were full of cargo.

The guard came back and said, "Your Highness, the two ships behind are indeed full of goods, and there are no other suspicious people except the crew." ”

"Impossible!" Xiao Shaoxuan was furious, carried a sword on the ship, and directly cut open the bags of goods, and the clothes, spices and other things were shattered!

And the place where Lu Ruoqing and Nangong Shuyun lived at the beginning had already been thoroughly cleaned, and it had been filled with goods, and there was no trace.

Xiao Shaoxuan got nothing.

Just when he was having a splitting headache, suddenly a guard came to report, "Your Highness! I interrogated the crew members of the two ships behind me just now, and they all said that they didn't know the news......"

"I don't know if I'm still coming to report?!" Xiao Shaoxuan said angrily.

"But that's not right." The guard hurriedly explained, "They all said that they were transferred from the ship in front of them a few days ago, so they don't know who was on the boat behind them, and they don't know what happened. ”

"You were transferred from the ship in front of you just a few days ago?" Xiao Shaoxuan was shocked when he heard this.

That is, the people on the two ships behind have already been replaced!

---- there are strange and weird.

Xiao Shaoxuan immediately said: "Go and interrogate, did the fleet dock a few days ago?" Just go! Okay, no need, I'll interrogate it myself! ”

This interrogation revealed that the merchant ship had indeed docked a few days earlier.

Moreover, it was neither early nor too late, it was precisely the day he intercepted at the dock before, and the secret hidden in it was naturally self-evident.

"Bastard thing! They went overland instead! Xiao Shaoxuan slammed his fist against the wall.

Although I got useful news, ...... it was a mixed bag.

The good news is that it is almost confirmed that it is the group of people who left and kidnapped Lu Ruoqing.

The bad news is that the other party has already traveled hundreds of miles by land.

"Whew......" Xiao Shaoxuan tried hard to take deep breaths to stabilize his mood.

He could feel that the person who kidnapped Lu Ruoqing was not only thoughtful, but also very powerful and powerful, otherwise it would be impossible to use such means to reach the sky, and he would have rushed to do whatever he wanted in the Central Plains.

Is it really someone from the Lou family? If you want to talk about the means and forces, it is very consistent with the Nanshu Guolou family.

However, that Lou Gongzi didn't know anything just now.

Moreover, if it was really the Lou family who planned to kidnap Lu Ruoqing, why did they leave this Lou Gongzi? Isn't it trying to cover it up? If you change someone randomly, you won't be able to find any clues.

That's it, that's it, now is not the time to think about that.

Xiao Shaoxuan forcibly ordered himself to calm down.

He went to the government office and asked the local prefect for a map of the nearby prefectures and counties, and studied it carefully.

Marching to fight, dividing troops, and arranging various routes were originally his strengths,---- no matter how simple it was to fight, it was not a problem at all.

Moreover, the other party used such a big battle, it was definitely not to kill Lu Ruoqing, if it was to kill, it would have been killed long ago.

In other words, Lu Ruoqing's life is safe for the time being.

After Xiao Shaoxuan confirmed this information, he was much calmer.

However, after he calmed down, he studied the map and came to a somewhat unpleasant conclusion.

Xiao Shaoxuan looked at the map directly, from the dock where he chased the fork, he should take the land route, and a few hundred miles ahead, it was the sphere of influence of the Li family in the southwest.

"Li family......" he muttered to himself, his face solemn and deep in thought.
