Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Prince Searches for a Wife
After sending everyone out to find Ouyang Jing, Ye Moxuan himself returned to the slum street, this was the last place he saw Ouyang Jing, he remembered that Ouyang Jing said in the end that he would leave a few meals for the child, so it meant that she did not return to the palace from here.
There were obviously more people in the slum streets at night than during the day, and Ye Moxuan was also the first time to come to this kind of place, and was a little surprised that there were so many beggars in the main city.
He didn't have any impression of those people, he walked directly to the old man, he remembered that Ouyang Jing took a lot of care of this person during the day. Take out the portrait prepared in advance and put it in front of the old man's eyes.
"Have you ever seen this girl again?"
The old man opened his eyes and looked at the portrait, then at Ye Moxuan, and continued to close his eyes and sleep.
"She's my wife, and she hasn't come home since she came here today to deliver food. I think something must have happened to her, and I asked the old man to tell her where she went after she left here. ”
The people on the side heard the movement here and crawled over to join in the fun, after seeing the portrait in Ye Moxuan's hand. A man called, "Hey, isn't this the girl who brought us food at noon?" NND, I said I would come in the evening, but I didn't come! ”
With a tight fist, Ye Moxuan suppressed his desire to beat this man, and continued to lock his gaze on the old man.
The old man glared at the man, and then carefully looked at Ye Moxuan.
They were poor as beggars, but they were also principled. This girl is kind to them, and he will never reveal her whereabouts at will, if it is the enemy, he will not cause trouble for her.
Seeing the token on Ye Mo Xuan's waist, the old man's eyes lit up, and he remembered the rumors that everyone brought back at night, so he opened his mouth to tell Ouyang Jing where he went, and at the same time mobilized the beggars of the entire slum street to go out to look for it.
Ye Moxuan didn't bother to care about them, and when he learned that Ouyang Jing was going next, he hurriedly rushed over to check, and before he went far, he found that there was a child sneakily following behind him, making him extremely uncomfortable.
The figure fell behind the little girl in a flash, and looked at her with displeasure, until the little girl took out a portrait and pointed at it and said, "I have seen a beautiful sister." He changed his smiling expression and coaxed the little girl to take him.
"That's where the pretty sister was lost." The little girl pointed to the lake in front of her and recalled what had happened in the afternoon.
"In the afternoon, my beautiful sister came to see us in the temple, and her clothes were very dirty and torn. So I took her here to take a bath. Later, she was carried away by a man dressed in black. ”
"Where are you going?"
"Over there. It's flying away. ”
Looking in the direction pointed by the little girl, Ye Moxuan's brows were deeply locked, the enemy took Ouyang Jing away in front of the child without concealment, and he never poisoned the child, was that deliberately leaving clues to him?
"Good. You go back first. ”
With a little force, Ye Mo Xuan flew up to the tree branch and rushed back to the palace with light work. Whether the enemy did it on purpose or not, he couldn't put this clue.
Back at the palace, he rearranged the search mode, leaving only half a team to search in the city, and the rest of the people began to search from the lake in the direction of escape.
It's night, but Ye Moxuan still hasn't slept, and has been sitting in the study waiting for the housekeeper to report the situation, although the result is the same every time, although the housekeeper said that he would wake him up immediately if he found it. But he lay down, but he couldn't sleep.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by a loud explosion in the air, and a torrent of rain poured down. Ye Mo Xuan stood in front of the window and clasped his hands, this heavy rain came at an inopportune time, how many clues would be washed away by it, which undoubtedly made their search more difficult.
Until noon the next day, the rain did not stop, and Ouyang Jing still had no news. Ouyang Qi secretly sent a message to the enemy, saying that the enemy had not moved yet.
Ye Moxuan sat on the stool, listening to the butler's report on the same thing again, and the desk in front of him had broken into powder.
Both the butler and the shadow knew that his patience was reaching its limit.
"Lord, I have already found all the places I can find. It's better to let the two teams come back first, it's raining heavily outside, and they won't be able to bear it for a long time. At present, all we can do is wait for news from General Ouyang. ”
With a bang, the chair that Ye Moxuan was sitting on also shattered, his face was black, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura, so frightened that the housekeeper didn't dare to speak again.
"Lord Wang, there is a beggar outside the door who asks to see you." I don't know if it's the family who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, knocking on the door and whispering a report.
"Where's the man?" Ye Moxuan hurried to the door, opened the door and grabbed the collar of the housekeeper.
"Yes, at the door."
Carrying light skills, Ye Mo Xuan quickly approached the door, and Ying also got up to follow, only the poor butler had a bone, but he could only run desperately towards the gate.
Seeing that it was the old man standing at the door, Ye Moxuan's heart was also inexplicably raised, and the news from all sides was reported, but these beggars did not, and he really forgot that there were still them.
"See the prince."
"Do you have any news of her?" didn't even have time to say a word to get up, which shows how anxious Ye Moxuan is.
"Yes. The child, who had just returned from outside the city, said that in the afternoon they were collecting medicine in the mountains and saw a man in black carrying a girl up the mountain. Fearing trouble, they quickly fled. So it's not sure if it's a princess. ”
"Which mountain?"
"The Foggy Mountains outside the city."
"Thank you!" Sending the old man away, Ye Moxuan turned around and ordered directly without thinking: "Shadow, arrange 5 secret guards." We immediately went up the mountain. ”
"Lord, you can't go to this mountain." The housekeeper who came late only heard the word Wushan, and when he heard that Ye Moxuan was going up the mountain, he immediately stopped him. Although he likes this princess very much, if the matter threatens the safety of the prince, he can't sit idly by.
"Lord Wang, you also know that the Foggy Mountain is not easy to climb, the terrain is steep, and it has been shrouded in dense fog all year round since the halfway point of the mountain, so it is impossible to go up at all. These beggars are just cheating money, so why should you take the risk?"
"The king has made up his mind. And didn't those beggars go up? Is this king not even a beggar? ”
"Lord Wang, they are just picking herbs at the bottom of the mountain, how can they get up the mountain, I'm afraid that this is the enemy's trap, Lord Wang, please think twice."
"Think twice! Think! Hasn't this king thought enough? Did you get it back? With an angry roar, everyone was dumbfounded, this is the prince who is usually as gentle as jade?
The housekeeper wanted to persuade a few more words, but after glancing at the shadow's eyes, he could only swallow the words back into his stomach. Yes, if the prince will listen to his persuasion, then he can become the emperor.
"I'll prepare the horses." The housekeeper was helpless.
Back in the study to pick up his sword, Ye Mo Xuan took the shadow and the dark guard straight out of the city, and everyone around him could notice that today's master was extremely irritable, only he himself did not realize his panic.
