meanwhile

Shaoqing of Dali Temple,

Li Xiaoyao slowly returned to the small courtyard where he lived alone, the yard was not big, and there were some flowers and melons and fruits planted in the courtyard, which was very leisurely.

This is when he was very young, his father left him, his father died early for His Majesty Li Er, and he didn't leave anything for him, so he left such a courtyard.

However, although his father did not leave him much gold and silver treasures, he left Li Er's affection.

This allowed Li Xiaoyao not to starve to death all these years, and even arranged to go to Dali Temple, and later he did not disappoint Li Er, and he was able to judge the case in Dali Temple at a young age.

Growing up to now, it is even one distance away from being the master of Dali Temple.

In addition, perhaps because he lost his parents in his early years, Li Erguan is also wider.

Previous years.

was almost forced to marry by Li Er, married a beautiful daughter, and became a door-to-door son-in-law.

As soon as he thought of Li Er's forced marriage, Li Xiaoyao felt that it was a headache.

On this matter.

Li Xiaoyao doesn't hate that lady.

It's just that I haven't seen this person myself, and I don't know what he looks like or what his personality is.

Second...... In Datang, marrying a lady, he doesn't have any status, it's no different from finding an ancestor.

He had to worship every day, and before he went to bed, he had to kneel and pray...... Isn't this a source of guilt for yourself?

That's why Li Xiaoyao categorically refused.

Of course, all this was in previous years.

At that time, he was just a dispensable figure in Dali Temple, but now he is Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

If Li Er plans to introduce everyone next time, Li Xiaoyao feels that he doesn't have to refuse directly.

It's never too late to at least see each other.

But

Fortunately, this case happened, so let Li Er bow his head, otherwise, he can't say how long he will stay in prison.

I haven't been home for a month, and when I see my small yard again, Li Xiaoyao really feels comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

He stretched, closed the door, and was ready to rest.

Knock knock!

But at this moment, before he could blow out the candle, the door was suddenly slammed.

Listening to that voice, it was as anxious as if I was asking for a debt.

"Lord Shaoqing, Lord Shaoqing. ”

A voice rang out from outside the door.

Li Xiaoyao's brows furrowed slightly, it's so late, who is looking for him?

He put on the dark official robe again, walked to the door, opened the door and said, "Who?"

"Lord Shaoqing, the last general is the shadow guard, on the orders of His Majesty, I ask Lord Shaoqing to investigate the case of the disappearance of the princess. ”

"Stop, stop, stop. ”

Li Xiaoyao was a little dazed by the information contained in these words.

Shadow Guard??

The most mysterious official organization of the Tang Dynasty is said to be a mysterious force that only Emperor Li Shimin can command?

Your Majesty's order?

The princess is missing?

Don't look at this sentence as a lot, but it's really not small.

Usually hearing the word shadow guard, it's a big deal, after all, shadow guard can easily not show up, once he shows up, it is the two extremes of good and bad.

And in this sentence, the shadow guard is nothing, because the two identities of His Majesty and the princess are better than the shadow guard!

He quickly filtered the important information of this sentence in his mind, and then said: "The princess is missing, how can the princess be missing, she has been abducted from the palace?"

Ying Wei hurriedly shook his head: "Her Royal Highness the princess disappeared outside the palace, and we don't know what happened exactly, so we need Lord Shaoqing to investigate." ”

"Which princess is missing?" Lu Qing asked again.

Li Er has a lot of daughters, and he has to know who is missing.

The shadow guard raised his head and glanced at Lu Qing, and said, "It's the little son." ”

"Little princess?"

Li Xiaoyao was stunned, isn't this Li Er's joking that he wanted to give his daughter-in-law a few years ago?

I was too young, about seven years old, so I didn't care.

When he heard it now, Li Xiaoyao felt a little dreamlike.

Little princess, how can you say that you will lose it???

Just now he was still thinking about the little son, and it turned out that this is good!

Whoever thought of saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao would lose it.

Li Xiaoyao locked the door, walked out with the shadow guard, and said, "What the hell is going on? Shouldn't the little princess be in the palace normally? Why is it outside the palace?"

"Also, when did she disappear and where?"

Ying Wei said: "Back to Lord Shaoqing, Her Royal Highness the princess has indeed been in the palace all the time, but today...... There was a little accident, so I left the palace alone. ”

"Accident?

Li Xiaoyao frowned and asked: "This is very important, it is likely to be related to her disappearance, maybe the reason for her disappearance is in that accident." ”

Ying Wei glanced at Lu Qing, his expression a little complicated.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess's unexpected ...... It's you, Lord Shaoqing. ”

Li Xiaoyao: "......"

I'm sorry, I'm going to take back what I just said.

"Her Royal Highness the princess recently learned that you are here, this time you disappeared, in order to secretly come to find Lord Shaoqing, so I went out of the palace alone, the princess stared at Lord Shaoqing in the post station today for four or five hours, and left after dark. ”

Li Xiaoyao: "...... Really, really?"

How did he not know?

Don't lie to me!

The princess is so noble, she has nothing to do to peep at me?

Fortunately, the buddy drank less water and didn't go to the toilet!

Wouldn't it be looked at?

Surprised! When the princess is so perverted and perverted! Voyeur handsome boy goes to the toilet!

That is, the shadow guard didn't know what Lu Qing was thinking, otherwise he would definitely vomit blood.

"After Her Royal Highness left the station, she returned to the palace with her maidservant, but when she passed through Yongle Fang, a fog suddenly rose, and the fog was extremely thick, blocking our vision, and also surrounded Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"And when the fog disappeared, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the maidservant also disappeared, and then we searched all the nearby streets, but we did not find the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Your Majesty was furious when he found out, and ordered us to find Her Royal Highness the Princess as soon as possible, otherwise we will all fall to the ground. ”

Speaking of this, the shadow guard suddenly bowed freely: "Lord Shaoqing, now we can find Her Royal Highness the princess, only you can save us, and I hope that Lord Shaoqing will come to the rescue, Lord Shaoqing's kindness and I will remember it in our hearts and never forget it!"

Li Xiaoyao pursed his lips and immediately let out a sigh of relief.

He picked up the shadow guard and said, "My father used to be a member of the shadow guard, and thanks to the secret assistance of your uncles all these years, I have always kept this kindness in my heart. ”

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to find the little princess. ”

When this shadow guard heard this, he hurriedly rejoiced: "Thank you, Lord Shaoqing!"

Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath, and the tiger head on the dark robe was pale and hideous under the moonlight.

He said, "Let's go, take me to the scene of the crime." ”

Soon, Li Xiaoyao came to Yongle Fang.

At this point, the place was already full of people.

The shadow guards, Jing Zhaoyin's people, and even the guards in the palace are all here.

When he arrived, they were questioning the people living in the neighborhood one by one, and their homes were being searched.

But nothing was found.

"Lord Han, how is it?"

Li Xiaoyao asked Jingzhao Yin Hanmin.

At this time, Han Min was a little disgraced, his face was also a little pale, and the pupils in his eyes were bloodshot.

In the past few days, he really hasn't had a moment of rest.

First of all, the Lu family's massacre of the Lin family made him restless day and night.

It's rare that Li Xiaoyao is about to solve the case, but who knows that it has been less than two quarters of an hour before he was beaten up by Li Er.

Because Her Royal Highness the princess disappeared in Chang'an.

As Jing Zhaoyin, he has an unshirkable responsibility!

No, Li Er has already ordered that if he can't find the princess, he will lose his life.

Kyung Zhao Yin Han Min is really stuffed to death.

The passing year is not good!

He saw Li Xiaoyao's arrival, his tired eyes suddenly lit up, and the whole person was as if he had found a savior.

After experiencing the incident of the daytime station, Li Xiaoyao's status in his heart was instantly raised a lot.

He was about to cry: "Lord Shaoqing, this official can only rely on you, you must find Her Royal Highness the princess, otherwise you won't be able to see this official, you can only go to the official's grave to burn paper during the New Year's holidays." ”

Li Xiaoyao saw Han Min clutching his hand tightly, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping twice.

He quietly broke free of his hand, took a step back, distanced himself from Han Min, who was unknown, and then said, "Lord Han, don't worry, since this official is here, he will do his best." ”

"Tell me, how's it going?"

Han Min also knew that the matter was urgent, and hurriedly told the information he knew.

"Her Royal Highness the princess disappeared here about half an hour ago, and Chang'an had already started a curfew at the time of her disappearance, so there were no pedestrians on the streets. ”

"Then we got the news, so we quickly blocked the roads around us, and we didn't see any unknown people, we also questioned the people of Yongle Fang, and searched the nearby mansions, but as a result, we still found nothing, and we didn't get any clues. ”

Li Xiaoyao listened to Han Min's narration and looked around.

Chang'an has one hundred and eight squares.

Because Yongle Fang is close to the palace, the land price is very high, and the people who can live here are either big families, or officials and gentry, or rich businessmen, which can be said to be either rich or expensive.

This is a rich area.

The place where the little princess disappeared is located in the alley of Yongle Fang.

There are two roads from Yongle Fang to the palace, one big road, but it is a long detour.

There is also this alley, which is more winding, but the distance can be reduced by at least half.

He thought for a while and said, "Let our people go back, don't disturb the rest of the people, and now we must control our speech and prevent rumors from flying all over the sky." ”

"And I heard that Princess Changle was disguised as a man when she disappeared, and she disappeared, not necessarily because she was a princess, but if she was really kidnapped by thieves, the thieves knew that she was a princess, maybe in a hurry, they would take risks. ”

"After all, kidnapping an ordinary person is a completely different crime from kidnapping a princess. ”

Hearing this, Han Min nodded hurriedly.

"That's right, maybe the thieves didn't kidnap her because of Her Royal Highness's identity, in case the thieves knew Her Highness's identity, it would be dangerous. ”

He hurriedly said, "I'm going to let people go back and let everyone else be silenced." ”

After Han Min left, Li Xiaoyao looked at the shadow guard again, he had asked before, this shadow guard was called Lu Shisan.

His surname is Lu, and he is called Lu Thirteen in the Shadow Guard.

As for the original name, it will never be mentioned unless he quits the Shadow Guard or dies.

"Lu Shisan, you have been secretly following Her Royal Highness the Princess, haven't you?" asked Li Xiaoyao.

Lu Shisan nodded: "That's right, Your Highness has a noble status after all, and we have to ensure her safety, but we can't be discovered by her, so we are all following in secret, and the distance is about twenty zhang." ”

"Twenty zhang?"

Li Xiaoyao calculated the distance and said, "This distance is not too far, did you rush out directly after you found that Her Royal Highness the princess was surrounded by mist?"

Lu 13 shook his head: "We didn't come here immediately at that time, because there was no one on the curfew road, and we didn't suspect anything wrong with this fog, so we didn't act immediately." ”

"Later, we heard an exclamation, and knew that something might be wrong, so we rushed over. ”

"But when we came, Her Royal Highness was gone. ”

Li Xiaoyao reviewed the situation in his mind, and he asked, "How long did it take from the appearance of the fog, to the time you heard the screams, and then to the time you rushed here?"

"Fifteen breaths or so we heard screams, and we rushed over for no more than five breaths. ”

So that's twenty breaths, about twenty seconds?

That's not a long time.

It was not easy to make two big living people disappear out of thin air in just twenty seconds.

And there's that fog......

Is it a coincidence?

Or, rather, artificial?

Li Xiaoyao pondered intently, and suddenly, his eyes moved.

"What is this?"

Li Xiaoyao squatted down, raised his finger and touched the wall, and then withdrew his hand, full of water droplets.

And the walls are a little cooler, much cooler than the air.

Don't......

Li Xiaoyao hurriedly looked at Lu Shisan and said, "When you came over, did you feel that the temperature here was a little cold?"

Lu Shisan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said: "Don't mention it, we really don't care, now that I think about it, it seems that it is really colder here than other places, but when the fog disperses, it is not so cold." ”

Li Xiaoyao's eyes flickered.

And so it was.

"So, how do people disappear? Disappear without a trace in twenty seconds, how do you do it?"

Li Xiaoyao pursed his lips, pondering in his heart.

"Lord Shaoqing, Your Majesty wants to see you. ”

At this time, Han Min suddenly walked over and said.

Li Xiaoyao followed the prestige, only to find out that Li Er didn't know when he came here.

Lu Qing walked over: "Your Majesty." ”

Li Er's face was a little pale, and his originally deep eyes were also full of regret at the moment, he looked at Lu Qing and opened his mouth, his voice was very hoarse.

"Xiaoyao, save the little son, you must save her. ”

"Forget ......it," Li Er suddenly bowed to Li Xiaoyao: "I beg you." ”
