In the name of looking for the maid Cai'er, Yang Yan mobilized all the official forces in the border countryside.

After the patrol officer Zhang Quan learned the news, he mobilized the masses from ten miles and eight townships, and the search team became even larger.

And Cheng Han, who didn't bring anyone back, also rushed back in time and threw himself into the search.

Overnight, the silence of the border country was broken, and the torches danced like dragons.

Yang Yan stayed in the study and waited for news.

Almost every hour, disappointing news reaches him.

When the day was about to dawn, it was deserted in the Nihuang Palace, and news reached Yang Yan again.

Still haven't found Mo Xiaobei.

The maid Cai'er is still nowhere to be found.

Ji Huaan also brought a piece of news:

There are a large number of footprints on the tiles on the top of Yang Yan's dormitory, and there are traces that the tiles have been turned.

Obviously, someone has been spying on him recently, and this person's skill is definitely not low, otherwise it would be impossible to escape the usual inspection of the commander and guard Cheng Han.

"It's really a wave of unevenness! Blowing out the candle, Yang Yan rubbed his eyes that had not been closed all night.

"Your Highness, did you say that this could have something to do with the disappearance of Miss Mo and the others?" Ji Huaan wondered.

"Who knows!" The situation is not under his control, Yang Yan is very angry, "Investigate this matter thoroughly and find out the person for me as soon as possible!"

"Your Highness rest assured, the lower official has already ordered to go down, and I believe that there will be results soon. ”

can think of the prince first, and he really deserves to be a confidant minister, this old thing is very good, Yang Yan thought to himself.

Ji Huaan saw that the prince was silent, and after thinking for a while, he continued, "Your Highness, the lower official has secretly investigated, and several powerful people around the prince and princess are not in the border countryside, and the lower official does not think that the person in the secret is an enemy spy. ”

"To the point where I feel..."

Speaking of this, Ji Huaan stopped, looking at his expression, he was obviously a little hesitant, not very sure.

"What is there to hesitate about, just say what you want to say. Yang Yantai raised his eyes and looked at Ji Huaan.

This person came to such a hopeless border country, and he actually took the initiative to understand the enemy's situation, proving that his ambition was not dead, and he did not completely give up the hope that the four princes might seize the throne.

This is very good, as a confidant you rely on, if you don't have any ambition, how can you help yourself achieve hegemony in the future!?

Yang Yan smiled, Ji Hua'an was right, the person in the secret could never be a spy, and with someone as strong as the fourth prince, it would not be enough for his brothers and sisters to spend so much thought.

In fact, after Yang Yan crossed over, in order to ensure the absolute safety of his living place, he specially investigated it thoroughly, and found that the second prince and the third princess had installed two chicken-like characters in the Nihuang Palace, and he didn't bother to deal with them, and let the two spies do their own thing.

Ji Hua'an was still hesitating, as if he was organizing language, Yang Yan no longer urged him, and after a while, he listened to Ji Hua'an ask, "Your Highness, do you remember the discovery of a group of goddesses in the Misty Forest a few days ago?"

"Hmm. ”

Yang Yan took out a coin that looked like jade but not jade from his arms, and he still remembered that Ji Huaan said that the "mountain" pattern on this coin was the sacred mountain of the goddess, and the purpose of that group of goddesses was probably to find the entrance of this sacred mountain.

"Your Highness, the lower officials believe that the person in the secret is likely to be a goddess, and that group of goddesses is likely to come to the border countryside and take Miss Mo Xiaobei away. ”

"Oh?

"Your Highness, there is a Freemasonic organization in the goddess group, this organization will actively absorb any new goddess who finds it, and the place where they appear is so close to the border township, it is very likely that after knowing the existence of Miss Mo, secretly observing you did not hurt the goddess, so they just took Miss Mo away and did not hurt you. ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying. But there are other possibilities. Yang Yan admits that it cannot be ruled out that this may be the case.

But how to explain that Cai'er also disappeared with her?

"Go to a hunter named Motus, and say I'm going to hire him and let him go to the palace to find out who is spying on them. ”

Hunters have the ability to follow traces, and Yang Yan can just use his skills, and at the same time, he also wants to see if Motus is worth cultivating.

There is also a Zhang Quan, who is also a talent discovered by Yang Yan yesterday, he had secretly told Zhang Quan about finding Mo Xiaobei and Cai'er last night, and handed over the task of finding the two to Zhang Quan.

The reason why he did this was not that Yang Yan was lazy and wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

He had more important things to do.

With only three months left before the Beast Teng Season, he must prioritize how to protect the border countryside, which involves the plan in his heart.

Originally, he wanted to wait until he had collected enough divine power to open the system before executing the plan in his heart, but Mo Xiaobei's disappearance disrupted his deployment, so he had to put the plan on the agenda.

He picked up an envelope from the table and handed it to Ji Huaan, "I wrote a letter to the mayor of Wangmo Town last night, you can arrange for someone to send it over as soon as possible, the sooner the better." ”

Ji Huaan nodded, took the envelope and didn't ask anything.

The border countryside is the only place where there is trade with Yangu Fortress and Wangmo Town.

The amount of trade with Wangmo Township was very small, and the bulk of the coal mines smuggled to it by officials from the border townships.

Wangmo Town is a large town in the Great Yan Kingdom, with a population of tens of thousands, and is located in the Youlan Harbor area under the control of the third princess.

Ji Huaan was very curious about why the fourth prince wrote there and what he wrote.

But as a senior politician, he knew what the prince didn't want him to know yet, and he resolutely didn't want to inquire.
