In the afternoon, deep in the grassland.

The 200,000 Xianbei reinforcements counted the number of people three times in succession before they began to set out again.

Murong Lie rode on his horse and turned his head to look around.

As soon as he received Murong Kuo's Flying Eagle message, he ordered the army to count the number of people, and took all the boxes, carriages, and other places where people could be hidden. The entire army was turned upside down, but there was no trace of the Ninth Princess.

"Strange, where is this girl Mingyue?" Murong Lie thought silently.

There are all kinds of indications that Murong Mingyue is going to Juling Pass to avenge Murong Changfeng, but she is indeed not in the army. Given this conclusion, he can only draw two possibilities:

1. Murong Mingyue did not travel with the army, but chose other ways.

Second, Murong Mingyue did mix in the army at first, but later disappeared when the number of people was counted.

The only difference between these two possibilities is which direction Murong Mingyue is in the army.

Murong Lie pondered for a moment, already thinking in his heart.

"Monchi!"

As soon as he beckoned, the lieutenant Meng Qi immediately rushed to the front and asked, "What's the matter, big marshal?"

"Order, let the army march as usual, don't delay the trip because the ninth princess is alone. In addition, scouts were widely dispatched in front and behind the army, and once the traces of the nine princesses were found, they did not need to ask for instructions, and immediately brought people to the Chinese army. ”

Murong Lie paused, and then added: "People must be brought back, but we must also pay attention to ways and means. The ninth princess is a daughter, if anyone behaves inappropriately in the process of bringing her back, which makes her unhappy, hehe, don't say that Your Majesty will blame, even I, the fourth uncle, will never agree. Remember?"

"Well, I'll give the order right away. Monchi nodded.

"Wait?" Murong Lie suddenly remembered something, and asked suspiciously, "Meng Qi, are you sure you have seen all the carriages?"

"I've seen it all, handsome. Monchi affirmed. "We even unloaded the cart loaded with grain and stones, and even went in under the cart to take a look, and we really didn't find the Ninth Princess. ”

"Where's the car of the Seven Venerables?" Murong Lie smiled slyly, the last glimmer of hope floating on his face.

"Well, I haven't seen that carriage yet. Monchi also looked like he had a sudden realization.

Those seven Venerable Beings from the Demon Sect Castle had a transcendent status, and even Murong Lie didn't dare to disturb them easily, let alone him.

"Let's go over and have a look. For a while, you must not talk nonsense, so as not to disturb the cultivation of several Venerable Ones. ”

Murong Lie said as he beat his horse and galloped forward.

Monchi followed.

The two of them quickly caught up with the carriage carrying the seven Venerables. Murong Lie gradually slowed down his horse speed and walked side by side with the car. "Your Holiness are well, I'm Murong Lie. Murong Lie revealed his identity and said, "There is some information about the murderer from the front. With all due respect, I beg to get on board. ”

For a long time, the Venerable Ones did not speak.

"These guys, every day like a stone to cultivate any kind of mental method, it takes so hard to say a word, it's really. Murong Lie sneered in his heart, but he didn't dare to get into the car to check.

These Venerables from the Demon Sect Castle are all unfathomable in their cultivation, and they have a face that does not enter oil and salt all day long. If it weren't for the urgency to find Murong Mingyue, he wouldn't touch this moldy head and talk to these people with a smiling face.

After a long time, there was still no sound inside.

"Isn't His Holiness in the car?" Murong Lie was stunned for a moment, and asked the soldier who was driving the car suspiciously.

"Ah, they never got out of the car. The creep replied softly, but in the affirmative.

"Really?" Murong Lie was even more suspicious, he immediately made a decision after a little thought, and ordered: "Stop the car, I have something important to discuss with a few Venerable Beings." ”

The soldier did not dare to listen, and with one hand he pulled the reins of his horse, causing the eight horses to gradually stop, and parked the carriage on the side of the road.

Murong Lie turned over and dismounted, walked to the carriage in a few steps and gently opened the door.

It was empty.

"What about people?" Murong Lie raised his eyebrows and asked sharply.

"I... I don't know, they... They've been in the car all the time. The little soldier was also dumbfounded and trembling with fright.

"Stupid, I can't even look at a person. Murong Lie gave the little soldier a whip and opened his mouth to ask, "When was the last time you saw them?"

"I... I—" The little soldier stammered, an aggrieved expression on his face.

He only saw the Venerable Ones get into the carriage when he was leaving, and never came out again. In view of the transcendent status of those Venerables, during this period, he had only dutifully driven the car in front, and he didn't even dare to turn back to say a word, let alone open the door like Murong Lie to check. Therefore, asking him this question now really makes him feel aggrieved that "you ask me, who do I ask".

"You ......"

Murong lit it with a horsewhip angrily, with an expression that he didn't know what to say.

Those Venerable Beings had vanished into thin air.

In the face of such strange things, no matter how much you blame this little soldier, it will not help. Moreover, this creep didn't actually do anything wrong from beginning to end. Since those Venerable Ones were determined to leave, even if someone else came to catch the car, the result would be the same.

"You, go ahead and drive this broken car. Fuck, what a mallet!" Murong Lie thought for a moment, then turned on his horse, scolded the little soldier, and rode away.

"Dashuai, what's going on?" Meng Qi greeted him from afar.

"Yue'er, this girl, is likely to follow the seven Venerables first. Murong Lie pondered.

"Ah, the princess and the Venerable... How is this possible?" Monchi was surprised.

"How is that possible?" Murong Lie smiled: "Since Your Majesty can invite the Venerable, Yue'er will naturally be able to fool them away." This is called that where there is a father, there must be a daughter, haha!"

"In this way, the Ninth Princess is really ice and snow smart. Monchi exclaimed.

"Nonsense, and don't look at whose niece it is. Murong Lie glanced at him and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, let's give the order quickly?!"

"Yes, Marshal!" said Monchi, but did not take a step. He hesitated for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Dashuai, then, scout... Do you still send it?"

"Pai, why don't you send it? You have to prepare a few more sets of plans for everything, so that nothing goes wrong. You kid, do you understand?" Murong Lie raised his hand and whipped a horse whip on the buttocks of Mengqi's war horse, and the horse neighed and jumped forward with a smoke.

"Dashuai, you fix me again. Monchi was caught off guard and almost fell. Fortunately, he has grown up on horseback since he was a child, and his horse control skills have long been perfected. Soon the galloping war horse was stabilized again.

Murong Lie looked at his distant back and laughed.
