"Bang bang bang bang...... Xiao Yichen's tall body lowered his head and drilled through the short door, and saw that the frame of a ship inside had been built, and the frame of the ship looked like it was about five meters long, I don't know when, a small wooden table was placed next to the low wall, there was a design drawing on the wooden table, and there were many shipbuilding tools, and there were also a lot of things placed next to the table legs, this small lawn was filled with all kinds of tools and wood, and I saw Qiqiao sitting on a wooden pier grinding out a lot of wood chips there, Xiao Yichen looked around, and did not find Lu Xiaoqi.

Qiqiao found that the prince was coming, put down the tools in his hand, clapped his hands and stood up, and saluted Xiao Yichen, "Lord." ”

Xiao Yichen turned around again, "What about the princess?" ”

"Oh, back to the prince, Miss found that the hemp silk was not enough and took Lin Qi to buy it."

Xiao Yichen nodded, turned around and was about to leave, and asked uneasily, "How long have you been out?" ”

Qiqiao saw that Xiao Yichen had turned around to leave, and was going to sit down and continue to work on herself, but she heard him ask again, and she was so frightened that she had just bent down and stiffened up, "Back to the prince, it's been almost half an hour, it stands to reason that I should be back, but..."

Xiao Yichen continued to ask, "Which store did you go to?" ”

"I went to the shop where I came back yesterday and passed by."

"Okay, it's okay."

Xiao Yichen was a little worried, so he hurriedly went out, "Ah Wu, prepare the horse ......"

"Driving... "Xiao Yichen ran on the street quickly, Ah Wu followed closely, and quickly rushed to the store, Xiao Yichen raised his eyes and looked at the name of the store, Shanxiang grocery store, dismounted and walked into the store, the shopkeeper saw King Chen coming to the shop, and quickly greeted him with a smile, "Yo... Why are you here, what do you need, the shop has everything, what do you need? ”

"Half an hour ago, did a petite woman in red come here?" Xiao Yichen looked cold, glanced at the shopkeeper alone, the rows of shelves behind the counter, the objects on the shelves were covered with dust, and they had not been wiped, only the counter had no dust, and there was a golden toad that was not big or small, and there were several account books.

"I want to do it, oh...... Is it a very handsome woman, and a man is accompanied by her. The shopkeeper said that the big black mole on the corner of his mouth was moving there, and there was a long hair growing on the mole, and he smiled very cunningly.

Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light after hearing this, and his fingers pinched behind his back, "Yes, who are they?" ”

"They left after buying things, I was still curious, a woman didn't go to the clothing store to buy hemp silk, and came to me..." ”

"I went out to see them go east, do you have anything to do with them?" The shopkeeper looked at this one cautiously, thinking that he had to be careful, and if he offended his own life, it would be over.

Xiao Yichen didn't wait to answer the shopkeeper's question, and hurriedly walked out......

At the gate of the palace

Lin Qi dragged his lame leg and ran in, the housekeeper happened to walk over with a pot of tea, and saw Lin Qi bleeding on his head and limping on his legs, so he quickly put down the tea and went over to help him, "Ah Qi, what's wrong with you, who beat you?" ”

Lin Qi didn't care about the ins and outs of the matter, so he only gasped and asked, "What about the prince?" ”

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang just took Ah Wu out." The housekeeper was also a little anxious, and he stumbled when he spoke.

"Quick, go to the prince and tell the prince that the princess has been kidnapped."

"What?" This news can be described as a bolt from the blue for the butler, and the sound of horses' hooves followed, "Butler, is the princess back?" Xiao Yichen came in in a hurry and hurriedly asked the housekeeper, ignoring the injured Lin Qi.

When Lin Qi saw the prince coming back, he knelt directly on the ground, "Lord, Lin Qi is sorry for you, you failed to protect the princess, and the princess was robbed." Xiao Yichen's eyes were bloodshot after hearing the news, "Where was it robbed, where is it?" Xiao Yichen almost yelled.

"On the way back, suddenly a man appeared behind me and hit me in the leg, and then knocked me unconscious with a stick, and when I woke up, the princess was gone." The person who could quietly knock him out behind Lin Qi's back was set on Lin Qi's kung fu, otherwise Lin Qi would not have noticed that someone was following behind him.

"Ah Wu, gather the government soldiers and find them for me."

"Housekeeper, go find the house doctor and bandage Lin Qi."

"Lord, the princess was lost by me, if you don't find the princess, how can your subordinates rest assured, you just let me go with you to find it." Lin Qi pleaded again and again, but Xiao Yichen looked at Lin Qi's limping legs, and still asked the housekeeper to help Lin Qi go to the house doctor.

Ah Wu summoned the government soldiers as quickly as possible, let the government soldiers find them, and then asked Ah Wu to gather the Xiao cavalry guards, go out of the city to find traces, and strictly check the city gate.

Xiao Yichen took Ah Wu to the scene to check, only to see a pool of bloodstains, this bloodstain is estimated to be left by Lin Qi, and found a hairpin next to the wooden box, Xiao Yichen reached out and picked up the hairpin, turned around, and determined that it was Lu Xiaoqi's hairpin, "Lord Wang..."

The footprints of passers-by are very gentle, and these two footprints are one at the root of the wall, the other is half a foot on the wall, and the most suspicious thing is that the toes are on the top and the heels are on the bottom, which looks like they are left by people with kung fu. Xiao Yichen frowned, stared at the two footprints fiercely, and the meridians on the two temples where his teeth were bitten rose one by one, "Dig three feet into the ground for me and find out the princess." ”

"Yes." Xiao Yichen was unprecedentedly flustered, this really didn't look like him, "Lord Wang... Lord Wang, the kidnappers have a letter. Lin Qi was wrapped in gauze on his head, his legs were still limping, and he always looked like he would fall off if he was not careful. Lin Qi almost fell off the horse as soon as he got off the horse, but fortunately he was helped by Xiao Yichen. Lin Qi handed over the envelope, and Xiao Yichen hurriedly opened the envelope, "If you want to save the princess, you can exchange the list." ”

Xiao Yichen's brows furrowed even tighter, "No one has ever dared to threaten this king like this. "It should be said that nothing could pose a threat to Xiao Yichen in the past, but now Xiao Yichen has a weakness, and that weakness is Lu Xiaoqi. Xiao Yichen clutched the envelope in his hand.
