Cheng Shuiyao nodded, "You go to the old general quickly now, tell him that something may have happened to Xiao Ji, and ask him to take me to the barracks, and I may not be able to enter that place myself." ”

Although Xiao Zhenheng has no official position now, those people in the military camp know him well, and it is much better than himself, the wife of a young general who has never shown up.

Xiaoyun nodded and ran out quickly.

Cheng Shuiyao didn't dare to delay, hurriedly changed into light clothes, and walked outside the house.

Xiao Zhenheng didn't dare to delay after hearing Xiaoyun's words, cleaned up a little, and hurried to the gate of the mansion.

Cheng Shuiyao saluted and immediately spoke, "The handwriting on that note from the army is not Xiao Ji's, so I'm worried that something happened to him." ”

"Well, then you get in the car first......" Xiao Zhenheng nodded, and just wanted to beckon Cheng Shuiyao to get into the car, he found that there was no carriage prepared at the door, but only two horses.

"I can ride a horse, so I can ride over, so that I can go faster," Cheng Shuiyao said as she turned over and got on the horse, her movements were crisp and neat, not at all like she had never ridden.

When Xiao Zhenheng saw her like this, he put his mind at ease, quickly got on the horse, and took her to the barracks with him.

The people in the barracks all knew Xiao Zhenheng, and after a little interrogation, they let him in.

The two men went directly into the general's tent, but they didn't find anyone.

The official documents in front of the table were scattered all over the ground, and it looked like it should have been the result of a fight.

"Someone!" Xiao Zhenheng roared angrily and directly called the guards outside the door in.

"Old General Xiao, what's the matter?" The guards were taken aback by Xiao Zhenheng, and subconsciously called Xiao Zhenheng's official name.

But Xiao Zhenheng didn't bother to correct it at all, and asked him directly, "Where did Xiao Ji go?" ”

"General Xiao Xiao is not ......" The guard was asked inexplicably, and just wanted to say that Xiao Ji was here, but he didn't expect to turn around and not even see a figure.

"You're out there and you don't find anything?"

When Xiao Zhenheng saw his reaction, he also knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he shook his sleeves angrily, "Don't go out and find it yet!" ”

Although Xiao Zhenheng temporarily left this official position, the momentum on his body did not change at all, as soon as these words came out, the guard trembled for a moment, and hurriedly ran out, not caring about what Xiao Zhenheng could not order him now.

Cheng Shuiyao knew that caring was chaotic, so she forced herself to calm down, walked to the table, and began to look for clues.

Although the things on the ground are scattered, if you look closely, there is a neatness in the scatteredness, and there seems to be some pattern.

So it seems...... It shouldn't be like it's messed up in a fight.

Cheng Shuiyao overturned her previous opinion and slowly stood up.

His eyes touched the fold that was trampled on, Cheng Shuiyao raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly bent down to pick up the fold.

"The mud on here is still wet, and it hasn't rained recently, so I think the murderer has just been to the riverbank or something, and the surrounding riverbank is only ......"

Cheng Shuiyao paused, and instantly thought of the moat.

"Since the murderer came from there, it's hard to guarantee that he won't go back from there, you and I will go there first, maybe we can find any clues," Xiao Zhenheng looked at it, felt that what Cheng Shuiyao said was very reasonable, and hurriedly took Cheng Shuiyao to the moat.

Cheng Shuiyao was riding a horse while recalling this incident, and always felt that this matter was a little familiar.

Moat...... Moat...... Wait a minute!

Cheng Shuiyao suddenly paused and remembered something.

The person who kidnapped him before was also a moat, so there won't be any connection between the two things, right? Or is this the same group of people doing it?

But what good is kidnapping Xiao Ji for them? Xiao Ji has martial arts, and his usual skills can't trap him, in case Xiao Ji escapes, aren't they just a bamboo basket to draw water?

And Xiao Ji has an official position, if something goes wrong, it is a big crime to murder the official of the imperial court, why did the other party take such a big risk to kidnap Xiao Ji?

Countless questions lingered around Cheng Shuiyao, but Cheng Shuiyao had already arrived at the moat before he had time to think about it.

Sure enough, there were some traces on the shore next to the moat.

Cheng Shuiyao took a closer look and found that these footprints were intricate, as if someone was deliberately trying to blur something.

"No matter what they want to blur, it has nothing to do with Xiao Ji we are looking for," Xiao Zhenheng saw Cheng Shuiyao's hesitation and slowly spoke, "These footprints only go to the city, not outside the city, it seems that they didn't leave here." ”

"Not necessarily, what if they go backwards?" Cheng Shuiyao shook her head, took a closer look at the footprints, and sure enough, she found that the depth of the footprints was different.

"If you carry someone on your back, then the footprints will be relatively deep," Cheng Shuiyao said as she measured the depth of these footprints, and sure enough, she found that some of them were deeper than others.

"According to what you say, they just carried Xiao Ji on their backs, walked backwards to the river, and then got on the boat and left?"

Xiao Zhenheng raised his head and looked at the water, thinking in his heart about the possibility of what Cheng Shuiyao said.

Looking at the situation at the scene just now, the chaos should be an illusion deliberately created by someone, which means that Xiao Ji actually did not resist.

As for why Xiao Ji didn't resist? Then it is possible that he was stunned, which would explain the problem of footprints.

Xiao Zhenheng nodded, feeling that what Cheng Shuiyao said was very likely.

"Anyway, let's send someone to find it first," Cheng Shuiyao slowly stood up, glanced across the river, and recalled in his mind the clues that he had been kidnapped before.

But her head hurt when she thought about it, and she really couldn't think of anything.

Just as she was thinking about it, Mo Qi and the others hurried over with a large number of secret guards.

"Leave the rest to the guards in the mansion, it's too dangerous for you to stay outside without martial arts, hurry up and go back to the mansion first, I'll send you the news as soon as possible," Xiao Zhenheng glanced at Cheng Shuiyao, and then turned his head to look at Moqin.

Mo Qin nodded, and hurriedly stepped forward to leave with Cheng Shuiyao.

Cheng Shuiyao didn't want to stay here and make trouble, so she didn't say anything, and just got on the horse and left.

Back in the house, Cheng Shuiyao saw Xie Yin when he entered the house.

After Xiao Zhenheng left in a hurry, Xie Yin came here and waited for Cheng Shuiyao to come back.

As soon as he saw Cheng Shuiyao at this time, Xie Yin hurriedly spoke, "What's going on?" ”

"I haven't found anyone yet," Cheng Shuiyao shook her head, but she was afraid that Xie Yin would worry, so she hurriedly spoke, "But my father-in-law has already sent someone out to find him, and I want to be able to send the news back soon, mother-in-law, you don't have to worry." ”

"How can this be so decent, this happened suddenly," Xie Yin frowned, really couldn't figure it out.
