Chapter 694 accident
In the second half of the night, snowflakes actually floated in the sky.
The snowflakes are light and not as noisy as raindrops, so they have not affected Mu Yingbao in his sleep at all.
When it was dawn, someone knocked outside the Xihunting Pavilion gate, and it was knocking softly, but it was a little urgent.
The first thing I heard was Xue Wenyu, who knew that this was another important matter.
He got out of bed gently and tucked the quilt for his wife. Then he reached out and pulled the cotton robe on and walked out.
The knockers were also very sensible and didn't keep knocking.
Xue Wenyu opened the door and realized that it was snowing and the yard was white.
"What's the matter? Let's talk about it in the study." Xue Wenyu said in a low voice.
Hua Liang knocked on the door and then tiptoed into the study.
"Master, I'm back." Hua Liang was a little excited.
Xue Wenyu frowned when he heard this. What does it mean? Who is back?
Hua Liang also suddenly realized that he was too frivolous; "Back to the master, the eighth princess of Yunning Kingdom, Ziyun, is back."
"Here you come back? Why did you come back? When did you happen? Let me say more details." Xue Wenyu was not excited, but was surprised.
When you disappear, it is inexplicable.
Now, is it back?
"I went back to the master, just an hour ago. My subordinates led people to stare near Guanyi. The people from the Kong Gang were staring there. The first half of the night was normal as before, but in the middle of the night, people on both sides almost found that someone was coming at the same time, and more than one of them were.
So we thought about calm down and waited for someone to enter the range before taking action.
However, those people were very alert. They were obviously fast-forwarding within the controllable range. Suddenly, they found an ambush, so they retreated.
The subordinates and the leader Kong Gang chased after him." Hua Liang reported very carefully.
Xue Wenyu suddenly interrupted him, "You all went after you, but no one was left in the same place?"
When Hua Liang heard this, he immediately responded, "I'm going back to my master, I'm staying, but my subordinates are not so stupid. How can I not beware of their lures from the mountain? Not only did the subordinates leave the two, but also the leader Kong Gang, but he also kept people to keep watching."
At this point, Hua Liang paused for a moment, looked at the master, and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he continued to speak in annoyance. "I didn't expect that even if I stayed, it would be useless. When we returned, we heard something strange in the official post. When we went in to check, we heard the maid screaming in the suite where the Eighth Princess lived.
It turned out that the eighth princess was already on the bed inside the house, just in a coma."
When Xue Wenyu heard this, he had basically concluded from his subordinates' expressions; "You and Kong Lian's people are all fruitless, right?"
Hua Liang knelt on one knee; "My subordinate is incompetent, please punish him."
After so many days of guarding, I was still in vain. The person escaped without a trace under his nose, and the eighth princess returned to the room of Guanyi under their noses.
Although Xue Wenyu's subordinates have different personalities, one thing is the same, that is, whenever they fail in doing things, they will never make excuses for themselves, nor will they emphasize how powerful the other party is, but will find the reasons for everything in themselves. They are too incompetent, so they fail!
Looking at the unswept snowflakes on his hair bun and shoulders, how could Xue Wenyu be able to scold him again? "It's not your fault, get up and talk."
"Thank you, Master." Hua Liang didn't insist. When the master spoke, he immediately stood up and stood up straight.
"It snowed tonight, but the snow was not heavy. When I was chasing me, I thought of following the footprints on the snow. However, the footprints suddenly disappeared out of thin air. The place where the footprints disappeared was very empty, with no trees and no houses.
It’s like when a person reaches that position, suddenly stops walking with his feet and grows wings and flies.
Master, is there really someone in this world who is so good at light skills that he can walk on the snow without traces?"
Xue Wenyu shook his head. Even those who have reached the highest level of light skills cannot walk without traces on snow or float on water. That is just an exaggerated publicity by storytellers; "It should be that they walked backwards and used some methods to cover up the footprints left on the snow.
Even if you are falling, if they had prepared to bring white cloth robes or something tonight, they would pack them up even during the day, even during the day, they would be afraid that they would be difficult to detect for a while.
What's more, their purpose was to lead you away so that their own people could send the princess to the official office.
So, there is no need to blame yourself.”
Hua Liang felt warm when he saw that his master was not at all displeased; "But if they had planned so well, then unless?"
"Unless there is a master among them who can predict that it will snow tonight." Xue Wenyu said it for him; "Okay, let's talk about other things, what did the delegation say? Have you seen Princess Ziyun?"
Hua Liang told that he had never seen Princess Ziyun with his own eyes, because the people in the mission blocked the princess's room and were not allowed to enter.
The reason why I was sure that Princess Ziyun was back was because Hua Liang was unwilling to accept it, so I secretly got on the princess' roof and checked it before confirming it.
The princess looked dirty and disheveled, not Hua Liang had a good memory, but she almost couldn't recognize her. The beggar-like woman was the arrogant and domineering princess who was more than ten days ago.
"Dirty? He's disheveled and his hair is like a beggar?" Xue Wenyu muttered, what's going on? Could it be that he was kidnapped by a beggar?
"Our people are still staring there, and there are still a few who continue to wait for dawn in the place where the footprints disappear, and then see if there will be any discoveries. I will come back first and report, Master, see, what should I do next?" Hua Liang's originally nervous heart was completely relieved.
"Wait for me and go and have a look together." Xue Wenyu said without thinking.
"But master, it's not appropriate to go now? They will definitely be arrogant and will not be allowed to see each other." Hua Liang said his opinion.
After saying that, he saw his master looking at him like a fool.
"Did I say that I went to Guanyi?" Xue Wenyu said that and walked out.
He wouldn't be anxious to see the princess. What he was interested in was that those people suddenly had no footprints.
As long as they do something and check it carefully, they will definitely find clues.
Xue Wenyu entered the bedroom and did not rush to wear boots, but looked at the person lying on the bed.
When he was sitting on the edge of the bed and wearing his boots lightly, his belt suddenly moved. He looked down and saw a white little hand.
"Are you going to practice martial arts?" Mu Yingbao's voice was lazy.
"Just just now, Princess Ziyun is back. I want to go out of the city with him to check something. It's snowing outside, so it's still early, so you can lie down for a while." After Xue Wenyu said that, he put his hand holding his belt, put it beside his mouth and kissed it, and put it back into the quilt.
"Oh, you go." Mu Yingbao was indeed not awake yet.
Xue Wenyu felt a little strange just now. Why did she hear the news that the princess is back so calmly? Suddenly, the person who was originally sleepy and confused in the quilt suddenly sat up and asked in surprise, "What, who is back?"
Seeing her after-aware reaction, Xue Wenyu smiled helplessly, reached out to pinch her nose, and gently pressed the person back into the bed; "Yes, you heard it right, it was the princess who came back, Hua Liang said that she was disheveled and bleak, like a beggar woman.
Let me tell you, you are not allowed to go out to watch the fun without understanding the matter.
At most, when I come back, I'll go with you. Do you remember?"
