Mu Bai stood by the side of the horse and looked at his young master's silhouette. He couldn't help but sigh. This young master had a heroic aura on the battlefield, and was unrestrained. Yet, he was now in such a sorry state.
As he was thinking, Mu Bai seemed to have heard something heading east. He raised his head, and his face revealed a panicked expression. He shouted, "Second Young Master, look over there! There's a fire!"
Hearing his voice, Xiao He turned his head to take a look. Indeed, there was a house that was on fire all of a sudden in the darkness. Smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky.
"This seems to be the clothing shop in Jingxi. Come, let's go take a look."
"Yes, Second Young Master, please get on the horse!"
"Young duke." Xiao He had just jumped onto his horse and was about to rush towards the river when Feng Qianyue's personal guard, Ying Kong, walked over and knelt on one knee as he called out.
"Win empty? What brings you here now? " Xiao He asked.
"The wangfei has urgent matters to attend to. She asks the young duke to make a trip to the Residence of Yue as soon as possible and to order this lowly subordinate to deliver a letter." As he spoke, he stood up and delivered Xiao Rou's letter into Xiao He's hands.
Xiao He opened the letter and saw that Xiao Rou had written that because she could not get out of bed during pregnancy, she had to be very careful and fidgety every day. As a result, she was very nostalgic and wanted to see her second brother immediately.
"Young duke, when the wangfei handed the letter to me, I don't know why but she cried …" Ying Kong lowered his head and said.
"Put out the fire, put out the fire …" Xiao He could vaguely hear that there were a lot of people shouting over at the shop in the west of the capital. He said, "Let's go to the Residence of Yue." He immediately turned around to look at the house that was engulfed in a sea of flames. Then, he mounted his horse and rode in the direction of the King of Yue's mansion.
Not long after Xiao He's horse left, a black figure hurriedly ran over. Xiao He's horse had just left when a black figure hurriedly ran over.
She bit her lower lip again and ran toward the river.
She heard the faint clatter of hooves behind her, and she jerked her head back, as if the horses were coming her way, and when she saw that she was at the edge of the river, she stood on the embankment about three feet (three meters) high, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and jumped down.
"Eleven!" As she jumped to her feet, a hand reached out and grabbed her by the waist.
She was shocked. She turned around and saw a familiar face in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat.
"Fourth brother …" "You, you …"
Feng Qianyue's gaze stared fixedly at him, and a hint of shock flashed through his eyes as he said, "So it turns out that you're really not dead."
Feng Lingyue quickly lowered her head, a look of guilt flashing through her eyes. "I, I'm not …"
Feng Qianyue heard the horse hooves getting closer and closer, so he held onto Feng Lingyue and said, "Come with me."
"No!" Feng Lingyue suddenly kneeled down, tightly grasping Feng Qianyue's hand. Her eyes reddened as she implored bitterly, "Fourth Brother, please, please let me go. Just pretend you didn't see me. Let me go, I beg you."
Feng Qianyue looked at the pitiful child kneeling on the ground, then shook his head and sighed. "Eleven, you've already died once. It wasn't easy for you to escape, how can you still be so innocent?"
Feng Lingyue stared blankly for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Feng Qianyue's overly indifferent face. She immediately understood and said in a trembling voice, "Moli Niang said that someone wanted to force me to reveal myself. So this person was you, Fourth Brother."
Feng Qianyue nodded and said, "You guessed right. The person who forced you to reveal yourself was me, because I wanted to use you to force Lian Rue."
"You …" Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and her face revealed a trace of a pleasantly surprised smile. She loudly shouted towards the back of Feng Qianyue, "Lian Ruyue, you're here! Quickly, quickly come and save me!"
Feng Qianyue stared blankly for a moment, then subconsciously turned his head back. Taking advantage of this time, Feng Lingyue clenched her teeth, pushed Feng Qianyue with all her might, and jumped into the river!
Feng Qianyue suddenly turned around and flew forward, "Eleven!"
With a splash, he fell into the river. The river was very deep and her entire body sunk rapidly downwards, Feng Qianyue stood on the shore and could see that the river very quickly ran out of splashes, and in his hands, there was an embroidered shoe. He had grabbed it while he was anxiously grabbing onto Feng Lingyue just now, so he gripped it tightly, and viciously smashed it into the tree.
"Your Highness!" Ying Kong and the other soldiers rushed over!
Feng Qianyue turned around, and saw that the group of horses had already closed in, a cold look appeared in his eyes as he said, "Evacuate quickly, wait for them to leave, then you will fall down the river and search for people. Eleven girls, no matter how good they are at swimming, they will not swim for long, and they will eventually reach the shore. If she doesn't come ashore and dies in the river, then I will take her corpse and show Lian Meng Yue and see what she has to say!"
As Feng Qianyue spoke, he tightly gripped his embroidered shoes and angrily turned around to leave. The rest of them also quickly concealed themselves in the darkness of the night.
Not long later, another group of people arrived.
The person in front was Leng Mei, Lian Yue sat on her horse, the rest behind her were the other hidden guards, and there was even a horse carrying the heavily injured Mo Liniang.
Leng Mei hurriedly dismounted from her horse. With a tense face, she ran to the river bank and looked around. There were footprints on the ground and hoof prints on the ground.
Lian Ruyue dismounted from her horse and coldly asked:
"How is it, Eyebrows?"
"Eldest Miss, Princess Eleven must have been here before."
"Cough, cough …" The severely injured Molina coughed twice and said with difficulty, "Eldest Miss, I let Princess Eleven escape and ran over here. She should have been here before."
"The other footprints and marks on the horses' hooves should belong to His Highness' men." Leng Mei made her judgement.
Lian Ruyue's deep gaze looked at the river in front of her as she said, "Feng Qianyue, we're still a step too late!" She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.
"Eldest Miss, was she kidnapped by the Fourth Prince!?" A look of guilt flashed across Mo Liniang's eyes as she said, "It's all my fault. I didn't protect the princess well!"
"Feng Qianyue had planned this long ago. First, he was sick, then he suddenly attacked. This is none of your business!" Lian Ruyue squatted on the ground as she spoke and searched for a while.
"Miss, did you find anything?"
"Eyebrows, lead the way and go down the river to look for her. The princess is very clever, she might not have been captured by the Fourth Prince." Lian Ruyue said calmly.
"Yes!" Young Miss's words are reasonable. " Leng Mei immediately led a group of people and, according to Lian Ruyue's wealth, prepared to go down the river to find someone.
