Xuanyuan Zhan brought Feng Yu to the place where he had investigated Dou Dou's location. In this extremely remote path, there were tall trees on both sides, and it was obvious that no one would normally appear here. There were a few footprints on the ground, but they were all half-side, and it extended all the way to the thickest tree before disappearing.
Feng Yu walked past those footprints carefully, wanting to see if she missed anything. Xuanyuan Zhan and Shangguan Yi watched her from the side, their faces filled with worry.
"Hey, is Little Yu Er alright? Something doesn't seem right. "
Shangguan Qing asked in a low voice. Because that time, when they had gotten closer, she liked to call Feng Yu Little Yu Er "Yu Er".
"I don't know. It's hard to say." Shangguan Yi's face revealed a gentle and refined smile, he still looked like a weak and harmless scholar, who would have thought that his methods were so powerful.
How could I not tell? It's very easy to tell, but if something happened to my child, he must have gone mad, and he must have searched everywhere for it. I can only ask anyone, if Little Yu Er is so calm, it can't be that she has lost her mind due to fear.
With regards to his unreliable mouth, Shangguan Yi's face revealed a trace of helplessness. He glanced at Xuanyuan Zhan, who was beside him.
"Battle Princess isn't you, her personality isn't that good … "Impatient." Both Feng Yu from the past and Feng Yu now were a little confused. It was just that the current her was obviously very calm and normal. The focus in her eyes was something that no ordinary person would have.
"She's fine. She's just looking for clues." When Xuanyuan Zhan finally spoke, his eyes did not shift away from Feng Yu's body. "She's looking for the symbol Dou Dou left for her."
Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Qing's eyes opened wide in shock. Although they knew that Dou Dou was very smart, they did not believe that he would have the chance to leave anything behind.
Shangguan Qing covered his mouth with his hand and gently leaned on Shangguan Yi's ear. "Brother, I can tell that Prince Zhan has lost his mind, where does this confidence come from? Even I don't dare to guarantee that I can leave a simple and understandable mark in this situation, so Dou Dou is even less …"
"It's possible!" Feng Yu let out a surprised cry of surprise before she could spit out the word. She waved her hand towards the three of them, her eyes shining brightly.
"I found it, I found the mark that Dou Dou left behind, it is here." Feng Yu pointed at the thickest tree, and said that there was something hidden in the mottled black patterns on the trunk.
Xuanyuan Zhan, Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Qing immediately walked over. The three of them looked at the direction where her finger was pointed in detail, and it seemed like there was something smeared on the ground there. But no matter how they looked at it, it looked like it was a smudge made by one of his three fingers.
Shangguan Qing and Shangguan Yi also revealed a puzzled look. However, Xuanyuan Zhan still asked him in a probing tone, "What is this, the signal that Yu Er and Yu Er agreed to use?"
"Right." Feng Yu immediately admitted, "This was one of the things I taught him... The self-created characters are composed of twenty-six different kinds of symbols, and they represent different kinds of meanings. Some words can be directly used with the first symbol, for example, this symbol represents the western side of the text. "
Feng Yu was actually speaking English. She taught Dou Dou when she had nothing to do and smeared the word "W" on the tree trunk using ink, meaning "West".
Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes lit up, "Yu Er, you can be sure!" He had a lot of trust in Feng Yu, so he asked her with certainty.
Her beautiful face was filled with a convincing glow. Although Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Qing were still suspicious, they had carefully observed and thought about it. At the same time, they had discovered other traces.
"That person did indeed jump up the big tree to escape after discovering me and my brother. Look, there are still less than half a footprint here." Shangguan Qing gently leaped up the tree and looked around carefully on the sturdy branches: "There is also a footprint here, the tip of the foot pointing towards the west."
When Feng Yu heard her words, she became even more confident. Shangguan Yi actually looked at her a few times, and Xuanyuan Zhan immediately had Lightning and Lei Yu to search towards the west with their people. He jumped onto his horse with Feng Yu in his arms and followed the two Shangguan siblings.
Seated in front of Xuanyuan Zhan, Feng Yu could feel the bumpy ride below her, and more importantly, felt Xuanyuan Zhan's body temperature. She turned her body around a little uncomfortably, and looked at Xuanyuan Zhan's injured arm, which was faintly leaking blood.
That's right, he had always been busy with Dou Dou's matters. Other than letting Xue Leng apply the medicine once, he did not continue to meddle with the wound.
Feeling some uneasiness in his heart, Feng Yu's fingers gently caressed the blood trail that had been opened. The tip of his brows slightly creased.
Feeling her movements, Xuanyuan Zhan's heart moved. He thought that he finally got her active attention and wanted to maintain this silent warmth, but he still couldn't help but start to tease her.
"Is Yu Er worrying about this king?"
Feng Yu's fingertip trembled, and she immediately retracted her finger as if she had been electrocuted.
"No!" "Stop putting gold on your face."
Feng Yu quickly retorted. She had said the same thing to Xuanyuan Zhan in the past, but now that she had said it, there was no longer the imposing manner she had before.
"Oh? "Is that so?"
Feng Yu felt that being caught red-handed was simply too stupid. She immediately snorted heavily, straightened her back, and ignored; she didn't see the slightest hint of a satisfied smile on Xuanyuan Zhan's face.
The group of people quickly went west, arriving at a mansion hidden in the forest. This place was similar to the one Feng Yu and Dou Dou lived in, but the mansion was not as big as the one Murong Zhi had prepared.
Lightning and Thunder Rain had already searched through the area with their men a long time ago. They came out and reported to Xuanyuan Zhan, Feng Yu and the others.
"Someone stayed here for a short period of time, but they left very quickly without leaving any traces behind."
She had to personally go and see if Dou Dou would leave anything behind before she could be sure that he would not leave her behind.
Xuanyuan Zhan dismounted, then extended his ape arms and carried her down by his waist. Carrying his skirt, Feng Yu immediately rushed into the house and searched the area behind the walls and doors, finally finding the signal Dou Dou left behind under the wall beside one of the rooms.
This was a "N" carved out from a fingernail. Feng Yu's eyes lit up again as she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to find it. She immediately said to them, "They are heading towards the north."
The group continued their journey north and found a farmhouse as well.
Lightning, who had already done the searching, looked disappointed and disappointed as they quickly flew in again.
"Not long after that group of people left, this subordinate is certain that Young Prince has come here, Lei Yu and his men have already gone to chase them."
When Lightning handed over a shoe to Feng Yu, she immediately recognized it as Dou Dou's. She had personally helped him put it on that day.
He anxiously rushed in to search for clues around Dou Dou, but this time, Feng Yu did not find anything.
Feng Yu was stunned, and looked around once more as if she couldn't believe it. However, she was still unable to find anything, as though she was filled with despair, and was unwilling to give up, wanting to look for her again. Finally, Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't hold back the heat, and pulled her into his embrace.
"Let go!" "Let go of me, I'm still going to look for the bed, I still need to carefully look for it again, I must have missed something just now, Dou Dou risked marking it twice, that group of people might already be suspicious, so this time Dou Dou must have chosen an even more secretive place to place his mark on, I definitely did not discover that place!"
Feng Yu's tone carried a hint of mournfulness, causing everyone present to look away.
At this moment, Lei Yu ran over. From the expression on his face, it was obvious that he didn't manage to catch up.
"This subordinate deserves to die, please punish me, your highness!"
Lightning and Thunder Rain knelt down, but this sentence seemed to have activated some sort of button. Feng Yu's body trembled and stopped struggling.
"No, no, I must have missed something."
Feng Yu sobbed in his arms. At this moment, she could fully understand the feeling of her children being taken away by the traffickers. The pain of having a piece of her heart forcefully dug out, the emptiness, and the grief that couldn't be filled, was eating away at her.
There was nothing more heartbreaking than your mother's wailing. Everyone looked like they couldn't bear it anymore as Shangguan Qing looked like they were about to cry together.
"Yu Er, don't worry, I'm still here." Xuanyuan Zhan lightly patted her back as he suppressed the unbearable emotions in his heart. Now that he had to be strong, Feng Yu and Dou Dou would need to rely on him.
"How can I not be worried!" Feng Yu's tone of voice changed as Xuanyuan Zhan continued to patiently pacify him. At the same time, he rapidly pondered on what he should do next.
Even if Xuanyuan Qingtian's people could not bring Dou Dou away from this place, it did not mean that Xuanyuan Qingtian did not have any other secret residences. The uses that Murong Zhi could play would not be very obvious, unless those people made a mistake and accidentally walked towards the place where the Hongfei Pavilion was monitoring them.
Xuanyuan Zhan would never wait for others to make a mistake, he would always take the initiative to attack.
"Yu Er, didn't matriarch come to see Dou Dou before? Has the matriarch ever said anything special to Dou Dou? "
Feng Yu shook her head. Xuanyuan Zhan pulled her out of his embrace and said very seriously: "Yu Er, look at me. Think about it carefully.
Feng Yu's expression became firm once more. She wiped her tears away and thought hard about it.
"But, the Empress really didn't say anything very special. She just asked me how Dou Dou and I were doing, tested me out a bit, and then saw Dou Dou." Feng Yu said, "When the Ning Fei's Empress saw Dou Dou, she was very happy. She looked around, and even hung a safety lock on his body."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhan's initially disappointed face revealed a surprised expression, his eyes narrowing deeply.
"You said that matriarch gave Dou Dou a safe lock?"
Feng Yu nodded, and then saw that Xuanyuan Zhan smiled.
Dou Dou will be the first child of the imperial family, so the matriarch might have some problem letting someone put three Southern Ocean Fragrant Beans in the lock. This type of bean will give off a miraculous fragrance, ordinary people cannot smell it, and only the birds will be able to smell this fragrance, and this kind of bird This King has raised a pair in the Battle King Manor!
