It was already three o'clock in the morning, but no one in the other courtyard showed up.
"What's going on? Why hasn't Princess Luoshen come out?" asked the leader of the soldiers who came to change the guard.
One of the soldiers said: "I heard from the princess last night that she wanted to rest and didn't want to be disturbed. Maybe she hasn't woken up yet?"
"Idiot! What time is it now and you are still sleeping? Go in and take a look!" the leader cursed angrily.
After cursing, he opened the door of the other courtyard with one palm and broke in with a group of soldiers.
They arrived at the door, knocked on the door, but received no response, and then kicked the door open.
A group of people went in and searched around, but didn't see a single person.
The soldiers were stunned!
"Impossible! We kept watch all night and not a single fly flew out. How could there be no one?"
The leader glanced at the soldiers with cold eyes and said, "Look for him quickly! If he is lost, we will all come to see him!"
The soldiers trembled and hurried to find it.
But they searched the whole courtyard, but they didn't see a single soul.
"Go and report to the emperor immediately, seal the city gate immediately, and get the people back, so that we can save our lives!" The leader took a deep breath and gave the order immediately without caring about anything else.
Suddenly, all the soldiers went to do it immediately.
"When we came to clean up the villa yesterday, we looked inside and out. There was nothing wrong with the villa. How did the princess escape?" The soldiers still couldn't understand.
The leader gritted his teeth and said: "She is the daughter of the chief minister. If she wants to escape, she will naturally have her own way! You were careless and made a mistake. How could you not come in all night to confirm whether the person is there? If the emperor pursues it, who of us will
You can’t even run away!”
Now, I can only pray that the person will be found soon.
The news of Jiang You's disappearance soon spread to the palace, and the emperor became so angry that he smashed several cups!
"I will turn the capital upside down, and I must find this woman!" The emperor was full of will-o'-the-wisps.
In the main hall, the leader who had received the order immediately retreated to make arrangements. There was still one Lord Si Zun of the Underworld Department left in the hall.
Si Zun saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, calm down! This woman is cunning, but the imperial guards guarding her were too careless this time."
The emperor's face was still ugly: "She promised me that she would think about it for two days, but she ran away like this! Is she really not afraid that I don't care about Su Yan's life or death? Now that the imperial edict is attacking Suizhou and Muzhou at the same time, even if Su Yan has
Even with three heads and six arms, I'm afraid I can't protect two cities at the same time! It seems that this girl doesn't really mean it when she says she likes Su Yan."
Si Zun persuaded patiently: "Your Majesty, as things have come to this, let her go! If Su Yan cannot save the two cities, it will not be too late to punish him when the time comes. As for this woman... Your Majesty, there is no need to be too impatient.
, as long as her father is still serving the dynasty, she will not be able to escape."
The emperor let out a filthy breath: "Both these father and daughter don't give me any peace of mind! Aren't I not tolerant enough towards them? I have appointed Luo Jibei as my chief minister. Over the years, what has he said and what have I believed! I am so sincere.
, but he still refuses to stay in Tianji, so I can only find a way to keep his daughter, but I can’t really do nothing, right?”
Si Zun hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, you mentioned before that this Lord Shou Fu is a descendant of the Dragon Clan, but he still refuses to tell you... Where is the Dragon Vein? As long as we guard the Dragon Vein, unifying the continent is not something that is just around the corner.
?”
The emperor shook his head and said: "He said that everything has its own destiny. If I ask, it will be in vain. Forget it, I don't expect him to tell the truth to me. I just need to ensure that he will not serve other countries.
That’s enough. I can see his ability. He is indeed too strong. If we can’t be friends, we definitely can’t be enemies.”
Si Zun said no more.
The emperor frowned again and said: "Sir, go and check. Jiang You is close to Sang Rou and others. See if there is any connection between them. If Jiang You's escape has something to do with them, then I will never do it.
Be gentle."
"Yes!" Si Zun took the order.
"If Jiang You wants to leave the city, he must go to the northwest. Immediately send an order to impose martial law in the northwest. Jiang You must not be allowed to escape to the northwest." After the emperor finished speaking, he paused for a moment and said, "That's not entirely true.
There is also a card set up in the Northeast, and she may not only go to Su Yan, but also her father."
Si Zun nodded: "The war in the northwest is tense. She, a woman, may not go to the northwest. After all, it is too dangerous. It is possible to go to the northeast. At this time, she will definitely want to see the chief minister so that he can help him.
She supports her. If father and daughter really meet, they might never come back together, but it's not impossible."
What Si Zun said really worried the emperor.
The emperor paused and said: "There is no need to impose too much martial law in the northwest. If more troops are sent to the northeast, Jiang You must be stopped."
"yes!"
Si Zun said, immediately retreated and started making arrangements.
The entire capital was soon completely tightened, and the city gates were tightly closed. Anyone who wanted to leave the city would not be allowed to leave without complete procedures.
Soon, a group of people who wanted to leave the city but were not allowed to leave were gathered at the city gates.
It's like this in the city, and it's not much better outside the city.
Especially in the northwest and northeast, the martial law is stricter than ever before.
Murong Xiu and Xun Zheng were also investigating in the city, just to find Jiang You. Murong Xiu also didn't expect that Jiang You could run away so easily.
"Can you take someone to check out Luming Villa?" Murong Xiu asked Xun Zheng.
Xun Zheng nodded: "I checked it and there are no flaws."
"Then why do you think...she ran away?" Murong Xiu laughed.
He didn't believe that two living people just disappeared like this. It was simply ridiculous!
Xun Zheng frowned and said: "Your Highness, I don't know much about the art of mechanism, but I think... the reason why Princess Luoshen was able to escape without a trace is probably because there is some mystery in that courtyard."
"Didn't you say... that no flaw was found?" Murong Xiu asked doubtfully.
"The fact that no flaw is found does not mean that there is really no flaw." Xun Zheng said, "Your Highness, Xun Zheng is not good at studying and does not know much about this area. But if we find someone who understands the mechanism to investigate, maybe
There can be discoveries. But... there is no point in pursuing this now, the person has already run away."
As Xun Zheng was talking, he saw Meng Huayin holding a basket and talking to the soldiers guarding the city near the city gate in front of him. It looked like he was about to leave the city.
"Your Highness, I'll go over there and take a look." Xun Zheng said to Murong Xiu and then headed towards where Meng Huayin was.
