Yu Shuyue knew that Liu Ruoxi would not leave without waiting for her. Now, it could only be because of an accident.
Huayan Temple only had so much space, and she and Shaoyao had just asked the master in the temple to search inside and outside, but there was still no sign of her.
Then there is only one explanation, she is no longer in Huayan Temple at this moment.
But she was not in the temple, and it was impossible for her to leave Yu Shuyue and go down the mountain first, so there was only one explanation for the situation at this moment.
Something happened to her and she was forced to be taken away from Huayan Temple.
Yu Shuyue only took Shaoyao and one maid with her when she went out today, not to mention that she still didn't know where to find Liu Ruoxi.
She had to ask the masters at Huayan Temple to help her pay attention to see if it was still in the temple, but she just missed it.
And she herself took the peony down the mountain, firstly to see if the coachman guarding the mountain had seen it, and secondly so that the coachman at the foot of the mountain could help search for it.
It is said that going up the mountain is difficult and going down is easy, but going down the Qianyun Ladder of Huayan Temple is not easy at all.
Concerned about Liu Ruoxi in her heart, Yu Shuyue couldn't wait to go down the stairs step by step with Shaoyao, and directly performed Qinggong.
But Shaoyao has no martial arts, so he can only be one step behind her.
Half an hour later, Yu Shuyue had arrived at the foot of the mountain.
"Miss, why did you come down alone?"
The carriage driver saw the fine beads of sweat on Yu Shuyue's head, her face was crimson and her expression was serious, and he hurried forward to greet her.
"Have you ever seen your girl come down?"
Yu Shuyue waved her hand to her coachman and looked at the coachman from Liu Mansion.
"Back to Miss Yu, no, didn't I go up the mountain with you to pray for blessings? My eyes have been fixed on the intersection going down the mountain, and I have never seen my young lady going down the mountain, but what happened?"
When the Liu family's carriage driver saw Yu Shuyue's expression and saw that there was no trace of his own lady behind her, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Have you never seen Ruoxi?" Yu Shuyue frowned.
She searched inside and outside Huayan Temple, but there was no sign of Liu Ruoxi at the foot of the mountain. Where would she go?
There are many pilgrims in Huayan Temple today, and people come and go. If someone attacks Liu Ruoxi and her personal maid in the front hall, they will definitely be seen.
But just now she also asked some pilgrims and found that there was no abnormality in Huayan Temple.
"Miss Yu, are you looking for the young lady who was traveling with you just now?"
Just when Yu Shuyue was puzzled and ordered her coachman to rush back to the capital to deliver a message to her brother, a beautiful woman came next to her.
"Yes, Madam, have you seen Ruoxi?"
She had been looking for it for so long and asked countless people, and now someone finally took the initiative to mention it. Yu Shuyue's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked expectantly at the particularly elegant and beautiful woman in front of her.
"Just now I was burning incense in the front hall, and I happened to see a maid in a green dress coming to say a few words to the lady who was traveling with you, and then the lady took her personal maid and left with her."
The beautiful woman had seen Yu Shuyue and Liu Ruoxi together before. After praying, she went down the mountain to return to Beijing.
Before she returned to the carriage, she saw Yu Shuyue running down the mountain in a hurry, sweating profusely. He saw that she was alone and saw the panicked expression of the coachman.
She guessed a little bit, and remembered the scene she happened to see in the palace just now. She thought it would be helpful to her, so she came to tell her.
"Did Madam see where they went?"
Unexpectedly, this lady had actually met Ruoxi, Yu Shuyue asked anxiously.
"I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but looking in that direction, it should be heading towards the back mountain."
"Thank you ma'am."
Regardless of the credibility, it was very important information for Yu Shuyue, who was currently clueless. She thanked the beautiful woman sincerely, and then led the Liu family's coachman to Qianyun Staircase again.
And go.
There was still a short distance for Shaoyao to reach the foot of the mountain. Before she could greet the lady happily, she continued to climb the Qianyun Ladder with her lady in the next second.
Back and forth, even if Yu Shuyue was lazy with Qinggong, she was still panting heavily from exhaustion. After finally reaching the back of the mountain, except for the red, white, and yellow mountain flowers of various colors blooming all over the mountains and fields, there was no other sight at all.
No one was seen.
"Ruoxi, Ruoxi——"
"Miss, Miss, where are you -"
"Miss, could it be that the lady just now saw it wrong?"
On the way here, Shaoyao already knew what happened to the young lady at the foot of the mountain, but there was no sign of anyone in the back mountain except for the occasional bird call.
"No, look again."
Yu Shuyue was originally wondering if the lady had seen it wrong, but when she saw that the weeds beside the path had obviously been stepped on, she overturned her previous thoughts.
She knelt down and carefully looked at the situation on both sides of the path. The weeds had been trampled, leaving traces of footsteps. The trampled weeds had not yet raised their heads again. It seemed that they had been trampled not long ago.
When they came to the back mountain, they didn't meet anyone coming down the mountain. Now they don't see a single person in the back mountain. So there is only one possibility, that is, people are still in the back mountain.
The footsteps were broken and messy, and it seemed that they could not be left behind by people enjoying the flowers. Thinking of her friends who were still missing, Yu Shuyue's bad premonition became stronger.
With a cold face, she said in a tight tone to Shaoyao and Liu's coachmen on the side: "Follow this trace and try not to make any noise on the way, so as not to alert others."
"Miss Yu, you mean that the lady was..."
"Okay, try not to make any noise, and quickly follow the traces to find it."
Liu Ruoxi had only returned to Beijing for more than ten days, and Yu Shuyue couldn't understand why something like this happened in Huayan Temple.
But according to what the lady said, she was lured away by a person dressed as a maid, so she probably wouldn't meet a very vicious person.
Yu Shuyue's heart was always high and the three of them followed the footprints for about a stick of incense before finally hearing vague voices.
There is a hidden cave in the mountain behind Huayan Temple. The cave entrance is overgrown with weeds and trees, but the entrance is clean and the surroundings are smooth. It does not look like a naturally formed cave.
At this moment, there were about ten people standing in the cave and half lying on the cave wall. Among them were Liu Ruoxi and her personal maid.
Their hands were tightly tied with ropes, and they were sitting on the ground leaning against the rocks in the cave. There were still some scratches on their faces.
"Miss Bai, you'd better not let me go, otherwise I will repay you double the debt today."
It had been more than an hour since Liu Ruoxi was kidnapped. At first, she didn't know who she had offended, so she was kidnapped here directly.
After seeing it was Bai Yu, she felt confused for a moment, and then she was speechless for a while after realizing it.
Could this person be holding a grudge and waiting for revenge just because he was scolded by me at Yuzhaixuan a few days ago? This chapter has been completed!
