The attendants and others searched left and right, but there was no trace of the young prince.
When they were devastated, an anonymous letter was shot into the house by a long arrow.
One of the attendants took off the long arrow and opened the letter.
There is only a few words on the rough letter paper——
"The prince was kidnapped by us and we want to redeem him, so let King Pengcheng come to negotiate in person."
After reading that line, the faces of several attendants suddenly turned pale.
It’s over, the young prince has been kidnapped!
The young prince is the only child of King Pengcheng. He usually holds it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and holds it in his mouth for fear of melting, so he is reluctant to beat him. But now he has been kidnapped by bandits. When he comes back to find the prince, he has to pick it up.
They have only one skin.
No, if the prince cannot be found, they will be killed by the Yi tribe.
In this era, the lives of common people are like ants, being slaughtered by aristocratic families and royal families——
Thinking of the consequences, cold sweat broke out on their backs. Without hesitation, they immediately wrote a letter and rushed to Pengcheng.
At this time, King Pengcheng had already received the news that his son had been kidnapped.
He quickly summoned his soldiers and led them towards Youzhou with a livid face.
His grandma is so stupid that even the children of the Sima clan dare to kidnap her. She is so tired of living!
When his son is brought back, none of those careless attendants and those kidnapped bastards will have an easy time!
…
"You said that Prince Pengcheng was kidnapped?" Xie Yuan put down the tea cup and heard Huo Qubing and several retainers gossiping.
"Yes, my lord, there has been a lot of noise in the city these days - those guards want to turn Youzhou upside down and find this person." Huo Qubing thought of something and laughed very unkindly,
"Now our academy is the only one left that hasn't been searched. They won't come and search it too."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bookboy ran in in a panic and shouted——
"No, sir, a group of officers and soldiers came outside, clamoring to search the academy for the young prince of Pengcheng King!"
After the words fell, everyone turned their attention to Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing: "..."
Let's just say, he didn't expect that his mouth would open up.
Xie Yuan stood up calmly: "Let them open the search."
It’s not like he captured the person anyway.
Not long after, the officers and soldiers arrived in a fierce manner. The leader looked very familiar. If he took a closer look, he could not be the same attendants who had followed Prince Pengcheng to the mountain three times before.
When they saw Xie Yuan, the attendants didn't show any good looks, and they all said sadly: "Your Highness must be here, search for me."
"As the saying goes, there is no basis for what you say. This official must not wrong the common people." Xie Yuan bowed.
"The person Your Highness saw the most in the past few days was Xie Yuan. He invited you over and over again, but you didn't want to come out. Your Highness left angrily. You must have tied him up because you were afraid that he would find someone to murder you.
!" The attendant stared at Xie Yuan and said angrily through gritted teeth.
After everyone heard this, they all looked shocked.
I'm shocked how someone could be so serious about talking nonsense.
Qi Yan's eyebrows twitched and he was about to speak when Xie Yuan secretly reached out and tugged on his sleeves.
"But if the common people really kidnap the prince, then not only the common people themselves will die, but also the entire academy will be implicated. The ordinary people are dedicated to protecting the academy. If they do such a thing, wouldn't they destroy their efforts?" Xie Yuanli straightened his sleeves and said.
Dan Fengqing opened his mouth to defend himself.
The attendant choked up.
Yes, Xie Yuan could reject the young prince again and again for the sake of the academy. How could he do such a stupid thing and implicate the academy? There is no such reason in the world.
The scene remained stagnant until the searcher came out and shook his head at the attendants.
The attendant gritted his teeth.
But where did the young prince go?
King Pengcheng is coming soon, and if he cannot find someone before he comes, he will most likely be beheaded, and his family may even be implicated.
They don't want the three tribes to be wiped out.
Watching the attendants leave in anger, Xie Yuan looked at Huo Qubing: "Buyi, where did that prince get lost?"
"It's in the dense forest ten miles west of our mountain. No wonder those people couldn't find it, so they insisted that we kidnapped him." Huo Qubing glanced at the backs of those people.
"Take me to see it." Xie Yuan thought for a moment and then asked.
"Can my lord find the crown prince?"
"Let's give it a try."
…
After a stick of incense, there is a dense forest outside the city.
Xie Yuan jumped down from the donkey, looked down at the messy footprints, observed them carefully for a moment, and unconsciously looked in the opposite direction from when they came.
"Their footprints were messy, but one of them walked very clearly, but it was covered by these. Judging from that footprint, they were walking in this direction." Xie Yuan pointed to the one he was looking at.
direction.
"My lord, you have such good eyesight." Huo Qubing was surprised.
Xie Yuan touched his nose.
It must be that the rewards given by the system were good, allowing him to practice his internal skills, so that he could have such a good insight.
"Does Xiaoyuan want to inform the government?" Qi Yan asked.
"No need, King Pengcheng will definitely go straight to the bandits when he comes to Youzhou." Xie Yuan shook his head, "We'd better not get into trouble."
The guards were looking for him anxiously, with fear and panic in their eyes. I think one reason was that their master was missing and they were anxious, and the other reason was that they were afraid of losing their lives.
These attendants all came from military households, and ordinary officials could not cure their crimes, so who could punish them and make them feel scared and frightened.
Naturally, it is their top boss, King Pengcheng.
King Pengcheng was furious after losing his son. The reason why these people were so scared must be because King Pengcheng knew about the loss of his son and was on his way here.
"Then why is my lord still looking for the whereabouts of the young prince?" Huo Qubing twitched the corner of his mouth.
"I'm just curious. Let's go back."
Qi Yan: "..."
Huo Qubing: "..."
On June 17, it rained heavily in Youzhou.
An army rushed to the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of Youzhou and surrounded them.
King Pengcheng dismounted with an umbrella in hand and stared at the mountain with a sinister look.
"Go up the mountain and search the lonely king inch by inch! My son wants to be seen when he is alive and his body is dead. If you can't find him... you all will be buried with him!" His voice was extremely cold, and every word seemed to come from
It felt like his teeth were popping out of his teeth.
The soldiers responded and were about to go up the mountain when they suddenly heard a loud laugh coming from the mountain——
"Your Majesty is here, and the humble house will be filled with splendor."
The state and county soldiers were immediately on alert.
A rustling sound came from the mountain. King Pengcheng looked up and saw a large group of people with their faces covered and wearing hats walking slowly down. The leader was carrying King Pengcheng, who had disappeared for half a month.
Crown Prince.
"My son!" King Pengcheng was anxious.
"Hey, my lord, don't be impatient for now, you and I will negotiate." The guy smiled mischievously.
"Say." King Pengcheng gritted his teeth slightly.
"Earlier, the prince occupied 23,000 acres of land in Youzhou, but now there is no one to take care of it. You might as well return it to us. If the prince does not agree, then..."
King Pengcheng: "..."
This is not a negotiation, this is just a threat.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see this meaning——
If you don’t give me the land, I will tear up the vote. This chapter has been completed!
