Riding the Pheonix Chapter 809: Search
Ning Xiu led the way, and Ah Xuan led the people in pursuit.
When he finally saw the carriage in his sight, Ah Xuan waved his hand and ordered: "Enter!"
"Yes!" The imperial guards took action one after another.
The man who is good at concealed weapons raised his arm and threw out a handful of caltrops.
"Huh..." The horse screamed, and the unbalanced carriage was thrown out due to inertia and hit the low **** on the roadside.
The moment the car crashed, two figures jumped out from the broken car door, turned into afterimages, and flew away quickly.
The guards were well-trained and immediately separated their troops and gave chase.
A Xuan led the remaining men and carefully surrounded them.
When he opened the door, the car was empty, with nothing in it.
A Xuan was stunned and shouted: "Sir!"
Ning Xiu jumped on the crooked carriage, took out the magic talisman, probed for the remaining breath in the carriage, and pulled out a set of clothes.
"They fell into the trap, they deliberately led us to chase them."
A Xuan's face was ugly and he clenched his teeth tightly: "Miss Ming..."
"Look back and find it again!"
A Xuan took a deep breath and ordered his subordinates: "If you can't catch anyone alive, kill them!"
"Yes!"
He got back on his horse angrily and drove back with his men.
Ning Xiu watched carefully along the way. When he passed an intersection on the outskirts of the city, he called out to Ah Xuan: "It's a little strange here."
He turned over and dismounted, took a few steps to light a talisman, and finally stopped in the grass on the side of the road.
The first month has not yet warmed up, and the bushes are withered. Ning Xiu used the cinnabar he brought with him to draw a simple formation, and then Pian gave instructions.
After a while, a slender white shadow slowly emerged from the dead branches.
"Drink!" Ah Xuan saw clearly the appearance of the little white snake for the first time.
This snake is very small, and its whole body is white. It looks strange at first glance, and it is extremely beautiful.
"Why are you here? Where are your adults?"
Ning Xiu has an aura similar to Mingwei's, which makes Little White Snake feel friendly. It stretched out the letter and licked Ning Xiu's finger.
"My lord has been captured, I can't follow you." Little White Snake reported aggrievedly, "They are very powerful, they almost found me..."
It roughly stated what it knew.
After Ning Xiu heard this, he reached out and let it crawl into his palm: "I know, let's go find it together."
As soon as Ah Xuan was about to ask, a guard came galloping over there, rolled off his saddle, and whispered a few words into his ear.
A Xuan got the news and called Ning Xiu: "Sir, let's go to a place first."
They followed the guards to the Xuandu Temple not far away.
Seeing the uniform of a national master, Ning Xiu was still wondering, since Xuan Fei came to help, why didn't he just come over? Do you like to put on airs so much?
When the man turned around, Ning Xiu said: "..."
"Your Majesty!" Ah Xuan was angry and anxious, "Miss Ming has disappeared, why did you run out too? What if something happens again?"
Yang Shu pointed to the Taoist priest Xicheng who was accompanying him and said: "There are so many masters in Xuandu Temple. If something happens to me, what use will you do?"
"..." Ah Xuan was speechless.
But this is true. Xuandu Temple can be said to be the safest place besides the palace. If the enemy is a Xuanshi, it is even safer than the palace.
"Okay, don't waste time, hurry up and tell us what's going on now."
A Xuan sighed in his heart, knowing that he could not leave Mingwei, and asking him to sit in the palace was really embarrassing, so he stopped talking nonsense and told the story.
"...That's probably it."
After hearing this, Yang Shu slapped the case and said angrily: "Tang Shao! He is so courageous. He is really not afraid of death!"
Ning Xiu said: "They kidnapped Mingwei and used her breath to lure us away. According to Xiaobai, they should have found another place to hide."
Yang Shu nodded: "You discovered it very quickly, and the checkpoints in Yunjing are currently under strict control. He should not have left, but is hiding somewhere nearby."
The conclusion has been drawn, but how to search is a big problem.
It's okay to say that Yunjing City is a bigger place in the suburbs, and it's a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. It's not easy to find a specific person.
However, no matter how difficult it is, you still have to find it!
……
The procession to welcome the bride, surrounded by Feng Yu, marched through the long street and entered the palace gate.
Having seen enough of the lively people in Yunjing, they were still discussing what they had just seen and heard.
The conditions for the emperor's wedding were very harsh. The emperor who succeeded to the throne must have never married a wife before he could have a wedding ceremony. The royal family married early, and generally the emperors who were able to get married succeeded to the throne at a young age.
This person today is completely a special case.
All in all, I don’t know if I can see it again in my lifetime.
However, before the people had enough discussion, the next news came out.
In the Queen's betrothal gift, the jade Ruyi given by the Queen Mother was missing.
This jade Ruyi is the Queen Mother's favorite thing. It was put into the betrothal gift by hand, which represents the blessing for the Queen Mother's marriage.
Now that it was lost, the emperor was furious and ordered the whole city to be raided.
As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar.
How could the royal betrothal gift be lost so easily? It was naturally stolen.
Who ~IndoMTL.com~ could steal the betrothal gift under such tight surveillance?
The thief! What a great thief!
As a result, storytellers in the market were busy making up stories, talking about the famous thieves in the world, and guessing which one was responsible.
The Forbidden Army was dispatched to search the entire city in the name of looking for royal betrothal gifts.
……
Jiang Wenfeng came to revive him.
"Your Majesty, the city has been searched. It is almost certain that the thief is not in the city."
Yang Shu exhaled and said: "On the outskirts of the city, if it were me, I would hide on the outskirts of the city."
The city is heavily policed and can be easily detected. Compared with the suburbs, it is much more difficult.
Jiang Wenfeng replied: "I have already divided the work with General Wei to search the suburbs of the city in separate areas and not let go of any suspicious targets."
Yang Shu nodded, but saw A Xuan come in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty." He opened his hand and presented what was in his hand, "Of the two people before, one escaped and the other died. This was found on the dead one."
Yang Shu picked it up and found that it was a wooden hairpin with fine lines carved on it.
"I will demonstrate it to you."
A Xuan took the wooden hairpin, painted it with ink, took out the white paper, and rolled it several times.
Yang Shu took a closer look and saw that the pattern on the paper was a diagram of stars.
"Sure enough, it's Xingxu." He threw away his hand with a gloomy expression, "This pattern belongs to the Xuanwu Sect. It seems that the old monster has intervened."
"Your Majesty..."
Yang Shu raised his hand to stop him, thought about it seriously for a while, and said, "This is a bit strange. Why did the other party arrest people instead of killing them? What is their purpose?"
"Maybe I know the answer." Ning Xiu came in from outside, picked up the wooden hairpin, compared it with his command talisman for a while, and said, "Don't worry, I guess he will start tomorrow." I got something on Wei, so I won’t hurt her for now.”
