Shen Rui's face looked a little ugly, and he turned around and walked towards his tent.
Xiao Youan grabbed his arm: "Shen Rui, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Rui broke away from his hand and said, "I'm a little tired. Let's go back and rest first."
After leaving these words, he turned around and walked away.
Xiao Youan frowned and looked at Shen Rui's leaving figure. He had known him for three years and felt like brothers. He had never seen Shen Rui look so haunted. He obviously had something on his mind.
What happened?
Xiao Youan felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with Shen Rui after he had rested.
...
The setting sun returns to the west.
Yuzhou City sealed off the city gates for a day and searched door to door, but still could not find Miao'er's whereabouts.
At the same time, a homing pigeon landed at the General's Mansion in the capital.
Mu Rufeng was accompanying her son when she heard Brother Sheng pointing at the window and saying: "Pigeon."
He looked back at the homing pigeon that landed on the window, feeling a little curious.
Mu Rufeng stood up, took off the letter tied to the carrier pigeon's leg, unfolded it and looked at it. His expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said to the people outside: "Quickly, go into the palace and call the regent."
After half a stick of incense, Xiao Chengyi rode back from the palace. He hurried to the flower hall and saw his father-in-law walking non-stop.
He walked over and called: "Dad."
Mu Rufeng turned around and said with a hint of urgency in her voice: "Yi'er, Sister Miao'er is missing."
Xiao Chengyi was stunned for a moment: "Sister Miao, is this my aunt's daughter Shen Miao? Why is she missing?"
Mu Rufeng handed him the letter in her hand: "King Qi wrote you a letter, saying that he was escorting Xue Chu and her children back to the capital.
When passing through Yuzhou City, I stayed at Mu Mansion, but when Xuechu went out for a while, Sister Miao disappeared.
King Qi immediately sealed the city gates and searched from house to house, but we still don’t know what the situation is.”
After Xiao Chengyi read the letter written by King Qi, he frowned and felt that the matter was very strange. Sister Miao disappeared from the Mu family in Yuzhou City.
Who is so bold as to break into Mu's house at night to kidnap someone?
However, the capital is at least three days' journey from Yuzhou City, so it may be too late to rush there.
"Yier, what should we do?"
Mu Rufeng was in a state of confusion. His sister had suffered too much and had finally settled down. Who would have thought that something like this would happen?
Xiao Chengyi said: "Dad, don't worry, Yuzhou City is too far away from the capital. Even if we rush there, we will probably miss the best time."
He thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea: "I do know someone who might be able to help me."
He said to Mu Rufeng: "Dad, I'm going to deliver the message first. Don't worry, Sister Miao and Jiren will be fine."
Mu Rufeng nodded: "Sister Miao, I'll leave it to you."
Xiao Chengyi nodded, turned around and left the flower hall, first wrote a letter and had Fei Ying deliver it, and then returned to the palace to summon Xuan Du and others to discuss the matter.
Everyone was very surprised to learn that Sister Miao was missing.
Yan Jingxuan said: "Could it be that the child is hiding somewhere and has not been found?"
Xiao Chengyi said in a deep voice: "With how cautious King Qi is, he must have searched the whole house. I think Sister Miao was probably taken away by someone."
As he said that, he looked at Xuandu and said, "Why don't you do the calculation?"
Xuan Du nodded and took some copper coins to calculate. Everyone watched his movements and held their breath.
