Xia Shang hid in the palace and enjoyed his leisure, but the outside of the palace became lively to find Xia Shang.
The news of the princess's disappearance finally spread.
The Japanese mission immediately found the Prince's Mansion, saying that the Prince had kidnapped the princess, and requested to search the Prince's Mansion.
This is obviously a fanciful thing. Where in the Prince's Mansion can the envoys of other countries search?
Although the Japanese people are used to being arrogant, in the capital of Dahua, if you want to be rude to the future prince, you still have to think carefully.
Without evidence and title, even if he knew that the princess was in the prince's house, he would not dare to mess around.
Moreover, they were only speculating and were not sure that their princess was in the prince's residence.
You have to find the boy named Xia to know all of this.
The day after the princess disappeared, the Japanese mission sent people to the palace hall and asked the court to hand over the reception minister in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
Because their people saw with their own eyes that after the reception minister met the princess, the princess disappeared.
Naturally, Xia Shang is the biggest suspect.
The court also said that the minister who received him has disappeared and the person who handed him over cannot be handed over, but he can send someone to help the Japanese people find him together.
After three days of searching, the entire capital was searched by the Japanese mission, but nothing was found.
The situation was not good for the Japanese mission, but the entire mission showed great restraint.
This is surprising. In the impression of the people of Dahua, the Japanese people never consider the consequences of doing things. Now that their princess is missing, they don't make a big fuss in the capital.
Li Xiangyang was in the attic of the mansion. He looked down at the Bamboo House hidden in the garden. Next to him sat the inseparable woman, and opposite to him stood Taoist Master Ma in Taoist robes.
I haven't seen him for a few days. Taoist Master Ma has become much more energetic after the death of Master Ghost. He is stroking his beard and puffing out his chest. Although he still looks wretched, he is full of momentum.
Under the attic, you can vaguely see a woman sitting in front of the chessboard, moving from time to time, looking extremely focused.
"Is it really hard for her to play chess with herself all day long?" Li Xiangyang asked in a low voice.
The woman beside her nodded: "This princess seems to be a chess fanatic."
"I've never heard of it before. It's good like this. It'll be good if you can stay here safely."
"Your Highness, hiding her like this is not the end. It will not be good after a long time.
.”
"I don't need you to remind me about this. I just don't know where the boy named Xia is now. The entire capital has been searched inside and outside, but there is no trace of him. It's not surprising that he can hide. I just don't know what he will do next.
What are your plans? If we rashly expose the princess’s whereabouts, I’m afraid we’ll fall into that kid’s trap.”
"If you can't find that boy no matter how much you search, Taoist Master Ma, your Heavenly Performance Technique is said to be omnipotent, but now it's time to put it to use." The woman said, looking at Taoist Master Ma beside her with a half-smile.
Taoist Master Ma did not panic and smiled: "The Thirty-six-Character Heavenly Art does not count the position but the situation. A poor Taoist can only deduce the evolution of the general situation and cannot trace it thousands of miles away."
The woman smiled, then felt bored and stopped talking.
But as soon as Taoist Master Ma finished speaking, he didn't know whether he thought of something or saw something, and the smile on his face became even wider: "The person your Highness is looking for will appear soon, there is no need to worry."
The woman didn't want to talk too much nonsense with this Taoist priest.
This Taoist priest is somewhat famous among the forces of the Prince's family, but they are all extremely disgusted with him. Like Master Ghost, most people think that he is just a swindler who has no real ability except for making mysteries.
But after he asserted the death of Master Ghost, this view changed somewhat, but it still could not alleviate the contempt of the prince's guests.
The woman felt bored when she heard Taoist Master Ma pretending to be mysterious with such vague words, so she snorted coldly: "How long did Taoist Master Ma say soon? One day? Two days? Or one month or two months?"
Taoist priest Ma smiled: "The secret must not be revealed."
"Humph!" The woman's eyes were cold and she wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Xiangyang raising her hand.
"Stop talking and look below!"
Everyone's eyes were attracted by Li Xiangyang's voice, and then the woman's eyes widened.
There is an extra person beside the chessboard outside the Zhuju below. Who is that person if it’s not Xia Shangyou?!
"Why did he come in alone?" Li Xiangyang frowned, immediately got up and went down to the attic.
The woman came to her senses and stood up, ready to follow.
Ma Daozhang looked proud and whispered beside the woman: "Mrs. Luo, what I said is never false. Is it time for you to believe it now?"
"snort!"
The woman snorted coldly and ignored him.
See the woman has left
After taking a few steps, Taoist Master Ma added: "Those who disrespect God's will will not be rewarded with good things. Mrs. Luo should not follow in the footsteps of Master Gui."
…
Xia Shang didn't notice anyone in the attic, he came directly behind Nami.
Nami was completely silent in the chess game, unaware of Xia Shang's appearance.
Seeing that Nami can focus on one thing so much, I feel relieved.
After all, she was forcefully dragged into an unfamiliar environment by him. Even if it didn't harm her, it would still be considered a bad thing to frighten her.
Xia Shang did not call her immediately, but stood behind Nami and looked at the chess game. Seeing her hesitation, he suddenly picked up a chess piece and dropped it on the chess board.
"Go here."
Only then did Nami notice that there was another person beside her. She shrunk in fright and dropped the chess piece on the snow.
But Nami soon noticed that it was Xia Shang, and her panic subsided and turned into surprise. She opened her mouth, but did not speak.
Xia Shang walked around to the opposite side of the chessboard and sat down, dragging his chin with one hand, looking very relaxed: "Princess, have you been playing chess here?"
Nami frowned: "I can't go anywhere, what else can I do except play chess? What is the situation now? What else should I do?"
Nami was very anxious. She had no news from the outside world, let alone Xia Shang's next plan. She felt very unsure. It was a rare meeting with Xia Shang, so she hurriedly asked about all the worries in her heart.
Xia Shang's expression changed: "The prince is here!"
Xia Shang saw Li Xiangyang and the others. After reminding them, Nami turned around and quickly stood up.
Xia Shang also stood up and smiled at Li Xiangyang.
With the wind at his feet, Li Xiangyang reached the chessboard in three or two steps and stared at Xia Shang: "How did you get in?"
"His Highness's people seem to be very focused on guarding against the Japanese, but not much on guarding against me, a native Chinese. It's not difficult to get in."
Li Xiangyang frowned tightly. He didn't expect that he would sneak into the Prince's Mansion, which even the Japanese could not penetrate, silently.
This made Li Xiangyang a little angry. He turned back and glanced at the woman. She lowered her head and did not dare to say anything.
"Okay, let's get down to business. It's almost time for the princess to disappear. We need a legitimate reason to make the princess's situation public, lest those Japanese people jump over the wall in a hurry."
