The face revealed under the hood was not Jiang Tangli.

Yan Ruyu looked around.

Qi Dongqiang was surprised: "Where is Tangli?"

Princess Mingzhao frowned: "Who is this person?"

no one knows.

Yan Ruyu's heart tightened. Putting everything else aside, the key thing now was to know the whereabouts of Jiang Tangli.

Huo Changhe soothed them, "Don't worry, you guys go out first, I'll take a look around."

Yan Ruyu didn't say anything. This was all she could do now.

The three men retreated out of the woods, and two shadows came towards them. They were the people arranged by Yinding.

As soon as they saw Yan Ruyu, they apologized: "Princess, I failed in my duty!"

"I was originally looking at Miss Jiang, but then someone pushed me away. I felt dazed and a little dizzy, so..."

The people arranged by Yinding are all very skilled, and anyone who can stop them must have extraordinary means.

Yan Ruyu looked into the distance and asked, "Did you find anything unusual?"

"Princess, we were about to enter the forest when we heard a strange noise over there. We went left and right, so we split up."

"We found a set of footprints, which we have traced. In addition, we also found a leaf."

Being able to find so many clues and keep them in hand in such a short time shows that the two of them put a lot of effort into it.

Yan Ruyu did not blame her any more: "Get up."

He took the things the two people handed over, a set of footprint rubbings and a broken leaf.

Princess Mingzhao looked at the leaf and said, "This leaf is different from the ones here. It must have been brought by someone else."

Yan Ruyu pinched the leaf, turning it over and over again, her face becoming increasingly gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Qi Dongqiang asked.

"I've seen this leaf before," Yan Ruyu said, feeling increasingly heavy-hearted. "Back then, Jiang Ruhuan's husband Shen Wenqi secretly manipulated the strange corpse and used the leaf to blow out a special tone."

Princess Ming Zhao and Qi Dongqiang's expressions changed at the same time: "Are they the same kind of leaves?"

Their hearts were pounding. If Jiang Tangli was taken away by that weirdo...

They didn't dare to think further.

Yan Ruyu didn't want this result, but she had to face it.

At this time, Huo Changhe came out of the woods.

"My Lord, have you found anything?"

"There is a set of footprints in the east," Huo Changhe opened his hand, and there was a brown round particle in the palm of his hand. "I found this in the dead grass."

Yan Ruyu picked it up and looked at it, her eyes narrowed slightly: "These are chocolate beans, I gave them to Tangli."

Huo Changhe nodded. He recognized this thing and had eaten it before.

Qi Dongqiang gripped the knife handle tightly: "It seems that Ah Li was captured here."

Princess Mingzhao suppressed her anger and said, "It's so close, right under our noses. How abominable!"

Yan Ruyu remained silent, extremely anxious, but the more anxious she was, the more she had to stay calm.

She took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions: "Let's quickly check the area within a ten-mile radius from here to see if there is anything suspicious."

"Also," Yan Ruyu looked at Huo Changhe, "Your Majesty, I think..."

"I know, let's go to Cheng's house," Huo Changhe gently held her shoulders, "I'll go with you."

Princess Mingzhao and Qi Dongqiang did not leave either, and joined in the search. Jiang Tangli had gotten into trouble right under their noses, and they were restless when they returned.

Yan Ruyu was about to leave when Princess Mingzhao suddenly thought of something.

"Princess," she stepped forward and whispered, "I saw Cheng Fengyao's face when she got married. I didn't think much about it at the time, but now that I think about it, I feel like something is not right."

"How to say?"

Princess Ming Zhao recalled the scene at that time: "I saw her veil was blown up a little, she had no expression, and her eyes were blank, like... a puppet."

"Usually, when a girl gets married, her brothers carry her to the sedan chair, but she didn't do that. Moreover, she said before that she would never get married, but then she suddenly stopped making a fuss. The contrast is too great."

Princess Mingzhao made a bold guess: "I think she should be controlled by someone. The person who controls her may be the great wizard. The mastermind behind this should be Cheng Guanghan."

Yan Ruyu went there to inquire about the origins of the Cheng family's father and son, the great master. If she didn't have any evidence or speculation in her hands and the Cheng family refused to say anything, Huo Changhe would have to use force.

It is possible, but it will always give others an advantage.

After hearing what Princess Mingzhao said, Yan Ruyu had an idea.

Huo Changhe thought for a moment and said, "I remember what Ming Zhao said. I was in a hurry to find Miss Jiang just now. When I went to the front of the team to check the bride's sedan chair, I hit the sedan bearer. The sedan bearer was unstable and the sedan chair tilted. Cheng Fengyao inside didn't say anything either."

"Her veil fluttered a little," Huo Changhe frowned slightly, "It was just as Ming Zhao said, she didn't react, like a wooden man."

"Okay, I get it," Yan Ruyu had a plan in mind, "Princess, you guys search here first, but be careful and don't spread out too far, and you and Dong Qiang shouldn't separate."

"Okay, we know, go ahead."

They split up, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe returned to the city to visit Cheng's family, while the rest searched around.

On the way back to the city, Huo Changhe asked Yinding and the others to go out and help.

He also called the little beggars in the dilapidated temple to go out and look for news.

Look for it superficially, secretly, openly, privately, and in all aspects.

"Let's also tell Jiang Yanmu," Huo Changhe suggested, "This matter cannot be kept secret. There are many people in the Jiang family who can help."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Let's do as the prince says."

It would be a lie to say that she had no regrets. Yan Ruyu was really blaming herself now.

I thought it was just a game and made good arrangements, but I didn't expect this to be the result in the end.

If Jiang Tangli was safe and sound in the end, it would be fine, but if something bad happened to her...

What's more, Yan Ruyu clenched the leaves in her hand.

Great Master, every leaf I have ever seen shows that this is something unusual.

It is not easy to find someone safely.

Huo Changhe took the leaf from her hand, held her hand tightly, and comforted her silently.

Yan Ruyu held her breath, knowing that this was not the time to blame herself and feel upset. The important thing was to seize the time and make full use of the golden rescue time.

"Don't worry, my lord. I'm fine."

She opened the pages with the footprints and flipped through them several times.

I was increasingly feeling that something was not quite right.

Huo Changhe said: "I also saw the footprints, so I can be sure of one thing."

"what?"

"This person must be a lame man, because one of his footprints is deep and the other is shallow."

Yan Ruyu suddenly realized what was wrong.

The footprint drawing that was copied has different colors, some dark and some dark.

It wasn't very even, so it looked awkward to her.

"I see."

Yan Ruyu looked at the blueprint and said, "If that's the case, then we can narrow the scope a little."

After all, there are people everywhere who have no problems with their legs, but those who have some problems are relatively rare.
