Qi Mobai was riding on a white horse, his black hair flying and his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, his heart was like the wind, chaotic and complicated.

Her surname is Xu, and the shopkeeper calls her "Yueyue".

Such a beautiful, smart, kind-hearted "young man" turned out to be a woman.

No wonder the shopkeeper had that look on his face.

She seems to be the daughter of the third branch of the Xu family.

Have you been living in Prince Rong’s Mansion recently?

What is her relationship with Prince Rong?

Qi Mobai knew that this was not the time to think about all these miscellaneous things, but he felt that he couldn't control his mind from thinking about these things.

After knowing that Xu Xinyue was a girl, he became even more worried.

He squeezed the horse's belly and urged it on, just wanting to go faster and faster and reach the destination.

On Qin Yuechuan's side, after investigation, he found traces of carriage tracks somewhere.

Just following the trail, I found a steep slope, and at the bottom of the steep slope there were only the shattered remains of a carriage.

When Qingyang first discovered the wreckage, he found that Qin Yuechuan's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

His muscles were visibly tense.

His eyes, which had not rested all night, were red and bloodshot, his lips were tightly pursed, and he stared at the bottom without moving his gaze away.

Qin Yuechuan didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the people who went down to investigate said that there was no sign of her, no bloodstains, and no horse carcasses.

The tense shoulders and back slowly relaxed.

The absence of blood indicated no injuries.

The carriage was pushed down deliberately.

The horse is not there either. It must have been taken away.

Who took the horse away? Was it Xu Xianyue? Or was it someone else?

"Return the way you came and continue the search."

The person who took her away knew how to leave traces.

Those traces that can be erased should be erased, and those that cannot be erased should be deliberately confused and covered up with other traces.

Looks like an experienced guy.

In addition to the wheel tracks, Qin Yuechuan's men searched in the direction of the fallen grass and trees and discovered that the vehicle was actually circling in the woods.

It seems that there are at least two waves, or more than two waves of people, one wave took Xu Xinyue away, and the other wave created a confusing illusion.

As he was thinking, a soldier suddenly ran up to him:

"Your Majesty, our people have captured a man riding a white horse from the palace."

Riding on the palace's horse, could it be that Uncle Zhang is sending someone to deliver some message?

"Take me to see it."

Not long after, Qin Yuechuan saw the person the palace soldier was talking about.

The young man was about the same age as him, dressed in a plain white robe that was spotless, except for a few wrinkles from having just dismounted from a horse.

Her black hair was tied into a ponytail behind her head with a plain cloth.

He has handsome features and a picturesque face.

A Confucian temperament.

When he met Qin Yuechuan, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Prince Rong."

"Why did you come here on the palace's horse?"

Qi Mobai briefly explained the matter.

And hand over the cloth.

Qin Yuechuan took the cloth strip and it was just as he said.

The breath that had just been let out came up again.

It turned out to be bandits!

No wonder!

He was kidnapped by bandits for one night.

Qin Yuechuan felt even more guilty.

Thinking of her elegant and smiling face, Qin Yuechuan's chest began to ache again.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his eyes, and ordered: "Look for it according to the instructions on the cloth strip."

"If you find anything, you can get back to me."

Facing Qi Mobai, Qin Yuechuan's face showed a hint of inquiry.

He asked in a cold voice: "How did you meet her?"

Qi Mobai answered truthfully: "I met Miss Xu by chance in her shop, and Miss Xu once helped me."

Her shop?

Qin Yuechuan recalled that her father was a businessman, so it was not surprising that she had several shops under her.

"How long have you known her?"

"It's not like we've known each other for long. I was just a regular customer of her shop before Miss Xu came to my aid last time."

Qin Yuechuan felt inexplicably alert: "You don't have a close relationship with her, but you actually came here in person to deliver a letter to me."

His tone was cold and hard, and he was not friendly towards Qi Mobai.

Qi Mobai still replied indifferently: "Miss Xu is kind-hearted and helpful. She helped me when I was in trouble. It is not worth mentioning that such a small effort can help Miss Xu."

He was polite and all his answers were appropriate and reasonable.

But Qin Yuechuan always had a strange feeling.

Before I could think about what was strange, I heard someone report back: "Your Majesty, there's something different over there."

Qin Yuechuan put Qi Mobai out of his mind for the moment and walked over quickly.

"What did you find?"

"Your Highness, look, there are a lot more flowers here. Although they are scattered by the wind, you can still roughly tell which direction they are heading in--" The palace soldier pointed in a direction.

Qi Mobai stepped forward to check and said, "It's honeysuckle."

He looked around again and said, “There are no honeysuckle flowers nearby. It’s obvious that someone left them there on purpose.

This is probably the guidance that Miss Xu left for us."

After hearing this, Qin Yuechuan nodded and walked along the scattered traces of honeysuckle with an expressionless face.

But the further we walked, the scarcer the honeysuckle flowers became.

Obviously, the flowers she was wearing were not enough.

However, there were some signs of fallen plants and grass nearby. This group of people must be the one that took Xu Xinyue away.

Qin Yuechuan continued to follow the current traces, and finally, in a forest on a low slope, he saw the village on the opposite high slope.

Presumably, that was the bandits' lair.

"Miss Xu, is this right here?"

"Ah."

If Xu Xinyue hadn’t been deeply involved in it.

It was easy for Qin Yuechuan to gather troops and destroy such a small mountain stronghold.

However, we need to find out where Xu Xinyue is at this time. It would be best if we can take her away quietly, and then we can destroy this bandit's nest.

Watching from afar, the layout of this bandit den actually has some traces of a military camp.

Thinking of the cover-up method they used when they came here, Qin Yuechuan seemed to have guessed something.

Now, all he had to do was wait for nightfall.

Xu Xinyue, please wait a moment.

The longer time went on, the more uneasy Xu Xinyue felt.

I don’t know if Uncle Zhang can guess his intention.

I don’t know if Qin Yuechuan has discovered that the “Xu Xianyue” is a fake.

I don’t know if any traces of her are still there.

Xu Xinyue hugged her knees and buried her head in her arms.

She huddled herself in a corner filled with cargo boxes, praying silently that things would go as smoothly as she had expected.
