The carriage gradually moved away from the boundaries of the Capital. Under the cover of night, it traveled a great distance in just one night.
While Dong Huiying was being transported away from the Capital in this carriage, an exceedingly strange scene appeared in a farmhouse on the outskirts of the capital.
Several Black Cats clustered around a mouse, seeming like the mouse’s guards. This small group scurried through nooks and crannies, rapidly darting towards a dazed man whose eyes were bloodshot.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
"ow ow ow!"
The mouse and the cats were chattering noisily, as if they were reporting their findings to the man.
The man paused slightly after listening, then imdiately rushed towards the stable.
He led out a horse, mounted it, and galloped away swiftly.
On the road, Haoming encountered Third Brother, imdiately pulling his reins and silently reaching out a hand. Shujun, feeling a surge of emotion, promptly grabbed onto Haoming’s hand, using it to leap onto the horse, sitting behind Haoming and asking in a hoarse voice, "Is there any news of Xiao Hui?"
"Yes, Wife, Wife!"
Clamping the horse’s sides with his long legs, he snapped the whip, and in an instant, galloped off into the distance.
After about a quarter of an hour, the horse ca to a halt. The two of them swiftly dismounted and rushed into a farmhouse yard, only to find it deserted.
"Damn it!"
Shujun cursed in frustration, turning in place for a while before heading outside. The ground was covered with snow, and on the snow’s surface were long hoofprints and two sets of wheel tracks.
Under the night sky, Shujun looked towards the distance with a complex expression. He had already checked inside, finding no bloodstains nor signs of a struggle, so the main concern seed safe and likely still alive. But why did the other party ticulously plan to abduct the main concern?
He tightly furrowed his brow, then let out a long sigh. From his pouch, he took out a Gu Insect resembling a fly and used a stick to write a line on the ground. "Haoming, go! Follow to pursue the main concern!"
"Right!" Haoming nodded firmly, and the two of them mounted their horses again, following the wheel tracks in pursuit.
Shujun excelled in tracking, and due to the Beast Pill, Haoming could understand animal speech. However, Shujun could only track a single target, and if the other party split up their forces, he would be at a loss. Although Haoming could command small animals, these animals had limited intelligence and generally low efficiency and speed. Thus, they complented each other, and when Shujun lost the trail, Haoming would use small animals to pinpoint an exact location, allowing Shujun’s brain to quickly deduce and judge the tracking direction.
This complentary partnership effectively avoided many unnecessary detours, continuously closing the gap between them and the carriage ahead.
Yixuan and Yun Ge made a trip to the Prince ng Mansion, then promptly entered the palace through a secret passage. Yixuan speculated that the abduction of the main concern was Qinghe’s doing, and when Ji Jiuhuang heard of it, her face turned cold as snow, covered with frost!
"Xiao Qinghe, indeed!"
Clearly, she was furious. Back in the days of the army confrontation, she had stated before. A dragon has a reverse scale, and those who touch it die! And this reverse scale had never changed over the years.
"Calm down!" Prince ng, seeing the situation, quickly pulled Ji Jiuhuang back, lest she beco too furious. If she acted rashly in a mont of fury, it could be detrintal to her.
Ji Jiuhuang waved her hand, "Elder Sixth Sister, don’t worry, I know my limits!"
