"what?!"

In the Jinluan Palace, the little emperor was completely shocked.

The majestic eldest princess of Qi was actually kidnapped by a group of bandits?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the urgent report came that our troops have wiped out several groups of bandits near Boyang City. Only the group that kidnapped the eldest princess and King Huai have not been found. They are still... alive or dead. unknown."

Pei Yan looked stern.

That woman clearly promised him to treat him to a meal, but now she has gone missing before the meal is eaten.

She is a person who has been doing things like the wind and rain recently, so she has probably put this kind of thing behind her a long time ago.

I heard that she led thousands of elite soldiers this time just to vent her anger on the family.

Ha, it's kind of sentimental.

"Are you all trash? No one can be found for three whole days. How big is Boyang City? Even if the land is turned over inch by inch, my imperial sister... and imperial uncle can't make any mistakes!"

The little emperor was so angry that he threw the memorial on the dragon table, as if he was really worried about getting angry.

"Your Majesty, calm down! The mountains near Boyang City are extremely complex, and there is a poisonous forest. It is really difficult to find people. Many of our soldiers have been poisoned and have been vomiting and having diarrhea... The local officials and gentry, There is a lot of collusion between them and the bandits, so our actions are really restricted at every turn."

"Then you can't think of a way? They are just a group of bandits. Every year, the court allocates a lot of money and soldiers, but they are not completely wiped out! Now they are so arrogant that they kidnapped the emperor's sister and uncle. Why, you ministers still Do you want to wait helplessly for them to kidnap me?"

The little emperor was still angry, and the ministers below dared not speak out.

The eldest princess wanted to go to that damn place herself, but they didn't ask her to go!
Now it's good. He was kidnapped by bandits and blamed them. What a big scapegoat.

But the little emperor was furious, and no one dared to retort at this time. They were so depressed that they all turned to Pei Yan for help.

Pei Yan stood tall and tall, watching them arguing with no expression on his face. After the court became quiet, he slowly spoke -

"Your Majesty, my grandfather has settled in the Boyang area for many years. It would be better for me to lead a group of talented people who are good at tracking to go find him."

After he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful in his heart. People didn't take him seriously at all, so why did he rush to save people?
But he wanted to verify a conjecture in his mind.

During this period, after the eldest princess left Beijing, he began to investigate everything that happened in the princess's house during this period.

Then he discovered that it was not that he knew too little about Chongning, but that this person's behavior had undergone earth-shaking changes almost overnight.

Moreover, she is very good at disguising. Her demeanor and behavioral habits are all imitating the former Chongning, and even the people serving around her don't notice anything wrong.

But no matter how much a person imitates, he can't get rid of his own spiritual core.

This kind of thing can only be seen from the way she usually does things.

Chongning does things according to his heart, but he is also perverse and rebellious.

But she is bold and careful, able to think of many details and make plans before taking action.

This time she led the troops out of Beijing. It seemed like she did it randomly. She must have planned it for a long time in advance. Otherwise, how could she have thought of asking Liu Yuanwai, a famous local philanthropist, for help?

It's a pity that the information she investigated was still too superficial, and she failed to see that Liu Yong, that old fox, was not a good person at all.

During this period, Pei Yan also checked out a lot of strange folk stories, and there were many examples of dramatic changes in personality after experiencing major events or disasters. However, Chongning stayed at home well and nothing happened.

The only change was Chen Liang.

Starting from Chen Liang, Pei Yan really didn't find anything. He didn't know if someone deliberately erased any traces.

Just when he had no clue, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

Chen Liang's deceased wife.

Shen Yuluo.Many of Chongning's recent actions are closely related to the daughter of the Shen family.

Moreover, the people who used to surround Shen Yuluo are now surrounding Chongning. The most obvious one is her dowry maid Qingluan.

After starting from this aspect, Pei Yan's investigation became much faster.

He discovered that since Chongning's personality changed, the first thing he did was to take the Shen family and his wife from the prison to the princess's mansion, and the recently promoted Xue Cheng was her former compatriot. Received care and support from the Shen family.

A bold idea began to take shape in my mind.

Pei Yan has never believed in ghosts and gods.

But he actually began to feel that there might really be such a thing in the world.

According to folklore, ghosts with grievances or unresolved grudges can seek out fresh corpses to possess them, but they cannot possess living people.

Unless it was the living person who took the initiative to sacrifice.

The more he looked at these things, the more frightened he became. They were beyond all his knowledge in the past 20 years.

He must find out clearly about Shen Yuluo.

Yes, he just wanted an answer.

"Then follow what Pei Aiqing said."

The little emperor finally smiled, but if you look carefully, you can see that his smile did not reach his eyes.

As far as he knew, Chen Liang's grandfather came to Beijing some time ago.

But the princess didn't tell him about this.

Pei Yan, Pei Yan, can't you restrain yourself so quickly?

In the end, he was coaxed by Jiang Yinyue's few words and believed her deceptive words. He is simply the biggest fool in the world.

How could anyone in this world treat him sincerely?

Imperial sister, that’s all.

When Pei Yan and his men rushed to Boyang City non-stop day and night, Xuan Che had already been searching in the mountains for several days.

He had been gone for a few hours, so why did he disappear?
"Master Pei, she was indeed imprisoned here before."

Xuan Che squatted on the top of the mountain in despair, looking at the empty thatched house, hating why he had listened to her so much before and not taken her away by force.

In the past few days, he had dug almost three feet into the ground and searched all the nearby hills for hundreds of miles.

"As far as I know, you are the most powerful martial artist around her. She left Beijing this time because of you. Why don't you always stay by her side?"

Pei Yan could have talked to him calmly. If it were anyone else, maybe he wouldn't be so angry.

But this person happened to be him. Later, Chongning kept putting himself in danger to save him and protect him, and took down everyone many times!
He didn't know why he was so angry, maybe it just wasn't worth it for her.

"Yes, I... deserve death."

Xuan Che's face was ashen. In fact, he hadn't eaten or drank much in the past few days, let alone rested. He was a bit thinner than before. In addition, the poison barrier forest was stirring up the poisonous hair in his body. It looked like Describe withered.
