C144 (1/2)
Duan Chengyu and his men searched more than half of the mountain, but to no avail.
When Duan Chengxuan entered the city, the city guards saluted him one by one, and a city guard walked up to him. ”Yesterday, the city guards were knocked unconscious and threw the poison on the streets of the commoners. Currently, they have already been sent to the Hall of Reparation for medical treatment.”
”His rule is not strict! And now, after Princess Jing has gone missing for a single day, you all actually did not even know that the city guards were replaced yesterday! ” Duan Chengyu's face was completely calm, and he even used the imposing manner he once had in the army camp.
The city guards were all trembling in fear, not daring to move.
Duan Chengyu was too lazy to care about it, the most important thing right now was to find Gu Liuyan.
”Where did Imperial Uncle go?!” He turned around in frustration and instructed his men to go to every corner of Sky Flame City and see if they had seen the imperial concubine or where she was.
On the other side, he could only send more people to search the mountain and hope that Duan Chengxuan would return early to settle this matter.
At the same time, on the top floor of the Wind Listening Pavilion, Liu'er was sitting in front of a zither. A white carrier pigeon had already landed on the table next to her.
A few twelve to thirteen year old girls came up the stairs, jumping and making a ruckus as they ran to Liu'er's side.
”Big Sister Liu'er, what are you looking at?” A girl with her hair tied up in a bun was lying on Liu'er's thigh.
Liu'er stuffed the letter back at the pigeon's feet and rubbed the girl's head. ”I was looking at my master's information. You should go out and ask around. If you could hear a trace of news about Crown Princess Jing, my master would be very happy.”
”Then when are we going to meet Master?” The little girl pursed her lips.
”As long as you do what you need to do, Master will bring you to the valley to play in the future.” Liu'er patted her head, and the girls excitedly ran around the streets.
When no one was around, her face turned cold.
A seductive woman with a large chunk of exposed skin leisurely walked up to him. ”No wonder Mistress likes you the most. You're not like me, you're really dirty.”
”You're not dirty at all. The master brought you here to take a look at the Heaven Flame, afraid that you would feel sorry for yourself.” Liu'er consoled him with a soft voice. She then took the ink and paper from the girl's hands and carefully wrote a few words on the small piece of paper.
The woman waited until she finished writing a few pages before she brought back a cage full of carrier pigeons. She helped her load them bit by bit and even lowered her eyes. ”Tell me, why don't you …”
”If master only did it for himself, we would have died on the way back and forth on the Sky Flame.” Liu'er chuckled. In the end, she just closed the cage and the alluring woman took the item away.
Half an hour later, pigeons flew out one after another from all over Sky Flame along with other white pigeons. There were also quite a few girls scurrying around, occasionally passing the candy rack and occasionally heading to the clothing store to intentionally ask.
Only when the sun had set did Duan Chengxuan slowly descend with Su Yu Wan on his black horse.
Today, Su Yuwan chatted about a lot of things that had happened with Duan Chengxuan. It was as if she had returned to the time when she was still in the sect. She leaned into Duan Chengxuan's embrace and whispered, ”I also hope to become Big Brother Xuan's consort.”
”Why are you unhappy?” Duan Cheng Xuan tightened her grip on the person in her embrace.
”If I were Big Brother Xuan's wangfei, then I wouldn't have my current wangfei. I don't like her at all.” Su Yuwan hugged her chest tighter. ”It used to be just the two of us, but now …”
”Because this world is too vast.” The corners of Duan Chengxuan's mouth raised, and he only quickened his pace. ”I have to move forward, and as for Wan'er, she only needs to stay by this duke's side and wait.”
