Because most of the places here are villas of dignitaries, it is also known as the Little Capital in the Eastern Suburbs.
It was already late at night, and everything was quiet. Even the servants were fast asleep in the deep courtyard of the mansion.
But there was someone waiting anxiously at the back door with a lamp on. The wind blew past him, outlining a silhouette of an old man.
"Hurry up!" The old voice once again proved to be that of an old slave.
Someone walked out of the cabin, and the wind continued to outline his appearance and conveyed it to Yun Yao. He was a burly man, and he was carrying a young girl.
Yun Yao opened her eyes and she knew the location!
Suddenly, she saw a round, fast-moving shadow appear on the ground. She looked at it in surprise for a while, then looked up and saw a black object flying in the sky.
She was a little surprised, and immediately flew up and leaped towards the familiar black round object. She was getting closer and closer, and it was the Fat Buddha's cauldron!
She jumped onto the edge of the cauldron, and the Fat Buddha and Lettuce inside the cauldron were surprised to see her.
"Yun Yao?!"
"Sister Yunyao!"
"Fat Buddha?! Baby Rapunzel?!"
Both sides spoke in unison.
"Why are you here?!" everyone asked in unison, then stared at each other in surprise.
Fat Buddha and his friends chased Qi Feng all the way down the mountain, but Qi Feng and his friends got on a carriage, and Fat Buddha couldn't fly, and his legs weren't fast enough. Fortunately, he remembered his pot, which could fly, so they sat in the pot and continued to chase Qi Feng, and finally caught up with him here.
"Little Lettuce found that there were several people in the venue with blood all over their bodies. They must have killed a lot of people. So, let's chase them to see who they are, so that we can go back and tell Fu Mingrui to investigate." Fat Buddha pointed to the carriage speeding through the woods not far away. "Yes, we have been chasing them. They didn't return to the capital, but went to the eastern suburbs. There must be something wrong."
After hearing this, Yun Yao was shocked and regretful: "There is actually someone else! If I had known, I would not have separated from you!" Yun Yao returned to her human form in a depressed mood, sat on the edge of the pot and pouted.
Fat Buddha and Little Lettuce both looked at Yun Yao with confusion.
Yun Yao sighed and said, "I heard that a girl disappeared on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, so I decided to investigate the case on impulse. As a result, I found that someone might have kidnapped a lot of girls and killed them. If I had met with you and discussed it before, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
Fat Buddha and Little Lettuce were shocked when they heard this. Fat Buddha immediately asked, "What about now?"
Yun Yao also pointed to the house that was vaguely visible in the woods in the distance: "They really did capture a girl again tonight. I followed them to that house. Now you are chasing another group of people here, which means they really have a lot of people. I have asked Yuchi Jingbei to notify Fu Mingrui. This case involves too many people, and it may not be convenient for us Nine Gates to handle it."
Fat Buddha also nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, we met here. And the destination was the same.
“Hiss… That girl is in danger! We have to rescue her first!” Fat Buddha clasped his hands together, his face suddenly looking serious.
Yun Yao looked thoughtful. "Wait, I was always impulsive before, so I went through so much trouble and wasted so much time. Now, we have to think carefully. This is a human case, which is different from what we usually do. We can't just go in and fight and save people randomly. In the end, there will be no physical evidence, which will not prove that they wanted to kill the girl."
The Fat Buddha nodded slightly, his eyes showing satisfaction, and Yun Yao calmed down.
"Besides, this is the small capital city in the eastern suburbs. Those who built houses here must be either rich or noble. And you said you came here to track down a few people from the Lantern Festival, which means that the house is at least of the third rank or above. If we don't have enough evidence, maybe those bastards will get away with it in the end!"
"That makes sense." Fat Buddha nodded again, "We should catch the criminal red-handed!" Fat Buddha gave Yun Yao a thumbs up.
Unexpectedly, Yun Yao, who was always so proud and self-satisfied, became shy at this moment, and her face turned slightly red: "So, let's wait and see, Fu Mingrui is coming soon anyway."
Fat Buddha nodded again. This time Yun Yao thought it through very carefully!
At this moment, the carriage arrived at the house and stopped at the back door. Yun Yao saw that the person guarding the door was indeed an old servant.
The old servant hurried forward and helped Lin Huohuo and Li Dada get off the carriage first. Then, they carried Lin Shiyue out.
The cloak slipped slightly in the moonlight, revealing Lin Shiyue's face.
Yun Yao saw it and immediately exclaimed: "Shiyue! How dare they kidnap the daughter of the Right Prime Minister!"
Fat Buddha was also slightly amazed: "It turns out that one of these four people is Miss Lin. No wonder Little Lettuce said that only three of them have blood."
When Yun Yao saw the man's outer robe on Lin Shiyue, her eyes widened with anger: "What a trick! It's not enough that they kidnapped a young girl! They even kidnapped Shiyue! These people are really courting death!"
At this moment, Qi Feng also got off the carriage.
"That's him!" Little Lettuce became frightened at high altitude and immediately hid behind Fat Buddha. "He has the most blood energy!"
Yun Yao and Fat Buddha looked at Qi Feng. This man must be the mastermind!
"He looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect him to be a beast!" Yun Yao said angrily, trying to keep calm. Otherwise, if it were in the past, she would have been unable to resist going down and beating up that group of people to save Lin Shiyue and the other girl.
She didn't expect that keeping calm would be so difficult.
Yun Yao watched Lin Shiyue being carried into the house and immediately became worried. She looked up at the moonlight. It was almost midnight, and Lin Shulun should have discovered that Lin Shiyue was missing. Now, there would be chaos at the venue.
After the fireworks ended, more and more people left the Imperial Forest Lantern Festival. The champion of martial arts was also decided on the stage, and it was Fu Minghui.
The black Zhong Lei that Duanmu Yaxin was worried about was actually arranged by Fu Kun and Zhong Lei's father. Zhong Lei's martial arts were also well-known in the capital, and I believe he was unique among these weak young masters of noble families. Let Zhong Lei take the lead first, so as to save some energy for Fu Minghui.
However, Fu Kun did not tell Fu Minghui about this matter, for fear of hurting the child's self-esteem.
What Fu Kun didn't expect was that Fu Minghui actually used his real skills to defeat Zhong Lei.
At first, they were worried that the Yuchi family would fight for the princess, and they wanted Zhong Lei to consume the Yuchi family's physical strength, but unexpectedly, none of the major generals of the Yuchi family came on the field.
The Yuchi family had the largest number of visitors in the entire Lantern Festival. However, this group of people really just came to stroll around and eat, and had no interest in the prince and princess at all.
In fact, Yuchi Gongshan did give some instructions, such as specifically telling Yuchi Jingbei. But as soon as Yuchi Jingbei saw Yun Yao, he had already forgotten about the princess. In addition, Yuchi Jingbei really didn't like the unruly little princess, so he only agreed reluctantly from the beginning. (To be continued)
