The Rong and Qin governments went out together, some went to the city gate, and some searched various places in the city that Rong Chaoxi liked.
The news spread quickly, and almost everyone in the city knew that General Rong's youngest daughter had run away from home or been kidnapped by criminals.
The more people know about it, the wider the news will be.
After asking the soldiers guarding the north gate to no avail, Wang Ren stayed there. Relying on the reputation of the general's mansion, he set up barriers at the gate to check every pedestrian and vehicle entering and leaving, to ensure that Rong Chaoxi would not be taken out of the city under his nose.
Just as he stopped the fifth carriage, an old farmer selling vegetables at the city gate pulled him aside and asked.
"Sir, are you looking for a little pink doll wearing a red dress?"
“…”
This morning the old farmer saw a man with a scar on his face anxiously leaving the city holding a delicate little baby.
As for the man with the scar, he had seen him before in Juku Mountain. He was a bandit in Juku Mountain.
After hearing this, Wang Ren immediately rode back with the news at full speed.
…
"Bandits? Have they left the city?" Rong Xuqing stood up suddenly.
Suddenly, his vision went dark, his body swayed slightly, and he managed to stand firmly by holding on to the table.
She hadn't had breakfast and was now extremely hungry.
"Miss..." Mu Xiu walked forward worriedly.
"When did you leave the city?" Rong Xuqing raised his hand to indicate that everything was fine.
"At the beginning of the morning hour, when the city gates just opened." Wang Ren replied.
"Sister." At this time, Rong Yubai, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "Maybe we should go find father."
"..." Rong Xuqing tilted his head to look, a puzzled look on his face, "In this situation?"
"Yeah." Rong Yubai nodded.
"Uncle Wang, please go down first. I need to talk to my sister alone."
After everyone in the room had left, Rong Yubai said,
"I never understood why Chaoxi said that if Qianluo died, we could escape from the Annan Marquisate."
"If this matter is really convicted, at most one life will be paid for one life, and you may even be saved by your majesty."
"Your Majesty is merciful and will definitely not execute the entire Rong family for this. They pose no threat to the Annan Marquisate."
"From the current situation, I understand."
"What?" Rong Xuqing asked.
"The crime that could bring disaster to the entire clan is treason," Rong Yubai said calmly, "If my father secretly escapes to the Dali Temple in order to find Chao Xi, and then leads his troops to attack Mount Juku."
"What do you think... those people in the court who are against the generals and my father will do?"
"He's guilty, yet he fled without permission, leading his troops out of the city..." Rong Xuqing finally understood. "They'll definitely accuse Dad of treason! This is a conspiracy!"
Rong Yubai nodded.
"These things have been foreseen day and night." Thinking of this, Rong Xuqing became even more worried.
"But this is... this is too dangerous. What if she gets hurt? She's still so young."
If it was just a simple kidnapping, they would just need to pay money to avoid disaster, and the Rong family is not short of that money.
But this was a planned conspiracy. If they were not after money, the kidnappers would not care about the personal safety of the hostages.
"I believe in Chaoxi." Rong Yubai said calmly, "She can cure me and rescue my father and Brother Jiang from the ghost market. She won't put herself in danger."
Thinking that this matter was within his foresight, Rong Yubai was no longer worried.
He even felt that Chaoxi had asked to be kidnapped.
After hearing his words, Rong Xuqing's heart gradually calmed down.
Yes, Chaoxi is a goddess, she has divine power, she will be fine.
"Sister, go find father and tell him the whole story." Suddenly thinking of something, Rong Yubai continued,
"Disguise yourself. Don't let anyone know you've been to the Dali Temple. Once father leads his troops up Mount Juku, the news of his escape will naturally be revealed by the relevant people."
…
Juku Mountain.
Inside the cave.
Walking in the narrow black corridor that twists and turns, and branches like nerve endings.
A quarter of an hour later, the two people and the child finally arrived at a horizontal cave with two torches, which could accommodate seven or eight people sitting in a row, and took a rest.
But the walls of the cave were pitch black, pitch black everywhere.
No one went to sit there.
The tip of her nose felt a little itchy, so the pretty woman raised her hand to scratch it, but she saw that her fingers and palms were also pitch black.
She stared at her palms, perhaps confused.
Why did they paint the stone walls with charcoal ash?
"This was left behind when the government set fire. It will be clear if we go in further." The patrolling bandit noticed her confusion and explained.
"This is just a hallway, far from where we live, so there's no need to keep it clean."
After resting for a while, the patrolling bandits took a torch from the wall, and the two of them and the child continued walking.
"The passage ahead is narrow and has many forks. If you're not careful, you'll end up in a dead end. If you get lost in there, you'll be stuck for at least three days. Young lady, you must follow me closely."
"Oh, that's good."
"I got lost once when I went into the mountains, but I got out in one day."
"Oh, that's great."
"I don't have any other strengths, but I'm good at remembering the way. Once I've walked through it, there's nothing I can't remember..."
"Oh, that's pretty impressive."
The patrolling bandits talked to the pretty woman as they walked.
The latter only responded perfunctorily, but his hands would occasionally touch the cave wall, leaving a few light carbon marks.
Listening to the patrolling bandits talking and bragging about themselves.
And the elegant woman's "Oh, that's quite..."
"Oh, that's quite..."
"Oh, that's quite..."
Rong Chaoxi yawned, lay on the shoulder of the pretty woman, and fell into a light sleep.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to sleep, it’s that she can’t sleep because the little one is hungry.
