The Lantern Festival had been over for almost half a month, and without Qiu Dayu's reminder, he still couldn't remember it.
He smiled bitterly to himself.
Yan Yan, I really miss you.
Even the waning moon could not ease the pain of unrequited love in his heart.
It's almost February 19th, and he's going to break his promise.
I wonder if his daughter Yan Yan will blame him.
Gu Qian had wanted to get married as soon as possible, but he never expected that this cruel war would come so suddenly.
As a military commander in Dongjin, he could not rest as long as the war continued.
Qiu Dayu also looked at the waning moon in the sky, and couldn't help but wonder.
"Is it already February? Has it gotten that fast?"
...On the other hand, regarding Gu Xiaoran's disappearance,
Li Zheng, He Lin, and his group of bodyguards searched along the path of fallen peanut candies in the mountains that day.
Until they reached the end of the road, they lost all traces except for a string of dog prints and a piece of clothing torn by lightning.
At the edge of the forest, Zhan Yue crouched down, carefully examining the hem of her clothes on the ground.
"Your Majesty, General Li, this fabric is of the highest quality. Only our royal guards have such material."
Li Zheng felt a deep gloom in his heart. He also took a close look at the hem of the garment.
"Is it Xuanming and Xuanying's?"
He Lin shook his head: "No, the patterns are inconsistent."
He clenched his fist inwardly. If he found out who was secretly kidnapping his child, he would not let that person get away with it, no matter what their background was.
He is now fearless!
"Your Majesty," Zhan Yue paused slightly, then glanced at Li Zheng beside her, and continued to He Lin, "What should we do next?"
He Lin: "Keep searching." What else can we do?
Jin'er was his only solace.
He was afraid that Jin'er would get hurt.
Because of Jin'er, he now feels a special warmth whenever he hears a dog barking.
However, he still dared not get close.
"Woof woof..." A dog barked, and Li Zheng and He Lin's ears twitched. They quickly ran towards the source of the sound.
However, they were greatly disappointed.
The sound did not originate from lightning!
He Lin took two steps back, moving away from the black dog.
Li Zheng lowered his eyes, his heart sinking.
Looking down, he saw again the string of dog prints on the ground.
The dog print, stained with drops of blood, stirred something within him.
"This dog mark is from lightning."
He Lin nodded in agreement, while Zhan Yue seemed somewhat puzzled.
"General Li has a good eye." He could even distinguish dog prints.
"Your Majesty, they may very well have taken the young master to Shangjin."
He Lin nodded. "Very likely. Leave a few people here to search, and we'll set off immediately back to Shangjin!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Zheng, but only saw his back.
"General Li!" Zhan Yue shouted from afar, but Li Zheng waved his hand at them, "Separately search."
If it's possible, then go and look for it.
He didn't want to let go of any small clue.
Unbeknownst to Li Zheng and He Lin, Gu Xiaoran, whom they were so worried about, was currently being held tightly by a masked man in black, moving up and down the treetops eastward.
He Lin guessed correctly; Gu Xiaoran was indeed heading towards Shangjin at that moment.
"Masked Uncle, please put me down. Aren't you tired of carrying me like this while flying?"
Gu Xiaoran's eyes darted around as she racked her brains for a way to escape.
He has been held hostage by masked men for more than half a month.
These past few days, he hasn't been eating or sleeping well, and he's been feeling incredibly wronged.
Xuanming and Xuanying followed closely, and several times they almost lost the masked man's attention.
