Puff puff puff!
Arrows rained down, and the guards brought by Li Mingyue fell to the ground. In an instant, dozens of guards were killed.
Lu Chen and Li Mingyue were both stunned. This was the capital of Da Qi. How could the other party commit such a crime in the street and assassinate the eldest princess? How bold was he!
Just as the two were stunned, a large net dropped from the sky and directly enveloped them. At the same time, a man in black on the roof shouted, "Closing the net!"
The female official with the arrow in her shoulder wanted to step forward when she saw this, but Lu Chen roared, "Run! Go call for help! They won't kill us for now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen and Li Mingyue were put into sacks, and several men in black carried them away quickly.
The remaining few people wanted to surround and kill the female official to silence her. Seeing this, the female official gritted her teeth and ran away. While running, she pulled out a bamboo tube from her arms and pulled the mechanism towards the sky.
After a sharp whistle, a bright light bullet soared into the air.
The men in black immediately stopped walking when they saw this. One of them growled, "The wind is strong! Hurry!"
A few minutes later, the patrolling soldiers arrived, and then a piece of news that shocked the entire Qi court spread throughout the capital.
Master Lu and the eldest princess were abducted!
"Waste! A bunch of waste! In broad daylight, on the streets of the capital, someone used a powerful crossbow to kidnap the Princess and Master Lu. Where is the Yingtian Prefecture Governor? What do you do for a living? Do you still want to save the lives of your family?"
Li Zhuo was so furious that he almost wanted to go up and chop off the head of the Yingtian prefect.
This is the capital city, right under the feet of the emperor. The one who was kidnapped was the imperial teacher, and the other was his own sister.
This is no longer just kidnapping, it is a challenge to his authority.
The officials below were also silent. This matter was too serious. If something went wrong, there would be rivers of blood.
Needless to say, the eldest princess holds a great importance in His Majesty's heart. She is his biological sister and one of the few relatives the emperor has in this world.
And Lu Chen is even more extraordinary, he is the hope for the revival of Da Qi.
Although this kind of thing was not stated explicitly, everyone could see that since Lu Chen came to power in Da Qi, the national strength had really been flourishing.
Whatever Master Lu takes out can benefit the people of Da Qi. Such an immortal is definitely a treasure.
Now you tell me that such a treasure was snatched away right at your doorstep, right under your nose. Are you kidding me?
"Investigate! Seal the city gates immediately and investigate house by house! Mobilize the Yingtian Prefecture, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple, including the Imperial Guards. I give you three days. If there's no result after three days, bring your heads to me!"
With Li Zhuo's order, the people in the capital of Da Qi finally saw what it meant to let a wild dog out of the pen.
The entire capital was in chaos. Everyone knew that the emperor was very angry this time. If the eldest princess and Master Lu could not be found, there would probably be a lot of deaths.
Zi Yan was also very angry. She stared at the maid and asked, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to take action now? Who took the initiative to do this?"
The maid turned pale with fear and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Saint Maiden, this person is definitely not one of ours. Why would we disobey your orders? Besides, Immortal Master Lu is currently cooperating with us happily. There is absolutely no need for us to rush into action."
"And even if they did, there's no need to capture the princess as well. Why would they capture such a burden?"
Zi Yan was so angry that she kicked over the stool next to her and said, "You bastards, investigate! Mobilize all our forces to investigate. I want to know who did this. If I find out, I will tear them into pieces!"
As soon as Zi Yan finished speaking, she heard a noisy noise coming from downstairs. The brothel's madam exclaimed, "Hey, gentlemen, please be merciful. These are all distinguished guests. You can't disturb them. No, the third floor is Miss Zi Yan's room. What are you doing?"
Zi Yan's brows twitched wildly. Why was she so angry? Firstly, it was because she really didn't do it, someone had intercepted it in advance.
Secondly, if something like this happens, she will definitely be implicated and the government will definitely come to investigate her.
It was Lu Chen who was with her just now. She was taken away as soon as she went out. It would be unreasonable not to arrest her and interrogate her.
The maid looked at Zi Yan nervously and said, "Lady Saint, you go first. I'll cover your retreat!"
Zi Yan glared at the maid and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We didn't do it, why are we running away?"
"But our identities are questionable after all. What if something is found out? Besides, the Saint Lady's precious body cannot be treated so rudely by these soldiers."
"Be patient, notify our people immediately and have the brothel owners come up with a plan. I also want to take this opportunity to find out what intelligence the authorities have. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"
"Listen carefully! Get our people moving and investigate! We must find out who is so reckless as to disrupt our plans!"
Zi Yan had confidence in what she said. She and Lu Chen had just reached a cooperation intention, and Lu Chen had even professionally signed a contract with her.
Zi Yan didn't take this contract seriously at that time, but now it has become her life-saving straw.
