Everyone present knew that the enemy had just suffered a defeat and would not take any action for the time being.
But if His Highness doesn't return soon, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep it secret for long.
Lu Chen looked worried: "Where will His Highness go?"
There were no signs of a struggle in the house.
His Highness even left the wooden bowl he carried with him in the room.
This made him really unable to understand why the prince disappeared alone without leaving a single word.
Lu Chen raised his head through the door and looked at the blue sky.
God, I hope you can protect your highness and return safely.
The news of Xiao Jingzhou's disappearance has been heavily blocked.
The civil officials knew nothing about it, and only a few military generals knew about it.
...
...
Zhou Shuyun went to the garment factory with a natural demeanor so as not to let outsiders notice anything.
Gu Zhenbei summoned Yang Jin and Qi Hou to discuss matters in a side hall in the inner courtyard of the government office.
"What do you mean His Highness is missing?"
Upon hearing the news, Yang Jin rushed to Gu Zhenbei.
Gu Zhenbei concealed the matter of the wooden bowl and only revealed the fact that he discovered Xiao Jingzhou had disappeared.
Yang Jin felt unwell.
He sat down with his arms and legs stretched out, unable to vent the nameless anger in his heart, and could only slap his thigh hard.
Gu Zhenbei said in a deep voice: "The enemy is watching closely, and we must urgently find His Highness, but we cannot let anyone know, or it may bring disaster to His Highness."
After a long while, Yang Jin slowly nodded: "This is the only way for now."
He raised his eyes again, his expression serious and determined: "Leave this matter to me, I will definitely find Your Highness!"
After saying that, Yang Jin took Qi Hou out the door.
Qi Hou chased after him and said, "General, His Highness suddenly disappeared. Is it related to the imperial edict?"
This sentence instantly reminded Yang Jin that he had locked up Zhang Da and Eunuch Wang and had not given them food or water for several days, and he didn't know whether they had starved to death or not.
What if there is more than one group of people from the capital coming to Zhiyi City?
Yang Jin turned and walked in another direction: "Let's go!"
The two men came to a house, which was guarded by soldiers with knives.
"Open the door." Qi Hou ordered.
The soldier removed the lock and pushed the door open.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and light suddenly shone into the house, revealing the entire cramped room.
"Water, give me water."
"Give me something to eat. If you treat me like this, the nobles in the capital will punish you!"
Zhang Da and Eunuch Wang were lying on the ground, extremely hungry.
Especially Eunuch Wang, in order to maintain his figure, he would not and could not eat too much every day.
Unexpectedly, Yang Jin was so bold as to imprison the two of them in a shabby house, leaving them helpless even though they cried out to heaven or earth.
Not even a drop of water or a grain of rice.
Yang Jin asked someone to bring two steamed buns and two bowls of water into the house.
The two people lying on the ground had green light in their eyes when they saw the food.
The tasteless food seemed like a feast to the two of them.
The steamed bun was not big and was eaten up in no time.
The door was closed and an oil lamp was lit inside the house.
In the dim environment, there were only four people left in the house.
Yang Jin sat on the bench and whispered, "This general received a secret letter saying that someone wanted to harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and asked this general to protect His Royal Highness's safety.
Eunuch Wang has brought another imperial edict. Who do you think I should believe? ”
Eunuch Wang, who had just been pregnant, was furious when he heard that it was because of the secret letter that he had suffered suffering and humiliation.
"fart!"
"I came all the way from the capital, and several of my horses died.
General Yang didn't believe in the imperial edict, so how could he believe that secret letter? ”
Zhang Da ate the steamed bun so fast that he choked on it. He drank water and beat his chest before he was able to swallow it.
When he heard what Eunuch Wang said, it was too late for him to say anything to stop him, so he could only stare blankly.
After listening to what Eunuch Wang said, Yang Jin fell into deep thought.
After a long while, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
He said: "If it weren't for someone in the capital delivering the letter, this general wouldn't dare to act so rashly.
This matter has not been clarified yet, so you two have to stay here. I hope you can forgive me.
Once I find out the truth, I will execute the criminals who are confusing the public. ”
Eunuch Wang believed what Yang Jin said and smiled a smile that was uglier than crying.
"I believe in the general's ability and must capture him and kill him!"
Yang Jin didn't say anything else and walked out of the house with Qi Hou.
The two men walked out of the yard, and the sound of the lock being locked behind them gradually disappeared.
Qi Hou didn't understand what Yang Jin was saying: "General?"
Yang Jin said: “Your Highness’ disappearance has nothing to do with these two people.
Only one group of people were sent from the capital to Zhiyi City. ”
"What should I do?"
Qi Hou was anxious, so he decided to have some connection. At least he could find the whereabouts of the prince.
Yang Jin whispered, “Listen to General Gu and search in secret.
As for these two men, we will give them a steamed bun and a bowl of water every day to keep them alive.
His Highness has disappeared, maybe they can still be useful. ”
Qi Hou nodded seriously: "Yes."
…
Jiang Zhenyu drove back to the villa, and Xiao Jingzhou moved the large and small packages of things several times.
After taking the elevator to the first floor, Jiang Zhenyu changed into his home shoes, walked quickly to the living room, opened the freezer, and took out two bottles of ice water.
She threw a bottle to Xiao Jingzhou, unscrewed another bottle and drank the whole bottle in one breath.
"Cool!"
Before Xiao Jingzhou met Jiang Zhenyu, he imagined what kind of girl she would be.
When he saw the smart and lively Jiang Zhenyu, the girl in his fantasy and the girl in reality slowly overlapped.
He held the bottle of cold mineral water, and the mist spread in his palm.
He unscrewed the bottle cap and took a few sips to moisten his throat.
Jiang Zhenyu rested for a while and pointed at the shopping bag and gave him instructions.
"This bag is for home wear, you can wear it at home, it's soft and comfortable."
"This is casual wear, it's fine to wear it out."
"These suits are more formal, suitable for attending..."
Jiang Zhenyu stopped talking. In fact, she only needed to buy casual clothes. There were not many occasions to wear a suit.
She turned her head to glance at Xiao Jingzhou. The well-ironed suit on him was so pleasing to the eye.
This money is worth it!
The two took the things into Xiao Jingzhou's room.
As soon as Jiang Zhenyu took a step forward, Xiao Jingzhou wanted to remind her that it was not appropriate for a woman to enter and leave a man's room.
But when he thought that he was the guest and Jiang Zhenyu was the host.
The guest should follow the host's wishes, so he didn't say anything else.
Jiang Zhenyu opened the closet, and as expected, it was empty.
She taught Xiao Jingzhou how to pack his clothes and instructed him to sort and put things away.
The two of them were busy all day and were hungry.
Jiang Zhenyu said, "You can clean up the rest by yourself. I'll go prepare dinner."
Xiao Jingzhou nodded and watched Jiang Zhenyu leave the room.
He spent a long time tidying up the room, looking through the styles of clothes and caressing the fabrics.
"It's the 21st century, even the clothes are so special."
When he turned his head, he saw a set of home clothes. These were the clothes that Miss Jiang had taken out for him to wear at home.
Wear it at home?
Xiao Jingzhou took his clothes and went into the bathroom without thinking.
Soon, the sound of water was heard from the bathroom.
Jiang Zhenyu went downstairs and called for help, but heard no response.
She guessed that the villa had good sound insulation, so she quickly walked upstairs and into Xiao Jingzhou's room.
The room door was not closed, but there was water sound in the bathroom.
Jiang Zhenyu didn't move forward and was about to leave the room.
As she turned around, a shrill voice came from behind her.
