For a long time, Lin Mo was so angry that he couldn't speak.
He walked from one side of the room to the other, turned around, and walked back, his face dark with anger.
He then grabbed the inkstone from the table on the floor and angrily threw it at He Xiao.
The Venerable Master of Xuanhua Palace dodged it.
"Are you a pig?" Lin Mo shouted. "Are all the disciples of Xuanhua Palace pigs?"
He Xiao stood there, being thoroughly scolded, but dared not refute.
"Such a grown man, just gone like that? Gone right under your nose!" Lin Mo continued to curse. "I need an explanation, a reasonable explanation!"
Early in the morning, his subordinates reported that Zhao Zhilan was missing.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Mo nearly fainted from shock.
Princess Daxia simply vanished, right under Lin Mo's nose in the palace.
Given the current situation, if anything were to happen to Zhao Zhilan, the consequences would be far more serious than just a minor issue.
If it falls into the hands of an enemy country, they could simply put up banners, enthrone Zhao Zhilan as emperor (a puppet), and avenge Wei Maozhen.
That would lead to a situation where armies clash.
“Your Highness, it must have been done by Dongpan Ge’s spies,” He Xiao announced.
"Dongpango?" Lin Mo thought angrily, "These idiots live a carefree life on Earth. Do they have ninjas in this world?"
“Your Highness, the Lone Wolf Organization’s members are just as skilled as those from Xuanhua Palace,” He Xiao explained.
"Lone Wolf? Not a ninja village!" Lin Mo sneered. "Are you admitting you're inferior to them? You told me it was harder than assassinating Wei Maozhen when you asked me to save Guo Wenlong's wife and daughter? Please explain further!"
He Xiao became anxious. "Your Highness, I have already said that Her Highness is definitely still in the palace."
"Then hurry up and go find it, stop whining!" Lin Mo was in a bad mood. "Get out, or I'll kill you."
He Xiao immediately turned and left. Yao Guangxiao was about to follow when Lin Mo called out to him, "Guangxiao, don't go!"
Yao Guangxiao turned around and saw Lin Mo pick up his wine glass, fill it with wine, and then gulp it down.
"Guangxiao, to be honest, the position of regent is very difficult to hold!"
"Your Highness, why don't you hand over power to the new emperor, and then we can retire to the countryside?"
"You damned monk, I didn't tell you to talk back!" Lin Mo almost laughed in anger. "Damn it, I'm your master! Can't you concentrate on listening when I'm speaking? Reply properly?"
Yao Guangxiao smiled. "What are you troubled by?" he asked. "Who was that person just now? Oh, the Lord of Xuanhua Palace. As far as I know, Xuanhua Palace is the world's top assassin organization."
The dignified Master of Xuanhua Palace was scolded mercilessly by you, yet still obediently did things for you.
"Hehe, Your Highness, this is a miracle that hasn't happened in thousands of years!"
"This..." Lin Mo was stunned for a few seconds, "It seems so. I cursed the Xuanhua Palace Master like I was cursing a dog!"
No, I need to be gentler next time.
“But Zhao Zhilan was kidnapped by that bunch of bastards!” Lin Mo said. “If this isn’t He Xiao’s fault, whose fault is it?”
In this situation, it's obvious to everyone that Zhao Zhilan went with the other party voluntarily, but the truth cannot be revealed.
“Your Highness, are your Nightmare Cavalry in control? Or your Imperial Guards? Or someone else?” Yao Guangxiao said. “Moreover, Her Highness was abducted while using the restroom!”
Yeah, you can't expect someone to stand in front of you and watch you every time you go to the toilet.
"Your Highness, since this has already happened, let's not dwell on whose fault it is. The key is how to bring the person back," Yao Guangxiao continued.
Lin Mo felt exhausted whenever the Nightmare Cavalry was mentioned.
These guys are ridiculously strong, but the system treats all "people" fairly.
For example, Xu Chu was incredibly skilled, but not very bright.
To put it simply, the system didn't install sound cards for these guys...
They can't speak!
All they know how to do is help Lin Mo kill people; they can't do anything else!
Left with no other choice, he had to let He Xiao's men guard him.
Lin Mo thought at the time, "Surely the people in Xuanhua Palace can keep an eye on everyone."
"I have already ordered the entire palace to be sealed off, and three of the four city gates of the capital have been closed," Lin Mo said with a frown. "There will be a curfew tonight, and my soldiers will search house to house."
Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we have to find him.
“That’s right, don’t rush things!” Yao Guangxiao said. “But I must remind you, if you can’t find anyone before your wedding, things will get complicated.”
“I already know that!” Lin Mo said.
The wedding of the Regent of the Great Xia Dynasty was an incredibly complicated affair.
Welcome, wedding ceremony, court audience, returning home, wedding banquet.
In this situation, Lin Mo still has to summon the new emperor to receive his and his officials' blessings.
With so many things to do and such a grand affair, it means that the entire capital will be in chaos.
Dong Pan Ge's spies could take advantage of the chaos and smuggle Zhao Zhilan away from the capital.
"Annoying, annoying!" Lin Mo shouted.
~~~
Zhao Zhilan crouched down against a damp stone wall in the dark and waited quietly.
The person who called himself Saizo said he had gone to scout ahead and told her to rest here for a while.
In the darkness, she could hear her own heartbeat and the distant dripping of water. "Silent as a shadow," she told herself.
The tunnel she is currently in is a secret passage built by the ancestors of the Zhao family, which leads directly to the outside of the palace.
Only the descendants of the Zhao family knew about this secret passage.
Zhao Zhilan also learned this from the deceased crown prince without any prior knowledge.
She realized it was dark here, so she hugged herself tightly and started to tremble.
