Chapter 374 Setting a trap

"People from Mobei?"

The Queen Dowager was startled and her face changed drastically.

"If the emperor was really captured by those people from Mobei, the other party must want to use the emperor to seize Beiling. What can we do?"

Seeing the Queen Dowager's panic, An Yunxi comforted her: "Don't worry too much, Queen Dowager. The prince will definitely find a way to rescue the emperor."

An Yunxi felt that it was not unfair to put the blame on Mobei.

If the envoys from Mobei had not come to Beiling with the intention of provoking Beiling and triggering a war between the two countries, the Marquis of Anguo would not have led the garrisons in the surrounding cities to Mobei, so that the defense of the imperial city is now empty.

An Yunxi talked about this with Ling Fengxun, and Ling Fengxun also felt that Mobei was indeed not free from the connection.

If Mobei really had some secret deal with the little emperor, this action could also sow discord and turn Mobei and the little emperor's people against each other.

Overnight, everyone knew that the emperor was missing.

Beiling Kingdom immediately fell into a state of strict alert, and Ling Fengxun arranged a lot of people to search for the little emperor's whereabouts openly.

With such a high-profile action, the news spread quickly.

Inside Changlu Mountain.

The steep valley, with cliffs on both sides like knives and axes, piercing the sky. The

surrounding mountains are endless, and at first glance they look like a long dragon, with deep forests and few people. Even hunters rarely go into such deep mountains and old forests to hunt.

No one knows that in the deepest part of this valley, there is a military camp hidden.

"General Liu, there is a secret letter!"

Inside the largest military tent in the valley, a messenger immediately handed the letter in his hand to the tall man sitting at the back of the tent.

The man, dressed in shiny armor, sat on a chair with a broad sword and axe in hand, and tore open the letter.

When he saw the content inside, his eyes shrank instantly.

The deputy general standing on the side saw that General Liu's expression changed, and hurriedly asked: "General, what happened?"

General Liu handed the secret letter to the deputy general standing next to him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and an ugly look appeared on his somewhat rough face.

"The emperor is in trouble."

"The emperor?"

The deputy general was startled and hurriedly unfolded the letter.

After reading the news, his expression changed obviously: "It is said that the people of Mobei have kidnapped the emperor as a hostage because the previous peace talks failed!"

This General Liu is a confidant secretly cultivated by the old emperor.

The late emperor Ling Fengche once saved his life, so Liu Tong chose to be loyal to him.

Now that the emperor is dead, he must naturally assist the new emperor according to the order of the late emperor.

These troops were given to him to lead because the late emperor trusted him. He must follow the late emperor's will and take back the imperial power that belongs to the new emperor!

General Liu pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowed coldly, and he said in a cold voice: "The palace is heavily guarded. The emperor was kidnapped under such circumstances. It is very likely a fraud!"

The deputy general was not stupid. When General Liu said this, he understood it immediately.

"General, you mean that the emperor's disappearance was planned by the regent?"

General Liu frowned even deeper.

He stood up and grabbed the long sword beside him, with an extremely cold expression on his face.

"Yes."

Hearing the general's affirmative answer, the deputy general's face showed anger: "How dare the regent do this? Isn't it obvious that he wants to lure us into the trap? Since the general has seen through their layout, he must not fall into the trap of the regent!"

However, the deputy general's words did not make General Liu's expression much less relaxed, and even became more serious.

He replied in a low voice: "The regent has not concealed his intentions, and it is very likely that he deliberately let us know his purpose, just to force us to take the initiative to find him and save the emperor!"

Liu Tong saw through the calculation at a glance.

The group of people in Mobei had been captured by Ling Fengxun a long time ago, and there were not many of his men left in the Beiling Kingdom. How could they organize a group of masters to kidnap the emperor so quickly?

The Regent is a meticulous person. Without his permission, the emperor would not be taken away in public.

What a cruel Regent. Even if he knew it was a conspiracy, he forced them to rescue him!

Ling Fengxun was not afraid of Ling Changyue's death, but they were.

After the news that the people of Mobei had kidnapped the emperor spread, even if Ling Changyue was killed, it would not be Ling Fengxun's fault.

"Why attack the imperial city? Without the emperor, even if we take down the imperial city, it is useless. Immediately reorganize the army, find the emperor as soon as possible, and then follow this general to rescue the emperor!"

The matter was exposed, and they had already lost the initiative

. The location of this battle was arranged in another deep mountain far away from Changlu Mountain.

At this time, Ling Changyue, who was used as bait, opened his eyes drowsily.

The sunlight was a little dazzling, and he felt his whole head became foggy. He had no idea how long he had been asleep.

Suddenly, a familiar voice seemed to come from his ear.

The voice seemed to linger in his ears as if in a dream.

He immediately looked in the direction where the voice came from. Ling Changyue widened his eyes in surprise and saw a heroic figure standing in front of him under the shade of the tree.

An Yunxi!

Ling Changyue's eyes trembled, and his eyes clearly reflected her face.

The woman in front of him suddenly appeared, wearing a black dress with narrow sleeves and a waist, outlining her slender waist.

Her black hair was tied up high, fixed only with an ancient jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair fluttered in the wind.

Her face was extremely beautiful, her eyebrows were like distant black, her eyes were like cold stars, her lips were red without any makeup, and there was a faint smile on the corners of her slightly raised mouth.

He was almost stunned subconsciously, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and notice where he was.

This was actually a mountaintop!

Ling Changyue moved his body and found that his hands and feet were all tied up. His face changed suddenly, and there was a little more fear in his eyes when he looked at An Yunxi.

"Where is this place?"

Hearing Ling Changyue's question, An Yunxi turned her eyes away from him and turned to look at the cliff not far away.

The wind on the top of the mountain was very strong, blowing through her hair, making her hair scattered on her cheeks flying.

She gently raised the corners of her lips and said lightly: "The prince said that this place is called Yunxia Mountain."

Ling Changyue didn't know where Yunxia Mountain was at all.

But he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

He raised his eyes gently and saw that there was no one else around. Ling Changyue felt a little lucky in his heart: "Yunxi, did you send someone to take me out of the palace? If you have anything to say, let's talk it over. Help me untie the rope first."

He looked at An Yunxi's delicate profile with some doubt.

The beauty was in front of him, but he was no longer in the mood to appreciate her.

No matter how stupid he was, he knew something was wrong!
