Mu Run picked him up and ran away immediately.
Manager Yang gathered everyone in the village and asked them to put aside their work for the time being and go find Huanhuan.
Mu Run carried Huanhuan to the dock.
Redmi has received a notice that now, not only ships at the dock, but also passing ships must stop for search and can only leave after the dock is reopened.
Mu Run arrived in a panic, carrying Tuan Tuan in her arms.
Hongmi looked at the mother and son and comforted them, "Don't worry, I will definitely find Huanhuan."
Yao Yao came over when she heard the news. "Sister Run, how is it?"
Mu Run shook his head. "Tuan Tuan pointed in the direction of the dock, so I came over. These two kids have had a telepathic connection since they were little. If one of them cries loudly, the other will definitely know. If one of them is injured, the other will feel the pain in the same injured place."
"Then..." Hongmi looked at Tuantuan and coaxed softly, "Tuantuan, tell Aunt Hong, is Huanhuan alright now?"
Tuantuan nodded. "She's stopped crying."
...
Fifteen minutes before the dock was sealed off.
A man and a woman, dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes and carrying a large bundle, boarded a three-story ship that had just docked.
The people on the ship were about to disembark, and the one in the lead was a noble young man dressed in a white fitted robe, with phoenix eyes, thin lips, and a small face that was more exquisite and beautiful than a woman's.
The man stepped forward, swiftly drew a short knife from his sleeve, and held it to the young nobleman's neck, ordering the others, "Sail to Xiangcheng immediately! Or I'll kill him!"
Everyone was unmoved, looking at the man as if he were a dying man.
One of the masked men, who came out of the cabin a step later, saw this scene, crossed his arms and laughed, "What courage!"
The young nobleman scoffed, "Ziwu, you just want to watch me have a knife to my throat?"
"He's got a good physique too." Zi Wu continued to sized up the man who was holding a knife to the young nobleman.
Finally, the man got so angry with them that he yelled, "Will you open it or I'll really kill him!"
The young nobleman's dark, phoenix-shaped eyes, as dark as if veiled in mist, turned to the bundle the woman was carrying.
A small braid peeked out from the corner that wasn't fully covered.
"Set sail," the young nobleman ordered.
Ziwu was somewhat surprised, but seeing the interest in the young master's eyes, he knew that he had other ideas.
So they went back to the cabin, weighed anchor, and set sail.
Shortly after the ship left the dock, Hongmi received orders to seal off the dock and immediately prohibit all ships from leaving. Not far away, a large ship had just departed, and a hint of suspicion flashed in Hongmi's eyes…
After the group entered the cabin, the man who had kidnapped the young master suddenly stared blankly, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, his short knife falling to the ground with a metallic sound.
When the woman saw the man fall, she immediately grabbed her bundle and ran outside, without even checking whether he was dead or alive.
Zi Wu appeared mysteriously behind her, a long sword resting against her neck.
"Be honest, answer whatever I ask." He then snatched the bundle from her hands.
The woman looked at the bundle, a hint of anxiety flashing in her eyes. "Who exactly are you people?"
The young nobleman walked up to her and suddenly smiled.
The woman's eyes went vacant for a moment, and she lost all self-awareness.
"Who are you? What's in your bundle?" The young nobleman's voice was pleasant to hear, but it sent a chill down one's spine.
The woman opened her mouth blankly and replied, "The Dark Crow of the Imperial Censorate of the Central Jin Dynasty, the bundle contains the daughter of the Prince of Chongyang."
"The daughter of the Prince of Chongyang?" The young nobleman's eyes suddenly lit up with an astonishing brightness.
Zi Wu sheathed his sword and opened his bundle.
Inside was Huanhuan, curled up unconscious, her small brows furrowed, revealing her inner unease.
Besides her, there was also a roll of coarse cloth bedding.
After throwing away the bedding, Ziwu picked up Huanhuan and walked to the young nobleman. "The daughter of the Prince of Chongyang, that must be the prince's niece."
"Hehe, yes. Brother will be very happy to see me this time." The young nobleman took Huanhuan from his arms and looked at her features. "Huh? She looks like Grandma!"
"Oh?" Ziwu glanced at Huanhuan again. "I heard that Her Majesty the Queen is the most beautiful woman in the Witch Clan."
Remove the words "I heard".
"...Yes, the number one beauty."
"I'd better not go looking for my brother. I like her." The young nobleman smiled and said, "Let her stay with me in my brother's place."
"I'm afraid the Prince of Chongyang won't agree," Ziwu said worriedly.
As they were talking, the woman's eyes gradually cleared, and she turned and ran outside.
The young nobleman looked up at her, parted his lips slightly, and spat out an insect with golden wings, shaped like a dragonfly, which chased after the woman with lightning speed.
The woman jumped into the water, and it flew into the water as well... A moment later, a stream of blood gushed to the surface, followed by a skeleton bobbing up and down with the current before finally sinking to the bottom.
The golden insect flew out of the water and returned to the young master's side. After circling once, it landed on the man on the ground and then burrowed into his eyes. In no time, the man's flesh disappeared like melting snow, leaving only bones and a pool of blood.
After the golden worm finished eating, it flew into the young master's sleeve and disappeared.
Ziwu ordered his men to clean the cabin and said regretfully, "It's a bit of a pity; this physique could have made him a decent ghost soldier."
...
They searched the entire Chongyang Mountain area but couldn't find Huanhuan. However, someone saw a strange couple carrying a large bundle heading to the dock.
Hongmi remembered the ship that had left the dock earlier and said to Lao Yang, "I think there's a suspicious ship we can chase after and look for."
"Go find it right away," Old Yang said to Hongmi.
Hongmi, along with the boatmen who worked at the dock and had also seen that multi-story ship, who were also warriors from Bianyun Village, prepared to chase after it quickly in a fast boat.
Once on the ship, Hongmi discovered that Murun had already boarded with Tuantuan.
“I’ll go too.” Mu Run had a gut feeling that Huanhuan had already left Chongyang Mountain, and she couldn’t just sit there and wait to die.
Hongmi looked at her, then nodded to the boatman, "Let's go."
"If we catch up, you must wait on the boat; you cannot disembark."
"Okay." Mu Run agreed verbally, but once she found that ship, she would not be willing to wait.
Even the fastest boat took some time, and after asking around along the way to determine the direction of the ship, they finally caught up with it at Jingyu River.
Fu Yunchen, who was in Xiangcheng, also received a message from Flying Eagle of Bianyun Village, informing him that Huanhuan had been kidnapped. At the same time, he also learned from Dark Raven, who had infiltrated the Central Jin Imperial Cult, that the Central Jin Imperial Cult had sent two Dark Ravens into Chongyang Mountain.
When the two pieces of news came together, Fu Yunchen was furious.
He said to Qiao Dongzi, "We will act at midnight tonight, Imperial Censorate!"
Qiao Dongzi's whole body blazed with murderous intent. "Damn it, I've wanted to teach these bastards a lesson for a long time."
