Chapter 120 No trace of the princess was found
Only Princess Danyang and a few of her confidants knew that Pei Wuyou was going to take Princess Tangning back to Wei State, while most of the envoys knew nothing about it.
Therefore, the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only made them terrified.
Hasn't the treaty been signed?
You've given us the city, but you still won't let His Highness the Ninth Prince leave?
You can't be so shameless as to take the benefits and then keep everyone here. With such credibility, I'm afraid that people all over the world will despise you!
"Hand over my Princess Da Ling." Ling Zhuoan spoke in a loud voice so that the nervous people on both sides could hear it clearly.
Who? Princess Daling?
Who kidnapped their Princess Daling?
Isn't this just looking for trouble?
"What are you talking about, Prince? My Wei State is exchanging cities for hostages. What does the Princess Da Ling you mentioned have to do with us?" Pei Yiru lifted the curtain of the carriage, her eyes slightly raised, not at all weak.
"What did the Ninth Prince do? Princess, don't you know?"
Ling Zhuoan felt uneasy for some reason. He didn't have the patience to waste time talking to them, so he rode his horse directly to the carriage behind Princess Danyang.
Before he could do anything to the carriage, a lazy male voice came from inside. It sounded like he had just woken up, and he yawned while speaking.
"Why did you stop suddenly? Sister, why do I vaguely hear the voice of the Crown Prince of Ling?"
Pei Wuyou's voice was filled with doubt, as if he had no idea Ling Zhuoan was coming.
Ling Zhuoan was impatient and suddenly lifted the car curtain.
Pei Wuyou's suicidal face appeared in front of him.
However, he was alone.
"Where is the person?" Ling Zhuoan's chest heaved violently. He suddenly drew out his sword and approached Pei Wuyou's neck.
"Oh, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please calm down. So many people are watching here. Are you going to break the promise and kill your brother?" Princess Danyang said hurriedly.
Even when two countries are at war, they do not kill envoys, let alone when the two countries are negotiating peace. If Ling Zhuoan kills Pei Wuyou for no reason, it would be a betrayal and despised by the people of the world. If it provokes disputes between the two countries, he will be a sinner to the people of both countries.
If he had any sense at all, he shouldn't have attacked Pei Wuyou.
Ling Zhuoan looked around again and again, but indeed did not see Ling Qingyan.
It started to drizzle.
As if the rain had brought back some of his sanity, Ling Zhuoan retracted the sword in his hand.
He took a deep breath, as if to call back the crown prince who was burdened with a heavy responsibility, and said, "I shouldn't bother the delegation, but my sister is missing, and I'm deeply worried. If Your Highness didn't do this, I might as well conduct a thorough search. This will also clear the delegation's suspicions."
Pei Wuyou took the imperial sister away. Judging from the little wolf cub's thoughts, Pei Wuyou would stay with the imperial sister.
"Okay, Your Highness, go ahead and search. The rain is getting heavier. The sooner you finish searching, the easier it will be for us to get on with our journey." Pei Wuyou raised the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile on his face.
The guards beside him were worried about His Highness.
Fortunately, Princess Tangning was considerate of His Highness and thought of this step in advance. Otherwise, with the prince's keenness, His Highness would be in great danger.
Seeing Pei Wuyou's attitude, Ling Zhuoan felt something was wrong. He clenched his fists, veins bulged on his arms, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.
He still said to the guards, "Search carefully!"
The guards of the Eastern Palace received the order and took action immediately.
The sound of rain hitting leaves and the convoy rolling around were so clear in everyone's ears.
Pei Wuyou remained seated in the car, watching Ling Zhuo'an getting wet in the rain. He even gave his subordinates a pretentious order, "Why are you all so clueless? Even though His Highness suddenly caused trouble and delayed us on the road, you can't fail to get an umbrella for His Highness the Crown Prince."
"After all, this umbrella was prepared by your country's Ministry of Rites for this weather. It can be said to be quite thoughtful. Now, it has also benefited Your Highness."
A guard took the umbrella and held it over the prince.
"Your Highness, no trace of the princess has been found." The guard reported.
They had already turned the mission upside down and were just about to take off the wheels to take a look.
But Princess Tangning was never found.
Ling Zhuoan's face was gloomy, even darker than the gray clouds.
Can’t find it? Why can’t you find it?
If Pei Wuyou kidnapped the imperial sister, how could it be possible that Pei Wuyou is here and Qingyan is not here?
Did I guess wrong?
It's impossible. Where in Qingyan can one find a top assassin who is proficient in disguise and good at ventriloquism?
If the assassin had not been cautious and had nothing on his body to prove that he was sent by the Wei State, Ling Zhuoan would not have been so unjustified.
It can't be such a coincidence. This assassin must be Pei Wuyou. He is the only one who has such an opportunity today.
"I wonder if His Royal Highness has searched enough? The princess has disappeared, and instead of sending people everywhere to search for her, His Royal Highness is raising suspicions about the envoys?"
"The prince made such a misjudgment that I'm afraid we won't be able to find him even if we want to." Pei Wuyou said sarcastically.
He wasn't in a good mood either.
He had just woken up the moment the prince arrived. When he woke up and saw the envoy next to him, he understood everything. However, the duration of the drug was not short, and if he turned back now, he could not go back.
Pei Wuyou couldn't figure it out at first, but now he figured it out.
My sister never thought of going with him from the beginning.
She just wanted to use this force to escape from the capital.
She didn't want to stay with the prince, nor did she want to stay with him.
But he doesn't understand.
He has promised again and again that he will not force his sister to do anything she doesn't like. How can his sister not believe him?
Pei Wuyou was torn between his conscience and his desires.
Finally, before the prince left, he was stopped.
"My sister often told me that she wanted to visit Wuxi Mountain. Maybe she wants to travel and enjoy the scenery, but we don't know yet." Pei Wuyou closed his eyes tightly, and his eyelids were trembling.
Does he want his sister to stay with Ling Zhuoan?
No, he doesn't want to.
But my sister was trying to get away from everyone.
If his sister really left Wuxi Mountain, she would leave them completely, and Pei Wuyou would probably never see her again.
He is not stupid. He knows what his sister wants and how to satisfy her.
But he was scared.
He couldn't accept that he would never see his sister again.
If Ling Zhuoan finds his sister, he will go back to Wei State. After he has dealt with a lot of things in Wei State, they will definitely meet again.
But if my sister really lets go so quietly and successfully.
He can't do it.
I'm sorry, sister.
I'm more afraid of losing you.
Ling Zhuoan's heart trembled, and he looked at Pei Wuyou with a meaningful look.
They are all smart people. Ling Zhuoan combined many unreasonable points to get today's result.
"Let him go." Ling Zhuoan took a deep breath.
Then there was another cloud of dust, the rain became heavier, tears wet my clothes and eyelashes, and occasionally there were thunder and lightning in the sky.
Time was running out, and he had already made a mistake once. Because of the cloudy sky, the night came especially early today, and Ling Zhuoan didn't dare to delay even a minute.
The sky was dark, flames shot up into the sky from Wuxi Mountain, and all the exits of the mountain were sealed.
"Princess! Princess!"
The calls echoed through the mountains.
The weather today was not very good, and even though Ling Zhuoan was angry, it disappeared.
There are wild animals roaming in the mountains, and the heavy rain has made the mountain roads muddy.
In such weather, where does Ling Qingyan get the courage to walk alone on the mountain road?
At this moment, he wished Ling Qingyan had followed Pei Wuyou.
He nervously took out the amulet from his pocket.
That was what they prayed for together in the temple that day.
He is not angry about anything now, he just hopes that his imperial sister is safe and sound.
A guard was in such a state of disarray that he knelt at the prince's feet, tumbling and crawling, and said nervously:
"Your Highness, it seems...it seems that the princess's body has been found."
