Seeing that he hadn't said anything further for a long time, Li Xinzhai pressed on, "That's all?"
Mo Yu glanced at him and grinned, "No more."
Li Xinzhai slapped himself on the forehead. "Is he really gone, or is he just pretending? You've gotten yourself into this state, and this is all you're asking?"
Mo Yu looked up at everyone in the room and explained, "They were just following orders. They didn't even know where to take the person after successfully abducting him. Besides, the person is already dead."
Li Xinzhai questioned, "You haven't gotten any information yet, how could you kill someone?"
What Mo Yu feared least was Li Xinzhai losing his temper. The reason was simple. He had already received approval from others before taking action, so if anyone was to blame, it shouldn't be him. "Didn't the prince say that only useful clues are needed? Since he's no longer useful, keeping him around would just be a waste of food."
Yan Shaoqing lowered his brows and thought for a moment before saying, "If I remember correctly, the painting screen seemed to have left a note about Tianshu Tower here with Tang Chen."
Before anyone could finish their words, Li Xinzhai seemed to have thought of something. Without saying a word, he turned around and started to leave. Mo Yu took a few steps back and blocked his way. "Where are you going?"
Li Xinzhai just said that he was going to be a famous detective and left quickly. Although Mo Yu didn't know what he wanted to do, he still followed him happily.
Only when the sound of their footsteps faded into the silent night did Zhong Qin slowly breathe a sigh of relief and say, "Master, this Mo Yu is indeed as dangerous as the intelligence said. When we were together before, I thought the intelligence was wrong. Look at him just now, I haven't been so scared even on the battlefield."
Mo Yu was still a complete stranger to Yan Shaoqing. When he first met him, his first reaction was that he might be Tang Chen's new friend. Looking back, it seemed like he was following Li Xinzhai. "What's this guy's background? Do you know anything about him?"
Let alone them, Wang Yanzhou was also frightened by Mo Yu's murderous aura. However, the entire route was in need of men, and based solely on his achievements on the battlefield today, he had to keep this dangerous man. "Don't employ a man you doubt, and trust a man you employ. Achen and Xinzhai both trust him, and he has helped us a lot along the way. As long as his behavior doesn't go beyond the norm, his background and so on are not a big deal."
Yan Shaoqing nodded slightly and said, "If you think it's okay, then it's fine. It's getting late, I'm going back to the palace first, please keep the place for me."
Wang Yanzhou smiled slightly and replied, "I'm keeping it. By the way, I'm afraid I can't go back tonight. Can you help me check on Achen before you go to bed?"
"Well, I'll be leaving first."
...After Yan Shaoqing returned home, he saw that the lights in Tang Chen's courtyard were still on, so he went over and sat with her for a while before returning to his room to rest.
After Yan Shaoqing left, Lian Qiao saw that it was getting late, so she took out the abortion-preserving medicine that she had been keeping warm and said, "Madam, it's almost time. Take the medicine and go to bed early."
"Yes, right away. I'll just give her two more injections." As she spoke, Tang Chen put down her needlework and drank the dark bowl of abortion-preserving medicine in one gulp. After sucking on a candied fruit, she continued to carefully embroider the pattern on the small dress in her hands. Having something to do helped her think less about the random thoughts that made her feel dazed all day.
Lian Qiao couldn't persuade Tang Chen, so she turned around and put another lamp on the table. Tang Chen was busy doing needlework, while she was reading the storybooks that Chun Zai Tang had sent her.
Maybe it was because he had been sitting for too long or something, but a cool breeze blew in from outside. Tang Chen seemed to have caught a cold and felt groggy. "Lian Qiao, why am I feeling a little dizzy..."
Before she could finish her words, Tang Chen rolled her eyes and fell backwards. Lian Qiao saw this and rushed over to support her: "Madam, what's wrong with you!"
Tang Chen reached out to grab Lian Qiao in a trance. Just as she was about to touch the shadows' true forms, she thought she saw someone suddenly appear behind Lian Qiao. Before she could see the person's appearance clearly, Tang Chen's vision went dark and she lost consciousness.
When Tang Chen woke up, she was curled up in a small space, her hands and feet tied with wet hemp ropes, and even her mouth was blocked with a handkerchief that was not sure if it was clean or not. At this moment, Tang Chen's first reaction was: Oh no, this familiar feeling, was I kidnapped?
Tang Chen tried hard to recall everything that happened when she fainted. Although she remembered a lot, it was useless. Based on her experience, the thing that trapped her was most likely a box.
Tang Chen tried to mobilize all her brain cells to think of countermeasures, but as the old saying goes, pregnancy makes people stupid for three years. After a long time, she couldn't think of any good ideas except to calm herself down...
A truck carefully left Qingliang Valley along a newly opened forest path, winding its way through the valley. Suddenly, a discordant noise filled the previously quiet cargo box. The middle-aged man driving the truck poked the man dozing in the back and whispered, "Fifth Brother, he seems to be awake."
Song Wu squinted his eyes, yawned, and patted the box. He said, "Don't worry about her. She can't get away. As long as we leave Qingliang County, our mission will be completed."
Although Tang Chen was locked in a box, his hearing was fine. Hearing the two men chatting confidently and leisurely, he thought to himself that something was wrong, and the force of his kicks on the box became stronger and stronger.
Song Wu patted the box lightly and said with a smile: "Princess, don't waste your energy. No matter how much you struggle, no one will notice you. Save your energy."
Song Xiaoqi calculated the time. This person had been stuffed in the box for quite a while, and had been making a fuss inside for a while. If it continued for too long, he was afraid that something might happen. He looked at Song Wu and suggested, "Brother Wu, why don't we stop and rest for a while, let her breathe. If she gets suffocated, it will be more trouble than good."
Song Wu agreed quickly: "Okay, then give her some cartilage powder to loosen it up. After all, she is a precious princess, she can't stand such torture, hahahaha."
"Okay!"
Tang Chen heard the conversation between the two clearly, so when he waited for someone to open the box, he didn't make a fuss. He waited until the rag gagged his mouth was removed before he knelt on the ground without any ambition. "Wait a minute, my two good men, we can discuss something!"
The two brothers smiled at each other and said, "Madam, you are the one being kidnapped now. What else do you want to discuss with us?"
