Xie Zhi was still holding the rope on the mask in his hand.
He quickly tied the rope and ran towards Yuan Yao: "Little Yao!"
However, there were just too many people!
Suddenly, for some reason, everyone started running this way!
In her dizzy disorientation, Yuan Yao had lost count of how far she had been pushed along by the surging crowd...
Her legs were too short; everyone around her was taller than her.
She stood up, but couldn't see Xie Zhi anywhere.
Fortunately, while the people around her were running away, they didn't step on her.
If a stampede were to occur, her small body could be crushed into a meat patty...
Yuan Yao panicked: "Xie Zhi! Xie Zhi, where are you?"
Suddenly, a dark figure crept over and picked her up: "Are you alright?"
The sound of the broken moon was as cold as ever.
The cold, hard embrace brought me immense peace of mind.
Along with him appeared Remnant Wind.
Yuan Yao finally calmed down and asked, "Where are Canfeng, Poyue, and Xie Zhi? What happened? Why is everyone running this way?"
Po Yue: "..."
With so many questions, which one should he answer first?
I simply didn't answer any of them.
Po Yue coldly replied, "I don't know."
"I don't know?" Yuan Yao drawled out.
This damn moon is truly clueless!
She frowned: "Canfeng, you should know, shouldn't you?"
Canfeng then replied, "Your Highness, I do not know either. I only paid attention to Your Highness and did not notice anything else."
Yuan Yao: "..."
Her two bodyguards truly traded their fighting prowess for their intelligence.
well!
If she doesn't get into trouble, but someone else does, then the entire Emperor Qianlong will be implicated!
If the Ninth Prince knew that she didn't obediently return to Qianhua Palace, but instead caused trouble outside the palace, he would be very disappointed.
She didn't want to disappoint her father...
Yuan Yao asked coldly, "Where are the Second Prince and the Northern Di Princess?"
If either of these two gets into trouble, it will cause a major problem!
Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan, at least, had some martial arts skills.
Yuan Yao immediately said, "Canfeng, you go alone to find Xie Zhi first and follow his orders. In particular, keep a close eye on Jiang Chengyan and Princess Acha!"
"I'll go right away!"
Canfeng received the order and disappeared like the wind.
Po Yue glanced at the crowd.
A large number of pedestrians rushed towards this area, shouting and making a ruckus, overturning many of the stalls.
It was so crowded that there was no way to go against the flow to find someone!
Po Yue said coldly, "I'll take you away from here first, find a safe place, and then send a message to Can Feng."
Yuan Yao looked at the crowd, thought for a moment, and nodded: "That works too..."
Po Yue held Yuan Yao in one arm and protected her with the other, then found an alley and walked over.
The alley was dark, but thankfully, no one was there.
Po Yue glanced around and said, "Let's wait here."
"Mmm." Yuan Yao nodded obediently.
She's quite afraid of the dark.
Fortunately, although Po Yue was cold, he was a living person, which dispelled her unease and fear.
Time passed, minute by minute.
Outside the alley, on Liuhe Street, pedestrians were still running frantically.
Yuan Yao's patience was finally wearing thin.
She opened her mouth and said, "Broken Moon."
"Hmm?" Po Yue held the sword in front of his chest with both hands: "What do you want me to do?"
"Why don't you... go out and take a look?" Yuan Yao suggested.
Should we go out and take a look?
Wouldn't that mean leaving her alone?
"No way!" Po Yue refused coldly without even thinking.
Yuan Yao said helplessly, "Then, you can send a message to Canfeng."
Simply waiting like this is not a solution.
Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and many people from outside the city have come to Beijing to celebrate it.
The streets were packed with people.
Especially Liuhe Street!
Tonight's activities will mainly take place along this long street...
Po Yue glanced outside the alley and said, "I'll go see what's going on."
“Okay.” Yuan Yao nodded.
Po Yue rummaged in her bosom and pulled out a small porcelain bottle, then dabbed it on her head and clothes.
The icy-cold liquid seeped into the scalp and clothes.
Yuan Yao shivered: "Po Yue, this is..."
"The Soul-Chasing Incense," Po Yue replied. "With this, I can find you no matter where you are."
Soul-Chasing Incense?
Is that amazing?
Yuan Yao raised her chubby little hand: "Drip a few drops on my hand and let me smell it!"
Po Yue: "..."
He resigned himself to his fate, then picked up the small porcelain bottle and tapped it twice on Yuan Yao's wrists.
The colorless, transparent liquid disappears without a trace within seconds of contact with the skin.
Yuan Yao curiously raised her wrist and sniffed it.
Huh?
She asked in confusion, "Why doesn't it taste?"
Po Yue coldly replied, "It has a smell, but people can't smell it."
"oh……"
Yuan Yao drawled out her babyish voice.
The Dark Guard Battalion is really amazing!
Her handsome father is really amazing!!
After Yuan Yao finished sighing, Po Yue finally spoke, "Princess, please don't run around. I'll be right back."
"Uh-huh!"
In the darkness, Yuan Yao's eyes shone brightly.
Po Yue glanced around, then quietly left.
The long alley was unusually quiet; even the moonlight couldn't penetrate it.
Aside from the gasps from outside the alley, all Yuan Yao could hear was the sound of her own heartbeat…
On a summer night, there were hardly any mosquitoes in the alley.
Yuan Yao leaned against the wall, her eyes wide, counting her heartbeats: "One, two, three... three hundred and twenty-four, three hundred and twenty-four..."
"I'm back." The tattered moon, dressed in all black, quietly landed beside her.
"Broken Moon!" Yuan Yao gasped for breath as she lunged forward.
That really scared her to death!
These dark, narrow alleys are terrifying!
It's a big holiday, and they don't even know how to light a few lanterns!
Po Yue bent down to catch Yuan Yao and said coldly, "There's a mad bull in the capital."
Mad cow?
Yuan Yao exclaimed in surprise, "Is it a mad cow?"
"Yes," Po Yue replied.
How could there be a mad cow in the capital?
Could it be that someone is deliberately trying to disrupt the peace in the capital?
That's not right!
If that's the case, how was the mad cow transported back to Beijing?
Yuan Yao looked up at the broken moon: "Are there many mad cows?"
Beneath the black mist, Po Yue pursed her lips: "There are about ten."
A dozen or so mad cows...
No wonder the people were running like this.
When a bull goes berserk, it will attack indiscriminately.
Moreover, cattle are enormous, and ordinary people simply can't handle them!
Thinking about it this way, Yuan Yao became even more worried.
She hurriedly asked Poyue, "Have you been able to contact Canfeng?"
I wonder how Xie Zhi and the others are doing.
Princess Acha might know some martial arts.
After all, she grew up on the grasslands.
However, it's hard to say about Jiang Chengyan!
Jiang Chengyan is young, doesn't know martial arts, and his physical strength isn't necessarily that great...
"Bang!"
Yuan Yao's ears twitched slightly: "Po Yue, did you hear anything?"
"Hmm." Po Yue nodded: "Someone threw stones."
Throwing stones?
Yuan Yao spoke up: "It's Canfeng, isn't it..."
Before she could finish speaking, a figure quickly ran past the alley entrance.
"Bang!"
Another stone was thrown in.
Upon seeing this, Po Yue narrowed his eyes beneath the black mist.
He tightened his grip on the sword hilt and said coldly, "Princess, don't run around. I'll go catch him. Count to fifty and I'll be back."
After saying that, the person had already disappeared.
"Broken Moon! Come back..."
Yuan Yao was slightly startled. Before she could finish speaking, the person from Broken Moon had disappeared.
