Lord Mu took a deep breath, clenched his fingers, and his face was unusually grave.
"Father, you should go back first. I've already sent people to look for them," Mu Chenshuang said, adding, "Father, you don't need to send your own people to look for them. Don't make too much of a commotion and arouse suspicion."
Lord Mu looked at Mu Chenshuang, calmed down, and asked, "Then, Shuang'er, who do you think it could be?"
Mu Chenshuang replied, "I don't know who it could be either. Since they kidnapped Honghua and Chengli, they're probably after me. We should get news soon. We'll just have to wait and see."
"In that case, let's wait and let me know when you have any news."
"yes."
As Lord Mu turned to leave, he looked back at Mu Chenshuang and said sternly, "You stay here in the courtyard right now."
It's clearly just a matter of continuing to keep her under house arrest.
Mu Chenshuang did not answer.
Lord Mu glanced at Mu Chenshuang, then turned and left.
Mu Chenshuang waited for Linglong to return in the study.
Linglong returned to the Marquis's residence safely. "I gave the letter to Prince Xiaoyao. After reading it, he told me to tell Miss that he would investigate and that you don't need to worry."
"I see."
Linglong pressed further, "Miss, are you asking Prince Xiaoyao to help you find safflower and Chengli?"
"I just asked him to keep an eye on things from the shadows."
The people who kidnapped Chengli and Honghua should be coming to their door soon.
"Bring some snacks over, I'm hungry."
Linglong quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Until nightfall.
The guards who went out to search returned and reported that they still hadn't found any useful information.
This was expected. The fact that they took away Honghua and Chengli meant that the other party was well-prepared and would not easily let anyone find any clues.
"I understand. Send more people to investigate."
"yes."
The guard turned and left.
Mu Chenshuang put down her cup. "Linglong, you can go down now too!"
"Miss."
"fine."
Linglong didn't ask any more questions and turned to leave.
In the vast courtyard, the corridor was illuminated by flickering candlelight, and only Mu Chenshuang remained in the pavilion, sitting on a stone bench.
At this moment.
A dart pierced the air, carrying a sharp chill, and flew towards the pavilion, striking a nearby pillar. A piece of paper was still attached to the dart.
Mu Chenshuang's eyes sharpened as she glanced at the source of the aura. The figure quickly vanished without a trace, indicating that the other party's martial arts skills were not low. After all, to enter and leave the Marquis's residence, one would not dare to venture in alone without profound skills.
Mu Chenshuang got up, walked to the pillar, took down the dart, and removed the paper from it.
Upon opening it, I saw the words: "Want someone, 9 PM, ten miles outside the city pavilion."
Mu Chenshuang stared at the words on the paper. Sure enough, it was for her. She put down the paper and turned back to her room.
Wait until Hai hour (9-11 PM).
The area outside the city, near Shili Pavilion, was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. It would be an excellent spot if someone were lying in ambush.
Mu Chenshuang, dressed in a fitted casual outfit and carrying a lantern, spoke to someone not far away: "I've arrived. Are you still planning to hide and not see anyone?"
Immediately afterwards.
An arrow shot through the air, and Mu Chenshuang slashed it with her sword. The sword energy directly cut the arrow in two, and the trees not far away fell to the ground. Then, two figures leaped down from the tree trunks and stood on the ground facing Mu Chenshuang.
One of them spoke up: "Princess Weiyang is truly courageous, actually coming alone. It seems that Princess Weiyang really treats her subordinates like family, valuing them so much."
Upon hearing the woman's voice, Mu Chenshuang immediately recognized her as the woman in purple from the Dark Night Assassins.
"Dark Night Assassins, why did you capture my people? What is your purpose?" Mu Chenshuang asked coldly.
