At dawn, in the second prince's room in the Nanchu courtyard of the Kyoto Embassy

"Second brother, hasn't the crown prince been found yet?" the fifth princess asked crying.

"Fifth sister, don't worry. The emperor has sent people to look for her." Liang Haobo said coldly with a gloomy look in his eyes, as if covered with a layer of frost.

"It's already been a whole night, why is there still no news?" The fifth princess said while sobbing.

"I don't know who was chasing my eldest brother yesterday, and what's going on with him now..."

"Second brother, you must find the crown prince as soon as possible."

"Well, I will." Liang Haobo's tone seemed to reveal a hint of impatience.

After saying that, the Fifth Princess sobbed and left the room. Liang Haobo looked at the backs of the master and two servants going away, and snorted coldly, "Humph, are you mourning for Liang Haojun?"

"Master, now they can only mourn. From now on, Nanchu will be yours," Liang Haobo's personal bodyguard flattered.

"You can't say that when you go back. Father is still here."

"I know, but the Emperor can't hear you now!"

The Fifth Princess led her two personal maids out of Liang Haobo's room, returned to her own room and closed the door.

"Princess, the Second Prince doesn't look well. It seems they don't know the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Well, the Crown Prince must have been rescued, but he must not be found by the Second Emperor. Haven't the Crown Prince's guards returned yet?"

……

At this moment, a man in black came into Liang Haobo's room through the window and knelt in front of Liang Haobo.

"master!"

"did you find it?"

"Master, we haven't found any news about the prince. I wonder who rescued him?"

"Didn't they say that the Blood Killing Sect is very powerful? Have they never failed?"

"The people of the Blood Killing Sect said that several masters rescued the prince last night, and then... the prince disappeared without a trace. Doctor Lai looked for Youming Dugu, but he couldn't find him even though he had a spirit fox."

"Well, can't find it?"

"Master, the fox spirit found a place, but didn't find anyone."

"Oh, where? Since the fox is there, the person must be there! I'll dig him out even if I have to dig three feet deep."

"Master, that...that is Prince Jing's Mansion."

"Chu Chenjing's palace?"

"Yes, the spirit fox found two courtyards in Prince Jing's mansion, and the Blood Killing Sect also sent many people to follow the spirit fox, but...but...the people sent by the Blood Killing Sect were completely wiped out, and almost all of them died. The Netherworld Dugu was also injured, and his spirit fox is still missing."

"Crash" "Bang" Liang Haobo was furious. He grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground, breaking it into pieces. Then he punched the table again.

He had been planning for a long time and finally waited for the good opportunity now, but he failed again!

"Okay, okay, Chu Chenjing, you've ruined my good deeds again. I will never let you go! Never!"

Chu Chenjing was his mortal enemy, and now he saved Liang Haojun. How could he not be angry? If Liang Haojun came back intact this time, it would be even more difficult to assassinate him! Unless his master came in person.

"Get lost! Send someone to search for us. Kill them if you see them!"

"Yes."

"Send more people to Prince Jing's Mansion tonight!"

"Master, this is... Western Chu State. Prince Jing's Mansion is full of experts."

"Go, go find him!" The man in black retreated as soon as he was ordered.

"Master, the Crown Prince may not have been saved by Prince Jing. No one noticed Prince Jing nearby yesterday."

"Hmm." He thought about it and realized that he was not calm enough.

"Master, even if the prince is rescued, he will not survive. He has been hit by so many swords, and the swords are also stained with the poison of Doctor Lai!" This personal guard is really a villain and spoke to the heart of the master.

"Hahaha, you're right. Master's poison will kill you within a few hours without an antidote! Hahahaha..."

At noon, there was a lot of sighing in the lobby of the Nanchu Courtyard of the Kyoto Embassy. Most of the envoys were anxious and gathered around the Second Prince Liang Haobo to inquire about the news.

Their prince has been missing since last night, and there has been no news since then. If they can't find the prince, then when they return, the emperor will definitely...

Among them, Liang Haobo's people were secretly proud of themselves, but they did not show it. The longer they could not find the person, the greater the possibility that Liang Haojun would be in danger.

The envoys gathered around Liang Haobo and discussed, "Second Prince, we must quickly send a message to the Emperor."

"Alas! I wish I had been with the Crown Prince yesterday. If something really happened to the Crown Prince, my father would definitely blame me..." Liang Haobo said with a sad face.

"Second Prince, this cannot be blamed on you. This time it must have been someone from the Western Chu State who deliberately murdered him. We can testify for you," said an envoy named Cheng.

"This is impossible. The prince has already negotiated border trade with the Western Chu Kingdom, and has also negotiated marriage with the Western Chu Kingdom. They won't send someone to assassinate the prince at this time, right?" said another envoy Yao who was in charge.

"It's hard to say. Who in the Western Chu State did Crown Prince offend? Why do these people want to kill Crown Prince so much?"

Liang Haobo then said, "Everyone should stop speculating and go back. This prince will personally lead people to look for the crown prince! Those idiots in the Western Chu Kingdom have found no news yet!"

"Okay, Second Prince, please ask the soldiers to look for them immediately, and we will go and ask around as well."

"Well, this prince will report the circumstances of the Crown Prince's murder to my father truthfully."

……

On the road outside the capital of Western Chu

A carriage was galloping forward with the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground, followed by more than a dozen guards riding tall horses.

The person sitting in the carriage was the person that the Second Prince of Southern Chu had been looking for, the Crown Prince of Southern Chu, Liang Haojun.

No one expected that there was a commotion in the capital city of Kyoto looking for him, but at this moment he had left the capital of Western Chu and boarded a carriage back to Southern Chu.

This morning, when he was discussing with Prince Jing in Prince Jing's mansion, Prince Jing suggested that he take advantage of the fact that those people thought he was seriously injured and were looking for him everywhere. He could return home first without anyone noticing, and avoid being assassinated on the way back home.

He also felt that Chu Chenjing's suggestion was good. After being treated by the genius doctor at Prince Jing's Mansion, he now had no problem riding in a carriage.

Prince Jing also gave him the medicine given by the miracle doctor, prepared a carriage for him, and set off.

In addition, Chu Chenjing also sent his people to escort them secretly.

With Liang Haojun's physical recovery, he will probably be able to ride a horse in two or three days, which will shorten the time to return. By then, Liang Haobo and the others will realize that something is wrong and it will be too late to catch up with him.
