Inside the library of Ganlu Temple.

The Palace Master of Xiaoyao Palace was standing in front of a window on the second floor. She stood there quietly, her eyes looking through the window lattice at the rolling mountains in the distance. Behind her, two women stood on her left and right, silently guarding her.

Suddenly, two women jumped up from downstairs lightly and came behind her. They bowed respectfully and clasped their fists: "Master of Huamen and Master of Yuemen, greetings to the Palace Master." They were the two women that the Palace Master had sent out early in the morning.

The Palace Master did not turn around, and asked in a cold tone: "Well, have you found out? What's the situation?"

"Palace Master, Xiaoyao Mountain Villa has indeed been confiscated by the government as the Second Master said. Many soldiers are still inside. The Third Master has escaped, and all our people in the valley have been evacuated." The leader of the Huamen Sect reported.

"Well, that's good." The Palace Master responded calmly, without any emotion in his voice.

"Palace Master, I have found out that the villa was discovered this time because the Third Master did not follow your instructions and kidnapped several children in the capital and was being tracked." Another leader of the Yuemen Sect added.

"How stupid." The Palace Master snorted coldly.

"Palace Master, we haven't had good luck recently. We tried our best to recruit Xie Zhihong under our command, but unexpectedly..." The leader of the Xue Clan was speaking, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Palace Master's cold gaze.

She didn't dare to say anything more. Although the four of them were all skilled, they were still afraid of the Palace Master who looked like he was only in his early twenties. This Palace Master had the ability to make people live a life worse than death.

The Palace Master glanced at her coldly, and then ordered: "Let's go to Laiyang City first, and then make plans."

The leader of Fengmen interrupted and said, "Palace Master, haven't we already found out that there are two powerful assassin organizations in the capital of Western Chu?"

"Well, you mean Lengsha Pavilion and Yinyu Tower?" asked the Palace Master with raised eyebrows.

"Yes, the Palace Master asked his subordinates to go meet them and see if they can be brought over." The Fengmen Sect Leader suggested.

The leader of Huamen said arrogantly: "Why bother? If they don't want to, we will destroy them."

These four people, in addition to their own unique kung fu, are also very good at light work and are also good at using hidden weapons. Along the way, they have subdued some assassin organizations in the Western Chu State, and those who are unwilling to surrender have also died in their hands.

"Have you found the nest of Lengsha Pavilion and Yinyu Tower?" the Palace Master said, looking out the window.

The leader of the Xuemen Sect replied, "Palace Master, the situation of Lengsha Pavilion has not been investigated yet, and our people are still investigating in the city. As for Yinyu Tower, I heard that their home base is Yinyu Villa, and the owner of the tower lives in the villa."

The Palace Master stood there, with a slight smile on his face, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Silver Feather Villa! It sounds good. Since our Xiaoyao Villa is lost, it would be a good opportunity to bring Silver Feather Villa here."

"Yes, Palace Master, I will definitely bring Yinyu Villa to you to play with." The leader of the Snow Clan said flatteringly.

"Hahaha..., good" a shrill laughter rang out in the small building.

The leader of the Xuemen Sect said, "Palace Master, our people in the city have also found out that the owner of Yinyu Villa is called Gong Qianyu. He is very likely the owner of Yinyu Tower. He is a very handsome man, and he actually calls Princess Jing his master."

"Oh? There is such a thing? Is Prince Jing of Western Chu in Kyoto?" the Palace Master asked with a sinister smile.

"Palace Master, it is said that he is already in Kyoto," the leader of Fengmen answered respectfully.

"In that case, we won't be in a hurry to go to Laiyang City. Let's go to Kyoto City first and meet Prince Jing and his princess." A sinister light flashed in the palace master's eyes.

"Yes, Palace Master." The four sect masters Feng, Hua, Xue and Yue responded in unison.

The palace master's mouth curled up into a gloomy smile: "It seems that our second master has something to do."

"Palace Master, it is rumored that the Second Master and Prince Jing were once fellow apprentices?" the leader of the Xue Clan asked tentatively.

"Yes," the palace master glanced at her and responded.

“Palace Master, didn’t they say that the Second Master was…” The leader of the Hua Sect did not finish his words.

"Okay, stop discussing this matter." The Palace Master interrupted their conversation coldly.

The leader of Fengmen quickly changed the subject and offered his skills: "Palace Master, since the soldiers have discovered our valley, I will ask the people of Huamen to poison it."

"It would be better to let our people from the Snow Clan release poisonous snakes and insects." The leader of the Snow Clan was not to be outdone.

The palace master raised his head and smiled contemptuously: "Don't worry."

Then she turned to the leader of Yuemen and ordered, "Tuoyue, send someone to inform the Fourth Master to send that thing back as soon as possible."

"Yes, Palace Master." The Moon Clan leader took the order and left.

……

At this time, there were also many people at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion in Kyoto. Several families came to report that their children were missing early in the morning.

Luo Hongyi, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, was extremely anxious. Last night, a child from the school run by the prince of Wu'an Marquis's mansion and Princess Jing went missing, and the prince and princess have already taken people to track down the child.

Unexpectedly, four more families came to report missing children this morning. One of them was the son of the newly promoted Minister of Justice. What should we do? There was also a merchant who brought his child to Kyoto to deliver goods. He disappeared in Kyoto. Now another person came to report that his child also disappeared yesterday.

In Jingzhao Prefecture, Luo Hongyi has sent people to search for clues about the missing children in the city. Yesterday at midnight, he received a report from Prince Jing's men that Prince Jing and his men had discovered that the children had been taken out of the city, and they had already left the city to track them down. However, until now, Prince Jing and his men have not returned yet. I wonder what's going on?

At this moment, the families of the missing children all came to Jingzhao Prefecture, anxiously waiting for news. Despite the cold weather, Luo Hongyi was so anxious that sweat oozed from his forehead.

Just as he was about to send someone to the city gate to check the situation again, two carriages slowly drove to the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture. The fourth prince Chu Chenyan and Yan Changfeng got off the carriages.

Behind the carriage followed Ouyang Yunyao's maids Xia Yan, Xia Fei, Xiao Cui and Mei'er, as well as the hero Qiao who went to look for the child last night, and finally Chu Chenjing's secret guards Wei Lei and Leng Yi.

These people had been waiting at the city gate since early morning. As soon as they saw the Fourth Prince's carriage, they knew that the children had been found, and they happily followed the carriage to Jingzhao Prefecture.

When Luo Hongyi saw the Fourth Prince Chu Chenyan, he felt as if he had seen a savior, and hurried forward to ask, "Fourth Prince, do you have any news about Prince Jing?"

Chu Chenyan glanced at Luo Hongyi and said in reproach, "Luo Zhaoyin, how can you be an official without knowing so many children are missing?"

"It is my fault. It is my fault."

"Well, this prince just said this, my third brother and third sister-in-law have already found the children."

"Where are they? Where are they?" Luo Hongyi asked excitedly.

Chu Chenyan pointed to the carriage he was sitting in and another carriage following behind.
