Cypress Boat Floating

When Ye Jianqing walked out of the Yue Lao Temple, someone handed a letter to Lu Ci Qiu who had been guarding outside the temple. The moment he received the letter, Lu Ci Qiu immediately rushed to the bamboo forest at the side door of the Yue Lao Temple. They had passed by that bamboo forest before, but didn't know much about it.

The bamboo forest at the side door of Yue Lao Temple was a little bigger. Lu Ci Qiu came from another direction, which was equivalent to passing through the bamboo forest. When he finally arrived at the location mentioned in the letter, Ye Jianqing just smelled the incense and staggered to the ground.

Because they had agreed on it in advance, no matter how much Lu Ci Qiu wanted to rush out and support Ye Jianqing the moment he saw her faint, he had to control himself. This was a plan that Ye Jianqing was risking her life on, and he couldn't ruin her plan.

Just as he was staring at Ye Jianqing, a wretched man in a Taoist robe sneaked out from the side door with a hemp rope in his hand. He walked to her and made sure that she was unconscious. He then quickly tied her hands and feet behind her back, not forgetting to cover her eyes with a black cloth.

After tying him up, the man did not leave immediately, but stayed there waiting for something. Soon, a carriage came out from the depths of the bamboo forest, and the one driving the carriage was another man. This man was very strong, with a very obvious scar on his face, and a fierce look. The two nodded slightly, without saying a word.

The man driving the carriage took out a large box from the carriage. The man in the Taoist robe looked at Ye Jianqing with lustful eyes, and when he lifted Ye Jianqing into the box beside him, he did not forget to touch her body. This made Lu Ciqiu's fists hard. If Ye Jianqing had not told him to catch the murderer behind the scenes, he would not be able to hold back for a moment, and he wanted to rush up and push the person to the ground first.

After the man in Taoist uniform put Ye Jianqing into the box, the man with the scar got off the carriage and helped the man in Taoist uniform lift the box onto the carriage. After confirming that everything was correct, he took out a purse from his sleeve and threw it to him.

"Shut your mouth." The scarred man instructed.

The man in the Taoist robe nodded quickly, stood there to see them off, and then walked back happily with his purse.

The people arranged by Lu Zhixing were all very smart. Some of them stayed where they were and followed the man in Taoist robes, while others followed the carriage all the way. Lu Ci Qiu was naturally among the group of people who followed the carriage. He was worried about Ye Jianqing, especially now that Ye Jianqing was still unconscious. He had to make sure that he knew clearly where Ye Jianqing was.

When the carriage disappeared from sight, the man in Taoist robe walked back happily while counting the money. However, before he walked out of the bamboo forest, he was knocked unconscious and taken away, taking with him the money he had received.

A breeze blew by, and the Taoist priest, the carriage, and the secret guards disappeared from the bamboo forest. All traces were gone with the wind, and nothing was left. No one knew that a woman had just disappeared here, and no one knew where Taoist Qingming from Yue Lao Temple had gone.

Lu Ci Qiu followed the carriage closely. His lightness skill was not that good. Fortunately, the carriage was not going very fast. Finally, when Lu Ci Qiu was about to be exposed, the carriage entered the city.

Several people followed the carriage and saw it stopped at the back door of Li's house. Lu Ciqiu originally planned to follow them into Li's house to see where Ye Jianqing was carried to, but was stopped by the people sent by Lu Zhixing.

"Your Highness, there are experts guarding the Li Mansion. You must not act rashly." The other party held down the worried Lu Ci Qiu and said calmly.

"What about Qing'er?" Lu Ci Qiu asked with a frown.

"The master has his own arrangements." The secret guard refused to reveal anything to Lu Ci Qiu and just kept stopping him from entering.

Lu Ci Qiu believed in Lu Zhixing and Ye Jianqing, but this did not affect his worry about Ye Jianqing's safety. He had lost track of Ye Jianqing and did not know what would happen to her next. She had been drugged, and whether the murderer would take advantage of her coma to attack her, these were all unknowns, so it was no wonder that Lu Ci Qiu was worried.

The two men stood guard at the back door and stared at the carriage closely. After a while, they saw the man driving the carriage come out and drive away.

"Your Highness, please go back first. I already know where Miss Ye is." said the secret guard.

Lu Ci Qiu was very surprised. How did they know this? However, when he thought that this person was from Lu Zhixing's Dark Guard Camp and Ye Jianqing was also from the Dark Guard Camp, he thought that they must have some way to track Ye Jianqing's whereabouts.

But he was still worried and wanted to stay here, but the secret guard dissuaded him from staying: "If you don't go back, you will be discovered soon."

Thinking of the people monitoring his home, Lu Ci Qiu had no choice but to obey the secret guards and go back first.

Sure enough, I still have to find time to deal with that group of people, otherwise it will be a hassle to keep them.

However, Lu Ci Qiu did not go back to the palace directly but turned to the Dali Temple. According to Ye Jianqing's explanation last night, Lu Zhixing should have captured the Taoist priest by now and might have already interrogated him. He also wanted to go over and see if he could get any information.

The torture chamber of the Dali Temple.

A man in a Taoist robe was tied to a wooden frame, looking at the person in front of him with fear. Beside him were various torture instruments, which were vaguely stained with some blood and flesh.

When Lu Ci Qiu came in, Lu Zhixing was sitting opposite the Taoist priest. At the same time, someone came in behind him with a slightly fat lady.

"Your Highness, this is the person Miss Yuqin mentioned." The soldiers threw the old lady under the feet of the Taoist priest.

The old lady had obviously never seen such a scene before. Her whole body was shaking like a sieve, and even the fat on her face was shaking.

She didn't know what had happened. She only knew that she was kidnapped here while she was still immersed in the joy of getting some money soon.

The man opposite who looks either rich or noble is probably the prince they are talking about.

The old lady was very alert. Seeing that everyone was very respectful to the man sitting there, she crawled and rolled to Lu Zhixing's feet, hugged his legs and cried, "Sir, I don't know anything. I am just an innocent woman. I have elderly parents and young children. I didn't do anything. I am innocent."

Lu Zhixing dug his ears in annoyance and kicked her away: "You talk too much nonsense." Then he said to the people next to him: "Tie him up and question him separately from the Taoist priest."

"Yes." The soldiers followed Lu Zhixing's instructions, tied up the old lady, and took her to another room.
