The First Tyrant of Daxia

"Of course it's true. Would I lie to you?"

Mu Ci was in tears: "But I am really worried about her. She has never left my side. She is only nine years old. Now she has fallen into the hands of the enemy... I..."

At this point, she choked up again.

Qin Yun said softly: "I understand your thoughts, but everything has a process. You have to give me some time, and I will also give my subordinates some time."

"Do you agree?"

Mu Ci suddenly calmed down, wiped her tears, looked at him and nodded.

"Your Majesty, what about Mu Le?"

"I'm afraid he'll be impulsive... Or should I just leave the palace?"

Qin Yun held her hand and said, "Don't worry. He came to see me. He was very excited and anxious, but after my persuasion, he went back."

"I also promised him that I would do my best to find Mu Xin."

"We need to wait for news now, go to sleep first."

Mu Ci's eyes still showed worry that she couldn't hide, but since Qin Yun had said this, she couldn't continue to pester him.

He was slowly pushed down and laid on the bed.

The moment Qin Yun covered her with the quilt, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Yun, with a hint of pleading on her charming face.

"Your Majesty, could you please not leave?"

"I'm afraid..."

"I saw that eunuch last night. He smiled sinisterly at me, then knocked me out and took Mu Xin away."

Hearing the trembling voice, Qin Yun felt extremely distressed.

Just listening to her description, it feels scary. Mu Ci is just a woman who is powerless.

"Okay, I won't leave."

"I'll sleep here tonight."

After saying that, Qin Yun took off his boots and lay down.

Mu Ci huddled under his arms, resting her cheek against his chest, feeling his warmth before her body slowly relaxed.

For a long time, neither of them spoke, and it was very quiet.

After all, something like this has happened and has not been resolved yet, so no one can be happy.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

Qin Yun's arms felt a little sore. He turned his head to look at her, only to see that Mu Ci had fallen asleep. Her pretty face was covered with traces of tears and she looked a little thin, which made people feel distressed.

Reaching out and gently stroking her face, he swore in his heart that he must find Mu Xin back!

As the last ray of candlelight went out, Qin Yun also lay down and slowly fell asleep.

At this time, the lights in the imperial capital were flickering, and the eerie atmosphere never subsided.

Fortunately, the people were very cooperative and did not cause any trouble. Thanks to Qin Yun's series of benevolent policies, the people did not even talk about the closure of the city.

In the second half of the night, the Jinyiwei imperial guards were still searching.

clatter……

Light footsteps were heard, like those of a wild cat, without any notice.

Under the moonlight, Yue Nu did not have Juque on her back. Instead, she sneaked down from the third floor with bare hands and went all the way to the cellar of the restaurant. She wanted to find out what was going on!

If that thief Lu caught someone, he would definitely detain him nearby.

Once the person is caught, it is possible that the person is Yue Ling. Even if she is not, it means that there is something wrong with this old man and he is hiding it.

The cellar is quite large, filled with the aroma of wine and unusually quiet.

She looked around and didn't see even a ghost, let alone a living person.

The shelves piled with goods were covered in dust, and no one had even come to clean them for a long time.

"Oh." She sighed softly, afraid that she had found the wrong place, but she was unwilling to give up. As long as her sister might be there, she was unwilling to give up, even if she had to dig three feet into the ground!

Her eyes, as cold as stars, swept across the area and finally set her target on the deepest shadow in the cellar. There was no cargo there and it was very empty.

She just took a step forward.

Suddenly, the old thief Lu appeared in time.

Standing at the stairs, with his hands behind his back, he said quietly: "I originally thought you were not such a fool, but I didn't expect that you would actually come."

Yue Nu's face changed slightly. She turned around and looked at his figure against the light without saying a word.

Lu Laozhe laughed again and asked, "How's it going? Did you find your sister?"

Yue Nu clenched her jade fists, unable to bear it any longer.

He said in a deep voice: "Even if that was the emperor's evil plot, you already know the whereabouts of my sister, right?"

"tell me!"

puff!

The old thief Lu sneered and said sarcastically: "You failed your mission, so you have no right to know!"

"If you want the result, go back and ask the young master. I won't tell you anyway."

Yue Nu clenched her fists, feeling a little angry and embarrassed!

She didn't expect things to turn out like this, but she also wanted to know the whereabouts of her sister.

"Tell me the news about Yue Ling first. If you fail, I will try again. How about it?" She was rarely humble.

"Tsk tsk, did I hear it right? Lord Yue Nu would actually beg for mercy from me?" The old thief Lu sneered, his face full of ridicule.

Yue Nu clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, lowered her head and said nothing, allowing him to mock her.

"You can mock me as much as you like, but you need to tell me the whereabouts of Yue Ling."

The old thief Lu walked down the stairs, put his hands behind his back and glanced at me coldly: "Then I will also tell you that it is impossible, because you have not completed the task!"

"If you want news, go find the young master!"

"You!!" Yue Nu was extremely angry. She felt that this old man was making things difficult for her.

My young master is not in the Central Plains. I don't know how long it has been since I came back and forth. And now I am trapped in the imperial capital. How can I get out?

Gradually, her eyes changed and became somewhat cold.

An adventurous and crazy idea sprouted in her mind and then spread like a plague!

Something is wrong!

The old thief Lu narrowed his eyes, his face uncertain, and asked coldly: "What do you want to do?"

Yue Nu did not answer, but took two steps forward calmly. Although he did not have Juque, the pair of fists wrapped in iron chains were also particularly attractive.

The not-so-tall body possessed unimaginable strength and an inexplicable aura that directly locked onto the old thief Lu!

She wanted to use force to forcibly demand information about her sister's whereabouts, and as for the young lady, she was not within her consideration.

The old thief Lu suddenly felt a greater sense of crisis, and his hair stood on end, but he would not turn around and run away. After all, he was also a top master.

Immediately responded with a warning.

"Yue Nu, you are playing with fire!"

She clenched her fists, hesitating and struggling for the last time.

But it was at this critical moment.

Bang bang bang!

Rapid footsteps sounded.

The White Lotus sect members shouted in panic: "Oh no, Deputy Sect Leader!"

"The Royal Guards have come to our door. What should we do?"

"They're searching the first floor."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the two people in the cellar changed slightly!

Qin Yun's people actually found him!

The two looked at each other, with hostility and suspicion towards each other, but at this moment they both tacitly stopped arguing and did not fight openly.

Yue Nu left and passed by the old thief Lu.

At that moment, it seemed as if the air was stagnant, even the old thief Lu was tense and alert!

Wait for people to leave.

He breathed a sigh of relief and snorted coldly.

He clenched his fist and said, "Come here, let me keep an eye on the cellar. Don't let her find out."

"Everyone else, hide and be alert to the Royal Guards!!"

"Yes!"

Outside the cellar, several voices responded anxiously, and then figures disappeared.

The old thief Lu also sneaked into the night, secretly observing the movements in the restaurant, with a sinister look on his face, muttering to himself.

"No! It's so late, and the Royal Guards are coming to check. Something might have happened!"
