After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

The timeline goes back a few hours

After Qi Mingze was taken away, he put on a human skin mask and pretended to be his third brother, and led the Wuyi Guard on the way back.

Ying Er always felt that the 'Lord Qi' in front of him was a little weird in an inexplicable way.

Feeling increasingly uneasy, Ying Er finally couldn't help but go down to test it out.

He pretended to be an ordinary citizen and walked towards Qi Mingze, and indeed he did not smell the subtle fragrance of the wooden hairpin sent by His Majesty.

The wooden hairpin that His Majesty gave to Lord Qi is not only embedded with a signal flare specially used by the shadow guards, but also emits a special fragrance that only the shadow guards can detect.

He carefully looked at the people around him inch by inch, and sure enough, he found the texture of a human skin mask at the temples.

Since this person has replaced Lord Qi, his accomplices must have taken him away.

If they don't control him now, it would be harder than climbing to the sky for them to find Lord Qi.

His mind raced, and in an instant he decided to subdue the man first.

Unexpectedly, this person had a strong sense of crisis and actually dodged his thundering attack.

"Help! Help!" Qi Mingze ran back in panic.

Seeing this, the Wuyi Guards behind also drew their swords and stepped forward to protect.

The Wuyi Guards and the Ying Guards immediately started fighting. Ying Er immediately took out the token given by the emperor and shouted at them.

"Stop! This is the highest-level token of the Wuyi Guard. All Wuyi Guards see it as if they are the commander."

At this point, the two groups finally stopped fighting, and all the Wuyi Guards knelt on one knee, "Greetings, sir."

Because of this delay, that 'Qi Mingze' had already escaped hundreds of miles away.

Seeing this, Ying Er did not dare to delay and immediately ordered everyone to arrest the man.

"That Lord Qi is someone else in disguise. Everyone, arrest him immediately. If he dares to resist arrest, just spare his life."

The subtext is that as long as you are still alive, injuries, poisoning, etc. don't matter.

"Yes, sir." The others stopped questioning and immediately stood up to catch the man.

Although the fake Qi Mingze's martial arts skills are mediocre, his lightness skills are among the best.

In addition, he made frequent small movements, occasionally spreading a handful of sleeping pills and shooting a few hidden weapons into the air.

Although Ying Er could seriously injure him with a word, everyone knew that the real Lord Qi was now missing, so they had to rely on this man to find him.

They were afraid that this man was injured and unconscious, which would delay them from inquiring about Lord Qi's whereabouts.

He was full of concerns when he took action, and for a while, the two groups of people were unable to do anything to the thief.

In the end, it was Ying Er who acted decisively and shot a poisonous arrow directly, hitting the fake "Qi Mingze's" left arm.

The man froze, and was slashed several times by the shadow guards who were chasing him. One of the cuts was so deep that the bone was visible.

When they were about to go forward to capture him, suddenly several darts were shot out, followed by billowing smoke.

Everyone held their breath and quickly moved away. When the smoke cleared, a man in black on horseback had already taken the fake Qi Mingze away.

They had no time to chase after him, so they could only look at Ying Er and wait for his decision.

“Thirteen, go to the palace and inform His Majesty.

Fourteen, you take two people to track down the two men. After finding them, send someone to notify them. Be sure not to alert them.

The rest of you, follow me to the clothing store. Remember, report back if you find any clues."

Ying Er suppressed his thoughts and quickly sent people away.

I have been with Lord Qi for so many days, and I remember what happened between His Majesty and Lord Qi in Yun Mansion yesterday.

They all understood the position that Lord Qi held in His Majesty's heart.

If something really happened to Lord Qi, he could hardly imagine how furious His Majesty would be.

These shadow guards who crawled out of the pile of corpses will never forget the horrified state of His Majesty when he learned the news of the late emperor's death.

If an accident happens this time, it will probably be even worse than last time.

They came to the clothing store and immediately took control of everyone in the store.

However, these shopkeepers and waiters who are in the open know nothing about what is happening in secret.

After a carpet search in the shop, they found a secret door and underground passage in the changing room.

The underground tunnels were intricate and winding, and after exploring in batches, they finally found the open space.

The kidnappers were also veterans. When they found this place, they discovered six forks in the road, each with traces of wheels.

At this time, more than an hour had passed since Qi Mingze disappeared, and 'Jun Linyuan' also arrived here.

When receiving the news from Ying Shisan, Jun Linyuan was still preparing a birthday gift for Qi Mingze.

Exactly one month later, Qi Mingze entered his second estrus period.

The first time it happened too suddenly and he had no experience, so he didn't know if Mingze was satisfied.

Next time he will definitely be fully prepared to show off his skills and "avenge his previous shame."

"Your Majesty, Master Qi has gone missing. The deputy leader has sent me to report this to you. He is currently leading the Black Guards and others to investigate Master's whereabouts."

A gust of wind blew Ying Shisan away several meters, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. He immediately knelt down and continued to describe the situation.

"Prepare the horses." Jun Linyuan said calmly.

However, this calmness seems to contain endless storms, which is terrifying.

He put on a human skin mask and asked Chu Dequan to order the Jinyiwei to control all clinics and doctors.

Notify the Royal Guards to impose martial law throughout the city, guard the city gates and not allow anyone to enter or leave.

Send shadow guards to order Qianji Pavilion to go out and search for the kidnappers.

……

Jun Linyuan seemed to have no emotions at all and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

However, everyone present knew that if anything happened to Qi Mingze, the king would inevitably massacre Shengjing.

When Ying Er saw Jun Linyuan coming with a large group of Jinyiwei and Wuyiwei, he immediately knelt down and apologized.

"I failed to protect you, my lord. Please punish me, Commander!"

"When everything is over, go and receive your punishment and tell me what happened next."

The command was transferred from Ying Er to Jun Linyuan.

The search lasted for two hours, and the group of people seemed to have disappeared, leaving no clues.

The air pressure around Jun Linyuan became lower and lower, until finally Ying Er didn't dare to get any closer.

Just when Ying Er was worried that the situation would get out of control, a flare rang out across the night sky.

Led by Jun Linyuan, everyone rushed to the signal location without stopping.

Jun Linyuan brought several shadow guards over the wall and entered the old house, while he arranged for the others to surround and wait outside the house.

After entering the door, Jun Linyuan did not expect that he would see Qi Mingze who was unharmed.

"Mingze." He finally couldn't suppress his longing any longer and hugged Qi Mingze.

Qi Mingze was imprisoned and almost couldn't breathe. After struggling for a while, he managed to escape from the arms of "Jun Linyuan".

Then he said to him gently and calmly, "Chengyuan, you are here.

The human traffickers are in this room. Quickly have someone take them back for interrogation.

The children and the girls are in those two rooms, and you ask them to separate everyone.

Among the children, there is a boy named Dong Qianye who needs special attention. He is probably a member of the human traffickers.

There should be one hidden among the girls, but I haven't had time to find out yet.

We must not let them stay together, lest the human traffickers hiding there become desperate and harm others."

"Number Two, you go and make the arrangements."

"Yes, Commander." Ying Er immediately followed the order and took everyone else out.

[Host, so that's how it is. No wonder I asked you to go check on them, but you said you had to wait until Yun Chengyuan arrived.]

The system suddenly realized that there was an undercover agent among the victims.

No wonder the host didn't plan to take them away, but chose to cut off the source of the problem.

If he had taken people to escape at that time, he would have been sold out by these fake victims and real undercover agents sooner or later, and the consequences would have been unimaginable!

People from any place should not be underestimated. This small kidnappers' nest can actually play out such a vicious game.

Qi Mingze threw the fifth bomb of this kidnapping into the system.

Dong Qianye appeared to be afraid, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes.

Although he was the first child to be caught, his face was rosy and he didn't look thin at all.

There were only a few cuts on his clothes, but no scars on his body, and the rope that tied him up had a special knot that could adjust the tightness.

...]

Qi Mingze explained the flaws to the system in detail.

The system was shocked. [Oh my god, so many flaws, and I didn't notice any of them.]

[Who would pay attention to a kidnapped child? But sometimes it is these inconspicuous little details that matter.

It determines the success or failure of a matter.] Qi Mingze closed his eyes to hide the heaviness in them.

This reminded him of a general's autobiography, which mentioned the Vietnam War.

Because of their kindness, they took in the elderly and children of Yue State.

But they paid a heavy price, and the general lost the person he loved most.

That's why he never dared to let his guard down in such places and was naturally wary of everyone.

[But host, you must not take risks again next time.] The system still thinks the host was too risky this time.

[These people are obviously experienced and can be compared to the human traffickers of today.

If I hadn't come in, these girls and children would have had a miserable end.]

……

Out of trust in Jun Linyuan, Qi Mingze was accompanied by him all the way, and they even rode on the same horse.

He explained the purpose and details of this action to the system, treating it as his own review and summary.

He was completely unaware that the person next to him had a darker look in his eyes and a more solemn expression during their conversation.

When Qi Mingze came to his senses, he had already been taken to the Yun Mansion's wing by 'Jun Linyuan'.

Just when he was about to ask Jun Linyuan's intention of doing this.

However, Jun Linyuan's handsome face had turned as dark as ink, and the pressure around him was so cold that it seemed to freeze people.

Seeing the sudden silence of the group, Jun Linyuan said in a deep voice, "Mingze, tell me how I should punish you!"
