In a short period of time, Yuan Junyao's name became known to everyone in the capital.

After all, he was able to blockade the entire capital city, which showed that this person was extraordinary.

A day and a night passed, and there was still no news of Yuan Junyao.

The emperor was furious. If the person could not be found, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, the Prefect of Jingzhao, and the Chief of the Military Affairs Department would all be beheaded.

Shen Shaoyu worked tirelessly, without eating or drinking, and searched the capital for Yuan Junyao's whereabouts. He almost turned the entire capital upside down, but it was as if the person had disappeared from the face of the earth.

By the third day, the carriages and horses for Southern Xinjiang were ready for departure.

But they couldn't even leave the post station. They were told that they couldn't find anyone and no one was allowed to leave the capital.

Guli paced back and forth in the room, her face always frowning and looking very uneasy.

Gu Kui, on the other hand, sat calmly drinking tea, unhurried and with a composed look.

Guli couldn't help it, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Royal brother, now that things have become so serious, we won't be able to leave, right?"

If they wanted to take Yuan Junyao away, they would definitely be taking a big risk.

Gu Kui narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a firm tone: "I must take her away."

If we can't get it, then destroy it. We can't let her become the biggest threat to southern Xinjiang.

Shen Shaoyu loved her deeply. If she died, it would be a heavy blow to Shen Shaoyu.

The Emperor of Beiming had lost his right-hand man.

This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Of course, it would be best if I could get Yuan Junyao.

"Royal brother, if we are discovered, we will be in trouble."

Guli was very uneasy and kept chattering away.

Gu Kui frowned and said, "Too much talk leads to mistakes. You should say less. If someone finds out, that would be a complete failure."

Guli had no choice but to shut up and sit aside. She knew that Gu Kui was determined to take Yuan Junyao away.

But at this moment she was very uneasy, always feeling that things were not that simple.

How could such a powerful person like Yuan Junyao fall into their hands so easily?

Now that the matter has become so serious, if the person is really found in their hands, then Bei Ming will have a reason to detain them, and then they will not be able to leave.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Guli couldn't help but say, "Brother, let her go."

Now the entire post station is full of Bei Ming’s people, and it is even difficult for them to release Yuan Junyao.

Gu Kui said coldly: "Now that things have come to this, there is no turning back."

This is called riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. Even if they regret it now, it is useless because the entire post station and even the entire capital are under surveillance.

Guli was almost crying. She was already afraid of Yuan Junyao and now just wanted to go home.

Gu Kui felt annoyed when he saw her mournful face, but he didn't know what to say. After all, she was already sad enough.

As for the current situation, he had actually anticipated it a long time ago. After all, Yuan Junyao was so important, but he still chose to take the risk.

"Brother, why didn't we leave earlier? Why did we have to wait until now?"

Wouldn't it be better to leave the capital before Yuan Junyao's disappearance is discovered?

Gu Kui looked at Guli helplessly, shook his head and said nothing.

Leaving the capital doesn't mean you're safe.

You know, there will be people monitoring them along the way, so it will be useless even if they leave the capital.

As soon as the news of Yuan Junyao's disappearance is exposed, they will chase her out. How far can they go in one day?

Just when the brother and sister looked at each other in silence.

A group of soldiers suddenly rushed into the post station. The leader was Song Qingqiu, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and Shen Shaoyu followed closely behind.

Guli stood up suddenly, obviously a little flustered.

Gu Kui sat there calmly, just looking at the panicked Guli, feeling really helpless. Isn't this just trying to cover up the truth?

Song Qingqiu's gaze indeed fell on her.

Guli stared at Song Qingqiu blankly, forgetting to react for a moment. Her mind went blank, and all her fear and panic disappeared.

Song Qingqiu stared at the two men with a cold expression, and said in a deep voice, "Someone saw Lord Yuan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the palace gate before leaving the palace. Therefore, I want to search the post station."

Gu Kui nodded calmly and said, "Please do as you wish."

Song Qingqiu waved his hand and the officers rushed in from all directions.

Gu Kui poured tea by himself.

Guli was still standing there blankly, her eyes fixed on Song Qingqiu.

Song Qingqiu frowned. Guli's gaze made him very uncomfortable, so he walked straight to the backyard.

Seeing this, Shen Shaoyu followed him.

Gu Kui looked at the two people's backs as they entered the backyard, his eyes deep.

A moment later, when he looked away, he found Guli still standing there.

"Guli?"

Guli was still looking towards the backyard hesitantly.

"Are you scared silly?"

Gu Kui called out several times before Guli came back to her senses.

"what happened to you?"

Guli's face turned red instantly, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Gu Kui didn't understand what was wrong with her, so he stood up and walked towards the backyard. He couldn't sit still here anyway.

When we arrived at the backyard, we saw them circling around two coffins.

The entire post station was searched, but nothing was unusual.

Song Qingqiu stared at Gu Kui with a sharp gaze and said directly, "We need to open the coffin and inspect it."

This coffin is so big and so conspicuous.

According to normal psychology, when hiding things, people would hide them in the most unlikely places.

The more unlikely it is, the more likely it is. The more dangerous a place is, the safer it is. Think again about what most people can think of.

Shen Shaoyu watched from the side and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Gu Kui's face darkened instantly and he refused sternly.

"No, opening the coffin is disrespectful. Inside are the two Southern Xinjiang people who were poisoned by Yuan Junyao."

Song Qingqiu glanced at the coffin and said, "This coffin is a little different from ordinary coffins."

Gu Kui said, "This is the style of our Wu Gu tribe, and it is naturally different from ordinary coffins."

Not only are the styles of the coffins different, but even the patterns on them are different.

Song Qingqiu twitched his lips slightly and said coldly, "If you don't check, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave. After all, Master Yuan is very important to us."

Gu Kui pretended to be angry and just stared at Song Qingqiu.

"Your Highness, why don't you let them check it out?" the attendant whispered.

Gu Kui glared at the man, who immediately lowered his eyes.

In the end, Gu Kui compromised, but his face looked very ugly.

The coffin lid opened, revealing two bodies inside.

The two corpses had pale faces and black lips. They had been dead for so long, but they were still bleeding from all seven orifices. It was very scary.

There was nothing in the coffin except these two bodies.

Gu Kui snorted coldly, "Do you want me to move it out for you to check? The coffin is only this big."

Song Qingqiu narrowed his eyes and stared into the coffin for a long time before saying, "Move the body out."

Gu Kui said angrily: "Don't go too far!"
