"Prince, look!"

Seeing Zhao Hao's confused face, Zhao Wei hurriedly fumbled around and took out the porcelain bottle that had mysteriously appeared yesterday. He held the porcelain bottle carefully in his palm, as if it was a rare treasure, and then slowly presented the side with the word Murong engraved on the bottom to Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao reached out and gently took the porcelain bottle. His eyes quickly focused on the clear word "Murong" on the bottom of the porcelain bottle. In an instant, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and Murong Ling'er's smart and pretty face appeared before him.

"Miss Murong?" Zhao Hao murmured to himself, with a hint of uncertainty and surprise in his voice.

"Prince, do you also think it's her?" Zhao Wei stared at Zhao Hao's eyes, his eyes full of expectation and confirmation.

Zhao Hao frowned and nodded, falling into deep thought.

"Except for her and Chu Lingfeng, there should be no one else to help us at this time." His tone was low and slow, as if he was talking to Zhao Wei, or as if he was talking to himself.

The past between Murong Ling'er and them flashed through his mind like a slide show. Her kindness, intelligence, and occasional playfulness made Zhao Hao feel that she was very likely to be the person who would lend a helping hand in this time of crisis.

As a loyal minister in the court, Chu Lingfeng would never stand idly by at such a moment.

"By the way, is Miss Murong here?"

Zhao Hao keenly noticed something strange in Zhao Wei's words. A hint of anxiety and doubt flashed in his eyes. Without thinking, he immediately asked, his tone rising slightly, full of expectation and concern, as if the appearance of Miss Murong would be the key to solving the current dilemma.

Zhao Wei slowly shook his head, his movements steady and calm. He then extended a slender finger, pointing directly at the Golden Eagle King resting in the corner, and said calmly, "It sent it."

Zhao Hao looked in the direction he pointed and his eyes were fixed on the Golden Eagle King.

In an instant, his face froze, his eyes filled with disbelief and surprise. This Golden Eagle King was huge, exuding a wild aura and the majesty of a king. How could it be related to the delicate and gentle Miss Murong?

Zhao Hao's mind was instantly filled with countless questions, like a tangled mess that could not be cut or sorted out. He frowned, his eyes revealing deep doubts, and he wondered in his heart, what kind of complicated story is hidden behind this?

Could it be that Miss Murong and the mysterious Golden Eagle King had some kind of hidden understanding or agreement? Or was the Golden Eagle King merely a messenger, driven by someone else, while the true mastermind lay somewhere else?

……

On the other side, at the other end of the village, Qingya and Jingsi, who had been searching for a whole night, slowly returned with exhausted bodies.

Their steps were heavy and dragging, their eyes full of frustration and loss. Feiyu was extremely dissatisfied with the result of returning empty-handed.

Fei Yu stood there, her posture erect, her eyes burning with anger. She thought to herself, such a great opportunity, like a gift from heaven, how could she miss it so easily? How could she swallow this anger?

After listening to the direction and process of the two people's search, Feiyu raised her head slightly and fell into deep thought. Her eyes became deep and sharp, as if they could penetrate the thick fog and see through all the truth.

Jingya and Jingsi held their breath and stood aside with lowered brows and submissive eyes, not daring to make a sound. They knew very well that Feiyu was in a bad mood at the moment, and they were afraid that any small movement or subtle sound of theirs would interrupt Feiyu's thoughts and cause him to be scolded.

Suddenly, Fei Yu seemed to be struck by a flash of inspiration, his brows furrowed, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

She quickly turned around and said to the two of them, "Search this village thoroughly immediately. The man's injuries are so serious, he can't have gotten far." Her voice was cold and decisive, like a biting cold wind, which made people shudder.

Speaking of this, Feiyu felt a surge of regret in her heart. She had made a stupid mistake last night.

At that time, she only thought that the man must be trying his best to escape, but she did not expect that the most dangerous place is also the safest place.

She gritted her teeth secretly, concluding in her heart that he must have been hiding in this village last night, but she didn't know whether he had quietly escaped after the night.

"Yes, witch!" The two maids came to their senses immediately after hearing this, their bodies shook slightly, and they responded respectfully.

They ignored their physical and mental fatigue, quickly adjusted their state, and rekindled their fighting spirit in their eyes. The two looked at each other, understood each other, and then quickly dispersed, like two agile cheetahs, searching every corner of the village.

Their figures shuttled between the alleys and houses of the village, leaving no possible hiding place unattended.

Feiyu could no longer sit still. She took firm steps, her figure graceful yet dignified, and followed the two of them out.

Here, the Golden Eagle King, who was originally sleeping soundly, seemed to be awakened by a mysterious force. Its huge eyes suddenly opened, and its eyes instantly regained sharpness and alertness.

He suddenly looked up at the board above the cellar. Its movements were clean and neat, without any drag.

This action made Zhao Hao and Zhao Wei's hearts tighten suddenly. They looked at each other and saw worry and vigilance in each other's eyes.

They did not dare to hesitate for a moment and quickly stood up quietly, their movements as light as two falling leaves, for fear of making any sound and disturbing the sensitive Golden Eagle King. At the same time, they were secretly guessing in their hearts about the unknown dangers they were about to face.

Zhao Wei crouched down and tiptoed towards the entrance of the cellar. All the nerves in his body were tense. He held his breath and listened intently to the movements outside. Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar and reached his ears like dense drumbeats. His eyes suddenly became stern, and he turned his head without hesitation and made a gesture to Zhao Hao to keep quiet.

Zhao Hao's slightly relaxed expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by extreme tension. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

The Golden Eagle King seemed to sense the approaching danger. It walked over with steady and powerful steps, and its huge body gently pushed Zhao Wei aside.

Then it quickly squatted down, its posture like a tiger about to be released from a cage, with all its feathers slightly standing up, each one like a sharp blade, presenting a posture of being ready to fight and attack.

Humph! You are here again, these ignorant fellows, to disturb my peace. I will teach you a lesson!

Jingya and Jingsi explored carefully along the way, not missing any corner or clue, like two sharp hunting dogs tracking their prey.

Their eyes revealed concentration and persistence, their steps were light and cautious, and they finally arrived at this long-abandoned courtyard together.
