Huang Ziwei didn't care what Siyu thought. At this time, Siyu had been tied to the rack. Looking at this makeshift rack, Siyu felt like crying.

Huang Ziwei picked up the small whip and said, "My Lady, let me see if your bones are hard. How about you try it, little girl!" Let's see how this little whip tastes. As she spoke, the sound of the skin falling off the flesh rang out.

Princess Linglan was also slowly waking up at this time. But even if she had woken up, she couldn't do anything. The current Princess Linglan was no longer the reckless and impulsive person she once was. If it were the former Princess Linglan, hearing Huang Ziwei's arrogant words, she might have yelled, "Let me go, or I'll have my mother punish you." But the current Princess Linglan, after months of wandering, had learned to endure.

On a separate note, Hu Yijing returned from buying pastries and found that his fiancée and cousin were nowhere to be found. He asked around on the street and finally learned that the two had rescued a gambler's wife and daughter and were sending them home.

But when Hu Yijing walked to the alley they mentioned, he only saw the mother and daughter lying on the ground, and Ling'er and her cousin were also there.

Hu Yijing, without caring about the distinction between men and women, went forward to wake the woman up and asked, "Where are the two girls who sent you back?"

The woman looked around blankly and said, "I don't know! Several of us fainted when we got here."

When Hu Yijing heard that the person had fainted and disappeared, he panicked instantly and hurried back to discuss with his parents whether to report to the police or what to do.

On the official road, a dozen horses, splashing water and rumbling hooves as it rained, ran for another two hours before arriving at the foot of Mount Qixia.

Xiao Wang said, "Go hide the horses and find a place to hide." A dozen people quietly walked towards the meeting place they had agreed to meet. They waited near the edge of the cliff for nearly three hours.

Long Yi, Master, will they not come?

Long Linxiao, wait a little longer, if no one comes we will go back.

Just as several people were about to give up, they finally arrived. One of them wore a ghost mask, and the other was short, with a small tuft of hair and a mustache. No one dared to approach; from too far away, they couldn't hear what they were saying. Long Linxiao instructed his men: Long Yi and his men should slowly flank from the right, while Long San would slowly approach from the left. Long Linxiao attacked from the front.

The two chattering in the midst of the conversation saw someone approaching and were about to flee, but they were no match for the now-cleansed Long Linxiao's speed.

Long Linxiao flew forward and pressed their acupuncture points. They couldn't move, their eyes darting around. Long Linxiao raised his finger and pointed, ripping off the ugly thing he was wearing. When the ghost mask was pulled down, several people simultaneously uttered a few words: "This guy looks like Prime Minister Fang!"

Actually, the masked man didn't reveal anything. Everyone already knew this person had connections to the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise they couldn't look so similar. So, the one who kidnapped the County Lady, or assassinated her and Du Dahai, was likely from the Prime Minister's Mansion. And this short, stout fellow must be from the Feiniao Nation, given their rampant activities in Linghai in recent years. So, what was his purpose in coming to the Yulong Dynasty? What role did he play?

The little man was still chattering away, but none of Long Linxiao and his companions could understand what he was saying, and no one listened, so they pushed them away.

Long Linxiao ordered An Er to send them to the Shadow Pavilion and have the deputy pavilion master interrogate them. "First, let's see what that shorter, meatball guy is doing in our Central Plains. How many of them are there? What's their purpose in coming to our Yulong Dynasty?" An Er stepped forward, picked up the two men, and left.

The eagle's cry in the sky startled Long Linxiao, who was still lost in thought. He stretched out his arm, and the young eagle landed in his arms. He took the bamboo tube from the eagle's feet and opened the letter. Seeing the words written inside, Long Linxiao's eyes were bloodshot, and he ordered everyone to return to Liping County immediately.

The return trip was much faster on horseback than the arrival. But by the time they reached Liping County, daybreak had already broken their focus. At the county gate, a city guard approached and asked who they were. Long Yi stepped forward and threw out his token. The guard, recognizing that he was a third-rank general, quickly ordered the gates opened to let them in.

Long Linxiao and his men hurried to Yuehua Tower and saw that the whole room was filled with people with red eyes. Lan Niang and Bai Zhenli's eyes were swollen from crying, and little A Yu had fallen asleep in his mother's arms.

Bai Qingyuan and his son were also called back from the academy.

Everyone was exhausted, physically and mentally, with no clues at all. Long Linxiao ignored his own fatigue and injuries and hurried forward to inquire about the matter.

Long Linxiao, can someone tell me what happened?

So Hu Yijing described what had happened.

Long Linxiao, Long Si, go and bring that man here. Long Wu, you take people to look for him.

Long Wu, clasping his fists and saluting, is the master. Speaking of this Long Wu, he has a dog's nose. As long as his nose has smelled something, he will definitely find it.

Long Wu's nose was usually used in the military camp to locate barbarian targets. This time, it was used for the right purpose. Seeing Long Linxiao, everyone felt more confident.

Long Linxiao said, aunt and uncle took them all back to rest, but these people had no mood to rest and could only wait here silently.

The sun rose in the east, filling the room with a rosy glow. The sky was bright, and the streets were bustling with people, all happy and cheerful. Meanwhile, in Yuehua Tower, everyone was frowning, tense and anxious. It was like a polarized world.

After nearly two hours of continuous efforts, going in and out, back and forth, Long Wu finally circled around and determined the location. When everyone arrived in front of a large courtyard on the outskirts of the city, a group of people jumped onto the wall and prepared to climb in. As a result, they heard the noise and cursing in the courtyard.

I heard the woman say, "Hurry up and find him. If you can't find him, I'll skin you alive. You're a bunch of idiots. A few grown men can't take care of an injured and unconscious person."

Servant No. 1 said that the lady had looked behind and couldn't find it.

Servant No. 2 said that the madam had looked for it before but couldn't find it.

Servant No. 3 said that the lady had also looked in the east but couldn't find it.

Servant No. 4 asked if the lady had come from the west to look for him.

The maids and servants also ran over and said, "Madam, there is no one in the main house, the west wing, or the east wing."

The maid who was sweeping the floor said, "Master, there is nothing in the back room."

Huang Ziwei clenched her fists in anger. She had finally caught this bitch, but she had let him get away. Where could he hide?

Huang Ziwei said angrily, let's go to the cellar and check again. All of you go and search carefully to see where they can run to. I don't believe that they didn't go out through the front door. There are so many people in this yard, where can they run out?

Long Linxiao and several others stood on the wall, watching the people below, running around like headless flies. As long as they knew the two people were safe, they were happy to watch the show. They were so anxious that they scratched their heads.
