Chapter 52 But I'm Worried About You(1/2)
"But I can protect myself."
Chen Xinyue pursed her lips, and she was worried about Chen Wangchi in her heart, and she was really worried.
"Just stay in the mansion and wait for me to come back. I will definitely bring your brother back. Believe me, Yue'er." Huo Weilou had already asked his subordinates to investigate first.
Chen Xinyue frowned. If she didn't let her go, her heart wouldn't be calm. "No, I must go to the dangerous building, otherwise I will be uneasy and I can't sit still in the mansion."
Huo Weilou looked at her deeply and wanted to persuade him a few more words: "Yue'er, be obedient, there's danger outside, I will bring him back."
"No, I have to go." Chen Xinyue's eyes were full of firmness.
This made Huo Weilou very helpless.
Huo Weilou didn't want Chen Xinyue to take risks, and he didn't want her to have any possibility of being hurt.
But Chen Xinyue is also stubborn. Since she decided to go, no matter how Huo Weilou persuaded her, she would not let go and insisted on going.
In desperation, Huo Weilou had no choice but to agree.
"You can go with me, but when you get there, you must follow me all the time. Did you hear that?" Huo Weilou spoke helplessly.
"Okay." Chen Xinyue agreed.
Huo Weilou then set off with Chen Xinyue, and was left in the mansion without martial arts.
Along the way, Chen Xinyue was full of worries.
"Yue'er, don't worry, you will find it." Huo Weilou didn't know how to comfort someone, but just pinched Chen Xinyue's palm with his hands.
"I'm afraid of brother..." Although he didn't say it, Huo Weilou understood what Chen Xinyue was worried about.
"If it is a robber, its purpose should be to rob money. Chen Wangchi came to Beijing and did not have much money, so he should not have any worries about his life." Huo Weilou analyzed for Chen Xinyue.
But Chen Xinyue also understood that this was just based on the purpose of the robbers being robbed of wealth.
If those robbers, if they see Chen Wangchi without money, kill people to vent their anger, what should they do?
Soon, the two arrived at the gate of the capital.
At this time, there were still many people queuing up to enter and exit the city.
The official who inspected the release at the door was from Huo Weilou. After seeing the token of the Regent's Mansion in Huo Weilou, he soon released the carriage and asked Huo Weilou and Shen Xinyue to leave the city.
It was just a commotion among the people.
"Official, why do we have to line up to check, but their carriage can go out of the city directly?" Someone expressed dissatisfaction.
The official glared at him: "We can't afford to offend that person!"
"Can't afford to offend? If you can't afford to offend, you can go to the countryside and go into and out of the city at will? What are the rules in the capital?"
Some people don’t mind watching the fun, but they all think that anyway, if something happens, there will be a bunch of people accompanying them to be punished. In addition, if there are too many people, it will be difficult to arrest people.
According to the Dharma, the people do not blame others in their hearts, and they are talking nonsense.
This little official felt miserable. His official position was very small, just a routine inspection and release.
"That master has a serious matter when he goes out of the city! If it is delayed, we will not have enough to pay for it."
After the young official made harsh words, the group of people gradually became quiet.
Huo Weilou and Shen Xinyue naturally didn't know about this short episode at the city gate.
Following the guidance of the secret guards, the two arrived at the place where the Shen Wangchi carriage was.z.br
The place where the carriage is located is where Chen Wangchi disappeared.
"Prince, Princess." The secret guard bowed and bowed.
They took the lead and had already explored the surrounding area, but no clues were found in the robbers.
"We have explored the neighborhood and found no trace of the robbers."
Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's check again, a living person cannot disappear out of thin air, there must be clues nearby."
"Yes! Prince!"
The secret guard then investigated nearby.
Huo Weilou was not idle either, and he was looking for clues nearby.
Chen Xinyue's eyes came
On the wheel of the carriage.
From Jiangnan all the way north to the capital, the road experienced in the middle was very long. The wheels must have some mottled and old marks, and they will be stained with mud in the woods, but the wheels of the carriage were a little clean, as if they had been deliberately wiped out by someone.
Wait...Miba!
Chen Xinyue looked carefully at the grass near the carriage, and there was a little bit of dried mud on the grass.
Chen Xinyue looked at the traces of the mud, one after another, and it could be connected into a string.
"I guess this is the way the carriage comes." Chen Xinyue came to the conclusion.
The direction where the mud extends past is the way when the carriage comes to the woods.
Chen Xinyue searched in the carriage for a while but found no new clues.
Therefore, Chen Xinyue's eyes returned to the grass on the ground again.
There seemed to be traces of slight dragging on the grass.
This trace is exactly the opposite of those muddy ones.
Chen Xinyue pondered and dragged...it was very likely to have dragged Chen Wangchi somewhere!
Chen Xinyue followed the trace and chased after him alone.
Soon, she saw a cloth shoe and she immediately recognized it. It was Chen Wangchi's shoes! Because Song Ruyu could sew cloth shoes, the cloth shoes of the brother and sister were made by Song Ruyu himself, and Chen Xinyue could recognize it at a glance.
Because the shoes are buried by grass, it is difficult to see if they are not very careful and have good eyesight.
"This is the right direction." Chen Xinyue murmured to herself.
She had forgotten Huo Weilou.
Chen Xinyue accelerated her pace and walked quickly along this road. The more she walked, the stronger her feelings became. She could feel that Chen Wangchi was nearby!
"Ah!" Chen Xinyue didn't notice it, accidentally stepped on the short side and fell down!
The road here is complicated, with weeds growing all the way, and the ground is covered with grass, and the places where there are spaces are covered by weeds, so you can't see it at all.
After searching for a while, Huo Weilou and the secret guards still found nothing.
Then Huo Weilou also found traces of dragging.
"Yue'er, I found the clue." Huo Weilou wanted to share it with Chen Xinyue at the first time.
As a result, when he wanted to find Chen Xinyue, Chen Xinyue was gone!
Huo Weilou was shocked, "Have you seen where did the princess go?"
Several secret guards looked at each other. They were all looking for clues and robbers. They thought the princess was always by her side and no one paid attention.
"The prince... I don't know." The secret guards lowered their heads and did not dare to look up at Huo Weilou.
Huo Weilou was anxious and angry, with a handsome face and a terrifyingly cold aura.
"I wonder? You guys can't stand the princess alone! When I came, I said, protect the princess! Are you taking my words as a warning?"
Huo Weilou scolded the secret guards.
Several secret guards were like quails at this time, and they didn't dare to move.
The prince was very angry, and the consequences were very serious.
"I'll find it for me! If something happens to the princess, you can get the punishment yourself!"
Huo Weilou snorted coldly.
The secret guards did not dare to slack off and went all out to find Chen Xinyue's whereabouts.
They dare not be lazy. The prince said that he would receive the punishment, and that punishment would lose half his life!
Huo Weilou looked at the drag marks and walked in this direction.
The secret guards searched for a while but couldn't find Chen Xinyue's traces, and they were also a little panicked.
After a while, Huo Weilou heard Chen Xinyue's voice.
"Weilou - Huo Weilou -" Chen Xinyue was shouting.
She heard the sound of footsteps, which were the sound of shoes stepping on weeds and dead leaves. There were only Huo Weilou and others here, so Chen Xinyue shouted Huo Weilou's name without any hesitation.
Huo Weilou vaguely heard Chen Xinyue's voice, but it was very unreal. He didn't tell whether it was an auditory hallucination or really heard it.
When Chen Xinyue saw that no one paid attention to her, she couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't the person coming from Huo Weilou?"
"Could it be... that group of robbers?" Chen Xinyue held her breath and observed carefully.
Chen Xinyue no longer called Huo Weilou's name.
Huo Weilou, who was about to distinguish the sound, found that he had not heard Chen Xinyue's voice, and felt that he had hallucinations just now. He shook his head and then followed the traces.
