"What?!" Not only Ye Li, but even Mo Xiu Yao's face revealed a trace of surprise. Mo Xiuyao thought for a moment and frowned. "Why would the Queen of Nanzhao bring the prince to Glass City?" Last year, Princess Anxi gave birth to a little prince in the Central Plains. Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao were not in Glass City at that time. The child was only half a year old now. Even if the Queen of Nanzhao came to Glass City to congratulate them, she would not bring the little prince because of the long journey.
Qin Feng said, "Princess Anxi and her husband did not return to the country after leaving Glass City last year. They continued to travel in the Central Plains. They were planning to return to the country, but when they heard that the Prince Ding Mansion was holding a birthday banquet for the little prince and princess, they returned with the little prince. They did not expect that they would be assassinated by a group of unknown people less than a hundred li from Glass City. Her husband was seriously injured and the whereabouts of the Queen and the little prince are unknown. "
"Where is Her Highness? Let him in, "Ye Li said hurriedly.
Soon, Pu Ah, the King of Nanzhao, walked in. As expected, his luxurious blue Nanjiang clothes were stained with blood. Pu Ah's arms and face were also injured. It was obvious that he had been through a fierce battle.
"Prince Ding, Princess Ding." Because Princess Anxi and Ye Li had a good relationship, Pu Ah was also familiar with Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li. He did not stand on ceremony and said anxiously, "Prince Ding, Princess, please save Anxi and the child!" As he spoke, he bowed in front of Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li. The men of Nanjiang were very proud and would not kneel to others easily. The disappearance of his wife and son had already made this man panic.
Mo Xiuyao hurriedly reached out to support him and said in a low voice, "Pu Ah, don't worry. As long as the Queen of Nanzhao is still in the Northwest, I guarantee that I will be able to find her. The Prince Ding Mansion will also give Nanzhao an explanation for this matter. "
Mo Xiuyao had a natural ability to calm people's hearts and make them trust him. Hearing Prince Ding's words, Pu 'a quickly calmed down. He took a deep breath and said, "If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know, Prince Ding. As long as Anxi and the child can come back safely. "
Mo Xiuyao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sit down first and tell I and Wangfei what happened. Then go to the guest room and have a good rest. You're also badly injured. "
Pu Ah nodded heavily. After sorting out his thoughts, he told him about the assassination attempt. It turned out that in the past six months, Princess Anxi and Pu 'a had been traveling around with their children. In the past six months, the three forces of the Central Plains had been fighting. Princess Anxi accepted Ye Li's and Mo Xiuyao's advice and did not get involved. There was nothing much to do in Nanzhao, so the two of them did not remember to go back. This time, they heard that the Prince Ding Mansion was going to hold a birthday banquet for the two little princes and the little princess. Given the relationship between Nanzhao and the Prince Ding Mansion, it was impossible for them not to attend. So the two of them, who had originally planned to go back to Nanzhao, turned back. But they did not expect to be ambushed on a deserted official road not far from Li City. Pu 'a led his guards to fight to the death, but the other side had a lot of people and they were not weak. They were caught off guard and were at a disadvantage from the beginning. In the end, Princess Anxi and the child were taken away.
After hearing Pu 'a's words, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li looked at each other and gradually understood. Ye Li called Chief Steward Mo and asked Pu 'a to go and rest. Pu' a had just left when he heard the news and came over, Feng Zhiyao and the others also arrived.
"I told you, that Mo Jingli must be up to something!" Leng Haoyu cursed in a low voice, "But why did he kidnap Princess Anxi? Isn't he afraid that he will disturb the Prince Ding Mansion and alert us? Or does Mo Jingli really have the ability to ignore the Prince Ding Mansion? "
Han Mingyue frowned and looked at Mo Xiuyao, "There is no point in kidnapping Princess Anxi and Mo Jingli won't gain anything from it. The only possibility is that … he wants to ruin the Prince Ding Mansion's birthday banquet. If the envoys of the various countries who came to attend the banquet are assassinated or something happens … "The envoys of the various countries were in the Prince Ding Mansion's territory. Even if it had nothing to do with the Prince Ding Mansion, the Prince Ding Mansion would have to give an explanation to the various countries.
Feng Zhiyao said in a low voice, "If that's the case, he won't just make a move on Princess Anxi. There is also Princess He Lan who is about to arrive at Glass City and the envoys of the western regions. "To put it bluntly, Mo Jingli wanted to make things difficult for the Prince Ding Mansion.
Ye Li lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Feng San, tell Mo Hua to send out the Shadow Guard of the Prince Ding Mansion to receive the envoys of the various countries. They must make sure that these envoys arrive at Glass City safely. Also, send out fifty thousand soldiers from the camp near Glass City and divide them into five hundred men each. They will patrol the area around Glass City twenty-four hours a day. Order Qi Lin to send out two teams to guard Glass City. The other four teams will be stationed in the north, south, east and west. They will be ready to provide support if anything happens. "
"Yes, Princess." Feng Zhiyao nodded and accepted the order.
"What do you all think about the Queen of Nanzhao?" Mo Xiuyao asked. Everyone was silent. After a while, Leng Haoyu sighed in a low voice, "I only hope that Mo Jingli … … will not harm Princess Anxi for the time being if he wants to negotiate with us. Otherwise … … "If the Queen of Nanzhao and the only prince died in Glass City, it would not be good for the relationship between the Prince Ding Mansion and Nanzhao.
"Let's do our best to send people to search everywhere." Feng Zhiyao's voice was serious.
Ye Li nodded and said, "Send out the order. We must be careful. We must ensure the safety of Princess Anxi and the little prince."
Han Mingyue said, "Princess Anxi is not an ordinary person. Mo Jingli is walking around Glass City with such a woman and a child not even half a year old. It is impossible for him to not give himself away. Princess, there is no need to be too anxious. "Ye Li thought for a moment, then said," Then, I will leave this matter to Master Mingyue. " Han Mingyue was once the head of the largest intelligence organization in Da Chu State. He should be more experienced than others in finding people.
Han Mingyue cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I will not disappoint Princess."
Ye Li sighed softly and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Master."
In a cave somewhere outside Glass City, Princess Anxi woke up from her slumber. She rubbed her aching forehead and a sharp glint flashed across her eyes. She immediately regained her consciousness and looked around.
"Are you looking for him?" A man's voice came from not far away. It carried a bit of malice and mockery.
Princess Anxi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man with a thick beard dressed in coarse clothes standing not far away. He was holding a baby in swaddling clothes. He was not familiar with the way he held the baby and did not care. He only held the swaddling clothes casually with one hand. Fortunately, the baby was already asleep, so he was not worried.
"Shuo 'er! Who are you?! "Princess Anxi stared warily at the man in front of her. He looked familiar, but when Princess Anxi thought about it seriously, she realized that she did not remember such a person.
The man seemed to be stunned for a moment before he sneered, "The Queen of Nanzhao is really forgetful. We remember that the last time we met was not long ago."
