"It is not good for the Mo Yu army to move out now." Gao Yang frowned, "Now there are too many people watching you in the Ding capital and if the higher-ups were to be alerted, one fear that the trouble would not be small. It is better to let people guard the city gates and tomorrow morning send your residence's people to quietly search the city. It would be better to beat the grass and startle the snake now. "
"Still need to wait for a night?" Ji Yu Shu jumped up, "If one wait for a night, Shen Young Lady would be long dead!" Ji Yu Shu was after all young and impetuous and appreciated Shen Miao. Different from Gao Yang who already had the cruelty and ruthlessness of a politician, in some aspects, Ji Yu Shu still retained a youth's precious sincerity and naivety.
Gao Yang was angry, "What time is it already and you are still thinking of Shen Miao. If one is not careful, our identities will be exposed! "
"Now send the secret department's people to search." Xie Jing Xing said coldly, "I do not want to say it a second time."
"Third Xie!" Gao Yang looked at him, "You want to destroy the big plan because of a girl? Do not forget what you said. "
"Gao Yang, pay attention to your identity." Xie Jing Xing suddenly snapped. His brows were slightly wrinkled and the ink in his peach blossom eyes was even deeper than the Ding capital's night. The sudden anger that was emitted made Gao Yang could not help but tremble.
When Ji Yu Shu saw the situation, he quickly smoothed things over, "Today's matter happened suddenly and no one had expected it. But perhaps the situation is not that bad. First think about what is going on."
Xie Jing Xing was silent for a moment before saying, "Not for anyone but to play such drastic measures in my territory, it really makes one uncomfortable. Since they have the guts to come, tonight let them have a taste of what is called no return! "
…
The Wan Li Lake was crowded with people and the cheers and laughter drowned out all other sounds. The matter of an official's Young Lady disappearing did not seem to cause much of a commotion. This was of course because the Shen family did not spread it out but even if it was spread out, one fear that people would only be busy admiring the grand occasion in front of them.
The Jade Rabbit Fairy had already finished her dance and the males were dazed from watching it while the females were secretly cursing the vixen. The huge Jade Rabbit Lantern was made of snow-white silk cloth. It was coated with a thick layer of grease and was painted with the image of the Jade Rabbit playing with joy. It was decorated with bright and dim candles, slowly floating on the surface of the Wan Li Lake.
The people cheered and ran to the edge of the lake to put down the lanterns they had made. The lanterns were filled with their wishes for the coming year. They rolled them into small strips of paper and placed them in the lanterns before gently pushing them into the water.
Light snow started to fall from the sky. However, the lights on the Wan Li Lake were bright and the fireworks in the sky were bright. For a moment, it was hard to tell if it was in the sky or under the water. Such a beautiful scene that was brightly lit, even during the previous Jade Rabbit Festival, it was a rare sight. There were a few exquisitely carved pleasure boats floating in the middle of the lake. Usually, the nobles would book these pleasure boats to drink and make merry. Today, no one knew who was on these pleasure boats. Because the lake was filled with lanterns, the pleasure boats did not attract much attention.
An unlit pleasure boat was leisurely drifting downstream on the surface of the Wan Li Lake. There were fewer people downstream and the lanterns were all drifting along with the waves. From afar, the pleasure boat seemed to be surrounded by those lanterns. However, the further it went downstream, the further away it was from the city, and the fewer people there were. In the end, there was practically no one there.
Shen Miao was sitting in the innermost room of the pleasure boat and looked coldly at the two people in front of her.
In the dim pleasure boat, there was a small oil lamp that was lit. Shen Miao's mouth was stuffed with a piece of rag and her hands and feet were tied up so well that she could not break free.
The two people on the pleasure boat were dressed in hemp garments and looked very unfamiliar. A tall and skinny man stood at the bow of the boat and looked around. He then walked into the cabin and nodded to the shorter man, saying, "Alright, there's no one here."
