When he returned to the residence, the scene had been cleaned up spotlessly. Yang Yi's face was solemn and tearful as he told him: "Big brother, everything has been thoroughly searched, but nothing was found!"

  There were some clues before, but now they're all gone after this commotion. Who is the mastermind behind the scenes? How can someone be so cunning and shake off the Jin Yiwei's pursuit in such a short time?

  This man seems to be very clear about his own way of doing things...... Chen Xiang was hesitating when he heard Yang Yi say again: "Xing Zongguan has repeatedly instructed that we must not fail, now that the person is lost, how can we explain it to him?"

  Chen Xiang's hand rested on the embroidered spring knife without moving, and it wasn't until much later that he let out a cold laugh.

  How to settle the difference? He is not Xingfu's dog, what can Xingfu do to him? If he quits now, Xingfu can only stare and wag his tail. But this matter indeed concerns himself, he cannot just drop it...

  "I'll talk to you later." He swiftly mounted his horse, turned around and galloped towards the Desheng Gate. Yang Xian and Liu Yong's men had already gathered at the civilian residence where they were previously staying, and upon seeing him arrive, they all swarmed up to him.

  "Have you found any clues?" He tossed the whip aside, sat down in a chair with some annoyance, and jerked his chin up at each of them.

  "Big brother, I followed that group of people to the Tongzhou direction." Liu Yong stepped forward and bowed his hands, carefully recalling the scene at the time, seeming somewhat uncertain, and added: "From my experience fighting with him, his moves seem quite familiar."

  Chen Xiang regained his composure and calmly said: "Think carefully, when exactly did you have a fight with him."

  "When escorting Prince Wang out of the city, he had a fight with him at Anqing Gate because he refused to let Prince Wang leave...". Liu Yong couldn't help but have some doubts about his judgment: "But he's a general, why..."

  Yuan Hong is also the guardian general of Zi Jing Guan! Chen Xiang suddenly stood up and said to Liu Yong: "Pursue! Since they have a large number of people, they will inevitably reveal some clues. Wait until we find out where they are hiding and come back to report to me."

  On the other hand, he ordered Yang Yi: "Tomorrow morning, you will enter the city and check if there is anyone on leave among the guards of Anzhen Gate. If there is, first capture his wife and children for me!"

  Chen Xiang paced back and forth in the room, suddenly seeming to think of something, looked at the remaining Jin Yiwei and frowned: "Follow me!"

  Previously, in order to lure Shi Tongzhou out of his hiding place, they had been keeping a close eye on Shi Tongzhou's sister and her husband's family. In the end, it was indeed through them that Shi Tongzhou was lured back from Tartary.

  Now that Shi Tongzhou has been rescued by an unknown force, they can only start with his sister and brother-in-law, and first capture the people. Shi Tongzhou is a slippery person, in order to save his life, he will definitely not say much to those people, and those people will also need his sister and brother-in-law to open his mouth.

  "After all, he is the catcher of Shuntian Prefecture. If we alert Shuntian Prefecture..." Yang Xian looked at Chen Xiang with some hesitation and advised: "It's better to have one less thing than one more thing. Why don't we just..."

  Chen Xiang raised his hand to stop him from continuing, turned around and gave him a cold look, saying: "Didn't you hear what I said? Take action, kill them!"

  Since they have the ability to kidnap Shi Tongzhou, they may not necessarily ignore his sister and brother-in-law. Once they react, it will be another trouble. It's better to kill them and get it over with.

  Anyway, we're all in the same boat and will die sooner or later.

  Yang Xian did not dare to persuade him again, and immediately nodded in agreement. He beckoned a few people with his hand and turned around to rush into the night.

  At this moment, Shi Tongzhou's heart was racing wildly, almost dying of fright on the spot. As soon as his eyes met those of the people in front of and behind him, he couldn't help but let out a loud wail.

  "Everyone, I may not have done anything good in my life, but I am a true believer of the Heavenly Master. During festivals and holidays, I would go to the temple to burn incense and make offerings. I don't know where I offended you, Taoist masters..."

  No matter how loudly he shouted, these young-looking Taoist priests didn't even give him a glance, and continued on their way, unmoved.

  It's really strange, these days Taoist priests don't cultivate immortality in the temple, but instead run to this mundane world to manage worldly affairs? His eyes rolled around quickly, thinking rapidly about where these mysterious Taoist priests came from, but couldn't figure it out.

  However, it's an undisputed fact that they did save themselves. He knew how ruthless and cunning his adoptive father was; if he waited until they entered the city, he would never see the sun on the second day...

  How did this capital city become so well-informed all of a sudden? It was just an overnight stay, yet three groups of people came one after another to abduct me?

  Among them, there is one who will absolutely not be mistaken ----- isn't it Wang Datong, Yuan Hong's sworn brother? He must want to catch him and hand him over to the Dalisi Temple to clear Yuan Hong of suspicion.

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards himself. He was too greedy and had been deceived by those people's few words, and even drew the map of Tongzhou's city defense for them.

  This not only offended Xingfu, but also added a lot of trouble to himself, and brought great disaster upon himself. He cursed in his heart, but was also worried about his sister and brother-in-law. To think that if it weren't for his sister and brother-in-law being implicated, he wouldn't have been foolish enough to run back from Tartary to deliver himself to death.

  I don't know what happened to them, but since Dad and the others were able to find me, they must have also targeted my sister and brother-in-law. My sister's health isn't good, and she just gave birth to my little nephew at the beginning of the year...

  He imagined the Jin Yiwei slaughtering them all in one go and couldn't help but shudder a few times.

  Can't speak, can't speak!

  If he really said something, his sister is done for! That's a sister he almost raised with his own hands!

  "Shi Yu Shi, long time no see." He was lost in thought when he heard a familiar voice piercing through the carriage, and immediately the carriage came to a stop. The curtain lifted, and Ye Jingchuan's enlarged face suddenly appeared before him.

  Ye Jingchuan! The Ye family has actually sent two groups of people to intercept him!

  Shi Tongzhou shifted uncomfortably in the corner, his face a mask of awkwardness as he greeted Ye Jingchu: "Young Master, it's been a while since we last met. How have you been lately? What made you suddenly think of me and summon me here with such fanfare? It's not very... suitable."

  "I think it's not inappropriate at all." Ye Jingchuan crossed his arms, looking at him with the unique enthusiasm and generosity of a young man, his bright eyes staring at him without blinking: "We've been together in Zijing Pass for so many years, don't you want to catch up on old times? Isn't that only natural?"
