Chapter 438
Mo Shaoxie walked out of the room, and Mo Feng followed closely behind him, his face full of anxiety.
However, Mo Shaoxie made a gesture and Mo Feng immediately stopped talking. He knew his master's character very well and looked back at the closed door. Was he afraid that he would wake up the princess? Mo Feng instantly shut up and followed behind Mo Shaoxie.
Mo Shaoxie walked to the pavilion and sat down, his eyes deep. He asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Mo Feng stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Master, we found a suspicious person in the maple forest outside the city. This person is very good at Qinggong, and we were unable to catch him. He escaped. I suspect that person is the flower thief."
Mo Shaoxie narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and a chill emanated from him. He stood up, glanced in the direction of the room, and said coldly: "Protect the princess, I will go and see it myself." After that, he turned and left, and his figure quickly disappeared in the county government office.
Mo Feng hurriedly followed, and Qiu Kui and Dong Qing heard what was said and stood guard at the door of the room.
Mo Shaoxie left the Flower City and headed straight for the maple forest. As the sun set, the maple forest looked particularly quiet and mysterious. He shuttled through the woods, searching for suspicious traces with sharp eyes.
At this time, the flower thief they were chasing had sneaked into the county government office. Looking at the two people guarding the door, the flower thief laughed evilly and scattered the powder in his hand. Okra and Dongqing felt weak all over and collapsed to the ground.
Oh no, this is bad. Both of them looked anxious.
The flower thief quietly came to Shangguan Ziling's room through the window. With a lustful light flashing in his eyes, he looked at the beauty sleeping on the bed with an evil smile on his lips.
"Oh! Beauty, what a pity, you're already married." The flower thief said to himself, his eyes full of greed and desire.
"I have never slept with a pregnant woman, so I don't know what it feels like. Ever since I saw you on the street, your face has been on my mind."
The moment the flower thief came in, Shangguan Ziling woke up alertly. When she heard the sounds of Qiu Kui and Dong Qing falling to the ground at the door, she knew that they might have been poisoned by Chinese medicine.
The little fat man in the space said: "Master, why don't you just take action and kill this guy? He has harmed so many innocent girls."
Shangguan Ziling held a silver needle in her hand, ready to give this guy a fatal blow as soon as he approached.
Unexpectedly, the flower thief did not come close. Instead, he used acupoint pressing techniques from a distance, and Shangguan Ziling's body stiffened.
"Fuck, I should have fought this flower thief directly, but now I'm being acupunctured." Zi Ling cursed in her heart, but her face remained calm. She knew that she couldn't panic at this moment, otherwise she would only put herself in a more dangerous situation.
In the space, the little fat man also noticed something was wrong. He turned around anxiously, "Master, what should we do? This flower thief can press acupoints from a distance, which shows that he is very skilled in martial arts. Master, your acupoints have been pressed, what should we do?"
Shangguan Ziling comforted him, "Don't worry, I will use my inner strength to open the acupuncture points."
However, the flower thief did not seem to be in a hurry to leave. He chuckled, with a hint of teasing in his voice, "Beauty, I didn't expect you to be so alert and actually woke up. But it would be interesting if you woke up."
He actually realized that she was awake and pretending to be asleep.
As the flower thief spoke, he took a step forward, covered Zi Ling with the blanket on her body, then carried her up, jumped out of the window, and disappeared in the county government office.
Shangguan Ziling was carried on his shoulders, but her mind was full of thoughts. She secretly used her internal energy to try to break through the acupuncture points, but the flower thief's technique seemed quite sophisticated. She tried several times but failed. At this time, Shangguan Ziling was a little anxious.
The flower thief carried her and the bumpy ride made her stomach feel very uncomfortable. Baby, I hope you are okay!
At this moment, a surge of anger surged in Zi Ling's heart. She swore that once she broke free from the restraints, she would tear the flower thief into pieces.
Shangguan Ziling knew that she couldn't panic now, she had to calm down, reopen the acupoints and fight with the flower thief in order to preserve her innocence and the baby in her belly.
Shangguan Ziling forced herself to calm down and began to use her internal energy to continuously impact the blocked acupoints.
At the same time, in the vast maple forest outside the city, the leaves swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound.
In this silence, Mo Shaoxie suddenly felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, his brows furrowed, and his hands covered his chest.
Mo Feng, who was following Mo Shaoxie, noticed something was wrong with his master and asked hurriedly with concern: "Master, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mo Shaoxie's eyes were cold as he scanned the surrounding scenery, as if he was looking for something. He said in a deep voice, "Is this where the person was lost?"
Mo Feng nodded and replied, "Yes, Master. We chased him deep into the maple forest and lost the trace of that man. I have sent secret guards to guard the surroundings and search everywhere, but I have not found any clues yet."
Mo Shaoxie's uneasiness grew stronger when he heard this. He soared into the air and looked down at the entire maple forest. He saw densely packed maple trees arranged in rows. In such an environment, it was easy to hide a person. No wonder he was lost.
After Mo Shaoxie landed, he took a deep breath and tried to calm his panic. He said coldly, "Send people to continue searching in the maple forest. Don't miss any corner." After that, he turned and rushed towards Huacheng.
Mo Shaoxie's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the maple forest.
Mo Feng stayed where he was and continued to direct the secret guards to search.
As the search deepened, every leaf and branch in the maple forest seemed to become a clue for the secret guards to explore. However, despite their careful and relentless search, they still did not find any trace of the missing person.
Bei Suqi came to the backyard leisurely at this moment. He saw Qiuqiu and Dongqing lying on the ground at a glance, both of them looked pale.
Bei Suqi's heart tightened, and he immediately felt a sense of unease spreading.
"What's going on?" Bei Suqi's voice was trembling. He ran over and helped Qiu Kui up. Qiu Kui leaned against the wall limply, calling out weakly: "Princess...Princess..."
Bei Suqi's heart sank suddenly. He immediately stood up and pushed the door open, only to see that the room was empty and his cousin was long gone.
Bei Suqi's face turned pale in an instant. He walked out anxiously and paced back and forth in the yard in agitation. Something happened to his cousin! And where was the regent? What was going on?
Qiu Kui looked at Bei Suqi's anxious expression and tears suddenly fell from her eyes. She choked and said, "The prince is out and the princess is sleeping. Just now a gust of wind blew and we fell to the ground without any strength. We don't know what happened..."
Bei Suqi was in a panic, and suddenly thought of a terrible possibility: "Cousin, could she be captured by a flower thief?" As soon as he finished speaking, his heart was in a knot. He couldn't imagine what danger his cousin might encounter, and his heart was filled with fear and anxiety.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came. Mo Shaoxie had just returned from the county government office and noticed something was wrong in the backyard. He walked into the yard with a gloomy face and saw the okra and holly lying on the ground. An ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart.
When Bei Suqi saw Mo Shaoxie coming back, he seemed to have found his backbone, and hurried forward and said, "Brother-in-law, my cousin is missing!" His voice was trembling and anxious, and he was obviously panicked to the extreme.
Mo Shaoxie felt a chill suddenly coming out of his body when he heard this. He grabbed Bei Suqi's hand, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "What did you say? Ling'er is missing?"
Bei Suqi nodded, his eyes full of worry and fear.
Mo Shaoxie didn't say anything. He silently let go of Bei Suqi's hand and turned to walk towards the room. He needed to check the scene in person to see if he could find some clues. He walked into the room and carefully looked at every corner, looking for possible traces.
However, in addition to the messy bed in the room, even the blanket he had covered Ling'er was missing. It was obvious that Ling'er had been kidnapped.
Mo Shaoxie murmured, "Ling'er, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone out. I should have stayed with you. Ling'er, please don't get into any trouble."
Mo Shaoxie turned and walked out of the room, exuding an aura that said "keep away from strangers" and fired a flare into the sky.
Mo Shaoxie's figure quickly disappeared in the yard, his heart filled with anxiety and anger.
At this time, in the maple forest outside the city, Mo Feng and others also saw the signal flares blooming in the sky. Their faces instantly became solemn, and they all rushed towards the direction of Huacheng.
Qiu Kui and Dong Qing struggled to sit up, their faces full of guilt and self-blame. They knew that they had failed to protect the princess and put her in danger.
"Princess...it's all our fault..." Qiu Kui said while choking.
"If anything happens to the princess, I will commit suicide to apologize," Dongqing said with red eyes.
Bei Suqi shook his head and asked someone to call a doctor.
As time passed, Bei Suqi's heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
