"Ling Mohan... Ling Mohan..."
Noisy voices drifted in from outside the door. Ling Mohan immediately recognized who it was.
"Have you found the person?"
Upon seeing Ling Mohan, Gu Beichen asked with urgency, without any pause.
The person he was referring to was naturally Murong Jinyun. As soon as he received the news, he had impatiently rushed over. Ling Mohan had always had people watching, so how could the person still be missing?
"Not yet!"
Upon hearing that there was still no news of Murong Jinyun after such a long time, Gu Beichen could no longer hold back and roared in anger: "What kind of job are you doing? After so long, you can't even find one person. And didn't you have the Black Armored Army guarding outside? Where is that person... where is the person now? A living person was lost right under your nose!"
He simply could not believe this news and found it difficult to digest the information that Murong Jinyun was currently missing.
"I am not a god, I am not omnipotent!"
If Murong Jinyun was determined to leave, then even with extraordinary abilities, he would not be able to stop her. Upon learning of Murong Jinyun's disappearance, he had immediately dispatched people to search without a moment's delay, but there was still no news.
"Then tell me, what should we do now? The wedding is imminent, and the bride is gone. How are we going to handle this?"
After calming down, Gu Beichen began to think about the problem calmly.
The entire world knew about their impending marriage. If the bride suddenly disappeared a few days before the wedding, it would definitely cause an uproar and spread like wildfire.
If she fell into the hands of the Xiliang people, then this would be a reason for war. Therefore, the urgent task now was to bring Murong Jinyun back.
"It's rare for you to have grown a brain this time."
It was truly unusual for Gu Beichen to start thinking about the problem.
"Stop the sarcastic remarks. The most important thing is to quickly find the person!"
Gu Beichen was extremely anxious and had no mood to joke with Ling Mohan, deeply worried about where Murong Jinyun was at this moment.
He was even more eager to know whether Murong Jinyun had left on her own or had been coerced.
"I am already looking for her. If you are in a hurry, go and find her yourself!"
If he really annoyed him, he would just throw in the towel and let Gu Beichen figure out how to find the person himself.
"If I had enough manpower, I would need to find you!"
The few people under his command were not enough to find someone in the capital. Otherwise, why would he come here to suffer Ling Mohan's unreasonable temper? It was all out of desperation.
"If you can't do it, then shut your mouth!"
A useless person, blabbering here, not knowing how annoying he was.
"I have already dispatched people to block the news. Before your wedding, I will try my best to find Murong Jinyun. You don't need to worry too much. Instead of wasting your energy, take your people and keep an eye on Baili Xi, see what he's up to."
"Are you suspecting Baili Xi..."
"If you know, then go do it!"
Gu Beichen still had some sense, and there was still hope for him.
"I'll go now."
As soon as the words fell, Gu Beichen's figure was no longer there.
"If you can't find the person, how will you account for it?"
She had been hiding behind the screen since Gu Beichen arrived. After Gu Beichen left, Feng Jin finally came out.
"It seems that the general situation is lost, and Baili Xi, in his desperation, would do such a thing and intercept Murong Jinyun."
After careful consideration, only Baili Xi had the possibility of taking away a living person so quietly under the surveillance of the Black Armored Army.
"Then where do you think Baili Xi would hide her, or has he already transferred Murong Jinyun out?"
So much time had passed since the incident, and there was still no movement at all. It was possible that Murong Jinyun was no longer in the capital.
If Baili Xi really did it, then Baili Xi would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to suppress them. It was estimated that it would not be long before there was trouble. The paper could not wrap fire after all, and this matter could not be concealed for too long.
"It's not certain yet. I've sent people to investigate. If it really comes to the point of war, it will be unavoidable."
He had also prepared himself for war with Xiliang, but he was reluctant to see the suffering of the people and their unrest.
Feng Jin lowered her eyes slightly, concealing the anxiety in her heart.
...
"General, there are Black Armored troops everywhere outside. It's difficult for us to get out for now."
He didn't expect Ling Mohan's actions to be so swift, tracing him here in such a short time.
"Take the princess to the secret chamber first."
"Yes, General."
It seemed they couldn't get out. They could only inconvenience the princess to stay in the secret chamber for a while.
"Young Master, Baili Xi is still in the courtyard. He hasn't come out from morning till night."
Gu Beichen hid in the shadows, his gaze fixed on the courtyard gate, his heart full of worry for Murong Jinyun, whose whereabouts were still unknown. He didn't know how she was doing now.
"Are there any new clues from General Ling?"
"Not yet."
Gu Beichen punched the tree next to him fiercely. A living person had simply vanished without a trace. It couldn't be that she had evaporated.
"Have people continue to guard. As soon as Baili Xi makes a move, rush in."
If it weren't for the fear of disturbing the overall situation with a rash impulse, he would have already brought his men to charge in and search thoroughly to see if Murong Jinyun was there.
"Get out, all of you! Let Baili Xi come see me, get out..."
After Murong Jinyun woke up, she was locked in this dark and inescapable place. Angrily, she smashed everything she could. Baili Xi had such audacity to lock her up.
"Princess, please forgive me. This servant will go and invite General Baili."
The maidservant sent to serve her naturally did not dare to offend Murong Jinyun and hastily went down, scared.
After the servant left, Murong Jinyun quickly calmed down and began to investigate the environment. Baili Xi had locked her in a secret chamber.
She wondered if the soldiers from Dong Chu already knew that she had been abducted. Did Gu Beichen know? Was he already looking for her?
Murong Jinyun studied the door for a while but couldn't find the switch.
"Greetings, Princess."
"Baili Xi, you scoundrel, let me out!"
"Princess, please don't worry. This subject will naturally let you out, but I will have to trouble you to stay here a little longer."
"What exactly do you want to do!"
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Murong Jinyun asked as calmly as possible.
"This humble subject naturally wants to take the princess back to Xiliang."
