“Oh, the pigeons flew in. I caught them when they weren’t paying attention. The fish came from this river,” Ning Yue lied.
Just now, in order to make Jiang Ying believe her, she specially chose a few freshwater fish and threw them into the small river.
Jiang Ying was stunned. There were actually fish in this mountain spring? Why hadn’t he seen them when he first entered the cave to look for something?
However, Jiang Ying did not hesitate for long. He put the wild fruits he had found aside and went up to help Ning Yue. The two of them quickly finished cooking.
Baili, who was completely unaware of all of this, returned to Ning Yue’s house with hope, but they did not return at all. He quickly went to look for Yuan Hui.
Before he could reach Yuan Hui’s place, he was stopped by Ah Da. “Baili, have you found the heir and the heiress?”
Baili’s eyes were filled with anxiety. “Not yet. I’ll go find our emperor!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Ah Da heard this, he was slightly stunned. “It’s already the second day. I’ll send more people to the bottom of the cliff to take a look.”
Baili nodded and went to look for Yuan Hui. The uneasy feeling intensified.
When Yuan Hui found out that Ning Yue and Jiang Ying were being chased, he was so angry that he rushed into the palace to pressure the emperor and asked him to send someone to find them.
Baili also took this time to look for Ah Da. He was not familiar with the capital and felt that it would be better for him to cooperate with Jiang Ying’s subordinates.
“I’ll go to the Nine Gates Military Governor’s Residence to take a look first.” After Baili found Ah Da, he planned to go there to check on the situation.
“Alright, sorry to trouble you. If there’s any situation with the heir and the heiress, you have to tell me immediately!” Ah Da sent someone to the cliff to search for the two of them.
After Baili cupped his fists at Ah Da, he immediately left.
“Hey, isn’t this Lord Baili of Russia?” When Ma Ling saw Baili, he mocked him.
“Lord Ma, I’m Princess Mingyue’s guard. I wonder if Lord Ma has found my master?” Baili’s eyes were filled with anxiety.
When Ma Ling heard this, he frowned fiercely. Instead of answering, he asked, “Are you really working for Jiang Ying?”
“Lord Ma, Princess Mingyue is a princess conferred by your emperor. She’s also a princess of Russia,” Baili said with a sneer.
Did he think that he didn’t know what Ma Ling was up to? If he wanted to use him to climb up, he had to look at the target!
Besides, wasn’t the position of Nine Gates Inspector high enough? Did he still want to be conferred the title of King? Dream on!
Ma Ling panicked and realized that he had gone overboard. He quickly explained, “I’ve already sent more people to investigate.”
“Very good. Then, Lord Ma, do you have any clues about my master and the heir of Prince Jin’s disappearance?” Baili asked directly.
Ma Ling shook his head at Baili. “I don’t know. I was scolded badly by the emperor in the palace just now. If I knew the clues, I would have gone straight to find him.”
When Baili heard this, he turned around and left. Although he did not understand the capital, he more or less knew the character of the high-ranking officials of the Great Yun Nation.
Since Ma Ling said that he didn’t know, he didn’t have to think about getting anything out of him.

After searching for an entire night, he couldn’t find anyone for a hundred miles. He gradually calmed down from his initial panic.
There was a saying that went, ‘I have to see a person to believe he’s alive, and I have to see his corpse to believe he’s dead!’
After such a long time, not to mention corpses, there was not a single piece of flesh at the bottom of the cliff. That meant that the two of them should be fine.
He just didn’t know if they were hiding or had been abducted by the men in black.
It would be fine if it was the first, but it would be troublesome if it was the second.
He had no idea how to investigate the men in black who had kidnapped them.
However, as a citizen of Russia, he did not dare to send people to search openly in the capital. He could only use Yuan Hui’s secret forces in the capital to investigate.
The people from Prince Jin’s Residence and Baili pretended that nothing had happened on the surface. They were so calm that Ma Ling even thought that Jiang Ying had returned.
He thought for a while and arrived at Ning Yue’s place.
Seeing that the door was closed, he asked the guard outside, “What are Princess Mingyue and Prince Jin busy with?”
