“Logically speaking, if it was done by another country, it must be because they want to cause a dispute between Da Ling and Beicheng. This token should be pointing directly at Beicheng, and not specifically pointing at anyone else. Even if it was pointed at someone, wouldn’t it be more infuriating to point at Empress Beicheng than Fu Xu?”
Pausing for a moment, Xue Yan continued. “This evidence already leads to them. There are no other clues. Regardless of whether Fu Xu did it or not, we must find him and find out what happened. Moreover, if they wanted to use our hands to kill Fu Xu, then why did they take Wufu away? Wouldn’t it be faster to achieve his goal if he killed Wufu directly and pretended that it was Fu Xu who did it? Obviously, their goal is not to kill Fu Xu, but to find him.”
“Yes.” Jiang Yue nodded as well. “They’ve already taken Wufu away and left a token. Wufu’s life shouldn’t be in danger for the time being.”
Xue Yan also felt that Wufu’s life was temporarily not in danger.
The people who took Wufu away wanted them to find Fu Xu, but they had not done so yet. The two of them were just not sure why they were being used to lure Fu Xu out. Was it a trap or something else…
It wasn’t appropriate to discuss this in front of the young general. After all, he and Jiang Yue had been reborn, while the other had transmigrated from another world.
He only saw Xue Yan let Shao Shuting send that young general back to the barracks and let that young general tell Shao Shuting that the people in the barracks didn’t need to look for Wufu.
He had been taken away so soundlessly that even if the military camp continued to search day and night, they still would not be able to find him.
After the general had gone far away on his horse, Jiang Yue spoke again. “Wufu is in their hands. We must follow their wishes and find Fu Xu first. Only by finding Fu Xu will we know why he was captured. The person who captured Wufu must have a master plan. His motive is obviously not pure. What we can do now is to follow the clues and find Wufu’s whereabouts to save Wufu. They successfully took Wufu away from the military without a sound. If we let someone else go, I won’t be at ease. You definitely won’t be at ease either. Let’s go to Beicheng Country personally to find out why this happened.”
Xue Yan nodded.
Of course, he was worried about Wufu.
No matter what, they had to bring Wufu back safely.
“Let’s talk to Princess Jin first.” Xue Yan also opened his mouth. “Let Princess Jin know so she can pay more attention to the family. When we meet the rest, we can just say that there’s something going on in the imperial capital again and we need to go over so that they won’t worry. Especially our parents. If they knew that Wufu was missing, they would be so worried that they wouldn’t be able to sleep every night.”
“Yes.” Jiang Yue didn’t have any objections. She didn’t want anyone at home to worry. “Shall we set off after lunch?”
“Sounds good.” Xue Yan had no objections.
When they got home, they whispered to Princess Jin. Princess Jin immediately told them not to worry and that she was at home to protect the family. Then, they told their families that something had happened in the imperial capital again and that they had to make a trip together.
All these years, it was common to see them going to places together. Their families were used to it. In addition, their families had long known that he was the Emperor of Da Ling and would return to the Imperial Capital from time to time to deal with some matters. Anyway, even if they went to the Imperial Capital now, as long as they said that they had something to do, their families would not ask anything. Therefore, after lunch, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan set off away from the village.
For convenience, Jiang Yue even dressed up as a man to make things easier for them. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. She looked extremely handsome, just like some young master.
