Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Locust Village.
After breakfast, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to the riverside with their family to tidy up the vegetable garden.
The vegetable garden was close to their home and had a steady flow of water. It was very convenient to water the plants. Not only did their home have a vegetable garden by the river, but almost every family in the village had a piece of land by the river with a vegetable patch.
When it was almost noon, the vegetable garden tidied and they could go home.
Liu Guixia and the others had already gone back to prepare their meals, but Xue Dafu and Emperor Hao didn’t plan to go back. Instead, they planned to fish by the river for a while before going back. So, only Jiang Yue and Xue Yan left to go home.
When they were about to go home, Xue Yan subconsciously reached out a hand to Jiang Yue to take the hoe from her hand.
Jiang Yue willingly gave it to him.
Xue Yan then carried his hoe and Jiang Yue’s hoe on his shoulder, and his other hand went to carry the dung dustpan on the side.
After that, there was nothing to take home.
Jiang Yue washed her hands by the river and did not go back to wash them. Then, she went home with Xue Yan.
Xue Yan carried two hoes on one shoulder and a manure dustpan in his hand. He walked next to Jiang Yue. When the villagers saw him, perhaps they were too used to seeing them walk like that, so no one felt anything.
The two of them had just come up from the river. In front of them was the village’s cowshed and stable. Other families had also bought horses. There were also people in the village who had bought horses and cattle. Anyway, the sheds were all built together. The sheds were all about the same height. It was quite spectacular to see that many of them.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of galloping horses. The two of them looked at each other and then looked in the direction of the sound.
After a while, a person rode his horse over.
Looking at that person’s appearance, he looked like the newly promoted general that Shao Shuting mentioned.
When the general saw them, he immediately rode his horse towards them.
He didn’t dare to bow, afraid that his identity would be exposed to the villagers. He got off his horse and hurriedly whispered to them, “Your Majesty, Jiang Yue, there’s bad news! Prince Wufu is missing! We searched the entire military camp, but he wasn’t anywhere! The patrol guards said that they did not see Prince Wufu leave the camp. The people in the camp also said that the camp was not infiltrated last night. There was nothing strange that happened. The people in the same tent as Prince Wufu also said that Prince Wufu had slept with them last night, but when they woke up in the morning, he was gone. They did not hear anything strange last night either. In short, he had disappeared without a sound! HWhen the Great General sent someone to look for Prince Wufu, he found such a token on Prince Wufu’s bed. The Great General asked me to send it over.”
As he spoke, he quickly took out the token and handed it over with both hands.
Wufu had disappeared, so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan listened with worry.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan immediately took the token and looked at it.
Jiang Yue had never seen this token before, but there were words on both sides of the token. The front of the token said Beicheng, and the back said Prince Xu’s manor.
Without asking Xue Yan, Jiang Yue could deduce that this was the token of Fu Xu, the cousin of the Empress of Beicheng.
Indeed, in the next moment, Xue Yan frowned and said, “It’s Fu Xu…”
Jiang Yue was still extremely calm. She analyzed the situation with ease, “Since there’s a token, it means that Wufu didn’t disappear for no reason. He must have been taken away by someone. Moreover, they were able to take Wufu away from the military camp without any commotion. Why would they accidentally leave a token for us to discover?”
“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded and agreed. “The person who left this token must have done it on purpose. They want us to think that it’s Fu Xu. But… Why are they targeting Fu Xu?”
