Feng Yu looked at them in curiosity. This pair of birds was a little bigger than she expected, just like the bigger birds. They were fattened up and looked very cute.

Xuanyuan Zhan was obviously familiar with these two birds. When he opened the cage, he whistled lightly and the two white birds flapped their wings and flew onto his shoulders, chirping happily.

Feng Yu really liked these round feathered animals. These two small birds were obviously cute to the extreme. She wanted to touch them, but was afraid that they would be too cautious. She could only look at them hopefully with her beautiful big eyes.

No one could ignore such a scorching gaze. Not to mention humans, the two little birds also noticed the two rays of light. They let out chirping sounds and turned their heads to look at her. After looking for a while, they flapped their wings and flew towards her.

But the birds did not linger on her. They kept circling above her head, twirling and chirping more merrily.

"What's the reason? Do I have a problem?"

Feng Yu looked at Xuanyuan Zhan in puzzlement and asked, but Xuanyuan Zhan was extremely clear about the answer to this question.

"Because Yu Er's body was also stained with that fragrance. As long as you have come into contact with it, even if you only lightly touch it with one finger, no matter how much she bathed in the incense within these four days, those two birds would be able to smell that fragrance."

Feng Yu's eyes widened in shock, her mouth formed a big "O". She knew that animals' sense of smell was different from humans. Many animals' sense of smell was several times sharper than humans', but this was too miraculous.

Only, if it was like this, they would definitely be able to find Dou Dou.

Xuanyuan Zhan whistled again. The two little birds flew back to his shoulders obediently.

Xuanyuan Zhan caressed the two birds' heads with his fingers, and they squinted their eyes with a look of enjoyment before chirping a few more times and standing on top of his fingers. Then, Xuanyuan Zhan extended his arm and put them down, and the two birds spread their wings, flying high into the sky.

Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes lit up, and steadied himself on the horse while hugging Feng Yu. "Chase!" He gave the command in a low voice, and Lightning and Thunder Rain leapt after him. The rest of the group followed the two birds on horseback.

The two little birds, one in front and one behind, were not too far apart, neither did they stop in the middle of the journey, nor did they take a detour. They went straight past the rooftops, because they were followed by lightning and rain, and although they could not go straight along the road, they did not get lost.

Dou Dou was obviously in the house.

The bird paused on the wall for a moment, as if to judge more carefully, then flew up again quickly and stopped on the roof of the booklike building at the top of the house, twirling and twirling.

Xuanyuan Zhan and the others stopped when they were far away, they couldn't alert the birds now. They saw everything clearly, so they whistled lightly and called the two birds back.

Feng Yu stretched her neck and looked inside the big house. She really wanted to turn into a bird and fly in to see Dou Dou, but she was not a bird.

"Find a place to hide around, secretly observe the number of people in the mansion, then discuss the patrol routes."

Someone from the Hongfei Pavilion had been following them the entire time. He clearly had a very high status in the Hongfei Pavilion as well. "There's a house of the Hongfei Pavilion near here. The Prince Zhan and Princess can move there." His voice was full of respect.

Feng Yu's eyes lit up, urging Xuanyuan Zhan to move faster. Xuanyuan Zhan swung his reins, and the group slowly walked towards Hongfei Pavilion's house, quickly settling down.

Not long after, Murong Zhi also received the news and hurried over. Xuanyuan Zhan, Feng Yu, Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Qing and Murong Zhi gathered together, and studied their next plans.

"Pavilion Master Murong, do you know about the situation of this mansion?"

Xuanyuan Zhan asked first. Everyone's gaze was cast towards Murong Zhi, but Murong Zhi's face did not reveal too much confidence.

This place is not the residence of the crown prince or any of his henchmen, it is even more unrelated to the Yan Feifei or the people of the esteemed empress's family. Instead, it is related to one Lord Ming of the Ministry of Rites, who has a relatively high position in the Ministry of Rites.

Xuanyuan Zhan naturally thought of this, in his mind, he recalled the appearance of Master Ming, this Master Ming had a normal appearance, and looked a little stiff and stiff, doing things in a proper and respectful manner, and did not have any excessive personal relations with any master, he never expected that he was actually a prince.

"I wonder how many of these hidden stakes the crown prince has under his command." Xuanyuan Zhan squinted his eyes and said softly. It was obvious that his tone was not only cold but also filled with danger.

Feng Yu also knew why he was like this. If she was in her place, the seemingly harmless person beside her would actually be a poisonous snake that could jump out anytime and take a bite out of you. No one would feel safe, right?

"Is this something that the crown prince can do? Is the crown prince that smart? " Shangguan Qing muttered softly. It was obvious that he was not optimistic about Xuanyuan Qingtian's IQ. Although this sentence had a certain degree of prejudice, it also reminded everyone.

"If it wasn't for the crown prince, then there must be a very powerful person behind him. Maybe it's the Yan Fei, or maybe it's something even stronger than the Yan Fei."

Feng Yu suddenly thought back to the words she had unintentionally heard, and she became all the more certain that there was someone hiding behind the Yan Fei.

But...

The Autumn Hunt is going to end in a day, and the reason why they kept Dou Dou's life is to a large extent so that they can wait for the crown prince to come back, but once he does that, the matter will become even more complicated right? "Su Yun said." That's right, we need to research Dou Dou's situation first before we deal with the mastermind. Feng Yu pondered for a moment and thought of another possibility. "Also, since Xuanyuan Zhan can pretend to be sick and leave the Autumn Hunt, the crown prince can also pretend."

This sentence completely reminded them, causing Xuanyuan Zhan's brows to sink, "Perhaps he is already on his way here." he decided.

Feng Yu looked at Xuanyuan Zhan in panic. Murong Zhi frowned slightly as he turned his head to call for a subordinate.

"The layout of the houses here is similar, all by the same craftsman. My subordinate is the craftsman's nephew and is well versed in the craftsman's style, so the internal layout and any secret path can be clearly drawn out."

"This way, we can deduce the patrol route of the guards." Xuanyuan Zhan nodded and said, "But we still need someone to go in and investigate."

"I'll go, I'll go." Shangguan Qing immediately extended her small hand out to recommend herself. Her excited and confident look made her face glow with a splendor that was hard to predict.

Xuanyuan Zhan nodded his head. Obviously, he was completely at ease with Shangguan Qing's martial arts. Feng Yu looked at her enviously.

She suddenly felt that she was very useless. Why couldn't she find Dou Dou and bring him back herself when something happened to him? In the past, she had always wanted to stay away from Xuanyuan Zhan. But now, without Xuanyuan Zhan, it seemed like she really did not know what to do.

Seeing Feng Yu's dejected appearance, Xuanyuan Zhan guessed what she was thinking and only glanced at her without saying anything.

Murong Zhi's underling quickly finished drawing the picture of the mansion. Shangguan Qing looked at it carefully and soon memorized it. He then looked at the sky, which was already turning dark outside.

"What's next is up to Qing Er to investigate."

Everyone looked at Shangguan Qing, who quickly changed into night clothes.

When the time comes, don't be impulsive. If you find out anything you need, just come back. There are too many martial artists around the crown prince, and I heard that the Twin Evil Beasts have also joined in.

Shangguan Yi also knew that his words were inappropriate, so he immediately shut his mouth. Xuanyuan Zhan signaled his good friend and brought Feng Yu to the side.

"Yu Er, everything will be fine." Feng Yu nodded wildly, but there was no trace of relief on her face. Instead, her hands and feet were ice-cold as she let her imagination run wild.

Xuanyuan Zhan's gaze congealed, and he reached out to pull her shoulder, allowing her to look at him face to face.

"Yu Er, with this king here, nothing will happen, everything will go smoothly, even if the Twin Evil Hills are with Dou Dou, they would not dare to act rashly. This duke knows the person called the crown prince very well, and would not tolerate others making their own decisions."

When she thought about it carefully, it was indeed like that. A person like Xuanyuan Qingtian would definitely have an extremely strong desire to control others, and other people's choice was to not obey his orders, which would be detrimental to their dignity.

Seeing that her complexion had recovered a little, Xuanyuan Zhan heaved a sigh of relief and continued to console her.

"Also, Yu Er is very powerful. This king has never seen the code between him and Dou Dou before, and Yu Er does things so carefully. This king can't even compare to them." Xuanyuan Zhan said, "Wait until Dou Dou is rescued, then you must inform this king of those secret codes."

When Feng Yu heard this, his nose wrinkled. Just as she thought that the atmosphere was very good, it instantly disappeared without a trace. His overbearing nature had reappeared.

"Why should I tell you that? This is a secret between Dou Dou and I."

Feng Yu raised her voice, the cat-like vitality and spiciness on her body had clearly fully returned. Xuanyuan Zhan smiled slightly, this was the real woman in his memories who bared her fangs and brandished her claws.

Feng Yu had also realized that now, all of her negative emotions had disappeared. She looked at Xuanyuan Zhan with a grateful look on her face, brimming with energy. She wanted to let Little Dou Wu see her most energetic self after saving Dou Dou.

Shangguan Qing giggled as he watched them from the side. He winked at Feng Yu and immediately set off, his men drawing another pattern as they slowly analyzed the pattern.

Shangguan Qing returned very quickly, and even after entering, he did not have time to catch his breath. She looked very pale, as if something bad had happened to her.

Feng Yu and Xuanyuan Zhan frowned, and their expressions became ugly as well.

"Are you sure?" In order to ask for confirmation, Shangguan Qing nodded strongly, showing that he was sure.

"I was probing the guards just now. That group of people were dressed in the clothes of ordinary servants, and looked like they were the crown prince's private troops. Their footsteps were extremely steady and steady, obviously, they were the group that surrounded Little Yu Er and Dou Dou at the house last time." Shangguan Qing slowed down and continued to speak anxiously, "But passing them by is very simple, they are separated into two groups, one group is patrolling the walls of the big mansion, the other group is patrolling the vicinity of the library holding Dou Dou, the two groups can pass by after the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea."

"After I finished my investigation, I almost bumped into the crown prince. He seems to be in a bad mood, obviously not being too nice to Dou Dou."

Xuanyuan Zhan squinted, his expression dangerous.

"Now!" he said firmly.
