"Young Master, after you return from the palace, you should lock yourself in your room. If Young Master has any worries, you can tell us. We will definitely do our best to help you out."

Presumably, the young master's sudden urgency to leave Songmeng was also related to what had happened in the palace.

"I know. However, I'm afraid that you all might not be able to handle this matter." It wasn't that he didn't trust them, but that they couldn't even find the imperial guards, so what could they do?

Ruo Ying was unconvinced. "Young Master's words are wrong. As the saying goes, three smelly smiths and one bright son of a bitch. Although we're only two people, we might really be able to help."

Chu Jingli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This girl had thought things through too simply.

After the emperor went missing, although the palace had the empress overseeing it and the imperial court had the prime minister overseeing it with him, nothing bad would happen in a short amount of time. However, if time went on for a long time, people with ulterior motives would inevitably make use of this opportunity.

Just as he was about to speak, someone reported softly from outside, "General, there is a guest seeking an audience."

In the middle of the night, a guest had come to visit. Who could it be? Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he excitedly said, "Come in quickly!"

It was Jun Yao. She was also wearing a black cloak. It seemed like she did not want others to recognize her.

After all, her appearing at the general's estate late at night was a secret.

"This servant greets the general." She had to pay attention to her surroundings, so she naturally couldn't act frivolously.

"But the empress sent you here with the news?"

She looked warily at Ruo Ying and her companion, unsure if they were suitable for staying in the room.

Chu Jingli understood tacitly, "Don't worry, they are trustworthy people."

Since she knew the general was loyal to the king, she wouldn't take the emperor's safety as a joke. She opened her mouth and said, "General, the Empress already has a clue and has gone to look for the emperor."

"Really?" Chu Jingli revealed a happy expression, "Then where did the Empress go?"

He was already on the verge of being shot out, all he could do was hope to find the Holy Lord as soon as possible.

"The Empress did not say." She shook her head. "The Empress went alone. She wanted me to deliver the message. General, don't worry. She will definitely bring the Emperor back safely."

Chu Jingli took a step back in shock. What? The empress going alone? Why didn't she bring him along? If the Empress also encountered an unfortunate accident, what should be done? If the Emperor and Empress of a country did not see each other, then what would they call countries?

This was too frightening. Why was the Empress acting so impulsively?

"When did the empress leave?" He was still unwilling to give up. As a great general of a country, how could he stay in the mansion and stand idly by the side? He could not allow this to happen.

"Evening." In fact, she was also very puzzled. Why didn't the Empress bring along the Great General? Wouldn't it be safer like this?

Alas, ever since she learned of the news that the Emperor had disappeared, she had been trembling with fear every day. Her tranquility on the surface depended entirely on her disguise. Naturally, this disguise technique was something she had learned from the Empress.

"Ruo Ying, be careful. You guys get ready. Let's go find the Empress." Chu Jingli's tone was firm. If they had set off at dusk, they would not have gone too far. As long as they could find the Empress, they could follow her and find the Emperor. What a complete plan.

However, he did not know that the Empress was a demon, and that demons knew magic. Where they were going was only a matter of time.

She wanted to stop them, but when she thought about it carefully, the Empress had disappeared. It was meaningless for her to stay in the palace, so she decided to follow them out.

Hehe, if Shangguan Wan was here, she wouldn't know if she should be touched or helpless.

"General, this servant will go as well."

In the face of this "great enlightenment", he happily accepted.

"Alright."

Just like that, the four of them travelled through the night to find Shangguan Wan.

Things were not quite right. Although there were very few people at night, it was not hard to find one or two people to ask. However, it was their intention to ask for Shangguan Wan's identity, but there was no news at all.

"Young Master, we couldn't find the slightest trace of her on our way here. Could it be that the Empress just disappeared like that?" In the forest, a few people were riding along the road.

"It is indeed strange." Chu Jingli's brows creased into small hills, and his handsome face revealed a hint of worry.

At this moment, Jun Yao was also thinking about all sorts of possibilities.

Could it be that the moment the Empress left the Imperial Palace, she was taken away by a vicious person? Or the Empress was accidentally killed by some accident, such as suddenly falling from the sky and pressing down on her, or falling into the river while drinking water and drowning.

These things did not seem to fit the Empress's identity. The heavens definitely would not let her die so simply.

Pui! What is there to curse about? Niangniang, don't blame the Empress who is far away. Your servant's mouth is asking for a beating, so please come out quickly and clean it up.

Of course, it was useless. How could "heartless" abandon his mistress just because he had said so?

Like a shadow, these words caused Jun Yao to be on high alert. "Young Master, why do I feel like the forest is so eerie? It's a bit scary."

Hearing Ruo Ying's words, everyone looked around. It was indeed a little scary.

"Don't worry. With me here, nothing will happen."

There were plenty of bandits in this area, so the officials did not really care. If necessary, he, the great general, wanted to be in charge.

There were some things that could not be avoided even if one wanted to. More than twenty bandits appeared from all directions.

The leader was a man with a big beard, a round face, and a chubby body.

However, the expression on his face was fiendish. Most people would feel scared upon seeing it.

Although Ruo Ying was a woman, her kung fu skills were almost the same as her body skills. She could be considered someone who had met an old man like Wu Xiaofei by the Empress's side. The fear in her heart lessened by a few levels.

Since she didn't know any martial arts, she might need the protection of the other three people.

The head robber took advantage of the moonlight to clearly see the appearances of the four people. He didn't immediately make a move, but smiled at Chu Jingli while drooling. "You look really good. Do you want to consider staying by the Ba-Serpent's side?"

"Who is the Ba-Serpent?" Shadow asked, puzzled. The sword at his waist had already been unsheathed.

"Idiot, the Ba-Serpent is the name of our boss." A small fry replied contemptuously.

Shadowlike Qi to fall, what? How dare you speak to a girl like that? I've heard that bandits not only plunder wealth, but also beauty. Could it be that these people are different from the bandits of legends?

Wandering Shadow was about to step forward and tear the minion into a thousand pieces, but the Ba-Serpent opened its mouth.

"Leave the silver and scram. As for these two men, especially this beautiful man." His face was filled with infatuation as he gave Chu Jingli a coquettish look, "You can stay."

What a thrilling story, this Ba-Serpent guy is so manly …
