Chapter 392 Hide in the Arctic Mountain

After everyone had rested well, the long line continued to walk towards the Arctic Mountain.

At this time, Guan Yuhong, the manager of Sijin Bank in Jing City, saw a pigeon flying into the yard and landing on a branch.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown, and he quickly went out and grabbed the pigeon.

Guan Yuhong checked the letter tube on the pigeon's leg and found that it was empty.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. The pigeon would not fly for no reason, and then he checked the feathers on the pigeon.

As he expected, a feather was missing from the tail of the pigeon.

Could it be that Marquis came to Beiling...?

But why didn't he receive any news from Marquis before?

What happened to them? Although Beiling was now closed, it was easy to enter the city according to Marquis's Kungfu. Why would he let the pigeon convey the message?

Thinking of this, Guan Yuhong immediately released the pigeon and ran after the pigeon.

After arriving near the city gate, Guan Yuhong watched the pigeon flying outside the city.

He frowned slightly. The city was closed now, but fortunately, the people in the city were allowed to go out.

Then, Guan Yuhong tidied up his clothes, walked to the city gate, and lined up among the people.

When it was Guan Yuhong's turn, the guard who inspected couldn't help but glance at him several times. The people who left the city knew that they couldn't return to the city for the time being. Everyone was carrying a package, but this person had nothing.

The guard looked at Guan Yuhong at this moment and then asked him, "Why did you leave the city?"

"Well, Your Excellency, I work in Jing City. Now, the city is closed, and there was heavy snow before. I worry about my wife and children at home, so I want to go out of the city to have a look." Guan Yuhong said calmly.

After Guan Yuhong finished speaking, the guard nodded and then let him out of the city.

When Guan Yuhong was out of the city, he quickly looked around. Fortunately, the pigeon did not fly far.

Then, he hurried to chase after the pigeon.

After following for a long time, Guan Yuhong found that the pigeon parked in the woods.

He walked into the woods and checked where the pigeon stayed. There were two female corpses, which seemed to have been dead for several days.

Guan Yuhong couldn't help but frown slightly. Then, he looked around and saw a town not far from the woods.

On second thought, it was freezing outside, and maybe they would wait for him in that town.

Guan Yuhong ran to the town immediately.

When he arrived in the town, he found that the town was deserted.

He had been to this town before, and he vaguely remembered that there were three inns.

Therefore, it was not difficult to find them. When he walked to the first inn, he couldn't help but frown. The inn was doing a funeral.

Then, Guan Yuhong continued to walk forward. When he walked to the second inn, the door was closed tightly. He could not help but mutter in his heart.

Finally, he arrived at the third inn, the door was open. Guan Yuhong took a look and walked straight in.

"Sir, do you want to eat or stay overnight?" At this moment, the guy in the shop saw someone coming in, so he greeted with a smile and asked.

Guan Yuhong smiled at the boy and then asked, "I'm here to find someone. Are there any strangers staying here today?"

"Oh, I see. Sir, please come with me." Hearing that Guan Yuhong said to find someone, the boy nodded with a smile and then led Guan Yuhong upstairs.

Guan Yuhong nodded and then followed the boy.

When they got upstairs, the boy stopped at a door, "It's here."

Guan Yuhong nodded, and then the boy left. Guan Yuhong knocked on the door lightly.

It was Mo Li who came to open the door. After seeing Guan Yuhong, Mo Li said, "Manager Mo, you are here."

After speaking, he opened the door. Guan Yuhong nodded and walked in.

He walked to Shuo Ling and knelt, "My Lord, it's really you."

"Get up." Shuo Ling said while looking at him.

Guan Yuhong stood up and then asked, "My Lord, why are you coming to Beiling? What's the matter?"

"Manager Guan, Madam came to Beiling, and Marquis came to find Madam." Mo Li said at this moment.

After Guan Yuhong heard this, he couldn't help being stunned. He couldn't believe it, "Madam?"

Everyone knew that Marquis was a sexually continent. Why did he suddenly have a madam?

"We'll talk about this later. Madam has something to do in Beiling. Now, you send someone to find out if there is any movement recently." At this moment, Mo Li looked at Shuo Ling on the side, who was watching Guan Yuhong with cold eyes. Mo Li knew that Marquis was extremely dissatisfied with the response of the manager, so he quickly said.

Guan Yuhong nodded after hearing this, "Yes, I will arrange for someone to investigate!"

Guan Yuhong arched his hands to say.

And then, he walked outside.

At this time, in the hall of Beiling Palace, Zhan Qi and Cang Qiong were standing there.

"How's the investigation?" Yan Ji asked while looking at them.

The two looked at each other and then said, "Your Majesty, we didn't find anything."

"Useless guys! It's been a few days. You still haven't found the people!" Hearing this, Yan Ji was furious and pushed the memorial on the table down.

Upon seeing this, Cang Qiong and Zhan Qi hurriedly knelt. Cang Qiong arched his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we both suspect that Infanta Qingcheng has left Jing City."

"Left the city? We haven't seen them out of Beiling. Then, you tell me where they are?" Yan Ji then roared.

Zhan Qi, who had not spoken all the time, said at this moment, "Your Majesty, since Infanta Qingcheng is not in Jing City and has not left Beiling, I feel that they must plan something. What about opening the city gate and locking the target out of the city?"

After Yan Ji heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Thinking of what Zhan Qi had said, Yan Ji gradually cooled down.

"Okay, just do it in your way and open the city gate." After thinking for a moment, Yan Ji said.

Then, Zhan Qi and Cang Qiong arched their hands and then retreated.

After they left the palace, Yan Ji looked outside with deep eyes. Then, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He wanted to see what kind of plan this Infanta Qingcheng could make.

It was getting dark. At this time, Uncle Liu had already walked some distance from the foot of the mountain. He chose a concave row of snow and put down the medicine box and baggage on his back.

After resting for a while on the snow, he took out a piece of cake from his bag and ate it.

After walking for such a long distance, Uncle Liu was a little tired. He wanted to hurry up at night, but the snow on the mountain was too thick and it was too difficult to walk. For the sake of safety, Uncle Liu decided to rest here for one night.

Then, Uncle Liu took out a cotton-padded coat from his baggage and put it on himself.

At this time, Guan Yuhong inquired all afternoon.

Finally, he learned that several carriages walked early in the morning through the front town.

After Guan Yuhong knew, he hurried to the town where Shuo Ling was staying.

When he arrived at the inn, Guan Yuhong opened the door and entered.

Hearing the sound, Shuo Ling turned to look at him and asked, "How is it going?"

"My Lord, I have learned that several carriages were going in the same direction in the front town today." Guan Yuhong hurriedly arched his hands and said.

Hearing this, Shuo Ling couldn't help but pat the table and then stood up, "Okay, do you know which direction?"

After waiting for the news all afternoon, although Shuo Ling was calm on the surface, he couldn't help but want to know where Yang Zijin was immediately and followed her.

Guan Yuhong pointed the direction and said, "They should be towards the direction of the Arctic Mountain."

"Arctic Mountain?" Shuo Ling frowned slightly. The Arctic Mountain was icy and snowy all year round, and the temperature was extremely cold at night. It was prudent for Beiling Emperor to hide the treasure there.

Besides, wolves were often haunted in the Arctic Mountain. If they met a hungry Arctic fox, it might not be easy to get out.

In the chaos, Yang Zijin...

Thinking of this, Shuo Ling said to Guan Yuhong, "I see. You go to contact the secret guards and ask them to go to the Arctic Mountain immediately. Ask them to find the madam and protect her secretly!"

"Yes!" Guan Yuhong hurriedly arched his hands after hearing this.

Shuo Ling nodded at this moment and strode out of the house.

Seeing this, Guan Yuhong turned around, looked at Shuo Ling, and asked, "My Lord, it's late. Where are you going?"

Before he could finish speaking, Shuo Ling had already walked downstairs.

Guan Yuhong felt confused and looked at Mo Li who was packing up, "His Lordship is..."

"He's in a hurry to look for madam!" Mo Li tied the baggage on his body at this time, walked to Guan Yuhong, and said. And then, he chased after Shuo Ling.

Hearing what Mo Li said, Guan Yuhong was full of confusion. Looking for madam?

As the old saying went, even heroes fell for beauties. He wanted to see what kind of person the madam was like, and how she could make Marquis Shuo be like this?

Thinking of this, Guan Yuhong jumped down from the window and disappeared into the night.

When Mo Li went downstairs, he asked the guy in the shop, "Is there any food like cakes in the kitchen?"

"Yes, how much do you need, Your Excellency?" The boy nodded and asked immediately.

Mo Li thought for a while. He had heard of the Arctic Mountain. It was very cold there, and they didn't know how long it would take to find madam after going up the mountain. Even if they found madam, they might not go down the mountain immediately.

Then, Mo Li asked the boy again, "How many do you have?"

"There are some cakes and pastries in the kitchen. It can last about half a month." The boy reflected for a while and then said.

The weather in Beiling was cold and the food was easy to store, so the manager asked the cook to make more cakes just in case of need.

After listening, Mo Li said to the boy, "I want them all."

"Okay, please wait a moment, Master." After hearing this, the boy ran into the kitchen.
