Chapter 361 The Man in Black Descended From the Sky

"The military camp in the northern suburbs is a bit far from the inner city. After the Ninth Prince leaves, the princess will continue to train in the military camp?"

Yan Li nodded: "Martial arts are all about retreating if you don't advance. Those who practice martial arts must not slack off."

"Aren't you worried about danger, princess?"

Yan Li shook his head: "Life is full of risks, and no one can guarantee that they will be safe and smooth throughout their lives."

Ling Ning frowned slightly and fell silent.

"As long as a person is alive, risks are always there." Yan Li looked forward and raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, "Does Miss Ling believe in fate?"

Ling Ning pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "I don't believe everything, but I won't deny it completely."

"I used to believe in fate, and I still believe in it now." Yan Li said calmly, "Although most of the time I believe that fate can be in my own hands, there are some things that manpower cannot beat God no matter what."

Ling Ning felt that her words seemed to come from her thoughts, and there was something in them.

But for a moment it was impossible to tell what she was referring to.

Just out of the intuition of a martial arts practitioner, Ling Ning felt that the road Yan Li took back and forth between the military camp and the palace was not safe.

Especially after the Ninth Prince went to the border and Jiang Yi took the princes back to the Jin Kingdom, Yan Li instantly became a weak and weak woman - at least on the surface, that was true.

So when King Jing told her that the emperor wanted her to accompany Yan Li in and out of the military camp, Ling Ning agreed without saying a word.

Because she understands the emperor's concerns.

And such worries were finally verified in the evening two days later.

When we left the military camp, it was almost dark.

The air was gloomy, as if there was an ominous feeling that a storm was about to come.

Ling Ning unconsciously held the reins tightly, looking around and listening in all directions.

Yan Li was leisurely, with a faint smile on his lips.

Until a group of men in black descended from the sky and blocked their path with murderous intent. Yan Li and Ling Ning reined in their reins almost at the same time and stopped.

The sky is filled with murderous aura, so dense that no one can escape.

The masked men in black had cold and sharp eyes, staring at Yan Li in unison, the long knives in their hands glowing coldly in the night.

Obviously, they came for Yan Li.

Ling Ning's expression became colder a little bit, and she was about to prepare for a counterattack, but she was surprised to find a strange fragrance blowing in the air. She secretly thought it was bad and turned around quickly: "Princess, cover your mouth and nose!"

But it was too late.

The two of them felt dizzy and fell off their horses almost at the same time.

…

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" An urgent report broke the silence in the palace.

In the dead of night, Emperor Zhaocheng, who was about to go to bed, heard this voice, and his face sank in displeasure.

"What are you shouting for in the middle of the night?" Xiao Changhai turned around and walked out, scolding him coldly, "I didn't know the emperor was going to bed?"

"Eunuch Xiao, something big happened outside the palace." The Royal Forest Army who came to report looked anxious, "Princess Nanyang has been kidnapped! Commander Ye got the news and has urgently arranged for people to search for it. However, it is the curfew time in the imperial city. Large-scale The search requires the emperor's decree——"

"What?" Emperor Zhaocheng came out of the inner hall with a shocked and angry look on his face, "What's going on? Why did Princess Nanyang disappear?"

The imperial guard who reported the report knelt down and reported: "Princess Nanyang was intercepted on her way back from the military camp in the northern suburbs——"

"They don't have any guards with them?"

The Royal Forest Army hesitated: "I don't know about my humble position, but Miss Ling is safe and sound. She was sent to the gate of the Protector's Mansion after she passed out. When she woke up, she said that a group of men in black with knives had bewitched them. medicine."

Emperor Zhaocheng was about to say something when Ye Qi, the commander of the imperial army not far away, came in a hurry and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty!"

"I already know everything about Princess Nanyang." Emperor Zhaocheng's voice was cold and filled with anger through gritted teeth, "Immediately arrange for the Royal Forest Army to search the entire city. We must dig three feet into the ground to find her!"

"Yes!" Ye Qi agreed, "The residences of princes and senior officials can be -"

"As long as there are clues, everyone's mansion can be searched." Emperor Zhaocheng issued a death order, "If you can't find Yan Li before dawn tomorrow, come and see me!"

Ye Qi frowned: "I accept my order from my humble position!"

Ye Qi quickly stood up and left.

Emperor Zhaocheng returned to the palace with his hands behind his back and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Changhai poured a cup of tea and presented his hands in front of the Emperor, "Princess Nanyang is a lucky star. Everything will be fine."

Emperor Zhaocheng glanced at him.

Of course he knew that Yan Li would be fine, but what would happen tomorrow morning could not be accurately predicted for the time being.

Emperor Zhaocheng walked to the window and stood there, staring at the dark night outside. A deep and unpredictable luster flashed across his eyes, and his fingers behind him tapped rhythmically, as if waiting for something.
