Chapter 86 The Young Lady's Disappearance

Flying on eagles without stopping, they arrived in Jinan Prefecture around late afternoon, landing in

the dense forest of . Dismounting, Wuyue plopped down on the grass, feeling a sharp pain in his back and waist. He was now terrified of

Meihua's alluring eyes; whenever he noticed her glancing at him, he immediately looked away, daring not to meet her gaze.

Due to the tense situation and the unclear circumstances, Xiaohong worried that the giant eagles would be too conspicuous and easily exposed, so she ordered the eagle

slave to return to the Yinan hunting grounds, leaving only five giant eagles and one eagle slave behind. At the same time, she sent Elsa with more than ten elite

guards, disguised, to search the city separately for the whereabouts of Madam and Beifeng. Around late afternoon,

two elite guards returned with Jinglilai.

Jinglilai, who had long served as the leader of the Black Eagle Hall, a secret intelligence organization, possessed unparalleled disguise skills; Madam had specifically left her in

the city to meet Wuyue and his group. She informed Wuyue that the Madam and her main force were currently hiding in Yinxiao Manor,

one of , south of the city. The manor was located south of Lishan Mountain, only about ten miles away.

Wuyue hurriedly asked, "How is Sister Beifeng's condition?"

Jinglilai replied, "With the Madam protecting the Grand Commander and channeling her true energy to protect her heart meridian, she still retains

a faint heartbeat, but the situation is very serious."

Wuyue breathed a huge sigh of relief and couldn't help but turn to look at Meihua, who returned a big

eye roll. He smiled ingratiatingly at Meihua, having no doubt about her miraculous healing abilities. As long as

Sister had a breath left, she could definitely save her!

Unexpectedly, Jing Lilai continued, "There's another piece of bad news. The eldest young lady and Zhenwen suddenly

disappeared again the day before yesterday. According to one of her maids, she was worried about the young master's return and went into the city to wait for you

. My men and I have been hiding in the city, not only to assist the young master but also to search for the eldest young lady, but

we haven't found a single clue!" Her face showed obvious worry as she finished speaking.

Upon hearing this, Wuyue inwardly groaned! She thought to herself, with her elder sister's personality, staying in the city would inevitably cause trouble sooner or later!

Now, the city is teeming with imperial guards and soldiers; isn't she in grave danger?

Thinking of this, she could only say to Xiaohong, "Take everyone and hurry with Master Jing to Yinxiao

Manor . Sister Beifeng's injuries are serious and cannot be delayed any longer; the sooner she is treated, the better!"

Before Xiaohong could answer, Green Velvet hurriedly asked, "What about you?"

Wuyue anxiously replied, "I'll stay here with a few team members to wait for news from Eldest Sister. Besides, Sister Ai and about ten

Jingwei team members haven't returned yet. They don't know Madam's condition, so someone needs to wait for them here as well."

Green Velvet reluctantly said, "Why don't you just leave a few team members to wait for them?" "

Are you stupid?! With Eldest Sister's personality, even if the spies find her, she won't know I'm

back. Do you think she'll obediently return to Yinxiao Manor? She's not stupid; she knows she'll be under strict surveillance and

won't be able to get out ! The only solution now is for me to send a few more team members to search for her and try to get her to rejoin us as soon as possible.

Alright, stop nagging and let's go. Sister Beifeng's injuries are more important! I'll be back as soon as we find Eldest Sister!"

Xiaohong thought about it and agreed; only he could persuade this young lady to return. Green Velvet hurriedly said, "In

that case, I'll stay with you too!"

Li'er tightly hugged his right arm, while Ji Wushuang and Wu Yuxue leaned against him, saying in unison,

"I want to stay too!"

As for the mother, Plum Blossom seemed indifferent. She had always thought Wuyue lacked experience, and this impression remained unchanged after

their reunion. Moreover, of all these people,

she was the one who should be the first to rush to Yinxiao Manor.

Wuyue frowned and said, "I say, ladies, nobody knows I'm here,

so why ? Besides, even if I can't beat anyone, don't you trust my lightness skill? If you're around,

I'll be distracted!"

Then she specifically said to Li'er, "Especially you, if something goes wrong, how will I

explain to Uncle Sai? Listen to me, okay?"

Seeing his firm attitude, Green Velvet and the others couldn't insist any further, so they had no choice but to leave first with Xiaohong, Plum Blossom, and the others.

Green Velvet kept turning back as she walked, saying with great reluctance, "Then you must be careful. If you really can't find

Miss , you must come back before dark! We'll look again slowly later..."

Wu Yue spat, "Pah, pah, pah... What a jinx! Can't you say something auspicious?"

After walking a few steps, Li'er couldn't help but run back, grabbing his hand and shaking it repeatedly, "No! You must

promise me that you must return to Yinxiao Manor before dark, otherwise I won't leave!"

Wu Yue gently stroked the thin braid by her temple and said softly, "Okay, I promise you. Li'er, be good

and go with everyone. I'm most worried if you stay here!"

After Xiao Hong and the others left, Wu Yue immediately sent five people into the city to find his eldest sister, instructing them, "If you meet

Captain and Captain Ye, tell them where the lady is. When looking for Miss, look around the city

. You must return here before dark."

All he could do now was wait. Around dusk, seven or eight young team members returned,

but Elsa was still nowhere to be seen. None of them had managed to find out anything about the lady, let alone know

about the young lady's disappearance.

What worried him even more was that, according to two team members who returned later, when they passed by the Jufu Restaurant in the West City,

they heard a commotion coming from a private room upstairs, seemingly a group fight. A large crowd had gathered downstairs. They rushed

upstairs to investigate, only to find pools of blood on the floor, but no sign of the fighters. When they went downstairs to ask the

onlookers and diners, they all said they heard a loud fight upstairs and had fled in fear,

not knowing who was fighting, only that a large group of people were ganging up on one or two people, and that they were all very strong!

Wu Yue exclaimed anxiously, "Could it be the young lady? If it really is her, then this is terrible! Anyone who dares to cause her trouble

must be a top expert among the imperial guards! Heavens, I hope nothing bad has happened to her!"

The team member hurriedly asked, "The young lady? Why is she still in the city?"

Wu Yue said anxiously, "Time is of the essence, I don't have time to explain! You all stay here and wait for Captain Ai and

the others. Once you've gathered them, hurry to Yin Xiao Manor. Madam is there. After I find the young lady, I'll go

there as soon as possible!"

Several team members said in unison, "We'll go with you, young master. Just leave two sisters to wait for Captain Ai."

"That's fine."

Wu Yue shook his head and said, "Too many people would make us too conspicuous and easier to expose. Besides, your lightness skills aren't as good as mine.

Time is of the essence, I'm going!"

With that, he leaped into the air and soared down the mountain, heading north. How could those elite guards be at ease? They hurriedly chased after

him, but how could they catch up? They chased him all the way to the south gate, but there was no trace of him.

When he reached the south gate, Wu Yue saw many people gathered outside the city wall, chattering about something.

Curious, he squeezed in to take a look and saw that it was a wanted notice from the government for wanted criminals of the imperial court. A row of portraits of his wife,

his eldest sister it.

Perhaps because his wife and the others rarely appeared in public, the portraits were somewhat different from their actual appearances. Although he had

disguised himself as a servant, he remembered the saying that a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, so he dared not linger and headed towards

the city gate. Thinking that these portraits were posted inside and outside the city, and that his eldest sister was still wandering around inside the city, he became even more

anxious!

A small squad of soldiers was checking people at the city gate. He managed to sneak into the city and arrived at the Jufu Restaurant in the west of the city.

He asked a middle-aged vendor selling sesame cakes across the street, who told him that two women

had fought with a group of people in a private room upstairs during dinner.

Wuyue hurriedly asked, "What happened next? Were the two women injured? Where did they go?"

The middle-aged vendor shook his head: "I don't know, but with so many grown men fighting against two women,

they're probably in grave danger!"

Wuyue asked other vendors and shop assistants nearby, but couldn't find out anything about his elder sister. As

dusk approached, fewer people were on the streets, but small squads of soldiers patrolled from time to time. He secretly sneaked to the vicinity of Muyun Mansion. It was

quiet and deserted inside. He walked along the courtyard wall for a while, but he still

vividly remembered and dared not try them again.

He went around to the south gate and stood under the big locust tree. The gatehouse was now staffed with soldiers on duty, and a soldier holding a spear stood on each side of the gate

. He craned his neck to look inside the door, where he could faintly hear

the sounds of drinking and playing drinking games. He walked past the gate, trying to get a better look, but the guards outside noticed him and shouted, "

What are you doing here ? What are you doing, peeking around like that?"

Wu Yue smiled obsequiously, "I'm a waiter at Fuwang Restaurant. I heard the soldiers drinking inside and wanted to ask if

they needed me to bring them some wine."

The guard cursed, "This is a military restricted area. How dare you come here? Get lost!"

Wu Yue had no choice but to search in the east of the city, then the north. He searched for most of the night, shivering from the cold, but found

nothing He was getting increasingly anxious. Knowing his elder sister's personality, she would never quietly find a place to hide.

The city was calm now. Could it be that she had already...?

He dared not think any further. Since he couldn't find her anywhere, and it was already late at night, he had promised Li'er that he would rush

over . He had no choice but to climb down the city wall under cover of darkness and hurriedly return to Lishan. He didn't see anyone. He thought to himself, "Sister Ai and the others must

have already returned to Yinxiao Manor, right?"

He sped south towards Yinxiao Manor, intending to first meet his godmother, check on Sister Beifeng's

injuries , and then find time to visit his eldest sister. Unbeknownst to him, Elsa, upon returning to Lishan and learning he had

gone to the city to search for the eldest daughter, angrily berated her team and then led the entire group out to find him.

His light-footed skills were already quite impressive; he covered the ten-mile distance in the time it takes to drink a cup of hot tea.

However, before even reaching Yinxiao Manor, he could see countless torches burning in the distance, the manor engulfed

in flames, turning the surrounding hillsides a fiery red!

He knew he was in trouble; the entire manor seemed to have been captured by government troops! He approached a nearby farmhouse where an elderly

couple stood by the gate, hands tucked into their sleeves, gazing at the fire at Yinxiao Manor. Buckets and a carrying pole lay at their feet,

seemingly hesitant to rush to help fight the fire.

He stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, sir, what happened at the manor over there?"

The old man looked him up and down for a moment and said, "Young man, are you traveling so late at night to

visit relatives at this manor?"

Wu Yue shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to Li Family Manor, which is still dozens of miles away. My elder sister is sick,

so I wanted to travel through the night to see her."

The old man nodded, gestured towards Yin Xiao Manor, and said, "I don't know why, but last night at dusk,

a large number of government troops and many strangers in plain clothes suddenly appeared, surrounding the manor in a dark mass.

The two sides fought until Hai Shi (9-11 PM) before gradually calming down. I wonder what the situation is like inside now. Alas,

the lady of the manor is a very kind person. My nephew and I even rent land from her to grow crops, and the rent is the lowest

in the area . I don't know why she offended the government and suffered such a misfortune!"

Wu Yue didn't know what was going on there, and seeing so many government troops surrounding the manor, he didn't dare to get too close. He could only stay at

the old man's house for the night.
