Under Wen Lancheng’s puzzled gaze, Xie Pinggang turned around and left, riding straight to Fortune Pavilion.
There was a night market, and curfew was only in the second half of the night, but Fortune Pavilion was already closed at this time.
Xie Pinggang forced the door open, Shopkeeper Chang looked innocent.
Master Mo was not here.
Xie Pinggang frowned. It was too unfortunate!
Xie Pinggang could not find Mo Chusheng, but Wen Lancheng was already at the Royal Academy. He met the Crown Prince and told him everything.
Zhao Xuanjing’s thoughts were not quite the same as Xie Pinggang’s.
Xie Qiao would not go all the way out of the city for an ordinary ghoul, let alone bringing two young ladies along.
There must be something special about this ghoul…
He immediately asked Zhou Weizong to bring a few people out of the city gate.
After Xie Pinggang met up with the Crown Prince, he looked left and right, but he still did not see Master Mo. “Your Highness, this Master Mo is really mysterious. I went to the Fortune Pavilion personally just now, but I didn’t see her. It’s better to get her to capture the ghouls.”
“Master Mo is responsible for killing demons and monsters. How can she be available every day?” Zhao Xuanjing had also learned to talk nonsense.
However, Xie Pinggang had seen Mo Chusheng’s ability, so when he heard that, he nodded. “That’s right. She’s not like my sister. She doesn’t have the ability to run around and worry about nothing.”
“Minister Xie’s… eyesight is terrible.” Zhao Xuanjing looked at him and felt silly.
Xie Pinggang looked puzzled.
What was wrong with his eyes?
Xie Pinggang had the ability to investigate cases. In the criminal division, the old cases that fell into his hands were investigated quickly. He worked diligently and was meticulous when investigating cases. However, he had a big problem.
If it was not related to the case, his head was as if it was kicked by a donkey. It was useless.
In other words, Xie Pinggang’s mind was focused on official matters. He did not want to think about trivial matters at home. It became an issue.
Zhao Xuanjing did not say much and rode the horse to that route.
Wen Lancheng’s horsemanship was average, and he could not keep up with the Crown Prince’s speed. He was dizzy from the jolt, and he almost vomited the food that he just ate.
At that moment, Feng Yingying and Yu Xian were huddling together to keep warm.
The coachman was half a hundred years old, but he was a man after all, so he stayed far away. He was on the other side of the carriage, obediently, and had almost no sense of presence.
At this moment, the forest was already filled with gusts of chilly wind, which would make one’s head hurt.
“There wasn’t such a strong wind during the day, was there?” Yu Xian felt that the carriage was trembling.
Xie Qiao looked at the dark energy above her head and the large group of ghouls flying around as if they were holding a banquet. She braced herself and said, “It’s nothing serious. The weather is changeable in summer, so it’s normal.”
“There’s not a single star in the sky.” Yu Xian sighed. “It’s pitch-black, and it’s even harder to tell which way it is. We really have to be careful tonight… There’s no fire, and if a snake comes up from the ground, we won’t even be able to see it.”
They had started the fire earlier, but the wind was too strong. Not only did the fire go out in the blink of an eye, but it also blew their faces black.
At this moment, Xie Qiao could have directly captured the ghouls.
However, she was not well prepared because she was not sure how many ghouls there were in this place. If things got out of hand, she would be in deep trouble.
Moreover, it was a little strange for these ghouls to gather together. She had to figure out the reason first.
“When you were scouting the way, I sprinkled some medicinal powder. The snakes, insects and rats would avoid us,” Xie Qiao comforted her.
With that said, Yu Xian heaved a sigh of relief. “Then there’s no need to worry. It’s just that there’s a little wind. It’ll wake us up. If you’re worried, I’ll get some wood to reinforce the carriage frame. That way, we can stay in the carriage.”
Due to the strong wind, the carriage frame shook. They were afraid that the frame would be blown away, so they did not dare to go in..
