Chapter 294 Miss Tang was kidnapped!
The effect of "Yangyang Powder" will be completely eliminated in seven days at most, so if the eldest prince and others want to take action against him, the best time is within these few days.
After Yun Shu strengthened the defenses of the Eastern Palace, he deliberately left a small loophole, waiting for the eldest prince's men to come.
But who knows whether it was because the eldest prince's men were too incompetent and could not find the flaws she left behind.
Or maybe the other party realized that there was something fishy going on.
In short, by the fifth day, the slight effect of the "Itch Powder" on Yun Shu's body had worn off, and she still didn't wait for anyone to attack her.
Yun Shu was puzzled and lifted up the cat in his arms, which had grown more than two or three times, and shook it:
"Fu Fu, do you think it was General Weiyuan's sudden betrayal that day that disrupted the plans of the Crown Prince and his men?"
"Meow~"
Fu Fu's pair of round cat eyes looked dazed and innocent, and his hind legs symbolically kicked twice in the air.
"You mean, the eldest prince and his men didn't cancel the plan, but just held back a big one for me?"
I pressed my fingers twice on Fu Fu's soft and furry belly.
Yun Shu continued seriously:
"If you want to say that I guessed right, meow again.
If you think what I said is wrong, please write it down and tell me what is wrong, okay?"
Fu Fu curled his tail: "Meow~"
"I guessed right!"
Yun Shu raised his eyebrows proudly.
Just when she was about to tease Fu Fu some more, she saw Ting Xue hurriedly walking in from outside, with a look more solemn than she had ever seen before.
Yun Shu's heart tightened, and he quickly put Fu Fu on the soft couch beside him and let him play by himself:
"What happened?"
"News just came from outside the palace that Miss Tang has been kidnapped!"
Tingxue handed an envelope to Yunshu and said softly:
"This was left by the thief. It says on it that it is for you to open in person."
"How could he be abducted? Did the other party send many experts?"
Yun Shu was puzzled.
She had considered that if the eldest prince, who had no moral principles, could not find a chance to deal with her directly, he might try to attack her indirectly from her grandfather and cousin.
So he specifically asked Emperor Xuanwu for a few more reserve Dragon Shadow Guards.
Because the peak period of the Dragon Shadow Guards is only a dozen or twenty years at most, and their training period is long, the "reserve Dragon Shadow Guards" have always existed.
As long as they can beat the current players, they can be converted to regular players.
Of course, even the reservists who have not yet been successfully converted to regular guards can definitely be said to be far superior to ordinary secret guards.
Logically speaking, Tang Xinhua had two reserve Dragon Shadow Guards by her side, so it was impossible for ordinary people to touch her.
Unless the eldest prince really spends a huge amount of money and directly sends out an entire team of secret guards, if this happens, it will definitely cause a big commotion.
If the eldest prince had any sense left, he would not do that.
So...how were the people abducted?
"The person who delivered the letter said that the secret guard you sent also left a message."
Tingxue said quickly:
"He said you can rest assured that the people who kidnapped Miss Tang are nothing to be afraid of!"
Yun Shu: “…”
So this is a trick?
But who allowed them to take advantage of my cousin's safety?
Yun Shu felt uneasy, but he barely suppressed it because of his trust in Dragon Shadow Guard. He pulled out the note from the envelope with a sullen face.
[If you want to save Tang Xinhua, please ask Her Highness the Princess to come to the ruined temple at Shilipo outside the city with five hundred taels of gold. Don't even think about bringing a large group of people here, and don't even think about sending someone else to come for you.
Unless you want to see Tang Xinhua die. 】
"Go to my private vault and get five hundred taels of gold."
Throwing the note aside, Yun Shu took a deep breath:
"I have to go out of town."
"Is it too dangerous for you to leave the city at this time?"
Tingxue was startled and tried to dissuade him, but Yunshu had already made up his mind:
"I have my own plans. Just go and get the gold."
"……Yes."
Thinking that her Highness the Princess is so smart, it is impossible for her to be such a fool to rush to her death.
Tingxue suppressed her worries and went to prepare the five hundred taels of gold, looking back every few steps.
As for Yun Shu, after Ting Xue left, he immediately called out one of his Dragon Shadow Guards:
"Take my token and go to the Imperial Army.
At that time, I will use fireworks as a signal. If fireworks are set off, you should immediately lead people to the place where the fireworks are set off.
If not, then do nothing.”
"Yes!"
Shilipo was not far from where the Capital Camp was stationed. If anything really happened, it would not be difficult to drag people from the Capital Camp to come for rescue.
Yun Shu suspected that the eldest prince was worried that she would not cherish her life, so he would rather let Tang Xinhua die than to go to the appointment in person as written on the note.
That's why we deliberately chose this place.
If this was really what she guessed, it would further prove that the eldest prince did not intend to kill her outside the city.
He probably just wanted to use this to lure her out of the palace, and then find a way to make her contract smallpox...
She put on the medical mask and gloves that she had taken great pains to disguise as an ordinary veil a few days ago.
After getting the box of gold prepared by Tingxue, Yun Shu took the other three Dragon Shadow Guards out of the palace.
They rode at full speed and finally arrived at the ruined temple at Shilipo mentioned on the note. As expected, they saw a masked man in black carrying a big knife and sitting at the door of the ruined temple.
Seeing Yun Shu appear on horseback, the man in black stood up slowly and said with a fake smile:
"Your Highness is so brave! She actually came here like this.
Let me guess, there must be a lot of secret guards following him in secret, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Where are my people?"
He brought the heavy wooden box hanging behind the horse to his front and opened it, revealing the five hundred taels of gold inside.
Yun Shu's face was cold:
"I have already brought the five hundred taels of gold you requested. Should we release him now?"
"Release it! As long as the five hundred taels of gold are real, that person will naturally release it!"
The black-clothed man's eyes brightened after seeing the box of gold:
"After all, I am a man of the Jianghu, and I am here to make money. There is no need for me to have any grudges with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
"Charlatan?"
Yun Shu sneered, locked the box again, and then pushed hard, throwing the box of gold and the key off the horse:
"This is the first time I have seen a gangster threaten or blackmail a princess.
Why, the person behind you is too lazy to even make up a decent identity for you?"
“This is not made up.”
