Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1036 Clues interrupted
They originally said there was no secret passage, but suddenly they found it. The faces of the Taoists in Lingyun Temple were quite interesting. Thinking about how they had just sworn to the palace guards that there was no secret passage, they might really get into trouble.

But whether there will be trouble or not depends on whether we can find the princess. If we can find her, everything will be fine. If we can't...

That's easy to say. Anyway, the whole family will be executed, so it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less crime.

When the palace guards saw the secret passage, their eyes turned red, but fortunately they did not lose their minds.

It's too narrow in here, it's difficult for one person to walk in, and there's no advantage in having more people. If there are mechanisms or something, I'm afraid as many people as go in will die.

"Please select ten guards to go down with me, and the others will stay here."

After hearing what Yang Yiyi said, the palace guards also calmed down.

The disappearance of the princess is a big deal, but the princess is not the only one who came out with them. Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping are the daughters of the prime minister and the general respectively, and no accidents can happen to either of them.

In order to find the princess, most of the people have been sent to block Wangyun Mountain. If someone takes advantage of the weak defense here to kidnap Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping, the palace guards will have no choice but to die to thank the emperor for his kindness.

Just as Yang Yiyi said, he immediately arranged for the protection of Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping, and quickly selected ten good men to follow Yang Yiyi into the secret passage.

Don’t you know Yang Yiyi’s character? She really takes the lead and rushes forward holding a candlestick in the secret passage that can only accommodate one person.

The main reason why she was so bold was that Li Chengxi was watching over her. If there were any mechanisms or traps, Li Chengxi would naturally issue a warning.

Of course, even if Li Chengxi wasn't watching, with Yang Yiyi's personality, she would probably still be a reckless and hipster.

This secret passage seemed to be an underground crack that originally existed in the mountain. It was later simply repaired and there were almost no signs of smoking on the surrounding rocks.

After all, it's such a dark place and it's easy to get burned without fire. There aren't many signs of smoke, which means that almost no one has walked here.

Moreover, the length of the secret passage was not too exaggerated. Ten imperial guards followed Yang Yiyi and rushed forward rapidly. After about a cup of tea, they saw a dim light in front of them.

After all this, it was almost dawn and all they saw was a slightly white light on the horizon.

Rushing over quickly, everyone cleared away the vines and vegetation that blocked the way and walked out of a natural cave. Looking forward, they saw only a forest with dense shadows.

Walk a few steps forward and look back, you can vaguely see Lingyun Temple looming in the morning mist.

This secret passage should be an escape route used in case Lingyun Temple is surrounded. However, no one has ever used it since it was built. Even the people in Lingyun Temple may not know about it anymore.

If the thieves had invaded from here, they could indeed have bypassed the patrols of the palace guards, but now that we have chased them out, there is no sign of anyone.

The overly dense vegetation and the mist covering the entire mountain made it difficult to find even the footprints left behind.

If all else fails, we can only resort to the stupid method. First, block the entire Wangyun Mountain, and then mobilize all the government officials to conduct a carpet search of the mountain. We must dig three feet into the ground to find the princess.

But that is a matter for the future. When they walked out of the secret passage and found that there were no more clues, the palace guards were so anxious that they wanted to build a wall.

At this time, Yang Yiyi felt the jade sceptre in her arms vibrate again and move in her arms, as if pulling Yang Yiyi's collar and moving to the left.

Yang Yiyi knew that this was Li Chengxi giving her a hint, so she followed Yugui's instructions without saying a word. After walking a few steps, she looked down and saw a pearl hairpin fallen on the lawn.

"Look, is this the princess's pearl hairpin?"

After hearing this, the palace guards who were looking for footprints nearby rushed over.

"Yes, this is indeed the princess's thing!" "Keep looking in this direction, maybe there are more."

Although the hairpin is inserted into the hair, it is not so easy to fall off. It must have been left there on purpose by the princess.

Although Princess Mingzhu likes to watch the fun like a person with ADHD, she is not a naive person and has many ideas in mind.

It is very likely that after she woke up, she discovered that she had been kidnapped, and knew that she could not escape with her fancy moves, so she quietly left behind the pearl hairpin as a clue.

Sure enough, everyone followed the direction of the red hairpin and walked forward. After a few steps, they saw an earring. Walking further, they found a rosary.

They just came out of Jingci Temple. Before leaving, the princess specifically asked for a rosary to wear on her wrist. Now the rosary has been taken apart and used as a road sign.

Moreover, as a princess, she had a lot of odds and ends on her body. Everyone chased her and searched all the way, and soon found a bunch of jewelry.

——The princess really doesn’t mind the weight.

The chase lasted from the time when the sky was just beginning to dawn until the sun rose in the east. Two guards were sent back to report the news, while the others chased all the way to the depths of Wangyun Mountain.

The area of ​​Wangyun Mountain is quite large. Lingyun Temple is only located on the highest peak of Wangyun Mountain. As the crowd chased, they could no longer see where Lingyun Temple was.

But soon there was another piece of bad news and the clue was broken again.

Previously, I could find beads or jewelry as road signs at certain distances, but now the clues are suddenly cut off. I don't know if the princess has finally used up all the scraps she had, or if she was discovered and knocked unconscious.

In short, the clues disappeared completely.

The palace guards were extremely anxious. As the forest was filled with morning mist, many of them even lay on the ground and smelled the footprints in order to see them clearly.

The person who kidnapped the princess must have had good martial arts skills. In addition, it was dark, so it was difficult to find a few clear footprints along the way. It seemed as if he was carrying the princess on his back and climbing walls.

In this situation, it is even more difficult to track, even dogs are useless.

But after looking around, I didn't find any footprints, but I found something else.

There was a large bloodstain on the leaf of a plant that looked like an orchid. The bloodstain was very fresh. If you dipped your hand in it, you would find that it had not yet solidified, which meant that it had been left there no more than ten minutes ago.

I sniffed it and there was no fishy smell of wild animals. It should not be the bloodstains left by injured wild animals in the mountains.

Could this be the princess' blood?

Whenever they thought of this possibility, the palace guards' faces turned pale and blue, just like the face-changing performance in Sichuan opera.

"That villain must be not far from us. Now we have no clues. Let's spread out and search."

Let’s not talk about whether the bloodstains were left by the princess for now. Since the blood has not coagulated, it means she is nearby and we can still catch up with her before she runs far.

As for the direction...

Aren’t there quite a few people here?

Each person goes in one direction, let’s chase them first.
