Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 431 A Handkerchief

The Plum Blossom Guards make their living by relying on intelligence. As they are directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, anyone who can become the leader of the Plum Blossom Guards is not a reckless person.

I don't know how the people he sent persuaded the Emperor of Liuzhou with their eloquence, but since the emperor had already given the order, Princess Mingzhu naturally agreed readily.

"But there are no clues? If those northerners escape with Rousi, where will you chase them?"

"My Lady, you may not know this, but I am sure that the group of northerners are in Luan City, and my men are watching the city gates and the port, so they have no chance to escape."

This is why Sun Wei traveled around in a high-profile manner and told people without hesitation that he was from the Plum Blossom Guard. He was telling the northerners hiding in Luancheng that they had to kill him before they could get out.

The longer they are trapped in Luancheng, the more likely something unexpected will happen, and the people of the North will of course be eager to return to the North.

Once this group of northerners take action, they will be caught by the fox's tail.

However, these northerners were really patient. Sun Wei investigated for several days but still had no clues, so he came to Princess Mingzhu for help.

That being said, the Plum Blossom Guards have many spies in Yuezhou, so it's not surprising that they were able to find out where Princess Rousi was taken, but it's not surprising that they were so well-informed in Liuzhou...

Li Chengxi, who was watching the show on the other side of the screen, felt that this matter must be related to Tang Lianyu.

"In addition, one of my subordinates once found the hiding place of these northerners and even met Princess Rousi. However, he was discovered by the enemy and was dead when he came back, holding this item tightly in his hand."

Sun Wei took out a bright yellow handkerchief from his arms. It was embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns, and had the title of Princess Rousi written on the bottom.

The imperial guard took the handkerchief and handed it to Princess Mingzhu. She looked at it and said:

"Besides this, are there no other clues?"

"I am incompetent and have not been able to find more clues."

What can a handkerchief represent?
At least write a few words.

There is nothing we can do about this, after all, we are being chased.

The only person who knew the location was dead, and the only clue was a handkerchief. Sun Wei said:

"I got this handkerchief this morning. Since there are many people in Luan City recently, these people from the North should not have moved away yet. But in a few days, it's hard to say."

This is also why Sun Wei gave up the game today. There was no time to hesitate.

The people of the North don't look much different from those of the Central Plains, but they have a princess named Rousi with them, and this princess is not stupid. If she has the chance to come into contact with outsiders, she will definitely ask for help. Maybe she is still bound by shackles or something like that.

Therefore, it is actually very troublesome for them to transfer the princess. What Luancheng lacks the least now is chivalrous men who stand up to injustice when they see it, so the transfer requires caution.

But they didn't know whether their base had been exposed, and they would definitely try every means to move in a short time. By the time they moved to another place, the handkerchief, the only clue, would have lost its meaning, and there would not be much time left for Sun Wei to find the location.

"Look, can you see anything on the handkerchief?"

The princess casually handed the handkerchief to Li Yingluo beside her. Li Yingluo looked at it and handed it to Zheng Yinping, and finally to Yang Yiyi.

The handkerchief was wrinkled, which showed that it had definitely been held tightly in someone's hand. There was also some black, oily substance on it, but other than that, there were no other clues.

Yang Yiyi was not good at using her brain. She was about to return the handkerchief when Tang Lianyu, who had been silent, suddenly said:
"Lady Yang once resolved the conflict between the Wen and Qing families in Silk City. Her intelligence and wisdom are admirable. Perhaps Lady Yang can see something."

The incident in Silk City did not become a big deal, but Yang Yiyi once wrote a letter to Li Yingluo. Although there was no evidence, the whole thing had actually spread among the circle of children of senior executives.

Even Princess Mingzhu had heard about this, and upon hearing Tang Lianyu's reminder, she also said:
"Can you find Princess Rousi? This will be a great achievement."

Yang Yiyi quickly panicked under the gazes of everyone in the room. Others didn't know what was going on, but Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping knew very well that it must be Li Chengxi who was acting as the military strategist behind the scenes, and Li Chengxi's existence could not be mentioned.

They were just trying to smooth things over when Yang Yiyi suddenly said:
"Can I keep this handkerchief for a while? I need to think about it. I'm going to the bathroom first."

"..."

Can't you just think here?
Does the smell in the toilet help broaden your mind?

Although this excuse is a bit speechless, even the princess has no right to control other people's poop and fart.

Yang Yiyi took the handkerchief and ran down the corridor.

Of course, she didn’t really go to the toilet, but found an empty room and started to seek help outside the venue. –-——----

To be honest, this matter has nothing to do with Yang Yiyi. According to this girl's thinking, it is probably just a matter of me taking care of it if something happens.

What's more, this matter is related to people from the north and it involves kidnapping. Yang Yiyi, who is eager to help others and is righteous, cannot possibly pretend not to see it.

However, Li Chengxi thought that it was okay to take care of this matter and do a favor for the Yuezhou Kingdom at the same time.

Don't forget who Yang Yiyi's biggest enemy is. The Liu family is in Yuezhou Kingdom. When she falls out with them in the future, having the support of the Yuezhou Kingdom court will be a help at least.

Li Chengxi's plan was good, but looking at the handkerchief in his hand, he also felt it was outrageous.

No, it’s just a handkerchief, what kind of clue is that?
You don't really think I can tell the future, do you?
The item introduction only said that this handkerchief was Princess Rousi's personal item, and there was no other useful description.

By the way, the name Princess Rousi has a lot of flaws. Li Chengxi's first reaction was to ask if there was a Prince Jack. I'm afraid this princess is not suitable for a boat ride...

Pulling away, back to the topic.

The bright yellow handkerchief was made of good material, with some wavy black oil stains mixed in with the dragon and phoenix patterns.

The wavy oil stains might be the result of wiping something, but other than that, no further clues can be seen with the naked eye.

He lowered his head and sniffed, he could smell an oily smell and a faint scent that sounded like a flower, but Li Chengxi didn't know what flower it was.

Under such conditions, even Sherlock Holmes would be at a loss.

Maybe the handkerchief has some special function?

Thinking of this, Li Chengxi took out the money detector pen and shone it, hoping to see some words that would react to ultraviolet rays. Seeing that it was useless, he found a lighter to heat it, but it still didn't work.

That’s right, if you really have the time to design hidden text, it would be easier to just write it out directly.

Li Chengxi scratched his hair, feeling at a loss as to where to start.

"What are you doing? Want to play CS with me?"

Just at this moment, Adas came behind Li Chengxi with a laptop.

"I'm looking for clues."

"clue?"

"That's what happened."

I told Aidas the general idea of ​​what had happened, and she took the handkerchief and sniffed it.

"Well, this is butter. It should be used as lubricant."

Lubricants in ancient times were generally butter or mutton fat. Since there are traces of wiping, it means that Princess Rousi must be wearing iron chains, and the handkerchief rubbed the part of the chain that needed lubrication.

"Any more?"

"Emm... It smells like locust tree gum, very faint. It must have been stuck there accidentally."

In addition to being the goddess of springs and peace, Aidas is also the protector of trees, and understanding plants is part of her job.

"Anything else? There's a faint floral scent. Can you smell it?"

"It's not just one smell, it's a mixture of several smells."

Adas corrected, and she thought for a moment:
"Some of them should be specially made scented powders, and there is one scent that is the newest and clearest, which is the scent of gardenia."

"Gardenia..."

With these clues, can we really locate Princess Rousi?
Li Chengxi frowned and thought about it.

It's really okay.
