Standing on the side, Mian Yaonce again spoke up. “Prince Yong Yi entrusted me with a letter to deliver toLie Er, that’s why I asked Rong Hu for his whereabouts. However, Lie Er, wholeft Yue Zhong city before I did, has yet to meet up with Duke Ming.
Not even a shred of informationabout him can be found.”
Feng Ming suddenly felt anxious.
He finally understood why theyhad such ugly expressions on their faces.
With Lie Er’s capabilities, hewould have long met up with them if his journey had gone smoothly. Even ifsomething had delayed him on the way, he still would have found a method tosend information to Mian Ya, the King, or the Xiao Family.
But they received no news of him.For him to disappear without a trace on his way to Han Ruo was an extremelyserious matter.
Although Rong Hu felt a bituneasy, he still used some comforting words after seeing Feng Ming’s palecomplexion. “Duke Ming should not worry too much. Lie Er is intelligent. Evenif he is in a crisis, with his abilities, he will surely return unscathed.”
Rong Tian issued a command. “MianYa, immediately mobile your men to search for information on Lie Er.”
He couldn’t help but scrunch hiseyebrows slightly.
Within his circle of trusted aides,the one most flexible and adaptable to change was Lie Er. Successfullyintegrating himself in Yong Yin’s Imperial Palace for several years, he wassimply the best at what he does.
Lie Er was most familiar with thelands of Yong Yin, furthermore, he had Prince Yong Yi as his backer. However,against all odds, Lie Er somehow disappeared from that place.
In Rong Tian’s mind, he wasfaintly aware that the situation was anything but reassuring, especially sinceit happened without any notice.

Trying to tolerate the exhaustionthat was taking a toll on his body, Lie Er slowly opened his eyes.
Although he couldn’t immediatelysit up, he could still carefully examine his surroundings by using his sharpeyes and observation skills he had developed over the years. He could tell thatpreviously he was trapped in a moving carriage; most likely he had beencaptured.
His body felt dizzy, remnantsfrom the swaying motions of the carriage, combined with his incapacitated stateand blurry vision, he concluded that he had been drugged and had lostconsciousness for some time.
As a result, he had no idea wherehe had been taken.
With difficulties, he managed toprop himself up. Hopefully, they would not deprive him of his consciousnessagain. He tried his best to analyze the room while heweakly tore off part of his cloth and draped it over the window leadingoutside. A weak wind could be felt blowing in through the window. The wallswere decorated with colourful drawings depicting all kinds of flowers andplants.
The design was common in Yong Yinamong the rich and powerful households.
Lie Er secretly felt relieved.The design meant he was still within the vicinity of Yong Yin and its boundaryof influence.
He hoped that Yong Yi would bealerted of his capture as soon as possible.
