Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Captured

Chapter 56

The prince led the people of the Shenji Camp and the Sanqian Camp, as well as his own imperial guards, out of the capital in a mighty manner. The Tatars here were furious because they did not catch a few children.

"Aren't they just a few guards of the Marquis' Mansion? How come they didn't catch them?"

□□ was so angry that he kicked his subordinate fiercely and cursed, "What a waste, he can't even catch women and children."

The subordinate said, "Sir, I clearly saw them go into the back and followed them all the way. Who knew they disappeared."

Wulan thought for a while and said, "Brother, I think there is something strange here."

□□ Although he has a bad temper, he is not a brainless person. After a little thought, he understood what Wulan meant. How could people disappear for no reason? There must be another hidden story. He knows his soldiers. They would never dare to lie about such things.

"Then what do you think it is?"

"These people from the Central Plains love to dig secret passages and the like."

□□ also thought so, "If they really went out through the secret passage, they would have run away by now."

Wulan also sighed, but the two felt that they could not give up no matter what. He said, "Brother, I will take people to check it out myself. I will find it for you even if I have to dig three feet into the ground."

"Okay, I will go back and ask for credit for you."

Wulan led his people out of the cave, waited to the back garden, pointed to several suspicious places and said, "Here, and here, and over there, dig them all for me!"

These barbarians, they were numerous, and after seeing the escape location, they had a general direction, so they didn't care about anything and just started digging.

As the day passed and night came, a soldier finally dug out a stone slab next to the house. Wulan walked over to see it, sneered, and said, "There is something behind this stone slab."

Wulan asked someone to pull a horse over, put on a rope, and just use the horse to pull the stone slab to pull out a hole. Someone looked inside and shouted in surprise, "Sir, there is a secret passage underneath."

"I finally found it."

"Come on, follow me to search!"

On the other side, the prince's men rushed all the way, not even taking a breath, and went to the other courtyard of the Wuding Marquis's Mansion. In the evening, they finally arrived.

Jiang Yu and Du Haoyu were sitting in a carriage. She didn't worry about her daughter at first, but halfway through the journey, she actually got news that there were Tatars here.

Jiang Yu started to get anxious.

Du Haoyu kept comforting her, "It's okay, it will be okay." It's unclear whether this sentence was comforting herself or comforting Jiang Yu.

Although Du Qing is not his biological daughter, he and Jiang Yu are relatives. Jiang Yu is his cousin and his wife. Naturally, they have an extraordinary relationship. In his heart, this daughter is his own.

"I'd better go ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

As soon as they arrived at the destination, the car stopped. With the Crown Prince, of course no one dared to move rashly. Everything would be done according to his wishes. The Crown Prince and Wu Dinghou discussed the solution, "If they ran out from the secret passage, we should have seen them by now."

"I can't figure out why they haven't come out yet?"

Wu Dinghou arrived here first, and then kept looking for people. Because the eldest grandson of the emperor was there, he didn't dare to act rashly. He only saw the Tatars digging the ground frantically in the back garden.

Since the Tatars were digging the ground, it meant that they had not been found yet, and it also proved that the children had escaped. But, since they had escaped, why didn't they come out?

For a moment, several people looked at each other. There was still room for buffer now. When the emperor arrived later, he would be worried and confused, and he didn't know what orders he would give.

Wu Dinghou thought that it would be better for the crown prince to preside over it and come up with a set of rules as soon as possible. It was not that he did not care about the safety of the children, but the more it was at this time, the more he needed to be calm.

At this time, someone reported, "Your Highness, Lord Jiang and Lord Du want to see you."

The crown prince was silent for a while, then said, "Let them in."

Jiang Yu and Du Haoyu paid their respects to the crown prince together. One of them was beautiful and the other was elegant. They were really a perfect match, which made the crown prince's eyes darker.

Jiang Yu asked, "Your Highness, have the soldiers found the emperor's eldest grandson?" In fact, Jiang Yu wanted to ask whether Du Qing had been found, but at this time, he must ask the emperor's eldest grandson first.

Du Haoyu obviously felt the crown prince's coldness, but stood side by side with Jiang Yu, without any intention of retreating.

The crown prince's expression became even colder.

The prince glanced at Wu Dinghou, who understood and explained the current situation. "Since those people are still digging, they must have escaped from the secret passage. They didn't catch anyone, but I waited for a long time at the exit of the secret passage, and no one came out."

Jiang Yu said anxiously, "Since they haven't caught anyone yet, why don't they send troops now? If we catch them all before they find the children, won't we be able to rescue them? The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be!" Jiang Yu glanced at the prince, and his eyes were full of requests.

At this time, the grudges between the three people were nothing. Du Haoyu said, "Your Highness, please send troops as soon as possible!" Wu Dinghou

also felt that the troops should be sent as soon as possible, but because the emperor's eldest grandson was inside, he didn't dare to give orders easily. This matter still needed the prince's decision.

The prince obviously heard it and stood up. "Come here!"

Wu Dinghou knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to go."

"Okay!"

The prince asked someone to bring a helmet, put it on and prepared to go out. When Jiang Yu passed in front of him, he pleaded seriously, "Your Highness, please save my daughter."

The prince paused for a moment and said, "I will do my best." Then he went out without looking back.

Jiang Yu always felt that the prince didn't seem to care much about this eldest grandson of the emperor. She knew his demeanor too well. Coming here today was more like a business matter, so she added that sentence at the end.

Wu Dinghou glanced at Jiang Yu and his wife and said comfortingly, "Master Jiang, Master Du, don't worry, I will do my best to protect several young masters and young ladies."

Jiang Yu and Du Haoyu returned to their carriage together. Soon there was a sound of fighting outside. Jiang Yu lifted the curtain to look outside, and then immediately closed it, or sat in the carriage, clenching his fists so tightly that they turned white.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact it was only half an hour. A soldier ran over and shouted, "Sir Jiang, please go to the front and take a look."

Jiang Yu had a bad feeling, and sure enough, he heard the soldier say, "Those Tatars have captured the emperor's eldest grandson and several children, and are threatening your highness."

Jiang Yu knew that he was still too late, but when he saw the scene in front of him, his face turned pale.
