Chapter 1816 In Crisis
Chapter 1816 In Crisis
Yan Ruyu's heart skipped a beat when she saw Li Wanglin.
Looking at Li Wanglin's face again, he had an even worse feeling.
"What happened?" Yan Ruyu asked.
Li Wanglin's voice trembled, and he knelt down with his legs bent: "Princess, Master...is gone."
Yan Ruyu felt a buzzing in her ears.
Surprise, worry, sadness, all kinds of feelings surged up at once, quickly impacted her, and then receded at the fastest speed.
Now is not the time to be sad. The most important thing is to find out what happened and find the abbot.
"Tell me everything that happened."
Although Li Wanglin and the abbot have not known each other for a particularly long time, they have become as close as father and daughter.
Li Wanglin cannot use space completely freely now, but he has reached 70% of it.
All this is thanks to the abbot.
He taught her, comforted her, and encouraged her over and over again, without ever showing any impatience or saying a single harsh word to her.
He also taught her what the things he brought out of the space were called and whether they were edible, which gave her a lot of knowledge.
From the initial fear of the space to the later familiarity and freedom, it was all the abbot's hard work.
Li Wanglin choked up and said, "Master disappeared early this morning. He got up early and went to the kitchen to help the cook make porridge for breakfast for everyone. He also said that a batch of fresh vegetables would arrive in the evening."
"He also told me to catch some fish and shrimps when I have nothing to do in the afternoon. Life in the village is hard, so he wanted to give everyone a treat."
"After dinner, he said he was going to the farm to check on a piece of land. A few days ago, a piece of land was infested with insects and many seedlings died. The tenants were very worried, so he said he would think of a solution."
"He often goes around to help people solve problems when he has nothing to do. I didn't expect that..." Li Wanglin blamed himself very much, "This time he disappeared without a trace."
Yan Ruyu saw that her emotions were fluctuating greatly, so she asked her to get up and calm down first.
At the same time, he ordered Song Ping to arrange manpower and informed Yinding to bring people to the farm immediately.
She originally wanted to send someone to check and meet the abbot to find out what was going on, but now that Li Wanglin had come to report the news, she had to go in person.
Yan Ruyu asked, "How did you find out that the abbot was missing?"
"Where did he disappear?"
After all, the manor is very large, and the fields could be in any direction, east, south, west or north. If you go in the wrong direction, you will waste time and the abbot will be in greater danger.
"It was at the edge of that field. I wanted to bring some water to Master. He is always busy for a long time. He has had a cough these past two days, so I just cooked some lung-moistening soup."
"But I didn't find him there, and no one saw him when I asked. Later I saw traces of being dragged at the edge of the field, and a scent bag half buried in the soil."
Li Wanglin said this and handed over the sachet.
Yan Ruyu recognized it at a glance and it was indeed the abbot's.
"The scent bag must have fallen off when Master was being dragged away, and Master was struggling, so the scent bag was covered up."
What she said made sense, and Yan Ruyu also guessed so.
"Where did the trace lead to?"
"That's very strange. I also wanted to follow the dragging traces to find it, but it disappeared halfway."
Because it was too strange and dangerous, Li Wanglin did not delay or make too much noise. He rode back to the city to report the news personally.
"You did a good job, but it will take some time for you to go back to the manor together later."
"I'm not tired, Princess. I just want to find my master as soon as possible."
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Yes."
When Yinding and the others heard that the abbot was missing, they all hurried to see Yan Ruyu.
"Princess, I'll go."
"I will go too."
"princess……"
Yan Ruyu raised her hand and said, "Yin Ding will go with me, Feng Shao will stay behind. When the prince comes back, you will report the truth. Also, cooperate with Song Ping to check around the palace to see if there are any suspicious people."
"Beibei, stay too. The prince has unfinished business here, and he still needs you to disguise yourself."
"Zhao Yan will go together."
Quan's knife wound has not healed yet. He can walk now, but he is still not able to do big movements like riding a horse, so he is asked to stay in the mansion.
Song Ping then sent a team of guards.
They went down to make arrangements, and Yan Ruyu went to report to the eldest lady.
Mrs. Cao was also there. When they heard that something had happened to the abbot, they became very worried and nervous.
"Princess, do you need me to go back and tell my husband to send some people?"
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "Not yet, but Madam, you must tell Governor Cao when you go back to strengthen your precautions and be more careful, and be relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside."
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Cao agreed repeatedly.
"Ruyu, why don't you wait for Changhe and wait for him to come back..."
The eldest lady was really worried.
"It's okay. The matter here is also very important. I'll go see what's going on first. Maybe it can be solved quickly. If it's really not possible, the distance is not far, I will send someone to deliver the message."
"Alright."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, the lady had no choice but to agree.
Without further ado, Yan Ruyu changed her clothes and immediately led her men out of the city.
She walked and thought all the way, and Da Huang also followed the abbot. In this space, if the abbot was in danger, Da Huang was also very smart and should be able to help.
Yan Ruyu was in a state of confusion, but she forced herself to stay calm.
It will be of no benefit if you don't stay calm at this moment.
I hope I can find the abbot before dark.
……
The abbot felt as if he had had a long sleep, but it was an uncomfortable sleep and his whole body ached.
Just when I was about to wake up and move around, I suddenly remembered - he was not sleeping!
He was checking the seedlings for pests in the field when he was suddenly dragged away by something!
This shock was no small matter.
The abbot made a prompt decision, gave up the idea of waking up, and entered the space with his consciousness.
Looking out from the space, it was extremely dark outside.
The abbot was puzzled: Has he been unconscious for so long? Is it already dark?
Later I noticed a bright light on the ground.
He suddenly realized that it was not that it was dark, but that he was in a dark environment.
That light came from outside.
Where is this? He squinted his eyes and looked carefully. The walls on both sides were uneven and bumpy, with some weeds on the ground. Occasionally, a "tick-tick" sound came from somewhere, which was the sound of water drops dripping.
This is... a cave.
The abbot realized that he had been captured and brought to the cave.
Who arrested him? Why?
I don’t know any of this.
I didn't see anyone there either.
He was wondering whether he should wake up and sneak away, because although he was thrown to the ground, his hands and feet were not tied and he was free to move.
I can't see the entrance to the cave from this angle, so I wonder if there is anyone guarding it.
If so, that would be troublesome.
Just as he was thinking about it, Da Huang jumped up and down beside him.
He touched Dahuang's head, and Dahuang bit his sleeve and dragged him to the crystal stone that he usually used to communicate with Yan Ruyu.
He slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, how could I forget, Da Huang, you are still smart!"
He thought Da Huang was reminding him that he could inform Yan Ruyu and tell her about his situation.
In fact, Da Huang wanted to say that Yan Ruyu had looked for him several times.
