"Beta, I''m sorry about what happened earlier." Xue Luoyun went up to apologize. "Are you alright?"


    "I''m fine." Beta did not dare to look directly at Xue Ruyun, lowering his head and saying a few words. Seeing that the rain had stopped, Beta hurried to the side of the small courtyard to collect firewood.


    As the rain gradually stopped, the sound of dripping rain could be heard from the roof. As it dripped onto the limestone tiles, small droplets of water began to appear.


    Xue Luoyun stretched out his hand to catch the eaves of the water, cold enough to pierce the heart.


    She really wanted to enter the mountain to search for traces of Mu Ying, but there was a puddle of water outside. It had rained heavily just now, so even if she went there, she wouldn''t be able to find any clues.


    "Brother Beta, you''re back!" Xue Ruyun was in the middle of his melancholy when he heard a clear voice. A girl wearing a light yellow muslin came running in. She had big eyes and a pouting mouth. Her skin was white and rosy, making her look very cute.


    She walked forward and took Beta''s arm. "How is it? Did you find anything unexpected when you went hunting today?"


    Beta looked at her and quickly pulled his hand away, keeping his head down and not saying anything.


    "What''s wrong with you? Don''t you usually play a lot? "What, did you get any mushrooms or something like that today?" The girl was still following Beta around, chattering nonstop.


    Beta ignored her, minding his own business.


    "Let me help you." He saw that the girl seemed to be accustomed to being ignored by him. Instead of getting angry, he decided to step forward and help.


    "No need, just go over there and sit." Beta said impatiently.


    "Mm, alright then." Having been yelled at, the girl quickly came over and sat down obediently. Only now did he discover that Xue Luoyun and the others had been standing there for a long time.


    "Waa, what a beautiful sister. Is she a new customer?" The girl couldn''t help but exclaim.


    "Yes." Beta glanced at Xue Ruyun, then quickly turned around and nodded.


    "Big sister, you''re so beautiful."


    "You''re too kind." The girl chattered on and soon, the atmosphere in the house became lively. Only Beta''s elder brother was sitting alone at the door. He did not talk much, and his eyes were filled with sorrow.


    "Kima is here." When the aunt heard the sound, she came out smiling.


    "Hello Auntie." Kima''s voice was clear.


    It was obvious that the Beta family liked her, and her eyes were filled with admiration for Beta. Only Beta bowed her head and ignored her.


    "You guys continue chatting. I''ll go outside and take a look around." Xue Muyun stood up and thought of taking a breather outside the door.


    "Are you going out?" Beta, who seemed to be focused on her work, suddenly turned around and asked.


    "Yes, it''s at the door. I can''t walk far." Xue Ruyun replied.


    "Oh, okay." Beta lowered her hand and went back to work, but she began to look distracted.


    "Sister, I''ll go with you." Kima sat for a while, bored, curious about this beautiful sister, and then caught up with her.


    Xue Ruyun went out and sat down in a pavilion not too far away. He saw the trees that had been washed by the rain were green and glistening. In the distance, a small stream snaked by, and the sound of flowing water could be heard.


    However, Xue Ruyun did not have the mood to admire it anymore, and his mind was filled with thoughts, "Why would a group of people suddenly come and abduct Mu Ying and the others?" They were all dressed like commoners along the way, not showing off or revealing their wealth. How could he be targeted? Furthermore, judging by the smoke that they used, they must have come prepared.


    Kima is a girl who moves a lot. She just sat there for a while and felt bored again.


    She stealthily stood up and walked towards the fence. Using the morning glory as a cover, she sneaked a peek inside.


    "What are you doing here?" Xue Luoyun curiously walked over.


    "I was peeking at Beta." Kima looked at him without reserve.


    Xue Ruyun smiled. "Why didn''t you blatantly look at it when we were inside?"


    "I''ve watched him for too long, so I''m afraid that he''ll get tired of me, so I have to endure." Kima said seriously.


    Hearing what she had said, Xue Ruyun liked this simple and straightforward girl more and more.


    "He''s handsome, isn''t he?" Kima stood on her tiptoes and looked inside again.


    Xue Ruyun covered her mouth as she smiled. In her heart, she thought of Mu Ying. In her heart, Mu Ying was the most handsome.


    "He is very simple and kind, and he is very handsome. Ever since I was young, I have liked him, but he has always been indifferent to me." Kima said, feeling wronged.


    As she spoke to here, she somewhat dejectedly walked down and returned to the pavilion with Xue Ruoyun.


    "Big sister, what about you? I heard that something happened to your friend. Don''t worry, Beta will definitely help you find him." Kima does not know that Xue Ruyun has martial arts, carefully comforted.


    "Thank you." Xue Ruyun nodded his head.


    On the other side, Mu Sheng finally woke up after a long period of sleep.


    He opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that he was alone in a prison. The sword beside him had also been taken away.


    In this prison, there were many levels of barriers, and only a tiny window had a sliver of light coming in.


    Mu Ying recalled what happened and stood up. He looked towards the small window and saw layers upon layers of lush and lush trees outside. It seemed like they were at the top of a mountain. Several people were guarding the outside of the prison.


    "Who are you? Open the door! "Let me out." Mu Ying angrily shook the railing as he roared.


    However, the people outside remained indifferent. On the contrary, not far from the cage, a few people heard Mu Ying''s voice and shouted, "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness."


    It was the voice of the dark guard.


    "Where are you?" Mu Sheng asked and listened carefully. He found out that they were not far from each other, but the cell was too far away to see anyone.


    "Who did this? Get out here right now!" Mu Sheng clamored for a long time, but still no one answered.


    He tried to cut the door open, but the sword was taken away. He wanted to break the bars, but his body was too weak to do so. Mu Sheng tried for a long time but to no avail. He was infuriated, smashing his fist against the hard wall and sitting down helplessly.


    "Don''t waste your energy." At this moment, a voice sounded from outside. A muscular man walked in.


    "Second Master." The person at the door quickly bowed and called this person second master.


    The Second Master held two walnuts in his hand and slowly turned them around as he walked in.


    "Who are you?" Mu Ying rushed to the steel door and roared in a low voice.


    That person was not afraid and instead laughed coldly a few times. "You are the prince of Xi Liang, Mu Ying, right?"


    "You know This King?" Mu Ying steadied himself and stared at him.


    The Second Master nodded and sat down, looking at Mu Sheng as if he was his prey.


    "Then why aren''t you letting go of This King? Why are you capturing This King here?" Mu Sheng roared.


    "I am sorry, Your Highness, I have wronged you. We caught you. To tell you the truth, someone released the news that you had countless treasures with you. "In addition, he added silver to buy your life." The second master''s words were short and concise.


    "Who would be so bold?" Mu Sheng''s eyes were red and his expression was cold.


    "Well, no comment." The Second Master stood up and was about to leave, as if he was here just to admire his prey.


    "How much did he pay? This King will give you ten times the price and let This King go. " Mu Sheng''s voice sounded.


    "This …" The Second Master stopped in his tracks, as if his heart had been moved.


    After thinking for a while, he turned around and said, "I''m sorry. In our business, we only care about the word ''letter''. Since we have already agreed to others, how can we be unfaithful to others?" The Second Master pretended to be righteous.


    "You!" Mu Sheng was extremely infuriated. He wanted to reach out and grab him by the neck, but was helpless as he was unable to break free of the metal bars. At the same time, as long as he exerted force, he would feel a dull feeling in his heart, and his entire body would feel weak. He would be unable to breathe.


    "Your Royal Highness, don''t struggle. The air was thick with smoke, and we had come in with the help of knowing. I advise you to rest well and not waste any more effort. No matter how strong your martial arts are, you are still only an ordinary person who is powerless. "


    These people were well-prepared. It seemed they had been planning for a long time.


    "We''ve already asked you about it before, how could there be a battle without any confidence?" The second master purposefully said these words to win in a fit of anger, then turned around and leisurely walked away.


    Mu Sheng clenched his teeth in anger. His face was filled with a cold killing intent. However, this time, he could only act like an ordinary person and was helpless to do anything.


    He sat down, slowly calming himself. Who are these people? What was he trying to do? Just who was behind them? It seemed that there was still a way to bring them here.


    As he thought of this, Mu Ying faintly felt that this was not a simple task at the back. There was nothing he could do at this point in time. First, he had to see what they were up to, and at the same time, slowly think of a way to get out.


    "I wonder how Xue Luoyun is doing right now?" Fortunately, she had left just now. Otherwise, she would have fallen into the hands of these people. Thinking up to this point, Mu Ying secretly rejoiced in his heart.


    Second Master walked out of the dungeon and turned into the main hall.


    "Big brother, how is it? Has there been any news?" The Second Master asked the tall and thin man sitting in the great hall.


    The man handed over the letter that he had just finished reading. "The silver has already been delivered. Pressing it down now, wait for the notice."


    Second Master looked at the letter and burned it on the candle. Then, he said hesitantly, "Just now, this Prince said ten times the amount of silver … …. "Eh, I almost wavered."


    "No. This time, it was not as simple as buying one''s life. This matter involved a dispute over imperial power, so he could not be careless. Also, do not leak any information about the royal family. " The King looked around cautiously and spoke in a serious tone.


    "Yes."


    As the two of them were talking, a younger brother came in and reported, "Report, a letter from a pigeon."


    "What?" The eldest son and the second master looked at each other and hurried off. "We''ve only received the first message, why is the second one here? Why are you in such a hurry?"


    "What did he say?" The Second Master followed him and asked.


    After the King finished reading the letter, he raised his head and spat out a word, "Xue Ruoyun …"


    "Achoo ~ ~ ~" A gust of night wind blew, causing Xue Ruoyun to sneeze and feel a bit cold.


    "What happened? Are you feeling cold?" Beta came out from the yard, took a piece of clothing, and asked Yun Zhi to cover Xue Ruoyun with it.


    "I''m fine, thank you." Xue Ruyun gratefully smiled at him.
