Chapter 529 Grab it
"Your Highness, Concubine Xia is in trouble!"
Before he finished speaking, a secret guard came in front of Mu Yunting.
"What? What happened? Tell me clearly."
"Someone just received a message. It was Liefeng asking for help."
"where?"
“On the way to Jing’an Temple.”
"Why is she here? Didn't she have someone tell her to stay in the mansion and not come out?"
As he spoke, Mu Yunting stood up and walked out, but was stopped by Tracer beside him.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. It may not be Concubine Xia. Concubine Xia is not a reckless person. She should not leave the house after listening to what Your Highness has told her. Is there any conspiracy here? If Your Highness is worried, let me take people to investigate first. Your Highness will stay here to take charge of the situation. As long as we catch that person, we don't have to worry about him plotting anything else."
What he said made a lot of sense. If something happened to someone else, Mu Yunting would definitely handle it rationally. Even if Tracer didn't say that, he would arrange for Tracer to investigate the situation first, or let Ye Yin go there in person. But now he couldn't stay calm no matter what.
"Ye Yin, you stay here. Whoever comes to Jing'an Temple today, hold them down until I come and deal with them."
"No, Your Highness. The other party might have moved Concubine Xia because of you. Let me go with you, and Tracer will stay behind."
Mu Yunting did not object to Ye Yin. After the two finished talking, they left without hesitation, leaving Tracer standing there in a daze. He was not afraid of facing the next task, but he couldn't understand why Lord Ye Yin didn't stop His Highness when he knew it was dangerous.

"On the fifth day of the lunar year, why do we have to go to Jing'an Temple today?"
"Let's go grab the first incense stick. If we go back tomorrow, it will be too late. Let's stay overnight at Jing'an Temple today. Tomorrow morning, the first incense stick will be ours."
"You just want a prosperous business, is this necessary?"
"Of course, the first incense is the most effective. With my hard work and the blessing of Buddha, I will be able to make Piaoxiang Tea House the largest tea house in the imperial city this year. Besides, don't you want to ask Buddha to bless you to improve your craftsmanship?"
"Skills are acquired through practice. What's the point of just relying on Buddha's blessing?"
"You can't say that. You have to practice your skills on your own. Opportunities to improve need others to give you. If you pray to the Buddha, maybe he will let you study under a master this year."
"If I take someone else as my master, my father will beat me to death if he knows. It's better for me to pay more attention to Concubine Xia. She has many treasures in her hands, all of which are masterpieces of masters. It will be very beneficial to borrow them and read them."
"Then you can go and pray for Concubine Xia's safety and blessings to express your gratitude."
"That's fine. But then again, why don't we take the official road to Jing'an Temple? This path is too remote."
"This road is shorter and can save a lot of effort."
"But I feel like something is not right. Did we take the wrong road?"
"No, I can't be wrong. Who am I? I am Su Qingmo. How could I have taken the wrong path?"
"But just now I saw that the top of the mountain was right in front of us, but now it has moved a lot further away."
"That must be because the road is curved. You see, this section of the road has an arc. It will be fine after passing this section. Don't worry, you won't go wrong if you follow me. Let me tell you, when I was traveling in the past..."
"Shh, don't talk."
Su Qingmo, who was forced to remain silent, was stunned for a moment and then used his eyes to ask Chu Qi what was wrong.
The two of them had a tacit understanding. Chu Qi actually understood what he meant and said softly, "I think that person over there is Concubine Xia."
"How?"
Su Qingmo exclaimed as he looked at the man and woman in the distance. The woman did look like Concubine Xia, but the man was definitely not the prince. This was what surprised him.
The woman they saw was Su Nuan, and the man next to her was Zhao Zong.
Fortunately, Chu Qi still covered his mouth with his hand, otherwise this shout would have alarmed Zhao Zong.
Chu Qi tightly held Su Qingmo's hand and whispered, "Keep your voice down. Doesn't that man look familiar to you?"
After waiting for a long time without any reply from Su Qingmo, Chu Qi looked over in confusion and saw that Su Qingmo, whose face was flushed from holding his hand, was rolling his eyes. He quickly let go of his hand and kept apologizing.
Su Qingmo took a deep breath and it took him a while to recover.
After he recovered, he did not care to blame Chu Qi. He stared at Zhao Zong's back and identified him carefully. Then he murmured, "You know what, this figure is really familiar. Who do you think this man is? Could he be Concubine Xia's lover? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about this, his life would be over."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Concubine Xia must have been coerced by him."
"Now that you mention it, I feel like this guy is very similar to Ye Xiaobai's previous boss!"
After being reminded by Su Qingmo, Chu Qi suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, it's him. I was wondering why he looked so familiar. Well, I'll follow them, and you go back to get help."
The corner of Su Qingmo's mouth twitched, "He is alone, he should not be your opponent."
Chu Qi replied seriously: "His skills are about the same as Xiao Bai's. I'm not sure I can beat him. Besides, Concubine Xia is still in his hands."
"But I think as long as you seize the opportunity to snatch Concubine Xia away and carry her on your back, he will definitely not be able to catch up with you."
"Is this okay?"
"I think it's okay. If you just go and rob them, we can still get to Jing'an Temple today. If we follow them, we don't know how long we will have to follow them."
"How about I give it a try?"
"Try it."
The two of them happily decided to snatch Su Nuan away.
At this time, Su Nuan knew nothing about this. She had just learned from Zhao Zong that the other party was going to take her to meet the master.
To Su Nuan, the mystery of the master Zhao Zong was beyond fear, and she really wanted to know who this person was.
