One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 11
It turned out that the little princess disappeared, and the whole city of Beijing was under martial law to search but could not find it.

The king was furious. He not only sent officials from both the light and the dark side to track down the whereabouts of the little princess, but also secretly checked whether there was another mastermind behind him trying to separate him from Bei Yueyan.

If you live to see people, if you die, you want to see corpses. If the princess is dead, once the main murderer and accomplices are caught, they will be sentenced to death.

In addition, anyone related to this matter will be punished by the Nine Clans!

Execution of the Nine Clans is the highest level of clan punishment law in this dynasty.

Since the founding of the Wu Chu Dynasty, such a cruel criminal law has never been used, and at most the three clans were punished.It was used once in the previous dynasty, during the reign of the tyrant.

Emperor Feng Yuan did not hesitate to use this method, causing the general public to have lingering fears about the bloody memories of the tyrant years.It makes people think that the current king does not hesitate to stand shoulder to shoulder with the tyrant, which shows how much he attaches importance to the little princess and the Marquis of Dingyuan.

The folks have praised the love and righteousness of the present, regardless of whether he is a wise king or not, he deserves to be an open-minded and virtuous king.

And in that year, Marquis Dingyuan, who was suppressing the chaos in the Longnan area, also received the news.

In order to find the child, he sent a letter to the garrison generals all over the country for the first time, begging everyone to help set up checkpoints to find people for the sake of being a general of the same dynasty.

Who would dare to help him easily?
Finding someone is a matter for the government office, and the garrison will be noticed by the slightest movement. Once it is reported to the court, everyone can't finish eating.

If he commits a crime in the future, he will be regarded as an accomplice, and his fate will be worrisome.But looking at it from another angle, after Dingyuan Hou was a royal family of the previous dynasty, if his daughter-in-law died, he turned back in a fit of anger and wanted to restore the country, the success rate was at least [-]%.

Until then……

Hey, the generals everywhere can't help being in a dilemma.The Beiyue clan are many brave men, and anything is possible.

Just when everyone was hesitating, a group from the Tian family said, "Whoever finds the princess of Anping, regardless of whether the officials are rich or not, can be promoted to rank!" The imperial decree was like timely rain, completely freeing everyone to search and arrest in their respective jurisdictions.

In this way, it took a total of 21 days from missing to finding, and finally stopped three vegetable farmers at the gate of a small town on the eastern border.

……

The above is a bedtime story Uncle Ji told the princess, telling her about the difficult and embarrassing situations of her parents.

As for Yuan Zhao himself, since the day he was kidnapped, he has been drugged and transported away in a daze, almost out of Wu Chu's territory.

Due to long-term lethargy, she can't remember the things on the road.

The clearest memory is the time when she was rescued.At that time, she was stuffed in a large basket full of vegetables. Due to the hot weather, a strong smell of rotten vegetables and leaves rushed into her nose, which woke her up.

Just woke up, confused, numb and weak limbs.

But the smell around her was too stinky to bear, and she struggled to find an exit.But she was weak all over, curled up into a small ball, and something seemed to be pressing on the top of her head, it was so heavy that she couldn't push it in any direction.

That was the scariest moment in her childhood memory, and she didn't know where she was.When she woke up, none of the people who used to serve her was there, including A Niang.

"Have you ever seen this child? A four-year-old girl who looks like this..."

"Master, really not. We are busy working in the fields all day long, so how can we have the opportunity to meet outsiders? Look, we are pushing vegetables into the city for sale early this morning. The sun is shining, and the vegetables have rotted a lot. It's getting late. I have to get out of town and go home..."

Listening to the sound outside, her consciousness gradually came back, and she suddenly remembered the scene when she climbed out of the dog hole... Before she could figure out why, she heard something pressing on her head being slapped hard, and then heard:
"Bah, it's so rotten, no wonder no one wants it! Let's go..."

"Hey, thank you, Mr. Jun!"

Oops!For some reason, she suddenly felt that if she missed the opportunity, she would never see A Niang and Aunt again!Oh, and His Majesty Uncle, and that father who doesn't know what's useful!
Thinking of this, my whole body is filled with strength, hey——

He raised his hands and pushed upwards with all his strength, and the thing that was pressing on his head was successfully pushed aside.The strength is too small, and the stone can only be moved a small amount.But it was enough for her, and she hurriedly stretched her hands to the loose place.

Grasping the edge of the basket, I used my strength to stand up with my curled legs, and the vegetables in the basket were scattered.

It worked!
She saw the dazzling light, and the astonished eyes of people coming and going at the gate of the city.The three vegetable farmers were startled when they saw this, and they resolutely slid into the crowd. The officers, soldiers and soldiers around looked at it, ah, where did the newly promoted officials go? !

"Quick, catch them!"

At this time, a military official in leather armor and two men came to her, holding a portrait in their hands for comparison.Don't blame them, the real person is not very similar to the portrait, the little princess in the portrait is delicate and naive, with clear and lively eyes.

The little girl in front of her was disheveled, her eyes were dull, with a few sticky rotten vegetable leaves on her head, she was raising her face to breathe fresh air desperately.

No crying, no fuss, no fear, which doesn't match the temperament of a four-year-old child.

"Little... Princess?" The military officer and his subordinate looked at each other and called out hesitantly.

At this time, Xiao Yuanzhao had already recovered his breath. Hearing the sound, he glanced at the other party, and then looked at the commotion not far away, and found that the three vegetable farmers had been captured. He frowned, and stretched out his hand to point over there:
"Damn cheap slave! Reward a ten feet of red!"

She should be beaten for putting her majestic princess in such a smelly place!Beat them hard until you die.

The childish voice was soft and weak, but full of evil spirits, and he talked about the punishment in the palace. It was undoubtedly the little princess who had won the favor of the princess.The three of them pressed the surprise of being promoted, and they didn't dare to hesitate. See you in the street to worship:

"The little official has met Princess Anping, Princess Wan'an!"

Wan An, at this moment, there is no other word that suits her better.

Seeing this, the common people and soldiers at the scene knelt down one after another, bowed their hands and saluted, shouting "Princess Wan'an".

As for the three "vegetable farmers", of course they dare not execute immediately.

After all, the little princess in front of me has not yet been confirmed. People can admit their mistakes, but they dare not abuse the punishment.Anyway, the three of them couldn't escape, and after confirming her identity, they could receive the "reward" from the princess.

……

In this way, she was taken to the official office by those three military officials, and was escorted by another group of people. After going around all the way, she soon came to the rumored father.

Dad, the subjugated slave in the words of the princess's sister, is a man with a burly figure, extraordinary heroism and a kind face.

When he saw the girl who was hugged in the arms of a soldier, trying to maintain her majesty, she was extremely exhausted but dared not sleep with her eyes wide open, for fear of being carried away by the bad guys when she woke up, tears welled up in her eyes.

According to Mrs. Jiang's description in her letter: average appearance, full of hostility, stubborn temper...

Well, it was undoubtedly his daughter.

Of course, his own bloodlines cannot be confused, and he has another way to verify—"Little Dong? My son, my son?"

Dongyan is the word he gave to his daughter-in-law. Except for the husband and wife, no third person knows it.Oh yes, Xiao Yuanzhao knew it, because A Niang often told her that the man who called her by that name was Father, someone who would protect her.

Hearing this name, the little girl who was tired, afraid and trying to hold herself together burst into tears:
"Woo, Dad—"

……

"Zhaoer?" When the dream returned to midnight, a warm hand covered her forehead to test the heat, and a gentle male voice whispered, "Zhaoer, don't be afraid, Dad is here."

Seeing his daughter falling into a dream and unable to wake up, the man sitting by the couch raised his hand to pat her little face.

With this light pat, Xiao Yuanzhao, who was sweating profusely, opened his eyes suddenly and woke up from the nightmare.
