Chapter 1202: Chapter 1193: The Princess Goes Missing, Fourth Brother to the Rescue_1 Chapter 1202: Chapter 1193: The Princess Goes Missing, Fourth Brother to the Rescue_1 The next morning, Xiang Ming discovered that the princess had mysteriously disappeared and was so frightened that she was beside herself. She rushed to the front yard and informed Xuanyuan Li.
Only then did Xuanyuan Li realise that the posthouse had been raided the night before, and many shadow guards had been killed. His own younger sister had been kidnapped.
*
At the start of the new year, an incident in the posthouse dissipated the festive cheer of the holiday.
Lin Qingluo, Lin Jinyu, and Lin Jinyun – three siblings personally led a team to the posthouse to thoroughly investigate the case.
The experts from the Imperial Court were summoned to look into Xuanyuan Qing's whereabouts.
At the same time, Little Kingfisher ordered all the birds to sweep across a thousand-mile radius of Capital City in a carpet-search manner, looking for any suspicious persons.
*
The birds, due to their extensive network, managed to find a lead before the Imperial Court.
Without any hesitation, Little Kingfisher reported it to the master immediately, “Master, there's a clue. This case is related to Blood Hand Hall.”
A sense of dread crept into Lin Qingluo's heart, “Blood Hand Hall?”
Little Kingfisher deduced to herself, “Perhaps someone didn't want Xijin and Fengqi's marriage alliance to continue, so they paid a hit, hired assassins from Blood Hand Hall, attacked the posthouse in the night, and kidnapped Xuanyuan Qing.”
“Have they found her yet?”
Lin Qingluo worried about Xuanyuan Qing's safety.
“Yes,” Little Kingfisher replied confidently.
“Where? Take us there.”
With her pretty face covered with frost, Lin Qingluo gestured to her two brothers, led the experts from the Imperial Court in following the direction given by Little Kingfisher, and hurriedly departed.
*
An hour later, outside Capital City, on an inconspicuous small hill, following the lead from the bird, the siblings found the cave where the assassins from Blood Hand Hall were hiding.
Xuanyuan Qing was tied up and trembling with fear.
The four assassins realised that someone was approaching, drew their swords and carefully scanned their surroundings.
A sharp and deadly sword light appeared, slashing towards two of the assassins.
One sword, one life.
Both assassins fell to the ground and died instantly.
“Leave the last one alive.”
Lin Jinyun flashed into position in front of Xuanyuan Qing, blocking her sight and stabbed one of the assassins in the heart.
Understanding Lin Jinyun's intention, Lin Qingluo sealed all the major points on the last man before he could take poison and commit suicide.
With a flick of his sword, Lin Jinyun cut the ropes and freed Xuanyuan Qing.
Xuanyuan Qing, too terrorised, seemed to lose all her strength when the ropes were cut and fell into his arms.
“Have the order passed down, wipe out Blood Hand Hall.”
With a stern expression, Lin Jinyun picked up Xuanyuan Qing and left the cave.
“Yes.”
An official in the Imperial Court complied and went to convey the order.

Posthouse.
A strategist stroking his short beard sighed deeply, “The princess's reputation has been compromised due to this event. If Fengqi uses this as an excuse to refuse the marriage alliance, what is to be done?”
“Send a pigeon to relay to Father about this immediately.”
The grim-faced Xuanyuan Li clenched his teeth, “Once the person behind this is found, I will make sure he does not die a good death.”
“Your Highness, the pressing matter is to reconsider the candidates for the marriage alliance.”
The strategist keenly observed, “A marriage alliance between two countries is a major affair. We can't miss this opportunity because of one person.”
Xuanyuan Li's eyes darkened slightly, and an aggressive look flashed across his face, “Qing'er is my own sister, who can replace her?”
“Your Highness.”
The strategist tried to convince him, “If Fengqi really refuses the marriage, the king might blame you for failing to fulfil your duties. This would be very disadvantageous for you.”
“I have already said, Qing'er is my own younger sister, how could I disregard her feelings, and arrange for someone else to replace her in this marriage.”
Xuanyuan Li's eyes reflected disgust. He waved away the man, “End of discussion about the replacement. Do not bring it up again.”
