Chapter 1823 - 1809

He only remembered that the two of them talked for a long time in the room. Although he couldn’t hear the specifics, Chu Ge was suspicious at the time.

He knew that Ye Liang was not from this place, a person from the same time-space as him, yet before this, he hadn’t seen the Princess Consort. How could the two have known each other?

There was only one possibility, that they had known each other before, and over time, certain things happened. Chu Ge also guessed as much.

"It was said before that the Princess Consort went to the Beggar Gang several times. Is this true?" the Prince asked again.

Chu Ge glanced at the Old Gang Leader, who quickly stepped forward to explain, "Prince, that fake Princess Consort came to our Beggar Gang just to gather information. He deliberately got close to Chu Ge to complete a task."

The Prince smiled slightly, "I didn’t mean anything else, Old Gang Leader, no need to be nervous."

Who didn’t know the Prince was famously jealous? Even if the Princess Consort wasn’t the real one, he would still care about it.

Even if he didn’t care now, he would settle this account later. He had long understood the Prince’s nature.

The Old Gang Leader laughed awkwardly, "I’m not nervous, not nervous, haha."

He glanced at Chu Ge, and the two exchanged understanding looks.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was midday. The Old Gang Leader found it strange; he hadn’t seen the trace of Feng Luo all morning.

Previously, Feng Luo loved to mingle among crowds, but now she wasn’t visible at all, which was quite unusual.

He went to Feng Luo’s tent to take a look and found that she wasn’t there at all, which made him a bit worried.

Chu Ge happened to be coming back from outside with a pile of herbs, which he had conveniently gathered from the mountain yesterday and left them with a fisherman, only retrieving them today.

"Old Gang Leader, what’s wrong?" From a distance, Chu Ge saw the Old Gang Leader pacing anxiously at the door and approached curiously to ask.

Seeing Chu Ge return, the Old Gang Leader urgently said, "Feng Luo is missing!"

"What? She’s not in her tent?" Upon hearing this from the Old Gang Leader, he realized he hadn’t seen Feng Luo all morning, "Could she have gone off to play somewhere?"

The Old Gang Leader shook his head, "No, although Feng Luo loves to play, she would come greet me every day first, but today she didn’t. I came to her tent, and her bedding is unmade and messy. I suspect she was taken by Ye Liang and his group!"

If she was really captured by them, that would be troublesome.

Chu Ge put down the herbs in his hands, "Let’s go, we should inform the Prince about this and have him send people to search. More people means more power."

The Old Gang Leader nodded, now that was the only option.

After telling the Prince about the situation, he immediately sent people to search, splitting into three groups.

"With mountains on three sides here, if their aim in capturing Feng Luo is also the Time-Space Gate, they would definitely go to Gourd Island. I’ve already sent people to guard Gourd Island, and if they make any move, we will be notified first!"

The Prince’s expression was not pleasant; he hadn’t expected Ru Xue to actually make a move against Feng Luo. The woman who once panted beneath him had now become a ruthless murderess? He truly couldn’t handle this in his heart.

But these were just his inner thoughts, he showed nothing on the surface.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Ge said to the Old Gang Leader and the Prince, "I’ll go search as well; I can’t just sit here doing nothing."

The Prince nodded.

The Old Gang Leader agreed, "I’ll go with you."

Meanwhile, in a cave in the mountain, when Feng Luo woke up, it was pitch black around her, her eyes were covered with a black cloth.

Her mouth was gagged, preventing her from speaking, she could only make muffled sounds.

Footsteps sounded beside her, and she turned towards the source of the sound, barely seeing a vague figure.

Suddenly, the gag in her mouth was removed, and Feng Luo hurriedly spoke, "Who are you!"

The black cloth from her eyes was also suddenly removed, and the sudden light made Feng Luo briefly uncomfortable, taking a while to adjust.

Feng Luo looked up at the visitor, "It’s you!"

Ye Liang! Truly, enemies met on narrow paths. She found another person standing behind Ye Liang, with their back to her, the figure looked familiar, but she couldn’t immediately recall who it was.

"Ye Liang, what do you want?" Feng Luo asked grimly.

Ye Liang chuckled, "What could I possibly want? I can’t do anything to you; not only that, I even have to find ways to accommodate you."

"Pah! I don’t need your accommodation! Just let me go back!"

"Let you go back? We went through great effort to catch you, why would we let you go back!"

Ye Liang clicked her tongue, lifting her hand to touch Feng Luo’s cheek. Just as Ru Xue said, she hadn’t believed it before, but now it seemed that indeed, Feng Luo’s face was quite eye-catching.

"Ru Xue, with such a pitiful face beside the Prince, aren’t you worried?"

Feng Luo was puzzled, Prince? Ru Xue?

Ru Xue turned back with a faint smile, "No matter, even if she looks beautiful, so what? It’s just a pity she was born in a beggar’s nest, a wild chicken can never become a phoenix."

Feng Luo’s eyes widened in shock at Ru Xue, "You... you you!"

"What about me?" Ru Xue said with a light smile, "Aren’t you surprised? How did I end up with Ye Liang?"

Feng Luo pursed her lips slightly, "You two are in cahoots."

"Obviously, if we weren’t, how would we have captured you?" Ru Xue looked at Feng Luo as if she were an idiot.

Feng Luo was somewhat stifled, "You’re really sneaky with this ambush, it’s disgraceful! If you have the guts, let’s have a fair confrontation!"

Ru Xue tutted, "A fair confrontation? Haha, you can’t even beat Ye Liang, do you think you can take on the both of us?"

"Even if I can’t beat you, I’ll give it my all, death holds no regrets!"

"Rest assured, we won’t kill you, we have big plans for you!"

Feng Luo’s hands and feet were tightly bound, the more she struggled, the tighter it got, filling her with both anger and discomfort.

"Stop struggling, you can’t get free. These are Fish Hooks, the more you struggle, the tighter it gets."

Ye Liang kindly advised, "Don’t worry, we won’t harm you, we just need something from you."

Feng Luo wanted to ask what it was, but Ye Liang and Ru Xue both left, completely ignoring her cries and wails.

Feng Luo was extremely depressed; she never imagined that the Princess Consort would be in cahoots with Ye Liang.

But wasn’t Ye Liang not from their place? Could it be the Princess Consort also...

Feng Luo glanced towards the cave entrance, immediately feeling utterly defeated!

Outside the cave, Ru Xue looked down the mountain and said, "They will definitely notice Feng Luo’s disappearance today and assign more people to search the mountain. We have to leave here quickly."
