As he spoke, he took out a rough drawing of a portrait.

When Shao Zhongxi heard that this was seven years ago, he frowned. When he took the painting and looked at it again, he immediately clenched his fists. It was the secret guard who had escaped with his nephew back then!

Although the drawing was only 30 to 40 percent similar.

He always thought that something had happened to this secret guard, which was why he had not contacted any of them to report what had happened back then. So it turned out that something really did happen. He turned into a fool.

It seemed that the fool in the Ji family’s dungeon was this secret guard.

“According to the old man’s neighbors, I don’t think I saw that fool or that old man on the sixth of September. After that, I heard that the old man died on the edge of a village that was quite far away.” The man continued to report.

September 6th…

At that time, he was in Lingshan Town…

It was actually him who led the spy there. Did the spy happen to find the hidden guard before him?

Shao Zhongxi’s expression turned ugly at the thought of this.

That secret guard was actually in Xinyuan County this whole time. Did that mean that his nephew might also be in the South? After all, his nephew was with this secret guard at that time.

He had only wanted to use himself as bait so that his men could find his nephew safely. He did not expect that…

Shao Zhongxi’s handsome face immediately turned even uglier.

However, relying on each other meant that the old man only had the secret guard at home with him…

The old man was killed so far away from Lingshan Town. Presumably, Consort

Yi and the Ji family must have been afraid that he would find out. As for treating the secret guard in the dungeon…

It seemed that Consort Yi and the Ji family still did not know where his nephew was, so they wanted to cure the secret guard and ask him about his whereabouts.

Shao Zhongxi narrowed his cold eyes.

Then, he immediately instructed someone. “Quickly return to the capital city in secret. Tell the palace that the hidden guard has been found. Tell him to save that hidden guard before he’s cured.”

He couldn’t let the Ji family and Consort Yi’s people get anything out of the secret guard) or the consequences would be unimaginable.

The secret guards were not afraid of death, but they were very likely afraid of living a life worse than death.

Not everyone could withstand torture that was worse than death.

“Yes, sir!” The person who was instructed to carry out the task immediately set off.

Then, he remembered that the secret guards had been found in the South. Even if Consort Yi and the Ji family had not asked anything, they must have sent people to the South to look for his nephew. If he was right, they should be looking for him from the Imperial Capital to Lingshan Town. If they could not find him, they would expand the area and search around this line…

Shao Zhongxi’s eyes turned even colder.

It was no wonder that although there were still many spies watching him these days, there were fewer. It turned out that they had gone to this place to find his nephew.

Thinking of this, Shao Zhongxi instructed another person some orders, “Quickly go to the South army camp secretly and find Shuting. Tell him to send someone to search along those perimeters.”

Most of his men were at Changyu, so it was not easy to transfer them over.

After all, the jade pendant was there. It was p.a.w.ned by a child who was about the same age as his nephew. Moreover, the child was supposed to be quite good-looking. Even if the secret guards were in the South, his nephew might still be in the North. He still had to continue his search in Changyu.

“Yes, sir!” The other person also received the order and quickly left in secret.

The camp was in the south, not far from Shao Zhongxi’s current location. That night, Shao Shuting met the person who had come to report the secret.

After hearing the report, Shao Shuting was also shocked..
