In the early morning, the sun shines through the thin clouds and sprinkles in the courtyard of Sima Mansion.

Sima Zhao walked to Sima Shi's room with a brisk pace, preparing to ask him some questions.

Sima Zhao pushed open the door, and the room was quiet, without Sima Shi.

He couldn't help but feel very strange. Why was my brother not in the room so early? He frowned and began to search around the yard.

Sima Zhao anxiously asked the servants in the mansion, but they all shook their heads and said they didn't know where Sima Shi was.

A sense of uneasiness surged in Sima Zhao's heart, and his eyes swept across the grass and trees in the courtyard, as if looking for some clue.

"Where did my brother go?" Sima Zhao murmured to himself, his voice echoing in the early morning air.

The birds in the courtyard seemed to feel his anxiety and stopped singing happily.

Sima Zhao decided to go to other places to find Sima Shi. He stepped out of the gate of Sima Mansion and walked into the street in the morning.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and only some vendors were preparing for a day's business. Sima Zhao looked around, his heart full of doubts and worries.

Sima Zhao's uneasiness became stronger and stronger. He felt that something must have happened. After returning home in a hurry, he summoned all the servants in the house without hesitation. Everyone gathered in the hall, and the atmosphere seemed particularly solemn.

Sima Zhao's eyes were as sharp as eagles. He stared at the doorman tightly, with a hint of anxiousness in his voice: "Did you really not see my brother going out?

The doorman's face turned slightly pale, and he lowered his head and replied: "Return to the second young master, the young man did not see the eldest young master going out. The door opened and closed as usual last night, without any signs of abnormality."

Sima Zhao frowned even deeper, and deep worries were revealed in his eyes.

He turned to face the other servants, his voice low and firm: "Has anyone among you seen the eldest master?"

The servants looked at each other and shook their heads to show that they knew nothing.

At this time, a young maid spoke timidly: "Maybe the eldest young master got up early and went to the cemetery."

Sima Zhao's heart moved, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness.

He quickly walked to the cemetery.

However, everything is quiet.

Sima Zhao was in a heavy mood, and he slowly walked out of the study room with his brows frowned.

Sima Zhao looked up at the sky and saw a dark cloud slowly floating by, blocking the morning sunlight, and the whole courtyard suddenly seemed a little dark.

Maybe this is definitely something that my brother goes out. This is normal, but now it is a sensitive time.

"Brother, where are you?" Sima Zhao's voice was trembling, and the dark cloud seemed to be pressing on his heart, making him feel suffocated.

Sima Zhao hurried back home, and the anxiety in his heart became stronger and stronger.

When the concierge saw him come back, he hurriedly met him, approached him, and said in a low voice: "Young Master, I have an important news to tell you."

Sima Zhao's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously: "What news? Say it quickly!"

The concierge said nervously: "Just I heard someone talking on the street just now, saying that I saw someone leaving with another person. The person being carried seemed to be somewhat similar to the eldest son."

Sima Zhao frowned tightly, and there was a hint of shock in his voice: "Have you asked clearly?"

The concierge said, "The little one rushed forward and asked those people, but they stammered and refused to speak at all. In a blink of an eye, they hurriedly left. The little one felt that this might be an important clue."

An ominous premonition surged in Sima Zhao's heart, and his eyes became sharper.

"This matter is very important, we must investigate it to the end." He turned around and entered the house and said to the other servants: "You can inquire all over the city immediately to see if anyone has seen my brother or has other clues."

The servants took the orders and left, but Sima Zhao's mood became heavier.

At this time, a cold wind blew, causing his clothes to fly. He stared into the distance, praying silently in his heart for his brother's safety.

A servant whispered from the side: "Second Master, you don't have to worry too much. The eldest Master has a good fortune and will definitely be safe and sound."

Sima Zhao nodded slightly.

"I hope so. However, there must be something strange about this. If my brother had something to do, I wouldn't give up." A trace of firmness flashed in his eyes.

After a while, Sima Zhao set up a table and chair at the gate. He sat quietly on it, staring into the distance. Several servants stood beside him, waiting for his orders.

Sima Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "You go to the street and ask passers-by. If anyone can provide my brother's correct clues, he will receive a generous reward." His voice was firm and powerful.

The servants took the order and walked hurriedly towards the street. Sima Zhao sat there quietly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

He believed that there would be brave men under heavy rewards, and someone would definitely come to provide clues.

At this time, people on the street looked curiously.

Sima Zhao sat there, his figure seemed particularly firm in the sun.

After a while, a servant ran back quickly and said, "Young Master, a few people said they seemed to see a suspicious figure carrying a man towards the northeast."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Sima Zhao's eyes.

"Have they seen the person clearly?"

"They said they could only vaguely see two tall figures." The servant replied.

At this time, Sima Zhao became even more frightened.

In the northeast direction, isn’t that the direction of Cao Pi’s home?

Will this matter be related to Cao Pi? This is something he dare not imagine.

After a while, someone came to provide clues. He was wearing a worn out dress and had a mysterious look on his face.

Sima Zhao quickly got up and went up to meet him.

"I wonder if you have any clues?"

The man glanced at Sima Zhao and said softly: "I saw two people coming out at an inn. One of them was carrying the other and heading towards the northeast."

Sima Zhao's heart tightened.

"Did you see what they look like?"

The man hesitated for a moment.

"You can vaguely see that the person being carried is somewhat similar to your eldest son."

Sima Zhao's brows frowned even more.

"Did they say where they are going?"

"Listen to their words, it seems that they are going to Cao Pi." The man whispered.

A trace of pain flashed in Sima Zhao's eyes. He thought to himself that things were indeed related to Cao Pi.

Could it be that Cao Pi kidnapped his brother? A sense of doubt surged in his heart.

At this time, a cold wind blew, causing Sima Zhao's clothes to fly.

The person Sima Zhao finally gave the money, and the person left happily.

On the other side, Qin Feng and Yao Maoyu walked very slowly.

Of course, Qin Feng did this on purpose. He even hoped that the Sima family would know about this matter quickly and then stop him.

Of course, he was not afraid, after all, Sima Shi was in his hands.

Sima Shi felt very embarrassed because he saw many people on the street.

Although not everyone knows him, he feels that he really has no face to see others.

No matter what, as long as his younger brother is fine, he will take all his responsibilities when he arrives at Cao Pi, and the letter is written by himself.

At this moment, Qin Feng saw another secret guard not far ahead.

He believed that it must have been sent by Xi Yu to find him, so he came to an alley.

The secret guard also appeared like a ghost, which once again made Yao Maoyu feel very surprised.

Qin Feng then asked the secret guard if the king had any instructions?

The secret guard glanced at Sima Shi, sneered, and said, "The king does have instructions."

Half an hour ago, Xi Yu sat quietly in the room, and his thoughts gradually drifted away. He thought of the brothers Sima Yi and Sima Zhao.

Although he had not formally dealt with the two brothers after traveling to this world, Xi Yu had a very deep understanding of their understanding.

He knew that both of these brothers were not ordinary people.

There was a light of thought in Xi Yu's eyes. He felt that the letter might have been written by Sima Zhao, but if this was the case, Sima Shi would definitely put all the blame on him.

"You must not let Sima Zhao go." Xi Yu said softly.

His eyes became firm, and if his guess was correct, he had to take action.

Xi Yu stood up and walked to the window. The sunlight outside the window shone on his face, illuminating his firm expression. He took a deep breath and called out the dark guards hidden in the dark.

"The letter may have been written by Sima Zhao, and Sima Shi may be willing to take the blame for him. You must not just let it go and tell Qin Feng the news immediately." Xi Yu's voice was a little decisive.

"King, my subordinates know, I will leave."

The secret guard took the order and his figure quickly disappeared into the shadow of the room.

At this moment, the secret guard conveyed Xi Yu's decision and suspicion to Qin Feng.

After hearing this, Qin Feng frowned slightly and thought in his heart: "The king is so decisive, there must be a basis for it. I must take it carefully and investigate this matter thoroughly."
