Planning to marry the third master

Just before dark, Xie Yunxiao brought his troops into the capital. Five thousand elite soldiers all entered Bianliang. The military situation was urgent. Song Wu and King Hui held an emergency meeting in Qiao Tower.

As for the manpower in the entire Bianliang, there are not many Jinwu Guards, only about two thousand people. The patrol battalion and the capital defense together have a total of five thousand people. This amount of manpower is pitifully small compared to the large army. Xie Yunxiao had to find a way to transfer the five thousand back to the capital. If he made the worst-case plan, how could ten thousand people fight against twenty thousand? He could only use a trick.

Xie Yunxiao had rich experience in fighting here. The two of them listened to the arrangements of General Qilin. Xie Yunxiao made arrangements just in case. The city towers were guarded by the capital defense and the patrol camp was guarded. If the defense was breached, 5,000 elite soldiers would guard the palace gate and let the enemy into the city and kill them one by one.

After all, Prince Yu is still unaware of the matter of the 5,000 elite soldiers. While we can trick him into misjudgment, we can also attack him when he is unprepared.

After several people discussed it, Lao Qu finally found Xie Yunxiao. He was anxious and kept saying that something big had happened, and went straight into the tent.

Seeing Xie Yunxiao, Lao Qu knelt down and said, "General, something happened in the general's mansion, and the general's wife is missing."

Xie Yunxiao frowned and said coldly: "Speak clearly, what do you mean by missing?"

Lao Qu said, "Today the old lady in the mansion held a chrysanthemum banquet. During the banquet, the lady was fine, but no one knew when she disappeared."

"what!"

Xie Yunxiao's face turned very dark, and he said, "What are you doing!" He strode out, and Lao Qu immediately followed. Prince Hui and Song Wei looked at each other and followed as well.

Song Wei said: "General, deployment is important."

Xie Yunxiao ignored him and walked straight out. Lao Qu said, "The Sixth Princess bullied Madam this morning, and Madam ordered that the person be thrown out of the General's Mansion. The Sixth Princess threatened him at the time. As soon as this happened, Mu Dalei went to the Princess' Mansion to inquire."

Xie Yunxiao paused, and looked at Prince Hui with a cold face. Prince Hui wanted to beat his sister to death. He could not help her at all except for causing trouble. He said, "Don't worry, I will go to the princess's mansion now."

Several people quickly mounted their horses and headed towards the Sixth Princess's Mansion.

Gu Pingting had her own manpower, and was giving instructions on how to kill Feng Zhuohua when she was spotted by Mu Dalei. However, he was sure that the person was not in the hands of the Sixth Princess.

When Mu Dalei was feeling worried after leaving the princess's mansion, two people came riding horses on the long street, and the one leading them was Xie Yunxiao.

Mu Dalei waved his hand and asked people to stop.

Xie Yunxiao stopped his horse, and Mu Dalei stepped forward and said, "The princess inside is going crazy and wants to send someone to the general's mansion to kill your wife. But the person is no longer in the general's mansion. If she was in the princess's mansion, she wouldn't have to give such an order."

After listening to this, Prince Hui said, in order to prove that it was not Gu Pingting who did it, "I will send someone to search first." Then he sent people directly to the Sixth Princess's Mansion.

Prince Hui was more proactive than Xie Yunxiao in leading his men.

Prince Hui led his men and did not wait for anyone to call the Sixth Princess. He directly said, "Search!"

The patrol battalion immediately assisted in the search.

A few guards came towards them with fierce looks on their faces. Mu Dalei whispered to Xie Yunxiao, "These are the ones I ordered."

Xie Yunxiao stepped forward with a cold face and swung his sword quickly. Two of them were killed in the blink of an eye. The other two reacted quickly and drew their swords to defend themselves. In just a few moves, they were killed by Xie Yunxiao's dagger.

When Gu Pingting saw this, she couldn't help but scream, "What are you doing to kill my people?"

Xie Yunxiao looked at Gu Pingting with murderous eyes and stood there without moving. He was enduring it.

Prince Hui stepped forward and slapped Gu Pingting in the face, angry at her for not fighting back.

Gu Pingting was stunned and said in a sharp voice: "Brother, what are you doing!"

Gu Xinghui asked: "What did you do in the General's Mansion?"

Gu Pingting thought of her humiliation today and said hysterically: "You don't ask them what they did to me, but instead come to beat me, brother, are you still my brother!"

"The thing I regret most in my life is having a sister like you!"

These words really hit her heart. Gu Pingting was going crazy and said, "Brother, they threw me out of the general's mansion and made a fool of myself for everyone. Brother, I am a princess and have never suffered such a great humiliation. You actually sided with outsiders."

The princess's mansion was not big, and the searchers searched room by room, leaving no corner untouched. When everyone came back and shook their heads, Xie Yunxiao turned around and left.

Song Wei was really troubled. When someone's wife was missing, he had to ask someone to find out first, so he just followed her.

Xie Yunxiao got on his horse again and quickly returned to the general's mansion.

Gu Pingting was hysterical and screaming, and only then did Gu Xinghui calm himself down and comfort her.

When Xie Yunxiao returned home, Shuangxi was still interrogating everyone in the house. Almost everyone gathered in the hall, including people from the first and second houses. Baili had a sad face. She was just throwing a banquet, so how could someone get lost? If she couldn't find the person, she would be to blame.

Xie Yunxiao ordered Chao Er, "Go call Hu Cong and tell Chao Yi to close all the city gates and impose a three-day curfew starting today."

He then said to Song Wei: "Go to the palace to explain the situation. First, you need an imperial edict."

Song Wei immediately turned around and left, thinking to himself that he shouldn't have said it earlier.

Xie Yunxiao walked into the hall and looked at the old women, servants, and so-called family members. There was no one he cared about, and the only person he cared about was gone. Only he knew how panicked he was.

When Shuangxi saw the Third Master, he immediately knelt in front of Xie Yunxiao and said, "Third Master, I have asked everyone, but no one knows where the young lady has gone."

Xie Yunxiao asked: "Didn't anyone in the mansion see him go out?"

Shuangxi shook his head, "I haven't seen any."

This is strange. Xie Yunxiao looked around and found that he didn't trust anyone here. The only one he trusted was the veteran guarding the gate. Since they said that the person didn't go out, then he didn't go out.

Xie Yunxiao asked his people to search the mansion again.

Chao Yi and Lu Jiang led their men to search one by one, and soon they had searched the entire general's mansion but found nothing.

Hu Cong came with Feng Xinyu and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you calling me so late?"

Feng Xinyu rushed forward when she saw Xie Yunxiao, hugged him and said, "Dad, I miss mom. I want to sleep with mom today."

Xie Yunxiao was worried and afraid that she would become a victim of politics. Her heart was shaking violently, but she said calmly, "Okay, Dad will hug you first."

Xie Yunxiao's emotions were not right. He rarely showed this kind of vulnerability. Hu Cong saw something was wrong and asked, "What happened?"

Xie Yunxiao only gave himself a short time to be weak, and soon recovered and said: "My people are gone, disappeared without a trace."

"Who?"

"I only have one of her."

Hu Cong understood, and said in front of the child, "How can a living person disappear?"

Xie Yunxiao said dejectedly: "I don't know, no one in the mansion knows, help me, help me find her."

Hu Cong frowned and said, "I have to know what happened."

Xie Yunxiao said to the outside: "Call Shuangxi over."

Shuangxi was just outside the door. She quickly entered the house, crying loudly, and said, "Third Master, tell them to go find the young lady."

Hu Cong said: "Tell me what happened today?"

Shuangxi didn't know what was going on. "This morning, Lao Zhou said I was pregnant, so Sister didn't ask me to go out and walk around. I didn't go out and didn't know what happened. When I found out, Sister was gone."

Hu Cong said, "Don't cry yet, call the maidservant who is with the lady."

"Ruyi, come in." Shuangxi said loudly.

Soon Ruyi came into the study and knelt down like Shuangxi, without crying out loud.

Hu Cong said directly: "Tell me everything that happened today."

Ruyi said, "Today there is a chrysanthemum banquet. Miss didn't want to join in the fun. She was reading in her courtyard early in the morning. Not long after, Madam Xu came. Before she could say a few words, the Sixth Princess came and swaggered into the general and his wife's bedroom. Miss couldn't stand it and said a few angry words. The Sixth Princess chased Miss and grabbed her hair. I stepped forward to help, but was beaten by the Sixth Princess. Miss was so angry that she asked someone to throw the Sixth Princess out of the general's mansion. Many people came to watch the fun. The matter became a big deal. Miss had to come forward to explain, so she had to entertain the ladies and ladies who came into the mansion. Miss was still at the banquet, reciting poems and writing couplets. Miss was also very good. I turned around and cleared the cups and plates and I didn't see Miss. I asked Xiangyun, and she said that Miss might have gone to the toilet. I didn't think much about it, and I haven't seen Miss since then."

Xie Yunxiao patted the child gently. The child was drowsy. He said in a deep and slow voice, "What did the Sixth Princess say to her?"

Ruyi said, "I heard a few words. The Sixth Princess said that the young lady would be divorced sooner or later. She said that whoever promised her that once she got a position, the Third Master would be hers."

Hu Cong glanced at Xie Yunxiao and saw that he had a murderous look in his eyes. He then asked, "Did anyone talk to the general's wife before she left?"

"This servant didn't see it."

Hu Cong was calmer than Xie Yunxiao and said, "Go and call in all the people who served at the banquet one by one. I will question them."

"Yes."

Xie Yunxiao patted the child in his hands, and Feng Xinyu's breathing became even.

Hu Cong turned around and comforted her: "Don't worry, she is a blessed person."

With Hu Cong's words, Xie Yunxiao felt half relieved.
