monopolize my master

"General... what are you talking about?" Ling Xiao forced himself to be calm, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I just want to ask, why are you so nervous?" The general looked away, grabbed Ling Xiao's wrist and said, "You are such a gentle and considerate girl, so you don't go the right way---what is it? Who instructed you to do this kind of thing?"

"Slave..." Ling Xiao panicked a little, "...don't understand what the general is talking about."

"Don't pretend, I noticed when you were drinking." The man straightened up, his eyes that were slightly slack due to drunkenness were now staring at Ling Xiao, although his face was still a little flushed, but Take a closer look, where is the half-drunkness?

"Did you find out? But such a strong drink did not overwhelm the general, Xiao Wan admired it." Ling Xiao said softly, "But, can you let go of your hand first, it hurts me."

"Even a girl like you can't escape." The general sneered, let go of Ling Xiao's wrist, and looked at him with interest, "Your purpose, you might as well tell me."

Ling Xiao hesitated for a while, and frowned lightly as an excuse, "My lord, are you willing to keep this secret for my family?"

The man laughed, "If it's possible, this general has no reason to be angry with a beauty."

Ling Xiao seemed to be slightly relieved, and looked at the general timidly, and then looked away in a panic, with tears in his eyes, as if there were thousands of words in his heart, it was hard to say.The man in front of him couldn't help being stunned by the appearance of pear blossoms with rain, and then frantically searched for a tissue to wipe his tears.

Taking advantage of the man's unpreparedness, Ling Xiao ruthlessly pinched his thigh, tears streaming out uncontrollably---

"That... yes... but has anyone threatened you?"

Ling Xiao became more aggrieved when he heard the words.He turned around, simply avoided the general's fiery gaze, covered his face with his sleeves, his brows were slightly frowned, revealing only a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes with a hazy layer of water vapor.In the dim candlelight, she looked even more charming and pitiful, cute and pitiful.

"Actually... Nu is a person who admires King Jinghe..." After a while, Ling Xiao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said softly.

"Prince Jinghe?" The general paused for a moment, as if feeling lost, "Prince Jinghe...is the best man in Dayin...to be infatuated by a girl like you...it can only be him... "

"My lord saw that I was lonely... gave me a lot of help... and allowed me to stay in the mansion to serve... Although it was just to do some rough work, for a person like me... it was enough." Ling Xiao said quietly, " However, after the prince left a few days ago, there has been no news. I have been taken care of by the prince a lot in the mansion, and the other sisters have long been uncomfortable with me, pushing me everywhere... Then... I heard someone talking about the news that the prince was injured... ...I couldn't sit idly by, so I sneaked out of the mansion and discussed with the mother here...to find out about the prince..."

Speaking of this, Ling Xiao suddenly stopped.He raised his head, took a deep look at the general, and then gave him a salute.

"My family found out that the general went out with the prince, so please general... please tell the general about the prince." Ling Xiao's thin voice kept trembling, "My lord, the prince is the one I swore to repay my favor. ... If there is something wrong with him, why should I live in this world?"

"So that's how it is." The general heaved a sigh of relief and helped Ling Xiao up, "It turns out that you are doing it for the prince's sake... so you don't hesitate to pretend to be a girl from Hualou to trick me... um... Actually it's like this... ..."

"Does your lord know the whereabouts of the lord?" Ling Xiao asked earnestly again, "If lord is willing to inform my family of the whereabouts of my lord, my family... is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for my lord, and repay my benefactor with a grass ring in the next life."

"It's just a girl, it's okay to tell you." The general sighed, "But you have to promise me that you can't mention a word to outsiders."

"I will never say anything to outsiders. If you break your oath...you will die!" Ling Xiao said firmly.

"You follow me to the mansion first." The general frowned, "If you are someone close to the prince, they should help you with this matter. As for the whereabouts of the prince... I'm sorry, I have no comment right now..."

"Why?" Ling Xiao asked anxiously, "Can't the general still trust the slave family?"

"That's not the case. It's just..." the general paused, "I don't know where he is... Anyway, you go back home with me first. I want to ask you something."

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord. Thank you for my lord's kindness." Ling Xiao prostrated himself on the ground, "My lord will have some refreshments here first, please allow me to change my clothes first."

"Well, I'll wait for you here." After the general finished speaking, he stared at Ling Xiao blankly, hesitant to speak.

"General?" Ling Xiao asked suspiciously, "Do you have anything to say, General?"

"Hmm...that..." the general hesitated, and finally said slowly, "I...although your motives for coming to see me are not pure, but...what I said to you tonight is serious...of course, if you are willing to……"

Ling Xiao immediately understood what the general meant, and secretly found it a little funny.Although he was very vigilant, but he was able to allow himself to go to his mansion, most likely due to this beauty trick.

"My lord... I don't understand." Ling Xiao pretended to be puzzled.

"No...it's okay." The general quickly looked away, "Go and change first."

Ling Xiao smiled back slightly, then quickly flashed to the small dark room, changed into ordinary clothes, and locked the door tightly.Then follow the secret path that the bustard said, and got out from downstairs.As soon as Fang entered the hall, he saw the scholar being drunk by a group of fancy girls.

Ling Xiao couldn't laugh or cry.He rushed over and dragged the scholar out.

"Hey, what are you doing? I still want to drink..." The scholar muttered in Ling Xiao's arms, and suddenly a basin of cold water was poured up.

"Wake up, idiot." Ling Xiao whispered into the scholar's ear, "I'm going to the Hussar General's Mansion now, you go out from here quickly and contact Ling Yun. If there is news from the prince, I will let you deal with it first It's urgent, do you understand?"

The scholar rubbed his eyes.Looking at Ling Xiao in a daze, then grinned and said,

"Beauty, what's your name..."

"I call you Uncle Ling!" Ling Xiao was anxious, and threw the scholar into the arms of the bustard who came over, "Hurry up and feed him some hangover soup, and wait for me to repair a book, and my mother will remind him after he wakes up." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he stuffed a few banknotes into the hands of the bustard, "Thank you, Mom."

The bustard responded repeatedly.

……

Hussar General's Mansion.

Ling Xiao sat in the lobby with a distressed expression, and there were continuous quarrels in the cubicle beside him.Well, the Hussar General and his very fierce wife.

"Who is she...don't even think about going out if you don't explain clearly..."

Ling Xiao rubbed his temples helplessly.He began to sympathize with what happened to the hussar general.With such a fierce wife at home, it would be better to spend all day in the brothel Chu Pavilion.

After about a stick of incense time.

General Hussars came out of the compartment with his head drooping, and then his wife slammed the door angrily.Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Ling Xiao a hard look.

"I'm laughing at you." General Hussar looked rather depressed, "I just brought you here...she looks like this...in the future...you may be wronged..."

Ling Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips, "Okay, my lord, let's talk about the business first. Why did you come to me?"

"Let's talk in the study." General Hussars said, "I'll tell you the whole story first. But it's still the requirement, you must never say a word to outsiders. If you can't...even if it's you, I will No mercy."

"I understand." Ling Xiao said softly.

"The enemy army came to invade, and the emperor ordered me and the prince to go out. I don't think I need to say more." The general sat down in the room and took a sip of tea. The army, but the ones that really fell on us are only 3 horses."

"King Jinghe is a famous general. When he was young, he used to send troops to the army. He used fewer troops to win more troops like a god. Even with an army of [-], he can successfully beat the enemy into a mess. The morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the prince ordered to prepare to attack the enemy camp at night."

The general paused, then squeezed the teacup tightly.

"But that night, something happened. It's very strange." The general frowned. "At that time, I was sent by the prince to patrol the rear. In the middle of the night, there was news that the vanguard army was wiped out... Wait for me When the reinforcements were sent back, the camp was engulfed in flames, and the vanguard... was gone... and Prince Jing and Wang Ye were also missing."

"Missing?" Ling Xiao was startled, "What does it mean to be missing? Was it all murdered by someone? Or..."

"It's gone. Except for the corpses of more than a dozen dead soldiers and some outsiders who fell on the ground, the rest of the people are gone..." the general whispered.

"Then, maybe it was the prince who led the army in a surprise attack?" Ling Xiao asked.

"I thought so too at first. But that's not the case." The general put down his teacup abruptly, "I waited for the prince for two full days, but I didn't see any of them. I'm worried that they were defeated by the enemy. The army detained him, and quietly went to inquire about the situation in Dawu's tent. Unfortunately, there is no one."

"If they killed the vanguard, they would more or less leave corpses and bloodstains. The place we fought was an endless plain, and there was no possibility for them to throw their corpses on the cliffs to kill them. We lost the vanguard, so we had to fight hard. But after a few days, the emperor suddenly issued a golden order, ordering us to return to the court immediately and discuss peace with Da Wu."

"Is it the imperial order?" Ling Xiao sneered, secretly thinking that it was indeed a good show arranged by that person.

But the situation is far more serious than I imagined.For example, not only Prince Jing and Prince Jing were missing, but also the [-] vanguards.

"Have you checked the corpses on the battlefield? Besides the soldiers of your headquarters, is there anyone suspicious?"

"Indeed there are." The general said, "Except for the soldiers of our own army, the rest are guys in night clothes. We can't tell where they came from. But they look more like us from the Central Plains."

"Where are the weapons they use? Is it a unified sword or different ones?"

"They're all long knives. They're all long knives." The general was puzzled, "But why do you ask this?"

"I just feel that there are some eyebrows." Ling Xiao thought deeply, "By the way, what is the thing that the general asked me to come here to identify?"

"I found this in the prince's room." The general handed a rectangular box with a lock to Ling Xiao's hands. "Although the surface of the box was kissed by fire, it was discovered in time and has not been destroyed. I would like you to take a look at it." , Is this the prince's thing? If not, I'll ask a blacksmith to saw him off."
